Chapter 118: Evil Flame

The quartermaster guessed correctly.

In terms of 'crime' alone, Qingyang is enough to slaughter 100,000 Tibetan pioneers, but this extreme method is a double-edged sword: if used well, it can completely hit the enemy's morale, so that the people of Nanli fall into fear and dare not resist anymore; But it is also possible that the anger of the people will be aroused, and the Tubo people will encounter even more frantic and desperate resistance in the future

The Tubo marshal was not sure what kind of reaction the Nanli people would have after the slaughter of Qingyang, so he did not plan to use this trick before the main force of the army attacked the city. But in just two days...... On the first day, the slaves were mutinied, and the soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties; The next day, the moat skyrocketed, and although there was not much loss of manpower, nearly a million jars of fire oil were wasted.

The unbreakable and insoluble 'driving force, and 'rope throwing', the two most proud and invincible means of the plateau warriors, were effortlessly disintegrated by the enemy.

You must know that it has only been two days, and the two sides have not even really engaged in the battle, and the Tubo army, which has an absolute advantage, is dead, wastes oil, and loses a piece of salamella, what has Qingyang to lose? At best, it's a stinky river.

Marshal Tubo probably understood one thing: his own 100,000 forwards were wiped out in front of Qingyang City in just a few days, I am afraid it was not accident or luck. So he finally made up his mind: burn the city and burn it clean! Don't give Qingyang a chance to play tricks again.

The quartermaster did not dare to persuade the marshal's decision, but only reminded him of his duty: "According to the amount of fire oil dispatched by the marshal, the treasury will be empty, and if the fire oil is used again in future wars..."

The marshal said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will autobiography the back of the book, and then transfer the fire oil to replenish the storage." Then he issued a military order, ordering his generals to dispatch heavy troops to escort the oil with the quartermaster to ensure the safety of the journey.

In the following days, the Tubo people did not move, firmly entrenched their positions, and surrounded Qingyang like an iron bucket, but did not launch any attack, and of course Fanzi would not fight with his life against the enemy who was about to be burned to death in a city. As a result, Qingyang also had a few days of quiet, and the people and horses in the city were busy with their own affairs, and the mountain streams ran up to the city every day, hoping that the enemy would come and attack the city, so that they could let go and kill; The fire man walked around the magical sassafras every day and night, there was nothing in the sky that he couldn't burn, and now there was suddenly an extra piece of wood that was not afraid of fire, and the Taoist couldn't see this, and didn't want to think of it as chopping wood to burn the dwarf Lao Dao couldn't sleep; Ge Sima counted the days every day, calculating when the reinforcements would arrive, but until the half-moon period had passed, he still did not receive any news of the reinforcements, and the old man couldn't bear it anymore and ran to ask the Taishou.

Liu Houzhong slapped his hand on the door of his head: "Chang Chunhou explained to me a while ago, I forgot to tell you... The reinforcements did not come, and they were temporarily stationed in Pingjun on the order of the marquis. ”

Pingjun is a small city behind Qingyang, and there is no danger to defend and there is a lack of military resources.

When Ge Sima heard this, he was anxious: "What are you doing with the reinforcements in Pingjun?" If Qingyang is finished, how can Pingjun be able to hold it? ”

"Chang Chunhou is what he says, and I don't know what his old man thinks. Anyway, I don't dare ask. Liu Taishou spread his hands, and with a helpless face, he then pouted Master Sima: "Or... You go and ask? ”

Ge Sima muttered: "Just ask, you wait, I'll ask to understand!" So saying, he walked out.

Don't look at the old man as a rigid temper, but he also has a lively eye, he didn't dare to run to question Song Yang directly, but dragged Qi Shang to drink...... As a result, the wine had just begun to be drunk, and before he could say a word, there were suddenly horns outside the city, and the Fanzi army began to move.

A large quantity of fire oil arrived, and the army was equipped.

The scene that the people of Qingyang were tired of reappeared, and the oil cans were overwhelming, but this time the overwhelming oil cans not only smashed into the city, but also flew into the city and splashed everywhere! Shocked, the Huodao people couldn't care about playing with the sassal wood anymore, and hurried to extinguish the red fireworks that had been burning in the city for a long time.

Not to mention the difference in direction, the number is far better than before, the army treasury is exhausted, the army is ordered to throw it away, and the marshal of Tubo has another strict order: this battle will not be surrendered!

Even if the Qingyang guards raised their hands and surrendered, there was only one way to die. To be able to serve as the commander of the army, his mind is naturally firm, and the domineering means of destroying the whole city are either not used, and if they are used, they will never stop halfway, and after the new rope throwing offensive begins, even if the Nanban in Qingyang City knows the fierceness of the army, it will be too late.

