I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 157 Burning City

Donghu King's order was issued.

Immediately, 1 Mongolian cavalry on horseback were assembled after sunset.

At the same time, the defending soldiers and civilians on the Great Wall were exhausted.

Almost all the soldiers and civilians have collapsed from exhaustion.

In continuous fighting, they killed at least [-] to [-] Donghu people.

However, this also cost them thousands of casualties.

Moreover, the rest of the troops, as many as they are, are also suffering from pain.

And most importantly.

They are really tired now.

The Donghu people continued to attack.

It made them guarding them on the city wall, wishing they could just fall down and sleep with him for three days and three nights.

When night fell.

Many people even directly fell asleep.

But at this time.

Zhang Luo, the county guard, was wearing a copper armor and led a group of extremely mighty soldiers to the city wall, patrolling the defenses and encouraging the guarding soldiers.

The women and children in the rear carried the prepared meals to the city wall and distributed them to the soldiers.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in the air.

Immediately, Zhang Luo sensed something was wrong.

He realized.

It's King Donghu's soldiers coming to kill him!
For a while, Zhang Luo immediately ordered to defend.

Meanwhile, in the dark.

On top of sections of the city wall.

Along the gentle slope formed by the accumulation of corpses, the Donghu cavalry rushed directly to the Great Wall, and immediately, they began to fight among the crowd.

It was Zhang Luo who was shocked for a while.

Another slap on the thigh.

Secretly regret.

He should send men to pour kerosene on the pile of corpses outside the Great Wall.

Burn these corpses.

If not, the Donghu people would not have taken advantage of this opportunity to rush to the city wall.

Just when Zhang Luo was extremely regretful.

Donghu King in the distance laughed out loud.

"It seems that we will soon be able to break through Yuyang County of the Qin people!"

"The warriors of Donghu, the fields and villages of the Qin people, the people in Lilu, and the women of the Qin people are opening their arms to us and killing me!"

"kill!"

When I think of the people of Qin who are available for plunder within the Great Wall.

For a while, the Xiongnu soldiers under King Donghu.

Under the strong city for a long time, the soldiers who had been in decline suddenly improved a lot.

The Great Wall defense line is at stake!
"Sheriff, I can't keep it anymore!"

"Sheriff, what should I do?"

"Governor, why don't we shrink the line of defense and let these Donghu people invade? Let's stick to Yuyang County. Anyway, the people nearby have already been evacuated. The reinforcements led by the Nineteenth Prince will arrive soon. We just need to hold on." In Yuyang County, the Donghu people are just doing harm to the crops in the field!"

"That's right, Governor, if we keep going now, our manpower will be killed by the Donghu people sooner or later. By then, let alone the Great Wall, Yuyang County will not be able to keep it!"

On the side, another general's voice sounded.

He was telling the truth.

At the moment, there is close combat.

Daqin's firearms and Daqin's bombs are useless.

And the Donghu people have an advantage in numbers.

Moreover, they rode horses along the gentle slope formed by the corpses and rushed to the Great Wall.

In this situation.

Defend the Great Wall.

Sooner or later all the members will die in battle, it is better to retreat to the city of Yuyang County where the fortifications have been completed.

Anyway, the people nearby have already been gathered in the county town.

No need to worry about safety issues at all!
As for the people in the hinterland?
Then there is no need to worry!

Because everyone knows that the army under Ying Changsheng's command is already very close to here, but it is only a few tens of miles away, and it will probably arrive tomorrow morning!

Hearing this, Zhang Luo gritted his teeth, and then said.

"That's all I can do, but when we retreat, I will use another plan!"

With that said, Zhang Luo gave an order.

"Pour all the fire oil under the Great Wall under the control of our army, and then send a few dead soldiers to prepare to ignite it, and leave all the bombs behind. As long as the fire oil is lit, the bomb will go off. At that time, Donghu People are bound to suffer heavy losses in the fire oil and bombs!"

"The sheriff is wise!"

When the generals on the side heard the words, their eyes lit up and they praised.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get ready!"

Zhang Luo urged impatiently.

In his opinion, now is not the time for his subordinates to flatter him.

Instead, stick to the Great Wall.

When defending against the enemy.

How can you listen to people's flattery?
When the Qin army was arranging to retreat.

King Donghu, who was standing in the distance, finally beamed with joy in his bloodshot eyes.

I only saw that King Donghu was retreating when the Qin army retreated.

Wielding a scimitar, he urged his cavalry to occupy the entire section of the Great Wall as soon as possible.

Then, enter the Great Wall.

Teams of East Hu cavalry.

Influx into the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is very wide.

It can accommodate several horses to pass side by side.

At this moment, when the Great Wall is crowded with people.

The dead soldiers are hidden among the dead.

But immediately, he took out a fire pocket from his arms.

Immediately, he suddenly turned over and jumped off the Great Wall. At the same time, the fire bag in his hand was thrown on the ground of the Great Wall. Immediately, after falling heavily to the ground.

The soldiers whose legs were not broken quickly took steps and fled to the distant county town.

And when they ran back to the county city desperately.

above the Great Wall.

Falling to the ground with the fire.

The poured fire oil.

It was directly ignited in an instant.

All of a sudden, a sky-high fire burned in the air!

After the fire started.

The Donghu soldiers above, wearing leather robes, were also instantly ignited.

Similarly, the horse was also scorched by the fire on the ground, and began to neigh violently, rushing around on the Great Wall.

At the same time, bombs were left behind on the ground.

Also at this moment, was ignited.

Immediately, the bang bang bang bang incessantly.

What I saw in the distance was that King Donghu's heart was breaking.

the reason is simple.

On the Great Wall at this time.

However, it is crowded with more than [-] Donghu cavalry!

And now.

There are more than [-] Donghu cavalry.

All of them were buried in the sea of ​​fire.

How could he not be angry, King Donghu?
And, most importantly.

On top of the burning of kerosene.

On the nearby Great Wall, the kerosene was combined with the corpses, and the flames that burned were really not small.

The scorching heat wave can be felt from far away.

They simply can't get closer to the Great Wall.

In other words, right now, he couldn't send troops inside the Great Wall, he could only stand in vain on the grassland north of the Great Wall, looking at the burning Great Wall in the distance, and uttered curses!
