Chapter 43: The Battle

The blue karmic fire burned the stiff corpses, and several Huns rushed up to extinguish the flames with their feet. As a result, a burning skin bag was suddenly thrown down from the city wall, and the "bang" skin bag burst in the air.

The burning fire oil stained the whole body of these Huns, and the dozen or so brave Huns who rushed up suddenly turned into fire men. With their hands outstretched, they flapped helplessly against their burning robes. The most primitive screams of human beings in the chest cavity erupted from his mouth, and even the slaughtering men who were accustomed to seeing dead people on the battlefield couldn't help but feel creepy when they heard it.

Soon they were burned and writhed helplessly on the ground. There were their relatives in the procession, and these people rushed up at the risk of their lives, took off their robes and tried to extinguish the flames on them. But what awaits these brave ones is another burning oil packet.

"Bang" The second oil ladle fell from the sky and exploded in mid-air. The scattered fire oil burned wherever it was stained, and the shirtless Huns were even more miserable. The burning oil poured directly on their skin, and the white skin was burned in an instant.

The Huns screamed and wailed, and billowing green smoke rose above them. The screams that came out of his mouth were like Shin Yin, a demon coming out of hell, and they followed in the footsteps of their relatives. Like their loved ones, burned to the ground. Tormented by intense pain, they rolled and howled, and scratched helplessly with their hands. And their relatives were already lying on the ground, their bodies twisting awkwardly, emitting green smoke, and the fire snake was bubbling out of their mouths and eyes.

Watching his own people being burned alive was a huge shock. Even the bravest people can hardly accept such a death. It was so miserable that no one dared to come forward to help, or even approach them. I'm afraid I'll suffer the same fate as them.

A dozen burning men quickly cleared a large clearing under the city walls, while the bodies behind them were ignited by the torches that were thrown down. Under the scorching fire, the corpse soon dripped out of the corpse oil, and the mixture of human oil and fire oil burned even more violently.

The steaming scorching smell of people was smoking, and people avoided the stench of smoky corpses as if they were avoiding the plague. In this way, the sound of fighting at the Lingwu Pass for two miles stopped temporarily.

The military minister looked at the burned wolf rushing to the Huns, and the teeth in his mouth were almost crushed. Behind him were the high priests who were constantly jumping and jumping, waving the ox bones in their hands and begging the Kunlun god to continue to bestow power on those faithful supporters. These high priests were summoned by the military ministers from the city of Seoul overnight, and their mission was to ensure that the Xiongnu soldiers besieging the city would not be attacked by Han magic.

But it seems that the god Kunlun seems to be asleep, or has abandoned his people. His strength did not grow in the bodies of these Hun soldiers, nor did he bless them from fire and water.

Facing the Hun soldiers who retreated like a tide. There is no way to do it. I want the cavalry to enter the Great Wall. Breaking through the barriers in front of you is the easiest way to do it. Otherwise, the Hun cavalry, who are good at cavalry and archery, can only fight the same as the infantry, and fight with their own shortcomings and the strengths of others, which is unwise behavior.

The Huns could only retreat beyond the range of the Han people's bows and crossbows, waiting for the corpses to burn out. Anyway, these corpses can't be burned for a lifetime. The Huns sat on the snow. While eating jerky and drinking goat's milk. While cursing the Han army on the city wall.

Liu Cheng and Wei Juan supported very hard. The section of the Great Wall they guarded, the walls of which they were not as tall as those of Lingwu Pass. The Hun soldiers couldn't climb much higher along the ladder to climb up. Some time ago, it had been broken several times, and Yun Xiao was recaptured by virtue of the bravery of the brute bull.

In particular, the section of the wall where Toulon died was only more than a zhang high. It was very easy for the Huns to get up. Dozens of Xiongnu soldiers had already climbed the city wall and fought hand-to-hand with the Yulin guards.

The Yulin guards fought all night last night, and they were on the road for a day. Already sleepy and lacking horses, Wei Juan commanded a team of people to run to the bottom of the city wall, riding horses to shoot the Huns who climbed the city wall. When the Great Wall was built, there were only one side facing the Xiongnu with a battlement, and the one facing the Han Dynasty without any battlements.

The small space gave the exposed Huns no room to dodge, and they were shot by the Han army under the city like a target. Those of them who were besieging the city were armed with swords and axes, and it was impossible to even fight back with no bows and arrows. In addition, the Yulin guards at both ends used halberds, which took a great advantage in the game. The sword of the Huns had not yet been handed to the Han army, and it had already pierced several holes in the halberd.

Under the two flanking attacks, these Huns were actually pushed down.

The Longyou soldiers on the other side have already fought oilily, and they are no longer fighting as hard as before. After a long fight, they inadvertently invented such a thing as a battering rod, and the four of them held a batter rod modified from a halberd. Shouting the trumpet to overturn the ladders erected by the Huns, although the city wall is not high, it is enough to choke on the ice and snow.

Many of the Huns broke their arms and legs, and were unable to fight again, so they were supported by their companions to recuperate.

"Da Danyu, we can't fight like this anymore. You see that these soldiers have become war-weary, how can such soldiers fight again. According to the old slave, it is impossible to break through Lingwu and attack Chang'an. This winter, we have lost nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Hetao.

We need to recuperate, and the minions don't see it as if we evacuate the loop. Turning to attack Yunzhong and Daijun, now the main forces of the Han army are concentrated in Hetao, and there is no way to transfer Yunzhong Daijun. Let's go to Daijun to plunder some people, cattle and sheep, and replenish military funds. ”

Zhongxingyue saw those Han soldiers who were so angry that they had no strength to scold and bow their heads to eat and drink, and helplessly comforted the military ministers Shan Yu.

How could Shan Yu, a military minister who has led troops all the year round, not see that these soldiers under his command have become bored. Since the beginning of winter, the battle at the Hetao has been unsmooth. Always fighting against the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings, this damn Great Wall is connected. Even the siege could not be done, and a strong attack could only turn the cavalry into infantry.

Fighting from the Eastern Front to the Western Front, the loss of troops will be tens of thousands. In addition, the number of wounded was close to 100,000, which was a huge loss for the Huns, whose population was only more than 2 million. Maybe this Zhongxingyue is right, and now he can only give up the Hetao with difficulty. However, if the Han people want to encircle the Hetao, it will not be completed without ten or twenty years.

Let's go to the clouds to grab a handsome with Daijun first, and then come back next year to settle accounts with you. (To be continued......)
