Chapter 817: Burning the Jackal Hu Camp

The fire was raging, and Qin Jin stood on his horse, still with his usual expressionless face. But Yang Xingben knew that Qin Jin made the decision to burn down the rebel camp, but his heart was dripping blood. A million stones of grain were burned, and no one could have blinked an eye.

However, Yang Xingben still thinks that this decision is not wrong, and compared to Jiangshan Sheji, let alone one million stone of grain, even if it is ten million stones, what is there to regret? A few years ago, Gao Xianzhi set fire to the Taiyuan warehouse in Shaanzhou, and the millions of stone grain accumulated in it were burned.

Under the night, Qin Jin's eyes flowed with flickering flames, which were sky-high flames rising not far away. In fact, Yang Xingben was a little self-conscious, he thought that Qin Jin's face was solemn, but out of regret for the million stone military rations, in fact, once Qin Jin made a decision, he would never have a half-hearted tail.

However, his solemn face was not without reason, he had just received a secret report from the spies in Hebei, Ashina Chengqing had died under Shi Siming's hands, so there was not much time left for them, if Luo Yang was not captured before Shi Siming freed up his hand to fight back, the situation of the Shenwu Army would be complicated.

"The old man really underestimated the firearms battalion, he used to think that Qingxu Zhenren was full of strange skills and tricks, but he couldn't imagine that he could compare to the elite in the army!"

These days, Fang Xuan has been busy with the dispatch and distribution of private enterprises, and he can't wait for one day to be used for two days, but fortunately, he has not delayed the progress of the march, and he has not made time to rest for a while until today.

But Fang Xuan is a person who can't be idle, when he heard that the firearms battalion of the Shenwu Army was going to surprise attack the rebel camp today, he suddenly came to the spirit again, but he wanted to see how such a group of old and weak soldiers could fight against the elite of the rebels.

Unexpectedly, the firearms battalion didn't plan to kill it with real knives and guns at all, dozens of tall stone cannons aimed at the rebel camp at the same time, and the incendiary objects with the flames smashed into the rebel camp like a fire meteor.

Qingxuzi's people didn't go to the front line to command at all, and even sat next to him and explained.

"Don't underestimate our stone cannon, Dr. Qin also specially gave it a name, called an incendiary bomb. ”

In fact, this thing is also very simple, with a pottery jar filled with fire oil as the main body, the outside is wrapped with dry hemp soaked with oil, after the dry hemp is ignited, the stone cannon will throw this "incendiary bomb" out, the jar will be smashed on the target will inevitably shatter, the fire oil inside splashes and flows, sticking to the burning soaked oil dry hemp, will also be ignited together.

"If it goes on like this, even if Da Luo Jinxian is here, he won't be able to save this monstrous fire!"

The more Qingxuzi spoke, the more proud he became, and he shook his head.

Fang Xuan greatly appreciated this and said again and again:

"Qingxu Zhenren has made a lot of contributions!"

But halfway through his words, he had some doubts.

"Is this really something incomprehensible?"

Qingxuzi had not yet woken up from his smugness, so he replied casually:

"Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, how can this 'incendiary bomb' be an exception? At this time, as long as a downpour falls, our plan today will be in vain!"

Yang Xingben's face sank at that time, once this poor-mouthed Taoist priest became proud, he didn't have a door to open his mouth, if it really rained heavily, wouldn't it be self-urging and unlucky? Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he also had a lot of taboos about this kind of thing.

Qingxuzi also realized his gaffe, and immediately pulled back with a dry smile.

"You don't have to worry about the sky, the poor road watched the stars yesterday night, and there will be no rain for the next three days, and the sky is dry."

Qin Jin didn't care much about these auspicious words or not, he was calculating the time and burning the entire rebel camp, it was absolutely difficult to do it without three or two days of effort, and the biggest variable during this period was whether the rebels in Luoyang City would come out to rescue, because this was their last chance.

For this reason, Qin Jin specially deployed heavy troops to monitor Luoyang City, and more than 10,000 private soldiers led by Tian Chenghe, including more than 20,000 people under Xue Huan's department, all paid close attention to Luoyang City, and as long as the rebels drove out, they would give a head-on attack. In addition, the Hui soldiers of Moyan Siluo were still closely watching the movements of the river in the rebel camp, and as soon as anyone rushed out, they would immediately follow and kill them.

The reason why there is no choice to intercept is because people can burst out with unlimited potential in the situation of surviving in death, while the defeated soldiers who flee are different, the front is the way to live, and the fool will stop and fight to the death with the pursuers.

"Strange, strange!"

After a long time, Fang Xuan frowned and said two sentences.

Qin Jin turned his head and asked:

"What worries Fang Xianggong?"

Fang Xuan was blunt, pointing to the blazing rebel camp in the distance.

"Doctor, look at this fire, we are six or seven miles away and still feel the hot wind blowing in our faces, why are there not many rebels in the camp rushing out? Could it be that they still want to live and die with the camp?"

