Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Finally, a soldier with a torch was squeezed to the ground by the crowd, and the moment the torch fell to the ground, the fire in the sky was instantly ignited, dozens of people were surrounded by a sea of fire, and a terrible scream came from the fire, and one by one the soldiers who were on fire rushed out, scurrying around like headless flies, leading the fire everywhere. But in an instant, these innocent arsonists were killed.

The fire was out of control, and the houses in the city were basically made of wood, and with the help of tung oil, it was impossible to extinguish it. In less than a moment, the entire 500-meter area south of the city near the river bank was plunged into a sea of fire, and the fire was spreading in the north of the city.

Bu has waited for a strong military general to run over from the roof, and has already rushed to the north of the city, looking at the tens of thousands of yellow turban elites rushing out of the fire around him, Bu has been dripping blood, at this moment he hates very much, hates himself, and hates the mysterious imperial army.

The fire in the south of the city reflected the sky of the entire Puyang County red, and from time to time houses collapsed, and occasionally one or two soldiers rushed out of the fire.

"Qu Shuai, what should we do now? Do you want to extinguish the fire? Tang Long said with a bitter face.

Bu had a blue face and said, "Don't use it for the time being, you can't save the people in the fire if you put out the fire now." First of all, the houses outside the fire should be demolished, and the gaps should be leaked, so as not to let the fire burn down the county. ”

Tang Long immediately explained Bu Ji's order to the herald beside him, after all, it was not his turn to do such a thing as demolishing the house. After giving the order, Tang Long asked, "Qu Shuai, how did you say these people threw the clay pot into the city?" Even if it's standing on the boat and throwing it. At most, it's only a few tens of meters, so it's impossible to still be a few hundred meters away, right? ”

Bu was also puzzled, and said: "These clay pots must have been thrown from the Yellow River, first, the defenders on the three walls of the city have never seen anyone approaching the city wall, and second, according to the position where the clay pots fell, we can infer the location of the enemy throwing." It's just that I can't figure out how these people threw the clay pot so far, is it...... Catapult ......"

Speaking of which. Bu had already looked at Tang Long, both of them could see the horror in each other's eyes, and Tang Long swallowed his saliva. Said: "Could it be...... This army already has ...... Floor ship? Or a more advanced warship than a building ship! ”

Bu had already shook his head, thinking that this terrible thought had swept away from his heart, and the building boat itself might not be terrible. What is scary is its powerful ability to transport troops. If the opponent has enough building ships, with the water conditions in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, the army with building ships will be able to drop a large number of infantry and cavalry anywhere in a short period of time. Bu had never seen a building ship, even a four-masted sailing ship had only seen it from afar, but the huge hull and extremely fast speed made Bu already shocked.

It is said that in the past, the Han Dynasty was able to manufacture building boats in the south of the Yangtze River, but now the imperial court is **, the officials are mediocre, and there is a shortage of directors, and no one can make building boats. This ship is more advanced than a four-masted galleon. Then the hull must be much larger, and the sailing speed will be much faster than that of a four-masted galleon.

Bu had thought for a long time before he said: "I estimate that even if the other party owns the building boat, the number will not be too much, you look at the sparsely fallen clay pots." It's not like a fleet with a lot of ships. ”

Tang Long nodded and said, "Qu Shuai, the morale of the army in the city is low now, if this damn imperial army chooses to attack the city now!" I'm afraid we'll be hard to resist. ”

Bu has said: "If you had a way to enter the city without attacking the city wall, would you choose to attack the city wall?" ”

"Of course not. …… But now such an opportunity is very rare for the other party. Will they give up such a great good form shì to wait for the fire to go out? Tang Long said, "But even if the other party waits until the fire is extinguished and then attacks the city from the southern port, with the remaining 300,000 or so demoralized soldiers we have now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold this Puyang County City!" Qu Shuai, let's plan as soon as possible! ”

Bu Ji frowned, was silent for a long time, and then said: "At this time, when will the troops from Neihuang and Liyang counties be transferred to Puyang?" ”

Tang Long said: "It will take about two or three days, does Qu Shuai want to stick to Puyang County?" ”

Bu said helplessly: "If Puyang is occupied, the two counties of Neihuang and Liyang will be divided, even if we can flee to any county, with the current strength, if we can't help each other, we will also be unable to hold the city after the arrival of the imperial army." It is better to send reinforcements to defend Puyang County. After all, it will take more than a day to wait until the fire is extinguished, and during this time we will step up our arrangements, and it will not be difficult to delay for two days in street fighting, as long as we wait for the army of the two counties to arrive, we can besiege and kill them in the county seat. ”

Tang Long also immediately understood, so he immediately wrote to Neihuang and Liyang counties, asking them to quickly send troops to reinforce Puyang County. Then he ordered generals at all levels to arrange the battlefield and strive to drag the enemy as much as possible.

……

Yang Tianjian was already standing at the bow of the ship from the moment the fire was ignited, and several huge ships were already leaning on the shore of the harbor at this time. Thousands of elite soldiers stood on the harbor to prevent the Yellow Turbans from rushing to their ships from the city.

