"Oh no! Oh no! Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the northern city wall has fallen! ”

Needless to say, as the main gate of Delsi City, Anaro always pays attention to the situation on the side of the north city wall, and he can still be calm when the north city wall is washed by explosives.

It's a big deal not to send someone up, just wait for them to blow up.

But the collapse of the walls was a surprise to him.

The reason why he dared to resist and defend the city in front of these terrifying Tianyun people with 130,000 troops was because he had confidence in Delsi's city walls.

The entire wall of Delsi had been passed by since he came, and the height of eight meters and the huge wall that was two feet wide gave him plenty of confidence.

But he didn't expect the people of the Cloud Kingdom to be so powerful these days.

Their horrific weapons actually smashed down the northern wall of Delsi!

Boom!

Now that a wall has collapsed, it means that Delsi City is like a stripped beauty who can be slaughtered!

There is no point in defending the city anymore!

After understanding the crux of the matter, Anaro did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the soldiers who were originally stationed on the other walls to be gathered back.

Now that things have come to this point, he can only rely on the number of people in his hands and his familiarity with the city to engage in a war of attrition with the other party!

He has 130,000 people, but there are only 50,000 on the other side, and 10,000 are still cavalry, which cannot be used in a place like the city.

On your own side, you may be able to kill the other party by seizing the opportunity.

And he himself, having arranged a policy of resistance on street fighting, went down to the safety of the rear under the escort of the pro-guard battalion.

As soon as the northern city wall collapsed, Guan Ning understood that the opportunity had come, and without hesitation, except for the 10,000 cavalry who let them stay in the city, the other 40,000 foot soldiers immediately marched towards the city of Delsi.

As the army approached, the smoke from the collapse of the city walls gradually dissipated.

The scene in the city clearly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and unlike Guan Ning's imagination, the fourth prince of poison, Anaro, did not gather a large army here to fight them at the first time when the city wall fell.

On the contrary, after the collapsed city wall, it was empty except for the corpses that had been crushed by the wall.

Looking at this scene, Guan Ning's brows immediately furrowed, and he understood why this was the case.

There is only one possibility!

The other party did not want to fight them head-on, so they chose to engage in street battles with them.

And this is undoubtedly a very smart choice, whether in terms of weapons or personnel quality, the expeditionary force far surpasses the army under Anaro, and he has no chance at all in frontal combat, just delaying the time of death.

On the contrary, if they choose street fighting, with their familiarity with the city of Delsi, and the advantage of far outnumbering the expeditionary force, they may be able to turn defeat into victory, and even if they can't, they can cause huge casualties to Guan Ning's expeditionary force.

Leaving the defending side to engage in street fighting is the last thing the besieging side wants to encounter, and in such a situation, there is almost no way but to fight hard!

Guan Ning's brows furrowed deeply, looking at the scene in front of him, he didn't give the order to let the army attack for a long time, he knew that once he gave the order, the 40,000 foot soldiers under his command would have to fight the most bloody battle with the enemy who was most familiar with the terrain in this narrow alley, and even if they were not careful, they would not be able to come back.

It wasn't a scene he wanted to see, and he didn't want such casualties.

But what should he do?

Just as he hesitated, the adjutant saw that he had not given an order for a long time, and after a little thought, he understood the concerns of his commander, and also frowned.

But when he looked at the soldiers behind him, and then at the houses in Delsi City, which were mostly grass huts and wooden buildings, an idea that could be said to be extremely vicious in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty appeared in his mind.

At first, he hesitated to do this.

But then he thought that this was not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty anyway, let alone any force under the command of King Yun.

This is the territory of the enemy country, and all they have to do is to help the Poison King eliminate this rebel army, as for what means are used to eliminate this rebel army, it is not important, and it is not something they need to consider.

The only thing they had to think about was how they could bring back the brothers behind them more completely.

Instead of making them pay senseless sacrifices here for the sake of outsiders!

After making a decision, Adjutant Wu Yan immediately came to Guan Ning, who was still frowning and contemplating, and after glancing at the observation group on the side, he whispered in Guan Ning's ear to say his thoughts.

Guan Ning, who was already worried, was shocked when he heard Wu Yan's suggestion, and looked at his adjutant in disbelief, not understanding why he would come up with such a vicious plan.

But then he looked at the soldiers behind him, and the balance in his heart gradually tilted and tilted to the side of the soldiers.

He is a Song man, and he is a person under the command of King Yun.

