War drums sounded, horns shook the ground, gongs and drums were beaten, bells were struck, and the soldiers shouted for death in unison. If you heard it from a distance, it would clearly look like a large army attacking the city.
But in fact, this is just a play that has been rehearsed for a long time.
As expected, there was chaos again at the top of the city. Since the top of the city was bright and it was dark here, Duan Ye could vaguely see the silhouettes of people on the other side looking forward to it. It was obvious that the soldiers were in their respective positions, and the generals were supervising the battle with weapons and crossbows rolling wood.
The stones were put in place one after another. Unfortunately, they were destined to make useless efforts.
Song Hao was furious in the city. Didn't he know that this was the enemy's strategy to tire out his troops? Looking at it, there were not many people in the vast wilderness. The enemy just sent hundreds of people to create trouble there. Jiuquan
The location of the city is open and vast as far as the eye can see, but just like this, when they are making trouble under the city, the noise can be heard in the city. Doesn't this allow people to sleep?
Of course, some people will ask Duan Ye if this will not affect his own people!? Of course not. First of all, the location of Waze is complex and the terrain has been tested. The sound will be greatly attenuated here, and preparations have been made in advance.
Even with earplugs, I can still sleep soundly.
At this time, Song Hao was tested. He had almost worn half of the armor, but in the end, he took it off angrily.
There was no other way. He was defending the city. He only had to ensure that the enemy did not enter the city, and he would win. With more than 100,000 women and children in Jiuquan behind him, he could only choose to be conservative.
If he wins, he will just win this small team, but if he loses, he will lose everything!
"Send the order! Divide the three battalions at the top of the city into three groups and patrol in turn. Each group will have an hour. The other groups will seize the time to sleep. Strictly guard the city gate and no fighting is allowed." Song Hao ordered angrily.
"grown ups……"
"Execute the order!" Song Hao closed his eyes in pain. He knew that if he didn't leave the city tonight, it would be like Xiao Nuozi's death in vain! However, he had no choice.
Who knows, they are all poor people in troubled times.
Duan Ye and others, after a moment of commotion, immediately took a break. Except for the cavalry on guard, the others quickly took the opportunity to take a break. Fortunately, the people Duan Ye selected were all real people and fully trusted Duan Ye. The general said there was no problem, so then
Slept very soundly!
Then, as if on a regular basis, Duan Ye and the others started making noise every half an hour, beating drums and shouting, galloping horses, doing whatever they wanted. Although Jiuquan City had been prepared for it, they were still so noisy that they could not sleep peacefully.
.
Unknowingly, it was going to be dawn soon. Duan Ye and others had been struggling for several times. The soldiers at the top of Jiuquan City must have been tired. This time, Duan Ye woke everyone up and said in a deep voice: "Everyone,
After so many fake games, we’re going to do it for real!”
"Everything follows the general's orders!"
"Okay!" Duan Ye clenched his fist, "According to the original plan, dismantle all these tents, tear the cloth into pieces, chop the wood into pieces, let's get started!"
The 500 people selected were all people with strong execution ability. Soon, the original mini camp turned into a pile of scraps, but it was not finished. Duan Ye wanted to use these scraps to give Jiuquan City a big surprise.
!
Different from the previous times when he sent dozens of people to swagger and clamor outside the city, this time Duan Ye brought all 500 people with him, but they all stopped and secretly came over without making any noise.
Horses have pegs in their mouths, and people have sticks in their mouths. Since the details have been explained in detail before, Duan Ye is confident in their execution ability! Therefore, there is no need for other instructions. It is too late to talk about it when they get to the ground.
Jiuquan City was quiet for a while, and the soldiers at the head of the city leaned tiredly on the antlers, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to cry for a while. Previously, Duan Ye and others were causing trouble quite regularly, about once every half an hour, with nothing more than the sound of gongs and drums, and occasionally
Send a few people to shoot arrows at the top of the city. This time they just finished having a cup of tea, so they should be able to rest for a while.
Besides, it will be daybreak soon, and then it will be clear what is real and what is not true. If the traitor Lu has few soldiers and goes out of the city to kill him even though he disobeys the military order, then I will settle the accounts with you and avenge the little Nuozi by the way.
Unfortunately, God was not kind. Just when many people closed their eyes and were about to have some light sleep, they suddenly heard a dense "whoosh" sound. Everyone present was a veteran and knew what it meant!
Bow and arrow!
Unfortunately, when they opened their eyes, countless rockets had already flown into the city like a handful of flowers scattered by a goddess. Unfortunately, for the convenience of supply, there were a lot of flammable baggage piled here. When the rockets fell, they burned instantly, and the city was destroyed.
His head soon burst into flames.
This was not over yet, they unexpectedly discovered that a fire was burning in the Ximen City Gate!
It turned out that the tents, wood, etc. that had just been dismantled were piled into the city gate. Duan Ye had just taken a big risk. No matter how quiet the sound of the horse's hooves was, it could not be completely concealed. After Duan Ye launched the rocket and the distance was about the same,
He simply ordered to dismount, and more than a hundred people quietly reached the city gate with wooden tents and cloth. At the same time, others continued to ride their horses to attract attention. When the fuel materials were placed, they gave the order to light the fire.
As for why the fire became so big so quickly, it's very simple. Duan Ye was surprised to find that there is an oil field in Dunhuang County! Yes, it is an oil field, and it is shallow. As soon as a well is dug and water is injected, the oil will flow.
Going outside, the local indigenous people have been using this oil to cook rice for many years.
With oil, there is a foundation for chemical industry. Duan Ye has regarded this area as his own private land, so he is naturally ecstatic, but now, it is more like a weapon! It was easy for everyone to bring a bowl.
Then he poured it concentratedly onto the wood piled at the city gate, and then raised the fire, and suddenly the fire shot into the sky!
Of course, there is another advantage to doing this. If there is a fire at the city gate, in a short period of time, even if the cavalry in the city wants to look for bad luck, they will not be able to get out for a while. Duan Ye can naturally retreat calmly!
When the fire at the top of the city was barely controlled, Song Hao, who had heard the news, had already rushed to the top of the city. He didn't sleep at all that night. He turned over several times on the bedside, then sat down by the window to look at the sky in depression.
Wang's attempts to comfort him were of no use. At that moment, the city suddenly caught fire. Song Hao, who was anxious and furious, saw that it was almost dawn, so he didn't want to stay in the house anymore and hurried to the city.
As a result, everything in front of him made Song Hao dumbfounded. His subordinates reported that the thieves had been making trouble all night, and most of them didn't sleep well. A rocket salvo just now injured three people. In addition, a group of people piled up at the top of the city
The firewood was burned, and the city gate was blocked by fire caused by the wood and cloth placed by the enemy, making it impossible to pursue them for the time being.
At this moment, on the eastern horizon, the sun struggled for a long time and finally climbed up unbearably. Suddenly the sky was bright. In the distance, the soldiers and civilians at the head of Jiuquan City could clearly see hundreds of cavalry walking leisurely northwest.
