The first burst of artillery bombardment outside the Tiger Hill Pass made Wan Yi stand still, the power of this incendiary bomb was too great, after the first shelling, half of the fifty shells exploded directly on the Tiger Hill Pass Tower, almost instantly the entire city wall was shrouded in flames, almost none of the Wen Mo people stationed on the city tower were spared, all of them were ignited and the clothes on their bodies became living people, and in an instant, the screams spread all over the entire Tiger Hill Pass.

"Chief of Staff, immediately send two hundred incendiary bombs to Xue Wanli's side." Wan Yi asked Liu Xuan to immediately order two hundred incendiary bombs to be sent to Xue Wanli's ambush position. But at this time, the artillery battalion position was still under continuous shelling, and the flames on the Tiger Hill Pass were still rising. However, after seeing the effect of the first round of shelling, the artillery battalion immediately changed the target of the shelling and placed all the bomb drop points behind the city pass, Wengcheng. Only a shrill cannonball whistling sound was heard, and then the screams inside the city pass came again, this time directly outside the city, and it is conceivable that this time it is estimated that the incendiary bomb exploded directly in the crowd.

At this time, the demolition team on the Shijian front line had also begun to move, and at this time, there was no one on the castle tower who could hinder their movements, so these demomen almost walked towards the city pass as if they were strolling leisurely. One group after another blasting canisters were placed directly at the city gate, and in just half a tea hour, the signal that could be ignited and detonated was already coming from the front line.

"Order the army to prepare immediately." Shi Jian waved his hand to get his troops ready, and then asked the signal soldiers behind him to immediately signal the demoman to carry out the blast.

"Boom" a loud sound, the Tiger Hill Pass Tower is like sitting on a dirt plane, directly flew into the air, the whole city pass was shattered in this earth-shattering explosion in an instant, smoke, gravel and flames became the protagonist of the Tiger Hill Pass at this moment, the entire city wall collapsed in the explosion, it can be said that the Tiger Hill Pass was almost completely shattered after this explosion.

"Brothers of the Modao Battalion, revenge is coming soon, rush me." Shi Jian raised the command knife in his hand, and a large army of 50,000 people behind him rushed up, poured into the city, and began to start street fighting.

"Chief of Staff, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the situation in the street battles ahead, and giving General Shi the necessary support. The others followed me with the artillery battalion. I hope that our side will fight so quickly that it will not scare the Uighurs. Wan Yi got up and walked towards the ambush position dozens of miles away. But before he could gallop for long, the artillery on Xue Wanli's side suddenly began to roar.

"It's okay, it's okay, otherwise, we have prepared two tables of dinner, and it wouldn't be good if there was only one table of guests." Wan Yi frowned, and accelerated away with the guards around him.

The smooth artillery bombardment on the side of the ambush position meant that the Uighurs had not yet reacted, and it could even be said that they did not expect that the Wen Mo people would be attacked by the Tiance army in such a short period of time, so they still relied on the previous plan to detour back to the flank of the Tiance army's position from the north of the Tiger Hill Pass, so as to achieve the strategic purpose of flanking the Tiance army with the Wen Mo people in the city.

Now that the cannon sound of the ambush position was sounding, Wan Yi put down his mind and headed towards the front line. At this time, Shi Jian, who was in the city, was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he almost vomited. After entering the city, one charred corpse after another could be seen almost everywhere, pressed to the ground at any time and bricks. And the scene in the urn city was even more tragic, countless Wen Mo soldiers with flames fled in all directions like fire people, and the miserable howl almost made Shi Jian and the soldiers of the Modao Battalion behind him who had fought a hundred battles not know what to do?

"What the hell is this artillery battalion out of?" A soldier of the Modao Battalion couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation in front of him, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Don't touch them, shoot them immediately, and kill everyone in sight." Shi Jian saw that one of the soldiers even wanted to pull the burning soldiers, and couldn't help but immediately shout: "Order all the soldiers who enter the city to leave those burning men alone." Go and tell the artillery battalion not to fight anymore, and if we continue to fight, we should burn ourselves. ”

Shi Jian's order saved the lives of these Tiance soldiers in time, and after waking up, these Tiance soldiers began to disperse one after another, dodging the flames and dense fog burning everywhere, while firing and shooting to kill all the fire men who had lost their minds in front of them, and then advanced forward in order. Shi Jian's order to the artillery battalion at this time did not play a big role, because firstly, the incendiary bombs had basically been consumed, and secondly, the main force of the artillery battalion had also been transferred by Wan Yi to Xue Wanli's ambush position, and the remaining few artillery pieces had also changed the shells.

