Chapter 123 The Death Knell

Liu Taishou and Ge Sima glanced at each other, both of them were the same, with blank expressions and dull eyes. After listening to Qi Shang's introduction and the roar of the Fire Dao people, and thinking about the situation in front of them, how could the two Qingyang chiefs not think of what was going to happen? It's just that this matter is too big, if it can really succeed, it will no longer be the gain or loss of one city and one place, no longer the victory or defeat of a battle or battle, but the reversal and reversal of the whole war!

The two adults were buzzing in their heads, completely stunned

The two of them still vaguely remembered that before the arrival of the main force of Tubo, Fanzi Vanguard had divided his troops around the city to attack Fengyi, and Song Yang sent Cicada Yasha to intercept the enemy, when Song Yang discussed this matter with Taishou and Sima, he said, "Fengyi will definitely be destroyed in the hands of Fanzi, but it is a good place, and I am not reconciled to be ruined by more than 30,000 defeated soldiers."

It sounded inexplicable at the time, but now in retrospect, it is very clear, Fengyi can become a fire purgatory at any time, Song Yang has long planned to use the layout of Fengyi to deal with Fanzi, but the terrible fire cave within a radius of fifty miles is used to burn to death the more than 30,000 forward cavalry that pass around the city, Song Yang feels that it is not cost-effective.

It was also that time, Cicada Yaksha was ordered to snipe the enemy, in order to annihilate the Fanzi cavalry, he did not hesitate to mobilize the Yaksha dependents to serve as yòu bait and cannon fodder, when the Cicada Yaksha returned to Qingyang in triumph, Song Yang sighed at the determination of the 'Yaksha', and once found Zheng Ji alone and said: In fact, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't hurt to let Fanzi attack the fiefdom.

Song Yang's meaning is very clear, those fancai invaded the feudal city, and it was a big deal to burn it down, for Song Yang and the others, it was a little less money, and there was no need to let the cicada yaksha implicate his military dependents.

And Zheng Ji's answer is very simple: it is indeed not necessary, but it is worth it...... Stopping the invasion of a small number of soldiers at the cost of a few thousand people and preserving this fire cave is equivalent to keeping the hope of allowing the fiefdom to exert greater power and annihilate more enemy troops.

Just for a 'hope', even if the thousands of people lost are the dependents of his own army, Zheng Ji still feels that it is worth it!

Once on the battlefield, the Cicada Yaksha does not treat the enemy as a person, does not treat his relatives as a person, and does not treat himself as a person, everything is just a number, everything is just a bargaining chip and capital used to pursue victory...... The war machine left behind in the world by the Great Hung Dynasty, the Cicada Yaksha.

In fact, it was really as Zheng Ji wished, he sacrificed thousands of people, and what he kept was a fire that was enough to burn hundreds of thousands of enemies.

In fact, from the beginning of Fengyi's dispatch of troops to resist and reinforce Qingyang, the 'Fengyi Fire Cave' was in the calculations of Song Yang, Zheng Ji, Jinma and other leaders and generals, but what kind of results this fire can be exchanged for, no one can say what kind of results. However, it is normal for people to suffer more losses before, and the more violent the revenge will come back later, if they want the army to kill the feudal province vigorously, they have to beat them in front, it hurts them to grit their teeth, it hurts them to be aggrieved and depressed, it hurts so much that they jump like thunder, and they must find a way to show their prestige and get back face after breaking Qingyang.

Therefore, regarding the War of Resistance in Qingyang City, all the feudal forces under Song Yang fought with their lives, otherwise why was it so tragic and suffered so many casualties......

Qi Shang's words were not finished yet, but he was temporarily silenced, and when the two Qingyang chiefs recovered from the shock, he continued: "The power of this fire, you don't have to worry, Huo Zhenren and Guiguzi are not only arranging a fire, but also a big array!" ”

The fiefdom is different from the eye city, the palace in the eye city is dead, it can't run; But the enemies in the fiefdom are all alive, and they will escape and break through.

So a fire, just burning is far from enough, but also has to get up to the momentum, block the whole territory so that the enemy has nowhere to escape, relying on the fire road people alone to catch it, but with the ghost valley to cooperate with things is completely different, the blind man integrates his Qimen Dunjia's ability into the design of arson, the two complement each other, in terms of thought and design alone, far better than the arrangement of their brothers in the eye city.

