Chapter 654: Self-righteousness

The carts carrying food and buckets were sent into the rebel camp, and they were killed for most of the day, and they all sat down, began to eat and drink, and thanked the imperial army guarding them on the periphery.

What kind of routine is this, is Lord Yama trying to influence them?

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from inside the rebels: "Not good! Underneath the bucket is fire oil!"

"There's a fire oil drum underneath the food, too!"

I followed the sound and looked over, only to see the rebels over there, kicking the "bucket" on the car, about one-fifth of it, and the water that flowed out of it, but there was a layer of partition in the middle of the upper position, and the pale yellow oil flowing out of the bucket under the partition, I have seen this kind of oil, it is kerosene in the underworld!

Another rebel overturned a wooden lunch box, and underneath the box, too, was a large amount of kerosene!

Don't!

Sou! Sou! Sou!

For a time, the arrows were like locusts, shooting from a hidden place about 100 meters outside the Caochang Gorge to the Caochang Gorge, all of which were rockets with incendiary materials!

The rebels just laid down their arms, but for their own safety, they did not remove their armor, and the rockets did not kill people, but they ignited the kerosene cans on the water wheel and the rice cart, and in an instant, the fire of fire and explosion filled the entire grassland gorge, and the fire of kerosene ignited the sorbid trees in the depression, so that the entire grassland gorge fell into a sea of fire, and there was not even a gap!

The flames burned more than ten meters high, and even I stood on the city wall, feeling that my face was roasted, not to mention that the rebels wearing the armor inside had lost most of them in less than half a minute, and the rebels on the periphery wanted to rush out, but they were all strangled by the imperial army, or pushed back into the sea of fire with a shield soaked in water.

Five minutes later, the fire continued, but the "battle" seemed to be over, and I could hear no wailing, only the crackling sound of the fire and the indescribable smell in the air.

At the same time, a sentry shouted from outside the city, "The enemy reinforcements have reached the mountain pass, quickly close the gates of the city!"

I turned on the phase qi technique and looked over, no, I could see with the naked eye that the mountain pass on the north side, that is, where I met Li Yuanhao before, there was a group of cavalry, but the phase qi technique showed that the number of cavalry was not much, maybe it was just the enemy's advance force, and the big cloth team was still behind? .

Zheng Baobao went up to the city gate and looked at me proudly: "Your Majesty's move, isn't it wonderful?"

I sneered, "Wonderful, wonderful, not hesitating to sacrifice a thousand soldiers and hundreds of civilians to lure the rebels and burn them all down, it's just wonderful!"

Zheng Baobao heard that I was talking back, and explained, "That's more than fighting them outside the city and sacrificing more brothers, right?"

"That's true, it would take about 10,000 people to kill them all, but they will die honorably, what about them!" I angrily pointed to the fire, "Brothers who were burned, how do they count! To death, they don't know why they were *** down with the rebels, right?"

"If you have achieved great things, why do you need to solve it in a small way, this is the best solution, isn't it more reasonable to keep 9,000 people to deal with the newly killed rebels?" Zheng Baobao obviously didn't understand my anger very well.

I sighed, forget it, it's come to this, it's useless to say anything, it seems that Hades still doesn't understand two words: military heart.

In a death battle outside the city, even if 10,000 people are sacrificed, the morale of the army will be high, and the rise will be far more than the tens of thousands of court troops in Erqi City, but the tens of millions of court troops in the entire underworld!

But in this way, even if the king of Hades wins the battle at the lowest cost and annihilates the enemy, will the morale of the army really be uplifted? In order to win the battle, I would rather abandon my own people and soldiers, and if I die in vain, it is inevitable that there will be court soldiers muttering in their hearts, and they will doubt the order of the upper peak behind: Will I also be like those colleagues and fellow villagers who were burned to death, and become the outcast?

Abandon the pawn to protect the car, that is chess tactics, soldiers, the most taboo this way of playing, unless it is the pawn who takes the initiative to dedicate himself, otherwise, it will be chilling!
