Chapter 374: Heavenly Dragon Yin
A place in the east city of Hangzhou, a hell on earth.
The blazing temperature spread along the wind, and even in the other three directions, you could feel the scorching breath from afar.
The east wind blew, the flames rolled into the sky, the sky was thick with smoke, and the black ash was like a swimming black cloud, whistling and scraping forward.
Above the West Lake, layers of dust have fallen.
Life is in the world, spring flowers and autumn grass, come like wind and rain, go like dust.
The people of Hangzhou closed their doors, they knew that something big had happened, and they hid in the house, even if they were far away, they could vaguely hear the sound of whirring fires, crackling and burning, and miserable howls.
The merchants and houses on that street in the east city have long since moved away, leaving behind empty houses, not only wood, but also all kinds of things that are easy to burn.
These houses, Zhao Tan promised to double the compensation for them, Fang La set off from Hangzhou that day, and had hit Huzhou and Xiuzhou, and there must have been no less looting of property in these places.
He asked Fang Gu that Fang La did not send things back to Hangzhou, that is, he always carried these belongings with the army, and after the war, they were used as military salaries or rewards, and they were distributed below.
Therefore, this part of the money is in the army of thieves, whether it is sent or not, it is still in the army, and he can intercept this money to compensate the merchants, even if it is only a part, but it is enough.
As for such a big fire attack, there is not so much fire oil, but in addition to fire oil, the most important thing in a big city like Hangzhou is lamp oil, all kinds of vegetable lamp oil and meat lamp oil made by animals and beasts, which can be used as fuel for ignition.
At this moment, the thieves trapped in the huge fire are falling one by one, and it is difficult to discern the direction in the fireworks, and many people are fleeing in all directions in a panic, but they just get into the shops that are already on fire on both sides, and they are burned alive.
None of them are safe, there is fire all around, and there is smoke on the other side without fire, and there is a temperature that can roast people......
Fang La was stunned when the fire around him started, and only then did he understand what General Lu meant by the fierce fire oil, and only then did he know how ridiculous it was that he only had more soldiers than the other party.
War and military affairs are not just about dancing with knives and sticks and fighting with strength, it does not mean that if you are strong in martial arts, you will be able to fight and win battles.
Whether it is Fang La, Wang Laofo, Chen Hoop Bucket and all the generals below, they all have extremely high talents in learning martial arts, almost all of them are proficient in martial arts, ten enemies, hundreds of enemies, and even hundreds of enemies.
But among these people, there are very few who really understand military affairs and can fight, only one General Lu knows the battlefield strategy and the opportunity to fight, but it is a pity that this General Lu has no power to restrain the chicken, and he is a weak scholar.
Fang Laneng looked all the way and seized the city, relying not on the ability to fight, but on the large number of people, the disciples below were not greedy for life and afraid of death, and moved forward bravely, and the Song army of the two Zhejiang provinces had no combat power of their own, and the officials fled from the battle, abandoning the city and running away at home.
But with a little attrition on the battlefield, the army snowballed more and more, the newcomers replaced the old ones, the back waves pushed the front waves, and those who had joined the Church before the first incident had been drowned by the later new army.
Later, although these people also preached some scriptures, they were sloppy, hurriedly went through the motions, and went out to fight.
These people are not so familiar with the teachings of the Ming religion, and it is impossible to make them believe in the Ming Zun and not be afraid of death.
Therefore, the combat power of Fangla's army is actually weakened compared to the beginning.
In the midst of the fire, it can be seen that although some of the old believers are also flustered, they are not afraid in their hearts, and they can't run away, and even sit down cross-legged, chanting the sun or other scriptures, and closing their eyes.
The newcomers screamed and screamed like headless flies, but no matter how they ran, they fell and died in a short time.
Fang La only reacted after the fire started, it's not that he is not smart enough, or that sentence, he has a specialization in the art industry, not only him, but also Wang Lao Buddha didn't think it was fire oil when he smelled the smell.
Fire oil burns the enemy, even if it is said in the three points, it is said that there are a lot of fire attacks in the three points, but it is probably dry firewood and forage, sulfur and fire nitrate, and there is no mention of fierce fire oil, so Fang La did not expect it, and the generals did not think of it, but thought of the taste of tree paint.
