Chapter 711 You Fight Yours, I Fight Mine
On the city wall, Zhao Bingjun looked at the roaring leader of the Northern Barbarians. He knew him. He had led the Black Cavalry to sweep the Northern Barbarians, and they had become acquainted.
"Dachiha, whether it was I who betrayed my loyalty, or you northern barbarians harboring evil intentions, the day will tell!"
“This land can also be seen!”
"Heaven and earth are your witnesses. You know for sure whether you deserve to die or not!"
Zhao Bingjun tried every possible means to seek revenge, but the one thing he had never done in his life was to betray his friends.
He may have calculated many people and used many conspiracies and schemes, but all the good things he promised and all the things he promised were accomplished.
The northern barbarian army that entered the city was eventually annihilated.
They also tried to rush up the city wall, but the stairs leading to the city were blocked. Under the double blockade of fire and crossbows, they had no chance of climbing up the city wall at all.
The Northern Barbarian Army of more than 50,000 could easily defeat an army ten times their size on the front battlefield.
But now, this army of more than 50,000 northern barbarians was destroyed at Xueji Pass.
The air was filled with the sickening smell of meat and burning.
The fire inside Xueji Pass burned for two days and two nights. In the end, Zhao Bingjun, Xu Laoer and others had to choose to withdraw from Xueji Pass and line up outside the pass, simply because the smell inside Xueji Pass was really unbearable for people.
After all, that smell came from burning human flesh.
Except for the iron-willed Black Knights, all the other defending soldiers vomited.
Xu Laoer didn’t vomit!
He's used to it!
Zhao Bingjun didn't vomit either.
However, Xu Laoer could see that his great uncle could not bear the taste, but relied on his strong willpower to hold back the urge to vomit.
"What a ruthless person!"
Realizing that his great-uncle had suppressed the feeling of nausea and vomiting with his own willpower, Xu Laoer became more cautious about his impression of his great-uncle.
His younger sister said that anyone who can be cruel to himself is a truly cruel person.
At this point, Xu Laoer felt that he was still a little short of the standard.
However, he did not feel ashamed of himself because of this. Although he was not cruel enough to himself, he felt that he was actually a cruel person.
After the fire in Xueji Pass was extinguished and waiting for another two days, Zhao Bingjun sent people into Xueji Pass to clean up the bodies.
In order to practice his ruthlessness, Xu Laoer forced himself to enter Xueji Pass, and then he left Xueji Pass as quickly as possible.
Well, the situation in Xueji Pass can truly be called hell on earth.
…
At Xueji Pass, Xu Laoer and Zhao Bingjun were in charge, and the soldiers under them began to clean up the corpses of the northern savages, while in Longcheng of Longxi Mansion.
Old Master Xu had just led his men to successfully capture a turtle in a jar.
The polar savages used digging tactics, thinking that no clues had been discovered, so they dug several tunnels at the same time. A large number of savage warriors crawled out of the caves, but not long after they came out of the ground, they found that they had been deceived.
There is a small piece of sky above my head, and high walls around it.
Crossbow arrows kept flying out from the wall, shooting the polar savages who came out of the ground to death on the spot.
By the time the polar savages' warriors passed the news of their ambush back to the camp at the gate one by one, and the word-of-mouth message from above to stop the attack reached the tunnel entrance, the polar savages had already lost over 5,000 people.
Although the people in the front didn't want to crawl out of the tunnel, the people behind them kept pushing forward, so they had no choice but to accept their fate and crawl outward.
Some savages were even crushed to death in underground tunnels.
The ground attack failed, and they tried to launch a sneak attack through a tunnel, but they were discovered and an ambush was set outside their exit.
How to fight such an enemy?
The leader of the Polar Savages was also a little dazed. He had never encountered such a slippery and relentless opponent. Such a defense was simply flawless.
However, they had to capture Longcheng, otherwise their retreat would be cut off.
"Commander-in-Chief, how about we attack another city?"
A wise man from the barbarians looked at their leading general and said, "The Tang people only have two cities left in this area. The troops here are obviously the main force. We can attack the other city that is slightly weaker. If the Tang people here don't send troops to rescue, we can capture the other city!"
"If the Tang army sends troops to rescue us, we will set up an ambush along the way!"
"Yes, that's great!"
"That's it!"
The general, the leader of the polar savages, decisively accepted the wise man's advice.
In order to lure the enemy, when they attacked Pingman City, they carefully transferred their troops and deliberately made a little noise, fearing that Mr. Xu would not be fooled.
On the city wall of Longcheng, Mr. Xu easily discovered signs that the barbarians were transferring their troops and heading towards Pingman City.
"You conceited fool!"
The defense of Pingman City will be even stronger than that of Longcheng.
After all, Pingman City was originally a military fortress built by the Tang Dynasty to suppress the northern barbarians, and later it gradually became an ordinary city.
But now, Pingman City has regained its status as a military stronghold.
In Longcheng, there were no water tanks placed under the city walls to monitor underground movements.
But in Pingman City, all these things are available.
Not only that, Pingman City also has a secretly built underground secret passage that can directly connect to the outside of the city. When necessary, surprise troops can be sent out to catch the enemy off guard.
The barbarian army wants to attack Pingman City, which is really like throwing eggs against rocks.
"My Lord, are we really not going to bother with Pingman City?"
"Need not!"
Old Master Xu replied calmly, "Oh right, tell the brothers to get ready. We're heading to the barbarian camp in the evening!"
The savages wanted to plot against him, and he also wanted to plot against the savages!
Old Master Xu didn't think that the barbarians had really given up the idea of attacking Longcheng, so the barbarian army's attack on Pingman City was ninety-nine percent likely to lure the enemy out of the city to rescue them, and then ambush them halfway.
Unfortunately, they didn't know the details of Pingman City.
Old Master Xu was not worried at all that Pingman City would be conquered by the barbarians. Based on his eldest son's intelligence, if the barbarians could conquer Pingman City, Old Master Xu felt that he might as well just surrender.
As the sky gradually darkened, the west gate of Longcheng slowly opened. Old Master Xu personally led a team of 8,000 cavalrymen, carrying small kerosene cans, and headed straight for the barbarian camp outside the west gate.
It’s still a fire attack!
Old Master Xu resolutely adopted the advice of Old Master Xu. When fighting against the savages, he would attack from a distance if possible and never engage in close combat.
Therefore, Chuiying does not exist.
Setting a fire is something you could consider.
