Many years ago, Ren Hong once told Fu Jiezi that Akita City should not be called a city."
It's more appropriate to call it Chigu Village."
A small wooden village with a circumference of only three or four Han Li, but it is the only city in the entire Wusun Xingguo, and more than 4,000 people in it, relying on this not very strong village, resisted the attack of the 40,000 mad king army for two whole days.After the siege was over, Akiti Castle was covered with bruises, and the wooden walls on the east, south, and north sides were full of arrows, but there were also more than a thousand mad kings' troops who died under the city, lying in deep ravines.Even if they were lucky enough to reach the top, the Han soldiers would push the enemy down the two-zhang city in a variety of ways: crossbow machines, spears, and even tooth fists after scuffling together.The moth was useless, so they stormed the city gate instead, and the mad king's army rushed towards the city gate with a dense barrage of crossbow arrows, carrying large wooden stakes and felling iron axes, and from time to time rolling wood and stones fell on their heads, smashing their heads and bleeding.A pot of boiling water scalded a herdsman who was charging forward with a bloody blister, and he fell to the ground screaming, his face full of thick beards, like a pig waiting to be shaved.But after paying countless casualties and finally splitting the door, she found that the inside was completely blocked by bricks and stones, and she couldn't enter at all.Late at night on the second day of the siege, the Mad King lost patience, and he listened to the words of a witch and asked his troops to go to the woodlands around Atami to pick up dead branches.After transporting it back, it was distributed to the cavalry, and each horse was loaded with some, and without torches in the night, Pegasus approached the southeast corner of Akaya Castle, and then threw it out with great force.Or a cart is pushed by a person, directly over the ravine filled with corpses and earth, and the cart is left under the wooden wall with dead wood.The people in the city have seen the mad king's intentions, and he wants to burn the city!
The Han army's bows and crossbows never stopped, but the hit rate was greatly reduced in the dark night.And the bow drawers of the Mad King's army are also constantly using the rain of arrows to prevent them from counterattacking, without paying attention to aim, only pulling the Scythian bow that bends like a snake to the limit and throwing it out with maximum force, the range has exceeded that of ordinary crossbows.Although the Han army had armor and shields, there were still many people hanging colors, and even Fu Jiezi was hit by an arrow, and the long arrow almost pierced his entire left arm!
But Fu Jiezi only broke the arrow feather, and after stopping the bleeding, he refused Chang Hui's plea to supervise the battle on his behalf, and was still on the front line.The cloth to bandage and stop the bleeding was not enough, and Princess Xie Wu cut all her precious and beautiful clothes into long strips.She also pulled up her long hair, took Madame Feng and the maidservants to bring food to the soldiers who had no time to leave the city, walked through the wounded who were constantly being carried down, assisted the doctors to treat their wounds, and tried to take care of everyone, but her hands were covered with blood but she didn't care.Those Han soldiers who were fortunate enough to tie the strips of the princess's dress were very proud to show off to the robe, as if they had been rewarded, and were carefully cared for by the princess's maids, and felt that the injury had become a good thing.As the saying goes, after paying more than 100 deaths, the Mad King Army really used this stupid method of "everyone collecting firewood" to pile up a large pile of firewood and grass in the southeast corner of Chigu City.This move made the Han people at the head of the city look at each other, and Feng Fengshi couldn't help but scold: "Instead of spending this effort, can't the pile of soil and mountains directly attack the city?"
”Zheng Ji said a little funny joke: "Brother Feng, I'm really sorry, they won't." ”Although the thick wooden walls are coated with yellow mud, they have all been dried, and the wood is wood, and it will decay and collapse into charcoal after a long time.The Han army tried their best to stop it, pouring water and soil on the stacks of firewood.Sun Wan even learned what Ren Hong did on the iron gate, and had the courage to untie his belt and want to pee to pour it, if he hadn't been pulled back by Zheng Ji, he would have been hit by arrows.But in a drop in the bucket, the Mad Kings had a fierce accelerant that counteracted their efforts.The last car was pushed under the wooden city in the night, and the semi-condensed liquid slowly flowed out of the leather bag on the car, seeping into the pyre, and the Han army knew it as soon as he smelled it."
It's pine resin!"
The shores of Atami are full of pine trees, and the people of Osun often collect pine resin and rub it on bowstrings for maintenance or lighting.Today's Mad King is preparing to light a headlight that can be seen in the entire Atami Basin in Akitani!
The next shot came the arrows stained with pine resin, not only in the southeast corner, but also sporadically in the wooden walls of other places.Princess Xie Wei joined the team to fetch water from the well and pass it to the city, bucket after bucket, the containers were not enough, and even the spoon basin and the iron crest of the Han army came in handy.The sporadic fires could be extinguished, but the fires in the woodpiles outside the southeast corner were uncontrollable, and the flames, aided by pine resin, swam wildly on the dead branches, causing the firewood to burst and the hay curling, and clinging to the wooden walls like fire vines, hugging them tightly and burning together!
