"What?" Qiu Zhenhu looked at Xiao Muqing suspiciously

Xiao Muqing said: "It's too early to use the oil fire now, don't be impatient!"

Qiu Zhen's brows twisted into a pimple, and said: "Now that we can't stop the barbarians, if we don't need oil and fire, the barbarians will come in the sand!"

Xiao Muqing smiled lightly and said, "It's not too late to use it by then." Seeing Qiu Zhen's disapproving face, Xiao Muqing took a step forward, put it to his side, and whispered in his ear: "Master Qiu is a talented learner, and he is a rare general, but I am afraid that his actual combat experience is not as good as that of his subordinates, please think twice about the suggestions of his subordinates!"

Qiu Zhen stared at Xiao Muqing and was silent.

Xiao Muqing said again: "Now that the enemy is present, once the city is broken, it will be difficult for us to save our lives, so if I am not completely sure, I will never speak to the adults here." ”

Qiu Zhen sighed secretly, Xiao Muqing's words were polite on the surface, but in fact they were not merciless at all, but what he said was also true, his experience in dealing with the enemy was indeed far inferior to Xiao Muqing, who had been in the military for nearly ten years, especially against brute soldiers.

After a moment of silence, Qiu Zhen raised his head, looked directly into Xiao Muqing's eyes, and said, "I hope you don't kill more than 10,000 brothers in the city," as he spoke, he handed the command flag in his hand to Xiao Muqing, and said, "Now it's under your command for the time being!"

At the critical moment, Qiu Zhen was able to take the initiative to give power to himself, Xiao Muqing was also surprised, looked at Qiu Zhen, and then looked at the Ling Qi handed in front of him, and wanted to reach out to pick it up, but he was a little hesitant, looking at Ling Qi in a daze.

"Xiao joins the army, what are you waiting for?" Qiu Zhen asked in a condensed voice.

Xiao Muqing came back to his senses, no longer hesitated, and while taking the command flag, he said: "Thank you Lord Qiu for your trust in his subordinates!" He held the order flag in his hand, his heart was surging, once upon a time, he also dreamed of holding the command flag and commanding thousands of troops, but he didn't expect it to become a reality today.

didn't have time to sigh, he waved his hand to call the herald and said: "Pass the order, the soldiers defending the city must protect the fire oil, when to use it, watch my order flag!"

"Yes!" Xiao Muqing has the command flag in his hand, he is the current commander, how dare the herald slack off, hurriedly agreed, and rushed away.

At this time, the barbarians invested more manpower in the siege of the city, except for the main general and his personal guards, almost all of the cavalry of the barbarians were used on the battlefield, and the ladders that were fought were connected in a row, and tens of thousands of barbarians climbed towards the city like wild beasts, and the wind army defending the city also used all the city defense weapons that could be used.

Rolling logs that flew down from the city, There are many stones like hailstones, the arrows that fly down are like raindrops, and the barbarians who fall from mid-air are like dumplings, but such a strong attack still can't stop the barbarians from rushing to kill, and the time is not long, the barbarians who have just come have not even had time to wave their weapons, and they are pierced by a few or even a few spears that come on, and they fall down on their backs, but then the barbarians who followed frantically pounced on many spears, and at the same time successfully overwhelmed countless defenders while being stabbed into a hornet's nest, and won time for the companions who followed behind。

Under such a desperate blow from the barbarians, the wind army gradually became unable to parry, and more and more barbarians gathered at the head of the city.

When the wind army is on the defensive, it still has an advantage, and once the enemy attacks the city wall and becomes a face-to-face confrontation, the wind army is not the opponent of the brute soldiers at all, often two or three wind troops can not stand a brute soldier, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides of the battlefield are suddenly divided.

Qiu Zhen of the tower of the battlefield to see the battlefield seriously, he is anxious to practice stomping, if the barbarians do not attack the city, their own side relies on the advantage of defending the city still have to fight, now the barbarians have come to the sand, their own side has no advantage at all, defeat is only a matter of time.

He slapped down the arrow stack, turned around violently, glared at Xiao Muqing angrily, and said angrily: "Do you want to kill us......

Before he finished his words, Xiao Muqing, who was standing far away from the place, suddenly raised the order flag and waved it again and again. Receiving the order of the banner, the wind army who guarded the fire oil all took the oil pot and roared to the edge of the city wall, pouring the boiling hot fire oil inside.

Some of the barbarians had already stormed the city wall, but many more were still climbing the ladders and waiting under the city wall, pouring some fire oil on their heads, but the barbarians below who had not had time to climb the city head were suffering. The fire is hot, not to mention being poured on the head, even if the oil droplets stick to the skin, it can burn a big blister.

In just an instant, the screams under the cloud ladder and the city wall were connected, and countless barbarians were burned by the fire oil and even their faces fell off, revealing vague flesh and bones, and their appearance was so miserable that no one could see it.

This is not over, after seeing that all the fire oil was poured down, Xiao Muqing waved the order flag here, leaned out of the tower with half of his body, pulled his neck and shouted: "Put rockets, get oil!"

