Sully was very happy with the first attack. He immediately gathered five hundred men, plus a hundred archers, and prepared for a second attack. He now wants to seize the Mei Lou and wants to occupy it completely.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Xiong Ba means. But if he wanted to give up Meilou, which had been attacking for two days, he was unwilling. Did not his men die in vain? So he decided to take it anyway, even if the loss was greater, it didn't matter. As long as Lu Longsai is taken down, with his own merits, he will definitely have more money in the distribution of property than Que Ji in the future. Because of this battle, the property of his own Mushen tribe may not necessarily exceed that of the Pegasus tribe of Que Ji, so the opportunity for Eastern Xianbei to be his own boss is getting faster and faster.

With a command from Suli, the second attack began.

Hearing the horn of attack coming from Meishan, Tian Jing turned his head and said loudly to the herald: "Tell Lord Jun Sima Wang that the timing must be grasped well, not too early." ”

Then he said to Chai Ting, who was standing beside him: "Tell the troops to prepare to prevent the enemy from attacking." Once the enemy on Meishan captured Meilou, Wuyan might take the opportunity to immediately launch a siege operation. ”

Wang Jin stood behind twenty giant crossbow machines. This giant crossbow machine can shoot up to 500 paces and is usually only equipped with large fortresses such as Louronse. However, this type of bow machine has many defects, resulting in a very low usage rate. The giant crossbow machine needs a saddle, otherwise the center of gravity cannot be controlled when moving and firing, and it needs five soldiers to operate at the same time, and the hit rate is extremely low. In the process of defending Lu Longse this time, Tian Jing didn't even think about it, he thought it would be useless at all. It wasn't until Li Hong came up with a plan to burn Meishan that this behemoth suddenly showed its importance. A hundred giant arrows lying on the ground were neatly stacked next to each bow machine. Each arrow was wrapped in a thick tarpaulin around its arrowhead. Twenty braziers were placed behind the crossbow machine.

Wang Jin looked at the giant big dragon on Lu Long's floor, and said to the entourage behind him with a smile: "You see, today's Northwest style is big, even God is willing to help." ”

The attendant behind him suddenly whispered: "My lord, the strong northwest wind does help the fire, and the fire still starts from the enemy's back, and the enemy on the mountain will definitely be wiped out." But the fire will also burn down the plum building? ”

"Yes. But have you thought about it, if the enemy occupies the Mei Lou, we will suffer. If a fire is burned, no one can think of it, and no one will suffer. When the war is won, we will fix it again, and it will not be the same use. ”

Wu Yan looked at Meishan and said to Xiong Ba next to him: "The fat man seems to be unwilling to listen to you, and he is launching an onslaught of troops, and it is estimated that he will take Meilou." ”

Xiong Ba smiled bitterly and said, "Su Li wants to fight for merit." Since he didn't feel sorry for his loss, he had to let him go. I'm afraid that he can attack it and won't be able to defend it. Let's get ready for an attack. ”

"Now?"

"Nope. When the fat man hangs the battle flag on the plum tower, we will begin. ”

Li Hong dragged a wounded soldier in one hand, and while swinging his sword to resist the enemy's attack, he was retreating. On the section of the city wall from Meilou to the enemy's attack point, there was not a single Han soldier left.

"Kill...... Kill ......" Li Hong handed over the wounded soldier to his companion behind him, held the knife in both hands, and struggled to hack an enemy to death. He had multiple injuries on his body, and he couldn't support it anymore. Ji Ming stood shoulder to shoulder with him, leading the last fifty or so soldiers to resist heroically, vowing not to retreat. Hundreds of people crowded together on the narrow city walls, one by one, like butchers with red eyes, cutting around mercilessly, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and rivers of blood.

Sully was already standing under the city walls. More than 1,000 soldiers of the follow-up troops also moved forward and approached Meilou. His fat face trembled with excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Raise the battle flag, put up the battle flag...... More soldiers poured onto the city wall. A hundred archers who followed the assault force to storm had already occupied the Mei Tower. They cheered loudly, climbed to the top of the building, cut down the Han military flag, and erected their own tribe's wood god battle flag.