The injured Fu Jiezi could not lean against the wall, for the first time in several days, his face was solemn, and when it burned until dawn, the corner of the east gate would definitely be burned and decayed, and it would fall down if he pushed it, and this obstacle to the attack of the Mad King Army would no longer exist.At that time, the two thousand soldiers of the Han army had to use their own flesh and blood to form the last wall to block the attack of the mad king.Everyone has a calm face, and when the day dawns, it will be a decisive battle.But at this time, Zheng Ji, who had been looking at the wall from afar, suddenly pointed to the east and shouted: "It's on fire!"
”"We're all about to roast sheep, and we don't know if there's a fire outside?"
Sun Wan scolded and scolded, but after he also showed his head, he also showed surprise: "Fu Gong, the enemy camp is also on fire!"
”With Chang Hui's support, Fu Jiezi climbed up to the top of the city with difficulty, and the two looked into the distance, their eyes full of the reflection of flames.But this time it wasn't a fire of despair.It's the flame of hope!
Fu Jiezi and Chang Hui looked at each other, and actually laughed: "It's him." ”"That's right, it's him!"
The city was busy fighting fires, and outside the city did not forget to add firewood, and the Mad King's army was ordered to release a burst of pine resin fire arrows every once in a while, so that Akatani Castle could not be busy.The Mad King sat in the distance on a fine blanket of poppers, drinking wine and watching the great flames as if they were girls from the Western Regions dancing for themselves.The red hem of the skirt stirred up the hot wind, hot and sultry, making the mad king have an appetite, clapping his hands and laughing, the blood-like liquor sticking to the tips of his beard.But the mad king's laughter came to an abrupt end, and a nobleman who stayed in the camp came with a frightened face: "Kunmi, there is a fire in the camp!"
”Nimi looked back in amazement, and saw that a few miles away, in his huge camp, at some point, a bonfire that was even bigger than Akiti Castle had been lit!
The camp of the Mad King Army was established on the previous camp of the Yuan Gui Mi army, and only extended to the north and south, with thousands of felt tents, they were like a dome fence, stretching for nearly ten Han li, surrounding the small Chigu Castle, shaped like a curved crescent, extending from the hot sea in the northwest corner to the southeast corner.Right now, the flames were lit from the crescent tip on the northwest side of the camp, and the fire was no small.At first, the mad king thought that it was the pine resin and pine firewood of the tunchu that accidentally caught fire, and he could send someone to extinguish it, but after one scout after another came to report, he learned that the camp had been attacked!
Some people say that they thought it was a scout who had gone to the east to patrol the night and returned to the camp, but the one who took the lead was a nobleman he recognized, but he suddenly attacked and killed the camp, holding pine torches and messing around.The camp of the Wusun people was not as distinct as the Han army, but was crowded together in a haphazard manner, and did not dig fire ditches, and there were cows, sheep and horses tied in the middle of the felt tents, and they had to be milked and drunk in the morning.On weekdays, there will be chaos if you accidentally go out of fire, not to mention that today there is a group of arsonists.The northwest corner of the camp has been burned to the ground, and cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock are running around with fire, and the northwest wind is fierce, making the fire bigger and bigger.The Wusun people in the camp saw a fire on the left, and when they tried to save it, there was smoke and fire on the right, and they were flawless.For a time, the fire in the camp burst into the sky, and the shouts were shaken, and the chaos became a mess.The Mad King looked at this scene and was a little confused, the scouts kept reporting, but they couldn't say it clearly at all.How many enemies are there?
I don't know.Where did it come from?
I don't know.Is it a squad that sneaked out of the city?
But except for the west side of Akatani Castle, which is facing the water, it is so surrounded that not a single bird can fly out.Is Yuan Guimi coming back?
But he was obviously completely defeated, and he was chased by Wu Tu and ten thousand horsemen, and that weak child didn't have the courage to do so.Or did reinforcements from the Han army arrive?
The mad king thought of this possibility, and his heart trembled, the Huns didn't stop them?
Or has it already been defeated!
The only good news is that because of the night attack on Akatani, at least 30,000 horsemen were taken out by the Mad King, standing in the open space between the camp and Akatani Castle, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the camp."
Rescue and rescue?"
This idea was immediately dispelled by the mad king, although he was violent and reckless on weekdays, but he was a veteran when fighting, and the slightly drunk who had just drunk had been scared awake, and many confrontations with Kangju and Dawan made the mad king make the only right choice."
Blow the horn, let the nobles of all the tribes and the Marquis withdraw from the camp and concentrate in the southeast corner of the Red Valley, there is also a flame here, it is easy to recognize, my Crow Feather Daxu is here!"
