Chapter 524: The Raging Fire on the City Wall

"Boom !!"

With a violent cracking sound, the fire above the head of Tongzhou City soared into the sky, and then the billowing smoke broke through the sky, almost enveloping the entire Xicheng of Tongzhou.

On the city wall, roars, screams, and violent coughing were mixed together, as if there were countless bloodthirsty and flesh-eating monsters in the billowing smoke, constantly devouring the lives of the soldiers of the Tongzhou Army.

Yang Yi stood up from the haystack with a swish, looked at the smoke-filled Tongzhou city wall in amazement, and exclaimed: "Fire oil bomb? ”

Lu Yuanliang blinked at the fragrant wine in his mouth, nodded and said, "It's like a fake." ”

Yang Yi looked at the sky-high firelight, turned his head sharply, and said categorically: "Pull your mother's salted duck eggs, whose fire oil bomb has such great power?" ”

As he spoke, he waved to the monkey tip beside him: "Monkey tip, telescope!" ”

Monkey Jian'er, who was also frightened, hurriedly took off the telescope on his waist and handed it to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi squinted his eyes and looked up, but he could only see the raging fire wrapped in thick smoke, this kind of fire was definitely not something that ordinary fire oil bombs could make, not only the fire was fast and the smoke was billowing out, and it was impossible to extinguish it in a short time.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi turned his head to look at the rear camp of the Shu army again, and found that the camp tent where the thunderbolts were stored was still tightly guarded by the soldiers, and he had not heard Lu Yuanliang order the use of thunderbolts from beginning to end.

Lu Yuanliang also ignored Yang Yi, turned his head to the stunned banner commander and said: "Order, stop using fire oil bombs, continue to launch stone-throwing attacks, and attack the city immediately when the smoke clears." ”

"Huh? Be... Be! The flag commander hurriedly issued a flag order to the barracks at the foot of the mountain.

Yang Yi looked at the city wall in the flames, and suddenly felt that it was a huge barbecue grill, which was not relying on chicken and chicken wings, but the Tongzhou army defending the city.

There is not much suspense in this battle, most of Zhu Qingxian's 20,000 troops are on the city wall of the West Gate, and now they are burned by the fire, and the main force has been lost, how can they still resist the siege of the Shu army.

It wasn't until two hours later that the fire at the head of the city gradually eased, and there was no living thing to see on the city walls, even the tripods used for defense and the dozens of trebuchets and bed crossbows had already been burned to ashes by the fire, and there was even a strong smell of burnt meat in the air, although the smell was very fragrant, but no one wanted to smell it, because everyone knew why these meat smells from.

Without waiting for the Shu army to launch a final attack, a sergeant came to report: Hua Ying had led a group of old-fashioned officials from Tongzhou to open the southern gate of Tongzhou and welcome the Shu army into the city.

It is said that Hua Ying originally wanted to come to Kaixi City to meet the Shu army, but the blazing heat under the gate of Xicheng and the scorched corpses all over the ground were prohibitive.

Lu Yuanliang did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city from the south gate, while sending troops to search for Zhu Qingxian and pay off the rest of the party, while appeasing the army and people in the city, adhering to the consistent style of the Shu army, only punishing the head of the thief, not killing the innocent.

With the active cooperation of the Dark Messenger and Hua Ying, the Shu army's purge of Tongzhou City went very smoothly.

In the evening, the restless city of Tongzhou settled down, although there were still no ordinary pedestrians in sight on the streets, but the shouts of killing that resounded through the city in the afternoon had disappeared without a trace.

"In the name of the Shu Army Command, a letter of consolation was issued, and those who surrendered were not to blame."

"Order, Yuan Liu commanded 10,000 troops, cleared the resistance forces in the north of Tongzhou, and fought a quick battle."

"Order, Yue Jing sent 15,000 troops into the southern part of Tongzhou, cleared the resistance forces, and fought a quick battle."

"Order, General Hongzhi of Wenzhou Prefecture, divide 10,000 troops and 20,000 reinforcements from the Great Yue Kingdom, attack 30,000 people, and rush to the eastern part of Tongzhou to station in Daycheng within ten days to prevent the Kyoto army from advancing westward."

Lu Yuanliang waved his pen like the wind, and one by one the generals were written by him and then handed to the heralds, and each herald rushed out immediately after receiving the order.

After Lu Yuanliang issued several general orders in a row, he turned around and looked at Hua Yingdao, who was standing respectfully: "Master Hua, I'm afraid you still need to come forward to recruit troops from all over the same state, after all, many of the general orders of the same state are the old departments of your father Hua Thorn History. ”

Hua Ying hurriedly bowed down and said, "Lord Lu is polite, this is what Hua Ying should do." ”

Seeing Lu Yuanliang smiling with satisfaction, Hua Ying hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask: "Lord Lu, dare to ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu where he is, Hua Ying wants to meet his old man." ”

Lu Yuanliang said with a smile: "My Royal Highness has a lot of affairs, and I am solely responsible for the war in the same state this time. ”

Hua Ying hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and said, "Lord Lu, what do you think His Highness will do with Zai Xia and my father's old department?" ”

Lu Yuanliang said: "This time, our Shu army was able to successfully exterminate Zhu Qingxian and his rebellion, Hua Gongzi made great contributions, and His Royal Highness will not treat you badly. ”

Hua Ying hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No... No, Hua Ying doesn't dare to ask for extravagance, Hua Ying is young and talented, I just hope that His Royal Highness will give me one acre and three points of land, so that I can live a good life and inherit the family for the Hua family. ”

Although this Hua Ying is timid and afraid, he still has self-knowledge, he understands that he is not a powerful official, and he just hopes that Yang Yi will give him some money, so that he can live a chic life.

However, this is a good thing for Shuzhong.

Lu Yuanliang said with a smile: "Since Hua Gongzi has a request, Yuanliang will report it to His Highness." ”

Hua Yingxi said: "Then there is Lord Lao Lu." ”

Hua Ying was so diligent and cheerful that he handed over all his rights in Tongzhou, which overshadowed many old-fashioned generals in Tongzhou in the lobby, and everyone understood that Zhu Qingxian's forces were uprooted, Hua Ying resigned to save his life, and Tongzhou became irretrievably a territory in Shuzhong.

Lu Yuanliang took everyone's expressions and emotions into his eyes, and said with a pointful smile: "Today, we can eradicate the rebellion of Zhu Qingxian, who has brought disaster to the country and the people, everyone here is a hero, and in the future, you and Yuanliang will be under the same command of His Royal Highness the King of Shu as officials, for the benefit of the people, as long as you are diligent and conscientious, His Royal Highness the King of Shu will definitely not treat you badly." Of course, if someone wants to be like Hua Gongzi, return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life, although His Royal Highness will feel sorry, but he will never be strong. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yuanliang's words changed, and his tone became a little cold and smiled: "But... If someone dares to disobey the yang and the yin and act in secret, then don't blame me Lu Yuanliang for being ruthless. ”

When the officials of the same state heard this, they couldn't help but shudder secretly, and they all bowed their hands and said: "I will swear allegiance to His Royal Highness the King of Shu to the death, and I have no two hearts!" ”

Lu Yuanliang smiled and said no more, the bad guys did it themselves, and the next thing should be done by Yang Yi himself.

Whether it is to win people's hearts or eliminate dissidents, it is not his business, Yang Yi will do it, and the dark messenger will do it.

Conquering Tongzhou and then stabilizing the defensive line, Lu Yuanliang's task has been successfully completed.
