At night, there was a sound of fighting in Youxin City.

Blood, limbs sprayed everywhere, the sound of steel knives slashing into the human body made the roots of people's teeth sore, and the screams of dying irritated people's eardrums and brains.

The screams could be heard clearly outside the city.

Ren Baqian and the empress sat side by side outside Luan's car, enjoying the night breeze and the smell of blood brought by the night wind from afar.

"Sing me a song!" said the Empress suddenly.

"I'll sing Little Star!" Ren Baqian perked up.

In the distance, the ears of the little Lori Tonglan moved, and she caught a sentence in the night wind.

"Little Star ......" Tonglan gritted her teeth, the students of the academy were all beaten by her, and no one knew what Little Star was.

"You sing, I'll listen!" the empress looked up at the night sky and said lightly.

"Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars, hanging in the sky and shining brightly, like many small eyes ......" Ren Baqian hummed quietly.

The empress didn't think the song was childish, but felt a different kind of warmth, like a ballad listened to in her mother's arms, but the memory was so long that she couldn't even remember it, but when she listened to the song, she suddenly turned it out of the depths of her memory.

"When the war is settled, I'll go back to the mountains to have a look. The empress said.

"Sixty thousand mountains?" asked Ren Baqian, stopping the humming in his mouth.

The empress nodded slightly.

"Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"

"It is said that my mother's grave is in the mountains, and she has not seen what I am like now. The empress rarely had a trace of emotion.

"I'll accompany Your Majesty to see it then. But if you want to finish the war, you have to be afraid of Great Xia. "Ren 8000.

"Aren't you planning something with that Great Xia man?" asked the empress.

"As I told Your Majesty at the beginning, when Great Xia is in turmoil, we will be stable. And 100 million taels of silver can also do a lot of things. "Ren 8000.

The Empress nodded and said no more.

"In fact, there is no need to finish the war, as long as there is a radio station, it will not affect the handling of government affairs wherever you go. Ren Baqian said with a smile.

"You won't need it here!" the empress said lightly.

"Uh......" Ren Baqian opened his mouth, who would have thought that the land of Tianjing was so weird, such a large area, and it was all a place of silence.

At this time, several figures passed through the city, and quickly rushed towards the place where Ren Baqian and the empress were.

"Lord Ren, urgent news!" Zuo Leng said loudly in front of Ren Baqian and the empress.

"Say!"

"My lord, the news was left by Fengping Dao Tiger City. ”

Ren Baqian's mind immediately flashed in his mind that the person Zuo Leng had said two days ago was a lieutenant under Tie Zi, and when he came back with the news, he didn't know what was going on.

"The rebels are going to set fire to the city!" Zuo Leng said in a cold voice, he was startled when he first saw the news, and then extreme anger rose. He was born and raised in the Land of Heaven. Although it is understandable that the two armies are fighting by any means, they did not expect them to be so ruthless.

"What are they going to do?" Ren Baqian's face also became serious.

"According to the message left by Tiger City, the rebels placed many fire-stirring objects all over the city, and when they led our army deep into the city, they set fire to the city. I have already checked, and I have seen oil tanks and dry firewood in many places, mostly in some corners or yards, if you don't know beforehand, it is difficult to find.

My lord, most of the houses in Yuxin City are made of wood, and as long as the fire is together, it is difficult to control. Not only did my army suffer heavy casualties, but even the people in the city could hardly escape!"

The oil canister here is filled with animal fat.

"Didn't the people in the city evacuate first?" Ren Baqian was a little surprised.

"No, otherwise you would have noticed something was wrong as soon as you entered the city. ”

"It's really ruthless and poisonous enough!" Ren Baqian suddenly laughed, his laughter was a little cold. "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, these rebels actually let hundreds of thousands of people in the city come to the funeral, it's really crazy!"

"My lord, what should I do?" asked Zuo Leng.

"The order was given to the people of the Metropolitan Protectorate to take away the oil canisters on both sides of the main road first, and pile up the firewood in one place for guards, so as to ensure that the army was safe when it evacuated. After that, it spreads out to the surrounding area with the main road as the axis, mainly searching for oil tanks. Ren Baqian said in a deep voice.

You must know that most of the burning of cities like this is not burned to death, but suffocated by smoke.

Even if it is not burned, it will die due to inhalation of large amounts of carbon monoxide, lack of oxygen, etc.

As long as the main road can be guaranteed to be safe, at least buy some more time for the army to withdraw from it. After that, the oil tanks in other places are removed, and without the oil tanks, even if a fire breaks out, it will not be difficult to clean up immediately.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" asked Ren Baqian, turning his head.

"Tell the flying horsemen to block the gates in the other three directions and block the rebels in the city. The empress said coldly. Originally, in order to reduce casualties, it was planned to leave two doors for them to escape, and then chase and kill them all the way.

Now the empress has changed her mind.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, I am afraid that they will not burn the city, but will fight hard, and I am afraid that in the end the casualties will be much greater. It is better to wait for them to start lighting fires, and then block the three gates. Ren Baqian said with a cold gaze.

"Sow the cause and get the cause, and sow the fruit and get the fruit." Originally, I hadn't thought of doing this, but since they were going to set fire to the city, then I couldn't blame anyone else, so let them die with this Youxin City!"

"My lord, the people in the city ......" Although Zuo Leng's name is cold, people are warm-hearted, and after listening to Ren Baqian's words, he suddenly became excited.

"Inform Keiduhu of this, and ask him to reduce the intensity of the attack, delay the time, and wait until most of the oil tanks in the south of the city have been removed, and then strengthen the attack. As for the people, then you will have the people fleeing from the south of the city in the other three directions. How much they can escape depends on their lives. ”

Zuo Leng listened to this arrangement and was very grateful.

Unexpectedly, the three major forces born and raised in the city made such a plan to burn the city, and let the hundreds of thousands of people in the city be buried in the fire, just to prevent the ancient army from discovering the problem in advance. And Ren Baqian, the boss who has always felt ruthless to him, has left a way for the people in the city to live.

Although there will inevitably be a lot of casualties, it can already be said that there are countless living people.

"Tell General Creek these words as well. Let people keep an eye on the movements of the rebels from a high place, and if they find that the three gates are impassable after the fire starts, and a large number of troops want to break through in the direction of the south gate, they will immediately intercept them. As for you, after leading the civilians to flee to the south of the city, you wander around the city to intercept and kill small groups of rebels!"

"Understood, sir. Zuo Leng said. regretful

"Go ahead. Find a way to contact Tiger City and get him to leave. Ren Baqian said lightly, turned his head to look at the empress and said, "Your Majesty, although you can leave the rebels behind, it is a pity that you can't keep the head of the rebels." ”