The troops led by Shi Jian at this time advanced very quickly, and the incendiary bombs of the Tiance Army were too powerful, which directly blinded the Wenmo people, and the troops deployed in various parts of the city pass were almost lost, and the rest were also frightened by the flames from hell, and they couldn't organize an effective defense at all, huddled in various places in the city that did not burn, shivering, according to the reactions and brains of these Wenmo people, they couldn't think of any other explanation, thinking that the Tiance Army was a devil from hell, not something that they mortals could resist.

These psychology are very good for Shi Jian's troops to unfold Shi Jian. The huge force of 50,000 people quickly entered the city and began to drive and crush the Wen Mo people, because they were afraid of the speed of the advance, so Shi Jian and the logistics troops had no time to care about the burning flames. This was not even thought of by Liu Xuan, who was on standby outside the city. This also led to a huge fire. Tiger Hill Pass is located in the combination of grassland and desert, and after the perennial rain is low, the flame begins to spread to the rear almost instantly, and the speed of its flame advancement is almost keeping up with the advance speed of the Tiance Army.

It wasn't until Shi Jian concentrated more than 3,000 people and began to attack the town guard mansion of the Wen Mo people in the city, that is, Wen Mo'er's base camp, that he found a trace of abnormality, but at this time he had no intention of caring about these, and after using more than 3,000 rifles in his hand to shoot Wen Mo'er's defensive position in turn, and advancing the battle line little by little, he received reports from other soldiers one after another, and the fire in the city had begun to spread, and it was useless to fight the fire at this time.

Shi Jian began to decisively change his deployment, withdrawing all the soldiers of the Tiance Army who were originally encircled and fighting into an encirclement, and at the same time transferring the main force out and going door to door to notify all the people in the city to evacuate immediately to prevent greater losses.

With the spread of the fire, the fire of Huqiu Pass became more conspicuous, and the fire almost ignited the entire city pass, and countless people fled to the Tiance army camp outside the city with the soldiers of the Tiance Army.

"Chief of Staff, General Shi asked you to accept these people immediately, the fire in the city is out of control, and Huqiu Pass is afraid that it will be burned down completely." The captain of Shi Jian's personal guard team finally found Liu Xuan and returned to the front line immediately after conveying Shi Jian's order. The people can come out, but the Wen people are not so easy to let go.

At this time, Shi Jian began to call on those Wen Mo people in the city to come out and surrender immediately, otherwise they would inevitably be driven into the sea of fire and burned to ashes. Under such a natural disaster, it is no longer manpower that can resist, and the town guard mansion of the Wen Mo people has been shrouded in flames at this time, and people inside continue to rush out, but then they were captured by the soldiers of the Tiance Army guarding outside and escorted out with fire.

"General, the fire is too big, we can't stay any longer, the chief of staff told us to withdraw from Huqiu Pass immediately." Shi Jian's personal guard captain brought Liu Xuan's latest orders and also reported the fire situation along the way.

"Go and tell Li Er to let him take one of his battalions to withdraw immediately from the northwest of Huqiu Pass, and then surround the city gate, and arrest me as soon as anyone escapes from the city. The others immediately gave me the peaks on both sides of the Tiger Hill Pass, and after burning the city pass, I couldn't burn the mountains again. After Shi Jian gave the order, he immediately led people to block the four borders of Huqiu Pass, arresting those fish who slipped through the net, and immediately organizing defensive measures to prevent the mountain from being burned by fire.

Shi Jian's actions were later hailed as saving the ecological environment near Huqiu Pass to the greatest extent, and the fire in Huqiu Pass did not spread to the surrounding mountains and was confined to the city. However, the fire caused great losses, not only the 100,000 troops of the Wen people were almost all killed in the fire, but even the people of all ethnic groups in the city also suffered very heavy losses, in addition to casualties, most of the property was burned, which also brought great difficulties to the post-war pacification work.

However, at this time, the fire outside Tiger Hill Pass was not only a headache for Shi Jian, but Wan Yi, who was dozens of miles away, also looked up at the fire that had burned half of the sky red at this time, and frowned. At this time, the defensive line jointly formed by Xue Wanli and Tie Liang was already engaged in battle with the Uighurs, 100,000 against 100,000 people, plus the weapon superiority, Wan Yi had nothing to worry about. However, at this time, Huqiu Pass was burned like this, and I was afraid that the post-war reconstruction work would inevitably involve the great energy of the Western Expedition Group Army.