What's more, in the city of Hangzhou, there are so many troops, where can you say that fire will attack with fire? Just say it? There is no wood and hay piled up on the road, it will take time to ignite, and these soldiers and horses are not vegetarians, so they can't find it?
But Lu Jiang thought of it, Lu Jiang has always been thoughtful, he has read a lot of books, and there is also the art of war, especially after entering the Ming Sect, what sage doctrine, no longer read, only learn the Ming Sect scriptures and military books.
Later, even when he went down to the city, others were busy looting the gold, silver and jewelry of the big families, and only he went to look through the books, and some secret books and military books that were extremely difficult to buy were obtained from these big families, so he pondered and studied them when he had nothing to do.
Fighting during the day, learning the art of war at night, combining theory with practice, his skills have increased by leaps and bounds, but Fang La is obstinate on going his own way many times and does not listen to him, which makes him quite distressed.
Today, whether he watched Zhao Ta play the piano in front of the city and set up an empty city plan, or when he entered the city and saw no one in the streets and alleys, his heart was full of doubts.
Zhuge Kongming's empty city plan was able to succeed, on the one hand, no one had used it before, and on the other hand, he understood that Sima Zhongda was a very suspicious person.
But in today's world, there are not many people who know the story of the empty city, although the Three Kingdoms Chronicles did not write about it, but since the Ji and Han dynasties, the wild history legends, can not be mentioned, especially this dynasty book is popular in the world, and the story of saying three points is popular, even the people in the market are not uncommon.
But Zhao Ta came out in such a position, he was the prince of Zhao Song, and it was impossible to understand the character of Shenggong Fangla, and Shenggong was not an indecisive and suspicious person.
Isn't it stupid or bad to act like this?
Speaking of stupidity, how does General Lu think that Zhao Ta doesn't look like a stupid person, can a stupid person call all the way to Hangzhou?
That's broken, there are traps, there are ambushes!
However, he had also carefully considered it in his heart before, there were only so many soldiers in Hangzhou City, even if there were ambush traps, what could they do?
Even if half of the men and horses are lost, it is not the opponent of the other party, not to mention that the team is still in the city, so it is strange if he is not turned upside down.
So Lu Jiang couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out, even if the jack gate fell, he was sure that this was Zhao Ta's calculation, but he still couldn't think of what strategy the other party was going to use.
Until Pang Wanchun said that the taste was pungent, he was puzzled in his heart, and he had a headache about it.
But as soon as Pang Wanchun said that the smell was like lacquer, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered that lacquer can burn.
In this case, if the other party wants to ambush and win, there are only two ways, water attack or fire attack.
But the water attack should be unlikely, after all, the water of the West Lake is not enough to flood the city, to divert the water of the Qiantang River, not to mention how huge the project is, even if it can be done, it will flood the entire Hangzhou, regardless of the enemy and me, I will kill myself, so this should be excluded.
If it is a fire attack, several people will smell like lacquer, but it is not so easy for the new lacquer to burn, it will probably have to be dried violently, and there must be substrate wood and other things.
But I didn't find that kind of clue along the way, the road surface was very clean, and I didn't see the lacquered wood dry firewood rack on the side of the road.
At this time, Lu Jiang suddenly remembered a book he had read before, this book was written by Shen Kuo, the envoy of Shenzong Xining, and the title of the book was "Mengxi Pen Talk", which recorded a thing, which was fire oil.
He had never used fire oil, but he had seen merchants from the border areas come to Hangzhou to sell it, saying that it could replace lamp oil, but the merchants' business was not good, and those who had used it said that the smoke was choking and it was extremely unbearable.
At that time, he also smelled it and had some memories of the smell of kerosene.
Pang Wanchun's words reminded him, he thought of lacquer, then he thought of fire attack, thought of fire attack thought of the record of fire oil flammability in "Dream Creek Writings", and thought of the smell he had smelled before, and after recalling it carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked, and even his heart and liver almost jumped out of his arms.
If it's oil, then the army is in danger!
Since this thing can be used as lamp oil, isn't it just a little bit?
He hurriedly reminded Fang La, Fang La was enraged by the sneak attack of the bow and crossbow, and hurriedly transferred troops, only to hear it clearly a few times, but he didn't react to what the smell of fire oil represented.
