The rebel commander Wu Jingtian, after learning that the city wall had fallen, wisely moved the general headquarters from the county office.

In Wu Jingtian's eyes, the new mortar equipped by the Haw Par Army can hit the flowering shells on the city wall two miles away, and then hit the flowering shells on the city wall to the county government located in the city.

If the headquarters is not moved, the headquarters of Nuoda, and more than a dozen commanders, it is likely that they will be served by the Haw Par Army's flowering bombs.

Therefore, at this moment, Wu Jingtian was in a private house next to the county government, with an anxious face waiting for the latest battle report sent to him by various departments in the city after the fall of the city wall.

As soon as the attacking troops of the Haw Par Army in the city stopped, a rush of footsteps sounded at the door of the temporary headquarters.

Then, I saw the military advisor rushing in with a complicated expression of anxiety and excitement.

"Handsome... Good news... The Haw Par Army, which attacked us, really couldn't withstand the heavy casualties caused by the close-range fighting... According to the results of the brothers, in the attack that had just been half an hour earlier, the Haw Par Army had directly lost thousands of troops. And we, too, have lost more than a thousand people..."

"Now, the Haw Par Army, which has suffered heavy losses, has stopped attacking us......."

"Okay..."Hearing this, Wu Jingtian couldn't help but shout.

Subsequently, his nervous heart slowly relaxed, and he sighed to the military advisor: "Now it seems that our original decision was correct....as long as we consume a large number of troops in the city, the Haw Par Army will have to retreat." Because, the Haw Par Army has a limited number of troops. We can't afford to spend ......."

After all that's said. Wu Jingtian, who was in a good mood, continued to order: "Military Division." Immediately inform all the brothers in the city of the victory they have just won. Let the brothers know that only by fighting like this can they kill and injure the Haw Par Army in large numbers..."

Just when Wu Jingtian and the more than 10,000 traitors under his command stared at a pair of red eyes, waiting for the Tiger and Leopard Army to attack.

The Haw Par Army, which has gone deep into the streets and alleys of Baode County, has made a decision that shocked all the traitors....

Retired ......

That's right, it's the retreat, all the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army who entered the county. All withdrew from the county seat, relying on the city wall, and surrounded more than 10,000 traitors hiding in the county seat.

At the same time, a large number of fire-starters were piled up by the soldiers on the edge of the houses in the city......

With hundreds of torches held in the hands of the soldiers, Wei Zheng, who was standing on the city tower, directly ordered with a murderous face: "Pass on the commander's order, throw the torches, and burn the ...... of Baode County."

"Woo woo woo woo " A string of slight whistling sounds rang out over the city walls. More than 1,000 torches, burning with a raging fire, were quickly thrown into the city by the soldiers.

With the help of the things that start the fire. The torches quickly spread along the rampart of the city walls, and a raging fire ignited.

You know, Baode County is not too far away, nor is it the capital... As a small border county, it is the most prosperous town within a radius of 100 miles. However, in this town, except for a few sets of private houses such as the county government, all of them were built with young and strong. The rest of the houses are basically wooden structures.

Add to this the fact that the wood used to build these houses has been weathered over years, if not decades, and has completely dried out.

As soon as the fire caused by the ignition ignited, the row of wooden houses closest to the city wall was quickly ignited. Coupled with the help of the strong wind, the raging fire, like an unstoppable fiery red wave, slowly advanced towards the center of the city where the county government was located.

Under the sweep of the fire, the traitors who had just been hiding in the houses were like frightened birds, quickly pouring out of the houses. Then, along the street, they poured towards the center of the city where the county government was located.

At this time, Wu Jingtian, who had just relaxed his mood, was alarmed by the exclamations and howls outside the headquarters before he had time to take a breath.

When he walked out of the headquarters and looked in the direction of the guard's finger, the whole person was once again stunned on the spot.

In addition to the raging fires caused by the burning of private houses, there was thick black smoke that covered the sky.

What made Wu Jingtian feel even more desperate was that these fires and thick smoke actually surrounded the entire Baode County. Not only that, but the raging fire is still spreading to his location little by little......

At this time, the face of the military advisor who followed closely behind also showed an unprecedented expression of despair.

Under the gaze of a group of subordinates, he muttered to himself: "Fire attack....The official army actually attacked with fire... Aren't they going to ask for this county town under our feet, and they actually attack ...... with fire?"

"There are fires on all sides, and the officers and soldiers are going to burn all our more than 10,000 brothers here....Marshal, what should we do next, are we just waiting to be burned to death by the fire..."

"Yes, Dashuai....Lao Tzu would rather die at the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army than be burned alive..."

"Yes, Dashuai....Before the fire was completely burned, we immediately rushed out and fought hard with the Haw Par Army...."

"It's better to be killed by a Haw Par Army musket or blown up with a flowering bomb than to be burned to death by a fire...."

Faced with one instigation after another, Wu Jingtian, who was full of shock, finally reacted.

When there was no other way, he had to open his mouth and order: "The brothers are right, he was killed by the Haw Par Army with muskets, and he cannot be burned to death by fire......

"In the face of the attack of the tiger and leopard army, there is no way for the county under our feet to continue to defend it..."

"This commander ordered, all the commanders immediately gathered their brothers, rushed out of the sea of fire from all directions, launched a counterattack against the Tiger and Leopard Army, and scattered to break through, as many people as they could break out..."

"The commander personally commanded the personal guard battalion and followed the 1st Musket Battalion to break through..."

Under the cover of flames and smoke, the guards standing on the tower of the city could not see every move of the traitors in the city either.

However, before setting the fire, Wei Zheng was ready for a possible counterattack by the traitors.

In Wei Zheng's eyes, 'rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry...', not to mention the more than 10,000 traitors in Baode County who are armed to the teeth and have put life and death on the line.

Wei Zheng didn't dare to guarantee that in the face of the rolling fire, the more than 10,000 traitors would not launch a counterattack against him before he died. In order not to be burned to death by the fire, and in order to survive, he rushed out of the sea of fire and launched a counterattack against himself.

Therefore, within half an hour of preparing for the fire attack, not only one or two hundred mortars of various types, but also tens of thousands of musketeers, all climbed the city wall, formed one musket formation after another, and quietly waited for the arrival of the traitors.