It is also because of the determination to burn the city and not surrender, so this fire does not need to wait for the oil cans to be smashed before going to the point, after the first few rounds of throwing, Fanzi attacked the city with rockets, and then inoculated the oil cans to the city and smashed them continuously・・・・・・ the rope throwing from noon also lasted until late at night, and finally emptied all the oil cans!

Seeing Qingyang's fire from weak to strong, the evil flames jumped higher and higher, until the last great city completely turned into a huge brazier, from the commander of the army down, many generals laughed non-stop.

It was really burning, and the destruction of the previous 100,000 advance squads, the mutiny of 50,000 slaves, the loss of millions of oil tanks, and the many frustrations and anger of Fanzi were finally put down with this fire

Different from the arson city, the burning of the city fire is not stones, but houses, buildings, trees, etc., a fire is not extinguished, even the rain is helpless, a full seven days and seven nights passed, the fire in Qingyang City was gradually weakened, and finally extinguished・・・・・・ the last important town in Nanli and the west of Xinjiang, the last position of the Zhenxi Wang family was completely burned by the flames.

In seven days, it is impossible for the army to drill into the fire, so it is stationed in place and waiting, the generalissimo passed the book to the south of the Quartet, from the phoenix city of the emperor of Nanli to the northern border of the bridge, the Tubo military book with the marshal's seal spread all over the large and small cities of Nanli, the wording of the fan is decent, and the greetings and blessings do not fall, but the meaning of the military book is just one sentence: Qingyang has turned to ashes, if you resist again, you will be with this city!

The fire was first extinguished, but no one could enter the city, so the marshal ordered the whole army to guard against arrogance and not be impatient, 'Hang, it will break down the door and search again one day.' At the same time, the high-ranking generals of the army gathered in the big tent.

Qingyang must be finished, no need to think about anything, through the efforts of the past few days, the marshal has drawn up the next course of action, convened the people to discuss the military situation, the atmosphere is relaxed and happy, everyone is in a good mood, after the discussion, the marshal even left everyone behind, just held a small banquet in the Chinese military tent, and also opened a jar of old wine, it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol when the military is in the body, but a group of generals drink such a small altar, it would be good for one person to get a cup, and it would not hurt to get drunk and indulge. Just burned a city and caused such a big killing, no matter how happy you are, it is inevitable that there is something bad in your heart, and it is much more comfortable to drink wine and press it.

The banquet dispersed, and there was nothing to do all night, just wait for dawn to send people into the city to search, find the body of Chang Chunhou, the prince Lingjian, and the city guard Great Seal, Qingyang The battle is completely over, and the army can continue to advance

That night, the commander of the army slept sweetly, woke up at dawn, was washing and suddenly entered the account, and his face was strange, and his voice was even more dry: "Qiyu handsome, Qingyang... Qingyang...... The pro-soldier 'Qingyang, after a long time, he couldn't say why, the marshal waited impatiently and stretched out his hand to push him aside, and walked out of the big tent to look at Qingyang, and then the marshal was taken aback!

A charred black city, heavy, dilapidated, and lifeless, it is obviously a dead city, but on the head of the city, there is a flag! Nanli Dragon Flag, red

The Ō Army Flag, the Expedition to the West Shuai Flag, and the Ivy Spring Banner, one side and one color, are fluttering fiercely in the morning breeze, dàng rippling with vigor and strong morale.

The marshal of the army only felt dizzy, is this haunted, after the burning fire of the city for seven days and seven nights, how can anyone still survive?

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a sudden sound in Qingyang City, "Bang, the ground, the muffled sound of flames bursting, and after a while, I saw a red smoke in the city that did not disperse in the wind, rolling up, and rushing straight into the sky, and it was clearly visible within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The red smoke that had previously summoned stragglers had risen again, and now it had another meaning, showing that the green sun was still there, and the green sun of Nanli was still there.

Everyone in the army saw the vision of Qingyang City, everyone was in a dream, and they really couldn't believe what was in front of them, and hundreds of thousands of people were dumbfounded, and the vast world was as silent as death...... Until a white-robed man jumped on the arrow battlement at the head of the city, the huge blade in his hand was like blood, pointing at the commander of the Tubo army from afar, and smiled at the dense Fanzi army and urged: "Go to breakfast, come and attack the city when you are full." ”

The laughter was loud and spread all over the world, and after Song Yang yelled, he jumped back to the city to have breakfast.

