She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 85 Timing
That being said, the corps commander does not have much experience. Even Lieutenant Meng, who has been in the army for more than [-] years, has very little experience in being so fully prepared to fight against the barbarians.

But this is indeed effective. When the hot liquid was poured down at the right time, the sound of wailing and the sound of human bodies rolling to the ground rang out one after another. The soldiers closest to the city wall could even hear slight flesh The sizzling sound of being scalded.

This kind of voice, even if it comes from different positions but is the same human being, still sounds a bit creepy and heart-wrenching.

When the first wave of defense was over, the city walls were already filled with moaning bodies, and some people even rotted to death because the unclean hot liquid entered their flesh, and the city walls were too slippery to climb due to the splashing of liquid.

"Is this... a success?"

A new recruit who had just been drafted this year asked the veteran next to him in a low voice.

The other party opened his drooped eyelids, glanced at him, and replied:

"What good things are you thinking about? These are all death squads sent to consume our bows, arrows, adzes and axes. The barbarians originally didn't expect them to make much contribution. If a few people sneak in and steal the city gate from inside, that's all. They are burning incense. The real cavalry is still behind."

This is true, because even Captain Meng, who won the initial victory, did not relax, and frowned at the cavalry who accompanied Huang Sha to the city wall in an instant.

They didn't even care about the horseshoes trampling on the bodies of their own people, they just waved their weapons vigorously to smash into the city gate.

And behind the gate, sufficient manpower had already been arranged to hold the city gate with long poles, trying their best to delay the time for the barbarians to crash in.

There were also strong Hu soldiers, who simply stood on horseback with people on the ground, preparing to climb up the city wall and fight directly.

I have to say that this is considered a racial talent.Even Captain Meng, who has rich experience, finds this situation tricky, so he can only tell people to hurry up and let the people in the city continue to boil the golden juice, and at the same time keep shouting for the soldiers on the city wall to use adz axes to chop off the fast-climbing The arms and heads of the barbarians who came up.

Even so, there were some fish that slipped through the net. Soon several, a dozen, or dozens of Hu soldiers jumped onto the city wall and began to fight in close combat with the soldiers from Chengyang County.

Melee combat is indeed unfriendly to soldiers in the Central Plains.

Although the local soldiers originally from Chengyang County were experienced, they were thin and often lacked strength when clashing with barbarian weapons;

Xu Shu's contributions to Bubu were raised to be strong and able to obey orders, but they lacked experience in actual combat. When they were attacked by barbarians, some of them showed panic and lost the sense to respond in time. Easily cut.

Chief Feng Tun’s injury has not fully healed yet, but he commanded his subordinates more calmly, and considering that this was a battle where the Princess Mansion showed its strength in Chengyang County, he also took the lead in fighting against the barbarians, and had to spare Kung fu to scold:

"Idiot, why are you in a daze, quickly raise your knife to block!"

"Hu Er, pay attention behind you!"

Captain Meng saw the chaos on the city wall and saw his own soldiers who had been injured and killed. He could only deploy people to fill the vacancies and continue to block the barbarians who tried to climb up. At the same time, he sent people to deliver the message quickly and asked more people to be sent. soldiers on the city wall.

Under the thick adobe bricks, the city gate was hit several times and there was almost no small gap for one person to get through. This was the dangerous moment. Once someone got in, the team that resisted the attack on the city gate It's easy to get disrupted.

Fortunately, there were enough long poles prepared this time, and they were inserted densely into the city gates. Xu Shu generously provided some long spears stored by the Princess Mansion. The Hu man whose horse rushed into the city gate stabbed off his horse.

This is not a long-term solution, so both the people on the city wall and the people guarding the city gate are waiting for an opportunity.
