Chapter 680: Burning the City

Seeing that Situ Tai was becoming more and more arrogant, Murong Cheng said angrily: "Boy, if you have the ability, you will come to attack the city?" What's the use of just talking this nonsense, the corporal under the command of this king is fighting hard day and day, so I won't argue with you kid tonight. Tomorrow when the sky is bright, you and I will see each other again. Then the king will screw off your head. ”

Situ Tai laughed wildly and said, "Murong Cheng, old thief, you think your subordinates can extinguish the fire in the city, take it for granted." General Ben's methods are not so easy to deal with, you know, in order to deal with you, I even gave up the water pass. If there is no result tonight, without your Murong Cheng old thief's action, General Ben will kill himself here. ”

"Huh?" Murong Cheng, Zhang Tu, and Zhong Yan all turned their heads to look at each other, and suddenly, their faces turned pale. There was a cold sweat on everyone's heads, and when they looked back, in the entire city, there were fires rising everywhere, didn't they let the former army general Qi Lin go to put out the fire? Why is this happening? How did the fire ignite? The faces of the generals changed drastically, and they were very puzzled. However, at this time, everyone knew that this Situ Tai's back hand had already exerted its power. Judging from the current situation, the fire in the city is estimated to be impossible to extinguish.

Seeing the thick smoke billowing above the Bishui Pass, the city sergeant suddenly rioted. Smoke billowed and flames everywhere. Because it is burning with oil, it is extremely difficult to fight on the face. Immediately after that, with the use of fire oil, everything that could be burned in the city was ignited. Because the arson of the Yongwang army was generally from the south to the north, and in addition, it was surrounded from the surrounding to the middle. In other words, not to mention the Qi army in the city and outside the city, but also to burn them to death in it.

"Hateful! Hateful! Damn! Murong Cheng looked at the entire Shuishui Pass, which was red in the dark night, his teeth were clenched, his fists were clenched, and he roared angrily. If this continues, the defenders in the city will basically be abolished, not to mention, and the plan to break the water pass such as the western part of Yongzhou will also be completely bankrupt.

As the fire in the city grew, the fire in Murong Chengrin's heart was also burning, and he saw the Qi soldiers in the city running around, and even some soldiers were digging the sand on the ground to cover the fire under the command of Qi Lin. The screams and shouts continued, and Murong Chengrin's clenched fists were about to pinch blood.

Outside the south of the city, the rear army and the main general of the Chinese army in the camp of the Qi army also saw the situation in the city, but at this moment, they could not do anything but slowly start to extinguish the fire at the gate of the city, leaving a way for the retreat of the king of Qi, so as not to let the king of Qi be buried in the fire.

"Lord Wang, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, and now my top priority is to leave here immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. The prince ......" Zhong Yan hurriedly explained. He turned Murong Cheng's face pale, and dripping red blood was dripping from his fists, and he hurriedly persuaded him. Judging from the current situation, if you don't evacuate quickly, I am afraid that you will really stay in the sea of fire or become Situ Tai's prisoner.

Murong Cheng sobered up a little, he looked back and pulled out his long sword, and shouted: "Brothers, now that the enemy army is burning the city, instead of being burned alive in the city, it is better to rush out with me and join the brothers outside the city. We rushed out, there was still a chance to live, and we could only wait for death to stay here."

"Obey the orders of the prince!" The generals and soldiers around Murong Cheng said yes with a bang, and they all formed a group, got down the city wall one after another, turned around and left to the south of the city.

"Come on, immediately send an order to Qi Lin in the city, tell them to evacuate to the south of the city, and ignore the fire in the city." Murong Cheng explained to the heralds beside him.

"Report ...... Qi Yu Wang, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp north of the city, and 50,000 soldiers were already trapped in a sea of fire and could not be rescued. At this moment, a horse rushed to make a quick report.

"Damn! Situ Tai, when the knife is divided! When Murong Cheng heard this, he immediately shouted angrily.

"Lord Wang, you should withdraw first, and the soldiers will stay behind. If you really have to do it, let them surrender to the enemy. Countless soldiers panicked in the city, Zhang Tu couldn't help but say.

