Chapter 140: Burning Rice Fat

During this time, the name of Tiemo resounded throughout the northern part of Jin. In terms of suppressing bandits, he is definitely the most ruthless in iron ink, otherwise he would not be called the living king of Hades. But in the same way, there are so many soldiers and horses in Xuanfu and Datong Mansion, and they are also the best in the team of the living Hades.

Because he knew that iron and ink were difficult, from the beginning, Yuan Ma did not think of starting a war outside the city, in order to cut off supplies, Yuan Ma even came up with a ruthless move, he ordered all the living people in the nearby villages to be driven into the city. Mizhi City has limited capacity, and those who can't fit it will be slaughtered directly.

In Yuan Ma's view, this is the "strong wall and clear field" in the art of war.

Driving the people into the city has two advantages, on the one hand, it makes it difficult for the officers and soldiers to supply, and on the other hand, if the supplies on their side are insufficient, they can also kill people to replenish the army's rations.

Yuan Ma's nickname of the red-eyed rakshasa is not for nothing, once he rises, he likes to eat people. Therefore, it is also secretly called "man-eating rakshasas".

......

Tiemo finally knew what kind of soldiers and horses he was facing, this was simply a beast army, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, killing people and eating meat, it was even more commonplace.

"Dingshan, Lao Liu, you inform me to go down, and all the departments will rest for the night and attack Mizhi City tomorrow. There are many secret whistles at night, so as not to capsize in the gutter. ”

"Hmm" Liu Guoneng frowned, since he knew that it was Yuan Ma who was guarding the city, his mood became much heavier, "General, Yuan Ma is a ruthless character, even on Wu Yangui's side, few people are willing to pay attention to Yuan Ma." This bastard eats people and asks for his life, and he can do anything, but the people raised under this guy's hands are also capable of fighting, and they are all masters who don't want to die. ”

"Lao Liu, Ben will understand what you mean, the more inhuman enemies you are, the more difficult it is to deal with!"

The next day, as soon as the time arrived, Liu Guoneng took the lead and began to launch a fierce attack on Mizhi City. Liu Guoneng's department is not brave, but the thieves defending the city are also extremely fierce, as long as they see someone climbing up to the top of the city, it is a burst of crazy slashing, and some people even jump down directly with the besiegers.

In just a quarter of an hour, Tiemo reluctantly gave the order to withdraw his troops.

The thieves don't want to die, they are not afraid of loss, but Tiemo can't afford to lose. It would be nice if there was a field cannon, and a few shells would blast it over, and a big hole would soon be blasted out of a ruined city wall like Mizhi.

It's a pity that out of secrecy, Tiemo doesn't want to show his true strength so quickly.

Artillery, it's a good thing, but it's also easy to make people blush. Moreover, when I came, I didn't expect to encounter such a difficult opponent in the first battle.

Liu Guoneng returned to the temporary command post, took off his helmet, and scolded angrily: "Damn, this Yuan Ma is really not easy to deal with, one by one is like crazy, if we continue to fight like this, we will lose too much." ”

Tie Mo nodded heavily, "This battle can't be fought like this, we have to find a way to hook Yuan Ma out and fight." ”

Li Wanqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is very difficult, looking at that posture, Yuan Ma has made up his mind to defend Mizhi City, it is estimated that if we put a cart of gold outside the city, he may not be tempted." ”

Tiemo suddenly felt a headache, and it was really a bit unruly to encounter a ruthless person like Yuan Ma. After thinking about it for a while, Tie Mo slapped the table heavily.

"Dingshan, you go and cut down the nearby jujube forests for me, isn't Yuan Ma going to defend Mizhi City? Then Lao Tzu will give him a fire to burn rice fat, and see if he can't get out! ”

"Burnt rice fat?" Zhou Dingshan was taken aback, and his face couldn't help but become extremely ugly, "Brother Tie, in this way, the people in the city will inevitably be killed and injured countless times, if this matter is stabbed to the top, it will not be good for you." ”

"At this time, can you still take care of these?" Tie Mo glared and said coldly, "Even if we don't do this, the people in the city will be better?" Yuan Ma's bastards really treat them as human flesh buns at all. Don't ink, do as I tell you, I'll carry something. ”

......

In Mizhi City, the thin Yuan Ma sat on the seat of the county government. He frowned, and there was no joy on his face.

Ever since he knew that it was the Living Hades who attacked Mizhi, he hadn't seen a smile on his face anymore. The name of the living king of Hades was not blown out, it was killed.

As soon as I really hit it, I realized how difficult the team of the living Hades was. After only a quarter of an hour, the team of the Living Hades shrank back. For Yuan Ma, this is not a good thing, if the officers and soldiers do not attack the city, then their previous preparations will be useless?

Just thinking to himself, one of the leaders under his command ran in in a panic, "Boss Yuan, it's not good, the officers and soldiers threw a lot of firewood under the city, it seems that they are going to set fire." ”

"Set fire? Are they sick? Do you want to burn down the city wall with fire? ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard a muffled snort in the courtyard, Yuan Ma quickly got up and went out to check, and at a glance, a pair of triangular eyes narrowed.

I saw a man in gray lying on the ground with a rocket stuck in his back. At this moment, the cold sweat on Yuan Ma's forehead seeped out instantly, and he said urgently: "Quick, let the brothers dodge, the officers and soldiers will light fires everywhere." Damn, this mad dog of the living Hades....."

Don't blame Yuan Ma for panicking, I really didn't expect the dignified officers and soldiers to do such a thing.

The fire burns rice fat, but there are still hundreds of people in the city, how can the officers and soldiers do this? I have fought with officers and soldiers countless times before, but I have never encountered this kind of card that does not follow the routine.

It's really not that Yuan Ma didn't know it, now in the early years of Chongzhen, military discipline is still very strict, unlike Chongzhen's last years, when military discipline was sloppy, and the officers and soldiers were ruthless with the chaotic party.

......

Most of the houses in Mizhi City are mud houses, and the roofs are covered with reed meadows, and now in the cold winter, they are almost on fire when they see it. Tiemo not only asked Li Wanqing to take people to release rockets, but also asked people to make a few temporary gunpowder bags with gunpowder, and threw them all into Mizhi City.

In just one hour, the smoke of Mizhi City was billowing out, wailing all over the field, and the thieves and soldiers were scurrying everywhere.

Tie Mo hardened his heart, let people continue to set fires, and his heart was even more secretly ruthless, Lao Tzu didn't believe it, if it burned like this, could Yuan Ma continue to shrink in Mizhi City as a turtle?

Mizhi City is too small, but Yuan Ma has stuffed too many people into the city, and now that it is on fire, there will be big trouble.

Two hours passed, the fire spread, and Yuan Ma's command also suffered heavy losses. Yuan Ma could see that this Living Yama had no intention of stopping, as long as there were enough rockets, the Living Yama would dare to burn Mizhi City to a white ground.

Soon, Yuan Ma made a decision, rather than being burned to death, it was better to go out of the city and fight for life and death.

In the early afternoon, the gate of Mizhi City let out a painful groan, and it fell to the ground, and Yuan Ma finally led people to the outside of the city.

Yuan Ma not only took people out of the city, but also drove the people out of the city, and under the threat of death, tens of thousands of people fled in all directions, almost drowning the people of Tiemo.

And Yuan Ma led the people, followed closely behind, and pressed towards the direction of Tiemo little by little.

Tiemo couldn't help but be a little anxious, if he let the people attack and the formation was scattered, then how could he fight with Yuan Ma's team?

He is mainly a musketeer, and his fire coverage and lethality are all maintained by the formation.

Almost instantly, Tiemo made a difficult decision.
