Chapter 1078: Fiery Oil! It's Fiery Oil!
The two men took the kerosene and on their way back took a detour to visit the young man from Beimo and his family who had led them the way, only to find that they were no longer there.
I hope they have moved to a more suitable place to live!
The nobles of Northern Desert exploited the common people very much. They hoped that after Northern Desert surrendered to Dai Viet, the lives of the people of Northern Desert would be better.
The two men returned to the team, and the Dai Viet army marched forward for another two days, finally arriving at the first border town in the northern desert.
Perhaps because Dai Viet had never crossed the border to invade the Northern Desert before, the border city in the Northern Desert was built carelessly, and the city walls were very low, so low that one could climb up without any tools.
The Beimo generals defending the city were so frightened when they saw so many Dai Viet troops approaching the city for the first time that their legs went limp. After a brief symbolic resistance, they abandoned the city and fled.
Although the first battle was a victory, the Dai Viet soldiers did not get carried away because their strength was far greater than that of the enemy and there was no comparison at all.
After entering the city, the people of the Northern Desert who had not had time to escape were terrified, fearing that the Dai Viet army would burn, kill and loot like they had done to the Dai Viet people.
However, they were surprised to find that the Dai Viet people did not kill them, but instead let them rest for a night in empty houses, under eaves, or on the streets in the city, and then marched out of the city early the next morning.
When they arrived at the second city, the soldiers guarding the first city were also there. The soldiers of the two cities worked together to resist the foreign enemy, but they only had a brief encounter before they fled in disgrace, abandoning the people in the city.
Dai Viet has sent so many troops this time. Only by mobilizing the whole country of Northern Desert can we resist.
It was not until they captured the fourth city and reached the fifth city that the troops led by General Nisbi and the two princes of Beimo arrived.
Nisbi was furious. They could have arrived a few days earlier and at least saved the fourth city.
As a result, when the two useless princes left Kyoto for the first time, they found the roads outside so difficult to travel on. They kept complaining that their buttocks hurt and they had to rest after walking for a while. As a result, Nicebi's original plan to outflank the Dai Viet Army's rear could not be implemented, and they could only fight the enemy in the fifth city.
The wall of this fifth city was quite tall and solid. It couldn't be compared with the Beiguan City, but it was stronger and more stable than most city walls.
Nisby was confident that he could defend the city.
As long as the city gate is not broken, they can kill so many Dai Yue troops here.
With so many soldiers in Dai Viet, no one knew how much food they consumed every day. He didn't believe that Dai Viet's food and grass could be comparable to those they had to defend the city. After all, they could still transport food and grass from the rear area continuously.
However, what Nisby did not expect was that these people did not adopt traditional siege methods such as climbing ladders and gate hammers that consume a lot of manpower, but directly pushed forward a dozen catapults.
I don’t know how these Dai Yue people transported such a huge and heavy catapult so quickly.
Moreover, even if they can throw stones from a distance, they can just hide!
Moreover, they can also fight back with catapults!
Therefore, the Beimo side also set up more than a dozen catapults, intending to attack stone with stone.
However, when he saw that the stones placed on the catapult by the other party were black, he turned pale with fright.
"Fire oil! It's fire oil!"
Nisbi screamed in panic, urging his own side to throw stones at the other side and seize the initiative.
Just as he was looking around frantically for a place to hide his body, with a "whoosh", a sharp arrow flew past his left cheek, causing him to feel a pain in his ear, and his left ear left him.
