Some of Prince Xian of the Left's soldiers rushed forward with a pot of boiling oil and poured it on the Xiongnu people gathered under the tower.
When the hot oil penetrated the armor and leather and soaked the skin, the huge heat was enough to make the most determined person feel very painful.
In the next second.
Hundreds of fire arrows were shot down from the tower, and the kerosene on the ground was instantly ignited by the fire. Soon, the Xiongnu people below the city were completely submerged in the fire!
Under the full defense of Prince Xian of the Left, the Xiongnu people squeezed under the tower finally gave up on attacking the city and began to retreat.
……
Outside the city, in front of the Xiongnu cavalry.
The Chief Chanyu took a deep breath.
Prince Xian of the Left, Yu Fuluo, was indeed quite capable. Even such a fierce attack was defended by him!
The Chief Chanyu looked at the figure on the city wall. The killing intent in his eyes became even greater.
"Blow the horn and retreat!"
The deep sound of the bugle horn slowly sounded. The Xiongnu army finally retreated slowly, and the fierce offensive and defensive battle temporarily stopped.
……
At the same time, on a mountain dozens of miles away from Langjuxu Mountain.
Ying Dan stood in the wind at the top of the mountain. She looked to the north and saw a girl standing beside her.
Thousands of barbarian cavalrymen were standing behind Ying Dan. Their bodies were emitting a strong killing intent that made people feel suffocated.
At the foot of the Yin Mountain, He Lu had wanted to wait for Ying Dan's return, but the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, had ordered him to go to the Peacock Dynasty to quell the rebellion. So, he had no choice but to lead his army to the south to quell the rebellion, and then return to help Ying Dan as soon as possible.
As soon as they arrived at the Peacock Dynasty, the two sides began a large-scale battle. Meng Tian fought with the Peacock Dynasty general Meng Tian.
He Lu had sent out 40,000 troops, but he did not attract Meng Tian's full force.
He Lu wanted to devour the 30,000 people who had come first to make Meng Tian unable to sit still. In the end, he failed to devour the other party and even lost a lot of his own.
In the end, he had no choice but to use the elephant in advance. He was discovered after defeating more than 10,000 people.
Due to various reasons, the plan to wipe out Meng Tian's army of 100,000 soldiers without expending a single soldier had resulted in both sides paying the same price.
At this point, He Lu could not help but admire Meng Tian's wisdom. However, the battle was not over yet. Helu
He had originally thought that if the secret of the elephant was discovered, Meng Tian's army would throw away their armor and armor. He would use his entire army to fight against Meng Tian's soldiers who were only wearing thin clothes.
Now, although the losses in the early stages were small, it was inevitable that Meng Tian would lose everything.
This step could still be taken.
Seeing the elephant running out, He Lu hurriedly shouted and waved his flag. "Everyone, attack! Exterminate the enemy!"
Just as the vanguard was about to inform the army in front, they heard Meng Tian's order and could not help but look at the soldiers on their side.
If they left without any arrangements, the cavalry would not be a problem, but the infantry would definitely be eaten up by the joint forces.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian immediately made arrangements for the vanguard general." Arrange for a retreat!”
"Yes, sir!"
The vanguard general responded and Meng Tian immediately left.
Under the arrangement of the vanguard general, the infantrymen went first, and the cavalry who were originally in front ran to the back.
Because the cavalrymen had horses, they had only lost their armor. Their weapons were all on the saddle bridge, and now there was still a battle of weapons.
The armor was only used to prevent scratches and was not very useful against spears. Without the armor, any scratch would be a wound, which would affect one's combat strength and test one's endurance.
In the blink of an eye, the Helu Cavalry had already arrived in front of them, but there weren't many left.
He Lu's cavalry originally had 20,000 men, but half of them had been killed by Meng Tian's big move. They had also lost a few thousand men, so they only had 5,000 men left.
As for Helu, he had gathered all his cavalry. They hadn't suffered any major losses before, and the elephants hadn't injured many of their cavalry. Now, they had more than 4,000.
When Great Qin's Cavalrymen charged forward, the Cavalrymen on the other side fearlessly charged forward, and both sides 'Cavalrymen immediately clashed.
Great Qin's equipment was complete, while Meng Tian did not have any armor.
Great Qin was strong in terms of defense, while Meng Tian had lost some of her defense and was much more agile. Moreover, she was stronger than He Lu, so as long as she was not injured, she would still have the advantage.
In the battle, both sides suffered injuries, but He Lu's injuries were still twice as much as Meng Tian's.
Perhaps it was because the human body lacked a sense of security due to the lack of armor, but Meng Tian was not as brave as before. The number of enemies she killed decreased very slowly.
Soon, Helu's infantry followed.
Meng Tian looked at the battle situation. In the current situation, it was not realistic to use infantry to catch up to He Lu's main force.
Immediately, the flag was waved and the army stopped. They began to get into formation and surrounded the cavalry.
When the heavy shields fell to the ground, the fighting cavalrymen were completely surrounded.
The Vanguard General had long discovered this, but he was helpless. He had to block it. Cavalry without armor could still fight, but infantrymen without armor would be sending themselves to their deaths.
Now that he was surrounded, the only comfort he could get was to protect his infantry. But even so, he had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death.
Once the encirclement was closed, Meng Tian's flag waved once again.
"Archers, fire!"
With a command, the archers at the periphery immediately began to draw their bows and nocked their arrows. When the vanguard general saw this scene, he hurriedly ordered," Don't maintain the formation. Enter the chaotic battle!”
The soldiers quickly understood the intentions of the vanguard general. They could only mix with the Helu cavalry. The Helu archers were afraid of hurting their own people, so they had to be cautious.
Understanding this, Meng Tian's cavalrymen immediately became brave. They had been half-fighting and half-dodging before, but now they were attacking desperately.
After all, the adjustments couldn't be made quickly, and there were still many soldiers who couldn't mix together. Under Helu's command, the archers fired a wave of arrows.
Arrows were shot from the left, right, and back of the soldiers, completely catching them off guard.
Puff! Puff!
For a moment, the sound of arrows piercing into flesh rang out among Meng Tian's cavalry. Because they did not have armor or shields, as long as they hit, there would be casualties.
A mere 4,000 arrows had actually caused 500 casualties, with more than 100 of them falling.
"Infantry! Bow and arrow support!"
At this time, the vanguard general could only think of his own infantry.
The infantrymen who had been running stopped when they received the order. The people at the back picked up the bows and arrows left by their comrades in front and returned.
In the end, half of them picked up their weapons, but they did not dare to wear armor, afraid that the elephant would come back.
The trump card troops were well-trained. Even though the military structure had been scattered, under Helu's command, they immediately began to fire in an orderly manner.
Speaking of which, Meng Tian felt that the vanguard general's actions were reckless. The difference in strength between the two sides was huge. With the cavalry dragging them, many infantrymen could escape. But now, not only could they not save the cavalry, they might even bring the infantrymen along.
However, seeing the soldiers 'performance, He Lu was a little envious.
