Boom, boom, boom!
After another burst of banging sounds, the siege warriors looked at the slightly deformed city gate and smiled sincerely.
Following the footsteps of the Governor of Beiyan, they completely wiped out the main army of 500,000 Daqian!
And they fought all the way from the hinterland of Beiyan to the capital of Daqian!
So everyone's self-confidence is through the roof.
They firmly believe that the feud between Beiyan and Daqian that has lasted for hundreds of years will be resolved by their own hands in their own generation!
Everything that has happened so far proves this.
But now, the only obstacle is the city gate in front of us.
The city gate symbolizes the rise and fall of the three hundred years of Daqian. The city gate is so heavy that it is unimaginable!
But even so, they never gave up.
Instead, he watched the city gate being hit and deformed day by day by himself and others, and his heart was full of pride and excitement.
Soon!
It's really fast!
Once the city gate is knocked open, they can march straight in and enter the capital city of Daqian.
There will be delicious food, high officials and generous salaries, titles and generals, and women are indispensable.
These things are all fast!
Many warriors gasped and began to retreat slightly.
Using siege pillars to siege a city is indeed an unimaginable and extremely physically demanding job!
Even if they are the most elite group of Beiyan's 300,000 cavalry, they cannot withstand a long siege.
So they were divided into several groups, and they would change people every once in a while.
And now, it's time to make a substitution.
However, before they could retreat, arrows flew down from the city wall.
The siege warriors were quite dismissive of this, and even sneered at it.
Although they were all wearing light armor, this was to reduce their burden when surrounding the siege pillar.
But on the outside, there were many guards wearing heavy armor and holding shields as high as one man to protect them!
The arrows in the sky looked scary, but if the general who defended the city wanted to use these to kill them, he would be too naive.
At most it would just delay them for a while.
As everyone knows, at this moment, on the city wall, Huo Qiji watched the soldiers bring up barrels one after another, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he smiled!
He compared himself to his father and determined to become a famous general famous among the princes and the five countries.
How could he not know that the arrows in the sky are useless against the guards wearing heavy armor and carrying shields?
The arrow's function is only to delay time.
"Pour the golden juice!"
Huo Qiji looked at the barrels and gave the order.
What is gold juice?
In short, it is the filth in the pit.
A mixture of solid and liquid!
Not only that, it also has to be left there to ferment for several days!
Then bring to a boil over high heat!
The color turns golden, and this is the end, which is called golden juice!
If you think about something like this, you will know how lethal it is.
Normally, if you only come into contact with it for a few hours, you need to clean it for several hours. Otherwise, burns and scalds are minor, but contracting the virus in the gold juice and contracting the disease are more serious!
Following Huo Qiji's order, hot golden juice spread down the city wall.
Seeing the golden juice falling from the sky, the guards in heavy armor were shocked and quickly set up their shields to resist!
The space of the shield is large enough. If you support it to resist arrows, it will be more than enough.
But this is all-pervasive golden juice!
And don’t forget, there’s a battering ram among them that needs to be surrounded by several people!
Therefore, there must be gaps between people, and it is impossible to achieve a perfect fit with just a shield!
Therefore, when the golden juice flowed into the clothes of the heavy armored guards and siege warriors along the gaps in the shields and armors.
Under the city wall of Daqian, there was a cry of crying for father and mother, like a pig being slaughtered!
Not far away, Beiyan's 300,000-strong cavalry general, Beiyan's Grand Governor Murong Yan, looked at this scene. His heart suddenly shivered and he immediately ordered: "Go and save people!"
"Get people back!"
The siege warriors were the most elite group among the 300,000 cavalrymen. Whenever one of them was lost, he would be heartbroken for a long time, let alone if so many people died together.
Without these people, the progress of the siege will inevitably slow down further!
So as to achieve the goal of the enemy general!
Murong Yan's face was ashen, and she was extremely embarrassed for a moment.
Gold juice is indeed a common means of defending the city. He has been rampant on the battlefield for many years, so he doesn't know this.
However, this is usually used by the city defenders in summer!
In winter, it is very difficult just to collect the golden juice, let alone boil it.
Moreover, in the coldest month of winter, the lethality will further decrease.
So he was defenseless.
Unexpectedly, one mistake would lead to eternal regret.
The siege warriors suffered heavy losses.
However, such a strategy can only be used once in front of him.
Next time, as long as we add enough heavy-armored guards, wrap them all in insulating cowhide and soft cloth, and equip them with larger shields, then this golden juice will not be something to be afraid of!
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Murong Yan gave an order, and the Beiyan army retreated back like a tide, so orderly that Huo Qiji, who had been watching on the city wall for a long time, could not find a chance to make a move.
He frowned slightly and couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart.
Obviously, the opponent's general can command an army of 300,000, so he is not some idiot.
This battle has been fought!
Next, Beiyan launched an all-out attack every time.
Every time, the defense on the city wall was shaky, as if just adding more fire could break into the city.
But just this little bit was like a natural chasm, standing in front of Bei Yan's 300,000 troops and Murong Yan, preventing them from advancing even an inch.
Over time, Murong Yan figured it out!
The opponent's general is a master!
The art of war and strategy are probably far superior to mine!
This is treating him and the Beiyan Cavalry as dogs.
I have to say that the other party did succeed.
Under Murong Yan's desperate attack, although the base of Beiyan's army of 300,000 was still there, a small number of elites suffered heavy losses.
This is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that the indomitable momentum of Beiyan's 300,000 troops has been curbed!
As the old saying goes, you can gain momentum in one go, but then it will fade away, and in three cases, it will be exhausted.
When they first arrived at Qiandu City, the momentum of the attack was the strongest, and the possibility of capturing the city was also the greatest.
Now, after successive setbacks, the morale of Beiyan's army has been hit, and it is no longer as brave as before, and is even a little depressed.
However, even so, there is nothing gained.
Beiyan's extremely thick and hard-as-iron city wall has been almost chipped away by them.
Therefore, in the next few days, Murong Yan only needs to play steadily and spend no time.
I'm afraid it won't take a few days to successfully attack the city!
At that time, no matter how powerful the enemy general is, it will be of no avail!
I can only look at the ocean and sigh, everything is over!
Murong Yan looked at Qiandu City under the dark night with a sneer on her lips.
Soon it will be time for the city to be destroyed!