"Okay, all the civil officials, the powerless literati will go with me, and give a decree to the brothers who remain behind, and say that the king is sorry for them. If they really can't get out, let them surrender. The king will not blame them, this is also a last resort, and it is all the king's fault. Murong Cheng said bitterly.

Murong Cheng hurried through the city with his personal guards and a group of cavalry, and at this time, the surrounding flames had not been completely released, so they could still pass through the people. Of course, you need to cover your mouth and nose, otherwise, nothing good will come of it. After the south gate was opened, the wind direction surged, the fire at the city gate became more and more intense, and dozens of people in front were burned alive on the spot, Murong Cheng was shocked and was about to retreat, when the soldiers outside the city began to shout. Immediately, Murong Cheng gritted his teeth, whipped his mount fiercely, and rushed out.

Subsequently, the guards, literati and cavalry who followed Murong Cheng rushed out one after another, and gradually, intermittently, as if rushing out of it, but compared to the original 130,000 soldiers in the city, this is a drop in the bucket.

After Murong Cheng left first, the defenders in the north of the city were even more confused, because they were the farthest away from the south gate, and they couldn't pass through on their legs. More importantly, as far as it seems now, they can't tell where the south, south, and west are at all. Therefore, even if you can walk, you will also lose your way. After all, they are not very familiar with this water pass.

As soon as several officers discussed, they had to order the soldiers to fly a white flag at the head of the north city and surrender to the Yongwang army, hoping to be accepted. Besides, this is also a way for His Royal Highness King Qi to leave them alive.

"It's good that there are no ordinary people in this water, otherwise, our sins would have been great." Looking at the red water pass in front of him, and the fire was getting more and more intense, Situ Tai couldn't help but sigh. Before the generals and colonels around him could make an excuse, they saw the flying cavalry in front of them report: "The remnants of the Qi army on the north city wall raised the flag and begged to surrender, please make a decision!"

"Accurate!" Situ Tai ordered in a cold voice.

When the east finally showed a hint of fish's belly white, the darkness finally began to subside. The day of the new earth is coming again, but for many, it will be the last day of their lives!

Zhang Tu took a deep breath, the air was filled with suffocating heat, although a hundred steps away, he could still clearly feel the scorching heat, you can imagine how hot it should be in the current Bishui Pass! Thinking that the nearly 100,000 elite soldiers of the Qi army in the city were about to turn into ashes, Zhang Tu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Squeak squeak......!"

The burned, somewhat deformed city gate suddenly opened, and a group of Qi soldiers poured out of the city gate in a hurry, but they ran forward less than ten steps, and the flames they brought with them burned even more violently because they suddenly saw the air. In an instant, they devoured these soldiers.

First, the lichens and hairs on the soldiers' bodies burned, and the soldiers who had not yet breathed their breath continued to roll and struggle in the sea of fire, and from time to time let out bursts of terrible howls, which were terrifying to hear, and in less than a moment, the smell of barbecued meat began to waft through the air.

In less than a meal, dozens of soldiers and men and horses were reduced to ashes, and only the iron armor on the soldiers' bodies was burned red, but they still maintained their original shape.

The soldiers outside the south gate sounded a sound of inhalation, all the soldiers, especially suitable, these are the rear and middle soldiers who stayed outside the city, they were all frightened by this terrible scene! At this moment, the entire Bishui Pass has already burned into a city of flames! The fire in the city, which could not be extinguished, had completely spread, igniting the wooden houses and straw huts in the city.

All the surviving soldiers were forced to gather in a narrow area within the city wall, only this small area, under the efforts of the soldiers, the fire has not yet spread, and it can be accommodated for the time being, but it will not be long before the rapid spread of the fire will burn to the root of the city wall, so the soldiers go crazy and squeeze to the city tower, and from time to time there are unlucky soldiers who are squeezed down from the city tower, either breaking their arms or breaking their legs.

The situation is already in chaos, and now even if the immortals descend to earth, it will be difficult to reverse the overall situation. Time was constantly passing, and the flames were burning bigger and bigger, and many soldiers were suffocated to death for two days due to lack of oxygen.

"Boom ......"

A section of the West City, because of the scorching heat, coupled with the fact that the city wall was crowded with people, this section was not a key defense object, so the city wall that was not rammed enough could not bear the heavy pressure anymore, and collapsed violently.