General Lu was as dead as he was at that time, and then it was just a few breaths, and the fire broke out everywhere, and there was no way out.
Fang La was stunned when the fire ignited, and understood how ridiculous his family was, and then hurriedly looked at General Lu: "Strategist, how is it good?" ”
Seeing that the flames were almost instantaneously enveloping all directions, Lu Jiang only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he was silent.
Seeing him like this, Fang La couldn't help frowning and shouting: "Strategist, can you break through?" ”
General Lu still didn't speak, and Fang La didn't wait for him, and directly ordered the army to rush forward.
You can't retreat, there is a city gate behind you, and then there is no way to retreat, so you can only burn that side.
But after rushing forward not far, he could no longer rush through, the raging fire was not at all something that a human body could pass through casually, not to mention that there was a thick black smoke, and after inhaling it for a few puffs, his head was dizzy and he fell to the ground unconscious.
As a last resort, Fang La had to take people back in, and at this time the army began to be chaotic, this was an army of tens of thousands, and some soldiers ran to both sides without obeying the command, and were either burned to death or choked to death by smoke.
Fang La looked at some veterans sitting on the ground, and began to read in his mouth: "The raging fire, burning my remnants, what joy is life, and why is it bitter to die?" For the sake of good and evil, only light, joy and sorrow, all to dust, mercy to my world, there are many sorrows! ”
He panicked in an instant, and when he saw that people kept falling, he was extremely impatient in his heart, so he had to look at General Lu again.
Because Lu Jiang has no martial arts, he will not hold his breath, and his face is very unsightly at this time, and he is coughing constantly.
Fang La's eyes were already red, and he yelled at General Lu: "The military master taught me!" ”
General Lu looked at him and reluctantly said: "Saint, Holy Father, fight martial arts, go up the city wall, and go...... Walk ......"
Fang La was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but show a look of remorse, he had already heard Lu Jiang's words and tried to find a way to attack the city, I am afraid that this kind of thing would not have happened now, but it was too late to regret it at this moment.
He stretched out his arm, dragged General Lu on his horse, and then shouted to the generals in front of him: "Go to the city with me!" ”
The stairs on both sides of the city gate to the head of the city are blocked by huge stones and other objects from bottom to top, steep and high, almost the same as the city.
In this case, it is impossible to open a passage below, and the weight is at least hundreds of thousands of catties, and you can only move from top to bottom.
Ordinary soldiers can't climb up at all, even if they have some martial arts, they can't go up, only those who are really strong in martial arts, can light up kung fu, and can fly eaves and walk on walls, can give it a try.
And Fang La led the people back to the city gate, but saw that there were dead bodies everywhere here, the temperature was extremely high, even the walls of those boulders had become pitch black, flashing with a little fire, steaming hot, obviously there was something smeared on it before, and it had just burned out.
Fang La wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, his face was burned red, and his eyes were a little blurry.
If it was an ordinary person, running back and forth like this, he would have been smoked to death a long time ago, and this is also relying on a martial arts, holding his breath inside, so he did not fall.
Almost everyone around him is like this, even Wang Lao Buddha is not going anywhere, Fang Baihua is the worst at the moment, his body is shaking, he wants to fall, and the horse under him can't hold on, he suddenly snorts, kneels on the ground, and lies down sideways with a "plop".
Wang Laofo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Fang Baihua to prevent her from falling and hurting herself.
At this time, looking at the city gate hole, Deng Yuanjue stumbled over: "Saint, Holy Father...... If you can't open the jack gate, the gate is hot and hot, and it is ripe. ”
Fang La glanced at him, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Climb the stone wall and go up to the city wall!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a rain of arrows shooting from above the stone wall, and everyone had to grit their teeth to endure the heat, get close to the stone wall, and dodge the arrow attack.
But then the top began to throw things down, what masonry and tiles, civil sand and dust, but because they were close to the front, after the things above were smashed down, they were all some distance from the stone wall, and there were weapons to dial, at most some minor injuries.
"Up, up, up!" Fang La roared angrily, most of them had tiger claws and the like on their bodies, and those who didn't have them pulled out their dagger short swords, pierced into the stone cracks, and climbed up little by little.
At this time, the things thrown above were more dense and frequent, and immediately several generals and sect leaders with weaker martial arts were smashed down, and they were already powerless to barbecue in the fire, and they fell directly to death as soon as they fell.