With his order, Feng Junmin lit it one after another, and for a while, the city wall was full of rockets.

As the rocket fell, the border city suddenly turned into a sea of fire, followed by a terrible scream.

The barbarians who had not been affected by the oil or who had been tightly scalded were in the midst of the fire, and they were burned all over the body, screaming again and again, and their cries were so terrible that the wind army on the city wall felt terrified, and the air was filled with a thick smell of burnt flesh and skin.

The commander of the barbarian army obviously did not expect such a situation, and was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered all the barbarian soldiers besieging the city to withdraw immediately.

The sea of fire became more and more intense, and it was difficult for the barbarians who were blocked outside to move forward at all, and after listening to the commander's order to retreat, many barbarians turned around and retreated to their own camp.

They withdrew, and the barbarians under the city were burned to ashes, and those who had already climbed the walls were immediately left alone. The situation on the battlefield is so rapidly changing, these brute soldiers who rushed to the front thought they were warriors who knocked on the door of victory, but now they have become dead soldiers who have penetrated the door of death.

Behind is the sea of fire, in front of the sea of people and the wind army, it can be said that the thousand brute soldiers are dead end no matter forward or backward, although they are still holding weapons in their hands, although the performance is still fierce, but the eyes have revealed despair, on the other hand, the wind army, morale is high, the thousand barbarians are divided into mature sections, and the regiments are surrounded.

At this point in the battle, Xiao Muqing of the tower often sighed in his heart, don't look at his calm appearance, in fact, his heart has already been twisted together, his nervousness is by no means inferior to anyone present, delaying time, conniving at the barbarian city is his plan, pouring fire oil to isolate the barbarian soldiers is also his plan, killing and injuring the enemy soldiers is secondary, as long as the purpose is to burn as many barbarian ladders as possible, as long as the barbarian ladders are insufficient, it is difficult for the barbarian manpower to play a role. His plan can be regarded as a great success, this fire burned most of the ladders of the barbarians to ashes, and at the same time greatly killed and injured the barbarians, severely dampening the opponent's spirit.

He turned his head sideways and called the herald again, and said: "Pass my order, capture as many barbarians trapped in the city wall as possible, and kill those who stubbornly resist this!"

"Yes! Join the army!" The commander of the First World War ordered, and the herald admired Xiao Muqing's ability, and his confidence in him was also greatly increased, and when he replied, he was a lot more confident, and his voice was loud.

Xiao Muqing exhaled a breath of turbidity, turned his head to look at Qiu Zhen, smiled slightly, and said, "Just now, I frightened the adults!" He had something to say, ostensibly to appease Qiu Zhen, but in fact he was sarcastic that he couldn't hold his breath and didn't have the style of a general.

Qiu Zhen came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Muqing in surprise. No matter what Xiao Muqing's personality is, but his ability is indeed outstanding, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, his mind is calm, and with rich experience, this person is an opponent who can make the enemy frightened on the battlefield.

Hearing the mockery in his words, Qiu Zhen was not angry, at least on the surface, he smiled indifferently and said lightly: "I am frightened, no, it's just that I am a little nervous about the brute soldiers for the first time." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to look at the Ling Qi that Xiao Muqing held tightly in his palm.

Now that the barbarians have withdrawn temporarily, there have been many casualties, and most of the ladders have been burned, presumably it will be difficult to launch an offensive for a while and a half, it stands to reason that Xiao Muqing should return the Ling Qi to Qiu Zhen at this time, but the latter is stable and comfortable.

Deliberately ignoring Qiu Zhen's eyes, Xiao Muqing smiled, and turned his eyes to look outside the city,

Yu Yu said: "The barbarian soldiers suffered a big loss in the first siege of the city, and if they attack the city again, they will definitely use all their strength, and it will be very difficult for us to resist at that time!"

Qiu Zhen frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?

Xiao Muqing shook his head and said: "The enemy has already taken precautions, and it is difficult to achieve results by attacking with fire, now we can only rely on Lord Tang, if Lord Tang can arrive in time, we can break the enemy army, if the Lord can't come, I'm afraid we will ...... There is less bad luck!"

Qiu Zhen trembled and asked, "How do you think the barbarians will attack the city next?"

Xiao Muqing replied: "Either attack from all sides, or take the lead with spirit warriors and take the city gate!"

Qiu Zhen gasped, if the barbarians really dispersed and besieged the four city walls, then their own defense would lose its focus, and there would not be much manpower, and if they were dispersed to the four city walls, I am afraid that they would soon be broken by the barbarians. After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, Qiu Zhen's face also became solemn. The more than 1,000 soldiers who remained on the city wall did not resist for long, except for some who were killed, the rest were all taken prisoner by the wind army.

Xiao Muqing asked these brutes to be tied up and pushed in front of the city, even if they could not play the role of hostages, they could be used to deter the enemy.

The first siege failed miserably, so that the losses of the barbarians were not small, with more than 10,000 casualties, and before the barbarians could launch the next round of attack, the rear of the camp was dusty, and a team of men and horses rushed forward.