On the southern section of the city wall, Mo Wen, the general of the left army, desperately grabbed a section of sassal wood that came out of the city tower, swinging in the air like a swing, the city tower under his feet had collapsed, and now it had become a sea of red fire, and the choking smoke and scorching flames were suddenly rushing upward, so that he could not breathe.

"Liu Yu, Liu Yu, save me...... Hurry up and save General Ben......"

Mo Wen desperately called for help, but Liu Yu, a former good subordinate who was close at hand, did not respond, but just desperately retreated.

Feeling that his arms were beginning to weaken, Mo Wen was taken aback, and then he jumped up with the last remaining strength, and finally jumped on the slope of the broken wall, grabbed Liu Yu's calf, and then raised his head and gasped: "Liu Yu, ...... Pull me up. When General Ben goes back, he will reward you well. ”

"you/damn it, now you can't even keep your name, what reward are you talking about, what's more important than a name." Liu Yu cursed, but instead of pulling Mo Wen up, he kicked Mo Wen in the face mercilessly, Mo Wen snorted and let go of his hands weakly, and his whole body fell from the broken wall, and was swallowed up by the billowing smoke in an instant, and in the haze, Mo Wen was swallowed by the fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Because of the long period of moxibustion, the fragile houses and some unsturdy buildings in the city could no longer bear the weight and collapsed, and in the smoke and dust that filled the sky, some of the soldiers who were crowded in the corners of the houses fell into the hot rubble, and before these poor soldiers could get up from the rubble, the choking smoke and red fire rushed up again through the rubble, and soon swallowed everyone.

In the continuous wail, Xiang Lin, the exhausted former army general, stood up desperately, but was soon trampled under the feet of the rebels, when his face pressed against the rubble, Xiang Lin clearly felt a burning pain, green smoke rose from the side of his face, and he could even hear the sizzling sound of his face being burned.

Choking on the smoke, he opened his mouth and tried to breathe in a breath of air, but the burning heat in his chest did not subside, as if there was a fire burning. It's suffocatingly boring, in a trance. Xiang Lin saw a red flame running around him, like a sea of fire burning on the ground. Countless of their own soldiers are struggling and wailing in the flames......

"Why? Why is this so? ”

Xiang Lin groaned extremely unwillingly, is he really going to die here? The next moment, a heavy darkness struck and completely engulfed Xiang Lin. The dignified former army general, the general who commanded 50,000 Qi army soldiers was swallowed by the flames, and died here like countless soldiers.

The flames continued to burn, separated by Bishui Pass, and the Qi army and the Yongwang army faced each other in the north and south. However, the mood of the two is different. Situ Tai relaxed the biggest pressure in his heart at this moment. In this battle, he won. In this Bishui Pass, his fire, it can be said that he burned 100,000 soldiers of the Qi army, which is basically three-fifths of the current Qi army on the front line of Bishui Pass.

In other words, as far as the Qi army outside Bishui Pass is concerned, the other side no longer has an advantage in terms of strength comparison. From now on, on the first line of Bishui Pass, they have the upper hand, and the Qi army has fallen into the downwind. Then, from now on, the situation of being pressed and beaten by the Qi army is gone forever. From now on, here in Bishui Pass, they can fight back, they can press the Qi army to fight, and they are not afraid of anything.

For Situ Tai, this is only part of the harvest, and since today's war, he Situ Tai occupies a more important position in Situ Lei's heart. His big victory today will also occupy more voice in the army. Not to mention anything else, it is the more than 50,000 soldiers in this Bishui Pass, and they have begun to admire themselves from top to bottom. It was Su Yang, the defender of Bishui Pass, who also began to fall to his side. So, how far are you from the throne of King Yong?

In contrast, the Qi army camp south of Bishui Pass was much lower at the moment. Murong Cheng lived alone in the handsome tent, still sullen. In this battle, it took a lot of effort before and after, and in order to achieve the best results, he attacked the city in the Tiger Prison Pass, and you suffered heavy losses. However, for the success of this plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and for the victory of the surprise attack, he still gritted his teeth and commanded the soldiers to attack. But the end result? Here he suffered a miserable defeat, and the defeat was difficult for him to accept. His hard work turned out to be in the sight of the other party for a long time. This time he lost 100,000 soldiers, but he couldn't lose any more.