By the time the stone wall was halfway through, the number of people was less than half of what it was when it first started, and there were only about 20 people left.
Fang La was holding General Lu, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, while Wang Lao Buddha was carrying Fang Baihua on his back, his face was extremely heavy, and the two of them walked in the head.
This stone wall is hot, and the people behind him are getting slower and slower, and the two of them are both able to change the sky, their martial arts are profound, and it is easier to resist attacks from above, so their speed does not decrease.
But at this moment, suddenly a splash of hot water poured down, and the two hurriedly changed their positions with light skills, but the people below did not have such skills, and they screamed continuously, and immediately fell down a few more.
Fang La's face was cloudy, and he didn't look back, just climbed up wholeheartedly, but suddenly something fell above the stone wall, and this time it was lamp oil mixed with fire oil, like rain.
Fang La shouted, withdrew the big behind him, and waved it with his hand to cover it, but he danced impermeably and knocked all the oil away.
The same is true for Wang Lao Buddha over there, but many people in the back are stained with fire oil.
Fang La knew that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly glanced at Wang Laofo: "Wang Gong, be careful of the rocket above!" ”
Wang Lao Buddha is dressed as a monk, although his beard and hair are white, but his figure is tall and not weaker than Fang La, at this time he only heard him say: "Holy Father, let the ministers open the way!" ”
Fang La immediately remained silent, there must be a Song army waiting on the stone wall to block and kill, and the first person to go up will definitely face the thunderous blow, Wang Lao Buddha is to cover his own family to go to the city safely.
At that moment, there was another shower of oil from above, and along with the oil was a puff of rockets, all of which were tied with cloth in front of them, burning with tinder, and shooting downward.
These arrows, some shot at people, and some shot at the stone wall, suddenly there were generals who fell down with arrows, and where there was fire oil lamp oil on the stone wall, a layer of fire instantly appeared, although it was not big, but the temperature suddenly rose, and the people who had been stained with fire oil on their clothes were immediately ignited, screaming and struggling, but at this moment they were hanging in the air, where was there room for fire extinguishing, and they fell to the ground in a few strokes and either fell to death or burned to death.
Fang La kept changing the position of his body on the stone wall, which meant that he relied on the firmament transformation to change his bones and tendons, otherwise even if he was not burned, he would definitely be injured.
Over there, Wang Lao Buddha suddenly sped up his body, he didn't use weapons such as flying grabs, but controlled the two judge's pens with one hand, and the two pens alternated back and forth, just a little in the crack of the stone wall, and he drove his body to leap upward.
At this time, he had already surpassed Fang La, only a zhang or two away from above, and the attacks from above began to greet him, and the pressure on Fang La's side dropped sharply.
Just look at him again, suddenly exhale, let out an earth-shattering roar, this roar is very loud, it is deafening, piercing the clouds and cracking stones, shocking people's hearts.
Fang La heard it clearly, this is Wang Lao Buddha's kung fu at the bottom of the box, called Tianlong Yin, which is as famous as the lion's roar in Zhongzhou Shaomu Mountain, and it is a secret technique that hurts people with sound.
With this roar, the defenders on the stone wall trembled, and their movements were sluggish, and Wang Laofo took advantage of this opportunity to jump up again, and his feet had fallen on the city.
But just as he had just fallen and was not able to stand steadily, suddenly a cold light carried the Sen Sen killing machine, which shot straight from the bottom of the city tower not far away.
This is a crossbow arrow, this arrow is not only fast and outrageous, but also the fire and timing, all of which are just right and impeccable.
At this moment, Wang Lao Buddha is in the old power is exhausted, the new power is not continued, seeing this arrow straight to his chest, he can't help but stand up suddenly, his current strength is weak, and he can't dodge it under normal circumstances, but he will change in the sky in five ways, only to see his body suddenly bend sideways to the side.
This is something that ordinary people can't do at all, even if someone forcibly presses it to the side to lower the side bend, there is only one result, that is, the waist bone is broken, and it is not dead or disabled.
Although Wang Lao Buddha did this action and dodged the crossbow arrow, his body slipped and fell to the ground, opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Although he is a grandmaster, the martial art of the firmament transformation does not look at your realm, only depends on how many ways you practice, he only has five ways of the firmament transformation, and it is still a little reluctant to make this move, not to mention that when the strength is not continued, he was seriously injured immediately.