Qi Shang said for a long time, his face hurt, and he couldn't help but glance at Pasha, his eyes full of envy...... Not long ago, he laughed at Pasha's wound and looked much more exaggerated than his, but his head was bald and he didn't delay speaking, and his mouth was torn as soon as he moved, and the mouth on his cheek was pulled.

However, no matter how difficult the conditions are, they can't stop Boss Qi's determination to speak: "This fire is used to burn thieves, but the fire is ruthless, and he only knows how to burn everything and doesn't know how to distinguish between friends and foes. If you only think about digging a pit, but forget to leave a rope ladder for yourself, then you are not a fool? Our family Changchun Marquis can't do this kind of thing, and he built a road in the fiefdom to the depths of the mountains. ”

Hearing this, how could Liu Taishou not be able to guess, and asked, "The entrance to the tunnel is here?" ”

Qi Shang smiled stiffly and nodded: "Yes, it's in Miaoxiang!" ”

Originally, the entrance to the escape road built in the fiefdom was in the small town of Yanziping, but later Miaoxiang was built auspiciously, and Song Yang blocked the original entrance and changed it to the holy land, which was the idea discussed by everyone, and the reason for this is very simple:

When you use the underground road to escape, it must be when a strong enemy invades and the fire is about to start, and there are two keys to this, one is that the secret passage is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also takes time for everyone to escape. Another key point is that the final escape place should be a 'place where the Nanli people should defend to the death' in the eyes of the enemy, and the most important place in the fiefdom is this sacred land of Buddhism, and the Marquis of Changchun will not arouse suspicion if the enemy soldiers kill the people in the fiefdom and rush to the inconsequential town, the other party will of course be suspicious.

All the designs have been designed with a lot of thought.

"There are countless large and small fire points hidden in the fiefdom, each of which is carefully camouflaged, and it will not be easy to be discovered, even if it is found, it doesn't matter, the ignition drugs stored in it are all unique configurations of the fire road people, and outsiders don't know what it is when they see it, and it is difficult to associate it with arson." Qi Shang changed the topic from escape back to arson: "Although there are many fire points, if you want to set fire, you only need to ignite fifty-one key places at the same time. ”

"And what about them...... What happens when a fire starts? Liu Taishou's tone hesitated.

"Fifty-one of the most devout Buddhists in Nanli, sacrificing their lives only to subdue demons and defend the Tao." Boss Qi exhaled a long breath of turbidity, waved his hand and said: "That's it, the fire cave in the feudal city, it is the Taoist Xuanmen and my Buddha disciples who joined forces, the divine fire rises from the ground, but the divine will descends from the sky, it is the immeasurable true fire and the red lotus karmic fire, and the fire will not be left when the fire is outdated!" ”

The good topic was finally over, and Boss Qi only felt refreshed, and his face didn't hurt anymore.

And Lord Liu was shocked when he heard it, and he suddenly figured out one thing: "The city gate ......"

When breaking through from Qingyang, Song Yang ordered the support and protection of the four gates to be removed. If it is enough to open one gate just to escape, why remove all the support of the gate? Unless Song Yang has other plans.

Sure enough, Qi Shang nodded and smiled: "Just to let Fanzi destroy all four city gates!" It won't be long before we will go back to Qingyang, and when the time comes, it will be inconvenient to switch from defense to attack, and it will be inconvenient to have a gate in the way, so let's just destroy it in advance! ”

Pa Xia, who had been silent, couldn't help but laugh strangely: "The main force of Fanzi has become a roast pig here, and the people who stay in Qingyang City can stop us?" Qingyang is still ours, since Song Yang took everyone to reinforce Qingyang, he would not leave him in the hands of Fanzi. ”

Liu Taishou and Ge Sima's eyes lit up at the same time: I still have to go back... I'm still going back!

At this time, the various armed forces who hid in the auspicious place have summarized their opinions, some people want to leave and some people want to stay, not that those who want to leave are afraid of death and brave to stay, but everyone has different 'appreciation angles' for the upcoming fire, most of the barbarians like to go to the mountains and high places to see, and the cicada yaksha must continue to stay, at least until the fire burns, they have to stay in the auspicious place, in case the fan is suspicious.