Wu Yan waved his hand vigorously, and more than a dozen giant horns behind him sounded at the same time, and the Hu coalition army began to attack the main city wall of Lulongsai. Inspired by the victorious capture of Meilou by the left-wing friendly forces, the Karasuma people and Xianbei people, like a herd of wild cattle out of control on the grassland, rushed madly to the battlefield.

Drums thundered over Luronse, and the soldiers shouted loudly. With Chai Ting's order, the first batch of long arrows flew out with a roar.

The soldiers next to the bow machine all had sweat on their faces and bodies, not roasted by the brazier next to them, but in a hurry. Wang Jin's black face was expressionless, and his eyes were motionless as he looked at the bloody killing battlefield on the auxiliary wall. He saw Ji Ming being kicked down by the enemy, saw a captain of the hundred-man team being cut through his body by four war knives, and saw Li Hong with his head scattered, devouring the enemy's life like a devil. Immediately, he saw the Hu clan battle flag erected on the Mei Tower.

Wang Jin was suddenly furious. The territory of the Great Han Kingdom could not allow the Hu people to run rampant.

He roared, "Ignition." "The soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time, took their arrows and lit them in the braziers.

"Upper Arrow ......"

"Let ......" The twenty giant long arrows let out a thrilling roar, and flew out with a "boom".

"Release ......, release ...... continuously," Wang Jin shouted almost hysterically at the crossbowmen.

Xiong Ba saw a very spectacular scene.

Twenty flaming arrows suddenly flew from the walls of Luronse, and they lined up like a fire-breathing dragon, making a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and flew towards Meishan.

Xiong Ba's heart was stabbed by a sword for a moment, and the heart-wrenching pain forced him to moan.

Uyan was so stunned that he forgot to even call out the order to retreat.

Winter.

A whistling northwest wind blows over Mt. Meishan. The whole hill was bare trees, large areas of dry shrubs, and the ground was full of withered weeds. Coupled with the fire oil that the Han soldiers quietly sprinkled on the bushes last night, and the nitrate powder on the weeds, the fire burned in an instant.

In the sky above Lu Longsai, the continuous fire dragon roared and roared, flying to all corners of Meishan. In the mountain forest, which was 500 paces away from Suli's army, the Han soldiers who had secretly ambushed here last night saw that the mountain forest in front of them was already on fire, and immediately set fire on fire and set up a second wall of fire behind the first wall of fire. In this way, even if the enemy escapes the first wall of fire, he will not escape the second, more fierce wall of fire.

Sully was stunned. He didn't know how things could suddenly turn out like this. Victory has been firmly held in the palm of his hand, how could he suddenly fly again.

After the first batch of rockets took to the sky, Wu Fei personally rang the golden gong in his hand and ordered Ji Ming and his soldiers to retreat. Li Hong brandished two knives, stayed at the end, and fought and retreated.

Ji Ming shouted: "Heizi, run, the stone gate is about to close." "Between the main city wall and the auxiliary wall, there is a stone gate, one zhang and five high, which is also the original consideration of the designer once the auxiliary wall or the main city wall is lost, there is a temporary emergency stone gate can cut off the contact between the two sides. Now the stone gate is descending.

Wu Fei pointed to the archer beside him and said, "Lie on the ground and shoot me, shoot ......." ”

With the help of the archers, Li Hong got rid of the enemy's entanglement, and when the stone gate was about to close, he crawled over. He lay on the ground, gasping for air, unable to stand up.

The follow-up troops of Sully's army were the first to panic. They were terrified, and scattered as birds and beasts and fled for their lives down the mountain. After discovering that the road down the mountain had been completely blocked by the fire, everyone cried and ran up the hill and to the Meilou city wall. Sully went up to the city wall as soon as the fire started. More than 1,000 follow-up soldiers fled to the city wall along ten ladders. In a short period of time, the entire auxiliary wall was already crowded with soldiers, and they had no way to escape from the fire zone, so they had to watch the fire sweep over.

The Hu coalition army was about to counterattack after receiving a burst of heavy fire from the Han army, when they heard the horn of retreat. Immediately they saw the Plum Mountain, which had begun to burn. By the time they retreated beyond the range of the Han army's bows and arrows, the entire Meishan was already a huge fireball.

The Hu coalition army was stunned one by one, dumbfounded, looking at the burning Meishan in distraction, looking at the looming soldiers on the Meishan, as if their screams were in their ears, which made people's hearts break. The excitement and excitement just now turned into fear and pain in the blink of an eye.

