When the Huai Army was led by the governor Lu Si, when the Huai Army rushed to Andong from the north of Yancheng, Ma San, who was the Biaotong, was blocked by the Fujian gun soldiers led by Zheng Tai in the city. In a fit of anger, he even drove the tails of more than 300 mules with the "Yibuweiqi" as their troops, and drove them to attack the Fujian gun soldiers. As a result, they rushed to the Fujian soldiers in one fell swoop, and captured Lu Zhenfei, the governor of the Ming Cao Transportation, and the deputy general Zheng Zhibao and others alive.

This tactic, which is very similar to the Fire Bull Formation, was talked about by a group of Huai Army generals who couldn't read a word, and made Ma San even more famous as a famous general of the Huai Army.

Xia Dajun remembered this matter in his heart and staged an Andong fire attack in Jinan. The difference is that Ma San directly drove the mules and rushed forward, while Xia Dajun used a lot of tinder oil.

The turmeric oil was purchased by Gaoyou merchant Luo Yongnian for the Huai Army. It is said that it was produced in Yan'an, Shaanxi, and is also called Shiliu Water. It is undestroyed when it comes to water. In addition to the border troops used as a city guard, it is mostly sold to wealthy places such as the capital and Jiangnan for folk lighting.

However, due to the chaos of war, Shaanxi is now occupied by the Shun Army, so Luo Yongnian could not purchase on a large scale. He could only purchase about 1,000 jars through several middlemen, which cost less than 3,000 taels. Excluding half of the middlemen's profit, a jar of 30 kilograms of tincture oil weighing only a few dozen cents, which is very cheap.

Lu Si asked Luo Yongnian to buy tinea oil. He was originally planning to launch the Battle of Crossing the River to burn Zheng Hongkui's naval warships, but the Xia army was about to arrive at the First Town.

At that time, Lu Si asked Xia Dajun what he wanted to tinder oil, and Xia directly talked about fire attack.

Lu Si said oh, then approved the note and asked the rear to transport the turbulent oil through the canal to Jining, and then delivered it to Jinan by carriage.

This was still in July. At that time, King Lu had been sent to Nandu, so there was no need to cross the river to fight.

After more than two months, this batch of tincture oil was finally used by Xia Dajun.

Before deciding to attack with fire, Xia Dajun always hesitated whether to use tincture oil, because once tincture oil is used, it is likely to kill eight hundred enemies and damage one thousand of them.

Moreover, if he wants to achieve the effect of fire attack, he has to use all the thousand jars of turmeric oil on his hand, otherwise the fire is not enough and a fire belt cannot be formed, and the effect of killing enemies will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, until the end, Xia Dajun would not be able to make up this decision.

But now, he had to use fire attack, even if there were thousands of subordinates who had not had time to withdraw.

The Qing army's firearms were too strong. A row of guns hit him, and the Huai army fell in large numbers.

The sound of guns and killings in Jinan's western city stopped.

The originally rising fire also stopped.

The air is filled with a pungent smell of burnt and the smell of corpse oil that makes people fermented.

The fire attack of the Xia army worked.

Many of the Qing troops who were siegeing the city were buried in the sea of ​​fire, and kept rolling in the fire, but they could not extinguish the fire on their bodies. In the end, they were either burned to death or smoked to death.

After the Qing army withdrew from the city, the result of the counting of about 3,000 people were buried in the city, including more than 560 Manchu soldiers and more than 1,200 Han soldiers.

Aha wore armor and suffered the greatest losses. Only more than 400 Aha mobilized before the war were escaped, and the rest died in Jinan City.

The reason is that these Aha fights too bravely and are always ahead of the charge, but the most are surrounded by fire.

The losses of the Huai Army have not been counted for the time being, but they should not be less than those of the Qing Army.

It is very likely that he really killed eight hundred enemies and lost one thousand of himself.

After the fire, the "battlefield" from the collapsed Jinan city wall to the second earth wall, which was more than one mile long and less than one mile wide, the floor tiles burned their feet and the soil turned white.

The surviving Huai Army soldiers did not dare to pick up the knife on the ground because it was hot.

Some corpses were still emitting "hot steam", and some looked like smoke from cooking, emitting straight upwards in a slight light.

No mules carrying tinder oil survived, and all their manes burned out, leaving behind bare corpses with skin and ripe inside.

By the first earthen wall, hundreds of corpses were tilted or lying on the ground. The fire burned all their clothes. The bodies either turned into coke or were smeared from head to toe.

Some corpses can be identified by the Qing army or the Huai army from the traces of the fire on their heads, while others are directly unrecognizable.

There was a disgusting smell in the air.

It was extremely quiet, quiet, without any sign of life. Occasionally, the wooden handle of the spear burned half-parted made a thundering sound similar to the sound of stomping on a tree branch.

Xia Dajun, Qi Daizi and others were searching everywhere in the fire.

They were looking for Monk Xu.

It was the first fire that Monk Xu lit, but now, he can't find his person.

Just when Xia Dajun and others thought that Monk Xu was burned to death, they saw a collapsed piece of soil on the earth wall moving, and then one hand stretched out from the soil, and then the entire piece of soil was lifted upwards.

There should be a door hole below this collapsed earth wall.

"Save people quickly!"

Daizi Qi screamed excitedly, and everyone hurried forward to scatter the soil.

Soon, dozens of Huai Army soldiers covered in mud were pulled out by everyone, and there was indeed a door hole below.

The rescued Huai Army soldiers were breathing in big mouthfuls, not caring about how bad the smell in the air was.

Monk Xu was also among them.

He was still wearing iron armor, but he was burned half of the robe on it.

"Let me find some water and I'm so thirsty!" Monk Xu gasped and shouted at Daizi Qi, taking off his iron armor.

"Why didn't you suffocate you to death?" Xia Dajun looked at Monk Xu in surprise.

"Bless the Bodhisattva."

Monk Xu patted the mud on his butt. In fact, the skin on his butt was burned and there was no way. At that time, he buried his head in to save his life and forgot to put his butt in.

Or, your butt can't get in.

He insisted that Huo was burned, so he didn't dare to touch it now, for fear of pinching off a piece of his flesh.

Fortunately, the monk's butt was burned, but the injury was not serious because a layer of mud and armor on his butt protected his butt.

However, it is estimated that he will have to sleep on his stomach and not be able to sit down at least half a month.

There were seven or eight hundred Huai Army soldiers who survived the disaster from the fire. In addition to the two doors, more than 300 people were hidden, some of them were either buried in piles of dead people and used dead bodies to block the fire; they were either close to the second earth wall, or they were squatting in a corner that was not burned by the fire.

"So cruel?"

After scanning his eyes, Monk Xu chanted the Buddha's name with his hands. After drinking water, he carried the dead Huai Army corpses with the soldiers.

Many Huai Army soldiers carried the bodies in tears. Some of them gently pulled them, and the blood-colored flesh fell off the bones.

"It's a sin, this fire can kill many of us."

Monk Xu shook his head and asked Xia Dajun with his face, "If you want to repent to the Buddha, I can satisfy you."

After saying that, he pulled the kapok robe that was left with only half of it forward, put his hands together, and looked at Xia Dajun seriously.

"You pay your debt yourself."

Xia Dajun raised his legs and walked all the way to the moat.
