Walking down the city wall, Xu Mu's face became more and more serious.
Two hours, if converted into the time of later generations, is approximately four hours. It was enough for him to take the girl to a hotel for dinner and a movie... and then walked out of the hotel.
Not too much.
"Old General Lian, who is the commander-in-chief of Beidi this time?"
"I heard that he is the brother of the Great Khan of Beidi, Tuoba Zhao, King of Zuo Khan. Tuoba Zhao has a gloomy temperament and has a city in his chest. He once said that this time he would skin hundreds of generals in the Central Plains and trample them under his feet."
Xu Mu sneered.
The king of the alien race on the grassland is called the Great Khan. Under the Great Khan, they are divided into Zuo Khan and Right Khan, which are equivalent to the Zaifu and Taiwei in the Imperial Court.
This level is a level higher than that of Hu Yange, the original King of Guli. It can be seen that the Beidi people are bound to win this southern expedition.
"Little boss, I will retreat in two hours, what should I do now?"
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the top of the city.
After the Beidi people's catapult, the offensive rarely slowed down. Di Gou wanted to climb the wall, but the defenders at the top of the city used various methods to force him down the wall.
"Old General Lian, could you please guard the gate for the time being?"
Just as Lian Yong was about to answer, suddenly another arrow fell from the sky. He was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped talking and hid himself behind the city wall.
Xu Mu took a breath. Of course, Wangzhou City cannot be defended. The city gate is too broken and the Beidi people can't even beat it a few times.
There can be bloody battles, but it is not wise to stay and die for the city.
I told Lian Yong before that before leaving Wangzhou, I would leave a killing trap behind.
"Brother Mu, what should I do?"
Si Hu, who ran after him, was a little reluctant. He wanted to drag his double-edged ax and chop off a few more Di people's dog heads.
"Si Hu, how many years have you and I lived in Wangzhou?"
"Brother Mu is two years older than me, and I am sixteen this year."
"Si Hu, you are twenty-four years old..."
"That's more than twenty years. When I was a child, I survived by begging."
Even though he had traveled through time, seriously speaking, Xu Mu had a lot of feelings for this old city of Wangzhou in his heart.
He came out of Wangzhou, destroyed Wangzhou, and now, he wants to destroy Wangzhou again.
"Si Hu, you bring some people and lift all the stone slabs near the North City Gate."
These stone slabs, as the old official in Wangzhou said, have been in disrepair for many years, and many of them have been trampled to pieces.
"Brother Mu, what are you doing?"
"Find something that is easy to catch fire, bury it and cover it up, leaving gaps. Remember to pour some fire oil."
Those who did not go to the city wall to garrison, as well as many wounded soldiers who had retreated, rushed over one after another. Following Xu Mu's instructions, they kept looking for flammable materials such as dry grass and dung, and carefully buried them under the stone slabs without forgetting. Pour some fire oil over it.
Two hours was not much time, but fortunately there were enough manpower. By noon, the open space in front of the North City Gate and the avenue were covered with flammable materials soaked in kerosene.
If it rains now, Xu Mu will scold his mother directly.
"General, everything is buried!"
Xu Mu nodded and stood up, looking around at the surrounding layout. Time is too tight to allow the entire city to burn down.
However, after asking Qingtian Camp before, most of the heroes who traveled around the world were carrying Mongolian sweat medicine. Xu Mu simply took them all and buried them in several directions. When the fire started, they should be able to have some effect.
This fire was enough to allow tens of thousands of people in Wangzhou to leave safely.
Throughout the ages, most of the examples of battles in which less defeated more with less came from the two attacks of water and fire, Red Cliff, Burning Company Camp, Baiqi Water Flooding Yan City...
After walking a few more steps toward the city wall, Xu Mu walked to Lian Yong's side. At this time, under the gate of Wangzhou, the Beidi people's offensive gradually slowed down.
The corpses under the city ravine were piled up on several levels. Di Gou's, the old soldiers', the Yuzhou Army's black armor, and the Qingtian Camp's white armor.
In war, people will die.
"This was the case in the past. King Zuo Khan could not attack for a long time. Seeing that Di Gou had lost his morale, he wanted to retreat first."
One hundred thousand Beidi people may succeed in a continuous crazy attack, but the number of corpses filling the gully will increase several times.
Xu Mu frowned and looked towards the direction of the Di people's camp. Compared with the previous King Guli, Zuo Khan of the Beidi people was really able to hold his breath.
"According to the war going on these days, when the siege supplies have been redeployed, these Di dogs will come up again and fight to the death."
"Don't worry about this for now." Xu Mu said in a solemn voice.
"Old General Lian, the time is almost up. You and your men should retreat first."
"What about the little boss?"
"I will lead three thousand people to the rear. These three thousand people are light cavalry and will catch up quickly. I don't need the baggage in the city, but I can bring some food and grass."
"Why?"
Xu Mu turned his head, his face a little gloomy, "Zhao Qingyun is staying between the two cities now, and there are still 20,000 light cavalry. I'm worried that too much baggage, plus there are people outside the city, will slow down the march. speed."
If he is intercepted by Zhao Qingyun and attacked by Di Ren who is slowing down behind him, disaster will be imminent.
"I will listen to you."
"Old General, set off quickly."
Lian Yong nodded, and without further delay, he asked the defenders at the top of the city to retreat carefully, and after counting their numbers, he and more than 20,000 troops from the Yuzhou camp slowly marched outside Wangzhou City.
Wangzhou is only a hundred and twenty miles away from Hezhou. If we march faster, we can arrive at night.
Zhao Qingyun is certainly troublesome. But Xu Mu is more willing to guess that this dogman may not be willing to give up, and has been circling around Hezhou, thinking about taking back the city gate.
"My little boss, I'm all ready." Chang Wei ran over with the pear blossom gun in his arms, still chattering, "Don't be fooled, this time I'm going to burn all these dogs into red dogs!" "
Xu Mu smiled slightly and took it as a response.
Even excluding those who died in battle and those who were recovering from injuries in the rear, the Di people still had an army of almost 70,000 to 80,000 people. No matter how powerful the fire in Wangzhou City was, it was impossible to burn them all to death.
"Brother Mu, do you want to leave?"
"Wait a minute, the Di people's baggage is here. I guess they will throw flint again later to steal a round of ammunition."
"My dear boss, what is ammunition?"
Xu Mucai was shocked to realize that he had slipped his words and was too lazy to explain. He raised his head and stared into the distance. The time was just right. After the next wave of collapsing fire rocks, there would be dense crowds of Beidi people trying to break through again.
Not long after.
As Xu Mu expected, the Beidi people went crazy. Following the "woo woo" sound of the ox horn trombone, Beidi's captains kept running on horseback, commanding the regrouped phalanx.
Above the sky, the first whistling fire-breaking stone was thrown from a distance using the power of the lever, drawing a parabola with fire smoke.
"Get off the city wall!" Xu Mu shouted angrily.
More than 3,000 people jumped off the city, causing the entire city to suddenly become empty.
Xu Mu was not worried.
I guess those Beidi people would just think that they were hiding behind the female wall again.
Waves of fire and rocks broke apart the ancient Wangzhou city wall, and soon after, the roars of the Di people rushing through the pass could be heard.
Xu Mu coldly rode up to General Feng. Behind him, more than 3,000 people of light cavalry also mounted their horses.
"Out of town--"