Shi Xiaoxiao and Song Yang joined forces to move the golden-bodied Buddha in a large hall, and the people who wanted to leave left under the leadership of Gu Zhaojun left. Liu Er took the lead with a whistle, led his Liu family's army to dàngdàng, and went into the road first. Even if no one else leaves, this group of ferocious beasts must leave first, otherwise the fire will burn and frighten them, and no one will be able to stand it.

The road was built tall enough, the feet were flat, the stone walls were illuminated, and everyone moved quickly to evacuate one after another, and soon a strong monk came running, just looking at his steps, you know that this person has extraordinary martial arts, and steadily stepped into the cultivation of a high-grade warrior, this person's law name is 'Qingkong', and he is a devout Buddhist, Shi Xiaoxiao's right-hand man, responsible for watching the enemy on the highest stupa in the auspicious place.

Qingkong Chengbing: At the end of the line of sight, the dust was rising, and the main force of the Fan army appeared, rushing towards Fengyi.

Song Yang's response to this was only a laugh of 'ha', the laughter was loud and bright.

……

After the arrival of the Tubo army and the entry into the fiefdom, the marshal first gathered forces and pulled out the troops, and after listening to his report, the marshal was inevitably a little surprised, he had already been rewarded by the vanguard army, and knew that the enemy had a ghost face army in his hands that could be called elite, but he never imagined that the ghost face army would be so strong that even Riluo was not their opponent. But it doesn't matter, the army has been killed, no matter how wonderful the formation in the auspicious place is, after all, the place is limited, which is the same as the wolf trap has no use for the elephant, as long as the army is launched, the small Miaoxiang auspicious land will soon be razed to the ground.

There was no need to trim at all, the marshal ordered the army to immediately launch a surprise attack and began to storm the auspicious land, without surprise, they were immediately attacked by the fierce sniper of the cicada Yasha, and the horns were scattered in all directions, and the shouts of killing alarmed the heavens and the earth, and the quiet place of Buddhist practice turned into a flesh and blood butcher in the blink of an eye!

Chang Chunhou did not withdraw, and all Liu Taishou and Ge Sima also stayed, seeing that the vicious battle began again, Taishou was a little anxious, and wanted to ask but did not dare to speak...... It's time to set it on fire, right? Do you have to wait any longer?

"I have to wait a little longer," Shi Xiaoxiao could see Taishou's anxiety, and the smile of the beautiful monk was as beautiful as ever: "The Tubo team is huge, and the attack in front has begun, but the team in the back has not yet entered the fiefdom, and it will not be completely burned if it is lit now." ”

Even if the strength and pull of the report, the auspicious place of the great array of the mysteriousness and the ferocity of the iron mask army still slightly exceeded the expectations of the Tubo marshal, the battle was not too smooth at the beginning of the onslaught, but the absolute advantage in numbers was gradually revealed, the army steadily gained the upper hand, advancing layer by layer, step by step into the auspicious land.

The battle that began in the afternoon was auspiciously occupied by dusk, and it was not necessary to think about it to know that the space for the Ghost Face Army to detour was getting smaller and smaller, and the distance to being completely annihilated was getting closer and closer...... As soon as the soldiers who reported the military situation finished speaking, suddenly a bell rang from the center of the auspicious place. Loud, melodious and solemn, slowly drifting in all directions.

The marshal felt a little ridiculous, and casually smiled at the generals around him: "At this time, they can still care about ringing the bell?" Why are you so inattentive? ”

Li Heba made fun of his uncle, and said with a smile: "It's useless for them to concentrate, there is only a dead end left, while their hands and feet are still growing on themselves, hurry up and ring the bell a few times, they are ringing the death knell." ”

As soon as the words fell, almost at the same moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from all directions!

The fiery serpent rolled up, and the already twilight, dim sky was illuminated again, and the Fan army could see the fire, but they could not understand how the fire could burn so quickly; Why did just a few flames rise into the sky in the blink of an eye, and why did they connect into pieces in a few breaths, turning into walls of fire and mountains of flames, sweeping in from all directions......

Like the soldiers, when the flames first started, the Tubo marshal and the generals under his command did not panic, it is normal to burn a few fires during the war, most of them are some Nanban arson who has slipped through the net and hidden in the shadows to disturb the audio-visual but has not waited for the order to extinguish the fire to pass on, as if it really just blinked his eyes, and the small flames in the distance turned into the sky-burning flames in front of him!

