Chapter 476: Before the City Breaks Down 】
Seeing the drastic change in the situation, the morale of Dongxuan's side was at an all-time high. No matter the general or the soldiers, everyone seemed to be pumped up, screaming and rushing upwards.
On the other hand, Yutang watched all this with gritted teeth, and many people's eyes were red.
I can only watch the other party's actions like this, complete the strategic goals little by little, and gradually capture the city's geographical advantage that leads to the natural danger of my own side. It really makes every Yutang soldier feel aggrieved to the point of dying.
This taste is too difficult!
It was even more difficult than cutting one's own flesh with a blunt knife!
Qiu Jianhan, who had known for a long time that Tiegu could not hold on, was not completely inactive. He evacuated all the wounded soldiers and civilians in the pass early on. When the wounded soldiers left, they cried loudly.
Many soldiers cried and begged their comrades: Let me stay!
Although I don't have a hand, but, give me a knife, I can still pull an enemy back!
"Let me stay!"
"I won't go! Even if you beat me to death now, lift my body up to the city wall, and directly build it with stones, I can still raise Yutang's height by half a foot!"
The wounded soldiers begged bitterly.
But Qiu Jianhan and Fu Baoguo's faces were as hard as iron, they would not waver, let alone compromise!
"You are meaningful only when you are alive. You are the seeds of Yutang, or you can cultivate new seeds! You are nothing when you are dead!"
"Military order: Live! No matter what, you are not allowed to die! If anyone dies, I will see you under the nine springs, and I will never recognize you as our comrade!"
"If you live, the Iron Bone Pass of Yutang is still there! You are the Iron Bone Pass!"
"The so-called not breaking the Xiongguan Pass has never been the Tiegu Pass itself, but the Yutang Eastern Army stationed here, you soldiers of the Eastern Army!"
Old Marshal Qiu burst into tears: "Live all for me! Brothers, you must live. Live to see our Yutang counterattack! Live to help us train new recruits! Live...to take care of us, our beautiful land! "
Seeing the old marshal's tears, all the wounded soldiers fell silent without further words.
The wounded soldiers began to evacuate one by one, and they withdrew extremely quickly!
They want to let themselves move quickly, leaving a wide road for the broken army.
To prevent these cripples from blocking the road and obstructing the route of the army.
"Even if you can't be loyal to the country with your brothers here, you must not become a drag on the army!"
"We still have a mission, even if the iron-bone pass in front of us falls, there are still us, another human-shaped iron-bone pass!"
"Dongxuan, damn invader, just wait to cross another iron barrier!"
...
Time passed little by little, and on the ninth day, Dongxuan's established strategic deployment was basically completed.
The gentle slope below is only three feet high from the top of the city.
Such a height can be easily climbed by warriors with a fairly basic foundation, and the Dongxuan army has assembled masters because of this; all the masters of the rivers and lakes, army masters, and sect masters of Dongxuan have all been gathered.
And Yutang is also gathering advanced practitioners.
Both sides are doing the same thing.
Only advanced cultivators can deal with advanced warriors. In the current situation, warriors who have never been welcomed on the battlefield are unexpectedly popular like never before. The key to this battle is here!
And on this night.
Qiu Jianhan ordered to go on and divide the kerosene collected during this period and the amount of more than 500,000 barrels he collected before the expedition into five waves, and even sprinkled out the first wave.
On this gentle slope, a thick layer of kerosene flowed.
Many flowed down the gentle slope, sticky but never stagnated, the whole piece of gentle slope that reached tens of miles, the surface was covered with kerosene!
But for a moment, the pungent smell permeated the whole field.
But at this moment, the fire oil on the top of the city is still pouring down continuously.
Seeing such a large area of kerosene, Han Shanhe's face was cloudy and uncertain, and it has been a long time since he gave the order to attack!
He knew very well that this was Qiu Jianhan's last move!
The real last resort!
As he said, he can think of everything that Qiu Jianhan can think of, and so can the other party, so this situation is already in the budget of both parties!
And as long as the soldiers of Dongxuan rush through this sea of fire and hell formed by kerosene, the Iron Bone Pass belongs to Dongxuan!
But when the matter came to an end, Han Shanhe still hesitated.
What you see in front of your eyes is no longer simply kerosene stretching for tens of miles, but kerosene covering dozens of miles around!
A whole piece, all of it!
