The substitute prince: Reported the emperor's brother at the beginning

Chapter 279: The First Battle of Gold Juice

As soon as the barbarians returned, Ning Yi ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Although not many rebels were killed or injured, they were still dealt with one by one.

By the way, the servants also picked up all the stones that were thrown out one by one, preparing to recycle them.

Ning Yi also had people prepare tens of thousands of sacks filled with yellow soil. This thing could still be thrown out, and whoever it hit would either die or be disabled.

Aturu then ordered his men to attack the high military camps on both wings. As long as they captured both wings, they would still have the advantage.

However, there were more traps in front of the military camps on both wings. Under the fierce attack of the rebels, they climbed the hillside and soon found deep pits everywhere.

Moreover, the military camp was built by a group of miscellaneous soldiers to look like a city, which made the attacking rebels suffer a lot.

After several attacks, the rebels lost thousands of men, and Aturu became depressed.

He also knew that if he used the rebels to forcibly attack at all costs, it was not impossible for the little fox to suffer losses.

But if that happens, the rebels themselves will become disobedient. Knowing that they will die, who would be willing to continue working for you?

As for the mountains that are hundreds of miles long, they are even more difficult to conquer.

All roads were strictly guarded. What made Aturu even more unbelievable was that the army crossing the mountains was ambushed by a powerful army.

Thousands of rebels were wiped out.

How many ambushes did this little fox arrange on both sides?

Moreover, both sides are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is even more difficult to conquer them.

For a moment, Aturu was really helpless against Hushan Pass, the last barrier of the capital.

It has been delayed for a month and it is already autumn.

The barbarian Khan in the rear anxiously urged him to break through Hushan Pass as soon as possible.

The barbarian Khan is also leading his army to attack the last few cities where Han Dingtian is stationed.

Han Dingtian risked his life to gather the last elite troops and made it impossible for the barbarian Khan to be defeated.

The barbarian Khan also wanted the prime minister to capture the capital and force Han Dingtian to surrender.

After all, the capital is gone, and you, the last remaining border troops, have no choice but to surrender.

But now he is stuck at Hushan Pass, how can he not be anxious.

Aturu was urged to hurry up, so he gritted his teeth and gathered a group of rioting civilians from everywhere.

They were forced to attack the city with all kinds of weapons.

Aturu is also unwilling to use refugees, not because he is kind-hearted.

They felt that the refugees were useless. Not only did they waste food, but they also collapsed at the first sign of trouble, which brought bad luck to their side.

Another thing is that he is the prime minister, so naturally he wants to govern the local area well after conquering the capital.

From now on, these refugees will be the leeks harvested by these barbarians.

Otherwise, if we kill them all, who will farm for you? Do you expect a group of barbarians to put down their butcher knives and pick up hoes to farm?

Tens of thousands of refugees were driven out and threatened by the rebels with weapons, but they did not care about casualties and forced their way through the trenches one by one.

They didn't care at all about the rocks and sacks falling from the sky. To them, retreating meant death, but rushing forward probably meant survival.

"What a bunch of beasts." Qin Haifeng looked at the groups of refugees with red eyes, crying and rushing towards him.

The entire trench was filled with corpses.

Ning Yi looked coldly at the soldiers on the city wall and ordered, "Shoot! Anyone who dares to approach the city will be killed without mercy."

Look at these refugees who don't know how to live or die and only know how to attack by force.

This is different from a field battle, where you only need to defeat a group of armed refugees.

I just drove them away to escape and didn't bother to care about them anymore.

But now, faced with so many refugees, many soldiers felt sorry for them.

Ning Yi suddenly said angrily: "Do you all want them to attack you and beat you to death?"

"If you want to survive, kill them first. They are no longer civilians, they are all enemies. Kill them."

Ning Yi's iron order was enforced forcefully, and arrows rained down like rain, killing a large number of rioters near the city wall, causing heavy losses and loud cries.

Just like mowing the grass, if you get close to a group, a lot of people will be killed or injured.

Finally, the refugees became frightened and no longer dared to move forward. They all retreated frantically.

However, the rebels in the rear mercilessly killed the retreating rioters and forced them to move closer to the city wall.

Tens of thousands of refugees were quickly killed by various defensive equipment, resulting in heavy losses.

Many people squatted on the ground crying and shouting, saying that there was no way out. Moving forward would mean death, and moving backward would also mean death.

Of course, there were also those who approached the city wall and climbed up using simple ladders, but they were quickly killed one after another.

With half of the refugees dead or wounded, Aturu finally stopped the attack.

These refugees finally ran back crying, thinking that there was a way to survive.

Ning Yi shook his head slightly. What a bunch of fools! Do you think the barbarians will give you a chance to live?

But tens of thousands of rebels in the rear had already come up with various siege equipment.

They are the main force. The refugees' task is to break through the obstacles and fill the trenches with their lives and corpses.

All the roads close to the city and the military camps on both wings were almost filled up.

The main forces of both sides finally came into contact.

Ning Yi stared at the approaching rebels, then looked at the large number of barbarian cavalry standing still in the rear.

He felt depressed. No wonder the barbarians attacked the city and captured the stronghold, but he suffered very little loss.

The feelings were won with the help of this group of rebels, while they themselves suffered very little losses.

Looking at the more than 70,000 rebels, they began to attack on all fronts in a mighty force.

Ning Yi was full of confidence. There were 40,000 elite defenders in the city, and more than 50,000 troops on both wings.

Do you think you can capture Hushan Pass with such a small number of rebels?

Go and dream your own dreams.

As the two sides approached, all the catapults in the city were replaced with sacks.

Sacks were thrown continuously outside the city by catapults.

Aturu thought that the rioters had consumed a lot of supplies in the city, but he didn't know that Ning Yi had made sufficient preparations.

The rebels in a line were hit by sacks and finally moved their ladders and battering rams closer to the city wall with roars.

But what awaited them was cans of kerosene falling down and a rain of flaming arrows shooting towards them.

Many ladders and battering rams were ablaze, and the soldiers who had just climbed up fell down with screams.

"Gold juice, gold juice, use the gold juice quickly."

At the command of the officers on the city wall, the soldiers tied their mouths and noses with rags and took basins to fill the big iron pot with boiling hot and extremely smelly golden juice.

It splashed towards the city like water.

All of a sudden, the rebels who were splashed with gold juice screamed in pain, their skin torn and flesh exposed, rolling everywhere.

When the soldiers defending the city saw that the gold juice prepared by His Highness was so reliable, they thought to themselves, "What are they waiting for?" They quickly took large basins and filled them with the gold juice.

It even broke through the nearby ladders, and many soldiers who wanted to rush up immediately fell off the wooden boards with screams.

Although the golden juice was very effective, it was not prepared very well, but it was enough to cause the rebels to suffer heavy losses.

Various rolling logs and stones were thrown down the city walls continuously.

Let these professional siege soldiers experience what cruelty is.

Even the rebels who managed to climb onto the city wall faced a fierce attack from enemies that outnumbered them several times.
