Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth the devil will come again
Everyone makes mistakes, but some people's mistakes are insignificant, while others have to pay a huge price, especially on the battlefield, a small mistake will be infinitely magnified, and this is also the case with generals.
When Ye An saw the party members evacuating from the wall of Wengcheng on the tower, he knew that the time was ripe.
The foot soldiers actually have only one goal, which is to rush from the wall of the main city to the gate tower of Wengcheng, cut off the mechanism and lower the gate-breaking stone.
The gates of the urn city are different from those of the main city. The biggest role of the urn city is to trap the enemy. It is important to trap the enemy with one move when necessary.
The door-breaking stone fell like thunder, and a few unlucky party soldiers were instantly smashed into pulp before they could scream. The red fireworks exploded amidst the screams and shattered into countless red stars scattered in the night sky.
Most of the party members had never seen such fireworks, so they couldn't help but look up, but there was a whistling sound in the dark night sky, and more than a dozen large wooden barrels fell from the sky and hit the ground and the crowd, breaking into countless pieces.
The wooden barrel broke and a pungent-smelling transparent liquid flowed out. The party members did not know what it was. Some people said it was fierce fire oil, but fierce fire oil was not so clear. It was just like water, but the smell was stronger.
"What does this smell like? It's too unpleasant!"
Some Party members felt dizzy when they smelled the volatile smell of gasoline for the first time, and some were so flustered that they couldn't help shouting: "This is poisonous water?!"
But more party members did not feel how scary these clear water-like things were, but the soldiers on the Wengcheng wall were retreating quickly. They had seen how powerful this thing called gasoline was.
A round of rockets rose into the sky and shot into the urn city. Under the hurried resistance of the party members, a huge fireball suddenly sounded with a roar. The hot flames burned everywhere, on the remains of the barrels, on the weapons, and on the shields.
, on leather armor, even on human bodies.
Only then did the party members realize the fear of this thing, but it was too late. The barrels filled with gasoline continued to fall from the sky and shattered on the ground. The fire was getting bigger and bigger and was difficult to extinguish.
Boom, as a wooden barrel exploded, the party members were horrified to find that a rain of fire was falling from the sky. Human beings, like other animals, have a deep fear of fire in their bones. The party members who were fleeing in all directions rushed towards the broken door stone in horror.
Blocked city gate.
The broken door stone did not completely seal the exit. On the contrary, it left some gaps. At first, Guan Wanshan and Pei Chengwen didn't understand why Ye An did this, but now they know.
The party members had no intention of fighting anymore, and had no way to fight anymore. The smell of barbecue was wafting everywhere in the barbican city, and people were being burned by the flames and screaming and wailing.
They were only thinking about how to get out of this hell on earth. The party soldiers, who were all on fire, rushed towards the gate of Wengcheng but were soon hacked to death by their own robes.
What would happen if such a burning man rushed over? It would be better to end his pain quickly with a knife.
The stampede occurred naturally, so that the already narrow exit was blocked again, the flames spread in the urn city, and the hot temperature even caused the city bricks to begin to deform.
The party soldiers in the Wengcheng howled in despair. Some of them collapsed and even waved their swords randomly to kill their own people, but they were quickly killed by their own people.
The gap that was originally a channel for life has now become a gap for death. Even so, barrels filled with gasoline are still being fired into the urn city because the order has not stopped.
The Song troops on the city wall did not need to aim at all. The only thing they had to do was to collect the crossbow arrows in their hands and shoot them into the urn city.
Ye An stood on the tower with his hands clasped. Even he was shocked by the raging fire. Although everything was planned, this inhumane massacre impacted human cognition and bottom line.
"If this continues, the party members will probably withdraw their troops, right? How about saving some gasoline?"
Chen Lin tentatively spoke from the side, "Even the Imperial City Superintendent, who is used to seeing dead people and thinks he has become hard-hearted, can't bear to stand it anymore. The appearance of the Dangxiang people is really too miserable. No wonder the Dangxiang people say that he is
Ye An was a "devil general", and among the burnt corpses there were even some who were leaning on the wall or showing signs of climbing, but their entire bodies had long since turned into charcoal.
"No, we must do the maximum possible damage. The more party members die, the safer it will be for Liangzhou Prefecture, and the more beneficial it will be for me to use troops in Ganzhou next!"
"What?!"
Chen Lin exclaimed, he did not expect that Ye Anfei not only had no intention of stopping, but also wanted to send troops to Ganzhou!
Seeing the twisted and struggling appearance of the Dangxiang people in the urn city, Chen Lin suddenly calmed down, and then looked back at Ye An's determined appearance. At this time, he was greatly shocked. Maybe he could really lead the Song army in Liangzhou City to defeat the Dangxiang people.
, Maybe we can capture Ganzhou.
Li Deming and Li Yuanhao, father and son, stared blankly at the blazing Wengcheng in front of them, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly swept from Li Yuanhao's heart to his limbs.
Growing up, he didn't know what fear was, but this time he knew it, and next to him, Li Deming's eyes were round and even the corners of his eyes were cracked.
Ten thousand people, nearly ten thousand party warriors, died in the battle of Liangzhou City. Years of battlefield experience allowed him to make calculations in the shortest time.
However, he only brought less than 30,000 people to Ganzhou this time. He only killed and injured more than 2,000 party warriors in the capture of Ganzhou, but he lost nearly half of them in the attack on Liangzhou City!
This was a siege battle, and more than ten thousand of the party's warriors actually died in Liangzhou City. This was not a defeat, and it couldn't even be called a tragic defeat. Normally, a defeat would bring back 80% of the remaining troops, but now almost all of the more than ten thousand people died in Liangzhou.
In the urn of the city!
"Ah! Little Ye An, I will eat his flesh and sleep on his skin! Pfft..."
"Kings?!"
Zhang Wen came back from the shock. The flames soaring into the sky gave him too much shock, and Li Deming's screams also made him wake up quickly. Seeing that Li Deming was about to decline and dismount, Zhang Wen rolled off his horse while screaming.
Li Deming acts as a cushion.
The situation is over, and now Zhang Wen is worried about the Song army fighting out of Liangzhou City. At this time, how can Dangxiang's army still have the strength to fight again? Even the Dangxiang people who did not participate in the siege looked miserable and full of fear.
I don't know when the title of "Demon General" spread among the army again. Against the backdrop of the fire, the faces of the party soldiers were full of horror. How could they have the strength to fight again?!
Now that Li Deming was vomiting blood and fell from his horse, Zhang Wen could only pray that the army could leave Liangzhou Prefecture quickly. At this time, Dang Xiangjun had no strength to fight again. He helped Li Deming and saw him raising his hand to point at Li Yuanhao. Zhang Wen immediately understood and grabbed Li Yuanhao's hand.
The arm said: "Young master, don't hesitate. The king is in such a hurry that there is no serious problem. The young master should take charge of the overall situation to keep the army's morale intact and lead the army to leave Liangzhou Mansion temporarily! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The pain in his wrist made Li Yuanhao wake up. Looking at his unconscious father, he bit the tip of his tongue. The severe pain brought him back to his senses. He immediately said to his left and right: "You are my father's personal soldiers. You know what to do. Send my father's military order to withdraw!"
"
The long and whimpering horn sound sounded again, and the sound of gold and iron clashing also appeared on the battlefield. The party members mounted their horses and began to retreat frantically. The light cavalry escaped at a particularly fast speed.
Fortunately, most of the troops used in this siege were infantry, and only a small number of cavalry participated. Because of this, the most elite cavalry was reserved for the Party Army.
The party members who receded like the tide did not know that a cavalry was quietly dormant on the road they must pass...
