Given time, they plundered the people and artisans of the Central Plains and made siege weapons such as catapults and battering rams.
Yanmen Pass, Pian Pass, and Loufan Pass – these three outer passes will likely be unable to withstand their relentless attacks!
However, the Xiongnu's tactics are no problem at all for Xue Rengui, who is already five or six hundred years ahead of them.
"Li Quhou of the Sword and Shield Battalion, provide cover for the Archer Battalion to fire arrows in return!"
"Send Commandant Liu's men to bring 100 barrels of 'golden juice' and pour it over the top of the west gate!"
What is "golden juice"?
Zhang Liao was completely bewildered; it was the first time he had ever heard this term.
Meanwhile, the soldiers around him all started pinching their noses.
? ? ? ?
Before Zhang Liao could react, a powerful stench assaulted his nostrils.
Two hundred Xianbei soldiers, their noses stuffed with cloth, came rushing over, each carrying a bucket of incredibly sticky substance.
The large bucket was steaming hot, as if it had just come out of the pot.
ah!
Zhang Liao quickly covered his mouth, desperately trying to suppress the churning in his stomach, but his eyes were already stinging and tears were streaming down his face.
The stench was unbearable!
It turns out that "golden juice" is actually just human excrement collected and boiled in a large pot.
This stuff not only tastes authentic, but if it touches your skin, it will tear open, then ooze pus and develop sores, leading to death.

To everyone's surprise, Xue Rengui took it as gospel and ordered Liu Du to collect excrement and set up a large cauldron!
Liu Du was certainly unwilling, but military orders were absolute, and Liu Wei had already authorized Xue Rengui to take charge of the war.
He had no choice but to comply.
The Xianbei soldier picked up a wooden ladle, scooped up a large ladleful, and splashed it onto the Xiongnu people who were holding up shields to cover the others as they pounded on the door.
A shield can stop arrows from the city wall, but it can't stop scalding excrement from being poured down from the sky!
These poor Huns never expected that something would fall from the sky.
Some were covered in the splatter, while others were caught off guard, their shields covered in the yellowish substance.
The stench filled the air instantly.
Ahhh!
The soldiers who were fiercely hacking and slashing below the city gate suddenly went berserk!
