- A moment's loss of concentration on the battlefield would lead to tragic consequences. Ma Yue did not want the rebels to take the opportunity to attack the city because of his mistake. If it was true that there was no need for General Nan Jiyun to take action, he would have killed himself to apologize.
"The Suiyang City that the brothers have been holding on to for several months must not be left in their hands. As long as they have one breath left, they must hold on to the northern part of Suiyang City.
The nail pat was put down again, but this time the effect was not very good. Perhaps the rebels were prepared after the last lesson and took the initiative to avoid this sharp blade. Although the power of the nail bat is huge, the range of control is limited after all. The rebel soldiers only need to avoid this area and choose other ladders to climb, and the nail bat will not hurt them.
"Hey, damn it!" Ma Yue hammered his thigh, took a deep breath and said coldly: "Pour tung oil on me and burn me hard!"
"Hey, hey!" How could these recruits know so much? They only knew that they had to obey the orders of their superiors, so they picked up the oil drums piled at the top of the city and poured water along the ladder.
"Wow!"
Tung oil was poured all over the rebel soldiers who were climbing up. Smelling the strong and pungent smell, these soldiers felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
That¡¯s the sound of fire breaking off!
The Tang army actually set the ladder on fire!
This is definitely a very risky choice. Although the city wall is made of masonry and clay, no one can guarantee whether the fire will spread to the city. However, at this time, the Tang soldiers in Suiyang City obviously had no better choice. There are so many rebels that they alone cannot take care of them. The only chance now is to use fire to block all routes of the rebel attack. As for whether the fire will come back to bite them, that's not what they need to consider now.
"Hoo!"
The open flame ignited as soon as it came into contact with the tung oil, and the blazing fire illuminated the dusk sky as if it were daytime.
The ladder was calcined by the fire, producing thick and smelly black smoke, which spread to the top of the city with the wind.
The clothes of many rebel soldiers were stained with tung oil. As soon as the fire was stained with the tung oil on the ladder, it spread along the grease. In a short time, these rebel soldiers were ignited and their whole bodies were on fire. Burning is very scary.
"ah!"
"ah!"
These soldiers were covered in open flames, and they flapped and struggled desperately to put out the fire. But how can the fire be easily extinguished when it encounters tung oil and burns more vigorously? Many soldiers fell off the ladder and died while struggling.
"Crack!" "Crack!"
An even more terrifying thing happened. After a long period of burning, the ladder was finally overwhelmed and broke, falling down along the city wall.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the entire North City has been dyed with flames.
Looking at Suiyang City wrapped in thick smoke and firelight, Yang Chaozong frowned slightly
He had calculated everything, but he did not expect that the Tang army would use such a trick to kill the enemy by a thousand and damage himself by eight hundred. Although Suiyang City is relatively strong, if it is burned by fire like this, it will definitely be harmful rather than beneficial. This kind of disadvantage is often a hidden danger. It is not visible at ordinary times, but it can give people a fatal blow at the most critical moment.
And what did you lose? There are only less than 5,000 soldiers. The most indispensable thing in our army now is soldiers!
In this battle, the Tang army used up almost all the tung oil and all the stone and rolling wood. As long as he launches another attack, he will definitely be able to capture Beicheng. When the time comes, he will be the number one to capture Suiyang City, and he will definitely receive a generous reward from His Majesty the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Yang Chaozong calmed down and nodded to the flag bearer beside him.
Once the black flag comes out, we can only advance but not retreat!
Looking at the wounded soldiers wailing on top of the city, Nan Jiyun felt very uncomfortable.
Most of these soldiers were recruited by him temporarily. Most of them were children from good families and had never even touched a sword, but now they had to shoulder the important task of guarding Suiyang City.
No matter from which perspective, this requirement seems to be too stringent.
But, he has no choice!
If Helan Jinming was willing to rush to Suiyang for help, why would he be in this situation where no one can help him!
For some reason, Nan Jiyun thought of Li Kuo again. A few months ago, he led his army to Ningling to deal with the fire and water, but he returned to Tangzhou without stopping afterwards. If Li Kuo were outside Suiyang City at this moment, the battle situation would probably be very different.
But there are so many ifs in the world! South??Yun mocked himself coldly and sighed looking at the dark sky.
??When night falls and the stars are obscured, the country will be destroyed.
Under the vast sky of the Tang Dynasty, is it impossible to find a star that guides the direction?
"Nan Ba, what are you thinking about?" Lei Wanchun came to Nan Jiyun's side at some point, patted his friend's arm, and asked harmoniously.
Nan Jiyun was puzzled: "Didn't you lead your troops to defend the city in the east city? Why are you here?"
Lei Wanchun pointed to the east side and said: "Everyone knows that the rebels will mainly attack the North City. At dusk, they fired a few symbolic arrows at the East City. Now they have completely given up the attack. I heard about the battle in the North City. It was so tragic that we brought two hundred soldiers to reinforce it."
Nan Jiyun smiled bitterly and could not help but wave his hands.
Two hundred soldiers, two hundred soldiers!
In the past, these two hundred soldiers were nothing, but now they were half of the number of soldiers guarding the city in East City. Lei Wanchun obviously took a huge risk by making this choice. He was betting that the rebels wouldn't launch an onslaught on East City.
¡°I really don¡¯t know how long we can last!¡± Nan Jiyun removed the wine gourd from his waist, pulled out the cork, and started drinking wine.
They have been guarding Suiyang City for half a year, but the imperial court has no intention of coming to rescue them. If this continues, the brothers will really turn into blood. Nan Jiyun was not afraid of death, but he did not want to die in such a useless way.
He really doesn¡¯t know what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking. Chang¡¯an City is important, but isn¡¯t Suiyang City important? Or does he think that the recapture of Chang'an City represents a big step in the counter-insurgency plan?
"Hold on until we all fall down and die!" Lei Wanchun spread his hands and said: "Old man, what are you afraid of? I will be with you whether you live or die. Besides, in the end, I can have so many brothers as my companions. It¡¯s quite enjoyable!¡±
"Human, what do you want to do in this life? Isn't it just refreshing? Some people think it's refreshing to be a prince and minister, and some people think it's refreshing to be rich and to defeat the country, but don't we both think it's refreshing to kill enemies freely?"
Lei Wanchun clenched the steel knife in his hand and said: "No matter how sharp the sword is, it will sometimes make a cut, but as long as the spirit of the men of the Tang Dynasty does not die, it will not be easy to re-cast a batch of swords." ?¡±
Lei Wanchun looked far away in the direction of Tangzhou, his eyes full of hope
