Although the Wancheng garrison at the bottom of the city was carrying a shield, they saw that there was no Yaksha at the top of the city, and they subconsciously relaxed their vigilance, thinking that they were just attacking the city and taking revenge.
But who would have thought...
What fell from the sky was not a yakshasa, nor a pot of fire oil, nor cornel powder, but pots and pots of boiling golden liquid, large in quantity, full of flavor, and high in temperature.
Some of the Wancheng defenders below the city were caught off guard and were poured from head to toe. The hot golden juice penetrated their armor, soaked into their single clothes, and touched their skin. A burning tingling sensation quickly spread throughout their bodies, and their bodies began to riot uncontrollably.
.
Some soldiers were relatively cautious and kept their shields on their bodies.
but......
The golden juice fell from the sky, hit the shield, and splashed around, causing damage to a wider range. Most of the soldiers coming from the rear were burned, and they were dying of pain and kept wailing.
Although some soldiers were carrying shields, they were overturned by the huge impact of the golden juice. Not only did they splash to the surrounding soldiers and horses, but they also suffered a wave of ultra-high temperature golden juice damage.
riot!
There was a riot in an instant!
Wail!
Howling hoarsely!
Niu Fu froze on the spot like a thunderbolt, his eyes nearly bursting out.
He really couldn't believe that King Hongnong, who was an ignorant young man just a few months ago, was now so mature. Not only was he mentally mature, but he was also proficient in the art of war and had a good plan.
A little bit of temper.
It had only been one day, but he had actually used magic weapons, fire oil, dogwood powder, and golden juice excrement tactics in front of him. Such a defensive strategy, I am afraid that even the prime minister's tent could not pick out a few people.
Niu Fu was so angry that his teeth itched, and the hatred in his heart became even stronger!
Zhang Zi, who was on the side, was also shocked and his scalp was numb, and his back was chilled. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "General, the other side has changed its defensive strategy. Should we temporarily withdraw our troops and make other plans?"
"withdraw troops?"
The anger in Niu Fu's heart surged into his throat, and he glared at Zhang Zi fiercely: "Did you forget what I just said, the general, that you must capture Wubao on this day?"
"this......"
How dare Zhang Zi disobey the angry Niu Fu?
As a last resort, he could only retreat quietly and remain silent.
Niu Fu let out a long sigh and said with a wave of anger: "The golden juice needs to be boiled before it can be used. It is only for this round. Why should I be afraid? Let the injured soldiers and horses in front retreat and replace them with a new group of people.
!”
Zhang Zi felt that this made sense and bowed his head: "No."
Immediately.
He told Lieutenant Jiang: "Act as ordered."
Although Lieutenant Jiang was reluctant to give up, he could only obey the order: "The front army will retreat, the rear army will make up for it, and we will continue to attack the city. You should not be afraid. This attack will only last one round. If you take Wubao, you will be rewarded heavily!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the front army reluctantly retreated, while the rear army forced itself to make up for it, and the siege continued.
Liu Bian stared at the scene in front of him and felt indignant in his heart: "Damn Niu Fu, it's not over yet. He won't stop even though he's still attacking Wubao? Is he going crazy?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors also felt strange: "Master Bian, there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Niu Fu is definitely not an irrational general. This can be seen from the fact that he withdrew his troops in time yesterday to preserve his strength."
"According to expert analysis, there are two possibilities for him to do this!"
"The first option is to use the Wancheng defenders as cannon fodder and consume their strength to achieve the purpose of capturing Wubao. However, this possibility needs to be discussed. After all, Zhang Zi has not strongly opposed it, which is a bit abnormal.
"
Liu Bianshen nodded in agreement: "What about the second one?"
The Military Advisor Alliance replied: "As for the second possibility, there should be a huge conspiracy hidden under this abnormal behavior. This behavior is just a cover-up."
Liu Bian was curious and asked tentatively: "Conspiracy?"
The Military Advisor Alliance replied: "Well, don't worry, Mr. Bian. Military experts are always paying attention to the battlefield. If there is any discovery, they will remind Mr. Bian to make arrangements in advance."
Liu Bian naturally believed in the capabilities of military experts: "Yes, I understand."
As expected.
The next attack.
The defenders of Wancheng became more fierce and stormed Wubao again and again.
Army Sima Zhang Zhen calmly commanded, and bows, arrows, yaksha, and kerosene took turns to go into battle.
The two generals He Yun and Deng Zhan were each responsible for one end of the city, and the defense was quite tight. Occasionally, a round of golden juice was given to kill the Wancheng defenders and they were never able to attack the city.
Just when the battle situation was at its most tense.
suddenly.
The guard beside him raised his hand and pointed to the sky: "Your Highness, look, what is that?"
Liu Bian raised his eyes to look at the sky, and a puff of black smoke floated from the distance: "Where is the fire?"
When Liu Bianzheng was confused, the military advisor alliance reminded: "Master Bian, this smoke is not dispersed by the wind. It is obviously not ordinary thick smoke, but a warning smoke. If you guessed correctly, Zhang Liao should have attacked Zengguan."
"ah?"
Liu Bian was surprised: "Did Zhang Liao really attack Zengguan?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors was very sure: "It must be, otherwise why would this smoke come here? The signals transmitted bit by bit by the defenders on the Chu Great Wall are enough to prove this."
Liu Bian was very happy: "Great, Niu Fu will definitely withdraw his troops this time."
However, the Military Advisor Alliance poured cold water on him: "Master Bian, don't be too happy too early. Niu Fu has a reason to kill you, especially now, when he is about to capture Wubao, how can he retreat without fighting?"
"this......"
Liu Bian was hesitant.
After all, the Alliance of Military Advisors made sense: "But if Niu Fu doesn't retreat, what if Zhuang Pass is lost?"
The alliance of military advisors said without hesitation: "If Zhuanguan is captured, it will be lost. As long as we can eliminate you, these troops will lose their backbone and will be disbanded sooner or later. If Niu Fu does not retreat, it proves that there must be a conspiracy in today's strong attack."
Liu Bian nodded slowly: "Yes, that's the truth."
He raised his eyes and looked at Niu Fu outside Wubao.
But see...
The opponent sat firmly on his horse, and Zhang Zizheng beside him did not know what to advise.
Niu Fu raised his head and glanced at the smoke in the sky, frowned, and said angrily: "Damn it, if you don't attack early, you won't attack later, but you attack at this time. Could it be that they agreed upon it?"
Zhang Zi bowed his head and said: "General, if Zhuang Pass is lost, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Before Zhang Zi could finish speaking, Niu Fu interrupted directly: "I am waiting here to eliminate this traitor. It doesn't matter if the Pass is lost or not. Besides, they only have 2,000 people. Whether they can capture the Pass is still unclear.
Definitely."
Although there are only 400 Xiliang elites in Zhuanguan, Niu Fu knows Li Jue's strength well. With the advantage of city defense and location, he may be able to hold on for a day or two. As long as the night attack is successful, King Hongnong will be killed and he can return to fight.
It's not too late.
"Send the order to the whole army!"
Niu Fu completely ignored Zhang Zi's advice and gave a sonorous order: "Intensify the attack and don't let the traitors have any chance to breathe. We must capture Wubao today without making any mistakes."
Zhang Zi suddenly felt as if he was having sex with an immortal.
He was going to be tortured to death by Niu Fu's madness.
Regardless of the sacrifice, this time he didn't even care about Zhuan Pass.
In order to kill King Hongnong, you have gone crazy. Even if you don't kill him now, will he still be able to escape if you come again in a few days?
