Chapter 293 Fooled
It looked like he was reminding the Barbarian Khan to be careful of the tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen of the Dawu Kingdom. In fact, Aturu was also explaining that he had suffered heavy casualties from these tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen, otherwise he would not have suffered such heavy losses.
The man shook his head and said, "Khan, we didn't see any elite cavalry inside the city from the city walls. Instead, we saw a lot of miscellaneous soldiers, and quite a few wounded soldiers."
"Our general asked me to tell the Khan that we are about to capture the main wall of Hushan Pass. We hope the Khan will send more troops and march south in one fell swoop."
Aturu looked at the barbarian Khan eagerly.
The Barbarian Khan looked at the sky and asked, "Can we enter Hushan Pass before dark?"
The man immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Khan, we have occupied several city walls and will definitely be able to capture Hushan Pass before dark."
"Okay." The Barbarian Khan patted the railing of his palace-like carriage and said, "I will send you 20,000 troops. You must capture Hushan Pass before dark."
Since hope is right before his eyes, the Barbarian Khan naturally does not want to miss the opportunity.
It is very likely that the Wu State suffered enough casualties, and there were indeed not many elite soldiers. The rest were soldiers from the Dujing camp and miscellaneous servants.
It is possible that they are exhausted after a day and really can't take it anymore.
It is also possible that the elite troops did not have time to provide support and a sudden gap occurred.
Whatever the reason, the Barbarian Khan did not want to miss such a good opportunity.
He understood very well that opportunities on the battlefield must not be missed.
Otherwise, once the little guy sends reinforcements, it will be extremely difficult to capture Hushan Pass.
The barbarian Khan was full of confidence and gave orders on the spot. Immediately, 20,000 elite rebels rushed towards Hushan Pass, howling.
It was already dusk, and the barbarians increased their attack intensity.
Judging from the surface, the troops of Dawu Kingdom were indeed in danger on the city wall.
This time, the barbarian troops had almost 40,000 soldiers on the city walls, in the inner city, and outside the city.
Finally, the gates of the city walls were breached one by one.
A group of rebels rushed towards the city howling, but the vanguard troops were confused when they rushed into the city.
What they encountered were not the resisting soldiers of the Dawu Kingdom, nor were they the fleeing army, nor were they any streets.
Instead, there are huge circular walls.
This made the rebels who rushed in immediately realize that they had been tricked, but they had no way to retreat.
Because large numbers of rebel soldiers were constantly rushing in from the rear, each holding a spear and a machete, and rushing in like a crowd.
They all want to rush in and grab a lot of things. This is what these rebels must do every time they break into a city.
The people in front were shouting that they had been cheated, but the people behind didn't care. There was shouting everywhere and no one could hear anything.
The barbarian Khan outside the city even moved forward and watched carefully as groups of soldiers continued to rush in through the broken city gates.
Almost most of the soldiers rushed into the city, and many were still on the city walls.
Atulu even shouted in surprise: "Khan, Hushan Pass has been broken."
The Barbarian Khan nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hushan Pass has finally been broken. The next step is to directly enter the capital."
In the city, Ning Yi on the street was also listening to the report from the front.
Whether it was the inner city wall, the front city wall, or the city walls, there were barbarian soldiers everywhere.
Ning Yi finally gave the order: "Go ahead."
Suddenly, soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons, who had been prepared long ago, came out of the houses everywhere in the rear.
Hundreds of catapults were equipped with kerosene cans. Amidst shouts, they threw the cans at the city walls.
Even outside the city, oil tanks were falling down.
The Barbarian Khan was still discussing with Aturu how to capture the city next. After taking down many cities in the west, how to divide the troops.
Suddenly, oil tanks fell down in front of them.
"What's going on?" The Barbarian Khan frowned. "Why are there catapults throwing things out of the city?"
Logically speaking, with so many troops attacking the city, there would be no way there would be any catapults to throw anything.
They should have been fighting fiercely with the defenders in the city.
But the barbarian Khan didn't believe what was going on with this catapult. He thought it was something thrown by the defenders of the Dawu Kingdom. He would rather believe that these were rebels who had conquered the city and that they had started a counterattack because someone suddenly rebelled.
However, more and more oil tanks fell down, and many barbarian rebels on the city wall could see the situation inside the city and shouted loudly, asking them not to charge anymore.
But it was dusk and the view was unclear, and the battlefield was in chaos, so no one could hear what they were shouting.
Not only did it fall outside the city, but a lot of it also fell on the city walls.
Finally, fireballs and rocks began to fall one after another, and raging fires suddenly broke out all over the ground.
The Barbarian Khan exclaimed: "Oh no, we've fallen into a trap."
Aturu also quickly ordered people to pull the barbarian Khan's large carriage to retreat to the rear, as oil cans occasionally fell on their side.
But the rebels inside and on the city walls were in a miserable state. There were raging fires everywhere, and many people were burned all over and ran around like firemen.
The city was crowded with rebels everywhere, but they couldn't get out. Many oil cans fell in, burning many of them to death.
In the rear, soldiers from the Dawu Kingdom came out of the city one by one, and rushed towards the city wall with deafening shouts of killing.
Moreover, the rain of arrows fell in waves, causing the rebels on the city wall to panic and flee in disorder, resulting in many casualties.
Soon, waves of elite support rushed up and occupied sections of the city walls. In particular, after the heavy weights were dropped, several city gates and ten inner and outer city walls were blocked.
Especially the rebels on the city wall, as people kept falling down, many people chose to jump off the wall to escape.
Although the walls of Hushan Pass are very high, there are many corpses below, so there is still a chance of survival.
But I guess not many people can actually escape.
The defenders drove the rebels off the city wall and ignored them.
All the defenders in the city were eliminated, and they were forced to surrender by shooting arrows continuously.
The defenders in the city wall were all very frustrated, with heavy casualties or being burned by the fire.
They were here, with infinite fear in their hearts. They laid down their weapons one by one and just wanted to survive.
Finally, a few small doors of the simple inner city were opened, and the rebels came out one by one, with their hands raised in dejected looks.
There were circles of torches outside, and elite Dawu Kingdom defenders were everywhere.
When a group of people came out, they were taken to an open space that had been prepared in advance.
After clearing out all the rebels in the city walls and taking a quick inventory, Qin Haifeng came over in shock and reported, "Your Highness, there are actually about 30,000 soldiers trapped in the city walls."
It is hard to imagine that so many soldiers were squeezed into the city wall.
And those who rushed in were ordinary soldiers, not a single one was an archer.
