Huo Qubing smiled lightly.

In a word, it was impossible to refute what Ran Min said.

That's it.

The two discussed seriously for a while, and after confirming a new battle plan, they began to act.

In the end, Ran Min only brought 4000 people to support Zhuoxie Pass.

And Huo Qubing ordered the remaining 6000 people to prepare food and water. If Ran Min fights with the enemy, they will attack immediately!

As for Yumen Pass, Huo Qubing transferred Pang De and asked him to recruit soldiers from Zhangye and Jiuquan to guard the pass!

Two days later, Ran Min rushed to Zhuoxie Mountain with his army.

After repairing, the Xiongnu launched an attack on Zhuoxie Pass again.But this time, they are going steadily and steadily.

Let the shield soldiers advance little by little.

The original single-person shield was changed to a huge five-person shield and ten-person shield.

These shields are arranged row upon row, leaving no gaps.

Even if it is an arrow shot by Zhong Yue himself, it can't shake the slightest.

Soon, the siege army came to the foot of the city wall.

Under their cover, dozens of ladder trucks gradually approached.

"General!"

"The enemy is approaching, our bows and arrows have no effect on them!"

A fake army Sima ran to Zhong Yue in a hurry,

This time, the Huns were already close to the city wall, but there was nothing they could do.

Everyone is in a hurry!

Zhao Lansheng raised his eyes and stared into the distance, "It's been three days, why haven't the reinforcements come yet? Could it be that our messenger was stopped by the Huns?"

These words were like a mountain, pressing down on everyone's heads!

"What are you panicking about, prepare some hot soup for me, and welcome these bastards!"

Zhong Yue raised his tiger eyes and looked at the dark enemy army,

Heart as firm as a rock!

Regardless of whether there are reinforcements or not, he will stick to Zhuoxie Pass to prevent the Huns from stepping into the land of the Han Dynasty!

……

PS: Thanks to [Song Tie of Anju Palace] for the great role summoning, and [Celery and Carrot-loving Disguise] [Azrael in the presence of the old god] for the great reminder.

Chapter 391 Retreat as Advance, Lure the Enemy to the City

Although there is no fire oil reserve in Zhuoxie Pass, there is plenty of water and firewood.

Knowing that the Huns were coming again, Zhong Yuezhao ordered people to set up an iron pot on the city wall, boiled hundreds of pots of boiling water and waited.

The Huns lined up their shields and approached the city wall,

With Zhong Yue's order, hundreds of pots of boiling water poured down!

The shield array can block dense arrows, but it is not connected together after all.The scalding hot water seeped in through the gaps, some got into the necks of the soldiers in front, and some splashed on their faces, making them scream.

Although it was not as deterrent as kerosene, the huge pain was enough to break the shield formation.

The archers, who had already been prepared, released their arrows immediately after seeing the opening.

"Whoosh-"

Long arrows fell one by one, and the exposed Hun soldiers fell down in response.

At such a close distance, there is no way to let go!

"General, the effect of hot soup is too limited."

Seeing that the Huns quickly made up the gap, Zhao Lansheng couldn't help frowning.

Although he has been a soldier all his life, the older he is, the more combat experience he has.He was determined not to be as good as this brilliant student from Imperial College in matters that could use his brain.

Zhong Yue also knows that hot soup is far less effective than fire oil.

But what can be done? The Huns specially thought of a way to break his arrow formation, and the function of bows and arrows was almost restrained.

Without those hot soups, they might not even be able to kill these dozens of people.

"Let the soldiers prepare for close combat."

Zhong Yue looked up, still acting very relaxed.

"General, don't we still have a little fire oil, if we pour it out at this time, it will surely scare the enemy away!"

Zhao Lansheng didn't understand why Zhong Yue was still digging at this time.

Zhong Yue turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, "The kerosene cannot be moved, it is used to guard the city gate."

"Guard the city gate?"

Just when Zhao Lansheng was hesitating, there was a loud "bang" from the city gate.

The solid city gate unexpectedly became a little loose.

"It's not good, General, the enemy's assault vehicle is coming up!"

The city gate chief yelled in panic.

Because they are protected by shields, not to mention bows and arrows, even Thunder Stone and Rolling Log can't do anything to them.

He could only watch helplessly as they hit the city gate.

No matter how strong the city gate is, it cannot withstand several impacts.

Zhong Yue hurried to the top of the city gate, "Bring over the fire oil!"

The soldiers quickly moved dozens of kerosene cans over, "General, should we throw them away now?"

Zhong Yue shook his head, "Use hot soup first!"

"what?"

Zhao Lansheng, the city gate chief and the others couldn't understand, "General, soak it in hot soup first, how can the oil burn?"

They instinctively believe that water can put out fire.

"Do as I say, so much nonsense!"

Zhong Yue didn't have the time to explain now, so he roared angrily.

"Yes!"

The head of the city gate quickly ordered someone to overturn the iron pot and pour down the two pots of boiling water.

"Zizi-"

Boiling water flowed into the gaps in the shield array, and there was a scream of being scalded immediately.

Flaws also appeared in the shield array immediately.

Seeing those Hun soldiers in the boiling water, they jumped up and down.

The soldiers who were serious about the battle had some rare smiles on their faces.

"In our hometown, pig slaughter is like this."

"First scald the pig's skin with boiling water, remove the hair..."

A corporal from Yuzhou in the distance joked with the people around him.

"Look for the flaw, throw the kerosene can for me!"

Zhong Yue ordered in a solemn voice!

Seven or eight kerosene cans were thrown away immediately.

Zhong Yue picked up a torch and threw it down right after the kerosene jar.

The kerosene jar shattered and kerosene splashed everywhere.

Then,

The flames flew up and turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

Because two large pots of water were poured down before, the kerosene floated on the water surface, which accelerated the flow speed, so the flame spread very quickly, and immediately burned the Huns' city rush car.

The siege team also immediately turned into a team of Pyromen.

The screams came one after another, incessantly.

Since the siege vehicles were burned and the city gate was blocked by fire, the Huns could not continue to destroy the city gate.

The soldiers of the Han army were very excited when they saw this scene.

Sure enough, the general still has a way!

However, the Huns would not give up their attack just because a siege team was destroyed. As the ladder truck approached, the real siege officially began.

at this time,

King Zuo Xian sent out his bow cavalry again.

However, because their own people are climbing the city wall, bow cavalry can't cover as much as before.

Instead, relying on superb archery skills, they suppressed the soldiers on the city wall.

As long as the Han army shows up, it is possible to be shot by their arrows.

For a while, it posed a great threat to the Han army defending the city.

"Damn it, I really want to rush out and kill those bow riders!"

Zhao Lansheng hid behind the city wall and started cursing.

"If you have time to complain, why not think about how to kill the enemy!"
