Chapter 278: Fire Attack
After the rebels joined the dead rebels' clothes into a large piece of cloth under the command of Nan Ye, Nan Ye began to have the fabric of the clothes torn apart.
Accompanied
The "tearing" sound of cotton wool under the fabric leaked out at once. After seeing that the rebels did not attack but tossed the clothes of the dead rebels, Zhang Shuliang couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he felt that Nan Yi would definitely cause a lot of trouble to his side if he made this thing.
But so far, he doesn't know what Nan Ye is doing, so he can't take defensive measures accordingly.
"Now immediately put this cloth on top of the Huainan Army's head." Nan can also command his rebel forces.
"But Nan Shuai, how are we going to put this cloth on the heads of the rebels?" Looking at the cloth that added up to several feet, the rebels under his command began to make trouble.
"Now, immediately find ropes to tie the four corners of the cloth, and then let people go up to the roofs on both sides of Xuanwu Avenue and cover them from above!" Nan Yi observed for a moment, then pointed to the roof next to him and said.
Because this Xuanwu Avenue leads directly to the Xuanwu Gate, the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, and the houses are also very densely arranged, and it is completely feasible for people to run on the roof.
"Good!" Although the rebels did not understand what Nan Ye was going to do, they still chose to carry out Nan Yike's orders immediately.
The swift men of the rebels immediately climbed onto the roof and hung the rope from the roof.
Soon the rebels below tied the ropes to the four corners of the cloth. Then the rebels on the roof began to run in the direction of the Huainan Army, and the huge cloth also quickly headed towards the top of the Huainan Army.
And the Huainan army, who stayed in place and waited, looked at the cloth covering their heads, and they didn't know why.
"Don't the rebels think they can trap us with these rags?" Zhang Shuliang's lieutenant couldn't help but laugh shamefully when he saw the rebels' actions.
"Don't take it lightly, Nan Yi is not an ordinary water bandit rebel after all!" Zhang Shuliang saw that his lieutenant despised Nan Ye so much, so he immediately reminded.
"General, even if these rags do cover our heads, brothers can smash them with a single slash of their long swords." The lieutenant still disagreed.
But at this moment of conversation between the two, the cloth pulled by the rebels had already crossed the ranks of the rebels and came to the top of the Huainan army.
At this moment, Zhang Shuliang saw that Nan Ye, who was not far away, was shooting at his side with a longbow, and at the same time, more than a dozen rebels around him also opened their bows and aimed at his side.
"Oh no, they're going to attack with fire!" Zhang Shuliang had already clearly seen that Nan Yi and the rebels' arrows were full of flames.
But by this time, he had already reacted a little bit. In the next second, the rocket flew onto the giant cloth above them.
As soon as the burning arrows touched the cotton wool on the cloth, it quickly caught fire, and because the cotton wool was so flammable and the firing positions of the dozen or so rebels were relatively scattered, the flames spread much faster than Zhang Shuliang expected.
So when Zhang Shuliang ordered to retreat immediately, the burning cloth had already covered more than 20 rows of Huainan Army soldiers.
"Quickly use your sword to smash the huge cloth above your head!" Zhang Shuliang commanded loudly while directing the retreat of the Huainan Army.
And those Huainan soldiers who only knew that they could not retreat could only raise their long swords and try their best to smash the huge cloth above their heads.
But while the sword could easily shatter the cloth, even the scattered cloth carried a raging flame.
The high temperature made the Huainan soldiers under the cloth miserable, and even some burning rags fell directly on their faces and bodies, and soon their clothes were also set on fire.
All of a sudden, the cries of more than a dozen rows of Huainan Army soldiers at the front were endless. Seeing his subordinates screaming incessantly in the sea of fire, Zhang Shuliang's heart was like a knife at this time.
But there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only grit his teeth and look at Nan Ye with blood-red eyes.
"The fire is already small, and this is a good opportunity for us to charge!" Looking at Huainan Junnan, who was constantly struggling in the flames, he also had a strange pleasure.
"Everyone, rush me! Kill Mu Qingyun and we'll be done! Some of the rebels shouted and rushed towards the Huainan army.
Seeing that the rebels who had been suppressed by their own side had become fierce again, Zhang Shuliang snorted coldly.
"Brothers, kill me to avenge the brothers who died just now!" Zhang Shuliang also drew his long sword at this time, and then took the lead to meet the rebels.
The Huainan army behind him couldn't help but be furious when they saw that their commanders had gone into battle in person, but just now they saw hundreds of their comrades burned alive by the rebels' fire attack.
At this time, there was only one thought in their minds, and that was to kill these beasts in front of them and avenge the shame of their comrades.
"The morale of the Huainan Army is in turmoil, and it seems that this Shuliang is just a second-rate product!" Nan Yi shook his head disdainfully and said.
"Nan Shuai, I don't feel like the situation is right!" Just as Nan Yi looked at Zhang Shuliang who was leading the charge with disdain, a gentleman beside him reminded in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Just now, Nan Yi focused all his attention on the direction of the Huainan Army, so he didn't know much about the surrounding situation.
