Eighty stone throwers of the Tang army continuously threw firewood into the Silla camp, and every two quarters of an hour they poured fierce fire oil to strengthen the fire, causing the flames in the Silla camp to burn for a long time, and the fire rose to a height of 30 feet, and the rolling heat wave continued to radiate from the Silla camp to all sides.

The troops of the Tang Army, 90 zhang away from the Silla camp, had to retreat 50 steps in the face of the rolling heat, and only the soldiers who operated the stone throwers remained at their posts and projected more dry firewood into the Silla camp.

However, they were ordered by His Highness to let the Silla camp burn for at least four hours before they could stop throwing firewood.

In order to maintain the fire in the Silla camp, all the firewood balls prepared earlier were thrown, and only 100 firewood were left in the fierce fire oil irrigation, and more than 50,000 one-foot-long dry firewood were projected. But there was no end in sight, and the firewood that Li Yu had prepared for the war was not exhausted, and there was still a steady stream of dry firewood from Seoul to replenish it, at the cost of almost all the houses in Seoul.

The exchange of wood for houses inhabited by more than 100,000 people in one city did not cost a single soldier to annihilate more than 30,000 Silla troops, which was very worthwhile for Li Yu. Although many unspeakable tragedies occurred during the demolition of people's houses, more than 100,000 people of Seoul were driven into the concentration camps in the city to be guarded, and their eyes were full of bitter hatred for the Tang Army.

But, so what? It's just a group of former Goguryeo people who were already full of resistance to the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the contradictions between the two sides had become apparent through this incident, Li Yu made up his mind, and after settling Silla, he moved all the more than 100,000 people in Seoul and scattered them to Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and Kamchatka to reclaim the wasteland. When they were relocated to the bitter cold and barbaric region, even if their hearts were full of deep hatred for the Tang Dynasty, they had to commit themselves to the rule of the administrative institutions established by the Tang Dynasty in the local area because of the harsh natural environment and ferocious barbarism.

A southwesterly wind blew through the burning Silla camp, blowing the slightest cool breath on the officers and men of the Tang Army, and the sultry southwest made the soldiers in the Tang Army formation who stood still feel depressed. Whether it was a soldier wearing iron armor or leather armor, the sweat on his face kept flowing down.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the Silla camp covered an area of more than 900 acres outside a hundred zhang but the fire burned endlessly. Under the scorching heat of the fire that lasted for two hours, the temperature within a radius of two miles rose by more than two degrees in vain.

The war horse under the seat of the Tang cavalry was restless, and Li Yu touched the neck of the mount with his hand, and the red liquid was sticking to his hand.

Li Yu said leisurely: "This is the sweat and blood ......"

Zhang Shi was so hot that he took off the black lacquer Mingguangshan armor on his body, and by the way, he took off the black robe in the armor, revealing strong chest muscles and eight-pack abs, and his arms were as thick as Xiao Niang's thighs.

Zhang Shi, who suddenly felt cool, snorted lightly, took a deep breath, and sniffed vigorously when his nose smelled the smell in the air. This taste is very familiar, the same as the smell of roasted pork when I drank wine and ate roast pork with Xue Ne and Li Yesi last night.

This can't be the smell of roasted human meat, right? Zhang Shi's mind suddenly thought, the smell of meat in the air has a tendency to become stronger and stronger.

Zhang Shi, who discovered this situation, turned around, "Your Highness." However, when he saw the blood-red liquid on Li Yu's right hand, Zhang Shi was stunned, staring at the war horse under Li Yu's seat, and a look of envy was born.

As a military general, who is not rare to have a sweaty horse as a mount?

Li Yu withdrew his gaze from the right hand stained with the blood and sweat of the mount, and looked at Zhang Shi looking at the mount under him with envy, and couldn't help but quip, "If you promise to be the first to attack Guoyuan City, I will give you a sweaty horse." ”

"Your Highness is right?" Zhang Shi's face was happy, and he asked uncertainly.

"Which promise of this king is false?" Li Yu said with a smile, a sweaty horse is still very precious in Datang. In the past few years, Li Yu has only gotten more than 300 sweaty horses from the middle of the Western Regions as stallions for breeding. The generals are all carefully selected Qinghai horses, but they are still inferior to the pure sweat horses.

After receiving Li Yu's affirmative answer, Zhang Shixi was overjoyed, and his Royal Highness promised to cut off the head of Jin Yuanshu, break the country, and pull out the golden city, and his Royal Highness would ask His Majesty to be crowned the founding prince.

Yes! No, Jin Yuanshu's head can't be cut off. Zhang Shi suddenly reacted and looked at the flames rising into the air, and the Silla camp that constantly emitted the smell of barbecue and said bitterly: "Jin Yuanshu has been roasted alive, what kind of head is it!" ”

When Li Yesi heard this, he remembered that Zhang Shi's words were for the founding dukedom promised by His Royal Highness before, and he couldn't help laughing and slapping Zhang Shi's bare arm and making a joke, and the five finger prints were firmly imprinted on Zhang Shi's shoulder.

Zhang Shi turned his head and glanced at Li Yesi, snorted and chirped, and said to Li Yu: "Your Highness, the air is full of the smell of meat, it seems that the Silla people are finished." Isn't it possible to stop projecting firewood and lead an army to go in and take a look after the fire is extinguished? ”

The air was filled with the smell of barbecue, and the faces of more than 50,000 Tang soldiers gathered outside the Silla camp were filled with joy, which meant that the Silla army was basically finished, and there was no need for them to charge the Silla camp again.

Li Yu shook his head, "Let's burn it for another two hours, in case the Silla army pouts the deep pit, I'm afraid it won't be able to roast them to death in two hours." ”

Zhang Shi smashed his mouth, estimating that he would roast for another two hours, and according to the fierce fire in front of him, the Silla army would probably be baked into charcoal.

……

The fire in the Silla camp burned for two hours, and under the combined effect of heat and smoke, the Silla soldiers hiding in the trenches only nine feet deep were lying everywhere, their faces dripping with ripe oil.

Occasionally, there were one or two places where the soldiers were still moaning in pain, and the soldiers, unwilling to be roasted alive, pulled out the long knives at their waists and killed themselves in the trenches. The deranged man, who had been roasted by the heat, ran out of the exit of the trench, howled in the raging fire, and fell into the flames with a breath or two, and finally turned into a pile of charcoal.

The watchtower where Kim Won-su is hiding is located on the highest part of the hill where the camp is located, and you can look down on the hill through the lookout.

The long-lasting flames made the Silla generals in the watchtower desperate, and many people watched the Tang army continue to project firewood into the camp to maintain the fire, and they drew their swords and committed suicide due to the scorching fire.

Three hours passed, Jin Yuanshu, who was only full of desperate eyes in the watchtower, only wore a battle robe and kept pouring the water stored in the watchtower from the head to reduce the high temperature in the room and save his life.

Jin Yuanshu muttered deliriously, "I don't want to die yet, I still want to capture Seoul and order Liaodong ......"

When he reached out again for the water, there was not a drop of water inside.

Jin Yuanshu hugged the clay pot that was gradually hot, and laughed miserably, "Hehehe...... Hahaha......"

It burned for more than three hours, and there was a burst of laughter in the Silla camp full of endless despair and pain, which made the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army a hundred feet away look at each other, and they were very surprised, "There are still people who can hold out in the fire for three hours......
