() The Xixia soldiers who rushed forward later brought simple long ladders. They rarely climbed high to attack the city, but now they were clumsily climbing up the wall of the stronghold. Without the threat of bows and arrows, they did not pay attention to the Song army at all.
The Song army on the wall picked up the stones prepared on the wall and smashed them down with all their strength. They were in a hurry, and there were not many stones prepared. Moreover, every time they tried to hit the rocks, they were grabbed by sharp claws and pulled down.
The danger of the stronghold wall could not stop the Xia army's offensive at all.
"Commander Ge, use kerosene, we can't stop him." A guard rushed to Ge Huaimin and shouted.
Ge Huaimin stretched out his foot and kicked a ladder away from the wall. The three or four Xia troops on top of it, together with the ladder, fell over and fell into the crowd. Ge Huaimin cursed and looked up, only to see that several places on the wall had been damaged.
After being broken through, Xia soldiers climbed up the wall of the village from time to time and fought with the Song army. It would not be possible to hold on for a while.
"Okay, give the order, go down, light the kerosene bottles and throw them into the crowd, burning these scoundrels to death." Ge Huaimin shouted, and he waved the long sword in his hand and cut a Xia Jun helmet in two.
Half.
The guard received the order and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Commander Ge has given the order, use the ignition oil bottle and smash it down to burn these bastards to death."
The Song soldiers on the top of the city were greatly excited after hearing this. They took out small earthen jars from the holes on the inside of the wall like magic. The jars were covered with cloth strips soaked in kerosene and placed on the torches.
He picked up his hands and smashed them down on the wall of the village. The earthen jar hit Xia Bing's helmet and armor, smashing it into pieces. The kerosene inside splashed everywhere, and it burned rapidly when it encountered fire; the kerosene jar
Although the quantity was small, the kerosene would burn brightly even if it had a few drops on it. In a moment, bright flames broke out on the bodies of Xia Bing, who was crowded below.
First, nests of flames ignited, and then they spread to each other like a plague, and soon they burned into one piece. The soldiers of the Xia Army ran away in panic and screamed, some fought against the flames that sprang up on their bodies, and some
They fell to the ground and rolled around, some crying and running into the crowd, hoping that others could help them put out the fire.
The soldiers of the Xia Army who were not burned hurriedly dodge. When they saw the people covered with fire rushing towards them, they kicked them away without thinking, and some even directly slashed to kill them; it was easier to deal with people on fire, as war horses
Catching fire immediately became a nightmare for the Xia soldiers. Dozens of war horses were covered in fire, running around and trampling indiscriminately, trampling to death and injuring people. What was even more terrifying was that they would quickly spread the fire to other people and horses.
From the time when the fire oil cans were thrown to the sea of fire under the village wall, in just a short time of tea, the soldiers of the Xia army who were in full swing around the village wall had already fallen into purgatory. The bodies of hundreds of people were burning, and hundreds of horses were on fire.
With roaring flames scurrying everywhere, hoarse screams, horses' neighing, the sizzling sound of burning flesh, and dying sighs filled the eardrums, and there was a pungent burning smell at the end of the nose.
Mixed with the disgusting aroma of meat, the heat wave carries black smoke, which goes straight into the nostrils and into the lungs, making people almost suffocated.
Everyone on the wall was dumbfounded. Xia Jun did not expect, and Song Jun did not expect that when Ge Huaimin set out, Su Jin insisted that he bring ten sticks of kerosene and thousands of earthen jars as backup. At that time, Ge Huaimin thought
It is a burden; kerosene is useful, but the quantity is too small.
If ten sticks of fire oil were poured down directly to ignite a fire, it would have no big effect at all. But according to what Su Jin said, it was divided into fire oil cans and then dispersed, and it could actually have such a huge effect. No wonder Su Jin warned him that these
Fire oil cans are used to save lives and can only be used at critical moments. If used properly, the enemy's position will be in chaos, and it is also time to evacuate.
The fire was still spreading under the wall. The cavalrymen who rushed forward quickly turned around and ran away after seeing the tragic situation under the wall. Dozens of crazy horses on fire galloped down the hillside. The Xia army at the foot of the hillside hurriedly
He bent his bow and set an arrow to kill them on the way.
