Chapter 411: Enemy at the Gate (2)
"Most of it was stored in the military camp in the prefectural city, and some was found in Da'an County where the black oil was discovered."
Although he didn't know why she asked, Yan Lang still responded. They already knew that the fuel consumed by the off-road vehicles was refined from the black oil, so they attached great importance to it and had always stored it in a military camp garrisoned by a large army.
Da'an County is not far from Dafeng County. It takes at most half an hour to get there by horseback, and a little more than half an hour to get there and back by off-road vehicle. After a moment's thought, Shen Xiangwan said, "Yuanyue, call Lin Wei and have him run to Da'an County as quickly as possible and bring all the black oil here."
"yes."
Yuan Yue bowed and accepted the order, took out the walkie-talkie and temporarily left the noisy city wall.
"Madam, what are you doing?"
General Peng asked again, becoming increasingly confused about her intentions.
"After the black oil arrives, bring the Western Hu people closer and attack them. If bows and arrows can't stop them, have the soldiers pour black oil on them and use fire to attack them. We must harvest as many Western Hu lives as possible."
Shen Xiangwan did not keep them in suspense and directly explained his intention. In this way, they could cause huge damage to the Western Hu people. Even if they killed one more person, it would add an extra point of weight to the final encirclement. Moreover, only when the Western Hu people were beaten and frightened would they temporarily withdraw their troops, giving them time to clean up the battlefield.
"good."
Her method was undoubtedly ruthless, but General Peng adopted it without much thought. On the battlefield, they had to be more ruthless than the enemy to truly gain the advantage of victory. Everything else was false.
After that, the few of them stopped talking and watched the attack and defense in silence. Gradually, General Peng and Yan Lang discovered that although the Western Hu people seemed to be attacking fiercely, they did not actually get much closer. Although it was possible that their arrows were too dense, making it difficult for the other side to move, they would rather believe that the Western Hu people did it on purpose. Their purpose was probably to consume their arrows. When they had no arrows left, they could quickly attack the city.
"Ma'am, all the black oil you requested has been delivered."
About an hour later, Lin Wei came to the city wall in person. He had returned to Dafeng County as early as two quarters of an hour ago. So the black oil needed a reason to appear on the city wall. He first put them all into the warehouse, and then found a large number of donkey carts as quickly as possible to pull the black oil to the city wall.
"General Peng, I'll leave it to you from now on."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan turned and faced General Peng. The method had been told to him, and how to implement it was the task of him as the general.
"yes."
With a fist clasp and a bow, General Peng strode away. Soon, soldiers in charge of transporting supplies brought jars of black oil to the city wall. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers' archery speed gradually slowed down, and the originally dense rain of arrows became sparse, as if telling others that they had no arrows left.
"Pah, they're finally exhausted."
The general in charge of the Western Hu army sneered, raised his sharp sword and shouted, "Warriors, they are out of arrows, charge!"
“Charge!”
Perhaps it was because the previous border troops were too weak, the Western Hu people had no doubt that they did it on purpose. At the call of the general, they rushed towards the city wall like a tide. The 200,000-strong army was connected into one, and the scene was extremely spectacular. It was obvious that they were preparing to break through the city wall in one fell swoop and march straight into Chenzhou.
"Boys, get ready!"
General Peng held the intercom with an expressionless face. He waited until the Western Hu people in front were less than 50 meters away from the city wall before he shouted sternly: "Shoot!"
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
“Ahhh…”
Dense arrows shot out like rain again. The difference was that this time, the sharp screams of the Western Hu people were quickly heard downstairs. Even if they had shields in their hands, they could not withstand all the arrows. However, their numbers were too large, like a swarm of locusts. Some people still put siege ladders on the city wall and quickly climbed up to the tower.
"Pour black oil and fire rockets!"
General Peng shouted again, and the soldiers, as trained by the police, poured black oil downstairs. Without giving the Xihu people time to react, another team of soldiers fired rockets in perfect coordination.
“Ahhh…”
"Fire, it's on fire...ah..."
"Ah... Back off, back off quickly..."
“Ahh…”
Wherever the rockets hit, the Western Hu people burst into flames with a bang. Because there were too many of them and they were crowded together, if one person caught fire, the people nearby would not be spared. Seeing their compatriots in front of them all turned into firemen, the Western Hu people behind them wanted to retreat, and in their panic they knocked over countless people, resulting in many Western Hu people being trampled to death by their own war horses.
The city walls had become a living hell, the screams of the Western Hu people incessant. On the tower, the soldiers had stopped, their heads bowed, watching the Western Hu people struggling in the flames or retreating frantically. Not a single one expressed sympathy. Before this, the Western Hu people had treated Chenzhou like their own backyard, coming and going as they pleased. How many helpless civilians had they brutally slaughtered? Now, they were simply paying for their blood debt with blood.
“Hmm…”
There was a strong smell of burning in the air. Shen Xiangwan, who had not had any pregnancy reactions since she became pregnant, suddenly felt a little nauseous: "Uncle Yan, I'll leave the rest to you. I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'll go back first."
"good."
Hearing this, a hint of naked worry flashed across Yan Lang's eyes. They all knew that she was pregnant, and if she hadn't insisted, they would never let her come up to the city wall.
"let's go."
After nodding to them again, Shen Xiangwan turned around first and left the city wall with Yuan Yue Yuanying.
“Hmm…”
"lady!"
As soon as she got down from the city wall, her stomach churned again. Shen Xiangwan quickly covered her mouth, and Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying supported her worriedly.
"It's okay, don't make a sound!"
Not wanting to cause trouble for everyone at this time, Shen Xiangwan suppressed the churning in her stomach and walked towards the SUV parked not far away. Looking at her figure, Yuan Yue Yuanying's face and eyes were filled with deep worry. She could have been resting peacefully in the back to take care of the baby, why did she have to torture herself like this?
"vomit!"
The moment she got on the SUV, Shen Xiangwan couldn't hold it in any longer. She took out a plastic bag and started vomiting. Yuan Yue, who was sitting in the back with her, patted her back quickly. Yuan Ying, who was driving, also looked at her worriedly through the rearview mirror.
"It's just a normal reaction during pregnancy. Go back."
After spitting out everything she could, Shen Xiangwan rinsed her mouth again. Seeing that both of them looked worried, a faint smile appeared on her pale face. After tying the plastic bag tightly and throwing it into the space, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying's eyes met silently in the rearview mirror. They both sighed at the same time and could only start the car and take her home first. No matter what, they would not let her go out again today.
