C624 Peak Confrontation
When the digging was done, Bao Hong immediately ordered his men to throw the dried wood they had prepared into the ditch. After that, he sent thousands of people from the pugilistic world to guard the place, making sure no one made any noise. They just waited quietly for the Barbarian Army to show up.
About an hour later, a strange rustling sound suddenly came from the ditch. Bao Hong immediately made a shushing gesture to the thousands of experts from the pugilistic world. When they saw this, they held their breath and silently raised the white blade in their hands. A cold light suddenly appeared.
Very quickly, under the close watch of everyone who didn't even dare to breathe loudly, It looked around in confusion. He did not understand why a trench had appeared out of nowhere when the digging was done well. Suddenly, it felt a white light flash in front of it, and then a good head rolled to the ground with an expression of disbelief.
At the same time, Barbarian Army also stuck their heads out from the other parts of the trench. The same thing happened to them. They had yet to get up from the tunnel. They had become the souls of the experts of the Jianghu who had been waiting for a long time, because it was late at night. People's vision had been greatly hindered. In addition, the Barbarian Army had been hiding in the tunnel for too long. Their hearing was not as sensitive as usual, so it was only after dozens of people from the Barbarian Army were killed. The Barbarian Army behind them finally realized that they had been exposed. They hurriedly warned the people behind them. In an instant, the tunnel was filled with anxious shouts!
Seeing that the time was right, Bao Hong immediately ordered the thousands of experts who were lying in ambush in the trench to ignite the firewood and throw it into the tunnel. After that, he used his inner energy to create raging flames and thick smoke, roasting the Barbarian Tribe soldiers who did not have time to retreat into ashes on the spot. The Barbarian Army, who had carefully planned this underground battle, had to retreat in defeat!
An hour later, Qing Hen returned to the ground with his face covered in dirt. He looked at Bao Hong, who was standing on top of the city wall and smiling at him with hatred. This man from Chu Kingdom, who even the former commander Yelv Cheng was deeply afraid of, was indeed worthy of his reputation. However, if he wanted to retreat like this, it was absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, Qing Hen took a deep breath and calmed his anger. He immediately ordered the remaining one hundred thousand troops to retreat at the first possible moment, and then he led the three hundred thousand troops to the south of the city to meet up with the five hundred thousand cavalry army.
This time, Qing Hen was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to continuously curse the people of Luoan day and night. It was unpleasant to hear, and many of the young and hot-blooded defending soldiers were furious. They all requested to leave the city to fight, but they were dragged away by the furious Yeh Jianhan to carry out the punishment. Just like that, no matter how the Barbarian Army threatened and enticed them, Yeh Jianhan never left the city. After a stalemate of three days and three nights, The Barbarian Army finally gave up on this plan.
Qing Hen saw that his heart was about to explode, so he immediately ordered his army to divide into four groups and surround Luoyang City, forming a mountain of soil. It was obvious that they intended to use this method to break through the city and enter the city. However, how could Yeh Jianhan do as they wished? Immediately, he ordered his men to raise the city wall, and at the same time, he used rolling stones, boiling oil, and other items to drive the Barbarian Army away. After suffering a few losses, the Barbarian Army could only withdraw their troops once again, and waste another three days in vain.
When this plan failed, Qing Hen immediately thought of another plan. He ordered his men to cut down the surrounding trees and secretly piled them under the city wall under the cover of the night. After sprinkling oil on the trees, they immediately lit them up. Just as the fire around the city was going out of control, Qing Hen quickly ordered his army to drive the catapults and heavy crossbows to quietly advance 500 meters away from the city wall.
Seeing the fire below the city wall suddenly fill the sky, Yeh Jianhan immediately ordered the soldiers to tie hooks to long poles and cut off the burning curtains to prevent the fire from rising. At the same time, they used large amounts of water bags made from pig and cow's clothing to throw in the fire. The water bags broke out and effectively stopped the fire. Unexpectedly, this was called Qing Hen's heart.
As the city wall had just been roasted by the fire, it was stimulated by Yeh Jianhan and the others with cold water. Under the sudden change in temperature and heat, there were already traces of cracks. Qing Hen seized this opportunity and used the siege crossbows and catapults to launch a crazy attack on the city wall.
