Chapter 17: Annihilation
The winter night is the coldest, the north wind is raging, the wind is like a knife, and the place where the wind knife goes is the most unbearable.
The western frontier of the Tang Kingdom is fertile for thousands of miles, and there is no barrier to the wind.
The army of the Three Kingdoms is finished in the shape of a word. The Shu army was in the west, the Tang army was in the southeast, and the Zhou army was in the northeast, and there was a half-day rapid march between the three armies.
At this time, the army of Shu that had been running quietly for several miles was not affected by the cold wind at all. They marched against the wind, as if to compete with the howling north wind.
Gradually, the Shu army, which was in the lead, discovered the abnormality.
There seemed to be some kind of disgusting smell mixed with the cold wind.
In order to deal with the Zhou army's chain bow and crossbow, the expedition to Shu prepared a large number of modified Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers and hidden weapons, and the armor was re-transformed, the new armor is like a small shield can wrap all the armor-piercing, although there are many inconveniences in action, but at least it can save life without worry.
The careful Shu army has already dismounted from the war horse.
How can there be water on the dead grass on the ground on a dripping winter night when the water is dripping into ice?
Soon someone had discovered that there was no water at all in the bitter meadows!
Oil with a pungent smell! It appeared again on the march of the Shu army, and it had been rumored that Da Zhou had already discovered the oil in this battle! Could it be that Da Zhou had already brought fire oil in this battle?
Realizing this, the forward of the Shu army was suddenly in chaos.
The earth where they are is is full of fire oil!
With just one Mars at this moment, there is no chance of them surviving.
"Tell Your Majesty! There is fire oil! Withdraw!"
The father and son of the Shu Emperor and the general who were both good at saddle horses followed closely behind the vanguard troops, and at this moment they also found that there was fire oil on the ground.
Emperor Shu grabbed the reins of the horse for a while.
In order to cooperate with the dispatch of troops, Emperor Shu of the Tang State sent Li Mingqi to go deep into the Great Zhou to spy on the oil. During this period, Li Mingqi sent messages back from time to time, and he received Li Mingqi's summons just half a month ago. Zhou Rong did not carry oil on this trip. Otherwise, he would definitely not have ventured forward! The Zhou army has a chain of bows and crossbows that are already deadly, and if there is any more fire oil, there is no need to fight at all!
At this moment, how can there be fire oil in this cold and frozen wilderness.
Emperor Shu has never been so frustrated as he is at this moment! After years of painstaking management and planning, he has never seen a trace of success!
Could it be that he Meng Xiangzhao is so unfavored by God?
On this expedition, he brought with him the elite of Shu State, and he also brought all the adult princes and the military salaries that had exhausted the treasury, all of which ......
Before Emperor Shu could finish his thoughts, he heard the exclamation in front of him!
In the dark night, the flames are so bright!
Almost instantaneously!
Boom!
The flames flowed so fast that they far outpaced the speed of the horses, and many of the horses had already been stained with fire oil on their legs and abdomen! Almost instantly, the whole world was only blazing!
Half of the 150,000 elite soldiers of the Shu army have been surrounded by fire.
Even though there is no fire oil in the back, the grass is everywhere, and the grass and branches are all dry to the extreme, and when the wind blows, there are fires everywhere!
The entire fertile field instantly became a terrible human Shura field!
The sergeants on foot at the back quickly figured out the tragic situation ahead, and at this moment they were very glad that their foot strength was not comparable to horsepower! No matter what generals he had, the emperor and the prince were in front, the most important thing was to flee for their lives at the moment. Hurry up and flee while the fire is burning! Due to the panic, the infantry of the Shu Kingdom almost scattered and fled!
For a time, the fire was in the sky, and the wailing was all over the field!
At this time, a horse team of less than 1,000 people directly north of the fire stood against the wind like a sculpture! They were covered in black, revealing only a pair of eyes! Looking at the Shu army struggling in the fire from afar.
