Chapter 289: Burning the City
Good-looking people remember the fastest and most complete website updated by this site "Book City" in a second!
Yunhu guessed for the first time that something had happened in Wangbian City!
However, Yunhu did not dare to easily let other defense areas send troops to support.
After all, it is necessary to guard against the barbarian army moving away from the mountains and attacking from other defense areas.
The brutes may not attack, but they have to defend themselves!
At the same time, the Silver Dragon team members scattered in various defense areas began to gather towards Wangbian City at a rapid pace.
Including Liu Feihua.
Soon, the battle report reached Yunhu.
When he heard that Ye Changan abandoned the city wall and retreated to the exit of the city, Yunhu immediately figured out Ye Changan's tactics and called Ye Changan extremely bold.
It was completely dark, and the air was filled with acrid smoke.
In the early morning, the soldiers of the barbarian country attacking other defense areas rushed to Wangbian City.
There are as many as 50,000.
However, Tuoba Shi still did not give the order to continue the attack.
He knew very well that if he wanted to break through Ye Changan's defense of less than 10,000 people, 50,000 people, even if he could do it, most of them would have to be killed or injured.
"Father, it's better to set fire to the city," Tuoba Kun's face was fierce, "Ye Changan's bastard is extremely treacherous, let's burn the border city and raze this place to the ground, when the time comes, Ye Changan won't be able to stop us." โ
"No," Tuoba Shi's face was tired, "Ye Chang'an has thousands of our prisoners in his hands. โ
Tuoba Kun gritted his teeth and said word by word: "For our plan, a thousand people, it is worth dying!"
"Smack~"
Tuoba Shi slapped Tuoba Kun in the face and angrily reprimanded: "It is glory to die on the battlefield, and it is our eternal shame to abandon them!"
Knowing that the barbarian 50,000 soldiers surrounded Wangbian City, Yunhu became nervous.
If Ye Changan chooses to retreat and does not hold the pass, these 50,000 soldiers, once dispersed to Wuwei Kingdom...
Immediately, Yunhu ordered that all the soldiers in the defense area were left with only five hundred soldiers to guard, and the others immediately rushed to Wangbian City to support.
In this battle, for the time being, it was the barbarians who had the upper hand.
After all, because Lin Pingju fled, and the barbarian army popularized the squad combat tactics, they took the lead.
In addition, the number of barbarian troops dispatched this time is really quite a lot.
Those who attack have no scruples, but those who defend must be restricted everywhere, which is the disadvantage of Yunhu's side.
Even if he rushed to the aid of Wangbian City, Yunhu also ordered that five hundred soldiers be left in each defense area to monitor the movement outside the defense area.
"Father, don't hesitate, Yunhu is here with someone! It won't take an hour to come!" Tuoba Kun knelt down suddenly, crying bitterly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how many years have we waited for it." โ
"Order! Castle ยท ยท Tuoba Shi seemed to have lost all his strength, and collapsed in Tuoba Kun's arms, "Others, hold the city wall, Yunhu has a large number of people, and the army can only attack from under the city wall." โ
Tuoba Kun wiped away a handful of tears, "Yes, please also ask my father to personally assassinate Ye Changan, once he dies, our chances of victory are greater." โ
Tuoba Shi nodded, staggered to his feet, and slowly walked down the tower.
Not long after, a large fire began to burn from five hundred meters away from the defense line arranged by Ye Changan.
Soon, the sky above the border city was illuminated by the light of fire.
In the city, the barbarians who were seriously wounded but not dead were burned and screamed.
Ye Changan's face changed, "So ruthless!"
"Bring out the captives who are locked up in the house, and don't be burned to death. โ
Ye Changan frowned, "Go, send someone to tear down the houses two hundred meters away, vacate the things that are easy to burn, and establish a fire barrier." โ
"Yes!"
Chu Jiang frowned and looked at Ye Changan's gloomy face, "My lord, in this way, our advantage will be gone, the barbarian army can be dispersed, and we can't stop it." โ
"No, as long as this fire is not extinguished, they will not be able to break through the defense line," Ye Changan's eyes lit up, "Let the others collect everything that can be burned, and we will fight a protracted battle." โ
An hour later, the fire had already spread, two hundred meters away from Ye Changan and the others.
