Chapter 70: Heihong's Poisonous Scheme
A large group of Huns kept running with shields against the city wall, followed by many Qiang people. In view of the fact that objects often fall from high altitudes, each Qiang person is followed by a Yueshi person holding a large shield. This time, the big leaders of the coalition army have given death orders to succeed. If they don't succeed, they don't have to go back.
As with all previous attacks, a group of people were shot dead on the way. A number of falling objects were stoned to death, and only about seventy percent of the people who managed to reach it. The big buckets that were killed were Qiang and Yue, which is also strange. The more you fear death, the more the arrows will find you. The Qiang and Yueshi people, who were greedy for life and afraid of death, ran like rabbits, but they were still shot to death.
The guy who successfully reached the bottom of the West City began to build a sturdy shed out of raw cowhide and thick wooden planks. There was a "bang" and "bang" sound from the raw cowhide, and stones the size of a human head were thrown down from it. Fortunately, the thick planks were strong enough to hold on.
A group of Qiang people frantically fetched water and kept watering the raw cowhides. The raw cowhide was soaked in water and swelled up visibly. The wrinkles on the faces of the Qiang Great Elder who led the team were almost smiling, and the plan was successful. If the raw cowhide is soaked in water, it is wet and thick, so I don't believe that you Chinese people can set fire to the water.
Qi Guoyuan told them that they could!
A large vat of fire oil was poured down, and the torch was thrown and the fire burned on the raw cowhide. The Great Elder was shocked, the fire burned the raw cowhide "Zi" and "Zi", and the water vapor continued to transpirate upward, which was quite spectacular. Qi Guoyuan smiled and asked people to prepare the jar filled with fierce fire oil. As soon as those sheds were burned down, they were thrown down to turn these bold Yueshi and Qiang people into roast pigs.
But after burning for a while, Qi Guoyuan's face changed, and the water vapor was steaming, and the Qiang people risked death to pour water on it. The fire actually had a tendency to gradually extinguish, and the Qin army on the city wall was dumbfounded.
The part that has been extinguished. That thick raw cowhide actually ...... It was unscathed, but it was a little blackened. Almost at the same time. The Qiang people and the Yueshi people let out deafening cheers. Splashing water more diligently. There was a "clanging" sound from the shed. The heavy city wall was chiseled into debris flying all over the place, and the Tianqiang people and the Yueshi people who had suppressed it so much were desperate.
"Big brother, are they digging the city walls?" Qi Guoxing's face was a little pale, he had been guarding the West Gate for three days. The battle has been smooth, and this section of the city wall is blocked by an ice-free moat. The Huns hardly attacked from here, but they didn't expect to come here today. Not only did it have to be demolished, but it was also ready to take down the Pingliang city wall in one fell swoop.
"What's the panic? The walls of Pingliang are three or four zhang thick, and they are all cement brick walls. Even if they chisel desperately. It can also be quite long. Qi Guoyuan said that he was not panicking, but he was more panicked than anyone else. There is a new trend in siege warfare, and these guys don't actually climb ladders to play engineering instead. Who said that these guys are not smart, and their mother's tails are better than monkeys.
It's a pity that Master Geng is not here, otherwise he would definitely be able to come up with a way to deal with the situation in front of him. Qi Guoyuan kept telling himself to be calm, but the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. The more anxious I was, the more I couldn't think of a way, and the day when the dog could freeze to death after the snow was actually in a hurry, I was in a hurry and sweated.
"It's just a few big planks, just smash it." When Qi Guoyuan was in a hurry, Qi Guobiao suddenly said.
"Take ......!" Qi Guoyuan swallowed the words into his stomach stiffly. Because Qi Guobiao's hand was pointing at the ram hanging upside down in mid-air with an iron chain.
This thing was a large cast iron ball, weighing six or seven hundred catties. Mounted on a dedicated boom. The iron ball is surrounded by thorns. There was a thick iron chain attached to it, which was originally intended to hit the opponent's ladder. These days have caused a lot of casualties to the Huns, and Qi Guoyuan secretly hates himself for forgetting this thing.
The Qiang people and the Yueshi people were planning happily, and suddenly heard the sound of "Galala" from above. I was bold enough to show half of my head to look at it, but I was so frightened that I almost fainted. A huge hammer smashed down in free fall with spikes all over its body.
"Boom......!" The sledgehammer slammed into the plank, and the sturdy wooden frame shook. The people who stayed in the shed were like the end of the world, but fortunately the thick planks were still strong. The thunderous blow of the giant hammer did not work.
More than a dozen Qin soldiers hurriedly pulled up with the inverted chain king, and with the help of the power of pulleys, the huge hammer actually rose little by little. The Huns, Yueshi, and Qiang people under the city and in the distance all looked stupid. This thing can still be used this way!
