Chapter 474 What Is He Going to Do? [Second Update! 】

Qiu Jianhan was very happy: "The Marquis of Yun rushed to the Guanshan Mountains for thousands of miles to help us, which is really a great help to us! I am very grateful."

Qiu Jianhan knew the true identity of Marquis Yun very well; Marquis Yun's coming here was almost as if His Majesty had come here today!

No matter what decision Qiu Jianhan makes, as long as Marquis Yun stays here, even if there are mistakes afterwards, Marquis Yun will take care of it.

On the royal side, there will never be any suspicion.

This is not because the old marshal thinks too much, but as a means of self-protection when necessary.

After all, the so-called generals who do not accept the orders of the emperor abroad, the achievements of the master, and the suspicion of the emperor and his ministers are the first things that the generals have to worry about, and they have to guard against them.

Although Old Marshal Qiu is very sure that His Majesty will never doubt him, he must always beware of villains in the court!

If you lose the battle, everything is over; if you win, there will always be people who want to pick peaches.

This point, no matter how wise the monarch is, or how prosperous the world is, there will be no shortage of such people!

And at this moment, the war drums on the opposite side suddenly sounded like a thunderous sound, and the shrill horns also pierced the sky at the same time!

The sudden sound was deafening, and the ground shook for a while!

"Dongxuan attack!"

After suddenly hearing this reasonable but unexpected news, Fu Baoguo was almost startled.

Facing such an indestructible pass, why did Han Shanhe, the famous commander in the world, launch an attack in broad daylight at such a time?

Is he out of his mind?

Or was it the wrong medicine? !

But no matter how confused, Han Shanhe's attack was already in sight!

Fu Baoguo almost rushed to the top of the city in one breath, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but gasped.

I saw the dense Dongxuan army, all carrying long ladders as dense as a forest, rushing all over the mountains and plains!

What made Fu Baoguo even more palpitating was that he also saw the entire Dongxuan Black Cavalry dispatched, just like a black dragon, swimming at high speed, shaking its head and tail, ready to bite the enemy fiercely at any time.

Fu Baoguo was even more surprised, or rather puzzled, by...

There are also quite a few people holding long logs and large stones.

Isn't that a weapon that can only be used to defend the city?

And what are those people running with half of the long ladder doing?

Are these things needed for siege?

Han Shanhe's attack wasn't for a joke, was it? !

Han Shanhe's former army pressed forward at the same time, rumbling all the way to the middle of the battlefield. The 200,000 black cavalry who attacked this time were divided into two teams, and the left and right were like two big pliers, watching the battlefield!

"According to the arrangement the day before yesterday, the whole army of archers will serve you!"

Qiu Jianhan's voice came from behind.

The old marshal's voice was extremely heavy: "For the time being, only the archers need to move. Han Shanhe's main purpose this time is not to attack the city!"

"Didn't you come to attack the city?"

Fu Baoguo was even more puzzled when he heard this.

But the next moment, he understood.

The reality told him the answer!

The Dongxuan soldiers gradually approaching the Tiegu Pass, the troops who were the first to pass the pass, walked very neatly, because everyone held a huge shield in one hand, covering the whole body airtight; It is carrying a long ladder held by several people and rushing forward.

And the next step for this team to reach the edge of Iron Bone Pass is to erect the long ladder to the city wall, and then turn around and leave without stopping!

Seeing such a reality, Fu Baoguo is still full of puzzles and doubts, what's going on? The ladders are all up, and they are all on the edge of the city. Don't attack the city?

Is this another form of getting cold feet? !

"Fire the arrows!!" Qiu Jianhan gave an order, and thousands of arrows were fired from the top of the city.

The arrows were obviously aimed at the soldiers who built the ladders, but the Dongxuan army on the opposite side was obviously prepared for this. The shields in everyone's hands were several sizes larger than usual, but the rainy arrows hardly caused any damage. In total, there were only a few unlucky ghosts who were shot by arrows when they lowered the long ladder and died under the city.

Below the city wall, there are more and more rolling logs, stones and long ladders, piled up high, and the situation becomes more and more strange.

Under close observation, Fu Baoguo found that the long ladder used to attack Dongxuan this time was not a cloud ladder, but a long ladder, and the highest place was about a foot and a half away from the city. The people in the city can't do anything about these long ladders.

Although some clever soldiers had already pulled out the flagpoles, moved them to the bottom of the city wall, and knocked down some long ladders, but more long ladders were only a few feet long, and only stopped at the height of the middle of the city wall. beyond reach.

After going back and forth like this, the things that Dongxuan's army had piled up under the city wall gradually became thick and dense, and at a rough glance, it looked like a gentle slope!

Qiu Jianhan gave another order, and the five thousand Jade Tang cavalry rushed out of the city gate with a bang.

"No matter what, don't let these things take root under the city wall, and destroy them all!"

