Chapter 132: Impregnable (will be released tomorrow, please subscribe)
Yue Fei rolled his eyes, and then waved his hand to give an order. Then he saw a ball of flames suddenly rising above the Yanmenguan city tower, and the Hun soldiers under the city gate were instantly swallowed up by the flames.
"There will be time for you to perform later." Yue Fei turned his head and said calmly, then ignored the two people who were furious and concentrated on commanding the defense of the city.
The remaining pots of fire oil were finally carried to the top of the city and poured down on the Huns soldiers crowded under the city tower.
When the hot oil soaks into the skin through the shield and armor, the hot moxibustion heat is enough to scare the most determined soldiers.
The next moment, dozens of rockets brutally rained down from the city tower, and the splash of fire oil started to burn in an instant. The raging flames quickly swallowed up more than a hundred Huns soldiers together with the ramming car!
In the scorching white flames, one could still clearly see the Liangzhou soldiers who were still alive, wailing miserably and struggling desperately.
Seeing that the casualties of the siege team were so high, Yuvluo twitched the corners of his mouth and gritted his teeth and said: "This Yue Fei does have some ability!"
Yuvro felt his heart bleed. He thought that if Gao Shun was not around and commanded the defense, it would be easy to attack the city, but the fact slapped him hard in the face.
Damn it, how come the Han people have so many talented people, but any military commander is so difficult to deal with. Yuvluo cursed in his heart, he had a premonition that this Yue Fei might become a serious problem for the Xiongnu in the future.
When King Yougu Li heard this, he smiled indifferently and said: "Chanyu, look at the number of defenders at Yanmen Gate closed, there are a lot less than before, and the combat power of the soldiers is obviously much weaker than before." p>
"Are you saying that the Yanmen Army suffered a lot of casualties in the previous war, and now the defenders at Yanmen Pass are mostly exhausted?" Yufro said in surprise.
"That's right, the Yanmen Army can survive. It just depends on the support of Zhang Liao and other generals on the tower. As long as they are there, it will be difficult for the soldiers who board the tower to stand. But they will always get tired. As long as we continue to
If we attack the city, we will be able to capture Yanmen Pass sooner or later." King Youguli said confidently, as if everything was under his control.
"It makes sense." Yu Fulo nodded, and after a moment of reflection, he shouted: "Send the order, let all Jinglan troops attack, and be sure to capture Yanmen Pass before dark."
When Humphrey's eyes passed over the dozens of slowly moving towers in the rear formation, the murderous intent in his eyes couldn't help but become more intense.
Although God gave Qin Hao three days of preparation time, the Huns were not idle during these three days, but were rushing to make the siege weapon, the well lantern.
"Roar..."
Almost as soon as the two infantry phalanxes launched their charge, neat and bright trumpets sounded from the rear formation of the Huns. Along with the rhythmic trumpets, dozens of towering towers began to slowly move forward. p>
Huchuquan, who was commanding the siege from the front, looked back leisurely after hearing the movement from behind. When his eyes passed by the dozens of high platforms, a ferocious sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I want to see how you will respond this time." Hu Chuquan sneered and murmured.
Temujin was the first to propose the use of well sieves in siege warfare, in order to reduce siege losses and increase siege confidence.
The Xiongnu did not have the technology of the Han people, nor did they have production drawings. The craftsmen were all slaves forcibly captured from the Han people. Therefore, the manufacturing of the Xiongnu wells was all figured out by Temujin alone, and the production was very rough.
.
Although the production is rough, the well is a well and can still cause casualties to the Yanmen Army.
"Woo..."
Suddenly, a loud chant sounded outside the city, and under the cover of the infantry, dozens of towering towers were erected like ghosts from the rear of the Huns.
The sea of fire burning under the city illuminated Yue Fei's strong body, which was as majestic as a mountain. Yue Fei looked up and saw a huge figure approaching the height of the city wall, slowly approaching the head of Yanmen Pass like a giant beast.
Yue Fei's eyes suddenly shrank, that's Jinglan!
Jinglan is a mobile archery tower with archers standing on it, who can shoot at the archers defending the city. It is a siege weapon that can attack enemy troops on the city wall.
The Jinglan itself is not scary. What is scary is that under the cover of the Jinglan, the foot and bow coordinate to attack the city.
Due to the suppression of Jinglan, the defenders will pay an extremely heavy price when resisting the enemy's siege.
Now the Huns have sent more than twenty Jing Lans, with fifty archers on each platform. There are at least more than two thousand archers in these twenty planes. The more than two thousand archers are definitely a threat to the Yanmen defenders.
Fatal.
Thousands of elite soldiers dragged dozens of wells and finally approached the city wall. The archers guarding the city wall tried their best to shoot, but they were unable to stop the advance of the wells.
Yue Fei quickly ordered an end to this ineffective and wasteful resistance with arrows.
The Hun archers were all hiding behind the well shield, making it extremely difficult for the soldiers to shoot.
"Drink~~"
Accompanied by a long and bright howl, the slowly creeping Jinglan formation came to an abrupt halt. The two thousand infantrymen who followed quickly crossed the Jinglan and set up a solid defensive shield wall in front of the formation.
At this time, the well lanterns were only thirty steps away from the Yanmenguan city wall. As long as they were a little further forward, the kerosene cans thrown by the defenders would be able to reach these well lanterns.
As long as the cans of fire oil can be thrown onto the well railing, the defenders can imitate the offensive and defensive duel between Mozi and Gongshu and burn down the well railing with fire attacks.
Unfortunately, Huchuquan had obviously been prepared for this, and with just such a small distance, it was difficult for the defensive fire attack to be effective.
Before, Temujin also used this method to force Qin Liangyu to go out of the city and destroy the well. Now Huchuquan used the same method to force Yue Fei.
Huchuquan wanted to see if Yue Fei had the guts to go out of the city and destroy the well. If Yue Fei really left the city, Huchuquan would immediately command the army to surround and kill him. If he didn't come out, with huge casualties, it would be a matter of time before he could break through.
Anyway, the ending is still the same.
Glancing at the more than twenty wells that were thirty steps away from the city wall, Yue Fei flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and murmured to himself! "Huchuquan, if you want to repeat the same trick, you have made the wrong calculation.
I, Yue Fei, am not Miss Qin Suzhen."
"Come here, bring up the special fire oil tank quickly." Yue Fei shouted to the left and right.
Soon nearly a hundred jars of fire oil were piled in front of Yue Fei's eyes. Seeing how efficiently his men were working, Yue Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Stepping forward, he picked up a jar and lit it on fire. Yue Fei turned back to Qin Yong and Shan Xiongxin and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, Brother Shan, aren't you very free? Do you dare to compete with Yue Fei?"
"Interesting." Qin Yong laughed.
When Shan Xiongxin saw that Yue Fei was commanding the army to defend the city, he still had time to joke. After a moment of reflection, his eyes flashed and he said with a faint smile: "What do you want to compare with, Brother Yue?"
