"Li Xiaotian, bring kerosene over here and burn these corpses for me! I want to see if these Mohe cavalry are made of stone and cannot be burned by fire?" Xue Lei looked at the Mohe cavalry charging forward without fear of death.
He came over and shouted sharply.
Li Xiaotian, the captain of Zhiguo School, immediately led people carrying kerosene and ran to behind the horse-rejecting formations on both sides of the passage. They threw or rolled them all into the passage and on top of the corpses.
"Crossbow! Shoot through the barrel!"
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
This time the target of the crossbow was not the Mohe cavalry, but the kerosene barrels everywhere.
"Gurgling..." Liquid flowed out of the broken wooden barrel.
"Throw the torch!" Xue Lei ordered loudly with a crazy smile.
"boom……"
The scorching flames rose into the sky and instantly occupied the field of vision of Sergeant Long Xiang. A heat wave spread out in all directions and hit the faces of the surrounding soldiers. The pressure of the scorching hot air made people feel as if they had swallowed something in their throats.
Boiling hot water is normal.
"Retreat!" Xue Lei shouted sternly, and hurriedly led his people to retreat behind the fire zone isolated behind the horse-rejecting formation.
"Zhizhi..."
The sound of grease being roasted began to sound. Countless Mohe cavalry who entered the entrance of the camp were caught in the flames. The horses under their crotches no longer listened to their master's orders and jumped around like headless flies, covered in flames.
Running wildly around.
"boom……"
More than a dozen fire horses suddenly bumped into Ju Ma, and were deeply pierced by Ju Ma. The knight on the horse was also thrown away. The red blood and red fire made it difficult to tell who fell to the ground.
What happened? Countless Mohe cavalrymen who were also on fire rushed to the back and collided with the cavalrymen rushing from behind. People screamed, horses whined, and the flames passed to each other and burned.
"What a fierce fire! Now, these Mohe cavalry will become roasted suckling pigs. Fortunately, there is a fire trench behind, otherwise..." Zhiguo Colonel Zhang Ju looked at the raging fire with lingering fear.
said.
"Vomit..." I don't know who it was. When I heard Zhang Ju talking about roasted suckling pig, my heart suddenly started to churn. Coupled with the aroma of meat floating around, I couldn't bear it anymore and vomited out. It was better now, a
One after another, they all vomited. Fortunately, the Mohe cavalry could not attack, otherwise Longxiang's army would definitely be defeated with one blow.
"What's wrong with you? This smell reminds me of barbecued bacon!" Zhang Ju said deliberately, suppressing the discomfort in his stomach.
"Ugh..." Xue Lei, who had just stood up, suddenly leaned down.
The fire that filled the sky completely blocked the path of the Mohe cavalry, and the Mohe camp a few miles away also sounded the horn to withdraw.
"Huh... we finally withdrew. I don't know why the Mohe people are so crazy, so brave and unafraid of death. Everyone put out the fire in the camp quickly, and don't let the fire burn down the camp walls." Xue Lei was not angry.
He glared at Zhang Ju who was deliberately causing trouble and quickly ordered.
Opposite the Longxiang army camp, there must be a huge tent in the Mohe people camp. There was no sound in the tent. Sitting high in the main seat was a middle-aged man who was not tall and had a light beard on his chin. Although
He looked more like an ordinary scholar from the Yan Kingdom, but no one in the big tent dared to look down upon him.
When he came out, three dejected men were kneeling in the center of the tent. This man was Chi Shu, the eldest prince of the Mohe Bodu tribe. Chi Shu stayed in Yingzhou for two years, and then returned to the tribe and quickly gathered a force.
, competing with the second prince and the third prince who was very popular with the old leader of the tribe, and his methods were ruthless and extremely cruel to the enemy.
While Chi Shu was playing with the jade cup he got from Yanzhou in his hand, he said softly: "How is it? How is the battle situation? Have you entered the Longxiang Army camp? How is the performance of the Death Slave Camp?"
The leader of the audience, a captain of thousands, bowed and said: "Returning to the eldest prince, the five thousand soldiers of the Death Slave Camp failed to enter the Longxiang Army camp, but the performance of the Death Slave Camp was acceptable, and everyone was not afraid of death! It's a pity that in Longxiang Army,
The entrance to Xiangjun's camp was blocked by fire."
"Oh? Your performance is acceptable? Youhan, you rarely speak up for someone, why are you an exception today?" Chi Shu said unmoved.
A trace of regret flashed in Mao Han's eyes, and he replied slowly: "Back to the eldest prince, these soldiers from the death slave camp have indeed performed well. Although they have made big mistakes, they are also warriors of our Mohe people. Why don't the eldest prince spare one of them?"
Where's your life?"
"Do you feel sorry for them? Heartbroken?" A smile suddenly appeared on Chi Shu's face, but all the captains behind Mao Han shrank in their hearts. The eldest prince was also calm. The more dangerous it was, the more dangerous it was. They all secretly felt sorry for Mao Han.
A cold sweat.
Mo Han still said calmly: "Yes, I do feel sorry for them. They are all my Mohe warriors, but now they died in vain under the enemy's crossbows. Prince, why don't you forgive them and let them
If you are used by the eldest prince to attack the city, you will definitely die for the eldest prince."
Chi Shu ignored Mo Han's request and turned to the three people kneeling in the middle and said: "Ya Tuo, Ku Yan, Habul, why are only the three of you back? Where are the two of them?"