This time, it was effective. Without the protection of the tent, the previously indestructible Luoan City became as fragile as tofu. It was easily destroyed by the heavy arrows and flying stones shot by the Barbarian Army. Many soldiers who were defending the city were even killed because of the collapse of the city wall.
Upon seeing this scene, Qing Hen immediately laughed out loud in delight. Immediately, he ordered the five hundred thousand cavalry of the Barbarian Army to charge forward. Yeh Jianhan knew that he had miscalculated, so he immediately ordered dozens of Sabers to block the gap. At the same time, he ordered people to quickly request support from Bao Hong.
After Bao Hong received the news, he led a hundred thousand elite soldiers and rushed over. At this time, Barbarian Army had already used heavy armor and shield soldiers to destroy several Sabers. Hundreds of thousands of Barbarian Tribe cavalry also took this opportunity to swarm in. Luckily, Gu Xing and the other thirty thousand elite warriors were fighting back. After sacrificing tens of thousands of lives, the people of Luoan used their bodies to form a human wall, isolating the Barbarian Army from the Luoan City!
However, when men were poor, their mortal bodies could never be as solid as iron and stone. Under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before they were completely destroyed. However, once the five hundred thousand cavalry of the Barbarian Tribe successfully entered the city. . . This meant that their side would be completely defeated. There was nothing they could do to resist the charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
Bao Hong clearly did not expect that his side, who was still confident in winning just now, would actually turn the situation around in such a short period of time. For a moment, his brows were tightly knitted, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Seeing that his side had suffered greater and greater losses under the assault of the Barbarian Army's iron cavalry, Bao Hong knew that this was going to continue. The situation would only continue to worsen, and none of them would be able to escape the fate of being destroyed. At this moment, a bold idea gradually formed in his mind. Bao Hong immediately gathered Yeh Jianhan and the others at a place and held a temporary meeting. Immediately, he told them his idea. After pondering for a while, everyone expressed their agreement.
After getting everyone's approval, Bao Hong was full of energy. He first asked Chen Che to help Qian Yun secretly move the people out of the city from the north gate. Then he ordered people to inform Yu Shikun and Xi Wuyi to lead the remaining tens of thousands of troops to wait for orders in the west gate of the city. He also ordered people to dig the tunnel to the bottom of the city wall and support it with wooden pillars while digging. After digging dozens of times, Bao Hong asked them to paint the wooden pillars with oil and set them on fire. At the same time, he ordered his men to retreat quickly.
When Barbarian Army saw that the people from Luoan had retreated without fighting, they were overjoyed. They thought the enemies were afraid, but just as they were about to launch their attack, The city wall, which had lost its support, collapsed in an instant. Thousands of Barbarian Tribe cavalry were crushed to death on the spot. More of them fell into the deep pit along with their horses. They were crushed into meat paste by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers following closely behind. In less than half an incense stick of time, the Barbarian Tribe had lost nearly a hundred thousand soldiers. Taking advantage of the chaos in the barbarian army, Bao Hong ordered his men to beat the drums again. He raised the morale of his army to the maximum and ordered Yu Shikun and his men to lead an army of tens of thousands to launch a surprise attack from the back of the Barbarian Army. He personally led 400 thousand troops and 30 thousand strong warriors to attack from the back!
By the time Qing Hen recovered from his shock, another tens of thousands of soldiers from the Barbarian Army had already lost their lives under the pincer attack of Bao Hong and Yu Shikun. The furious Qing Hen immediately ordered the cavalry to charge, but they were too close to each other. The advantage of cavalry was not obvious. Only then did Qing Hen realize that he had fallen into a trap. However, there was nothing he could do. The originally one-sided battle had turned into a protracted battle under the divine control of Bao Hong, the god of Great Chu. After three days and nights of bloody battles, both sides had suffered heavy losses.
Under the instruction of Bao Hong, Guxing, Yeh Jianhan and a few other Xiantian experts had their eyes turned red from killing each other. They completely abandoned their defense and went straight for Qing Hen. Finally. . . After the Luoan had sacrificed three Xiantian experts, the head of the Barbarian Army's commander, Qing Hen, was beheaded on the spot. After that, the Barbarian Army had no leader. The morale of the army dropped drastically. After another three days and nights. . . The Barbarian Army only had a hundred thousand men left, and the Luoan only had a thousand men standing on the battlefield. The rest of them had turned into cold corpses. At this moment, Bao Hong and the others couldn't help but reach their limits.