"Since it's already burned, let's burn it thoroughly." Wan Yi looked up at the sides of the nearby positions and began to give orders to Li Lisan, who was in charge of the artillery battalion, to shoot all the incendiary bombs.

After this order was issued, Wan Yi immediately sent people to inform Tie Liang and Xue Wanli to prepare for fire prevention, but at this time, it was impossible to accurately execute this order on the battlefield where more than 200,000 people were fighting on both sides. Even Wan Yi himself was ready to lead the army to extinguish the fire after this battle.

In fact, Wan Yi's order did lay the foundation for victory in this battle, and the first appearance of the incendiary bomb after it was made in advance by Qiao Xi left a deep impression on both warring parties, the fire in the sky could burn nearly everything, and even the flames could burn stones and turn into a pile of powder. After the war, the General Staff strictly explained this, stipulating that the use of such weapons of mass destruction was prohibited except in special circumstances, and even the production line of incendiary bombs was closed for a time. However, after the empire's foreign conquests became more frequent, incendiary bombs were still re-produced, but by that time the equipment department had developed a variety with better quality and power.

However, at this time, Shi Jian's troops were already miserable, most of the soldiers were so smoked that they couldn't see their appearance at all, and even many people were burned and turned into wounded and lay in the field hospital of the barracks. And Shi Jian, after trying his best, finally reluctantly dug two trenches on both sides of Tiger Hill Pass, and used runic soil to suppress the spread of the fire.

"General, what kind of monster is this?" Shi Jian's personal guard captain stood beside Shi Jian panting and said with a frightened face, today is an eye-opener, three hundred cannonballs actually helped them to build a fortress with almost 100,000 garrisons, which is estimated that no one will believe it. The point is that the power carried by this cannonball is not only terrifying for the opponent, but even the Tiance Army itself that uses them is chilling when they think about it.

"How do I know? But this seems to have been designed in the queen's factory, and it is probably a weapon used to punish these bullying Han people. How could Shi Jian answer this question, and after muttering casually, he began to tell the captain of the personal guard to convey the order, and the main force of the army began to return to the barracks.

After blocking the fire, Shi Jian left some people to monitor the spot, and he returned to the camp with the main force of the troops, but Liu Xuan, the chief of staff who had been answering outside the pass, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Shi Jian's gray face and a scorched black face appear beside him. However, this is not the time to talk about this, because the two of them obviously feel that another battlefield dozens of miles away is only afraid that it will be in flames at this moment. Therefore, after a brief exchange between the two, Shi Jian quickly dispatched 20,000 men and personally led them to flank the back Hurs' flank defense line to help Xue Wanli and Tie Liang.

And Liu Xuan rushed to the outside of Tiger Hill Pass after arranging the things in the camp, in fact, at this time, almost all the things that could be burned in Tiger Hill Pass had basically been burned out, and the internal fire had gradually been extinguished, but the high temperature brought by the continuous burning was still raging, and even the surrounding temperature was also rising strangely.

Liu Xuan sighed secretly when he saw this scene, he could only be helpless about what happened to the Wen Mo people, if he encountered other weapons, maybe he could still resist by relying on the number of people and the elite cavalry in the northwest, and even if he fought well, he might not have no chance of winning, but it was coincidental that he encountered this kind of weapon that he didn't even understand, and he could only say that he was too unjustly defeated. Only two or three out of ten of the Wen Mo'er people who escaped from this battle in the Tiger Hill Pass, and all the rest were burned in the fire, and even their leader Wen Mo'er could not escape.

Liu Xuan turned around and walked back, today's battle will not even need to be publicized by the Tiance Army to cause an uproar in the hearts of all ethnic groups in the northwest, the Tiance Army is only afraid that although it can greatly deter the opponent, it will also cut off the hearts of other ethnic groups to submit to it, right? However, these are not things that a chief of staff can consider. If the estimate is correct, the Western Expeditionary Army has never based its plans on the submission of anyone and any tribe. So thinking of this, Liu Xuan even thought a little maliciously, if he encountered a similar pass in the future battle, should he remind the commander and continue to use incendiary bombs, so that his opponent would be terrified when he saw the figure of the Tiance Army from now on.

"Boom." Just as Liu Xuan was thinking about these things outside the camp, a huge fireball suddenly appeared in the distance, and then exploded. Even Liu Xuan could feel the sound of the explosion at the scene when he stood here.

Sure enough, it started again. This is also good, although the Wens are close to extinction, but the Uighurs may not think so. Liu Xuan smiled, turned around and walked quickly into the camp, and began to write the battle report, waiting for Wan Yi and the others to return.
