Chapter 428: Unexpected Joy
As a result, the fire spread upwards again, and Xu Tong panicked and wanted to remove the armor, but the armor could not be taken off immediately for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The fire engulfed Xu Tong, and Xu Tong rolled on the ground and cried out miserably.
The guards around him tried to come and help him put out the fire, but before the fire could be extinguished, a lot of Molotov* bottles fell.
This time it was a dog.
These guards were also recruited one after another, and they themselves also ignited a fire, who would help Xu Tong extinguish the fire.
Although the target of the Molotov* bottle is these ships on the river, as a riverbank, under the extremely poor accuracy of the Molotov cocktail, this river bank is also the hardest hit area.
However, the main generals of this thief army are concentrated on the river bank.
As a result, they fell one after another.
Xu Tong was burned to death by the fire.
And the other two lieutenants of this thief army, Shen Ze and Zhuo Wanli, did not escape this catastrophe.
Shen Ze was more unlucky, the incendiary* bottle fell directly on top of his head, and he was burned to death by the fire before he even had time to react.
Zhuo Wanli was a little lucky, he was not burned by the incendiary * bottle, but he didn't know what he stepped on his feet, slipped, slipped and fell to the ground, and was trampled on several times by the soldiers who fled in a hurry behind.
The fire is relentless.
There were flames everywhere and smoke everywhere.
Not only the people, but also the wild grass in these places were also set on fire.
Looking down from the sky, it was a mess and cruelty.
The only good thing is that Xu Tong took these 40,000 people to camp in the east of the Grand Canal, and blocked the canal as soon as possible, so that there were no people and other ordinary merchants in this section of the river on this side, and it was these thieves and ships that were burned this time.
The fire is still burning.
The thieves on the riverbank had run out, and those who could not escape were burned to death, leaving only a large number of corpses.
Li Chu didn't know how many people were burned to death, but judging from the number of thieves who fled, it seemed that there were only a little more than 30,000 left.
In other words, there were at least 5,000 thieves who were killed by the fire this time.
It's not the point, the point is that this time the goal is accomplished.
The target this time is these ships.
To the east of Danyang is a large canal, which is a natural barrier.
Li Chu is not afraid of a large number of them, now that he occupies Danyang, with the city in hand, he is not afraid that they will be overwhelmed by the tactics of the sea of people, and now Li Chu is afraid that these people will only surround Danyang, but attack Changzhou and other places.
Because of this, Li Chu dispatched the hot air balloon air force, and waited for Xu Tong's 40,000 people to cross the river before attacking.
I'm not afraid that you cross the river, I'm afraid that you won't cross the river.
Once you've crossed the river, you've smashed the boat, and then you've got no idea if you want to cross the river and go back.
Burn your boat and see what you take to cross the river!
There is no way to cross the river, and with the natural barrier of the Grand Canal, the safety of Changzhou can be guaranteed.
There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and Changzhou is surrounded by rivers.
After Li Chu conquered Changzhou, when he came out of Changzhou, he also used the boats in Changzhou City to cross the river, and now these ships are docked in Changzhou City, and they can't get these boats, so even if they take a detour from Jintan, they can't go around this canal, and the safety of Changzhou has been guaranteed.
As for them going to fight back to Jintan, then fight.
The position of Jintan is now of little importance to Li Chu, and he has won Danyang, which is a throat!
"Let's go, return to Danyang."
The Molotov cocktails on the hot air balloon have all been squandered, and the air force without Molotov cocktails has no combat effectiveness for the time being, Li Chu ordered the captains on the walkie-talkie to let them return to Danyang County one after another.
When I returned, looking at the sea of fire under my feet, I still felt a little unbearable in my heart.
Don't blame, don't blame, if you want to blame, blame this period.
Fighting, where there is a place for the undead.
One will be a success!
The only thing Li Chu can guarantee them is that he will definitely be superior in policy to Jiangnan in the future.
The hot air balloon unit returned, but what Li Chu didn't know was that this time in addition to burning the 40,000 boats crossing the river in the east, it also burned at least 5,000 people, in addition to these 5,000 people, the three commanders of the 40,000 thief army also died in this sea of fire.
Without the backbone of the Lord, without these thieves under the command of the Lord, plus this fire gave them unimaginable horror in their hearts, until now they still don't know who the enemy is, especially since these thieves themselves are composed of ordinary people, where do they have cognition? Now when I see the fire falling from the sky, I think that God is angry and punishes them.
After this crazy escape, when there was finally no heavenly fire chasing after him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his breath eased, but his heart was panicked, and the heavenly wrath of the heavenly lord punished him, and his feet were trembling, extremely panicked.
Going to Danyang?
Go to Commander Zhang's side?
The fool went back over there.
Who would dare to go over there?
Don't you think that this Tianhuo didn't burn themselves, they luckily picked up a life, they still dare to go there, after seeing that the Tianhuo did not fall again, they immediately ran around, ran, ran to the countryside, ran to other places, in short, they all ran, after this Tianhuo, almost no one dared to go back to help Fang La.
The reason why Mingjiao is so prosperous in Jiangnan, and the reason why these people are confused by Fang La, is because Jiangnan is surrounded by the black smoke and miasma of the imperial court, and the people can't live anymore, so they find a little comfort from the great light god that Mingjiao moved out, and it is easy to be instigated by Fang La to rebel together.
Worshipping God and worshipping God is far less direct than God's punishment.
The god they worship has not yet shown miracles, and the punishment of the god of wrath is coming, and at this time, who of them dares to believe in the god of light again?
It must have been this god of light that angered the gods, otherwise how could there be this heavenly fire?
Of the more than 30,000 people who escaped, almost all of them scattered, and only a team of less than a few hundred people remained on the side of Danyang County.
In the sky, the hot air balloon air force is still on its way back to Danyang County.
The movements of these thieves at this foot were naturally seen by Li Chu.
This......
That's all gone?
Seeing these more than 30,000 people running towards Danyang, I thought that these people would go to the south gate to meet the surnamed Zhang, but I didn't expect them to scatter and escape.
This?
This, happiness came so suddenly?
Li Chu was a little flattered.
He made sure through the binoculars that these people really ran away, not the so-called separation tactics of the thieves, and at the same time, he would not think that these thieves of Fang La would have such a clever method of combat.
It's just that Li Chu still can't figure out why these people are like this.
A fire would have only destroyed more than 5,000 of them and the boats they had crossed, wouldn't it have been?
Or was their ruler also killed by this fire?
If that's the case, it's a clear explanation.
It was composed of some peasants, or many of them were made up of people who were forcibly conscripted or could not survive, and now that they had suffered such a tragic fire, coupled with the fact that the commander was burned to death, the possibility of escape was quite high.
Come to think of it, that's how it should be.
He didn't expect that a fire would not bring such an unexpected gain.
Originally, he only wanted to burn the ship, but in the end, he didn't burn off the 40,000 thieves, which was an unexpected joy.
However, these thieves can't run away like this.
The situation has been relieved in front of us, and it will definitely be cleaned again in the future.
After all, they did too much evil when they were in the Fang La army, but they were afraid that this run away, it is estimated that there is a great possibility of turning into bandits or something, and after Danyang is stabilized, it must be cut off again.
PS: This chapter counts as the 29th. There are two more changes on the 30th.
If it is anti-theft, it is three watches, and two watches if there is no defense.
