Chapter 863: Cold Night Freeze
***
The pass is reckless, the frost and wind are strong, the dust is dark, the horses are hoarse, and the drums are intertwined. Under Lin Kezhai, the enemy's wave after wave of attacks was like layers of dark clouds pressing down on the peaks, swords and lights were like lightning, arrows were like rain, and roaring like thunder.
This time, Hadan Batel made a bloody attack regardless of casualties, in order to quickly break through the stockade, firstly, to cause a greater shock to Daqin, and secondly, he did not bring any logistics, and he could not delay, and he had to break the city as much as possible to get food and grass supplies.
However, a border village like Lin Kezhai was small and strong, and although Qi Yan only had three or two hundred troops, they had sufficient weapons, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy army besieging the city.
Under the wall, the corpses of the enemy are layered layer after layer, the thick smell of blood permeates the wind, the blood-red remnant sun gradually slants westward, and the heat of the sun can no longer be felt, the north wind is getting tighter and tighter, blowing the Qinzi banner on the wall of the wall.
Yan Xiaoman wiped the blood on his face, and while watching the movement outside the city, he said to Qi Yan, who was bandaging the knife wound on his arm: "Head, it looks like the enemy is at the end of the crossbow, or let's go out of the village and give him a look after nightfall." ”
The wound on Qi Yan's arm was not deep, and it had little impact on combat effectiveness after bandaging, he licked his chapped lips and said, "Xiaoman, the brothers are also very tired, and they want to launch a night attack, I'm afraid!" When Qi Yan said this, he couldn't help but exclaim when he saw that the enemy outside the city was collecting pine branches and other things, "Quick, let the village send dinner quickly, the enemy may have to attack the city overnight." ”
"This ghost weather, the water drips into ice at night, and the enemy is going to attack the city overnight, it's really fatal" Yan Xiaoman said this, and suddenly paused, his eyes rolled, and then said, "Head, I have an idea." ”
"Xiaoman, what do you have in mind?" Qi Yan hurriedly asked;
They were Scouts. Yan Xiaoman is the worst one in terms of combat effectiveness, but he has read a little book, and his brain is the most flexible, during the battle of Shangqiu, the idea of pretending to be an enemy to hunt the Qing army rangers was Yan Xiaoman's idea;
That time, they received a lot of credit, Qi Yan was promoted to the general manager, and Shen Daqian, Ye Guigen, etc. were also raised to the general flag, which can be said to be due to Yan Xiaoman.
"Head, it's cold now, and the water is dripping into ice at night. When I read the speech of the Three Kingdoms, I remember that Cao Cao fought Ma Chao in the Wei River, Ma Chao and Han Sui led the Western Liang soldiers to a great victory, intercepted the Wei River, Cao Cao could not set up a camp, and was worried, Xun You said to Cao Cao that the sand and soil of the Wei River could be taken to build an earthen city, and it could be defended.
Cao Cao allocated 30,000 soldiers to build the city. Ma Chao ordered Pang De and Ma Dai to lead 500 horse troops each. Conflicts between back and forth, because the sand is not solid, build and fall;
Cao Cao had nothing to do, and the soldiers were terrified. There was an old man who lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, named Lou Zibo, known as Mengmei Jushi, who came to see Cao Cao. It is said that the clouds are covered for days, and the wind is together, and the weather must be frozen."
"Oops. I seem to have heard of this, Xiaoman, what do you mean, let's also splash water and build a wall? ”
"Head, although we don't need to build a wall, we can pour some water on the head of the city to make the head of the city ice, so that if you don't leave your hands, it will be difficult for the enemy to climb up."
"Yes, yes, after all, you can take someone to prepare water."
Yan Xiaoman hurriedly said: "Prepare more, let's not just splash the city, this is a weapon that is more powerful than the earth-shaking thunder, prepare a little more, there are enemies who look good." ”
After having an idea, all the people in Lin Kezhai took action, nervously preparing the weapons that Yan Xiaoman said were more powerful than the earth-shattering thunder.
Hadanbatel didn't realize this, he was really forced to be in a hurry, and the food and grass he brought could not support him for two days, so he decided to attack the city overnight.
During the day, the sun is a little better, but at night, the temperature plummets, the cold wind howls, and the face is like a knife.
