Tieluo Kingdom, where the Great Yuezhi army once resided.
The 650,000 allied troops marched all the way and finally arrived here only one day behind the Yuezhi army.
Even though he had been used to the cruelty of the Yueshi army along the way, when Zhao Jun came here with his army and saw the cesspit full of floating corpses, he was still shocked into silence by the scene in front of him.
Not only him, but everyone else had similar reactions.
Fortunately for the Tatars, the war on the grassland has always been cruel. The current scene seems nothing to them, but to the hundreds of thousands of Yunzhou troops, the scene in front of them is simply beyond human control.
In the huge manure pit, densely packed corpses were piled all the way up. The ones at the bottom were completely covered with manure and water, but there were no wounds on their bodies. They should have been drowned alive, while the ones above were all cut off. They took off their hands and feet and just threw them in, leaving them to bleed to death.
Where is this human world? This is clearly the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in the Asura Hell!
Even though these were not Song people, seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Yunzhou Army instinctively clenched their fists.
I couldn't help but think of the former border of the Song Dynasty. Did they treat the Song people like this? I felt even more angry!
"Your Highness, let's go. Look at the traces left here. We can catch up with the Yueshi army in at most one day."
Seeing Zhao Jun's reaction, Ding Hongguang tried to dissuade him from leaving. Zhao Jun understood what Ding Hongguang meant, but did not follow his words. Instead, he ordered: "Take out all the corpses and bury them in peace."
"But dear Tian Khan, this will delay the progress of the army. What if we can't catch up with the Great Yuezhi army?"
Sengge on the side dissuaded.
But Zhao Jun just looked back at him coldly and said:
"This king said, take out all the corpses and bury them in the ground!"
Seng Ge stopped talking, while Ding Hongguang sighed and quickly passed on the order.
Same here in Tatar.
After hearing this order, the Tatars were somewhat reluctant, but under the instructions of the leaders of the major khans, even if they were reluctant, they could only bite the bullet and do it.
It was much easier for the Yunzhou Army. As soon as the order was passed down, the soldiers immediately began to take action.
Regardless of the dirt in the manure pit, he jumped down without hesitation and lifted the corpses up one by one. He tried to piece them together as completely as possible. If it really didn't work, there was nothing he could do.
No one showed any reluctance, they just worked hard with complex expressions on their faces.
A whole half day!
Only then did the 650,000-strong army fish out all the corpses and lay them to rest.
The army finally began to advance again.
This time, the Tatars were still careless and indifferent, but the soldiers of the Yunzhou Army were silent, and the hands holding their weapons tightened.
Zhao Jun knew that they were all holding a breath in their hearts and needed to vent it out.
We're almost there, we're almost catching up, and we've blocked people in front of us.
one! No one can escape!
Zhao Jun's eyes were extremely firm, and the horse under him ran very fast!
…
Poof! ! !
Blood spurts!
Li Si Tang slashed a Da Yuezhi man who rushed to the top of the city in half with his Tang sword!
Blood was sprinkled all over him, but it only covered the armor that had already turned dark red with an extra layer of blood paint.
Next to him, Ban Chao also wielded a simple sword and flew up and down to kill the Da Yuezhi people who rushed up one by one.
One day! They've been keeping watch all day!
Sand Dune City is a small city, so the materials prepared were not too many. Even if some were transferred in advance, time was tight and not too many were transferred. In one day's work, with Da Yuezhi taking human lives to fill them, all the remote Weapons have been used up.
The arrows are gone, the stones are gone, and even the houses in the city, except for some necessary for resting at night, have been demolished and turned into wood and stones to defend the city.
Up to now, the Da Yuezhi people have gone into battle in person, and those prisoners couldn't control their rebellion when they were 40% dead. But without weapons, they couldn't make any waves in front of the Da Yuezhi, and they were beaten three times. Five divided by two, the killing was completed, and then Dayuezhi had no choice but to let his own people take the field in person.
But at this time, Dune City's long-range weapons had been exhausted, so the siege battle that turned lives into a series of numbers began.
On the most primitive ladder, the Yueshi people rushed up one after another with all their strength, and the defenders led by Li Sitang also slashed with all their might!
The entire south gate of Dune City has turned into a flesh and blood mill!
The corpses continued to pile up, and soon they became a mountain of corpses under the city, which made it easier for Dayuezhi to attack.
"Lord Protector, this won't work! If the corpses continue to pile up, those Da Yuezhi people will follow the corpses and come up!"
A general said anxiously, Da Yuezhi also discovered this, so the frequency of attacks became faster and faster.
Li Sitang looked at the pile of corpses under the city. He gritted his teeth and didn't care that there were still corpses of his own people inside. He immediately ordered: "Go get the oil! Burn it! Burn it clean!"
Someone hesitated: "Master Dugu, there are still corpses of brothers in there!"
Li Sitang turned back and glared at him: "Then do you think they are willing to watch their bodies become stepping stones for the Great Yuezhi to destroy the city?"
The man stopped talking.
Soon barrels of vegetable oil were carried up the city wall and poured on the pile of corpses below the city. Now many Dayuezhi people stopped fighting, and many people even slipped and fell directly. Someone immediately reported the situation. Reported to Qiu Yeque, who immediately realized what the other party wanted to do and quickly ordered to retreat, but it was already over. The city investment torch was thrown down as if it was for free, and the pile of corpses under the city wall that had been used as a stepping stone was already covered in oil. , this spark sparked a raging fire in an instant!
A wall of fire rose directly outside the city wall of Dune City!
The smart people turned around and ran away long ago, while those who had no time to react turned into human-shaped torches the moment the torch fell! He became part of the wall of fire, screaming and running back to get back to the crowd for help.
However, the others stopped, fearing that the fire would burn them. They bent their bows and arrows to kill the "burning people" who tried to rush into the crowd one by one! "
The originally huddled battlefield fell silent briefly, but everyone knew that this was just the prelude before the storm came, and the next battle would begin at any time after the fire burned out.
In contrast, Shebitu breathed a sigh of relief, finally fighting for a little longer.
On the other hand, Da Yueshi looked at the raging fire and was furious!
"Da Chanyu! There is news from behind that a large number of people are on their way. They will arrive here in about one day at most. I am afraid that the pursuers from the Yunzhou Army are coming!"
Someone reported to Qiu Ye, but Qiu Ye was shocked and felt even more urgent!
He gritted his teeth and nodded.
At this time, Zhao Jun is still on the way with an army of 650,000!