As for being trapped in the camp and unable to withdraw, it is better to leave it alone, let them be burned and cut down by the enemy, and it is better to die thousands of people and ten thousand people than to collapse the whole army.The reinforcements of the Han army may really come, and there are more than 100,000, 50,000 or 60,000 different theories, but no matter which one it is, if the mad king enters the chaotic camp with a large army and is rushed by it, he will inevitably scatter and collapse, and he will seek his own death.The most important thing now is not to fight back, not to save the booty and the cattle, sheep and horses that are piled up in the camp, but to calm down and not panic!
But when it was suddenly attacked and the camp was burned, it was the big heart of the mad king who could still stabilize and not panic.The flames gradually spread, extending from the tip of the crescent moon to the plump abdomen, and then burning in front of the Mad King's army.Because the mad king ordered the camp to be evacuated, the Wusun people who heard the horn hurried out, allowing the enemy, who actually had only 2,000 horsemen, to run rampant in the camp.It was Hexiqu under Zhao Han'er who launched this night attack, and the Xiaoyue clan led by Wolf He, but there were only more than 2,000 people, but the progress was unexpectedly smooth.They even found the place where the Mad King's army used pine resin to make fire arrows, and immediately used it.The arrows were dipped in half-solidified pine resin, and a person with a number of straps lit on the torch to light the clusters of arrows, spreading the bow and firing at the targets everywhere.Let these rockets cut through the sky, burning, glowing, and then falling diagonally after reaching the top.From the position of the Mad King's army, it looks like a fiery meteorite that pierces the night sky, descending on their camp!
The domes, cowsheds, stables, hay piles, and fuel everywhere are much easier to burn than Akiti Castle.Zhao Han'er laughed in the fire: "Thanks to the mud, the Han army was in a hurry to make smoke arrows, he was ready for us!"
”The fire was even greater, and the Wusun people in the depths of the camp did not hear the horn of withdrawal, and they were dizzy, and their courage was exhausted, and they were chasing each other in Hexiqu and Xiaoyue's light cavalry, and the dead were unknown, and people and animals kept running out on fire.If the grass is dense in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that it will not only burn the camp, but also burn the prairie with anger.From the northwest to the southeast, when Zhao Han'er led people through the whole camp, so that the ten-mile-long camp was stained with flames, from a high place, it looked like a burning crescent moon rose in the east of Chigu City.The southeastern corner of Akaya Castle was dwarfed by the flames that crackled and burned behind him, and in the blood moon, it was as if a roaring beast had been born, waving its fiery wings and spitting out long tongues of fire, licking the belly of the night sky and illuminating the boundless night.More than 30,000 horsemen of the Mad King Army, who narrowly escaped the siege outside, watched this scene blankly, and Cangtang Ear was on top, watching others burn and being burned themselves, the experience was completely different.Their courage and morale were almost burned out by this fire.The smoke was getting thicker, but luckily the wind wasn't in the direction of Akita Castle, but the heat wave had forced everyone to retreat.It was a cold winter night, but it was extremely warm at the moment, so warm that people were sweating profusely, and their skin was hot, and they wanted to take off their felt clothes and soak in the cold hot sea.There were more than 30,000 Mad King troops, and their eyes looked like dead ashes left behind after the camp was burned out, so they could only hold on to the neighing and frightened war horses, and wait for the Mad King's order blankly.Will you wait for dawn to fight the enemy who shows up, or will you give up attacking Akita Castle and just retreat?
The mad king almost gritted his teeth with hatred, and the means that he wanted to use for Akiti Castle fell on his head, and he moved stones and smashed his feet, which hurt his heart.And under the dazzling light of this flame, he sent a scout from a distance to investigate and found that ten miles away, there was indeed a large army!
That army was waiting to attack the camp, but seeing that Nimi directly gave up on returning reinforcements, they moved to the southeast and waited in formation, just one after the other with Akaya Castle, blocking the Mad King's army in the middle!
If you want to leave, you must first defeat the enemy."
It's the clothes of the Han army!""
Where's the flag?"
The Mad King asked."
The big banner planted on the hill seems to be a Han character.""
What word?
Say!
”The Mad King's eyes widened, he had to know who the enemy was!
Wusun has no words, isn't this embarrassing scout?
So he couldn't write it, and was slashed by the mad king in anger.The hapless translator who had almost been shot by Princess Xie with a crossbow last night had just escaped from the camp, and his face was gray.Because he knew some Chinese characters, he was forced by the mad king to follow the scouts to investigate again.When the interpreter came back a moment later, he had already been hit in the shoulder, and he was dripping with blood.With a sad face and trembling faces, he reported that he had risked death to see the words on the two banners."
