Chapter 757: Burning the City
All this happened too fast, so fast that the surrounding people and others have not been able to react, this duel between the commanders of the Song and Wu armies has already been decided, Sun Tu's gun has been against Pang Wanchun's chest, as long as he stabs hard, this commander of the Wu army, the backbone of the hearts of all the soldiers will die.
But compared to this result, it was the process that had a greater impact on everyone. In the past, among the fighting generals they knew, it was not that no one had used extraordinary means, even Pang Wanchun himself actually thought that once he was defeated in a battle, he could also use his most powerful bow and arrow to injure the enemy, so as to take Sun Tu in one fell swoop, and even if it was not good, he could also shoot Sun Tu with one arrow, so as to eradicate a major disaster for His Majesty.
But who would have thought that Sun Tu, who had looked bright and upright before, would actually make a trick at the beginning, and he also used a terrifying weapon that Wu Jun had never seen before, just the sudden noise and sudden fire were terrifying enough, not to mention the large number of fragments that shot out in all directions and almost enveloped Pang Wanchun and his horse. It can be said that his Sun Tu is really invincible and extremely insidious.
It seemed that he felt the resentment and unwillingness in Pang Wanchun's eyes, and Sun Tu said again: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the two armies only seek to win before the battle, and they will do whatever it takes." Pang Wanchun, what do you say? โ
"Hehehe...... cough cough ......" A miserable laugh mixed with several low coughs came out of Pang Wanchun's mouth, and at the same time, there was a mouthful of blood, and his body was trembling slightly: "The skills are not as good as people, I have nothing to say when I lose." After a pause, he took a deep look at Sun Tu again: "You are really more terrible than I thought, and it is not unjust to lose in your hands." However, since I am a courtier of Wu State, there is no possibility of defecting to the second masterโโ! At this point, he slammed his hand on the ground, used the last bit of strength, and quickly straightened up.
With a pop, Sun Tu didn't have time to withdraw the spear, the other party had already slammed his chest on the tip of the spear, and it passed through his chest, but there was no pain on his face, only relief and a calm smile, and he even sighed softly: "At least this time I killed you by ......surprise" As soon as the words fell, the person looked forward again, the spear had penetrated from his back, and his head hung down, and there was no sound.
This time it was really much beyond Sun Tu's expectations, he had thought that the other party would be dying or sneak attack him, but he didn't expect Pang Wanchun to die so simply, and he was even surprised that his whole person was wooden now, and he didn't have time to take back the gun just now. In this way, he could only watch Pang Wanchun die under his own gun, obviously he had already made a full plan when he invited to fight.
But some people couldn't accept such a result, and the soldiers of the besieged Wu army not far away instantly roared: "Pang Shuaiโโ! They couldn't believe that the tall god-like figure in their minds had died at the hands of the other party, and he had just told everyone to wait for a while, but now he was ...... In an instant, in addition to grief, these remaining dozens of people were even more at a loss, and they didn't know how to face such a result at all.
Sun Tu had come back to his senses at this time, and with a shake of his hand, the spear had been pulled out by him, and then looked at the dazed Wu soldiers: "The main culprit has been ambushed, if you want to live, quickly abandon your weapons and surrender, otherwise, he Pang Wanchun will be your fate!" As he spoke, the gun in his hand was already pointed.
The other Song soldiers also came back to their senses at this moment, and while stepping forward, they also shouted: "Put down your weapons, kneel on the ground and don't kill!" "The encirclement of these people has been formed, and it seems that with a single order, they will all be killed on the spot.
The soldiers of the Wu army, who were already at the end of their rope, now have no backbone, and at this moment, they have really lost the last bit of fighting spirit. I don't know who started the head, when there was a loud bang, the weapon in his hand had been thrown to the ground, followed by a series of dang sounds, and then everyone obediently fell to their knees, no longer daring to have any resistance and struggle.
