Chapter 282: The fire is soaring
The walls of Jin Jiancheng were brightly lit, and the soldiers guarding them were almost all looking up and looking at the slowly moving stars.
"It's amazing that those stars are moving towards us, I've never seen anything like this before!"
"Maybe it's some special celestial phenomenon!"
"It's possible, such a celestial phenomenon is really rare, maybe it will be recorded, we are lucky to see it!"
"Look at everything, keep an eye on me, don't you know when it is, in case someone from the Qiankun Empire calls!" a general shouted.
As soon as the soldiers saw that their superiors were angry, they hurriedly stopped talking and paid attention to the front outside the city. Still, they couldn't help it, and from time to time they glanced up at the approaching starlight.
At this time, not only the guards on the city wall, but also the soldiers from all over the city saw that large piece of starlight, and they couldn't help but be amazed. It didn't take long for the starlight to reach above them.
The Third Elder and the Grand General walked out of the room, staring at the sky and frowning.
"Third Elder, have you ever seen such a celestial phenomenon?" the general asked.
"No!" The Third Elder shook his head and said, "This strange celestial phenomenon is really ......"
Before the Third Elder could finish his sentence, he saw those stars suddenly increase in brightness, and then quickly fell downward.
"Hmm!" the three elders felt their hearts shrink suddenly, and an indescribable fear enveloped their bodies.
And in the sky, those bright starlights were getting bigger and bigger, and only then did he see clearly that where the starlight was, it was obviously a burning fireball.
The entire Jin Jiancheng people were stunned. The soldiers watched dumbly as fireballs fell all over the city.
......In the silent night, there were such sounds everywhere, and then the flames burned.
"Fight the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!" the three elders were the first to reflect. Shout out loud.
However, with his voice, the whole city suddenly fell into chaos, there was no organization, and the soldiers went their own way, how could they not be in chaos.
There were too many fires, scattered all over the city. Moreover, the fire burned rapidly, and there was no time to rescue in the chaos.
"Fooled, we're fooled!" the three elders had already understood at this time. This is not a starry celestial phenomenon at all, it is a means of the Qiankun Empire. The fire burned so quickly that a lot of oil must have been used.
"How did they manage to let the fire drift into our city!" the general also reacted. In an instant, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. His hands trembled with extreme fear, and such a method was simply unpredictable.
"Leave it to mind what they do, hurry up and stop the firefighting, or the whole city will be burned to the ground!" shouted the third elder.
"Oh!" the general forced his emotions and was about to turn around and organize firefighting.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly lit up, and on the left and right sides of Jin Jiancheng, a raging fire rose into the sky. The night sky is reflected as day.
"I'm the Ao, the hills. The hills on both sides!" The three elder's pupils shrank a little, and his facial muscles were out of shape, and he remembered the three hundred chariots hidden in the hills on both sides.
"Quick! get out of the chariots hiding in the hills......," the three elders shouted hysterically, and the wind rushed up to the city.
But what he saw was a sea of red fire, a terrible heat wave, the neighing of horses, and the faint terrible howl of the soldiers before they died!
"It's over! It's completely over!" The third elder's expression was dull, and the whole person seemed to collapse, and his body shook, and he stretched out his hand to hold the city wall so that he did not fall.
"Kill~" The tidal wave of shouting and killing came from the front, and under the reflection of the huge fire, countless soldiers of the Qiankun Empire rushed out of the darkness and swooped towards this side!
The soldiers of the Sixth Legion were quite excited, none of them thought that the kind of small Kong Ming lantern that had been released before would really cause such a shocking scene.
Surprised, shocked, and at the same time, my heart was also excited, those Kong Ming lanterns were all released by them personally, and it felt as if they had created such a result with their own hands.
Wei Ning, who was watching the battle from the rear, was so excited that his face turned red, now he can understand Tang Chuxue's mood at the beginning, this battle was too easy, Jiang Xingchen's success in this method has already doomed the outcome of this battle.
"Kong Ming lantern, Kong Ming lantern! How did Jiang Xingchen come up with this kid......
The moment the Kong Ming lantern fell, there was no suspense in this battle, the fire in the city was soaring, where could the soldiers of Tongyu City fight with the Sixth Legion again, maybe they would be burned to death before they could enter the city!
The three elders were so aggrieved that they vomited blood, and after working so hard to prepare for so long, they originally thought that they would be able to inflict heavy losses on the Sixth Legion, level Qi Yueling, and break the overall defensive deployment of the Qiankun Empire.
But who would have thought that in less than half a month, he was completely defeated, and even the crossbow chariot designed by Xian Ning did not play a role, and he was directly suffocated in the forest.
"Jiang Xingchen! It must be Jiang Xingchen again, how did he do it, he won the distance without showing up, this kid is simply not human!"
He cursed in his heart, the three elders had no intention of fighting, and the fire inside and outside the city was raging, and it was impossible to defend it.
"Withdraw, abandon Jin Jiancheng, withdraw!" the three elders shouted, calling for the general.