Yeli Wangrong looked at the back in stunned silence, muttering curses with a livid face. This fire burned to death and burned at least two thousand people. He saw with his own eyes Yuan Dezhong drove more than three thousand cavalry to attack, but now he is heading towards
There were at most a thousand people running back, and all of them took off their armor, some even threw away their weapons, and some even had their buttocks bare. It was obvious that the fire had spread to their bodies, so they stripped off all their armor and clothes in order to survive.
"You incompetent waste, tell Yuan De to retreat as quickly as possible and have him come to see me." Yeli Wangrong cursed through gritted teeth.
The guard cavalry quickly flew to deliver the order, and soon Yuan Dezhong, whose face was charred, was brought to Yeli Wangrong.
"Your Majesty, the Song Army is so cunning... they actually prepared such expensive materials as kerosene. If you give me one more time to burn incense, I will definitely capture this stronghold. I will..." Yuan Dezhong rolled his saddle and dismounted.
He shouted loudly.
"Give you time? More than an hour has passed, and we took the meal within the time you promised. What now? There are only less than one thousand of your four thousand cavalry left. What are you going to do to take this stronghold? Incompetence
of waste.”
"Your Majesty, it's not that you haven't seen that the Song Army seems to have been prepared for a long time. How can a small wild village be guarded by so many Song troops, let alone be equipped with kerosene... The last general was beaten.
I was just caught off guard. Please give me another chance, your Majesty..."
"You are stupider than a pig on the grassland. Why don't you find out the situation before the war? A small Dingchuan village will not be that difficult to conquer even with copper walls and iron walls. In the final analysis, it is your incompetence. Come on! Kill this incompetence
He was dragged aside and whipped for eighty years, stripped of all official positions and demoted to an ordinary soldier."
Yuan Dezhong exclaimed: "No, Your Majesty, for the sake of the general who has followed you for many years, and for the sake of the general who is loyal to you, the general will have hard work without merit. Your Majesty, you can't do this to the general."
Ah." He exclaimed as he knelt up, hugged Yeli Wangrong's calf and shook it.
Yeli Wangrong raised his foot and kicked him over and cursed: "You are still talking to this king about friendship. Let me tell you, if you hadn't had merit in the past, how could you have received such a light punishment? You lost the first battle and severely dampened the spirit of our army."
, I should have beheaded you immediately, if you keep yelling, don’t blame me for being rude to you."
Yuan Dezhong sobbed and got up and cried loudly on the ground. He wanted to get the first credit, but unexpectedly his cleverness was mistaken. He didn't get the first credit but was beaten to the end. It took him so many years to become a deputy general, and all was lost in an instant.
It was destroyed today.
"Don't cry, General Yuan. Why don't you thank the king for your kindness? You really, since you don't have the ability, you might as well stay on your own, but you want to be the first to show off. What's the result?" Someone didn't know whether it was to persuade or to gloat.
Yeli Wangrong said: "General Tuoba Qingshou, take your headquarters to capture this stronghold. If something goes wrong, I will chop off your head to show the public."
A bearded and bald general rode his horse forward and shouted: "General, I will obey your orders and we will definitely capture this stronghold in one fell swoop."
Yeli Wangrong said calmly: "The Song army's arrows and strength have been exhausted in the previous campaign. If you can't take it again, you don't have to come back. You can just die in front of the battle or kill yourself."
Tuoba Qingshou shouted loudly and accepted the order. It was pitiful that Yuan Dezhong was making wedding clothes for others, and was pulled aside by his bodyguards to strip off his clothes and start whipping him. He was shocked, angry and furious, and he fainted after only twenty whips.
I don’t know the personnel.
Xia Jun finally retreated, and there was a mess under the wall of Dingchuan Village. The steaming corpses twitched and trembled from time to time, and the burnt black shells peeled off, revealing the red cooked meat inside. It was shocking to see.
People are nauseated.
The soldiers of the Song Army had no time to take care of this. They all collapsed on the top of the wall to catch their breath. Two and a half of the three souls were lost. The Xia Army just used a hook to attack the city and killed the Song Army on the wall.
More than 400 people, and dozens more were killed by the Xia army who stormed the wall, and the casualties reached nearly 30%; this was still under the situation of occupying the terrain from a high position, if there was no kerosene to help, most of them would have been killed and injured by now.
Well, Song Jun was obviously no match for Xia Jun in hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing a group of five or six thousand cavalry at the foot of the mountain advancing, it was obvious that the Xixia Army was organizing a new round of attack. Now there is no more kerosene, no bows and arrows, and no stones on the wall.
The wall is not strong enough to defend, so maybe it’s time to evacuate.
