Chapter 980: Purgatory
It is said that arson has always been compared to murder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info fire attack is one of the effective means of attacking the enemy in the war, as early as the Three Kingdoms period was frequently used in various famous battles, the following dynasties are not lacking in fire attack to win the battle, once as the invader of the Qing soldiers are more familiar with this means.
At this time, the Qing soldiers surrounding the small hotel in the west of Beijing learned the lesson of the previous storm, and after requisitioning enough firewood from the neighborhood, they did not get too close to the houses of the small hotel, but piled the firewood into a firewood pile from a distance, and then lit it with pine oil torches, and only waited for the dry firewood in the firewood pile to burn strongly, and then threw it around the small hotel and on the roof.
It can be imagined how flammable the brick and wood structure houses in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were, and once a torch was thrown at the doors, windows, roofs, etc., it was inevitable that the house and a piece of building adjacent to it would be burned.
Of course, the actions of the Qing army were also seen by Guan Anji and Jia Laoliu, and the three of them were at a loss. Of course they knew that when the firewood burned brightly, it would be the day they would die, but what could they do?
It is definitely not possible to rush out, the archers of the Qing army outside have already opened their bows, whether it is the amazing knife skills of Jia Jindao or the sharp secret weapon of Uncle Guan Jialang, they can't block the blow of ten thousand arrows.
"What should I do? Is it impossible to wait to be burned to death like this?" Jia Lao Liu was the most anxious, knowing that his sister and brother-in-law would not have any tricks.
Guan Anji was silent, and said in his heart that it would be better to be burned to death like this, and he could still have a reputation for generosity and righteousness. It also saves the fact that his wife Hongxing will go out of the wall in the future, which will make the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society laugh.
Jia Jindao subconsciously looked at Qian Qingjian, I don't know why, she faintly felt that with this scholar present, things would not be too bad, this feeling came from her two misjudgments, the first time was when she faced the old eunuch and eight Buku, and the second time was when she faced more than fifty fast arresters, these two fights She was determined to die, but this big brother always said that it was okay, and the result was indeed dangerous, which proved her misjudgment of the situation and also proved the prophecy of this big brother.
So the question is, how does he know it's okay?
This time, Qian Qingjian didn't give Jia Jindao any more reassurance, of course he knew that Jia Jindao was watching him, although he was wearing an eye patch. But he didn't turn his face to look at anyone, his head was slightly bowed, facing the fine wine, fried liver, and belly on the table.
Jia Jindao couldn't find the first two times of relief in Qian Qingjian's place, so he had to reluctantly turn around to see the progress of the Qing soldiers outside, only to see that the fire had been lit, and the sound of "beep beep bo" was clearly audible, which showed that the dry firewood was dry.
In a few moments, the firewood burned into a small volcano, and some Qing soldiers, under the cover of archers, walked to the fire, intending to choose torches to throw.
"Let's go out and fight, it's better than being burned to death!" Jia Jindao was ruthless and proposed to launch a counterattack again.
Guan Anji picked up a shield that fell from the hole in the roof and said, "Okay, I'll hold the shield in front, you two are behind me, just rush into the archer array, kill a few and earn a few ......."
Jia Lao Liu snatched the shield from Guan Anji's hand and interrupted: "Brother-in-law, it's better for me to be in front." Then he pointed to the two shields on the ground and said, "You must also choose two pieces behind you."
The shield can't cover the whole body, and it is inevitable to launch a counterattack in the midst of random arrows, and it is inevitable to be shot in the limbs, especially the one who rushes to the front. But this is already a last resort, and it is better than being burned in a house.
Jia Jindao turned around and looked at Qian Qingjian again: "Big brother, do you want to rush out with us?"
This time Qian Qingjian gave the answer, he smiled and shook his head: "No need, no need, look at the fire." ”
Jia Jindao and the other three looked at the fire suspiciously, but saw an unbelievable scene.
The fire seemed to have encountered a strong wind, and it seemed to be twitched by an invisible force, and the tongue of fire was like a fire snake, devouring the Qing soldiers who were about to get firewood! The most strange thing was that the fire snake seemed to know where there were people and where there was no one, picking out the Qing soldiers to entangle!
No one had ever seen this kind of strange flame, the Qing soldiers had never seen it, Guan Anji and the Jia brothers and sisters had never seen it, and the people in the nearby neighborhoods who spied out had never seen it.
The screams were everywhere, and the scorching smell was permeated! And even more strange scenes continued to play out - the fire snake burned not only those Qing soldiers who wanted to get firewood and throw it, but also the bow and arrow arrays behind those Qing soldiers, and the cavalry camp, were not spared!
Once the experienced soldiers were affected by the flames, they immediately fell to the ground and rolled continuously, trying to extinguish the flames ignited by their clothes to no avail, because the fire snakes were always wrapped around the bodies of the three thousand Qing soldiers, whether they fell to the ground and rolled or fled far away.
"Is this God helping me Heaven and Earth Society?"
In the hotel, Guan Anji muttered to himself.
"It must be! Quick, let's hurry up and bow to the heavens, it was the heavens who saved the lives of our family!" Jia Jindao is character who does it when he thinks of it, and he has already prostrated on the ground while speaking, kowtowing and praying again and again.
Guan Anji and Jia Lao Liu also hurriedly followed suit and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Silence was overshadowed by the screams of nearly 3,000 sergeants outside, who struggled under the flames for only a cup of tea, and then fell silent again.
This street in the west of Beijing has completely become a purgatory on earth.
Guan Anji's family of three lay on the ground for a long time, and finally stood up, and when he turned to look at Qian Qingjian at the table, he saw that he was still drinking leisurely, Guan Anji couldn't help but scold: "God sent a heavenly power to help us escape, why are you so arrogant and ungrateful?"
Qian Qingjian ignored Guan Anji, but his face was Jia Jindao, took off his blindfold, and said: "Sister Jia, you are covered in blood again, don't be here when you want to rinse again, I don't want to drink with an eye mask all the time." ”
Jia Jindao looked at the front and back of him, couldn't help but feel ashamed, and said, "Big brother, I wronged you just now." ”
Guan Anji heard that his wife was so polite to this little white face, and his anger burned again, and he pointed at Qian Qingjian and said, "I ask you, why don't you respect God?"
Qian Qingjian smiled and said, "What kind of thing is God? I have not respected God for many years, but I can't kill him for a while." ”
"What?" Guan Jia's family was shocked and confused.
What shocked me was that this person really didn't know the height of the sky, and he actually dared to go against God, isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment? It is said that more than 20 years ago, Qian Qingjian, who was known as the god of martial arts, was killed by God.
What is bewildering is that this person actually claims to want to kill God, what is God like? Can he kill him? How to kill him?