The general who commanded the firefighting also heard the shouting of killing, and he had already planned to retreat, and when he heard the decision of the three elders, where would he stay for a long time, his heart had been imprinted by Jiang Xingchen's unpredictable methods......
In just two months, the soldiers of the Qiankun Empire opened the gates of Jin Jiancheng with almost no resistance.
In terms of numbers, there were more Tongyu soldiers than Imperial soldiers, but they were frightened by this fire, and they had no intention of fighting at all, so they only knew that they were fleeing frantically. As a result, the soldiers of the Sixth Legion pursued them all the way, leaving behind countless corpses.
Ten miles away from Jin Jiancheng, the old man looked at Jiang Xingchen, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and looked at Jiang Xingchen in front of him who was reflected in the red sky by the flames, and felt a little cramped in his breathing.
The flour exploded, Kong Ming lantern set fire, which one of them is a super killer, and when it is used, it will be tens of thousands of casualties...... How many of these things are in this kid's head?
Jiang Xingchen was also a little excited, Ji Lu had finally succeeded, and he had to do experiments and make Kong Ming lanterns in the past few days, he was really a little exhausted. If Kong Ming's lantern fails to play a role, then it will be a big trouble, not only will the land you want to develop not be available, but it will also be reclaimed to the developed hills, and the little cat girl will not have to go crazy with herself!
However, when Jiang Xingchen watched the flames in front of him getting bigger and bigger, he also felt a trace of emotion in his heart! With one method, he destroyed the entire Jinjian City, as well as the two hills, I don't know how many people there will be......
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at the sky, only to see that a dark cloud had obscured the starlight!
"I'm the next Olympics! Sure enough, fortunately I stopped it and didn't pretend to be ......."
The sky was dark, and the whole battle was over, and the Sixth Army captured Jinjian City with 10,000 infantry, with less than 1,000 casualties.
And the soldiers of the Tongyu Kingdom retreated a hundred miles and entered another city. Along the way, no less than 10,000 soldiers were killed, and the Yuanshi vein was also released.
The fire was finally extinguished, the two hills turned into barren mountains, and Jin Jiancheng also became a ruin, wisps of smoke emerging from the charred ruins, showing how fierce this fire was.
Jiang Xingchen and the old man had already returned to the Sixth Army station, and the old man originally wanted to go to see the scene, but when he thought that Jiang Xingchen was bleeding, he still gave up.
In the morning, Wei Ning arranged the guards of the ore vein, returned to the garrison with the soldiers who had fought all night, and went directly to find Jiang Xingchen.
"Jiang Xingchen, thank you! Don't say anything else, if you can use me in the future, just speak!" Wei Ning smiled and stepped forward to hug Jiang Xingchen hard. He was very happy, and he was in high spirits, this battle was won beautifully, there were few casualties, and the most important thing was that he grabbed the Yuanshi ore vein, and this credit was definitely greater than Tang Chuxue's battle last year!
However, he forgot that Jiang Xingchen was faint from blood! He had just returned from the battlefield, and his armor had not been changed, and when he hugged Jiang Xingchen, a strong stream of blood rushed into Jiang Xingchen's nose.
"Grope~" Jiang Xingchen didn't speak, pushed Wei Ning away, covered his mouth and ran out.
"Uh!" Wei Ning straightened his eyes and let out a hearty laugh: "How did I forget, this kid is faint ...... blood"
The old man also had a sinister smile on his face, with a gloating expression......
Jiang Xingchen did not stay in the Sixth Army for long, and left at noon that day. Before leaving, all the 10,000 soldiers who had gone out to fight last night ran out and lined up to send them off.
In their eyes, Jiang Xingchen has simply become a god, the lantern can fly, and he will burn Jin Jiancheng without meeting, is there anything more amazing than this. The most important thing is that they fought too easily in this battle, there were not many casualties at all, it can also be said that Jiang Xingchen saved their lives, and they were grateful to Jiang Xingchen from the bottom of their hearts.
When Jiang Xingchen left, far away in the imperial palace, the emperor, the marshal, the minister of finance, Feng Xuanzhang and others all opened their mouths slightly, staring incredulously at the black-clothed man below.
"Emperor, Wei Ning has sent a letter, he has captured Jinjian City, killed tens of thousands of enemies, Tongyu Kingdom retreated a hundred miles, hid in Aya City, and the Yuanshi mine has been under our control......"
"This ...... So fast!" Feng Xuanzhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, from receiving the news of Wei Ning's dispatch to now, it only took one day, and this took Jin Jiancheng, is this Nima still a siege battle.
Even the marshal narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What about the casualties of the Sixth Legion?"
The man in black pursed his lips with difficulty and said, "Wei Ning's battle report, our total casualties are less than a thousand!"
"What?" the Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't help but exclaim, how could it be that at the end of the siege one day, he had suffered less than a thousand casualties and killed more than 10,000 enemies. Even if Jiang Xingchen came up with a way to break the enemy, it couldn't be so exaggerated!
The Emperor spoke in a low voice: "What method did this kid Jiang Xingchen use?" (to be continued......)