After seeing that half of the city was in flames, the big bull standing beside him said, "Lord, is it too cruel to do this?" There are quite a few people in it. ”

Yang Tian sighed and said: "The war does not allow mercy, if we do not attack the city in this way, the number of dead and wounded will be a terrifying number, I can exchange the lives of these strangers for the chance of survival of the brothers, even if I am cruel, I will not hesitate." Remember, kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself. ”

After hearing this, Da Niu bowed and said, "Thank you Lord Gong for making it clear that his subordinates have been taught!" His subordinates should keep in mind the teachings of the Lord today. After finishing speaking, the expression on Da Niu's face was much more resolute.

Seeing that the fire had started, Yang Tian also ordered the catapult to stop the projectile, and then rode Xiaobai to the air to observe the results. Although it was still the middle of the night, the fire in the south of the city illuminated the entire city red, and it did not affect Yang Tian's observation from the air. And this has another advantage, that is, the other party looks up from below, and he can't find Yang Tian's storage at all. Except that the smoke in the air was too unbearable, Yang Tian was simply too satisfied with this reconnaissance environment.

Seeing the dense Yellow Turban Army crowded in the north of the city, Yang Tian couldn't wait to set fire to this half of the city again, but Yang Tian could only fly in the air now, Xiaobai, a guardian spirit beast, and this idea was only to think about it.

Speaking of which, I am really wronged Xiaobai, since I became the guardian spirit beast of Baiyun City, I have really spent too little time in Baiyun City, and I am not responsible for the duty of guardian spirit beast! However, fortunately, at this moment, Baiyun City has not yet cultivated mount creatures, although Baiyun City now has two mounts, the Iron Armored Rhino and the Wildebeest, but neither of them can be regarded as cultivated by Baiyun City. Therefore, whether Xiaobai stays in Baiyun City or not does not have a big impact.

Yang Tian roughly estimated that there were about three or four hundred thousand Yellow Turban Army left in the entire Puyang County City, which means that the Yellow Turban Army buried in the fire was about 400,000.

A fire can burn the opponent's 400,000 troops, and most of the Yellow Turban elites are also included in it, to be honest, Yang Tian is very satisfied with this result.

If it weren't for the previous strategy, which attracted the other party to deploy heavy troops in the south of the city, there would not be this achievement. And after this battle, Yang Tian was promoted by two levels, and these two levels actually increased his intelligence by nearly six points, which can be described as an unexpected surprise, Yang Tian is looking forward to the added points of the system's updated attributes at the moment.

At the same time, Yang Tian also found that the rest of the other party's soldiers were constantly busy in the streets and alleys north of the city, probably arranging something. Now he regrets that he sent Li Chengyu to Jiaozhou to get the soul, otherwise he wouldn't want to be like a headless fly now, and he doesn't know how the other party deployed.

Just as Yang Tian was hiding in the thick smoke hundreds of meters above to observe the movement below, he saw two pigeons rushing up from below, Yang Tian's heart moved, and he ordered Xiaobai to pounce on one of them instantly.

The speed of the carrier pigeon is very fast, originally Yang Tian ordered Xiaobai to rush over is just a luck, how do you know that this carrier pigeon is really just a primary carrier pigeon, the speed is slightly worse than Xiaobai, but because the carrier pigeon is more flexible, it still took Yang Tian's strength to catch one.

Yang Tian took a small bamboo tube from his lap and found a letterhead inside, and after reading it, the corners of Yang Tian's mouth couldn't help but smile.

After returning to the battleship, Yang Tian immediately set sail for the fleet, leaving Puyang County and heading west......

……

Bu had been a little restless for the past two days, and the fire in the south of the city had been completely extinguished the next day, but the siege they expected did not come as scheduled. It was as if the enemy army hiding on the river had ignored them.

Bu no longer knows what the other party is fighting the hell idea, but now he hopes that the other party can fight him openly, even if he is defeated and killed, it will be better than the current situation.

From the beginning to the end, the other party has not competed with it once with a dignified and upright teacher, and it is all the sword that has gone off the rails, and the losses have been exhausted, so that his Yellow Turban army has suffered heavy losses, so Bu has already felt aggrieved! Now that the other party is hiding in the shadows again, maybe when he appears again, he will give himself a huge surprise. There may be surprise, but it is difficult to say whether you can be happy after being shocked.

Just now, Bu had already sent people out of the city to try their luck in the river to see if the other party's fleet was alive. As for the ruins in the south of the city, Bu had no intention of letting people clean them up for the time being, until the unknown threat was eliminated, this was a natural barrier, and he had no hobby of digging his own grave.

More than two hours later, the people who sent it out returned, and the news they brought back was no longer good or sad. There was not even a sampan within a radius of several kilometers on the river, and farther away, the Yellow Turbans, who had no boats but could only swim, could not be scouted.

Bu couldn't think of a better way, so he had to order his soldiers to take strict precautions, and then stayed in the city lord's mansion and waited anxiously. (To be continued)