Seeing the Yutang iron cavalry dispatched, the black cavalry from the other side split out a group of troops almost at the same time, and rushed over like flying, intercepting them forcefully!

The old enemy will meet again, and the two sides will naturally start fighting.

However, most of Dongxuan's army still didn't care about the situation, as if they didn't see it, they just focused on transporting supplies to the city wall, and later, even thatch, dry branches and other things were thrown here.

"This is... a fire attack?!" Fu Baoguo was dumbfounded: Is this useful?

"Of course it's a fire attack...Moreover, this is only the first step in Han Shanhe's countermeasure..." Qiu Jianhan looked worriedly at the fierce battle between the black cavalry and the iron cavalry under the city, and sighed deeply.

"Han Shanhe is worthy of being a veteran in the battlefield, as expected... he came up with this method."

"The most extreme situation is about to begin. I wonder if the Tieguguan can really hold for a month?!"

...

A few moments later, the Dongxuan soldiers who had thrown away all their belongings hurriedly withdrew, while the battle between the iron cavalry and the black cavalry over there was still fighting... A loud trombone suddenly sounded in the Dongxuan barracks.

A sharp voice suddenly shouted: "Light it up! Let the arrows go!"

With a bang, the archers in Dongxuan's army had been prepared for a long time, and immediately lit the arrows that had been soaked in lint kerosene on the arrows on the strings.

The next moment, swish swish...

Countless rockets flew towards this side, covering the entire sky in an instant.

boom!

Immediately, a huge fire ignited under the city wall!

The sudden rising heat wave made Fu Baoguo's face scald hot, and he felt like he was on the edge of a sea of ​​flames.

However, Fu Baoguo was still puzzled by Dongxuan's move and Hanshanhe's strategy: "What's the use of such a fire attack? In the face of such a fire, we only need to withdraw from the city for a while, and Dongxuan How could it be impossible for Fang to step over the wall of fire to attack! If he did it reluctantly, with the current fire, they would have to burn themselves to death first!?"

Qiu Jianhan sighed: "To serve the country, to be a general, one must not only know soldiers, but also know the right time and place... There are many other things that need to be known."

Fu Baoguo's vague uneasiness suddenly increased. Did he really miss something important: "What? I don't know what?"

"Actually, this arson was only Han Shanhe's first method. Afterwards, the Dongxuan army will continue to get burning things under the city wall..."

Qiu Jianhan sighed: "Iron Bone Pass is said to be invincible. In addition to being indestructible, the right time and place atmosphere here is also a key to the invincibility of this pass city. No matter whether it is flooded or attacked by fire, any offensive will not work. ! But now that there are more gaps, we can only use ice to freeze the city, we must do this.”

"And when the water pours down, although it seems that the whole city is melted into one body and becomes more and more indestructible, but at the same time, it also causes considerable hidden dangers...While the water condenses into ice and forms a thick ice layer, it also fills the city. The gaps between the stones of the city wall... make these gaps bigger."

"When the ice layer melts in the spring of the next year, the melted water will of course leave and return to the ground... But the firmness of the city wall will also be lost bit by bit. There may even be a precarious situation..."

"However, Han Shanhe's move is to speed up this process. If the flames cannot be stopped, the moment when the flames will completely melt away will be the real end of Tieguguan! It can make the originally defective place collapse, or even, or more than one place will collapse!"

"So this ice city strategy is just a countermeasure to quench thirst with poison, but Han Shanhe is still trying to speed up the onset time of the poison, to the maximum speed..."

Qiu Jianhan said: "Now, do you understand?"

Fu Baoguo's face was pale, and he was no longer calm and calm: "This..."

"Extinguishing!"

Qiu Jianhan sighed.

A large number of water sources that had been prepared for a long time, countless white water streams rushed down the top of the city, and all fell into the burning fire. Tens of thousands of people splashed water at the same time, and there were several inexhaustible water in the Iron Bone Pass. An inexhaustible large well, but after a stalemate for a while, the monstrous fire was quickly contained, leaving only the remaining black smoke rising.

On the top of the city, the thick water vapor from the hot and cold phases almost completely enveloped the entire city!

As the temperature dropped rapidly, the ice that had been partially melted by the fire began to condense again.

Fu Baoguo looked over, scratched his head and said, "That's right, as long as we extinguish the flame, everything will be restored to its original state."

Qiu Jianhan said indifferently: "How can it be possible to return to the original state? Just look at the following! Now that you have me by your side, why have you lost your usual composure? For a general, the first thing is to face a big landslide without changing your color,"

Fu Baoguo looked down, and saw that the long ladders that hadn't been burned clean, especially those rolling logs and rocks, were all piled up under the city wall, and they had already swelled to a height as far as he could see.

As the flames were extinguished, cold water was continuously poured down, and apart from bursts of white smoke rising, some edges had begun to freeze.

What a big lump!

Fu Baoguo seemed to understand something, and stared blankly at the uplifted slope in a daze.
