It turned out that the wooden barrels around the camp were not only filled with kerosene, but the surface was also soaked in kerosene!
There were oil stains everywhere on the tents and on the ground. As long as a spark from the rocket splashed, it would immediately cause a fire to the sky.
Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Various explosions occurred one after another, and fires soared into the sky, turning into fire dragons roaring on the ground!
Whenever the fire dragon sweeps out, no one will be spared!
Jia Long and Ren Qi's armies were instantly in chaos, and all military morale was shattered in an instant.
Everyone, including the two of them, had only one idea.
Escape from the fire quickly!
In his panic, Jia Long did not forget to pay attention to Liu Zhang, but the place where Liu Zhang was before was already empty, and there was no trace of him!
"Soldiers, follow me and escape!"
Since there is a way to survive where Liu Zhang is, then as long as you follow the direction of Liu Zhang's evacuation, you will definitely be able to escape!
Jia Long firmly believed in this and immediately organized his soldiers to rush in one direction with him.
Unfortunately, the fire was too strong at the moment, and the team had already been blocked by the flames. The soldiers had already fled in all directions, and only a few thousand people gathered around Jia Long.
"Walk!"
Jia Long couldn't care about anything else. He found that Ren Qi had run away without a trace.
The slightest hesitation will only result in being turned into ashes by the fire dragon!
Unfortunately, Jia Long misjudged again. Just when he led his army to Liu Zhang's position, rockets shot into the sky from all directions.
Not only did the soldiers suffer countless casualties, but the entire ground was ignited into flames. Explosions were heard all around, and the flames began to rush everywhere again!
Jia Long's luck was extremely bad. Wherever he fled, rockets would attack! The fire dragon behind him seemed to have become spiritual and kept chasing after him.
"Ah! God will kill me too!"
Jia Long stopped in despair. He had no way to go now, and the flames had surrounded him!
Turning his head to look at the soldiers behind him, there were only a few hundred of the thousands left. The other soldiers were burned to death or fled.
"Liu Zhang, traitor! You set fire to the people of Shu County, you will not die a good death!"
"Vicious villain, you actually used such cruel methods to persecute Chengdu soldiers!"
"I, Jia Long, will never let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
Jia Long's path to life was cut off and he could only stand where he was and scold Liu Zhang angrily.
Unfortunately, the noise was too loud. No matter how loud Jia Long roared, it was difficult for Liu Zhang to hear him, not to mention that the fire had already reached his body.
"ah...!"
Jia Long was burned by the flames and began to run around wildly because of the pain, making extremely miserable screams.
"Liu... Zhang..."
In just a moment, Jia Long, who turned into a burning man, fell to the ground. After using his last strength to spit out two words, he completely lost his life.
As the instigator, Liu Zhang had no idea what was going on inside. He was intercepting the defeated troops at the east gate of the camp.
It can only be said that the soldiers' desire to survive is still very strong. More than 5,000 people have escaped one after another. These Chengdu soldiers, without exception, all surrendered to Liu Zhang.
After a night of bloody fighting, most of his physical strength had been exhausted. In addition, being chased by flames made his liver and gallbladder split with fear.
Now facing Liu Zhang's army who was waiting for him outside the camp, he had no will to resist at all.
What's more, Liu Zhang also offered them preferential treatment such that they could avoid death if they surrendered!
When the entire camp turned into a sea of fire and no one could escape, Liu Zhang also led his army to retreat.
Jia Long died, and the Chengdu soldiers were either killed or captured. There was no longer any resistance, and Chengdu could be taken at any time.
Although Ren Qi escaped first and his whereabouts are unknown now, it will definitely be difficult for him to escape completely.
Even if Ren Qi managed to escape, how many of Wuyang's 20,000 soldiers would be left?
If Wu Yang is lost, the entire Jianwei County will no longer be in danger!
"Lord, it seems that Jia Long will not come out."
There was not much joy in Huang Quan's voice, and there was a touch of sadness between his brows.
The same was true for Liu Zhang. He was about to get Shu County and Qianwei County, but he was not happy at all.
At this moment, Liu Zhang finally understood Zhuge Liang's mood when he burned the vine-armed soldiers.
If he had killed tens of thousands of people in battle, Liu Zhang might not be so melancholy, but burning these soldiers alive would indeed harm Tianhe.
The screams in the camp continued one after another, and each one went straight into Liu Zhang's mind, making him feel guilty.
"Hey, it's true that one general can accomplish everything..."
Liu Zhang didn't say much. He knew that if he wanted to dominate the troubled times, he must be ruthless!
Burning more than 10,000 people to death is nothing at all at the moment. Thinking about the future Battle of Chibi, more than 100,000 people may be burned to death!
Did Zhou Yu ever have any hesitation?
Maybe I have, but I was just hesitating how to burn more people!
"Evil is coming!"
Now that the camp is gone, Liu Zhang naturally can't spend the night in the open space, not to mention that Chengdu is already an empty city. If he doesn't take it now, when will he wait?
"The end is here!"
"Capture Chengdu."
Liu Zhang's tone was extremely calm, and he even said these four words without emotion.
"As you command!"
When Liu Zhang led his army to the city of Chengdu, a surprising scene occurred.
The city gates of Chengdu are now open!
Liu Zhang knew that there were no defenders in Chengdu, but he didn't expect that the city gates would be opened.
"Let's go into the city."
The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth rose slightly. He had already guessed the reason why the city gate was wide open.
After leading his army into Chengdu, his suspicion was indeed confirmed.
Zhang Suzheng led dozens of people to wait on both sides of the city.
"Jun Jiao, you opened the city gate, right?"
Zhang Su walked quickly to Liu Zhang's horse, and first bowed his hands in salute. "Zhang Su pays homage to Mr. Zhou Mu, Mr. Zhou Mu is wise!"
Mr. Zhou Mu...
When Zhang Su called him this, Liu Zhang still knew in his heart that the largest Zhang family in Chengdu had completely turned to him.
"Jun Jiao, with the city gates wide open like this, aren't you afraid that Jia Long will come back and cause trouble for you after he wins?"
According to Liu Zhang's knowledge, after Zhang Su returned to Chengdu, he rejected Jia Long's conquest and ordered all Zhang clan members to stay at home and not be involved in worldly affairs.
"Haha, there's a big fire outside the city. I know Lord Zhou Mu will win!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly. The movement in the camp was really quite big. With Zhang Su's eyes, he could really see the outcome.
"Jun Jiao, Jia Long was yelling in the city before he left the city. Was it you who gave him the idea?"
After asking this question, Liu Zhang had to complain in his heart that Jia Long was really stupid.
He was clearly planning to attack others by surprise, but instead he was trying to boost morale in the city. The noise was so loud that even Liu Zhang couldn't hear it.
It is important to boost morale, but the occasion must also be clearly distinguished. Jia Long himself is a sneak attack, and Liu Zhang's camp is so close!
"It was not my idea to report this to Lord Zhou Mu. Since I returned to Chengdu, I have not left my residence."
Who is it if it’s not Zhang Su?
Liu Zhang felt that with Jia Long's IQ, he would never think of boosting morale before going on an expedition.
The people who offer advice to Jia Long seem to be helping Jia Long, but in fact they are harming him!
"For the record, Lord Zhou Mu, before I leave, I swear to you that I would like to offer advice to Jia Long."
At this time, someone suddenly jumped out of the crowd and took the initiative to admit it.