The fire in Meishan is getting bigger and bigger, and the flames continue to rise into the sky, which has already reflected half the sky. The temperature in the sky above Lulongse rose suddenly, even the air was scorching, and the ashes of the burning trees floated in the air with the wind, falling on the bloody battlefield.

Sully was so angry that he almost killed the guards who had reported to him.

The other side of the city wall is close to the valley, about a dozen zhang or so, not to mention putting ladders, you can't reach anything to the end. Su Li looked at the fire on Meishan in despair, clenched his hands into fists, and roared wildly in the sky. I was brave all my life, but I didn't expect it to end up like such a terrible death.

The fire burned more and more by the wind, and the temperature on the entire auxiliary wall became higher and higher, like a steamer, and it was no longer able to treat people. Mei Lou finally couldn't stand the scorching heat of the fire, and began to spontaneously combust, black smoke mixed with more and more flames rising into the air.

The soldiers who were crowded by the plum building couldn't help it at first, and the fear of being burned alive was really unbearable. First one soldier jumped down the valley, and then many more jumped without hesitation. The side wall is a dead end. The people above are either conscious of their dead ends, or they are waiting for death to come.

The Han soldiers on the main city wall were stunned, they didn't expect that this fire could burn to such a scale in the blink of an eye. Gradually, they couldn't stand the scorching fire, and gradually moved away from the stone gate dozens of steps away.

On the other side of the stone gate, there were sounds of banging on the door, shouting, begging for mercy, crying, screaming, and all kinds of sounds were endless, which was really unbearable. Some soldiers couldn't bear it and quietly walked farther away.

Wang Jin stood next to the bow machine and said coldly: "Don't have any compassion. Once these vicious brutes catch us, they never leave us alive. They have taken our innocent Han people captive and brutalized our defenseless border county people, have they ever had compassion? Have it? If we don't kill all these barbarians, there will be no peace in our country. ”

"Kill ......," a soldier shouted.

"Kill ......," more soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

Li Hong sat alone at the base of the city wall, not knowing whether what he was doing was right or wrong. Thinking of his comrades who had been brutally killed, he felt that he was not wrong in doing so. Hearing the miserable pleading outside the stone gate, he felt that he was too cruel again. It is a great sin to burn more than 1,000 people in one fire.

Why, why do we have to kill each other so much, forming countless hatreds?

Wuyan, Xianbei, and Que Ji watched as Su Li and his troops were engulfed in flames.

They could not accept this harsh truth. Under the absolute superiority of almost one-sided, the Han army took advantage of such a big loophole, burned Meishan, and wiped out the entire army of Suli, and it was so cruel that the whole army was annihilated. Xiong Ba was sad and blamed himself. He felt that he should have thought about it, but he was carried away by the superiority of his troops and the initial victory, which made him ignore the potential dangers of fighting in the mountains and forests, and despise his opponent.

The blow that the Han army inflicted on the Hu coalition army was too great, especially the blow to morale. Seeing the burning Meishan and the soldiers struggling to die in the flames, no one is not afraid, no one is not afraid. The impregnable Luronse has given his soldiers not only unbreakable myths, but also brutal and terrifying means of destroying the enemy.

The demise of the Suli army caused the Hu coalition to lose its numerical superiority, and the siege of the city seemed to be a distant matter. Uyan's troops seemed to be overly frightened, and they retreated the camp three miles, far away from the charred Meishan. They are no longer attacking, they are waiting for the return of Xiongba.

That night, Xiong Ba left the camp in a hurry with more than a dozen guards. He also has a contingency plan. He left the camp to carry out this contingency plan.

The fire burned until noon the next day, when it was slowly extinguished. If it weren't for the walls that prevented the fire from continuing, it was not known where and how long.

It was impossible for the soldiers who jumped into the valley to survive, and the soldiers who remained on the auxiliary wall were either roasted to death by fire or smoked alive. On the third day, when the Han soldiers opened the stone gate, they were surprised to find that there were still people who were not dead. Crushed by a large number of corpses at the bottom, several Xianbei soldiers close to the edge of the stone gate were still alive, including the fat man Su Li.

Luronse's first battle was victorious, and the entire fortress was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.
