Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After expelling the thieves, Ma Yuanju didn't understand why Guo Ye apologized instead of thanking him, but Wu Xiuxiu was very clear in his heart.Guo Ye just wanted to apologize for insulting himself in the Wu Mansion that day.

Hearing what Guo Ye said, my heart felt a lot better, and the anger that day was instantly dispelled by Guo Ye's few words.

Looking at Guo Ye, who was wearing a red-tasseled pocket, wearing a white robe and armor, and looked like a heroic young man, Wu Xiuxiu said in her heart, "You idiot like a donkey, if I still feel idle in my heart, how could I go into danger alone with a woman's body?" Running to the city to look for you?

What an elm bump!

Immediately, after giving Guo Ye a look of resentment and resentment, he said softly, "This method can only help you defend the city for a day and a half, and it may not work if it is too much."

A day and a half?

Although the time is too short, for Guo Ye, who has already burned his butt, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, pouring nectar on dry land for years.

Then he said hastily: "A day and a half is enough, enough for Li Lun, as long as the current crisis can be resolved, and the thieves' smoky tactics will be useless once the west wind recedes."

Hearing what Guo Ye said, Wu Xiuxiu turned around and pointed at the big iron pots that had been set up and started cooking in various parts of the city at this time, and said: "There are nearly a hundred iron pots filled with vegetable oil. It will be boiled in a while, since you can't see where the bandits are, why don't you wait until they get close to the city and start climbing the wall, and pour boiling vegetable oil down?"

As he spoke, he walked to an oil pan that was already boiling and emitting white smoke, and said to Guo Ye: "The boiling vegetable oil is more violent than stones and hard objects. Watering down, who in the living body can withstand such charcoal burning?"

hiss……

Guo Ye slapped his head violently, unexpectedly using this trick like a child's play house to defeat the enemy?

But it sounds like it might work.

He made rough calculations in his mind, since he couldn't see the bandits on the way, it would be better to shoot them close, as long as they dared to get close to the foot of the city wall, he would pour boiling vegetable oil on them, and they wouldn't burn them to death. of?

When the time comes, there will be crackling noises everywhere, and these filthy thieves will definitely turn into golden roasted whole sheep.

At that time, the folks at the head of the city will be responsible for burning the oil, and the city guards and poppis will be responsible for pouring the oil down. Well, the division of labor is clear.

OK, absolutely doable!

At this time, Fatty Zhu, who was in charge of supervising the battle, suddenly yelled: "Brother, brother, a lot of bandits have appeared at the base of the city wall, and these bastards are starting to build ladders."

Sure enough, Guo Ye thought he guessed right, the thieves just wanted to use the smoke to cover up their whereabouts, so as to reach the bottom of the city wall without anyone noticing.

Don't be too late!

Immediately, Guo Ye yelled at Pang Feihu and Fatty Zhu: "You two hurry up and tell the brothers to prepare wooden barrels, and two groups of two will come here with wooden barrels to fill the vegetable oil, pour it down hard for me, and scald these bastards to death of."

All of a sudden, there was a burst of turmoil at the top of the city, and the role of the military and civilian fish and water conditions was brought to the extreme.

The folks and elders help burn the oil and fill the barrels with vegetable oil, while the city guards and the rogues run back and forth in groups of two carrying the barrels. .

All of a sudden, there was a scalding scalding sound and wow-wow-wah-wah screams of pain from under the city.

Obviously, the strategy of burning oil to retreat from the enemy has already begun to work.

huh~~

Guo Ye heaved a rough sigh of relief, and his expression was obviously relaxed. Ma Yuanju, who was on the side, also smiled after hearing the tragic and painful sounds under the city.

Whispering in Guo Ye's ear, he said: "Boy, you are very lucky to have such a lady who understands the general situation and considers the overall situation. As far as I know, the vegetable oil that is being used in this barrel and the cooking oil that is being burned Hehe, your wife begged his father, who was purchased and hired by your father-in-law. Hehe, Guo family boy, you should cherish your blessings, what a strange woman."

what?

After hearing Ma Yuanju's soft leak, Guo Ye was shocked. Wu Xiuxiu was responsible for all these things by himself?

Immediately, Guo Ye looked at Wu Xiuxiu's eyes more and more softly, alas, she really made things difficult for her.

A weak girl can do such a thing, and she is still a pampered young lady on weekdays.

At this moment, Guo Ye clearly felt that Wu Xiuxiu's move had touched the softest part of his heart.

But Wu Xiuxiu didn't notice all of this, and squatted on the ground with a look of selflessness, adding dry firewood to the bottom of an oil pan, and raised her hands to wipe her hair at the temples while dripping with sweat.

Inadvertently, the ashes of Chaihe rubbed his face into a sloppy face, making Guo Ye laugh, but also full of pity and tenderness.

After several waves of vegetable oil pouring down the city tower, many bandits were scalded to death, and the bandits slowed down their pace of attacking the city while screaming in pain.

"Wow, burn me to death, my face, my face, help!"

"Who can help me, my eyes are scalded and I can't see anything."

……

……

"Mr. Guan, Master, this city cannot be attacked. The brothers have been burned a lot, so we cannot continue to attack like this."

A small bandit leader ran up to Guan Jiujiu who was holding the formation behind the team, and cried out heartbroken.

Guan Jiujiu is not blind, he can clearly see what happened under the city wall not far away, he never dreamed that the defenders on the tower would think of such a bad trick to deal with them.

It's a bad move, but it works.

But at this juncture in the battle, how can we retreat lightly?

Immediately, Guan Jiujiu scolded sharply: "Idiot, did a small setback scare you away? How much vegetable oil do they have for them to squander like this? Didn't we just lose a hundred people? It doesn't matter!!! We have enough! people."

Then, Guan Jiujiu clenched the feather fan in his hand, and pointed to the top of the city from a distance: "Tell brothers, take the east gate at all costs. As long as you enter the city, gold, silver, jewels and women, let the brothers grab three days and three days." Night, as much as you can grab will belong to the brothers, this is what the big master says."

At this time, Guan Jiujiu was also crazy. In order to be able to capture the East Gate, he dared to do such a disrespectful thing as "making a promise in the name of Meng Laogui" with pride and pride.

Stimulated by Guan Jiujiu's hysteria, the thieves launched another crazy attack.

Attack, counterattack, retreat; attack again, counterattack again, retreat again.

……

After about an hour of back-and-forth tug-of-war, the battle was still in a fierce stalemate.

More and more people were killed by bandits, from the initial one hundred, all the way up to more than 300.

Similarly, the vegetable oil on Guoye's side is getting less and less as it is used, and it is almost depleted now.

At this time, the city tower was full of exclamations and shouts:

"Bantou Zhu, the oil pan here has bottomed out."

"Captain Pang, we can't hold on here for long."

"We only have one barrel left here."
