Chapter 439 Fire Pit

Since the Nanyan people want to enter the city so much, let them in!

The people within three miles have been evacuated, but they are still worry-free and will fight with Nanyan.

Under the warm sunlight, Yu Zheng's face was as cold as frost.

"It's been dug, and we are spreading grass and pouring kerosene." The general replied.

"Bang!" While the two were talking, there was another fierce ramming.

Yu Zheng leaned against the city wall and looked down, and saw that the Nanyan people were concentrated on ramming an old wall on the left side of the city gate. Because it had been rammed for a long time before, it was a little loose and dusty.

After another ramming, a brick fell off the wall. The Nanyan people saw the dawn of victory, and their expressions were excited, and they rammed more vigorously.

Yu Zheng walked to the inside of the city wall and saw soldiers spreading grass and pouring kerosene in the last section of the ditch. Soon, the whole ditch was ready.

"Your Majesty, go down first, in case the wall collapses." The city wall under his feet shook violently, and the general was worried about Yu Zheng's safety.

Yu Zheng said fearlessly: "I will observe the battle situation from above, you go down and lead the troops."

The city wall is very long, and it is impossible for it to collapse completely. As long as it is farther away from the collision position of Nanyan, it will be fine.

The general wanted to persuade him again, but time was tight and Yu Zheng was very persistent, so he had to give up and turned around and hurried down the city wall.

When he came to the bottom of the wall, the general ordered people to prepare torches and stand by, and personally led a team of elite soldiers to guard the place that was about to be knocked open, waiting for the rabbit.

"Bang-bang-bang"

again and again, heavy blows hit people's hearts, each time making people shudder and swallow their saliva nervously.

After countless loud tremors, the old city wall could no longer hold on and collapsed with a loud bang, leaving a big hole.

"Charge!" The people of Nanyan were excited and rushed in impatiently.

"Kill! Not a single one can be allowed into the city!" the general shouted in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The elites took the order and held the knives tightly in their hands.

The trench was dug along the city wall, about half a meter away from the wall, just enough for two people to stand.

The Nanyan people rushed in without thinking, and were either chopped to death by the elite soldiers waiting with knives, or fell into the ditch and were stabbed to death by the soldiers guarding the ditch with long spears.

All the Nanyan people who rushed in died without exception.

The Nanyan army outside the city noticed something was wrong, and while continuing to ram the city wall in an attempt to widen the passage, they released poisonous snakes into the city to explore the way.

"Lay out shields!" the general ordered urgently.

All the elite soldiers immediately took up their shields and put them in front of them, first to protect themselves from being bitten by the snakes, and second to block their way, forcing the poisonous snakes to enter the ditch.

The soldiers on the edge of the ditch also raised their shields, forming an indestructible iron wall to prevent the poisonous snakes from coming ashore and trap them all in the ditch.

The venomous snakes that were wriggling aimlessly and running around everywhere soon filled the entire ditch, like a pool of rippling black water, turning the dirt ditch into a stinking ditch, which made people feel disgusted and scalp tingling.

Yu Zheng stood on the city wall, concentrating on the movements of Nanyan. After confirming that they had released all the venomous snakes, Yu Zheng quickly walked to the inner wall and shouted an order.

"Release!"

The soldiers holding torches received the order and quickly threw the torches in their hands into the ditch.

"Boom--" The burning torches came into contact with kerosene and dry grass, and the flames instantly rose, and the scorching flames spread rapidly. In just a moment, the entire ditch became a sea of ​​fire.

Hundreds of poisonous snakes were trapped in the sea of ​​fire. After being burned by the flames, they twisted their bodies wildly, spitting out their tongues in panic and making a hissing sound, which made people's hair stand on end.

Survival is the instinct of all creatures. The poisonous snakes that could not bear the burning violently jumped up, trying to cross the iron shield and find a way to survive.

The generals of Dazhao held their breath and concentrated, one person held a shield and the other held a gun, and drove the rising poisonous snakes back into the ditch.

After being troubled and tortured by the poisonous snakes in Nanyan for several months, they finally got such an opportunity to catch all the poisonous snakes in one net, and they would not let them go.

Gradually, the snake's struggling and twisting became smaller, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat, which made the soldiers who had not eaten lunch hungry.

If the snake was not poisonous, I really wanted to pick two to taste.

The Nanyan army outside the city thought that the snake had opened a path for them, and rushed in with confidence.

In addition, the road was widened, so many people could rush in at the same time, and their courage grew.

Yu Zheng ordered some of the soldiers outside the city to be withdrawn to fight against the Nanyan army that rushed into the city.

The Nanyan army rushed in, and the people in front were squeezed into the ditch. They shouted urgently: "Ditch, there is a ditch, be careful of the ditch..."

However, the shouting and the sound of weapons clashing were too loud, and the people behind could not hear clearly. They thought that the people in front were shouting slogans, so they rushed in even harder.

The flames in the ditch had not yet been extinguished and were still burning. The Nanyan people who fell into the fire pit not only had to guard against being trampled by the people who fell in, but also had to deal with the attacks of the Dazhao generals at the edge of the ditch, and they had to be careful not to be burned by the flames.

For a moment, the Nanyan people who fell into the fire pit were like ants on a hot pot, desperate and anxious, not knowing what to do.

The pit was not deep, and many Nanyan people fell into it, so it was quickly filled up. The Nanyan people in the back stepped on the bodies of their companions and crossed the earth trench to fight fiercely with the generals of Dazhao.

Among the Nanyan people who were trampled in the earth trench, there were still some who were not dead. After being trampled, they screamed in pain and died in despair and pain.

The first group of people who entered the city saw the unburned remains of poisonous snakes in the earth trench, but before they could report it, they were squeezed into the trench by the people behind them and died.

The people behind them were unaware of it and just rushed in with their heads covered. There

were too many people rushing in, and the area under the city wall could not accommodate them. The generals of Dazhao were forced to fight and retreat. The

Nanyan people became more and more excited when they saw this. In their eyes, Yicheng was already in their pockets.

Inside and outside the city, it all became battlefields, with swords flashing and guns fighting fiercely.

Yu Zheng stood high on the city wall, calmly observing the battle situation and giving orders.

"Report! The reinforcements dispatched by Lord Zhou have arrived." The scout knelt down and reported urgently.

Yu Zheng looked to the side and saw the reinforcements not far away, rushing here quickly.

Yu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and inquired about the situation at the East Gate. After learning that the situation at the East Gate was stable, he felt relieved and concentrated on fighting the enemy.

The Nanyan Snake Division outside the city was still blowing the whistle with all its might. The right general looked at the broken city wall, and could not contain his joy. He ordered the remaining infantry to continue to rush in.

An old general reminded him, "General, we don't know how many people are in Dazhao City. Should we be more cautious?"

The right general frowned and said, "You are too cautious and have no strategy. If you are like this, you will always be just a small general."

"We have 40,000 troops and the beast army to help us. Dazhao has only 30,000 or 40,000 people at most. What is there to be afraid of?"

"This..." The right general's words made sense, and the old general was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, you also take the troops." The right general waved his hand impatiently.

Originally, Xiao Lin wanted to send the experienced left general to attack the south gate, but the right general didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity to make a contribution, so he fought hard to get here.

So he must win this battle.

At this time, he had already seen the dawn of victory, and his mind was full of great military achievements. He would not listen to any advice and even wanted to go into battle himself to add a little more glory.
