Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 245 is not what I thought

Guo Rong looked at Luo Youdu in surprise, wondering what he wanted these corpses for.
My confidant has always been benevolent, so I wouldn't use these corpses to do something shameful, right?

He didn't think much, and asked someone to clean up the battlefield, clearing out the weapons, clothing and armor, and handing over the body to Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu did not do anything immoral, but ordered to stuff these corpses with wet firewood, and transport them to the north of Youzhou City to pile them up.

The north tower of Youzhou City.

Shi Fang and Xiao Hunian meet again.

They had already received the news that Khitan reinforcements had arrived at the front line and stationed ten li away from the Northern Camp of the Central Plains in the north of the city, confronting the Central Plains army tit for tat.

This kind of exciting and morale-boosting news, Shi Fang naturally would not let it go.

The reinforcements arrived early this morning, and the news of their victory was conveyed to the entire army, and a notice was posted to appease the people in the city.

As the No. [-] scholar, Shi Fang's literary talents needless to say, with more than a hundred words in eloquence, he praised their sleeping emperor to the sky without blushing.

When the news spread, the pessimistic morale of the soldiers defending the city was boosted in vain.

Originally in a death situation, Youzhou City was full of pessimism, and suddenly learned that His Majesty the Emperor came to rescue with a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, the feeling of surviving from death is different.

They got the news early in the morning about the change in Beiying village today, and they all knew that reinforcements must have come to attack the enemy village.

Although the Zhou army camp blocked their sight and couldn't see the battle situation clearly, they still came to the North Tower hoping to get a glimpse of the leopard.

Regardless of the outcome, be prepared to appease.

Until watching one by one Zhou Bing move the corpses closer and pile them up.

Shi Fang and Xiao Hunian's heart sank.

In this situation, don't think about it, it must be defeated.

A trace of anger flashed in Xiao Hunian's eyes, and he said, "Are they trying to build a Beijing temple to show off?"

Shi Fang said: "Nine times out of ten, I want to use this to frighten our army and make our army fearful. I'm afraid they will backfire. The more they do, the more they will arouse our army's hatred and hatred."

Not long after he finished speaking, he discovered that the other party had piled up the corpses, not to show off, but to burn them.

The two armies fought, and it was normal to burn the corpses.

With the development of medical skills, people in this era know that the environment and corpses are most likely to cause plague during combat.

Therefore, burning corpses to prevent epidemics is a kind of charity in wartime.

Shi Fang and Xiao Hunian looked at the three huge fires in the distance, and a thought came to their minds.

What is the other party doing?
The two didn't know why, and time passed by little by little.

The fire is getting hotter and hotter!

Burn from day to night, and from night to day.

Both Shi Fang and Xiao Hunian saw fear in each other's eyes.

How many did they die?
How did it burn for so long?
Still burning?
As soon as the reinforcements arrived, they were defeated?
Even they feel this way, especially the soldiers on the tower.

The original sense of joy of the arrival of the reinforcements was gone.

With such good reinforcements, what can we expect?
With more than a thousand corpses, Luo Youdu burned them down to the point that ten or twenty thousand died...

Dark clouds shrouded.

After yesterday's lesson, Yelvjing and the others have already realized the problem.

The weather gets hotter as you go down, and screaming against the sun outside the camp is tantamount to wasting your energy for nothing, and the opponent can seize the opportunity to give a fatal blow anytime and anywhere.

The next day, they no longer expected to lure Zhou Bing out of the village with their mouths, and they no longer hesitated, and started to attack the North Village.

They divided into three groups and attacked Dazhai and the small villages on the left and right together.

Luo Youdu didn't plan to attack the city, so he stood behind Guo Rong to observe the Khitan's attacking techniques from a close distance.

The way the Khitans attack camps is very old-fashioned, that is, simply attaching ants.

They held their shields high, held all kinds of weapons, and swarmed up with shouts in their mouths.

Facing the dense crowd of enemies, Zhou Bing naturally shot his bow and arrow unceremoniously.

The black rain of arrows poured down, facing this kind of ant-attached formation, the effect of the arrow rain was very good.

Hundreds of Khitan soldiers fell to the ground, and some of them were directly nailed to the ground without even gnawing.

The infantry all use hard bows, and it is already very remarkable for a strong soldier in the army to be able to draw three or five times.

The power of this step bow is not comparable to that of a horse bow.

Luo Youdu couldn't help admiring when he saw this.

The first hurdle the Khitan soldiers faced was the serial refusal of horses at the gate of the camp.

Unexpectedly, they suddenly stopped attacking before rejecting the horse, and seven or eight warriors rushed out from the rear covered by the Khitan soldiers.

They threw pots and jars at the gate of the village from a distance.

The earthen pots were smashed on the gates and fences of the village, some were directly shattered, and some fell to the ground and shattered.

Without exception, pitch black juice flowed out of them.

As the flames ignited, black poisonous smoke rose into the sky accompanied by the fire.

Luo Youdu is very familiar with this situation.

In the Huaihe water battle, he used this thing to defeat the Southern Tang navy.

oil!

Khitan really knew how to use it.

Just as Luo Youdu expected, since Khitan received the tribute from Southern Wu, they who were not good at siege immediately felt like a treasure.