Outside the city, the torches were connected, as vast as a sea of fire, illuminating half of the night sky, and in the howling north wind, the Mongolian soldiers carried the ladder, howled, and rushed to Lin Kezhai again.
This time they noticed that something was wrong, the Lin Ke village was surprisingly quiet, so quiet that it was a little hairy, and the charging Mongol soldiers asked each other while running:
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that all the Qin troops in the stockade are dead?"
"yes, yes, why don't you see a figure?"
"It looks like a ghost town, something is wrong, the enemy must have an ambush, everyone pay attention"
A group of Mongolian soldiers rushed to the wall of the fortress nervously, and were busy erecting the ladder up, when suddenly there was a burst of "Boom! Buckets of cold water were poured down on the originally empty wall, just like a heavenly river pouring down on the Mongolian soldiers under the wall.
"Ahh
"Oops!"
"Shhh
This night, it was already so cold that his fingers were cracked, and at this moment he was poured into a soup chicken, and all kinds of screams in the city suddenly rang out, and some people screamed, worse than being stabbed;
After soaking wet, the whistling north wind blew, and few people could stand the biting cold, and the Mongolian soldiers were frozen and danced under the city, the scene was both funny and miserable.
The moisture on the clothes quickly condensed into ice, almost freezing the whole person. After the ladder was dipped in water, it quickly froze, and the later Mongol soldiers slipped and fell down after climbing up a few squares.
There is nothing in the city, but there is a lot of water, Yan Xiaoman and they poured buckets and buckets down, splashing the Mongolian soldiers who were besieging the city to cry and cry their mothers, and in this process, the Qin army at the head of the city did not need to show their heads at all, anyway, the water did not need money, just splashed down.
"One more barrel, one more barrel for me" Yan Xiaoman shouted, as if Wu Song was drinking at the restaurant.
Everyone hid under the arrow battlements, and kept pouring water, and the head of the city seemed to be pouring down, and they poured down, and only a few strong Mongolian soldiers continued to climb up after getting wet with their clothes, and luckily climbed to the head of the city, only to find that the city was also frozen, and it was more slippery than the girl's carcass, and there was nowhere to start.
The Qin army at the head of the city could stab these Mongolian men who were busy stabilizing their bodies from the city with an easy stab with a knife and gun.
A battle for life turned into a Songkran Festival.
Don't underestimate this trick, in this cold and biting night, after a body of clothes is soaked, no matter how strong a person is, he can't stand it, if he doesn't change out of wet clothes, a cup of tea is enough to die.
The question is, the Mongolian soldiers who came in a hurry only brought food and grass for two or three days, where did they get to change their winter clothes?
Hadan Baatle saw the hundreds of people who had withdrawn in a hurry, their faces were blue from the cold, their teeth were ringing, and only half of their lives were left, could this battle still be fought?
"Quick, take off your wet clothes and dry them," Hadanbatel shouted.
The hundreds of soldiers were so numb with ice that they couldn't even take off their clothes, so they had to rely on other soldiers to help them peel off their wet clothes.
For a while, hundreds of naked men in the camp crowded around the fire to display their bodies, and the scene was really spectacular.
Hadan asked Ter to bring blankets again and put them on these naked men, which was slightly better.
At the head of the city, Yan Xiaoman and they saw that they could easily repel the enemy's attack without a single shot, and they all laughed happily.
"Come on, Lao Tzu has water."
"Hahaha, freeze his cock and freeze"
"Oops, if you touch it lightly after freezing, click! In this life, you can only enter the palace as a eunuch! ”
"Hahaha"
That night, Hadanbaatle's attack had to end hastily, and almost all of the hundreds of people who were splashed with wet clothes fell ill, and overnight, the camp was full of sick people, one by one, half-dead, moaning, which was more demoralizing than all dead.
The next day, the unwilling Hadan Baatar once again forced the soldiers to attack, and the Qin army at the head of the city was still a thunderstorm, a burst of cold water splashed, which made the Mongolian soldiers besieging the city cry bitterly, even if the general held a knife on his neck, there were few who were willing to continue the siege.
At this time, Hadan Batel received news that Zhao Zhensheng, the general of the Qin army, led a thousand people to reinforce Lin Kezhai, and he did not dare to stop for a while, and immediately ordered the siege to be withdrawn.
However, he did not withdraw immediately, but gathered all his troops and prepared to fight with Zhao Zhensheng and regain face.
