Chapter 89: Adding fuel to the fire
"Do it."
After Li Xiang's words were finished, the twenty archers behind him raised their bows and arrows in their hands, and the arrows were already lit with fire, all around, when Li Xiang gave the order to shoot arrows, the guards around Li Xiang also put their hands down, with this kind of telepathy, as long as they were within a certain distance, their attacks could be synchronized, which no one else could complete.
Suddenly, there was a fire around the Tuyuhun Hall, and countless rockets were fired at the Tuyuhun Hall, most of the buildings in this era were wooden, so they basically ignited when they caught fire.
"It's water, it's water......"
Someone inside discovered the fire for the first time, many people ran out of the house, Li Xiang's face did not change, and he continued to order his men to release arrows, now that the door has been blocked, we only need to throw arrows inside, plus the raging fire, the chance of survival of you people is not more than 30%.
Two Hu men rushed to the gate, and they were about to get out of it, when two arrows had already been shot, one of them was shot in the throat and died, and the other shot one in the shoulder, and the man dragged his badly wounded body backwards.
"We can't get out, we're already surrounded, who the hell is this?"
"Hurry up and report to the official, we have been attacked by thieves here."
The people inside didn't know what was going on, but they understood one thing, that is, there was no way to rush out from here, there were neat soldiers outside the gate, as long as someone showed their faces at the door, there would be bows and arrows shooting at them immediately, and there was no way to get out at all.
"Don't panic, gather your men immediately, and all those who are not injured will follow my orders and concentrate in the middle compound."
Zaterk was grounded by the emperor's order, but he was still able to send people out to do errands, and he also knew what was going on today, it must be that guy Li Xiang who came to take revenge, and he had suffered enough that day outside the yamen of the military department.
originally thought that the master under his command could take Li Xiang's life in the case of a sneak attack, but he didn't expect that the kid's men were so powerful, although Zaterk had already let the master withdraw overnight, but since the other party dared to come, he must have found evidence.
"Leave those people alone, all evacuate to the central compound."
Zaterk's order was quickly conveyed, and many people crawled out of the house with wounds, but the soldiers around them didn't even look at them, in their opinion, such people had lost their combat effectiveness, and it was useless to continue to bandage their wounds, it was better to follow the orders of His Royal Highness the prince and retreat, at least we could save our own lives.
Another is that everyone belongs to different tribes, you and I have nothing to do with it, it's just that they are all from Tuyuhun, there is no need to lose your life because of you, Tuyuhun's dynasty is equivalent to a loose alliance, including one hundred and sixty tents under Tuyuhun, not to mention cooperation between them, the struggle is very fierce.
"Your Highness, there is no one on the periphery, do you want to rush in?"
Cheng Chuliang rubbed his hands and said, at this moment he also wants to try the power of this treasure knife, it is said that when he slashes against others, he can cut other people's knives and can also cut others, which can be regarded as coming in handy today.
"Don't worry, we don't need to go in at this time, they still retain a certain amount of combat effectiveness, we just need to watch from the side, the fire inside will entertain them well, aren't these people willing to retreat to the middle? Then let's add a fire to them and keep firing arrows. ”
Although some brothers are not Li Xiang's descendants, but people have come to help you, everyone is a brother at the moment, if you let everyone risk their lives, it would be a bit too much.
"Your Highness, why don't we go in and have a good time?"
Cheng Chuliang said with some doubts, he was still able to believe Li Xiang's command before, but now the other party has obviously suffered heavy losses, if we go in at this time, then we can complete this matter in a short time, there is no need to stand at the door.
"Second Brother Cheng, do you think we're in a hurry? For such a long time, no yamen in Chang'an City sent people over, which means that they already knew about it, why should we let our people go in to fight, as long as the people below are injured or injured, then this is a family, we now have the safest way, of course, we must pursue zero casualties. ”
Li Xiang's words are very reasonable, but for Cheng Chuliang, he doesn't understand what zero casualties are.
Li Xiang spent a long time trying to make this guy understand what zero casualties are, and the situation at the scene was just as Li Xiang thought, the fire began to slowly move closer to the middle, even if they all retreated to the innermost courtyard, but because there were too many trees in the yard, there was already a fire in the middle at the moment, and from Li Xiang's position, it seemed that the sky in the middle was burned red.
"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, and if you attach so much importance to the lives of soldiers, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future."
Cheng Chuliang said something from the bottom of his heart, in this era of cold weapons, no matter how good you are at fighting, you have to face huge casualties on the battlefield, Li Xiang suddenly threw out this theory, Cheng Chuliang really admired it.
When we were in the northern expedition to the Turks, although we won the final victory, we brought back one corpse after another from Saibei, and the situation of Chang'an City full of white yarn that day, Cheng Chuliang still remembers.
His Royal Highness can think so much about the life and death of ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be good in the future.
Just when everyone was watching the excitement, the sound of war horses came from a distance, and everyone thought that it was a yamen who sent someone to come, but after a closer look, they found that it was some eunuchs from the East Palace.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Xiang said with some confusion, even if you want to come, it should be the East Palace Garrison, what can you people do when you come?
"Back to His Royal Highness, the crown prince has brought us some good things."
The little eunuch said happily, there were several carriages coming in the distance, and there was a strange smell in the air, many people didn't understand it at first, but they soon knew what it was, and it was all lamp oil.
It turns out that Dad had already expected that we would attack with fire.
"Still stunned for what to do, pouring oil into it."
Li Xiang gave an order, and his subordinates picked up the wooden barrel on the car, filled it with half a barrel of lamp oil, and then began to rotate on the spot, and when it reached a certain speed, even the barrel with oil was thrown in, so that you could warm up.