Habur replied in a low voice: "Both Yanshan and Jiha have died in the battle!"
"Died in battle? What about the damage this time?"
"Of more than five thousand people, only half came back, and half of them were injured!"
"Do you three know your mistake?" Chi Shu raised his eyes when he heard what Habul said, and asked calmly.
"We realize our mistake, and hope that the eldest prince will take pity on our subordinates, who are also from the Mohe clan, and spare them." Habul immediately knelt on the ground and said in a mournful voice.
"If you don't listen to my prince's orders, this will be your fate! There are never too many dead slaves in my camp. Everyone, please remember this. Habul, today, although you did not capture the Longxiang Army camp, you fought very hard.
Brave, I can forgive you for your previous disrespect.
Sin. But the death penalty can be forgiven and the living crime cannot be escaped. The three of you will each give 30% of the men, cattle and sheep of your respective tribes and reward them to the soldiers. As for the two tribes of Yanshan and Jiha, since the leader is dead, then return
I am the prince, do you three have any opinions?"
When Habul heard this, his face was miserable. How could he dare to say anything? He didn't see that the generals around him were all happy. After getting the benefit, he naturally wouldn't speak for himself, and might even add insult to injury. He had to say quickly:
"I will obey the eldest prince's orders in everything. I...I have no objection."
The corners of Chi Shu's mouth raised and he laughed and said: "Okay, very good! The Huolin Army's camp has lost food and fodder. They can't delay it for long. After a few days, they will definitely kill him and leave no trace of his armor behind."
Longxiang Army Camp.
"How's it going? How's the loss?" Xue Lei sat on the main seat and asked repeatedly.
"Five hundred and thirty heavy infantrymen were killed and 200 were seriously injured, while the rest were lightly wounded; more than 200 sword and shield soldiers and spearmen were killed and more than a thousand were wounded; archers... more than 800 archers were killed,
More than 300 people were slightly injured. 150,000 arrows were lost, 80,000 were recovered, and the rest were no longer usable. More than 50 barrels of kerosene were consumed, and we didn’t have much left. Camp camp
More than a hundred meters were damaged and needed immediate repairs. The camp lost more than thirty tents, but we have backup supplies, so we are not short of them for the time being. Fortunately, the Mohe cavalry only opened a gap less than a hundred meters wide. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Today,
Judging from the state of the Mohe cavalry, it is difficult for us to withstand the charge of nearly 20,000 Mohe people." said the secretary in charge of statistics.
Xue Lei rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Now let the uninjured soldiers bury the soldiers' bodies immediately, and do not leave them in the same place; secondly, immediately strengthen the depth and solidity of the camps in various places; thirdly, immediately remove the cliffs
Outside that side and outside the other three sides, dig horse traps, set up horse formations, and prepare for defense."
Lin Haoyu frowned and said: "All of these can be done now, but how should we get the food and grass that we are in short supply?"
When Xue Lei heard this, his head was pounding. After thinking hard for a while, he had no choice but to say: "Don't worry for now, there are still five days of food and grass in the camp. We are only a hundred meters away from Yanzhou City."
It is more than fifty miles away and can be reached in one day. Even if we transport food, it can be reached in two days. We will have it by then."
"Sir! Since the Mohe people can surround us, wouldn't Yanzhou City..." Zhiguo Colonel Zhang Ju said with a wry smile.
"That's right! Even Longxiang's army is besieged, so how can Yanzhou City ignore it? The Mohe people are not that stupid. Maybe they have already begun to attack Yanzhou City, and maybe they even captured it." Everyone said nothing.
think.
Xue Lei saw everyone's faces changing wildly and knew what everyone was thinking. He glared at Zhang Ju angrily and said quickly: "Okay, everyone doesn't have to worry about Yanzhou City being guarded by tall walls and more than ten thousand soldiers.
Available anytime, anywhere
If we recruit tens of thousands more young men, it won't be easy for the Mohe people to capture Yanzhou City. As for the food and grass issue, I think there should be a way to deal with the problem of having so many people in Yanzhou City. If it doesn't work, they should be able to take over.
We withdraw to Yanzhou City."
When Zhang Ju saw Xue Lei glaring at him, he knew that his words had affected everyone's morale, and he quickly said: "Well, General, what you said makes sense. Last time, wasn't he called the Fire Lin Army? He led his men to kill them all."
Qian Mohe people, with warriors like them here, Yanzhou City is as solid as a mountain. We should repair the camp and resist the attack of the Mohe people first before we can consider rescue."
After the generals left their duty, Guidelang general Zhang Meng asked as if talking to himself: "The city of Yanzhou is really as solid as a mountain. Can we really wait for reinforcements?"
Xue Lei beside him also said to himself: "I don't know whether Yanzhou City can be defended, and I don't know whether reinforcements can come. But as a member of the Longxiang Army, if you die in battle, you will be worthy of the national court.
, I am worthy of the common people, why should I fear death?" After saying that, he walked straight out.
Looking at Xue Lei's straight back, Zhang Meng felt something. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Yes! I am worthy of the country and the court, and I am worthy of the people of Li. But in the middle, I am sorry for my wife, children and children! That's all! Shijun
The only way to be loyal to the emperor is to die, so what do I, Zhang Meng, have to fear?" After saying that, he walked out with a smile.
