Volume 3 Jianghu Road, People's Hearts Are Dangerous Chapter 225 Burning the Village with Flames, Overcoming Fire with Fire
On the dirt slope, Zhang Wei, the garrison of Yanzhou, who had regained his composure, glanced at Tang Xi, who was never blind, and then turned his gaze to the distance below, and the killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Command, launch rockets, attack with fire!"
As the main general gave this order again, torches were waved on the slope, and some heralds quickly ran down the slope and loudly gave the attack order to the soldiers surrounding Liaojia Village on all sides.
If these soldiers were only acting on orders before, then at this moment, if they launched an attack on the Tang Sect people in the village, it would be mixed with their own hatred and revenge.
The Tang Sect's surprise killing just now can hurt them a lot, and many robes are killed and injured because of this, and their blood is still left on the bodies and faces of these soldiers.
For many years, there has always been friendship and friendship, and some people are even fathers and sons.
When relatives and friends died at the hands of these thieves, the soldiers naturally wanted revenge, and fire attack was obviously the most effective means to ensure their own safety.
As a result, the torches that had been scattered and scattered due to the elite assault of the Tang Sect gathered again.
One by one, the arrows that had been prepared for a long time were wrapped in strips of fire-burning cloth, and the arrows dipped in fire oil were ignited one after another.
With the crisp sound of bangs and the continuous shouts of many officers, hundreds of rockets burst out of the string, cut a clear arc in the air, and swooped straight towards the village in front.
This batch of rockets took off, it was really as spectacular and dazzling as a meteor shower, and in the process of flying, the entire sky above Liaojia Village was reflected in a fiery red.
Looking at it from a distance, it is only beautiful and enchanting.
But really being under it, that despair has also come to a climax.
The people of the Tang Sect had just suffered heavy losses and retreated in embarrassment. Before he could even breathe and communicate a proper self-protection strategy, hundreds of rockets suddenly came out in a burst of fire.
Although they reacted quickly enough to quickly take refuge in the house next to them, they could only avoid being injured by arrows, and the biggest threat was that they could not avoid it anyway.
You must know that this Liaojia Village is not a rich village, not to mention that the houses are short and simple, and most of them are built of bamboo and wood.
Usually, you can make do with the wind and rain, but you are the only one who is most afraid of being burned. It is often a little fire, and if it can't be extinguished in time, it will burn into a piece.
And now, how can it be as simple as one or two ignitions? Hundreds of rockets fell on all sides at once, igniting the stacks of wood next to the house, the doors made of wood, and the half-new fences......
Then it spreads out, surrounding all the houses, and the flames are swallowing and burning directly through the doors and windows, and then all the other objects in the house that can be burned are also ignited.
Fire and water are ruthless, it will not judge where it is valuable, where there are innocent people hiding in it, it is just a vigorous spread and burning.
Those elites of the Tang Sect who hid in the house to try to protect themselves were completely besieged by the flames at this time, watching the fire get closer and closer, until they wanted to burn their entire capital and everything in the house.
At this time, they had nowhere to escape, but in despair, screaming and rushing towards the doors and windows of the flames and smoke, in a vain attempt to jump out of the house and escape from the fire.
But after rushing out of the house at the cost of the agony of being burned by the flames, scorching their flesh and hair, they were confronted with an even more intense fire that cut off almost all avenues of escape.
Since the officers and soldiers were determined to set fire to the enemy, it was naturally impossible for them to stop just by releasing this burst of rockets.
After the first round of rockets completely burned down Liaojia Village, there were several more rounds of follow-up, and two or three thousand rockets were fired into the village, thus making the fire completely uncontrollable.
Not only was the entire village covered by fire, but there were also fire lines outside the village, and if some of the soldiers had not done a good job of protecting themselves, perhaps this artificially lit fire would have caused a lot of trouble to the officers and soldiers surrounding the area.
It wasn't until they had fired all the thousands of rockets they had brought with them that the indiscriminate firing that set fire to the enemy finally stopped.
But the men and horses surrounded on all sides did not withdraw, but continued to wait there, and the crossbowmen kept an eye on all directions of the village in case the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to escape.
As it turned out, their precautions were necessary.
Just when the fire engulfed the entire village, countless Tang Sect elites screamed and fell into the fire, and there was only one way to die, there were still people who relied on their own strength and considerable luck to find a way out of the fire, and then ran out desperately.
However, even though he had the opportunity to escape from the fire, he still couldn't escape the interception and blow of the besieged officers and soldiers.
Under the reflection of the fire, the fleeing figures of these people were so clearly visible, and many crossbowmen shot all these guys who tried to escape with a burst of arrows.
Even if there were immortals, they would be engulfed in the flames that swept around them, and finally turned into charred ashes in a miserable howl.
In the distance, when the people of the Yan family, who had taken back the zombies they had just fought, looked at this slaughter scene, their faces became a little pale, and their eyes were full of horror.
Although his family and the Tang Sect have become undying enemies, when they look at these elites of the Tang Gate South Fire Hall at close range, they still inevitably feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad.
After all, in the final analysis, no matter how big their family is, they still regard themselves as Jianghu people.
"Sun Gongzi, isn't this too ruthless?" After Yan Yinghao hesitated for a moment, he couldn't help but glance at Sun Ning beside him and asked.
It can be said that this offensive against the Tangmen of Liaojia Village was completely led by Sun Ning.
It was with his advice that the Yanzhou garrison made up its mind to attack the village, and prepared so many rockets.
Sun Ning's gaze continued to stare at the raging fire in front of him, and his eyes seemed to be burning.
However, his tone was rather calm: "Since they have chosen to embark on this path, they should be prepared for this outcome." What's more, the Tang Sect is a fierce beast and a tiger, and it is impossible to defeat them without ruthless tricks. ”
As he spoke, he looked back and looked at Yan Yinghao deeply: "Yan Shibo, Fang has entered the troubled world today, if you Yanjiabao want to gain a foothold here, you have to change the original concept and be ready to truly compete with the enemy for hegemony!" ”
Yan Yinghao was silent, he just took a deep breath, and when he looked at Sun Ning again, the meaning in his eyes became even more complicated: "This person, he is by no means as simple as he said before, just an ordinary Jianghu person...... Sun Changan, I have never heard of such a powerful person of the younger generation in the Central Plains before......"