Begin to collect such resources for military use, and prohibit foreign trafficking.

Khitan does not yet know how to mine oil, and can only do simple mining and collection.

But there is a lot of oil underground in the Northeast.From time to time, some will pop up due to various reasons. This thing is very valuable, and the Khitan court directly bought it.Every year, some hunters search for this object while hunting, and every time they find it, they can sell it for a good price.

Over the past few months, the Khitan court has stored a lot, and the military towns in the territory have stored them.

In Youdu Mansion, only Youzhou and Jizhou, two important military areas, have oil reserves. In order to attack the village today, they specially transported the oil from Jizhou.

Zhou Jun's reaction was also extremely quick, and he began to pour sand on the flames.

Skillfully and correctly performed the rescue method.

The Khitan soldiers also took advantage of the black smoke to block their sight, pushed down the horse and turned away.

The Khitan soldiers in the back also shot at the soldiers in the village at close range.

Many Zhou soldiers also died under the bow and arrow.

Especially the soldiers who put out the fire were deliberately targeted.

But soon Zhou Jun also shot his second round of arrow rain.

The dense arrows once again took away a hundred people.

This oil is terrible, but as long as it is used in the right way, it is still not enough to affect the battle situation.

Lack of water drainage, under the isolation of sand and soil, it was quickly extinguished.

It was just inevitable that irrecoverable traces were left on the gates and fences, making the solid wooden fences fragile.

A trace of surprise flashed in Guo Rong's eyes, and he said, "I didn't expect this move, so I used my hole card."

Luo Youdu replied: "It seems that I have made a lot of determination."

He watched the fading flames, and he began to estimate the oil reserves in Youzhou City in his mind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With this strength, it is far worse than what I used in the Huaihe water battle.

Presumably the number is limited, there must be some in Youzhou City, but it will not affect the overall situation.

At this time, there was a new change on the battlefield.

Seeing that the oil fire was extinguished, the Khitan soldiers rushed to Dazhai with their heads covered.

They carried rams against oil-burned fences.

Zhou Bing pointed his spear at the gap in the fence and stabbed the Khitan soldier.

With every impact, Zhou Bing would use his long spear to inflict fatal wounds on the Khitan soldiers.

Obviously Khitan spent a lot of money this time, regardless of casualties, Khitan soldiers stepped forward to fill the position.

With fresh lives, he smashed through the fence that had become fragile due to the burning of oil, and opened a hole.

"broken!"

Yelu Xiezhen was overjoyed.

Under the foil of Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xiezhen, who was already proficient in military strategy, was highly valued by Yelujing, and was appointed as the offensive general.

Yelu Xiezhen ordered without hesitation: "Rush to the breach!"

He watched the opening excitedly.

In fact, without waiting for his order, the brave Khitan soldiers had already started rushing into the Zhou army's camp.

"Good job..."

Yelu Xiezhen hadn't finished his admiration yet, but his smile gradually froze.

The Khitan soldiers who rushed into the breach escaped back.

Two door-knife trucks blocked the breach tightly.

Facing the oncoming rush of this kind of saber cart, who would dare to go head-on?
Perhaps because of special reasons, the technology trees of Khitan and Central Plains are almost the same.

But for the use of these technologies, how to operate.

Compared with the Central Plains, Khitan is still a younger brother.

The Khitans attacked ferociously, but Zhou Bing took advantage of the camp and successfully repelled the Khitan soldiers time and time again.

From morning to night, six thousand Khitan soldiers fell in front of the big and small army camps.

Under the situation of occupying the defensive advantage, Zhou Jun only lost more than a thousand people.

Luo Youdu watched the whole battle, and he had a certain improvement in the combat effectiveness and tenacity of the Khitan soldiers.

They also have the courage and determination to fight to the death, but they are just used to retreating and looking for opportunities.

Guo Rong was in a good mood to end today's battle with such a casualty ratio. Before Luo Youdu could open his mouth, he said first, "Do you want these corpses?"

At this moment, how could he fail to see what tricks Luo Youdu was playing?
"Of course! The fire over there is still alive!"

Luo Youdu squinted his eyes and smiled, repeating the old trick, throwing the newly obtained corpses into the three fires again.

He seemed to dislike the burning of the three corpses too slowly, and added five more.

Eight cremation piles burned day and night.

What Luo Youdu burned were the corpses of Khitan soldiers, but what burned the hope and morale of Youzhou City.

Shi Fang and Xiao Hunian's expressions became more and more ugly.

Filled with powerlessness, Shi Fang said, "I just got the news that the [-] members of the Yishi family and the Mo family who got together have all run away, and there is no one left. Someone must have threatened them. They dare not offend the eldest lady. Don't dare to offend the Central Plains. Simply come and run, there are no soldiers in hand, and neither side will offend."

Xiao Hunian punched the city wall, and said: "With the current situation, no one believes that we will win. It is already very good to open the door to the Central Plains without stabbing a knife in the back at a critical moment. What else do you want?"

Shi Fang's face was pale, and he asked, "Do you need the remaining one thousand people?"

Xiao Hunian said angrily, "If you ask me, I'll ask whom."

She managed to get the chance to go to the battlefield, but found that the battlefield was different from what she thought.