But the houses have been torn down and all the timber has been collected.
The stones and earth used to build the house formed a fire barrier that kept the fire out.
Behind the firebreak, there are mountains of wood and firewood, tables, chairs and benches, doors and windows cloth...
In addition, as long as the enemy is not allowed to burn down this last two hundred meters through the firebreak, then the defensive advantage of Ye Changan and the others is still there, and the crowded streets will still cause huge losses to the barbarian soldiers.
Ye Changan sighed, as soon as this fire burns, it means that Tuoba Stone is impossible to retreat.
I don't know, how many more people will die.
A few miles away from Wuwei City, seeing the flames soaring into the sky, Yunhu and the others' faces changed greatly, and they even sped up.
Liu Feihua's face was pale, and she rode on horseback and shouted: "Ye Changan, you must not have anything!"
The fire separated Ye Changan from the barbarian army, and only one person could pass through.
Dressed in wet clothes, Tuoba Stone rushed into the flames.
Then he jumped out of the firebreak.
The armor on his body was constantly emitting green smoke, apparently extremely hot, and it had burned his skin.
Ye Changan's complexion changed greatly, "Release the arrow!"
The rain of arrows continued to shoot at the Tuobashi, forcing him to duck behind a room.
Looking at the firebreak behind him, Tuoba Shi's face was full of ashes, "Ye Changan, you can't die well, you're too smart, you can't die well!"
Yes, Tuoba Shi originally thought that this fire could burn all the areas defended by Ye Chang'an, and those barbarians who were burned to death would also become big heroes.
Unexpectedly, Ye Changan actually blocked the fire, this fire was not established at all, and those barbarian soldiers were seriously wounded and died in vain!
The fire is still 400 meters away, and Ye Changan has already decided to build a firebreak at a distance of 200 meters. Hate!
Ye Changan was protected by Chu Jiang behind him, and shouted at Tuoba Shi's hideout: "Go back, withdraw your troops!"
"It's too late! Yunhu has already brought people to surround him, and this battle can't be stopped. โ
Ye Changan frowned, let Yunhu let the barbarian army leave?
"You go back now and leave with your people, General Yunhu will not choose to fight you to the death, he cares about the lives of his soldiers and will let you leave. โ
Tuoba Shi suddenly appeared, "Impossible, only to kill you, and then I will order the charge and lead people to flee into the Wuwei Kingdom, I have no way back!"
Ye Changan shook his head, a tear fell from the corner of his eyes, and waved his hand gently.
Tuoba Stone's strength is indeed strong, constantly dodging the rain of arrows.
But in the end, he was shot with an arrow.
"My lord, I've run out of arrows!"
Hearing this, Ye Changan's face turned pale, but Tuoba Shi was crazy, holding a scimitar and rushing quickly.
Ye Changan's hand, which was already on his waist, held the secret weapon.
Chu Jiang quickly pounced forward, pulled out a crossbow arrow, and shot it out quickly.
This arrow only grazed Tuoba Shi's arm.
Then, I saw Tuoba Stone throw a stone violently, throw it out and smash it into Chu Jiang's chest.
With a "dang" sound, the armor on Chu Jiang's chest suddenly deflated, and his body flew out upside down.
And the Tuoba Stone has already appeared three meters away from Ye Chang'an.
"Be careful, adults!" A group of soldiers blocked in front of Ye Changan, but they were knocked away in the blink of an eye.
A glittering scimitar appeared in front of him, less than a meter away.
Ye Changan's eyes sank, and he suddenly pulled out his weapon.
"Bang~"
There was a loud bang that shook everyone present.
Tuoba Stone only saw a burst of firelight blooming, and then, as if he had been hit by a brute bull, his chest flew upside down.
When he fell to the ground, he was already covered in blood and couldn't move.
One of the soldiers immediately stepped forward and held him down and snatched his weapon.
The dignified six-star master was arrested like this.
Ye Changan took a look and found that Tuoba Stone was only injured, and those projectiles did not drill into his body, but were all blocked by the armor on his body.
Ye Changan sighed, "The power is not enough, and the fight is not accurate enough, I am also..." I don't want to kill you. โ
"Tie him up, Jean ยท Let the barbarians surrender and remember to treat the captives favorably. โ
Thousands of soldiers shouted "We have captured the Tuoba Stone, surrender and not kill".
