Chapter 502: Escape
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, on the second day of June, the world's largest urban fire broke out. I don't know how many people were killed in this fire, but according to later statistics, not a single one of the 20,000 or 30,000 hidden Amir Empire soldiers escaped, and in addition to the more than 100,000 people in the city who had already fled, the remaining 200,000 Amir Empire nationals, who firmly believed that the Amir Empire would win, were all killed in the city fire.
The fire burned for a whole day and a night, and the originally white city of Chennai, a day later, turned into a black charcoal world, which for some people is a post-apocalyptic world.
Zhang He and Pan Jun looked at this raging fire, and they both had a feeling in their hearts, Commander Lu was crazy!
Li Tianhong next to him said: "Two generals, may I ask about this matter, how should I report it to the General Headquarters?" ”
At this time, Lu Xun himself arrived and drank directly: "Report truthfully!" ”
Pan Jun was shocked: "No! Never! Now the commander has made a great contribution, and the southern part of the Amir Empire is in hand, and after he returns, he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and the commander will receive a gold medal. But if this matter is reported, the media will criticize it verbally and penually, but at that time, the generalissimo will not be able to protect the commander of the land, this is not to cause trouble to the generalissimo? Therefore, this fire is not man-made, but an accident! ”
Zhang He said: "Such a report, but it does not conform to the facts, in case the commander-in-chief and the generalissimo know, what should they do?" You know, when Commander Lu gave the order, there were many people present, and there were thousands of people who carried out ignition and transported fuel. ”
Pan Jun said: "At this time, it doesn't matter, as long as it is not clearly indicated in the written document when it is reported, then it will be fine." You said that Commander-in-Chief Pang and Generalissimo, who is not a person who is insightful and discerning, will definitely know the beginning and end of the matter with a guess, but the superficial article must be done. I'm afraid that the generalissimo would like Commander Lu to have such a trick to deter the cities of the Amir Empire, and I suspect that when the Western Army went on the expedition, the generalissimo did not order the court to follow, which should be the reason. ”
In this matter, Lu Xun, as a party concerned, was not easy to intervene, but when it came to this time, Li Tianhong knew what to do, so he gave up the airship and went south.
Li Tianhong first told Tai Shici about the battle in Chennai City, and did not say the inside story of the Chennai fire, only that due to an accident, a fire broke out and burned down the entire Chennai City.
Of course, Tai Shici doesn't believe it all, but this has nothing to do with him, it's someone else's business. Now that the Amir Empire's military horses in Chennai City have been wiped out, it is time for Amir himself to know the news.
At the Tai Shi Ci Headquarters, senior generals above the regimental level gathered at a long table, all of them in straight uniforms, solemn and solemn, and Li Tianhong, head of the Air Force Airship Regiment, attended the meeting as an observer.
"Now the city of Chennai has been broken by our army, Amir's 100,000 lone army has lost support in the city of Garrigal, and it must be thinking about a way to retreat at this moment, in order to relieve the pressure in the future, I decided to attack immediately, take the opportunity to destroy the enemy's living forces, and clear part of the strength for the future decisive battle, what do you have to say!" Tai Shici's face was resolute, he was in his fifties, and he looked calm and atmospheric.
Lu Budao: "Commander Taishi ordered, even a minute late may delay the fighter!" At this moment, it is in the city, just catching turtles in the urn, once out of the city to the west, into the plateau area, it will be even more difficult for our army to kill and injure its fresh force! ”
Guo Jia said: "Commander Taishi, this battle is very important, as long as you defeat Amir and capture the city of Garigar, Amir is in the south of the empire, and there will be no strength to compete with our army." But among them, it is necessary to have the help of Commander Li of the Air Regiment. If I have the full help of Commander Li, I am completely sure that I will hit Amir hard! ”
"Me?" Li Tianhong didn't understand what was going on.
"My airship regiment has always spared no effort to help the armies from all walks of life, dare to ask General Staff Guo, how can my airship regiment play a greater role?"
Guo Jiadao: "The airship regiment is now divided into four parts, with thirty military horses each of the three routes as air supremacy control and transmitting intelligence, and ten as transmitting orders to the headquarters. But the key to this battle, if Commander Li can transfer all the 30 airships of the Central Route Army to the south road, and 60 airships, carrying bombs, drop bombs in the airspace and blow up all the batteries in the city of Garigar, then our army will take the city of Garrigal without much effort, and there is no need for the fortress sports car to participate. ”
When Guo Jia said this, Tai Shi Ci was like an initiation, and Lu Bu nodded heavily.
Li Tianhong said: "General Staff Officer Guo doesn't know, one of my airships has a load of only four or five tons, and there are fifteen soldiers on it. ”
"Haha! Captain Lee! If ten people are removed from each airship, this airship can carry more than three tons of bombs, sixty airships, three or four hundred tons of bombs, not to mention the destruction of the city of Garigarh, it is enough to blow up all the city walls! ”
"Evacuate personnel? But what if the enemy fights with the Flying Orb? ”
Guo Jia said: "Commander Li only needs to leave two drivers, one sniper, and two bomb throwers, so that nothing goes wrong!" ”
Tai Shi Ci looked at Li Tianhong, his eyes were eager, Li Tianhong was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay!" Although I am directly under the command of the General Headquarters, it is the ultimate goal of my generation to assist the Three-Way Army to defeat the Amir Empire, and this time our Air Force Airship Regiment will temporarily obey the command of Commander Taishi until the capture of Garrigal City! ”
Tai Shici breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted: "On behalf of the 100,000 soldiers of the Southern Route Army of the Western Army, I would like to thank Commander Li for his deep understanding of righteousness. ”
"Well said, well said! All for the republic! ”
On the fourth day of June, this is a very helpless day for Amir.
More than 60 airships flew over the city of Garigarh, and countless cannonballs were dropped from the airships, moving freely and exploding sparks on the city walls.
Fifty long-range cannons of 27 mm caliber of the artillery regiment joined the bombardment at the same time, and the city of Garigarh boiled.
The sound of artillery was mixed with screams, and people were running around, clueless.
Amir saw that the city walls were destroyed and the forts were blown to pieces, and he knew that the situation was over.
"Herald! Gather your troops and head west into the Deccan Plateau! ”
The soldiers and horses were assembled, and there were still 90,000 troops left, and Amir was glad that these were all living forces, and when they fled to the north, after a few months, they were all equipped with rifles, and then they could be killed, and sooner or later the army of Chenhe Kingdom would be driven out of their territory.
Glancing back at the Sky Airship, Amir's performance was excited.
This kind of big killer weapon before the appearance of fighters can be owned by themselves immediately.
Amir led the army out of the city, all the way to the west, did not see the army and horses to block, laughed and said: "Haha! These mediocre generals of Chenhe Kingdom, without Yang Xi personally stepping out, do you want to put me to death? If you ambush the army outside the city, where can I lead it out of Garigar so calmly! Herald! Go all out! ”
Amir didn't know that there was a general named Tai Shici in the Han Dynasty, there was a number one fierce general in the world named Lu Bu, and there was a military advisor named Guo Jia! [End of Chapter]
