Chapter 986: A Hundred Years of Long-cherished Wish Fulfilled Now (Part II)

After nightfall, the heavy rain finally stopped, and the same stopped, as well as the fighting in various places in Youzhou City. The Liao army defending the city could not withstand the fierce assault of the Song army at all, even if they were more numerous, but after losing a number of main generals, they could not hold out for long, and after half a day, they were either killed or surrendered, including the military camps everywhere, and the garrisons in the city were suppressed.

Only the soldiers and horses on Ximen's side are still struggling to support themselves, making the last struggle. But as the Song army began to gather all its forces here, their demise was not far off.

At this moment, with Sun Tu's order, the soldiers have pushed many Liao nobles in the city to the front of the team, wanting to use the lives of these hostages to coerce the Liao soldiers in the camp to abandon their weapons and surrender. But this trick, which has been successfully used in other military camps, has little effect here, and the shouts of Yelu and the Guang brothers in exchange for a burst of chaotic arrows, which frightened them a lot, so they could only retreat in a hurry, and then looked at the Song generals beside him: "Generals, we have done our best." ”

The other Song army officers and soldiers were also quite annoyed when they saw this, and Shi Xiu Yang Xiong and other generals even asked for battle: "General, you just give the order, we will lead our brothers into the camp, and we will be able to defeat this military camp in one or two hours!" ”

Yue Fei and Hua Rong looked even more eager to try, this enemy army was the barracks that fled back from them, and the two of them naturally felt a great responsibility, and they couldn't wait to kill them now. Thinking that they have taken down the entire Youzhou City in a short period of time, how can they be stopped by such a small military camp?

Sun Tu's expression was also a little heavy, but he did not nod in the face of everyone's invitation, but looked at the Liao army camp standing against the city wall by the light of the torches around him. This military camp is really quite methodical, the wall is half of the city wall, more than four zhang high, plus there are two arrow towers on the side of the gate, if the enemy is determined to defend to the end, it is really not easy to storm down.

Dong Ping also saw some clues, and immediately helped explain: "Everyone be a little restless, this military camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is forced, I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of price, and there are no casualties of three or five hundred people who can't be killed at all." ”

"We are not afraid of casualties if we kill the enemy for the country!" At that time, several generals in front expressed their attitudes, and then this momentum was also transmitted to other soldiers, and they also shouted: "We are willing to follow the general to kill the Liao soldiers, and we have no regrets about dying!" ”

Sun Tu's expression softened a little when he heard this, and then he spoke loudly: "I know everyone's thoughts, and I also believe that none of my brothers in the Shandong army are afraid of death." But death must also have its value, and now that the situation in Youzhou will be settled, why take such a risk? ”

This attention and compassion for the soldiers suddenly made everyone even more grateful, but the sound of the battle stopped, and everyone looked at their generals with anticipation. They believed that General Sun would come up with the most appropriate solution, as he had done every time before.

At this time, Lin Chong came closer and said, "General, I have a method." We can only besiege and not attack, presumably the military rations in that barracks must be limited, as long as they are starved for a few days, these Liao troops will definitely collapse without attacking......"

These words immediately attracted the approval of many people, but Sun Tu shook his head lightly: "No, this is too slow." We relied on the surprise tactics of our soldiers to capture Youzhou City, maybe soon the Liao army from elsewhere will come to the rescue, we must not leave such a hidden danger in the city. Moreover, the situation in the city is far from being settled, and they cannot be left with any thoughts. As he said this, he had slowly made up his mind in his heart, but the murderous aura in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"What does the general mean?" Dong Ping also scratched his head for a while, and he really couldn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Attack with fire, kill a hundred examples!" Sun Tu said his idea clearly, but everyone looked at each other for a while. Yue Fei was even more straightforward and couldn't hold back: "General, now that the heavy rain has stopped, how can you use fire to attack?" At least we have to wait until tomorrow, when everything in the barracks is dry. ”

The others didn't say anything, but they looked at them with the same thoughts. At this moment, the Liao army camp in front of him is wet from the inside to the outside, not to mention the fire attack, even the Martian son can't get up.

But Sun Tu looked determined: "It's just that ordinary fire attacks naturally can't help them, but I have a way to make this fire burn immediately!" Go and get some trebuchets from near the walls. ”

Was he going to use kerosene? The generals are all speculating, but their hearts are still full of doubts. Not to mention that the oil may not be found for a while, even if there is such a thing, the situation in the barracks is not afraid that the oil can ignite the fire. But since General Sun had given such an order, everyone did not dare to disobey the military order, and immediately some soldiers quickly ran to the armories under the city walls, and within half an hour, four or five stone throwers were dragged to the front of the army.