The inverted chain pulled the huge hammer to the top of the boom, and Qi Guoyuan struck the circlip. "Boom......!" This time it fell, and the sawdust flew and smashed the heavy plank out of a hole. As soon as the inverted chain was pulled up, more than a dozen lit jars of kerosene were thrown down. Three or four of them were thrown into the hole and exploded, "Ahhh......hh "The Qiang people and the Yue people under the city lost their protection, and suddenly entered the world of flames.
A dozen people covered in fire screamed and plunged into the moat, and many more ran blindly without their heads. I don't know which heartless leader led the head, and followed those burning men into the moat.
The moat is full of hot springs, and the ice and snow are also good. Unexpectedly, the leather robe was soaked with water and thick and heavy. Although most of them climbed to the opposite shore, as soon as a little cool breeze blew, these guys immediately knew what it meant to be sour.
In the weather that had just snowed, it was dead cold. Almost as soon as the water came out, the wet hair began to freeze. When the whole person is exposed to the air, a thin layer of ice forms on the leather robe. The felt boots on my feet were filled with water, and I felt cold to my bones after I could walk a few steps.
The guys who climbed up in the moat fell to the ground after not walking more than a dozen steps. Swinging all over his body, he opened his mouth dryly, but few people could shout. Even if it is shouted, it is with a trill.
"Don't let go of the arrows, freeze them to death!" I don't know who shouted at the head of the city, and the killers actually stopped the bows and crossbows in their hands together. Looking at the city below, people are moving one by one. Many people struggle to get up after falling, but they can't do it anyway.
The Qiang elder was quite smart, hiding under the city wall and not following those people into the moat. However, this is not a good place, and the wooden shed has been subjected to more than a dozen jars of fire oil and burned violently. The fire did not bring warmth, but it brought death.
If you can't stay under the wooden shed, you will be hit by stones when you get out. Stones the size of a human head fell like raindrops, and in the winter people's bones were frozen. All it takes is a stone to knock a person to their stomach.
When countless stones fell from the sky, someone actually put their head against the stone. These people are deliberately seeking death, and it is better to be stoned to death than to be frozen to death or burned to death.
Suddenly no stones were thrown at the city, and the Qin army seemed to have changed their minds. The more than 1,000 surviving Qiang people of the Yue clan who were in a mess didn't know what to do, and when they searched left and right, they found that the Great Elder didn't know when, and his head had been smashed. The brains spilled on the ground, and lay motionless on the ground,
Black Wind's eyes closed, and it was over. These Yueshi and Qiang people are finished, but his own 500 Hun warriors are also finished. I could only watch the Qin army on the city tower, using a giant hammer to constantly sweep a long wooden shed. For each smashed, several lit jars of oil were thrown down from the towers.
The fire would quickly consume the wreckage, and then the Qin army would slowly move its boom to deal with the next wooden shed.
"Big brother, these people are finished. Let's go! Hei Hong sighed, he had advised Hei Feng before setting out on the expedition. But Hei Feng, who was bent on revenge, thought that with the equipment of the Qin people, he could conquer Pingliang. Not only can you avenge the revenge of the year, but you can also loot a lot of wealth in Pingliang. Before setting out on the expedition, he specially found the Yue clan and Qiang people, who had been bullied by Yun Yue, and hoped that they would mobilize the people in the city to cooperate with each other.
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very bold. Black Wind once again drank hatred under Pingliang City, a fortified city that he was destined to be unable to conquer. The last time it was a little bit worse, this time it was filled in with tens of thousands of lives. Only a few city bricks were picked back, and Black Wind gritted his teeth with hatred. But in the face of the tall Pingliang city wall, he had no choice at all.
"Big brother, withdraw! The Chinese have stored mountains of grain in the city, and we are not qualified to trap people. This time we lost. Heihong said helplessly.
"Go, where to go. Do you think that if Da Dan does not speak, it is a tacit approval of our actions? He was watching, he was watching. If we win, he will come and pick the fruit. If we lose, believe it or not, as long as we are caught up by Da Danyu. We must die without a place to be buried! Brother, from the day we set out, we had no way out. ”
Hei Feng's heart was dripping blood, and Hei Long, the eldest brother who was in the royal court, asked someone to come back and send a letter saying that he did not agree to attack Pingliang. He was in a distant royal court, how could he know about his attack on Pingliang. This is the eldest brother telling himself euphemistically, Da Shan Yu and Zuo Da Du Lieutenant, the two old foxes, know what they are going to do.
They didn't stop it, pretending that they didn't know and had the idea of taking it all. Now that they have been defeated, will they still seize this opportunity? Over the years, the Black tribe has continued to grow and has become a thorn in the side of Da Shan Yu. Now, he will definitely take advantage of the new defeat and weakness of the Black tribe to pull out this nail.
Hei Hong immediately understood what the eldest brother meant, glanced left and right and approached Hei Feng and said, "Big brother, don't forget." We have suffered heavy losses, and the Qiang people and the Yueshi people have suffered equally heavy losses. Why not swallow up their people and rob their pastures, cattle and sheep? Let's make up for this loss! ”
