Qiu Jianhan was very happy: "Marquis Yun rushed thousands of miles to help us, which is really a great help to us! Thank you very much."
Qiu Jianhan knew the true identity of Marquis Yun very well; when Marquis Yun came here, it was almost as if His Majesty had arrived here!
No matter what decision Qiu Jianhan makes, as long as Marquis Yun is stationed here, even if there are any mistakes afterwards, Marquis Yun will shoulder the responsibility.
On the royal side, there will never be any suspicion.
This is not something the old marshal thinks too much, but a means of self-protection when necessary.
After all, the so-called generals who do not accept the emperor's orders, whose superior achievements surpass the master's, and who are suspicious of the emperor and his ministers are the first concerns of the general, and he must and must guard against them.
Although Marshal Qiu is very sure that His Majesty will never doubt him, he must beware of villains in the court causing trouble!
If you lose the battle, everything will be over; if you win, there will always be people who want to pick peaches.
In this regard, no matter how wise the monarch is, or how prosperous the world is, there will never be a shortage of such people!
And at this moment, the war drums on the opposite side suddenly sounded like a thunderous sound, and the shrill horn sounds simultaneously cut through the sky!
The sudden sound was deafening, and the ground shook!
"Dongxuan attacks!"
After hearing this news that was reasonable but unexpected, Fu Baoguo was almost stunned.
Faced with such an impregnable pass, why did Han Shanhe, the world-famous commander in the world, launch an attack in broad daylight at such a time
Is he out of his mind
Or maybe I took the wrong medicine? !
But no matter how confused he was, Han Shanhe's attack was already in front of his eyes!
Fu Baoguo almost rushed to the top of the city in one breath, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but gasped.
I saw the densely packed Dongxuan army, all carrying long ladders as dense as a forest, charging over the mountains and plains!
What made Fu Baoguo even more frightened was that he also saw Dongxuan's black cavalry all dispatched, like a black dragon, swimming in the middle of the highway, shaking its head and tail, ready to bite the enemy fiercely at any time.
What makes Fu Baoguo even more strange, or incomprehensible, is...
There are also quite a few people holding long rolling logs and large rocks.
Isn't that a tool that is only used to defend the city
And what are those people doing while running with half a long ladder in their hands
Do you need these things for siege
Isn't Hanshanhe's attack just for fun? !
Han Shanhe's front army pressed forward at the same time, rumbling all the way to the middle of the battlefield. The 200,000 black cavalry attacking this time were divided into two teams, and they were like two big pliers on the left and right, staring at the battlefield!
"Follow the arrangements made the day before yesterday, and all the archers in the army will be at your service!"
Qiu Jianhan's voice came from behind.
The old marshal's voice was unusually heavy: "For now, we only need archers to move. Han Shanhe's main purpose this time is not to attack the city!"
"Aren't you here to attack the city?"
Fu Baoguo was even more confused when he heard this.
But the next moment, he understood.
Reality told him the answer!
The Dongxuan soldiers who were gradually approaching the Tieguguan Pass, and the troops who were the first to break the pass, walked very neatly, because each of them held a huge shield in one hand, covering their whole body airtight; Then he rushed over carrying a long ladder held by several people.
But the next step for this team to reach the edge of Tieguguan was to raise the long ladder to the city wall, then turn around and leave without stopping!
Seeing such a reality, Fu Baoguo was still puzzled and confused. What's going on? The ladders have been set up and we have reached the edge of the city. Why don't we attack the city
Is this another form of cold feet? !
"Fire arrows!!" Qiu Jianhan gave the order, and thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city.
The arrows were obviously aimed at the soldiers setting up the ladders. However, the Dongxuan army on the opposite side was clearly prepared for this. The shields in each person's hands were several sizes larger than usual, and the rain of arrows had almost no damage. , there were only a few unlucky guys who were shot by arrows when they lowered the long ladder and died under the city.
As more and more rolling logs, stones and long ladders were piled high under the city wall, the situation became increasingly weird.
After observing closely, Fu Baoguo discovered that the long ladder used in the attack on Dongxuan this time was not a cloud ladder, but a long ladder. The one placed at the highest position was almost one and a half feet away from the city head. The people in the city had basically nothing to do with these long ladders.
Although some clever soldiers had already pulled out the flagpole and guided it under the city wall, knocking down some of the long ladders, but more of the long ladders were only a few feet long and only stopped at the middle height of the city wall. Even the flagpole was already Out of reach.
After going back and forth like this, the things Dongxuan's army piled up under the city wall gradually formed a thick and dense layer. At a rough glance, it looked like a gentle slope!
Qiu Jianhan gave another order, and five thousand Yutang cavalry roared out of the city gate.
"No matter what, we can't let these things take root under the city wall, let me destroy them all!"
Seeing the Yutang cavalry dispatched, the black cavalry on the other side separated out a team of people at almost the same time, and rushed over to intercept them forcefully!
