Chapter 83 Burning the city, the fire ignites the prairie
After they appeared, they rushed to the city gate in unison, immediately closed the city gate tightly, and sealed the city gate with molten iron.
After doing all this, the soldiers once again quietly followed the pre-planned retreat route to the west gate, which was completely controlled by the Yongzhu Army. There were four city gates, and the only one was the west gate. The other three gates were sealed.
.
"What's going on?"
Tadun, who was outside the East Gate City, looked at the suddenly closed city gate, his expression suddenly changed, and he felt a sense of uneasiness.
"Come here, go to the city gate and check it out." Tadun immediately ordered to his bodyguards.
"yes."
The hundred mounted guards immediately moved on their horses and ran quickly towards the city gate.
After approaching the city gate, the vibration of horse hooves could be heard in the city, as well as many anxious shouts.
"Why is the city gate closed? Open the city gate quickly."
"General, the city gate was not closed by subordinates. It seems to have been closed suddenly, and... and the city gate is sealed with molten iron and cannot be opened."
"The Han army must have done it. There is an ambush in the city. Break the city gate quickly."
...
Hearing these anxious shouts, the expressions of the more than a hundred Wuhuan guards outside the city gate also changed drastically.
"Quick, go and report to Chanyu." Several cavalrymen immediately ran towards Tadun.
"Chanyu, it's not good."
"The city gate has been sealed, and General Su is trapped inside the city." The guard reported in fear.
"No, the Han people deliberately lured my army into the city. They have an ambush inside the city."
At this scene, Tadun finally figured it out, and a look of panic emerged: "Hurry, break open the city gate, everyone goes."
"yes."
The guards around Tadun did not dare to disobey, and all galloped towards the city gate.
And at this moment.
With the city gates on three sides sealed, Sun Ce's plan was completed.
"Have the soldiers in the city ever evacuated?" Sun Ce asked the general.
"Reporting to the general, they are all at the best evacuation point designed in advance. Once the fire attack starts, they can all evacuate." The general replied immediately.
"Okay, here's the general's order..." Sun Ce's eyebrows narrowed, and he said with endless murderous intent: "Burn the city!!"
Two words, endless murder potential.
Because what will be taken away are thousands of lives, and it is completely worth taking away nearly 70,000 lives of the alien Wuhuan in an empty city.
As for after burning the city, the Han court will resettle the original people of Yuyang City.
"promise."
All the generals responded in unison.
After that, the sound of arrows was still used as the command.
After an explosion.
The Han soldiers who were ambushing various places in the city also took action one after another.
Rooftops, wall corners, cellars of private houses, everything is hidden.
Of course, although they are widely dispersed, their number is not that large, only more than a thousand people.
It is important to know that it is easy to set a fire but difficult to put it out.
Now the entire Yuyang City is covered with fire-supporting objects. In no time, the flames will fill the entire city.
"Set off rockets."
"Burn the city."
Many soldiers took orders one after another, lit rockets, and fired them towards wine jars, houses, and various combustion-supporting materials.
Boo hoo hoo.
Yuyang, which was originally just an empty city, immediately became boiling with the appearance of the rocket, with firelight flying everywhere in the sky.
What looked like an ordinary rocket was like a life-threatening talisman in the eyes of the more than 60,000 Wuhuan soldiers in the city.
"Ambush, the Han army really has an ambush."
"They placed jars of wine and fire oil everywhere in the city. They wanted to burn the city and burn us alive."
"No, run away quickly..."
Seeing the rocket that was flying into the air and falling rapidly, the Wuhuan soldiers in the city were extremely frightened. Originally, Su Buyan could barely suppress it, but after the rocket took off, everyone just wanted to save their lives, and the scene in the city became extremely chaotic.
It's like the end is coming.
Tap.
More than a thousand rockets scattered across the city, breaking wine jars and landing on private houses and deliberately placed cotton bedding.
Suddenly.
There was a loud bang.
The flames started a prairie fire, and there was a faint sound of fire explosions.
Wow... The fire spread out, like a roaring fire dragon, raging through the city, quickly eating away at everything in the city. In this era, almost all houses were built with wood. Fueled by wine and kerosene, the fire spread rapidly.
It spread, and most of the city was engulfed in flames.
"Ah...save me...save me..."
"I don't want to die, ah..."
"Help..."
The fire spread, and the Wuhuan soldiers in the city fled one by one. However, mortal strength cannot resist the flames. As the saying goes, water and fire have no mercy. This is the case. Thousands of Wuhuan soldiers screamed and were swallowed up by the flames.
His whole body was burned into flames and he was running around in pain, and the entire Wuhuan army was in chaos.
Of course, this is just the beginning. When the fire fully spreads, the entire city will be enveloped in flames, and no one of the more than 60,000 Wuhuan soldiers will be able to escape.
"General Qi, the fire has been successfully lit. It doesn't take more than a stick of incense for the fire to spread throughout the city. By then, our army will be able to destroy the foreign army without a single blow." The general reported excitedly.
"Send the order, all soldiers should evacuate out of the city quickly." Sun Ce nodded seriously and then ordered.
"Promise." Many generals accepted the order and issued orders to withdraw from the city.
The soldiers hidden in the city took action one after another and began to retreat. The whole process was smooth and very fast.
And at this moment.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Su Puyan no longer had the arrogance to invade the city, only the fear of death. The city gate was sealed and his escape route was cut off.
It is even more impossible to break through the city with the help of the army stationed outside the city. The city gate that has been poured with molten iron cannot be broken open unless it is a heavy ordnance such as a city hammer.
"By the way, since the Han army set fire to the city, they will definitely leave a way out. As long as they find the Han army, they will have a chance of survival." Su Puyan thought suddenly and suddenly became happy.
"Don't be confused, don't panic."
"I have a way to rescue you. Come with me. Finding the Han army is the only way to survive." Su Puyan shouted loudly.
"yes..."
After hearing the words, many Wuhuan soldiers seemed to have found a backbone and followed Su Puyan one after another.
But he didn't know that after he figured out how to survive, Sun Ce led the Han soldiers in the city to evacuate. Only one city gate was left, and the only survival gate was sealed.
The nearly 70,000 troops will all be swallowed up by the flames in the city. This is the fate of the powerful man who violated the territory.
Anyone who offends our mighty Han Dynasty will die!
There is only this way.
outside the city.
"Pass this general's order to continue firing rockets into the city to help increase the fire." Sun Ce stared at the Yuyang City with thick smoke and ordered again.
"promise."
All the soldiers took orders in unison, bent their bows and arrows, and fired rockets towards the city, making the fire even more intense.
Since he is already a drowned dog, he must be beaten severely.
For poisonous snakes and jackals, the only option is to use the most ruthless means.