The sound resounded throughout the city, even dragging out the crackling sound of the fire.
On the city wall, Tuoba Kun's face turned pale, and he lost his mind and said: "Impossible, my father is a six-star master, and it is impossible to be arrested." โ
Several generals surrounded Tuoba Kun and roared, "Let's go and save the Great Commander!"
"Can't go!" Tuoba Kun's face was full of tears, "The fire is too big, to save people, I don't know how many soldiers will be killed or wounded." โ
"Do you want to surrender?"
"Resolutely not surrender," Tuoba Kun turned his heart sideways, his teeth clattering, "Let's wait, wait for the fire to go out, and then... Rush over, rush into the Wuwei country, their people, will pay the price!"
"My father is a great hero!"
The sky will be bright.
Yunhu led nearly 50,000 soldiers to the city wall.
There is no way to do this, if you attack from the city wall, the wall will be too narrow, and the soldiers will not be able to use their fists and kicks.
In that case, it would almost be the end of one life for one life, which is not what Yunhu wants.
"Tuoba Stone, it's too late for you to retreat now, I'll let you go!"
Tuoba Kun stood on the city tower and yelled, "Yunhu, can't you hear me, my father was caught by Ye Changan's bastard, we can't retreat!"
Yunhu pricked up his ears and listened, and sure enough, he heard a shout.
"Ye Changan, this kid, turned out to be... Caught the Tuoba Stone?" Yunhu's face was weird, "Why is this kid so powerful." โ
No one noticed that Liu Feihua had already shown her skills as an assassin and infiltrated the city.
It's just that the fire is getting worse and worse, and she can't get by.
The situation was stalemate for a while, and this stalemate was stalemate until the afternoon of the next day.
Smoke billowed from the air, and it was scorching.
The fire is finally getting smaller.
The red-eyed Tuoba Stone stared at the burned streets, and sure enough, many of the houses had collapsed, and there were more places for the barbarians to disperse.
Tuoba Kun's eyes were split, and he raised his knife suddenly: "Brothers, it's now, rush with me, rush into the country of Wuwei, and avenge the dead brothers!"
50,000 people sprinted, how heroic was the scene?
In Ye Changan's life, it is estimated that he does not want to see it for the second time.
Ye Changan glanced at the Tuoba Stone next to him who was bound by iron chains and his face was full of dead gray, sighed, and slowly closed his eyes, "Add fire." โ
In an instant, a large amount of flammable materials such as cloth were thrown into the flames of the firebreak.
This firebreak has become a complete 'wall of fire', and it has also completely cut off the road of the barbarian army.
"These timbers can burn for at least ten hours," Ye Changan looked at Tuoba Shi, "Let them surrender, I promise not to hurt them, and when the time comes, when the two countries negotiate, you can still go home." โ
Tuoba Shi's eyes were glazed, and tears seemed to have dried up, "Ye Changan, you are too terrible, why, why are you not the commander of my barbarian country?"
"I said a long time ago, I don't see people dead and injured, let you go, the people of Wuwei Country will suffer," Ye Changan sighed: "At this time, all the barbarian troops should enter the city, the city wall is occupied by General Yunhu, and you are surrounded." โ
"Surrender, 50,000 lives are in your hands. โ
Tuoba Shi slowly got up and roared with tears: "I order!"
"All the barbarians, cast ยท ยท Descend ยท ยท "
On the other side of the flames, Tuoba Kun roared like crazy as if he had been struck by lightning, "Father, you can't surrender, you can't say the word surrender!"
Ye Changan only felt very tired.
Tired, especially, seeing too many casualties that I don't want to see.
Despite Tuoba Stone kneeling and pleading, the barbarians surrendered.
Ye Changan also fulfilled his promise, treated them preferentially, and did not let them be hurt in the slightest.
Yunhu said that this is war, and Ye Changan's compassion cannot be tolerated.
Liu Feihua said, Ye Changan is right, if it weren't for Ye Changan today, the remaining 50,000 people in the barbarian army, and the defenders of Wuwei State, would have at least half of them killed or wounded.
Ye Changan just took off the armor on his body and lay on the city wall exhausted, drunk.
