Chapter 109: Burning the City
When the generals saw that our morale was high, they were both happy and sad, rejoicing that the soldiers could fight, and worrying that this precipitous pass stronghold might not be so easy to break
"Dashuai, if you attack hard, I'm afraid you will lose a lot, so things won't be good." Zhang Wuwu bowed forward and said lightly.
Yang Qi looked at Zhang Wuwu, groaned slightly, and said, "What is General Zhang's clever plan?" ”
"This time, the children of the family in Xincheng have responded to Lan Bowen to send troops, and the Jingshan Department has sent 2,800 troops, not to mention thousands. The other party must be full of confidence, and Wei Xincheng's troops are empty, so he can send an elite division to surround the rear and attack Wei Xincheng by surprise. ”
"Once the new city is breached, this stronghold, whether it is the officers and soldiers or the children of the family, will immediately be shaken by the morale of the army, and there will be no fighting spirit!"
Zhang Wuwu's strategy was clever, the other party must not have expected that the rebel army would attack their rear city, their family members and relatives were all in Weixincheng, knowing that after being occupied by the rebel army, they would no longer have the will to fight.
"General Zhang's plan is clever, but unfortunately our side has no time to break through the stronghold to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers." Yang Qi looked at Zhang Wuwu with a little regret.
At this time, Zhang Wuwu seemed to have a comprehension, and said: "Could it be that the handsome has a way to quickly break through this level." ”
Yang Qi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and everyone around him was shocked, but they heard Yang Qi say: "After General Zhang goes down, let's see how I can break through this pass?" ”
Zhang Wuwu listened, stared at Yang Qiliang silently for a long time, and only said a word "good" for a long time.
When Yang Qi saw him respond, he immediately said: "The army is arrayed and has entered the final preparations!" ”
Then he commanded, "Send someone to shout." ”
"No!" The left and right guards responded.
The drums sounded continuously, and the black-pressed soldiers continued to move closer, slowly converging in front of the checkpoint, solemnly arrayed.
In a moment, several guards rode towards the checkpoint, and when they reached a distance of a hundred paces of the city wall, they stopped.
The guards shouted to the city wall: "Listen, in the name of the great commander, you are the officials of the empire, and you should love the people, but you have done such harmful deeds without regard for human life, you must know and understand, we will eradicate you dog officials, and our righteous army will burn all the jade and stones when they attack the checkpoint!" ”
Listening to the words of this guard, all the soldiers and generals in the city looked at Sima Hai, Sima Hai was furious, and loudly reprimanded: "I am an official of the empire, how dare you rebels openly rebel against the empire?" If you want to surrender, die this heart! We will surely kill you all! Tell you the thief leader Yang Qi, if you have the ability to attack the city, come here, we will be in the whole city, rather than for the broken jade! ”
Sima Hainian is fifty years old, and his voice is still the same as Hong Zhong, spreading far away, and he can hear it clearly in the city and under the city.
The guards were furious when they heard this, snorted coldly, turned around and went back to tell Yang Qi, Yang Qi said coldly: "It's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die, come here, get on the stone throwing machine." ”
At this time, at the front of the barracks, five large stone throwing carts stepped forward.
Li Wu glanced at it, a little strange, and stepped forward: "Dashuai, although the return cannon is powerful, it can't throw this city wall, I'm afraid it will be ineffective against such a stronghold!" ”
Yang Qi said gently: "How could I not know? It's just that I have a way to hurt the heavens and peace, and I don't want to create so many killings, and now there are either officers and soldiers, or children of the family, they will definitely not surrender to the righteous army, he wants to rather be broken than broken, then I will fulfill them now! ”
"Pass my orders, get on the bomb!" Speaking of this, Yang Qi's face was covered with a layer of green gas: "The oil bomb is only a hundred catties, but it can go straight to the stronghold!" ”
The oil bomb is simple to say, it is a large pottery, covered with rattan rope and filled with black oil, Yang Qi has experimented in the game before, a special pottery bomb, can hold fifty catties of oil, it contains a variety of ingredients, although it will not explode, but when it lands, it will break, the oil fire splashes, and burns fiercely.
This method is very inhumane and cruel, black oil splashes on people's bodies, and the whole body is fire, in ancient circumstances, it is almost impossible for the injured to survive, and the wailing makes people feel like they are in hell.
On Earth, such incendiary bombs are internationally prohibited.
Now, if it weren't for the last resort, Yang Qi would not be willing to use it, the reason is simple, this is too lethal, and the enemy is easy to learn.
But at this time, I can't care so much.
I saw the soldier in charge of returning to the car, the creaking cart stepped forward, and fifty oil bombs were carefully unloaded from the ox cart behind, and the oil bombs were loaded onto the return cart launcher with skill.
The distance was calculated, the fuse was lit on the oil bomb, and in the sound of sizzling, the captain who commanded the return of the cannon had a cold face and gave an order: "Listen to my order - release!" ”
With a soft sound, five oil bombs flew out of thin air, three oil bombs hit the head of the city, and two oil bombs smashed on the city wall.
"Listen to me - release!"
At this time, the flames were not big, but when they returned to the gun carriage, they immediately gave another order, and suddenly, another batch of oil bombs fell up, and all of them hit, just a moment, and a large number of flames rose out, in the flames, dozens of people were all on fire, struggling and calling, the scene was terrible, although in fact the casualties were not large, but the deterrent power was more terrifying than more than ten times the death.
"Listen to me - release!"
"Boom!" The third batch of oil bombs fell, and the city was in chaos.
"Boom!" With a bang, an oil bomb exploded on the Xie family's side, flames splashed, and more than a dozen people called out and struggled, their bodies covered with fire.
"Deacon Xie, are you okay?" Far away, this scene can be seen very clearly, and even the brave is famous. Suddenly his face turned pale, he held his fingertips into his palm, and hurriedly pounced.
Some of the deacons were safe and sound, but they were stunned, and their hands could not help shaking.
There were wooden structures in the city, and they burned as they spoke.
"Deacon Xie, what should I do?"
"Retreat!" Xie immediately came to his senses and hissed: "Who dares to intercept, kill!" ”
After receiving the order, Sima Hai was originally prepared and immediately ordered to carry it out, but he had already been ordered to intercept it by the supervising team, and for a while, he was killed.
Yang Qi didn't know about these, he didn't care, he was not in a hurry to break the pass, and continued to order the oil bombs to be fired, arson everywhere, and in less than half an hour, the entire pass was shrouded in skyrocketing fires, which was obviously irretrievable.
Most of the rebel army is arrayed in a mile, where there are enemy troops who struggle to escape from the fire, they will be shot with random arrows, in a mile and a half, the Chinese army, Yang Qi looked up, the fire in the city is like in front of him, the heat is constantly rushing in, and the blazing tongue of fire is felt within a mile.
At this time, inside the checkpoint, thick smoke went up, hidden flames, within a radius of several miles, covered with thick fireworks, although it was noon, the spring was brilliant, under the cover of black smoke, it was dim.
The flames burned, the pavilions collapsed, the wounded screamed, the explosions from time to time, and if you look closely, you can see countless figures struggling in the flames, and the whole scene is almost like the Shura field.
Many rebel soldiers couldn't bear to look at it, so they hurriedly lowered their heads.
After moving slightly, Yang Qi saw that the oil projectile was exhausted, looked at Jiang Feng, and said: "This fire will burn for at least a day and a night, fortunately it is spring, and the trees are watery, so it should not turn into a forest fire, and the whole army is ordered to camp and wait for the flames to burn out, and then it is not too late to march!" ”
Jiang Feng bowed down and replied, "No! ”