At this time, the soldiers at the head of the city had already reacted from the shock of Tianlong Yin, but they had been instructed, and they did not step forward, but quickly took out their crossbows and shot towards Wang Lao Buddha.
The power of this crossbow is far greater than that of a bow and arrow, and it is also faster to fire than a bow and arrow, and a few points of light rush towards Wang Lao Buddha.
After Wang Lao Buddha used the remaining strength to fly more than a dozen crossbow arrows on the ground, he could no longer resist other arrows, he used his seriously injured body to protect Fang Baihua behind him, and let those crossbow arrows hit his body, and when his throat rolled, another mouthful of blood spurted out violently.
Fang La had already jumped up from the stone wall at this time, seeing this kind of scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and rushed forward with a shout, his fist was like a heavy mountain, and in a blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen crossbow-wielding soldiers, and rushed to Wang Lao Buddha's body.
"Wang Gong!"
Wang Lao Buddha was on the verge of dying at the moment, and his lips moved: "Holy Father, bring ...... Take the flowers and go! ”
After that, as soon as the eyes were closed, a generation of grandmasters died under the sword soldiers like this.
"Ahhh Fang La couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar at this moment, he waved his big sleeves to fly those arrows, and dragged Fang Baihua out from behind Wang Laofo, only to see that Fang Baihua's face was already pale and unconscious.
Fang La clamped Fang Baihua under his armpit, but saw that countless flying feather crossbow arrows were shooting, but he was far away from the fire, and he was not as seriously injured as Fang Lao Buddha, so he relied on his skillful body to sweep towards the battlements while blocking the arrow feathers.
"Sect Leader Fang, where to go!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, and he saw a sword light from far and near, as fast as lightning to kill him.
"Zhao Ta!" Fang La gritted her teeth, but how dare she fight, her footsteps did not stop, and she slid forward.
But this sword is too fast, so fast that it seems to have locked him, Fang La's body movement is not as fast as the sword light, and as soon as his body reaches the edge of the city, the sword has also arrived!
At this moment, Fang La's heart was shocked, and he found that he couldn't dodge this sword!
Zhao Ta's sword can only be blocked hard, and it can't be dodged at all!
The eleventh sword!
"Ahh Fang La suddenly turned his left hand into a palm and slapped it fiercely towards the sword light.
At this moment, the sword light trembled slightly.
Master? Fang La is a grandmaster? Sure enough, all the time I have been hiding my martial arts!
Zhao Ta's heart jumped, he didn't expect Fang La to be a grandmaster, it was impossible for him to impress this sword if he wasn't a grandmaster!
Unexpectedly, in addition to Fang Qifo of the Ming Sect, Fang La was also a grandmaster!
But what about the Grandmaster? It is impossible for the Grandmaster to resist this eleventh sword with his bare hands!
Just look at Fang La's left arm, which exploded into a cloud of blood mist in an instant, and his entire arm was shattered by the Mo Evil Sword.
But then Fang La's body drilled out of the battlements of the city wall at an incredible angle, like a swimming fish.
The sky becomes the sixth road?!
Zhao Ta's pupils contracted, and this Fang La actually practiced the Sixth Road Firmament Change!
He hurriedly chased over and looked outside the city, only to see Fang La carrying Fang Baihua behind him, lying on his back, so as not to fall, holding the flying grab with his only remaining right hand, and sliding down the city wall, the flying grab rubbed on the city wall and made a harsh sound, bursting out countless sparks, but it also slowed down the speed of his fall.
At this time, the soldiers surrounded him and were about to shoot arrows, Zhao Ta squinted at Fang Baihua on Fang La's back and waved his hand.
Except for one right arm, Fang La's entire body was hidden under Fang Baihua's body, even if he shot an arrow, he would not be able to shoot him at all, but would directly shoot Fang Baihua to death.
Fang La has already used her sister-in-law as a shield at this moment!
Zhao Ta's face was a little dark, he snorted coldly and turned around, and at this moment, two more people climbed up outside the stone wall over there, and he said coldly: "Shoot them all, leave no one alive!" (End of chapter)