Poisoning people's lives is not a matter for him to consider, he just needs to take care of the 50,000 brothers under his command.

Let others say the rest, even if it's just to get more soldiers to return to Yunzhou County, let him bear this notoriety!

Guan Ning is not an indecisive character, and since he has already made a decision, he will not waste any more time.

Immediately they were sent to prepare oil and fire-starters.

It didn't take long for a large amount of timber and straw to be retrieved by the soldiers who had been sent out.

A batch of oil was found in a nearby house.

Under Guan Ning's orders, the soldiers piled the timber and straw evenly on the front row of the houses in Delsi City.

Immediately afterwards, oil was poured on it.

Finally, after Guan Ning took two deep breaths, he gave an order and ordered someone to ignite all the things that ignited the fire that had been poured with oil!

Something that is already easy to catch fire is more likely to ignite when oil is applied.

In the blink of an eye, the fire burned violently!

Under the shocked gaze of the observation group, the entire city of Delsi began to ignite!

It was only then that everyone understood that Guan Ning actually decided to set fire to the city in order to reduce his own casualties!

The whole city of Delcy is almost entirely made of wood!

This fire can't be easily extinguished!

Maybe the whole of Delcy will be burned to the ground!

The officers of the observation group were anxious, they rushed to Guan Ning angrily, and asked angrily:

"General Guan! What are you doing here? Don't you know the consequences of doing so?

The whole of Delcy will be burned clean by your fire!

You're doing something like a demon!

You will be punished by the gods!

Let the fire be extinguished, and the fire must not spread! ”

However, in the face of their questioning, they asked Guan Ning to extinguish the fire, but Guan Ning always just looked at them expressionlessly, half-squinting and not making a sound.

After a long time, when these people's voices reached their highest, Guan Ning finally replied coldly.

"So what?"

The officers of the observation group were like chickens choked by the neck, and they instantly fell silent, looking at Guan Ning with incredible faces.

Guan Ning continued: "The rebels can only be blamed for all this, and it is they who insist on continuing to resist, which caused the general to have no choice but to make this decision.

If he had been willing to fight us head-on, or surrender, none of this would have happened.

But he chose the stupidest way.

Because of his choice, I had no choice but to do so. ”

"But you could have sent troops in to hunt down the rebels, why did you set fire to the city?!"

Immediately, a poisonous officer of the observation group questioned.

"Why would I do this?"

Guan Ning asked with a sneer.

"You promised to help us defeat the rebels." The officer replied.

Guan Ning nodded: "That's right, we promised, aren't we defeating them?"

It's just that we don't use your methods, we use ours. ”

After a pause, Guan Ning's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly:

"Although we promised you to help you defeat the rebels, this does not mean that you can command us, you must understand!

You're the losers!

Helping you clear out the rebels is our duty to you, but not our obligation!

We are not obligated to pay for you the huge casualties that must have been incurred in such a battle!

So, now please shut up! Honestly, when I'm done fighting this battle, you'll just have to take Delcy back again!

As for the rest, you don't have any choice right now, you know!? ”

Guan Ning's words suddenly made everyone in the observation group sober up, and they reacted.

Yes, how dare they question this general of the Tianyun Kingdom, they are the defeated side, and they even paid a huge price to reluctantly sign an armistice agreement with the other party.

In case the other party tore up the armistice agreement because of the impulse of himself and others, then the eldest prince would definitely tear them alive, and they would become the whole poisonous sinner.

Today's Delsi City is the power of the four princes, and since the four princes have chosen this way of resistance, the other party has chosen to set fire to the city.

Then just push everything to the fourth prince.

There's no need for them to be at odds with each other because of this.

Anyway, it's just the rebels and the dispensable lowly spinners, it's not a big deal, as long as you take back Delsi City.

After thinking of this, all the officers of the observation group honestly retreated, not daring to say anything more in front of Guan Ning.

And Guan Ning no longer paid attention to them, and continued to command the army to burn the city!

Endless flames burned in Delsi, and soon the entire North City was ignited, forming a sea of fire!

The poison soldiers who were hiding in the alleys and the poisoned civilians who were hiding in their homes escaped because of the fire.

However, when they escaped, they found that they were already in a sea of fire, not only their home, but the entire Beicheng District was set on fire!

They can't escape!

In the midst of the flames, there were countless wails and screams, and it was the poisonous man wailing! It was the last echo of the poisonous man in the flames!

However, all this will be completely annihilated by the fire after all!
