Chapter 236: Adding fuel to the fire
After the crude oil is purified, the flammability and flame resistance will reach a whole new level, and the slightest spark can cause a huge fire. www.biquge.info In addition, another advantage of a fire lit with clear oil is that it cannot be extinguished with water, and pouring water on the oil will only make the fire more ferocious.
After arranging everything in the valley, Yuan Qi specially ordered a team of elites of the Heavenly Return Army to clean up the traces left in the valley, striving to make people traceless and seamless. When the returning army finished cleaning up the traces and exited the valley, Yuan Qi looked at the last sergeant who withdrew from the valley, and sighed in a low voice: "I don't know how many people will be killed in the fire by this fire, and how many families and wives will be separated." ”
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stood side by side beside Yuan Qi, and after hearing Yuan Qi's sigh, the two of them were also quite emotional. After a long time, Zhou Yu spoke: "Junhou, the troubled times use heavy canons, the era of peace can only be exchanged for the blood and sacrifice of countless people, the killing in front of me is just to prevent more killing, the Junhou conquest of Yuan Bai is a matter of merit to the society, right now, it is not the time to be merciful." ”
Yuan Qi said with a wry smile: "Gong Jin's words, I understand everything, it's just a momentary feeling, I hope that the troubled times will end this morning, and we don't have to kill to stop killing and countering violence with violence." ”
In the evening of the same day, Yuan Yin, as Yuan Qi expected, led an army of 50,000 into the valley and set up camp in the valley. After the clear oil is purified, the pungent smell has been reduced a lot, but there are still some unpleasant smells. Prior to Yuanqi, specifically targeting this weakness of clear oil, some fragrant flowers and trees were arranged in the valley to cover up the taste of clear oil. Therefore, Yuan Yin's army of 50,000 found almost nothing abnormal.
At night, most of the 50,000 troops under Yuan Yin, except for the sergeants on patrol, had already fallen asleep. On the contrary, the soldiers of the Yuan and Sun coalition armies had already woken up and came to the valley full of energy, taking advantage of the cover of night to begin to climb the low mountains around the valley. On the top of the mountain on three sides of Yuan Yinjun's army, Yuan Qi had already let his soldiers open up three open spaces to avoid fire. Prevent the fire from rolling up and burning your own soldiers.
The first to climb to the top of the mountain was Sun Ce, a fierce tiger in Jiangdong. Yuan Qi gave him the task of launching a fire attack. Reaching out and pulling out a sharp arrow, Sun Ce clenched his longbow with some hesitation, to be honest, compared to Yuan Qi's confidence, Sun Ce was skeptical. Yuan Qi has the experience and knowledge of later generations, and knows the method and horror of the use of fire oil. But Sun Ce didn't know this, he didn't believe that those clear oils, which were only a little thicker than water, would ignite monstrous flames. In Sun Ce's impression. Only the oil refined from those animals and plants can play a burning role, like the fire oil in Yuan Qi's hand, which is said to be found from the soil, Sun Ce really can't believe it too much.
But it's on the line. I already had to send it. Sun Ce took out the fire fold, lit the fuse on the sharp arrow, and then put the rocket on the bowstring. Shoot down towards the camp of Yuan Yinjun. In the dark night sky, this rocket is particularly eye-catching. With Sun Ce's movements, the sergeants on the top of the mountain on three sides raised the prepared rockets at the same time, and then let go and shot the rockets. The stacks of dry wood at the top of the hill also rolled down after being lit.
Looking at the fire in front of him, Sun Ce was stunned, because he saw that under his leadership, after the first round of rocket ejections by the sergeants on the three mountains, the camp of Yuan Yin's army had burned rapidly in the shortest possible time, and the flames that broke through the night sky did not look like they had just been ignited, but as if they had been scorching for three days and three nights!
As the fire rose, Sergeant Yuan Yin finally reflected, took out the water in the army, and poured it on the fire in front of him. Unexpectedly, the fire after being splashed by the water did not weaken, but burned more and more, faintly burning the entire valley to the ground.
Feeling the scorching heat of the flames and the resoluteness of the fire, Yuan Yinjun collectively fell into a frenzy. What kind of fire is this? Water can't extinguish it? A large number of sergeants shouted frantically and ran around, trying to find a place where there was no flame, and avoid the catastrophe. However, they were disappointed that the valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only one way out, and it was really difficult to find that only way out under such a fire. What's more, Yuan Qi had already gotten ready to go into battle and personally led the Tiangui Army to stop there, and it was too difficult to escape from Yuan Qi and the Tiangui Army's men. In the absence of a way out, a large number of sergeants completely lost their courage and shouted hysterically for help, infecting their fears on many more of their companions.
In the midst of the flames, General Yang came to Yuan Yin's side and shouted eagerly: "Childe, when I was in Wancheng, I heard someone say that there is a kind of fire that cannot be extinguished by water, and can only be extinguished with soil!" Yuan Yin hurriedly shouted, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Use soil to extinguish fire!"