The king of Zhenxi once said to Song Yang that when Nanli Taizu founded the country, he had selected a site in the central, western and northern parts of the country to build a large treasury to store military supplies for emergency use, and the three large warehouses were all caves, hidden deep under the ground. Originally, the Western Xinjiang Reservoir was located in Qingyang, but when the Great Reservoir was about to be completed, a little 'blood water' seeped out from the cracks in the ground, which was actually just some ordinary rust water, indicating that the nearby soil had a high iron content, although it was not common, it was a normal geological phenomenon, but in 'ancient times, it seemed that this matter was a bad omen, Emperor Taizu ordered the closure of this place, and the Western Xinjiang Basement was another location.

This matter is not a secret, the father of the king of Zhenxi told it as a mysterious story to the prince, and later the prince became a father, and told the story to Xiaofu and Chu Rong・・・・・・ when the Marquis of Changchun decided to send troops and reinforce Qingyang, Ananda Jinma carefully counted the means of the army, and the rope method of warfare was of course the top priority, and the fan could burn the city wall naturally and the city, this matter must be guarded against, if you can't think of a way to resist, simply don't send troops, Chu Rong naturally thought of the 'ghost story' he heard when he was a child.

After Song Yang arrived in Qingyang, the most important task of the earth monkey was to re-excavate and repair the former warehouse, so that it could be used for refuge when the city was burned by Fanzi.

At that time, the large warehouse was the emperor's hand-picked, the project supervised by the important personnel, the materials were excellent, the construction was strict, although it was abandoned for more than 100 years, although it was deserted, the rotten water was not knee-long, but the shelf of the cave was still completely free of collapse, and the quality of the project was first-class. And the reputation of the earth monkeys is not in vain, after emptying the stagnant water, it is just a trivial matter for them, and then further expand the basement space, and at the same time open up a long air path, all the way to the outside of the city, to ensure that the basement can still breathe easily when the city is a sea of fire.

The ruins of the basement are intact, the earth monkeys are working hard, and the laborers in the city are not idle, transporting a large number of materials down the basement.

When Fanzi began to set fire, the soldiers and people in the city took refuge in the underground according to the prior deployment, until the fire was extinguished after everyone came out again, late last night taking advantage of the thick darkness Song Yang personally led people to the city to plant the flag, which had this early this morning 'flag all over the city, the shocking situation.

The important generals in the Tubo army all saw the big banner on Qingyang City and heard Song Yang's shout, and they consciously rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army to receive the order without the call of the commander, and everyone looked at the marshal...... The corners of the marshal's eyes twitched unconsciously.

How should the Tibetan army deal with it next?

Siege the enemy city to the death? This is a good way, after a fire, there will be a loss of military funds in Qingyang City, and the marshal does not believe that their surplus food can keep the defenders out for two months. However, he himself could not afford to spend two months, and the battle in Nanli had to be won not only but also quickly, even if the marshal wanted to drag Chai Tsota, he would not agree.

The marshal has nothing to say, just two words: storm!

But why did you burn the city in the first place?

It's not because the Tibetan marshal didn't want to storm it.

There is a large number of powerful savages in this city to help defend the city, and the city is sure to win but the casualties are difficult to control, but now, the slaves are dead, the cans of oil have been smashed, and Qingyang City has simply been burned into a huge carbon stone, and the defenders have begun to eat breakfast.

Now, the means have been exhausted, and there is no other way but to fight hard and see the truth.

The defenders were covered by strong gates and high walls, and they condescended to occupy the position during the battle; The Fan army is strong and strong, the number far exceeds the Qingyang soldiers, both sides have their own advantages, put into this attack, there is no other tricks, just use swords and human lives to speak in this vicious battle.

At this point, Song Yang also really dragged the army into the enemy's most unwanted, real siege battle. However, for such a war, the Tubo people just don't want to, they are not afraid.

The piercing horns are stacked endlessly, the slinging arms and heavy crossbows in the Tubo camp are all launched, and the tall soldier towers specially used for siege are also dragged slowly forward by the soldiers, and there are heavy soldiers carrying swords, long shields, and cloud ladders, with the commander's order, Hao Hao dàngdàng pounced on Qingyang.

The offensive came from all directions, and the Tibetan army was swarming!

Qi Shang had steamed buns in his left hand and pickles in his right hand, frowning and looking at the enemies surging like a tide, with a displeased expression: "Didn't you say that you would have breakfast first?" ”

Pasha seemed to feel that his brother tǐng teased, and laughed hehehe, I have to say, a dull man from the mountains, with a mouth of good white and neat teeth. RS！。
