Chapter 849: Burning the City
Ningling City was ignited like this, even Zhang Shuye didn't expect that Li Jing was so ruthless, igniting the entire Ningling City, the vehicle in front of him was on fire, and soon, there were bursts of pungent breath on the surrounding streets, and the fire oil was ignited, this is what Zhang Shuye used to deal with Li Jing, originally thought that Li Jing could not be burned here, at least it could stop Li Jing's footsteps, but unfortunately, everything in front of him was destroyed by Li Jing.
"Father, what shall I do now?" Zhang Bofen looked at everything in front of him, he didn't know what to do, the fire was raging, these people were very close to the flames, and they all felt a burst of hot breath coming to their faces, although it was winter, but it was difficult to have such a heat wave at this time.
"The people of the whole city have suffered so much because of me, and my Uncle Zhang has been condemned to heaven at night." Zhang Shuye looked at the raging flames in front of him, and even some people had already let out bursts of screams in the sea of fire, and even some flames had burned into the distance, Zhang Shuye's face turned pale suddenly, although this fire was set by Li Jing, but if it wasn't for Zhang Shuye's fuel, the whole city was full of flammable things such as fire oil and hay, how could there be such a spectacular scene, Zhang Shuye's lips trembled, and he said to his two sons: "Lead the brothers to withdraw!" Ningling cannot be defended. As he spoke, he suddenly drew his sword and prepared to wipe it towards his neck.
"Father, no!" Zhang Zhongxiong's eyes were quick, and the spear in his hand stabbed out, hitting the sword, blocking the sword aside.
"Father, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and today's things are no wonder to my father, it is the traitor Li Jing who will cause today's disaster. What's more, there are not many people in the city, and at this time the fire is burning, presumably they have enough time to leave their homes and will not have any danger to their lives. Zhang Bofen also hurriedly said.
Uncle Zhang looked around, the whole city was about to fall into a sea of fire, and Uncle Zhang's eyes flashed with a prayer.
"Exactly." Zhang Bofen hurriedly said: "Father, get out of here quickly, if we don't leave, I'm afraid we will all fall into the sea of fire." Zhang Bofen knew that his father still had a trace of guilt in his heart, but this war was all about death, to be honest, even if the people of the entire city were burned to death, what could it do? Haven't the days of his Zhang family been illuminated?
Uncle Zhang was in a trance in his heart, not knowing whether the words just now were comforting others or comforting himself, so he let his two sons stand up and leave the fire, and the other Zhao and Song soldiers also followed, escorting the Zhang family father and son to leave Ningling, with only bursts of screams and flames behind him.
On the ruins of the north gate, Li Jing had already removed his armor, looking at the fire in front of him, his face was calm, as if it was not a city burning, and Lin Chong, Gao Chong, Wu Song and others stood behind him.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Uncle Zhang has fled at this time, shouldn't I order the fire?" Lin Chong was a little merciful in the end, looking at the fire in front of him, listening to the bursts of screams and panic, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Where can a city fire be easily extinguished?" Gao Zhong shook his head and said: "Even if hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched together, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will even cause losses to the soldiers." Hmph, it wasn't arranged by the king, it was all Uncle Zhang's sin. The only thing people in the world want to scold is Uncle Zhang. ”
The generals nodded one after another, scolding Uncle Zhang in their mouths, but they looked at Li Jing with worried eyes, the torch was thrown out by Li Jing, and this fire also had a lot to do with Li Jing.
Li Jing seized the world and won the hearts of the people in the world, but the scholars in the Central Plains did not buy it, although Li Jing publicized that Zhao Ji was killed by Zhao Gou, but in the eyes of the world, Zhao Ji was still killed by Wu Song, and this account will still be recorded on Li Jing. It is conceivable that the account in front of him is also recorded on Li Jing, who is Uncle Zhang? The grandson of Zhang Qi in the service, who was born in Jinshi and was taught by a saint, how could such a person do such a thing as burning the city? Only a martial artist like Li Jing would be so ruthless.
"Do you think that this king will be dissatisfied in his heart? Will there be sympathy? Or is there still a hint of unease? Li Jing turned to look at the generals, and everyone saw that Li Jing's face was calm, and the sea of fire in front of him was like a good-looking firework in his eyes, but this firework was relatively large, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of coldness, and he raised his whip and pointed at Ning Lingcheng and said: "War is like this, aren't these people optimistic about Zhao Song?" Help Uncle Zhang deal with us, then we should bear the wrath of this king, where there are immortals in the war, anyone who stands in the way of this king is the enemy of this king, and anyone who refuses to take the initiative to submit to this king is also an enemy of this king. The slaughter of the city has been going on since ancient times, not to mention, this king did not prevent these people from leaving Ningling, if they died in this fire, it was God who wanted them to die here, what does this king have to do, even if he wants to find it, he will only look for Uncle Zhang. ”
"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to continue to pursue and kill Uncle Zhang." Gao Chongjun's face turned red, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Your Majesty, it's a big deal that we take some detours, and we also want to kill Uncle Zhang at night." Wu Song clenched his fists, and the other generals also asked for battle, these guys were really hateful, and they threw all the charges to Li Jing, and the generals were extremely dissatisfied.
"Go around the city and pursue Uncle Zhang. Lin Chong, you lead the infantry to extinguish the fire and resettle the victims. Li Jing turned over his horse violently, waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and roared loudly: "Cavalry, attack with this king." Zhu Long leaped out, and behind him, Gao Chong, Wu Song, Yang Zaixing and other generals turned over their horses, and 50,000 cavalry roared out, bypassing Ningling City and killing Uncle Zhang.
Li Jing was really angry, although he killed countless people, he did not take the initiative to burn the city and kill the people, but Zhang Shuye's actions completely overturned a little opinion in Li Jing's heart, these guys have been cold-blooded to this point, Li Jing, who is called a chaotic minister and thief, why should he talk about morality? simply use the sword in his hand to kill all hypocrites. What if it's about bearing countless infamy? When he looks back, he is already the lord of the country, and those who oppose him will either surrender to him or be killed by himself.
Zhang Shuye never thought that his own fire would release a devil, he turned pale, rode a war horse, and left Ningling under the escort of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the flames behind him had disappeared without a trace. But his heart didn't settle down. Li Jing will pursue at any time, he can only gamble now, betting that Li Jing will order more than 100,000 troops to fight the fire for the sake of the people of the world, so that it can be delayed for a while, otherwise, the cavalry will bypass Ningling City and will soon be able to kill in front of him. 1910