The nearby Yuan Jun obeyed Yuan Yin's order and immediately used the weapon in his hand to dig up the soil on the ground. Immediately lit the dry firewood hidden under the floating soil and soaked in clear oil, Yuan Jun couldn't imagine that the fire would rise from the soil, and he was really frightened. Without defense, many people's armor was ignited in an instant, and then they were engulfed in flames, leaving only screams and wails that stirred the hearts of those who were still alive.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yin was dumbfounded, and General Yang was also dumbfounded, they didn't understand why flames could still emerge from the soil, could this be the legendary heavenly thunder and earth fire? The ferocious fire reflected Yuan Yin's face. At this moment, Yuan Yin's face was about to drip blood, he drew out his sword and stabbed at General Yang, and roared angrily: "You have a good idea!"
General Yang hurriedly flashed to the side, and argued in a loud voice: "Childe, don't panic, let's still retreat, it should be fine when we get out of the valley, and the last general is willing to make meritorious contributions." Be a pioneer for Childe. ”
Yuan Yin shouted hysterically, "Hurry up and rush out with Ben General!" , and then asked General Yang to gather his subordinates to open the way in front, and he himself took his own soldiers. Closely followed behind General Yang's headquarters.
Listening to the incessant wailing in the camp of the Yuan army at the foot of the mountain, Sun Ce felt unprecedentedly comfortable! His father was plotted to death by Yuan Bai, and now, finally out of this evil breath!
As the fire spread, many of the Yuan soldiers were on the verge of collapse, and the sea of fire in the sky had consumed all their courage, and their armor and weapons were getting hotter and hotter, almost roasting their flesh alive. The clothes under the armor of some people actually spontaneously combusted, which further hit the morale of the Yuan army, causing the Yuan army to throw away their armor and let out a series of desperate shouts. More and more people, swallowed up by the merciless sea of fire, instantly turned into a fire man, screaming and struggling, but their screams became weaker and weaker, and finally fell to the ground and could no longer move, completely integrating their bodies into this sea of fire, passively becoming a combustible substance.
When Sun Ce shot the rocket again, he casually threw away the strong bow in his hand, but turned around and took out two wine jars from behind him, these two wine jars were filled with clear oil and burning knife wine, Sun Ce opened the wine jar, poured the liquid inside on the prepared bundle of dry firewood, and then grabbed the dry firewood and threw it down the mountain with all his might. This bundle of dry firewood was thrown directly into Yuan's camp under Sun Ce's vigorous throwing, and then it was immediately ignited by the flames, which emitted a more intense flame. The 10,000 soldiers under the command of Sun Ce did the same, pouring liquor and clear oil on the dry firewood, and then sliding the dry wood down the slope of the mountain into the valley......
Taniguchi, after several efforts, General Yang finally found the right way out in the blazing fire and gunsmoke, and came to Taniguchi, where the fire was relatively weak. However, when General Yang saw the origin of the White Horse Golden Armor, the despair in his heart was even worse than being in the sea of fire!
The Jade Qilin and the Wandering Dragon Roaring Heavenly Armor and the Mixed Yuan Halberd have become the exclusive symbols of Yuan Qi. Seeing these three things appear on a person's body at the same time, General Yang guessed that it was Yuan Qi. In the face of Xiaobawang, General Yang is more willing to choose to face the sea of fire, at least in the sea of fire, there is still a glimmer of life.
However, Yuan Yin's voice forced General Yang to have no way out: "Go, kill Nasi, this son will protect you from glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"
In desperation, General Yang launched the most fierce attack in his life like a desperate person, and swung the pinnacle of his life! If it was in normal times, he would have applauded his knife, but at this moment, what responded to him was only a sound of his body shattering. General Yang didn't even see clearly how Yuan Qi made a move, and he felt a sharp pain in the position of his heart, and then his eyes went black, and he fell into eternal darkness.
General Yang was stabbed to death with a halberd, which made Yuan Yin shocked, and asked in shock: "You, who are you?"
Yuan Qi shook off the blood beads on the Yuan halberd, and replied loudly: "Ben Hou is Yuan Qi!"
That night, none of the 50,000 troops commanded by Yuan Yin survived, either burned to death by the fire, killed by the ambush soldiers outside the valley, or fell to their knees and asked for surrender. The heads of Yuan Yin and General Yang were put in a brocade box by Yuan Qi and returned to Yuan Bai, who immediately vomited blood and fainted to the ground.
Yuan Qi in seven days, successively defeated Yuan Bai's three-way army, so that Yuan Bai put into the battlefield of the 110,000 army lost, angry Yuan Bai vomited blood and fainted at the same time, but also stimulated the will of other princes to fight, in the next half a month, under the onslaught of all the princes, Yuan Bai's army resistance became more and more difficult, forcing Yuan Bai to withdraw from Shouchun, retreat to Jiangting. There, a large amount of grain and grass is hoarded, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yuan Bai was ready to be there and do the last battle.
