"The horse in front of him reported that Wei Hong was coming to Benyue Prefecture. It is estimated that it will be two days before it arrives. The man in black replied respectfully, bowing his head.

Wu Mou stood in place and hesitated for a moment, looked up at the city wall where Li Yuanjing was located, and then said with a firm look in his eyes: "Send two hundred and fifty people to the capital to destroy Hongyuan Commercial Bank, and the rest of the people will follow me to block Wei Hong, don't let Wei Hong make trouble for the king at this time!" After that, Wu Mou, under the leadership of the man in black, took more than a hundred masters to Wei Hong's only way, this is the time when Wu Mou can finally contribute to Li Yuanjing.

When Wu Mou left from the back gate of Yuezhou City, Cheng Zhijie also arrived at the front gate with the vanguard army. When he saw the big wooden barrels all over the ground, Cheng Zhijie frowned, a bad premonition rose in his heart, and he hurriedly ordered the vanguard army to stop moving. Then he looked up at the guards on the wall, and when he realized that the flames burning on the wall were not torches, but rockets. Cheng Zhijie finally realized what these wooden barrels were for, and immediately yelled: "It's not good, there is fraud!" The whole army retreats! ”

Cheng Zhijie's voice was very loud, and it spread throughout the army, and in the end, not only the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty heard it, but even Li Yuanjing on the city wall. The corners of Li Yuanjing's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he waved his big hand: "Shoot!" ”

A thousand arrows rose into the air at the same time, and a moment later clanged into the barrels in front of the vanguard. Due to the blind fire of the black light, the first wave of fire only hit more than a hundred barrels. But thanks to the illumination of the first wave of rockets, the second wave of rockets that followed it into the air shot all the remaining barrels.

The flames on the rocket burned the wooden barrel through, and when the wooden barrel could no longer isolate the flame and the fire oil inside, only a loud 'boom' sound was heard, and the originally dark battlefield was instantly illuminated by the fire. A stout and huge fire dragon rose from the ground, instantly burning the hundreds of Tang soldiers closest to the barrel into half-cooked lumps.

"Withdraw! Withdraw me! Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Cheng Zhijie roared like crazy, directing the chaotic vanguard army to retreat as much as possible. But the war horse was frightened by the flames, frightened, and it was difficult to control it at all, but it continued to rampage in place, making the already chaotic formation even more chaotic, no matter how Cheng Zhijie shouted, it was difficult for the vanguard army to retreat.

The 1,000 exploding oil drums were just a prelude, and when Cheng Zhijie tried his best to guide the army to retreat, the flames rushed towards the vanguard army at a very fast speed with the help of the southeast wind. Looking at the growing fire, Cheng Zhijie wondered in his heart, it is not autumn now, the weeds on the ground are still green, why can this flame still spread? So, Cheng Zhijie looked down and found that the weeds under his feet were stained with a layer of black oil. Seeing this situation, Cheng Zhijie suddenly realized that Li Yuanjing must have sent someone to sprinkle the fire oil outside the city a long time ago, and the fire oil inside splashed everywhere when the wooden barrel was fried just now, making the surrounding fire oil thicker. When the flame is blown by the southeast wind, it can ignite all the places that are stained with fire oil at a very fast speed.

When Cheng Zhijie reacted, he found that the flames had arrived in front of him. Although the flame area is large, except for the place where the oil drum exploded, the flame burned very lightly, and the flame was only half a foot high, and the cavalry sat on horseback and would not be burned by the flame at all. But the war horse was hit by the seedlings, and the flames burned to the horse's hooves, and the war horse could not bear the pain, and even more did not listen to the indulgence, and ran in all directions. Some war horses even rushed directly into the place where the flames were most vigorous, and in an instant, even the people and horses were swallowed by the flames.

Soon, the flames covered the entire vanguard army, and even the war horse under Cheng Zhijie's crotch was not spared. The war horse carried Cheng Zhijie and collided indiscriminately in the camp, Cheng Zhijie had no choice but to turn over and jump off the horse, and as soon as his legs hit the ground, the flames climbed up along Cheng Zhijie's trouser legs. Cheng Zhijie endured the burning sensation from his legs, used a plate axe as a shovel, and dug a pit the size of a bathtub under his feet. Cheng Zhijie hurriedly jumped into the dirt pit and used soil to extinguish the fire on his legs, but Rao was like this, the two trouser legs were still burned, and the calves were red. Fortunately, the clothes of this era were all hemp, and when burned, they turned into ashes and did not adhere to the skin like nylon.

The surrounding soldiers, following Cheng Zhijie's example, jumped off their horses one after another and dug pits in place to avoid the attack of the flames. The soldiers survived, but the horses were burned to death and wounded, and in the end, when the flames were extinguished, there was not a single horse on the scene that could continue to fight. Li Yuanjing's fire turned 8,000 invincible cavalry into more than 6,000 infantry with burns and low combat ability.

The fire attack was just a prelude, and as the flames were extinguished, Cheng Zhijie's vanguard army had not yet recovered from the shock, when they heard a shocking shout of killing coming from the direction of Yuezhou City. Cheng Zhijie, who was lying in the dirt pit and stuck his legs into the cold soil, looked at it and found that the gate of Yuezhou had been wide open, and the black-pressed infantry was roaring and rushing here.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Zhijie did not order a retreat, but yelled: "Kill me!" Although the vanguard army lost its war horses and lost more than 1,000 people due to the fire, Cheng Zhijie believed that Rao was like this, and the army under his command was definitely not something that those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Li Yuanjing's hands could defeat.

Li Yuanjing, who was standing on the city wall, watched Cheng Zhijie lead the miserable vanguard army not only did not run, but continued to rush and kill, and couldn't help but smile again, looking at Cheng Zhijie with a sad look, and said to himself: "Lu Guogong also has times when the old horse stumbles......

The soldiers who rushed out of Yuezhou City were not ordinary shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but eight hundred sword and axe hands carefully selected by Li Yuanjing who were hidden behind the city wall in advance. The combat capability of these 800 people is something that even the regular army of the Tang Dynasty has to look up to. Maybe the number is too small, but Li Yuanjing's purpose is not to use these 800 swords and axes to exterminate Cheng Zhijie's remaining 6,000 vanguard army, but to eat away at the combat effectiveness of the vanguard army as much as possible and crush the morale of the vanguard army and even the entire main force of the Tang Dynasty. What Li Yuanjing lacks now is not the army, nor good generals, let alone the right time and place, but morale! Without morale, no matter how many troops there are, they are just a rabble. And with morale, Li Yuanjing has the confidence to beat the army under his command into an army that can truly be called an 'army'. (To be continued.) )
