We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 200: The First Appearance of Landmines
On the city wall, many Khitan soldiers were lying crookedly.
In the past few days, the National Protection Army's offensive has never stopped. Although it is just a feint, it has put enough pressure on the defenders.
Beep, beep, beep, beep—
When the familiar military bugle call sounded, the Khitan soldiers resting on the city wall trembled suddenly and struggled to get up.
He cursed obscenely: "Here we go again, fucking these Qing people! And it never ends!"
The continuous sieges, although each time there was much ado about nothing, were also frequent.
Moreover, if the defenders slack off even a little, the feint attack will turn into a real siege.
What made the Khitan defenders even more morale-shaking was that their general Yelu He had not appeared for a long time, and rumors had spread among the army that Yelu He had abandoned the city and fled.
A Khitan soldier leaned against the city wall and looked out, his pupils suddenly dilated.
"Qing...Qing people!"
"What's going on?" asked the companion. "Isn't it just a siege? They won't fight to the death, it's just a feint. We just need to drive them away."
"No..." The Khitan soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This time, it's a general attack!"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this, and they hurriedly looked towards the city.
But what he saw was a black mass of Qing army soldiers who were ready for battle.
It was like a huge net covering the entire Xiangping City, making people feel like there was nowhere to escape.
As the bugle calls stopped, the originally neat team instantly turned into a surging tide, rushing towards the city wall.
The armored infantry marched quickly and powerfully at the forefront of the charge, raising dust that formed a yellow-brown haze.
Behind the heavy infantry, the Mohe cavalry pulled their bowstrings to their full potential, and arrows poured down on the city walls like raindrops.
Catapults and crossbows roared dully, and huge stones and iron arrows drew deadly arcs in the air, landing on the city walls, stirring up bursts of blood mist and wailing.
The sound of swords clashing, the neighing of war horses, the shouts and wails of soldiers mixed together to form a symphony of war.
Blood flowed along the cracks in the city wall, and life became cheap and fragile at this moment.
"We can't hold on!" a Khitan soldier cried miserably, "Go find General Yelu!"
Upon hearing this, many soldiers turned their attention to the highest-ranking deputy general present.
The deputy general gritted his teeth, his heart sinking.
General Yelu had a high fever and had fallen into a coma long ago. He concealed the fact because he was afraid that the morale of the army would be unstable.
Now they are asking for people from us, where can we get a general for them?
"The general is already on his way here. Don't worry, brothers. Let's focus on repelling the Qing army first!" the deputy general consoled them.
But the soldiers didn't respond at all.
"Bullshit! I've been guarding here for three days and three nights, and I haven't seen Yelu He. Did he escape?!"
The deputy general drew his sword and shouted angrily at the speaker: "You dare to question me, are you trying to rebel?"
The soldiers had been holding out for three days, their bodies and spirits stretched to their limits. They were now reprimanded by the deputy general, and they couldn't help but feel furious:
"So what if we rebel? The city is about to fall, and we're both going to die!"
Seeing this, the personal guards beside the deputy general drew their swords.
The surrounding soldiers were on the verge of collapse. Instead of being frightened, they stepped forward to confront the bodyguards.
The National Protection Army under the wall was about to attack, but the Khitans inside the wall had an internal conflict.
After all, the personal guards were elite and wore heavy armor, so the ordinary soldiers did not have the courage to fight them.
He simply threw away the knife and shouted, "It's either death or death. Kill me, or get out of the way and let us escape!"
Seeing that the enemy was determined to desert, the guards raised their swords to strike them, but the deputy general stopped them: "Forget it, let them go."
"General!" The personal guards looked at the deputy general in confusion.
The deputy general smiled bitterly and looked around. The ratio of Qing army soldiers to Khitan soldiers on the city wall was almost one to one. It was only a matter of time before the city fell.
"You should surrender to the Qing army. If you don't want to surrender, run for your life." The deputy general turned and walked towards the city.
"General, where are you going?" a personal soldier asked hurriedly.
The deputy general paused, said nothing more, mounted his horse, and galloped into the city.
At the same time, under the continuous impact and fierce attacks, the city gate finally couldn't bear the burden and let out its final wail.
With a loud bang, the city gate collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust and broken wood.
boom--
. . . . . .
With a dull sound, the ground suddenly exploded, and a huge force threw several Khitan cavalrymen and their horses into the air.
Several bodies rolled in the flames, then fell heavily to the ground, dead in an instant.
The Khitan general who led his troops into the camp was stunned when he saw the charred corpses.
The huge roar startled the horses, causing them to lose control and rush to all corners of the camp.
The general came to his senses and looked around. Just then, a gust of wind lifted a corner of the tent, revealing what was inside.
The camp was empty, but there were some miscellaneous items piled up there.
The general took a closer look and his face suddenly changed!
Tung oil, wood, and weeds are all flammable substances!
"No, hurry, retreat!"
As the general shouted, the second mine exploded, and the explosion instantly drowned out his voice.
Other mines and traps hidden throughout the camp were triggered one after another, and a series of deafening explosions rang out one after another.
The flames generated by the explosion ignited the incendiary materials hidden in the camp, and the fire began to spread.
Just a few minutes.
Flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the entire camp instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The Khitan soldiers panicked and fled in all directions, the burning flames illuminating their terrified faces.
The flames mercilessly devoured the soldiers affected by the explosion. They rolled around in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but to no avail.
Horses with flames on their bodies rushed through the camp, trampling and hitting the soldiers who were rolling on the ground.
Wooden structures within the camp ignited and the fire quickly spread, causing even greater damage.
"I told you! The Qing people are treacherous. How could they be so kind as to leave us a camp?"
The Khitan general had already dismounted and was running for his life, angrily denouncing the Qing people for their despicableness and treachery.
He was lucky enough not to be burned by the flames and managed to escape.
The Khitan general could already see the camp gate they had come in through. He was overjoyed and subconsciously quickened his pace.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in my ears.
click-
The Khitan general felt his feet sink, as if he had stepped on something.
The next second—
Boom! ! !
The Khitan general's lower body felt cold instantly, and then he was lifted up into the sky by an invisible force.
A bloody thing flashed in front of him. The Khitan general looked over in confusion, feeling that it looked familiar.
It looks like my own thighs and half of my butt?
