Fierce turtle oil is a kind of burning substance used in ancient Chinese wars with fire as a weapon.

During the Five Dynasties and Song and Yuan dynasties, Western Regions had become a weapon for war use. It is recorded that Champa, Vietnam, paid tribute to the Chinese emperors many times during this period.

The so-called fierce tinder is the name when China used oil as a war use in ancient times.

Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in his "Book of Han·Geographical Records" that "Gaonu County has flammable water". Gaonu County in the Han Dynasty was in the northeast of Yan'an, Shaanxi.

In the first year of Xuanzheng in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Turkic rulers sent troops to siege Jiuquan, Gansu. The local military and civilians used "stone water" to burn the enemy's siege tools. This fire "the clearer the water will be, and Jiuquan will rely on it to gain benefits."

Here, Song Xiance had already ordered people to stock up on a large amount of hot tincture oil. The hot tincture oil was put into the jar with cotton thread left on it. Light the cotton thread, throw it down and burn it.

Therefore, although the city wall they built temporarily was not high, once the Qing soldiers attacked, they could withstand the Qing soldiers' offensive as long as they used heavy turbulence.

The old site of Baiyin Factory was in ruins. Most of the construction of the city walls was rammed earth. The ramming technology was relatively rough. Specifically, the ramming layer was thick and uneven, and the ramming was not dense enough. Some even used simple stacking, so the wall body was poorly solid.

"Xiang Liu, are the things ready?" Song Xiance asked the happy magpie Xiang Liu beside him.

Xiang Liu of the Eastern Palace Guard nodded: "Don't worry, Lord Song, as you told me, everything is ready."

Song Xiance nodded: "Okay, wait for my order, everyone will prepare."

It looked quiet outside Baiyin City, but fortunately, it seemed that the Qing cavalry would not come for a while.

Everyone was waiting quietly. The temporary team formed by the soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard and the defeated soldiers from all over Shaanxi were guarding Baiyin City under the leadership of Song Xiance, protecting the people's retreat.

Many of the defeated soldiers regretted it. The Ming army in the defending towns in various places was about to collapse when they encountered the Qing soldiers.

They bump around like headless flies, either wandering everywhere and becoming bandits. Or they become a group of scattered soldiers and wandering brave men.

When the scattered soldiers met the Qing soldiers, they could only be slaughtered. So when they met Song Xiance and recruited soldiers, the defeated soldiers joined them without hesitation.

Because these defeated soldiers knew that being a scattered man outside would only wait for death. If someone could lead them and bring them together, they would not know whether they could fight or not, but if there were too many people, they would feel at ease.

In other words, it is better for a group of people to die than for one person to die.

So, under the leadership of Song Xiance, these defeated soldiers followed the soldiers of the Eastern Palace Guard to guard Baiyin City. In this isolated and helpless Baiyin City, many people began to regret it.

I would have not joined Lord Song’s team if I had known it, but now I regret it is useless. Because Lord Song’s speech is very contagious and inciting.

Every time Song Xiance spoke to the soldiers, he always made the soldiers excited. The defeated soldiers often followed him with passion.

When Jiannu came, we should kill the enemy and serve the country. A man should stand up and contribute to the country.

So the passionate defeated soldiers finally recognized them. They decided to support Lord Song to the death and resolutely defend Baiyin City.

Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others went out of the city to find out the news. In the evening, there was a horse outside Baiyin City. It was Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others who came back.

Song Xiance ordered the city gate to be opened, and soon, Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others entered the city. Song Xiance hurriedly met, and Yuan Xiaoxiao and others turned over and dismounted.

"How is it outside the city? What's the situation? Have you noticed the enemy's movement?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao lowered her head and bowed, "Sir, Jiannu's cavalry is only seventy miles away from here. It is estimated that they will arrive early tomorrow morning."

Song Xiance breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled bitterly and said, "I thought they could call tonight. It seems that I was thinking too much. Well, the later they came, the more beneficial it would be for us. Tell the soldiers that everyone can have a good sleep tonight."

Having said that, no one could sleep. The city wall was brightly lit, and even if it was frozen into a dog, the Ming army was still patrolling the city wall, for fear that it would suddenly become a military force that would appear.

Fortunately, it was safe and sound all night until dawn.

When the sun rose from the east, the frost on the ground did not dissipate. The Ming army on the city wall was trembling with coldness, and the sunlight finally poked its head out. It seemed that today was a good weather. But what they were about to face was a tragic battle.

What should come will finally come, the sound of horse hooves. The heat from the war horses made the Qing army that came from afar filled with a layer of mist. Huang Taiji's army finally arrived.

On the city wall, Song Xiance directed his subordinates to make simple defenses. In fact, they did not have any good defense measures in the face of the fierce Qing soldiers.

It was nothing more than holding the weapons in his hand, one of the few archers hid in the battlements and aiming at the Qing army under the city. Once the Qing soldiers launched an offensive, they launched a counterattack.

The one who came was not someone else, but Huang Taiji's main force. 3 It was not enough to be stuck in the gap between the teeth when facing the small silver city.

Even Huang Taiji himself did not take Baiyin City to heart. He even ordered the soldiers to sit on the city wall and drink when the sun rose above his head.

This means that the Qing cavalry could successfully capture Baiyin City in less than half a day. The main forces of the Qing army under the city wall gathered one after another, but Song Xiance on the city wall seemed not nervous now.

Unlike ordinary generals. Song Xiance told his subordinates: "Don't easily protrude your head. Jiannu's archers are powerful. If you want to survive, just hide and wait for the order. What I see is not how many enemies you kill, but to save your life first."

Without such a general, the defeated soldiers had never met such a general. Their generals would let themselves die, and they wished everyone would rush hard.

However, Lord Song is different. He told everyone that only by saving their lives can they fight back.

Because Song Xiance knew that he was not an invincible and disciplined army, but a defeated army. Such a defeated army would be good enough to cage them without dispersing them.

Song Xiance was still very leisurely, and even when Huang Taiji was about to launch an attack, Song Xiance actually finished coaching his subordinates and walked down the city wall to the city.

The commander left the commander without permission, which was unheard of. However, the one who succeeded Song Xianshu was Yuan Xiaoxiao, who was the Eastern Palace Guard. In the city, Yan Yishuang and the others were still carrying out another task.

There is still a lot of food in the city, at least one or two thousand stones.