Old enemies meet again, and the two sides naturally start fighting.
However, most of the Dongxuan army remained indifferent to the situation, as if they had disappeared, and only focused on transporting supplies to the city wall. Later, even thatch, dry branches and other things were thrown here.
"Is this... a fire attack?!" Fu Baoguo was dumbfounded: Is this useful
"Of course it's a fire attack... Moreover, this is only the first step of Han Shanhe's countermeasures..." Qiu Jianhan looked worriedly at the fierce battle between the black cavalry and the iron cavalry below the city, and sighed deeply.
"Han Shanhe is indeed a veteran on the battlefield. As expected...he thought of this method."
"The most extreme situation is about to begin. I wonder if Iron Bone Pass can really be defended for a month?!"
…
A few moments later, the Dongxuan soldiers who had left behind all their belongings quickly withdrew. While the battle between the iron cavalry and the black cavalry over there was still going on... a loud trombone suddenly sounded from the Dongxuan military camp.
A sharp voice suddenly shouted: "Light the fire! Shoot the arrows!"
With a bang, the archers in Dongxuan's army were well prepared and immediately lit the arrows that were already on the strings and soaked in lint and kerosene.
The next moment, whoosh whoosh…
Countless rockets instantly covered the entire sky and flew towards this direction.
boom!
A fire burst into the sky under the city wall!
The sudden heat wave scorched Fu Baoguo's face, giving him the feeling of being on the edge of a sea of fire.
But Fu Baoguo was still puzzled by Dongxuan's move and Hanshanhe's strategy: "What's the use of such a fire attack? In the face of such a fire, we only need to retreat from the city for a while, but Dongxuan Why is it impossible for Fang to attack through the wall of fire? If he had to force it, with the current intensity of the fire, they would have to burn themselves to death first!?"
Qiu Jianhan sighed: "To serve the country and be a general, one must not only know the soldiers, but also know the weather, time, place, etc... There are many other things that need to be known."
Fu Baoguo's feeling of uneasiness suddenly increased. Could it be that he had really missed something important? "What? I don't know what?"
"Actually, setting fire is just Han Shanhe's first tactic. After that, Dongxuan's army will continue to put burning things under the city wall..."
Qiu Jianhan sighed: "Tieguguan Pass is known as the Invincible Pass. In addition to being indestructible, the right time and place and atmosphere here are also the key to the city's undefeatability. No matter whether it is flooded or attacked by fire, any offensive will be difficult to succeed. ! However, now that there are some gaps, we can only use ice to solidify the city, and we must do this."
"And when this water falls, although it seems that the entire city is melted into one and becomes more and more indestructible, at the same time, it also causes considerable hidden dangers... When the water condenses into ice, forming a thick layer of ice, it is also filled with water. The gaps between the stones of the city wall... make these gaps wider."
"When the ice melts in the next spring, the ice-melting water will certainly leave and return to the ground... but the solidity of the city wall will also be gradually lost. It may even be on the verge of collapse... "
"Han Shanhe's move will accelerate the process. If the fire cannot be stopped, the moment when the flames will completely melt into ice, the real end of Iron Bone Pass will come! At that time, all it takes is one attack. It can cause the originally defective places to collapse, or even more than one place to collapse!"
"So this Ice City strategy is just a strategy to quench thirst by drinking poison, but Han Shanhe is still trying to speed up the onset of poison, maximizing speed..."
Qiu Jianhan said: "Now, do you understand?"
Fu Baoguo's face turned pale, and he was no longer as calm as before: "This..."
"Extinguishing!"
Qiu Jianhan sighed.
A large amount of water had been prepared in advance, and countless white streams of water rushed down the city, all falling into the burning fire. Tens of thousands of people poured water at the same time, and there were several inexhaustible water in Iron Bone Pass. There was an endless well of water, but after a stalemate for a while, the monstrous fire was quickly contained, leaving only the remaining black smoke rising.
On the top of the city, the thick water vapor caused by the hot and cold phase almost completely enveloped the entire city!
As the temperature dropped rapidly, the ice that had been melted by the fire began to solidify again.
Fu Baoguo looked over, scratched his head and said, "Yes, as long as we extinguish the flames, everything will be restored to its original state."
Qiu Jianhan said calmly: "How can it be restored to the original state? Look below! Now that you have me by your side, why have you lost your usual composure? For a general, the first thing is to have a mountain collapse in front of you without changing your appearance."
Fu Baoguo looked down and saw that the long ladders that had not yet been completely burned, especially the rolling logs and stones, were all piled up under the city wall. As far as he could see, they had already risen to a height.
As the flames extinguished, cold water was continuously poured down. In addition to bursts of white smoke rising, some edges had begun to freeze.
What a big lump!
Fu Baoguo seemed to understand something and looked at the bulging slope in confusion. Mobile phone users please visit m.read for a better reading experience.