Qin Jin had thought about this question a long time ago, and even considered the possibility of digging tunnels, but in the end he denied them one by one. The terrain outside Luoyang City is relatively complicated, even if the tunnel is really dug up, it can only be used for a few people to escape, and it is difficult for tens of thousands of people to escape in a short time.

Therefore, although he was also suspicious in his heart, he didn't know what the rebels were going to do, but he was still patient, waiting for the fire to completely burn everything to ashes, and now Fang Xuan raised this question, so he said casually:

"Strange is strange, under the raging fire, how can they get the coincidence?"

Fang Xuan laughed along.

"Doctor Qin is calm, the old man is not as good as more!"

Qin Jin was a little embarrassed, he still felt very awkward to praise Fang Xuan in public.

"The minister of the house is serious, where is it calm, you really have to wait, you have to wait, you have to wait, you have to wait, it's better to wait steadfastly, wait until the fire burns out and goes out, won't everything fall into place?"

As he spoke, someone exclaimed:

"Look, the rebels are open, and someone is rushing out inside......"

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the daylight is gradually dimming, and by the light of the fire, you can still see how many people rushed out of the rebels' gate, and the scale is only a thousand people, compared to the total of about 20,000, it is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Could it be that they are suspicious?"

Fang Xuan asked as if talking to himself, Qin Jin was silent, and Yang Xingben sneered:

"It doesn't matter if he is suspicious or not, this is not enough to stuff his teeth, and he can eat as much as he comes out!"

Yang Xingben still knows a lot about the grinding Yan Siluo who is eager to fight for merit, and rushing out of a thousand people is equal to a thousand heads.

Because Qin Jin had privately promised Mo Yan Siluo that in addition to the reward of the imperial court, he would also give him an additional ten gold for the beheading level. In other words, ten gold for one head, a thousand heads are enough to have ten thousand gold. If it is beheaded tens of thousands, it is 100,000 gold. The so-called gold and silver mountains are nothing more than that, not to mention that Mo Yan Siluo is mostly restricted by his brother in Huifu, and his subordinates are not rich.

Qin Jin did this, naturally because he was afraid that he would relapse into his old ways, and he had the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and now he used the bounty to stimulate their enthusiasm, and he was sure to do it.

This matter is already an unspoken secret among several high-level officials in the Shenwu Army, although everyone is dissatisfied, but for the sake of the overall situation, no one jumped out to dismantle Qin Jin's platform.

Qingxuzi smiled and continued:

"Moyan Siluo has made a lot of windfalls!"

Only Fang Xuan just came back, he didn't know the inside story, and he was confused by Qing Xuzi's words, and the bounty given by the thousand-level court for beheading was not much, because the bounty was only incidental, and the real highlight was the rank and title that could be promoted after the transfer of the honor.

Sure enough, after the rebels of more than 1,000 people rushed out of the barracks in a sea of fire, they were like mud cows entering the sea, without even a splash of water, and they were killed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Jin woke up like a dream at this time.

"Quick, herald Mo Yan Luo, let him keep a few alive!"

Fang Xuan understood that Qin Jin wanted to find out the situation in the military camp from the mouth of the living mouth.

However, Mo Yan Siluo was a lot smarter this time, and before the generals who gave the order left, he had already sent someone to escort more than a dozen prisoners over and handed them over to Qin Jin for interrogation.

Seeing this, everyone felt that Mo Yan Siluo was really interested in this battle of Luoyang, and was no longer half-hearted like last time, secretly harboring ghosts.

Qingxuzi smiled dryly:

"This Hu family has something to create, but I don't know how long it can last. ”

The length of time he was referring to was how long Mo Yan Si Luo could cooperate wholeheartedly with the Shenwu Army, after all, Mo Yan Qi Luo's bad reputation had spread far and wide, and Fang Xuan hated him even more. The Shenwu Army will not do tricks, and there is not so much gold for the first level, once it is unprofitable, it will become unknown whether this can be started for a long time.

Fang Xuan is worthy of being the prime minister, although he hates Mo Yan Siluo very much, but he does not show it on his face at all. In fact, even if he shows it, no one will say anything, you must know that Fang Xuan's defeat has an inexplicable relationship with Mo Yan Siluo, if it wasn't for Mo Yan Siluo to dismantle behind his back, maybe Luoyang City at this time would have been recovered.

"It can be made, but it can be used by my Datang, my Datang will definitely enrich its wings, Mo Yan Siluo is a person who understands, how can he not understand this truth? Qingxu Zhenren doesn't have to worry so much......

Qingxuzi said in his heart, if Mo Yan Siluo is really an understanding person, why did he dismantle your platform in the first place? But he is not a person who is not responsible, so he only swirled in his stomach with these words.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report:

"There are two city gates in the south of Luoyang City......