"Nan Shuai, we could still hear the sound of fighting in every alley just now, but now there is no sound in the alleys closest to us!" The gentleman pointed to a few alleys not far away.
"Could it be that the people in the ambush in the alley have been solved by the Huainan army?" Nan Yi also frowned at this time.
"Nan Shuai is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, although the situation in those alleys is unknown now, but we still have to keep a hand!" The gentleman continued.
"What you say makes sense, but now the opportunity is rare, we finally disrupted the formation of the Huainan Army, if we don't seize the opportunity to charge this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity to attack." Nan Yi was thinking about these rebels led by himself at this moment, and he directly killed Mu Qingyun, the prince of Huainan.
As long as Mu Qingyun is killed, then the Huainan Army and even the entire Huainan Kingdom will lose their backbone. At that time, even if these Huainan troops are brave, they will just be a group of local chickens and dogs, as long as Bao Wenqin comes out and raises his arms, most of these Huainan troops will become their subordinates in a daze.
So now, even if the rebels are likely to be ambushed by the Huainan army, he must give it a go.
Although he felt a little sorry that these rebels who had been trained by himself died on the battlefield, he still had a clear understanding of the pros and cons of being a commander.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that righteousness does not do Jia, and compassion does not command the army, so in Nan can also watch the soldiers on the battlefield as just tools used by themselves to achieve victory, even if all these tools are damaged, but as long as they can complete the set task, then he will not hesitate to sacrifice all the rebel soldiers.
"Don't worry about these alleys, order them to go all out to take down Mu Qingyun's head as quickly as possible." After making up his mind, Nan Ye immediately ordered the people around him with a solemn face.
After receiving Nan Yike's order, the rebels around him rushed to the front. At this time, the city was also in full swing as the Xuanwu Avenue.
Although the number of people on the Huainan King's side was not as large as that of the rebels, the guards on their side were better than the other.
On the other hand, on the rebel side, although the soldiers under Pan He were also very powerful, they could have fought with the guards of King Huainan.
However, more than half of these rebel guards were natives of Huainan. Therefore, when they saw that the king of Huainan was not dead, they had a sense of jealousy in their hearts.
It is also strange to say that these people are carefully selected by Pan He, and each of them has no children, no daughters, no fathers, no mothers, no relatives and friends.
It stands to reason that the king of Huainan should have no means to threaten these rebels. But these rebel guards were terrified the first time they saw the King of Huainan.
This fear is an instinct, an instinct to fear and surrender to those who are superior. And another reason for the rebel guards to retreat is that Pan He's side is no longer as monolithic as before.
After their identities were revealed by Bao Wenqin and King Huainan, the seeds of distrust were quickly planted between them.
And the seed has taken root and sprouted quickly. Looking at the distance between several people, intentionally or unintentionally, Bao Wenqin and King Huainan, who were the initiators, all showed confident smiles.
"Although we belong to different forces, our current goal is the same, and we all want to destroy the Huainan Kingdom!" Seeing that the guards on his side were resisting, they were becoming more and more powerless, and as a Confucian team, Yao Junheng finally couldn't bear it.
"Yes! Everyone's goal is to overthrow the rule of the King of Huainan, so we can completely let go of our hostility now, and we must join forces now to have a chance of escaping from the hands of the King of Huainan. Mei Buyu couldn't help frowning after hearing Yao Junheng's proposal.
In his opinion, the eunuch power he represented was also in a hostile relationship with the Confucian power for thousands of years.
He had never heard of the eunuch forces being able to mix with the Confucian forces. But now he has to cooperate with Yao Junheng and Pan He.
"Pan He, what do you think?" Seeing that Pan He didn't speak, the two turned around and asked Pan He!
At this time, although Pan He also felt that it was a little ridiculous at this time, he was already on his side now.
If they don't think about it, they will really become the ghosts of the Huainan King's sword.
"Okay, let's join forces and kill first!" Pan He gritted his teeth and decided on a method of tripartite cooperation.
"Fei Du, what the hell do you think?" In fact, it is said that among Pan He's group, Fei Du is the most powerful in martial arts.
His martial arts are stronger than those of the rebel guards. But because he was injured in the battle with Ansu just now, and because Bao Wenqin, who he had always regarded as a forbidden man, actually colluded with the King of Huainan to prepare to wipe them out, this kind of physical and mental double blow made his whole person completely collapse.
So until now, Fei Du is still in a state of confusion. Even when the rebel guards and the guards of the King of Huainan fought together, he didn't have the slightest reaction.
So at this time, he was still immersed in his own world, and his brain was still in chaos because he couldn't accept reality.
However, Yao Junheng's inquiry just now made Fei Du wake up from his own world. But due to Bao Wenqin's betrayal, he already felt that the whole world was boring at this time, and he also felt a little unhappy.
He even felt that it would be a blessing if he could die at the hands of Bao Wenqin.
