The flames of war continued to spread, and by daybreak, the corpses had piled up into hills beneath the city wall, and even the corpses could climb up to the city wall.
Su Mianyue had seen this scene in the city building and silently estimated how many Hengyuan stormtroopers had been killed. He had also been watching the central area of the Hengyuan army.
"General, deputy general hong killed three sneaky soldiers and five civilians at the base of the city wall last night. He also killed several groups of enemy troops who were planning to attack from a remote area..."
"General, the arrows and stones obtained from the enemy have been used up."
"Report to general, the enemy has changed their strategy, divided into five teams to attack the city wall and prepared to set fire to the city gate."
The war papers were passed to Su Mianyue one by one. Su Mianyue thought for a moment and replied, "Go on, pour fire oil, fire rockets - burn!"
At Su Mianyue's command, the soldiers who had just changed their posts on the city wall began to carry buckets and buckets of kerosene and pour it down the city wall. Some of them directly threw a big hole in the barrel and threw it far away. Then the rocket flew out, and the kerosene would speed up on the ice. At this moment, a sea of fire immediately formed when they encountered fire.
Only the mournful cries of Hengyuan soldiers and the crackling of bodies burning beneath the city wall were heard.
From afar, some of the enemy soldiers could be seen trying to escape in the direction of the army for help, but they were stabbed to death by their comrades with spears, and their bodies were thrown aside until they burned to ashes.
It was clearly a large army, but now because Su Mianyue did not play according to the routine and the chaos, many Hengyuan soldiers did not dare to step forward to attack, such a fight made them afraid that when the news reached Wanyan Lin's ears, Wanyan Lin could only angrily order the withdrawal, or else it would be them who would suffer heavy losses if the war continued.
Before the chariot left, Wanyan Lin took a deep look in the direction of Huizhou City. This was not his first battle, but the most embarrassing one he had lost.
The retreat of the enemy troops naturally made the whole army cheer, and the smell of burning body oil could not stop the soldiers from shouting victory slogans.
After counting the number of people lost, Su Mianyue only nodded to show that he knew. Less than a thousand people lost but more than 30,000 enemy soldiers were indeed considered a great victory, but with the premise of human life, Su Mianyue was not happy at all.
"Pass down the order, make a list of the soldiers who died in battle, report to the court to distribute the pension, and make sure that the hero is safe behind him." Su Mianyue's voice was not low. Many of the soldiers who heard it stopped laughing and looked at Su Mianyue with reverence. They also felt sad and happy for their comrades. Only the soldiers could understand the complicated and contradictory feelings.
Before the war was over, Su Mianyue summoned his deputy generals who were not on the battlefield today to discuss the war.
Since he had never fought with Wanyan Lin, many people did not know much about his tactics and only knew a thing or two about the military style under Prince Regent's rule, so the battle plan had to be prepared with a few more hands.
This time, Wanyan Lin withdrew his troops and set up camp fifty miles away, but he did not move for three days in a row.
He kept thinking about what Su Mianyue had said to him and the strategy he might encounter next, but he realized that he didn't know much about Su Mianyue at first. At least he didn't talk to Su Mianyue about the marching and fighting, so much so that he didn't know Su Mianyue's plan when he really fought.
For several consecutive days and nights, Wanyan Lin slept earlier tonight, but not long after he had just laid his head down, he heard the soldiers outside calling for' running water' and' protecting the car'. Wanyan Lin woke up and immediately got up to hold his sword and shouted, "Come on, what's going on outside?"
The general rushed in and reported in a panic, "Your majesty, the enemy has attacked our army in secret, and the loss of grain and grass cannot be counted yet. All the officials are escorting outside the tent. Please change your clothes for your preparation."
Wanyan Lin only felt a surge of blood in his chest. He had been thinking about how Su Mianyue and he would fight to win, but he had never thought that Su Mianyue would pull the strings and how a hundred thousand troops would survive without food and grass.
Although the Yulin provided food and supplies, it would not be so much as inexhaustible. At this moment, Wanyan Lin wished he could rush into Huizhou City and see who the leader of the war was!
"What are you doing guarding me here? Go after the enemy soldiers!" Wanyan Lin shouted, and the general hurriedly took his orders and left, but it was unknown that after he left, Wanyan Lin spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground for a long time without being able to get up.
Barracks moved very quickly, first using the drug to kill the enemy soldiers guarding the grain, and then drenched the tents where the grain was stored with oil, almost setting fire to all the grain brought by Wanyan Lin's army. Su Mianyue and the other lieutenants, who were watching this scene from afar on the city building, were all boiling with blood, and they were bound to win the battle in full.
However, after the deputy generals were excited, Su Mianyue said indifferently, "The whole army is on guard. There will be a bloody battle tomorrow. This time, we will fight the enemy out. If we don't hurt the enemy severely, we will not return."
The cold silhouette made the lieutenants respect him. Their general deserved to be an ever-victorious general. It was the greatest blessing in life to be able to march and fight with such a general.
"Do you hear me? All of you have to cheer me up. After tomorrow's big battle, you will be waiting to go home and hug your daughter-in-law and child." Hong Fenng shouted a vulgar sentence in a loud voice, but it resonated with the whole army. Even the soldiers without family members were looking forward to the end of the war and going home.
Sure enough, after counting the rations, Wanyan Lin endured the discomfort of his body and forcibly presided over the situation. He ordered all the remaining rations to be boiled to the stomach of the soldiers, and then ordered the army to march in the direction of Huizhou City. If they did not attack Huizhou City in one go, their whole army would starve to death.
Under the wreckage of the cauldron, the soldiers were fearless and courageous. Only victory could make them alive. Even the emperor fought with them. What could be more exciting than this?
Before dawn, the Hengyuan army attacked again. The army of the Hengyuan had already made preparations. This time, it took the initiative to attack without waiting for the enemy's attack.
Traps were already prepared on the ground to harvest the lives of the enemy. The rain of arrows and catapults swept away, and the arrows mixed with rockets were still wrapped in lin powder, almost pouring out all the medicine in the city for the battle. Instead, the Hengyuan army had been in the wild all along. These things were not as complete as the Tianlan army.
There were only more than 60,000 soldiers left in the 100,000 army, and at this moment, more than 10,000 were lost. Wanyan Lin, with red eyes, personally ordered the siege and rode his horse to the edge of the front line.
"Capture the enemy leader alive and raise him to level three. Shoot him and raise him to level one!" Seeing that Wanyan Lin rode up, Su Mianyue immediately issued an order in a loud voice. This battle must be fought out of the city, then the climax of the war will be detonated.
"General, there are military reports in Linzhou city and other places. All the places have won a great victory. In total, more than 300,000 enemy troops have been lost, and no less than a million tons of grain and grass have been burned. Jianzhou City has already sealed the city gate and suffered a particularly heavy loss." The messenger announced the victory loudly, and the whole army cheered.
"Send down the order, and all the soldiers will go out of the city with me to meet the enemy. Capture the enemy king alive and return home victoriously!" Su Mianyue raised his sword and shouted, immediately receiving a response from a group of soldiers. At this moment, no one was not boiling with blood and murderous.