In the current situation, although the Yutang side is at an unprecedented disadvantage, if they want to capture the Iron Bone Pass, at least a considerable scale of offensive is needed. There is no scale of tens of thousands of people, and there is no threat at all!
I gave an order to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to launch an offensive, just waiting, but once the tens of thousands of troops rushed into the fire oil in front of me. As long as the fire starts, there will be no room for this tens of thousands of troops to survive!
Absolutely no hope of survival!
"Rocket!"
Han Shanhe still gave the order!
"Since the sea of fire is bound to appear, let us light the fire oil!" Han Shanhe smiled wryly.
The dense rockets fell on the kerosene like a storm, and with the sound of "boom", the flames soaring into the sky instantly ignited; but in an instant, the continuous sea of flames immediately blocked the sight of everyone on both sides.
All of a sudden, the heat wave rolled over dozens of miles around, and everyone retreated immediately, not daring to stay for a while.
At this moment, above Yutang City, Qiu Jianhan laughed wildly: "Han Shanhe, you finally set fire! The old man thought you were hard-hearted, but I didn't expect you to still have concerns. But that's all, that's all!"
Han Shanhe shook his head with a wry smile, but didn't say anything!
Once the fire was set off, the Dongxuan army would not be able to rush forward no matter what while the fire oil was burning.
The scale of the sea of fire formed by the thick kerosene is probably even worse than a magma river, and based on the scale of the kerosene seen by the current visual inspection, it will take a day and a night for it to burn completely.
This one day and one night is enough to dissolve the frozen gentle slope that Han Shanhe has worked so hard to accumulate over a period of time to a thickness of more than ten feet! Although Tieguguan would also be damaged in this fire, even almost destroyed, but now Qiu Jianhan doesn't care at all.
After all, Iron Bone Pass is doomed to be broken, and whether it is destroyed or not is really not very important!
On the contrary, it would take at least two days for Dongxuan's army to fill up the thickness of the gentle slope of the ice layer of more than ten feet.
And two days later, this land will be covered with kerosene again!
Qiu Jianhan frantically collected more than 500,000 barrels of fire oil reserves, and even collected all the oil tanks in the entire city, the army cooking, and the people's homes, just for this crazy last fight, to maximize Delay City Break Time!
What's more, no matter how good Han Shanhe is, he won't know how much fire oil Yutang has prepared.
In any case, before Tieguguan finally fell, Qiu Jianhan would at least have to die with the lives of a hundred thousand Dongxuan soldiers and horses!
After that, it's up to you Han Shanhe and the rest of us to fight to the death!
Qiu Jianhan looked at the rising flames, his eyes were full of determination and cruelty.
Han Shanhe, if you don't fill in these 100,000 lives, how can you be worthy of my title of Qiu Jianhan's last battle!
"Fu Baoguo!"
"The end is here!"
"Order! You take all the iron cavalry and the Nationalist Army, leave the city immediately, and retreat to the West Mountain!" Qiu Jianhan said: "In these days, all the peaks and mountains on the West Mountain have been destroyed except for the Tianxuan Cliff. I dismantled it!"
"There is the final narrow place on the border of the country. At that time, your iron cavalry and the Nationalist Army formed another line of defense there. There is the second iron-bone pass of my Yutang! I would rather fight Until the last soldier dies, Han Shanhe must not be allowed to pass easily!"
Fu Baoguo burst into tears: "Old Marshal, the general thinks that the old marshal should do this. The general does not have complete control over the iron cavalry. Only the old marshal himself can control it to the maximum extent." The overall situation! The policy here has been set, let the last general stay.”
"Fart your mother!" Qiu Jianhan was furious: "Get lost!"
"I won't go! The one who should go must not be me!"
Fu Baoguo was a rare disobedience, with a resolute face: "The last general has already made an oath of heaven before, and this body swears to live and die with the iron bone! The old marshal told me to go, just to force me to break the oath!"
"Establish your ancestors! I swear to your uncle! What a mess, this is a battlefield and a military camp! Even if God is here now, he can only obey my military orders! If you don't respect the military orders, you will be killed immediately!"
Qiu Jianhan was unreasonable: "Get out immediately! I didn't let you live, but let you die in a different place! Didn't you hear that there is also an iron-bone pass over there? Why did you violate your shit oath? , Hurry up... Hurry up and get out?! I will kill you!"