"You were played around by Bao Wenqin's bitch, don't you want to take revenge in person?" Mei Buyu saw that Fei Du still didn't answer herself, so she spoke again.
"Yes, I was deceived so badly by Bao Wenqin, her so-called child is just a means for her to control herself, why should I be sad for her in the face of such a shameless person." Thinking of this, Fei Du finally stood up with support on the ground.
"Yes, why is the husband without a wife! Bao Wenqin: From today onwards, I will break off with you! Fei Du looked at Bao Wenqin coldly with red eyes, and his cold eyes seemed to be able to freeze the whole world.
"What kind of kindness do you and I have, you are really a man who is not my man, I can tell you that you are just one of my many faces, and there are more than a dozen people under my pomegranate skirt like you!" Bao Wenqin was not angry at all, she just said lightly.
Not to mention this, but fortunately, Fei Du felt that his lungs were about to explode. Originally, he always thought that Bao Wenqin thought that the ladies of Bingqing and Yujie were authentic and good women.
But now he knew that this concubine of the king of Huainan was simply a shameless woman.
"It's really funny, is it that in this world, you men can have three wives and four concubines, and they can sleep outside the flowers, and when it comes to us, women must obey the three obedience and four virtues, and we must be obedient and humble every day." Bao Wenqin looked at Fei Du with a look of disgust and said.
"It is a matter of course for women to follow three virtues and four virtues, and this is what the saint said." Fei Du had completely let go of the obsession in his heart at this time, so he stood up confidently and said loudly.
"I won't have more verbal disputes with you, no matter what, you and Pan He and the others will be unable to escape this time." Seeing that Pan He and the others were completely unstoppable, Bao Wenqin was no longer willing to talk to them.
"Quickly take them all down for me, I guess Qingyun's side is about to end." After the king of Huainan gave the order, his guards immediately roared angrily and rushed towards the rebel guards.
Originally, these guards of the rebels could still resist one or two, but when the guards of King Huainan went crazy and killed them, the rebel guards couldn't resist it at all.
Just as the Huainan army was quickly clearing out the rebel soldiers who were resisting the front, Fei Du had already led another part of the rebel soldiers towards the stairs of the city wall.
At this time, the guards at the entrance of the stairs were not the guards of the King of Huainan, these people were the gangs of the Free Hall led by Huang Budo.
"Fei Du, are you really Huang someone, is it a false name? Lao Tzu's name as an obstacle is not blown out. Huang Bu doubted that Fei Du was trying to find a way out from his side, and he couldn't help but sneer.
Although there are not many people on his side, whether he is or the knights on the four groups of chain horses before, they are all veterans of the Huainan Army.
They used to be part of the Black-Faced Army. If they want to say anything else, they may be afraid, but when it comes to killing people and fighting, these people are very itchy.
"Huang Budo not doubt that if you are known by nonsense, let Lao Tzu get out of the way, otherwise Lao Tzu's long knife will not recognize people immediately!" Although Fei Du knew that a battle with Huang Budo was inevitable, he still had a glimmer of hope for the success of the negotiations.
But apparently the threat of Fadu did not play any role. I saw that Huang Budo was holding a long knife and slashed directly towards Fei Du's front door.
Seeing this, Fei Du immediately snorted coldly, and also greeted him with a long knife in his hand.
"It seems that this time the rebels are afraid that they will not be able to escape!" Li Yi muttered to himself.
"That's right, I didn't expect these guys to end up dead under the calculations of King Huainan." Keiko shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Although the King of Huainan has won this time, I still feel that the King of Huainan has another attempt to exterminate these rebels this time." Li Yi looked at King Huainan with a faint smile on his face at this time, and an uncomfortable feeling surged up in his heart.
"Yes, I also think that King Huainan's actions are a little strange this time." Mu Junhe, who had not spoken much at this time, suddenly spoke.
"Senior brother, senior brother, what do you feel weird?" Jing Zizheng opened his mouth and said, he just felt that the Huainan King had a very subtle layout.
"I can't say what is weird. But have you noticed that the King of Huainan obviously laid out in advance this time, and even did not hesitate to pretend to be dead to deceive the rebels, but this time he sacrificed a lot of soldiers in the Huainan Army alone, not to mention the ordinary people in the city. Li Yi carefully analyzed Jingzizheng.
"Maybe this is the price that King Huainan must pay in order to lure Nan Yi to be fooled!" Keiko explained.
"No, King Huainan may not care about the people under his rule, but the army should not be sacrificed at will, after all, the troubled times are coming, and the army is the most important support for the vassal kings to save their lives!" Mu Junhe also thinks that there is a big problem with this matter.
"And since Huang Budo was arranged in advance by the King of Huainan, why didn't he let Nan Yi lead the rebels directly into the city, he had to block Nan Yi outside the city for a day or two." Li Yi himself also felt that the more he said that King Huainan had a major problem.
"Maybe it's because Mu Qingyun and Zhang Shuliang haven't been able to unify the Huainan Army at that time!" Jing Zizheng still didn't think there was anything wrong with King Huainan.