"General, we may be able to throw stones to destroy the barracks defenses and kill and wound the Liao army." At this time, Dong Ping thought of another simpler way. Indeed, although the walls of this military camp were high, they were far less solid than the real city walls, and as long as they demolished the nearby buildings and took out stones for ammunition, it was enough to destroy the military fortress in front of them.

Everyone else nodded in agreement, at least this method is much more reliable than any fire attack, because until now they have not found fire oil and other fire-causing things. But to their surprise, Sun Tu shook his head: "No, just attack with fire, so as to deter the soldiers and civilians of the whole city, so that they don't dare to have different intentions!" ”

This time, he not only wants to destroy this Liao army camp, but also kills all those Liao soldiers who still want to resist with the most brutal means, so as to set an example for a hundred! And just when everyone was a little stunned, and even wanted to persuade again, Sun Tu's body was deviated, and when his hand was pressed, a huge iron bucket slammed on the ground, bluffing all the generals around.

"This is ......" everyone's eyes widened, full of surprise: "Where did this come from......" They could all be sure that they had been staring at General Sun before, but they couldn't see how he could conjure such a big iron bucket out of thin air.

Sun Tu didn't explain, but took two steps back, and with one more move, another big bucket appeared in front of him. If so, seven or eight iron buckets fell to the ground, and everyone was stunned. What is this, immortal law?

Only some of the cronies who were closest to Sun Tu, although they had some different colors on their faces, they were not too surprised in their hearts, because they had already seen some of their general's abilities. For example, Wu Song Luda and the others once ate the delicious dry food conjured up by Sun Tu out of thin air when the military rations were cut off; And those firearms, which were also improved from the gunpowder in the artillery battle that their own general suddenly took out...... Although Sun Tu didn't really show these things in front of everyone, his careful subordinates still realized the extraordinaryness of his general.

But today, Sun Tu conjured these iron buckets out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes, and the psychological shock to everyone was greater than anything before, everyone looked at him with horror and dismay, and no one could say a word for a long time.

Sun Tu still had that indifferent look: "The oil in this barrel is a hundred times more violent than the fire oil, as long as you put it into the Liao camp and attack it with rockets, you will definitely be able to turn the entire military camp into a sea of fire!" Let's get started! ”

These iron drums were naturally taken out of the system warehouse by Sun Tu, and they were the large barrels of diesel stored in the newly opened warehouse before. The amount of this batch of diesel fuel was far higher than what he saw when he opened the new warehouse that day, and this was also the confidence of Sun Tu to dare to lead a light cavalry to raid Youzhou City this time.

Even if the defenders here were not won and the city gate was not opened and they were defended to the end, Sun Tu could still use these diesel fuels and the contents of other warehouses to turn the entire Youzhou City into a sea of fire. At that time, the jade in Youzhou City was burned, and the soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, so it naturally fell into his hands.

Of course, that was a last resort, at least for now, the result of easily breaking the city was what he would rather see. However, this method still has to be used now, who called these Liao soldiers so ignorant?

After seeing Sun Tu show such a miracle, the soldiers who were still suspicious did not hesitate at all, and acted according to the order, searched out large and small clay pots and bottles from the hotels or houses next to them, and then poured diesel fuel into the barrels. All of a sudden, the pungent smell quickly spread in the air, choking many people with coughing.

By the halfway point of the second watch, everything was ready, and with the sound of the order, one trebuchet after another quickly flicked and threw hundreds of bottles and cans full of diesel fuel towards the Liao army camp, and for a while it was like hail raindrops, covering the entire military camp.

The Liao army in the camp had actually been observing the Song army's every move outside, and after seeing their actions, everyone was also panicked, holding shields one after another, or hiding in a more secure room, but they were completely unable to counteract and resist.

A moment later, the sound of ping-pong resounded in the camp, and then the transparent diesel fuel flowed everywhere in the camp, and the pungent smell filled the whole camp, making people nausea and coughing repeatedly.

"Could it be that Song Jun is planning to use such despicable means to force us to kill them?" The Liao people thought in their hearts, and felt a little ridiculous, they would not stop there.

But before they could express their insistence, a large line of archers in the Song army outside the camp stepped forward, and with the sound of the order, one rocket after another had already whistling, shooting into the sky ahead, and then falling towards the Liao camp. As soon as the arrows with flames landed, stained with diesel fuel floating on the stagnant water, there was a bang, the flames exploded, and the unexpected flames had risen and spread!

The real purgatory on earth appeared in this military camp at the west gate of Youzhou at this moment......
