The 400,000 Xiongnu and Khitan coalition forces were a full 100,000 more than the data provided by Lin Zhenyuan before.
Although Zhou Yi had just boosted his morale, he himself was feeling sad at the moment.
"Qian Yong, ordered everyone in the county to be summoned. The men will distribute armor to me, while the women and children will do their best to ensure the food supply in the rear."
"In addition, put some big pots on the city wall for me and arrange a team of people to cook the dung for me!"
Qian Yong thought he had heard wrongly and asked quickly: "Sir, did I hear correctly? Why are we boiling this excrement?"
Zhou Yi grinned and said: "What else can I do? Defend the city, of course."
"This boiled excrement is no longer excrement, but golden soup. When the enemy comes to attack the city, we can pour this golden soup on their heads."
After hearing this, Qian Yong felt sick just thinking about it, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid this is not a good idea, sir!"
"Besides, the most they can do is get burns, so it's not much of a threat!"
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes at Qian Yong and said, "What's wrong? In war, we use all possible means."
"As for you saying that this golden soup is useless, you are totally wrong. This is a triple mixed injury that causes psychological damage, physical damage, and magic damage."
Qian Yong was stunned for a while, feeling like he had learned something new.
The Khitan and Huns allied forces also knew that besieging an army was inevitable, and surrounded Pingliang County in three routes: east, west, and south, leaving only the north gate open for the people in the city to escape.
Since he had the opportunity to attack first, the Khitan king first gathered 5,000 troops to test from the southeast.
When the Khitan troops pushed the watchtower cart three feet away from the city wall of Pingjiang County, they found that their watchtower was actually two feet shorter than the city wall.
Previously, the two coalition forces could clearly see the military layout on the city wall of Pingyang City through this watchtower car, but now they never thought that Pingliang County was actually higher than Pingyang City. (The height of the city in Pingliang County has been changed. Pingyang City is 10 meters high, Pingjiang County and Pingliang County are 15 meters high, which reduces the difficulty for the Xiongnu!)
Khitan King Ashinabadu, who could not see the real situation in the city, could only find Zhang Biao's captured general and inquire in detail about the situation of the defenders in Pingliang County.
"Sir, the commander-in-chief of Pingliang County is named Li Feiyu. He only has three thousand defenders, and there are only ten thousand people in the city!"
The loser didn't have the chance to come with Zhang Biao to give "Li Feiyu" a sweaty BMW last time, so his understanding of Pingliang County was still stuck at three or four years ago.
After hearing this, Khitan King Ashinabat had no worries and directly asked his tribesmen to gather 5,000 troops to attack Pingliang City.
A long time ago, Zhou Yi sent people to mark the farthest range of crossbow arrows outside the city.
So when a large number of Khitan troops rushed into Zhou Yi's shooting circle, Zhou Yi gave the order to start shooting.
The Book of Changes learned from the art of arranging fire blunderbuss and destroying thieves in "Special Realm Zhou Zilu". He placed many fire blunderbuss and magical arrows, and divided his soldiers into three rows to form a staggered formation. Zhou Yi also divided the crossbowmen into three lines.
The first row of crossbowmen finished shooting, and quickly retreated to the back to change arrows. The second row continued shooting, and the second row finished shooting and the third row continued.
After the third row of crossbowmen finished shooting the crossbows, the first row of crossbowmen also re-armed their crossbows, and the seamless connection began again.
The arrow rain was dense and seemingly endless. No matter how brave the Khitan people were, no one pushed the siege truck near the city gate.
The first round of the offensive ended hastily with the Khitans leaving hundreds of corpses behind!
Zhou Yi couldn't help but be a little disappointed about this. He originally thought that the opponent's offensive would be fierce, but it was just loud thunder and little rain.
Of course, Zhou Yi also knew that this was just their temptation, so he did not take it lightly.
The Khitan King didn't care that he had lost hundreds of people just after the attack. In his opinion, the commander of Pingliang City must be someone who didn't know how to use soldiers. The dense wave of arrow rain just now probably consumed a lot of their arrows.
Just when the Khitan King Ashina Badu was thankful that he had only deceived most of the arrows in the city with the lives of a few hundred people, the Khitan King once again assembled an army of 10,000 and began a formal attack.
On top of Pingliang City Tower, large pots of excrement were boiling until they were bubbling.
An unpleasant smell permeated the city wall. Zhou Yi also felt that the golden soup was almost cooked, so he ordered his crossbowmen to fire arrows at a greatly reduced frequency. After the Huns and Khitans walked in, let them Taste this flavorful weapon.
The 10,000-strong Khitan army assembled for the second time charged forward from three directions: east, west, and south. Just as Khitan King Ashinabadu had imagined, the arrow rain in this second attack was far less dense than the first.
This also made Khitan King Ashnaba very proud, feeling that it was easy to break through Pingliang City.
The Khitan warriors who were charging at the front also felt that wealth and beauty were already close at hand.
Suddenly, many Khitan warriors in the front row seemed to have something dripping on their hands.
"Is it raining?" Many Khitan people hesitated.
It has not rained for three years. Many people are looking forward to the arrival of rain, so that fertile water grass will grow on the grassland and they will have pasture for their tribe's cattle, sheep and horses.
But the next second they felt something was wrong. Why was the "rainwater" so hot, and it also had a smell!
On the tower, Zhou Yi was very angry.
What makes him angry is that the soldier just now was too petty and poured out spoonfuls of golden soup.
"Is there any mistake? If the Huns and Khitans outside the city wall saw it, they would think that I was reluctant to give them the golden soup. Why would I just pour it in spoonful after spoonful?"
"You idiot, take the scoop away!"
"Just pour it one tank at a time, one person at a time."
After hearing this, all the soldiers on the city wall put on thick gloves and poured out the pots of golden soup on the city tower.
There is no wealth and wealth outside Pingliang City, but the excrement pouring into the sky comes in an instant.
Dozens of pots of boiling hot golden soup poured down, and the soldiers under the city wall who were poured on them all screamed because they were so hot.
Zhou Yi had to admire those people who dared to open their mouths and shout at this time, and they were not afraid to taste the deliciousness of this golden soup with their own mouths.
On the city wall, the soldiers of Pingliang County were overjoyed when they heard the wailing of Khitan dogs under their city!
The burn was not well-known, but the psychological attack of this golden soup was immediately apparent.
A strong, disgusting stench instantly erupted among the Khitan army.
This boiled feces smells much worse than the feces stored in the manure pit, and the smell can spread even further after being transferred by heat.
Many Khitan people who couldn't stand the stench began to retching on the ground.
In this world, the earliest biochemical weapons were invented by Zhou Yi.
The idiom "impregnable" also comes from the Battle of Pingliang.
Everyone in the history books of later generations applauded the Shengwu Emperor Zhou Yi's move to defend the city with golden soup!