Sun Tu let out a long sigh of relief at this time, and waved his hand: "Tie it up, take it back to the city first and then dispose of it!" As he spoke, he looked at Pang Wanchun in the pool of blood in front of him again, perhaps this was one of the reasons why he committed suicide by hitting a gun, because he knew very well that only when he died, these subordinates would not risk their lives to fight again, so that their lives could be saved. As for himself, he is only seeking kindness.
Thinking of this, Sun Tu looked at the corpse with a complicated expression: "Bring his corpse back too, so that he can be buried alive." "This is a respectable opponent, and out of respect, he deserves to be buried.
This incident also means that the war against Hangzhou for more than a month has finally come to an end. Even if some people were allowed to escape after all, when the capital was captured and the elite soldiers and main generals were killed and wounded, the anti-thieves and others who fled to the west were only a little longer, and it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.
Soon, some soldiers let out a burst of cheers: "General Sun is mighty, and the Shandong army will win!" โ
These words immediately spread, and countless soldiers began to raise the weapons in their hands, and shouted one after another in the face of the rising sun: "General Sun is mighty, and the Shandong army will win!" General Sun is mighty, and the Shandong army will win! The atmosphere was extremely warm, and the shouts reached through the sky.
Sun Tu didn't stop everyone's cheers, but his eyes fell faintly to Hangzhou City in front of him, and then the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by surprise. Several fires, accompanied by thick smoke, suddenly rose from the city, and seeing that the fire was still spreading rapidly, it had already enveloped a large area, and immediately, an exclamation sounded in the city.
The cheers of the Song army outside the city were also quickly interrupted at this moment, and everyone looked at the change in the city in surprise, guessing what was going on. Sun Tu quickly calmed down and immediately shouted: "Come into the city to put out the fire!" โ
Only then did the soldiers react, hurriedly pulled out, and rushed back to the martial arts gate at full speed. After entering the city, the situation became more and more terrifying, starting from the north city where the palace is located, a quarter of Hangzhou City was surrounded by flames at this moment, this scene made the Song army who rushed back to the city a little trance, and at the same time, everyone also had a huge question in their hearts, how did this make such a big fire.
At this time, the city of Hangzhou was completely chaotic. The people who remained in the city for various reasons were really panicked and ran around in the face of the fire. And because the soldiers of the Song army had just entered the city, they had little understanding of the various situations in this place, and they were in a hurry, even if someone organized a firefighting team and brought water, they didn't know where to save them at this time.
Houses, streets, shops, government offices...... There were fires burning everywhere, and because most of the buildings at this time were made of wood, it was very easy to set fire to them, coupled with the dense buildings in the north, and the cold north wind blowing today, so that the fire spread extremely quickly, and in the short time after they rushed back to the city, the fire engulfed half of the alley and spread to the northwest.
"Hurry up and put out the fire......"
"Help......"
The hundreds of people in front of them were like frightened little beasts, completely unsure of what to do, just desperately screaming and running, but instead became a burden to the soldiers of the Song army who wanted to extinguish the fire, blocking half of their path, so tired that they could only change directions, and splashed buckets of water in vain on the flames that rose to the sky, but the spread of the fire did not reduce in the slightest.
What the hell is going on? How can a good city catch fire? Especially the imperial palace over there, which should be the most forbidden place in Hangzhou, how did it become the source of the fire?
A series of questions suddenly appeared in Sun Tu's heart, but he didn't open his mouth at this time. Because he couldn't find anyone to ask for reasons for a while, he also knew that now was not the time to investigate the reason. And what he can do now is to urgently mobilize troops and horses to extinguish the fire!
"Pass on my order, let all the soldiers and horses in the city first take the protection of the people [ ] to withdraw from Hangzhou as the first priority!" Sun Tu immediately shouted: "Also, let people set fire to each other in front of the streets and alleys where the fire came from, isolate the room for it to spread to the past, and never let the fire spread to the east and west cities again." โ
At this time, Sun Tu finally showed the good heart that a general should have in the face of danger, and shouted loudly.