There is no shortage of good generals in the army, and the marshal himself is also familiar with the art of war and has rich combat experience, and he dares to lead the army to drive straight into nature and has also thought about the possibility of ambush, but the weather in Nanli is now humid, and the landform of Yanziping is frank, so the time and terrain want to burn a fire that can hurt the army, unless Song Yang can be like the marshal burning Qingyang, he can transport hundreds of thousands of people and millions of cans of fire oil, it is very clear that this is impossible.

What's more, Fanzi didn't just come, Li Heba led 40,000 Erlang to sweep the dàng in the fiefdom for several days, even if there was an ambush, it should have been touched by them a long time ago.

It's not that the marshal underestimates the enemy, it's just that he can't imagine that there is really a madman in this world, and he has arranged his lair into a huge fire cave; It's just that he can't understand that there are still strange people in this world, such as Huodao people and Guiguzi, and with Xuanqi's design and a few years of preparation, he can really turn the crazy man's idea into reality...... To put it bluntly, this is a fire beyond the marshal's cognition, he has no defense at all, and at the moment when he made the decision to send troops to Yanziping and sweep the auspicious land, he stepped into the ghost gate with one foot.

It took a long time to go back and forth before and after the battle, but the real key to the success of the enemy around which everything was designed, or rather, was this: the fire was impossible, but it was indeed hidden in the fiefdom.

There was only a dazzling firelight in front of him, obscuring everything, but it could not hide the hasty running of the soldiers under his command; The burning sound in his ears was so vigorous that it was faintly mixed with the screams of the sons and daughters, and the marshal stood stunned, completely stunned, the fire was so sudden and fierce that he couldn't tell it clearly in his trance: was the flames from the trickery of the Marquis of Changchun, or from the divine punishment of the immortal Buddha's wrath?

The fire was scorching, the heat was scorching, the marshal's body was roasted, but his heart was cold, so cold that he couldn't help shivering. Liheba dragged his uncle back desperately, with a strange scream in his mouth, I don't know what he was shouting, the marshal finally woke up in shock, took a deep breath of hot air, tried to calm himself and calm himself, and grabbed the soldiers beside him: "Pass the number, ask about the situation of each department." ”

The marshal can't mess around, and if he panics the army, it's over. The current situation is critical, and the top priority is to understand the fire, but everyone is in the fire, and no one can see the overall situation clearly. However, the marshal knows all the deployment and stationing of all the troops under his command well, and he will use the military number to exchange information, and then summarize it after understanding the environment of each unit, so that he can make a judgment on the overall situation of the fire, and he can know where the fire is terrible and where the fire is weak in the Yanziping fiefdom, and then determine the direction of escape and the strategy of breaking through.

In a hurry, it was good for the marshal to think of this solution, but unfortunately, he did not have enough time. The fire spread too fast, much faster and more ferocious than expected, and before the clarion call of the various departments could be heard, the fire was churning and swept into the important ground of the Chinese army.

Li Heba and Ba Tuo one left and one right, helping up the marshal Tuǐ and running, while Ba Tuo ran away while whining and blowing the horn in his hand, he was blowing the assembly horn... The commander of the Binding Ridge is also a Predator, and there is no other way to do it now, so he has only one thought: to rescue the marshal from danger. The fire is difficult to solve and break, so he has to gather people, even if it is to fight with human lives and use the corpses of his sons to pave it, he must pave a bone road for the marshal and let him escape!

As long as the soldiers near the Chinese army could still arrive, they all gathered over, and thousands of people were crowded together, protecting the marshal in the center, and running out like a swarm.

But the marshal lost his mind again...... He heard the horns in the distance, in different directions, from different distances, and he didn't need to think about it to know that this was the various troops under his command responding to his previous orders, reporting to him the state of their troops, but without exception, all the horns were the same rhythm, the same frequency, and the same meaning: call for help.

All the troops, all crying for help with a clarion call!

Some of the trumpets stopped abruptly halfway through; More trumpets are repeated over and over again...... In the past, the sonorous military horn was full of killing, but now in the ears of the marshal, only boundless poignant ...... RQ！。
