Seeing Situ Tai becoming more and more arrogant, Murong Cheng said angrily: "Boy, come and attack the city if you have the ability? What's the use of just talking nonsense? My soldiers have been fighting hard all day, so I won't argue with you boy tonight. Tomorrow
At dawn, you and I will meet again. At that time, I will definitely twist your head off."
Situ Tai laughed wildly and said: "Old thief Murong Cheng, you think your subordinates can put out the fire in the city. You take it for granted. My general's methods are not so easy to deal with. You know, in order to deal with you, I am Lian Si."
Shuiguan has been abandoned. If there is no result tonight, I will kill myself here without you, old thief Murong Cheng, taking action."
"Huh?" Murong Cheng, Zhang Tu and Zhong Yan all turned their heads to look. Suddenly, their faces turned pale. Hot and cold sweat broke out on their heads. When they looked back, they saw fires rising into the sky everywhere in the entire city.
Didn’t Qi Lin, the former army general, go put out the fire? Why?
How could this happen? How did the fire burn? The expressions of the generals and commanders all changed drastically, and they were very puzzled. However, at this time, everyone knew that Situ Tai's backhand had already shown its power. Judging from the current situation
, the fire in the city is probably inextinguishable.
Seeing the thick smoke billowing over Sishui Pass, the soldiers in the city suddenly started to commotion. The thick smoke billowed and there were flames everywhere. Because it was burning kerosene, it was extremely difficult to blow it. Then under the action of kerosene, everything in the city could burn.
all
was ignited. Because the arson of King Yong's army was generally from south to north, and in addition, it was still surrounded from the surrounding to the middle. In other words, it was necessary to separate the Qi army in the city and outside the city.
And they will be burned to death in it.
"Hateful! Hateful! Damn it!" Murong Cheng looked at the entire Sishui Pass that was red in the dark night, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and roared angrily. If this continues, the defenders in the city will basically be useless.
Not to mention, his plan to break through Sishui Pass and the western part of Yongzhou also completely went bankrupt.
As the fire in the city grew stronger, the fire in Murong Chenglin's heart also burned fiercely. Qi soldiers were seen running around in the city, and some soldiers were even seen digging sand on the ground to cover up the fire under Qi Lin's command. It was tragic.
The shouts and shouts continued, and Murong Chenglin's clenched fists were about to bleed.
Outside the south of the city, the rear army and the commander-in-chief of the middle army in the Qi army camp also saw the situation in the city. However, they were unable to do anything at this moment and could only slowly start to extinguish the fire at the city gate to prepare for the retreat of King Qi.
The next way to go is so that King Qi won't be buried in the sea of fire.
"Your Majesty, I can leave the mountains without worrying about firewood. My top priority now is to leave here immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. Your Majesty..." Zhong Yan persuaded him urgently. He made Murong Cheng's face livid, and his fists were dripping with water.
With drops of red blood, he hurriedly advised. Judging from the current situation, if he didn't evacuate quickly, he might really be left in the sea of fire or become a prisoner of Situ Tai.
Murong Cheng sobered up a little. He looked back, drew out his long sword, and shouted sternly: "Brothers, the enemy is burning the city with fire. Instead of being burned alive in the city, it is better for you to rush out with me and join the brothers outside the city.
.We rush out and still have a chance of survival. If we stay here, we can only wait for death."
"I will obey your prince's military orders!" The generals and soldiers around Murong Cheng shouted yes. They formed groups one after another, climbed down the city wall, turned around and left towards the south of the city.
"Whoever comes, immediately send an order to Qi Lin in the city, asking them to evacuate to the south of the city and ignore the fire in the city." Murong Cheng then told the order soldiers around him.
"Report... to report to your lord, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp in the north of the city. Fifty thousand soldiers have been trapped in a sea of fire and cannot be rescued." At this moment, a horseman quickly reported.
"Damn it! Situ Tai, you should be cut into pieces with knives!" Murong Cheng shouted angrily after hearing this.
"My lord, you should retreat first and keep the soldiers behind. If you have no choice, let them surrender to the enemy." Zhang Tu couldn't help but said after countless soldiers were thrown into panic.
"Okay, all the civil servants and the powerless civil servants will go ahead with me, and give orders to the brothers who stayed behind, saying that I am sorry for them. If they really can't escape, let them surrender. I will not
Blaming them is a last resort and it is all my fault." Murong Cheng said bitterly.
Murong Cheng led his personal guards and all the cavalry in a hurry through the city. At this time, the surrounding fire had not been completely released, so people could still pass. Of course, you need to cover your mouth and nose, otherwise, nothing good will happen.
As a result, the city gate opened at the south city gate
Later, the wind surged, and the fire at the city gate became more intense. Dozens of people in the front were immediately burned to death. Murong Cheng was shocked and was about to retreat when the soldiers outside the city began to scream. Then Murong Cheng gritted his teeth and whipped fiercely.
The mount whipped and rushed out.
Afterwards, the personal guards, civilians and cavalry who followed Murong Cheng rushed out one after another, gradually and intermittently as if they rushed out from inside. However, compared with the original 130,000 soldiers in the city, this was not possible at all.
It's just a drop in the bucket.
After Murong Cheng left first, the defenders in the north of the city were even more confused, because they were the farthest from the south gate and could not pass with their legs. More importantly, it seems now that they could not tell the difference between the east, west and north.
Orientation. So even if you can walk, you will still lose your way. After all, they are not very familiar with this Sishui Pass.
After some discussion, several officers ordered the soldiers to fly a white flag at the top of the north city and surrender to King Yong's army, hoping to be accepted. Besides, this was also a way of survival left for them by His Highness King Qi.
"Fortunately, there are no ordinary people in this Sishui Pass, otherwise, our sins would have been huge." Looking at the red Sishui Pass ahead and the fire becoming more and more fierce, Situ Tai couldn't help but sigh. The general beside him also returned
Before I had time to make an excuse, I saw flying cavalry from the front reporting: "The remnants of the Qi army on the northern city wall have lowered their flags to beg for surrender. Please make your decision, general!"
"Yes!" Situ Tai ordered in a cold voice.
When a trace of whiteness finally appeared in the east, the darkness finally began to subside. The day of the new earth has arrived again, but for many people, this will be the last day of their lives!
Zhang Tu took a deep breath. The air was filled with suffocating heat. Although he was a hundred steps away, he could still clearly feel the scorching heat. It can be imagined that inside the current Sishui Pass
How scorching it must be! When he thought that the nearly 100,000 elite Qi soldiers in the city were about to turn into ashes, Zhang Tu's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Creak, creak, creak...!"
The slightly burned city gate suddenly opened, and a group of Qi soldiers rushed out from the city gate. However, they ran forward less than ten steps, and the flames all over their bodies burned because they suddenly saw the air.
It got even worse. It swallowed up these soldiers in an instant.
First, the robes and hair on the soldiers burned. The soldiers who had not yet died were rolling and struggling in the sea of fire. From time to time, they let out bursts of extremely miserable howls. It was terrifying to hear. Within a moment, the air was full of
The aroma of barbecue began to spread.
In less than a meal, dozens of soldiers and their riders were reduced to ashes. Only the armor on the soldiers was burned red, but it still maintained its original shape.
There was a sound of inhalation from the soldiers outside the south gate. All the soldiers, especially the rear army and middle soldiers who stayed outside the city, were frightened by this terrible scene! At this moment, the whole city
Shuiguan has already burned into a city of flames! The ground fire that could not be put out in the city has completely spread, igniting the wooden houses and thatched huts in the city.
All the soldiers who were still alive were forced to gather into narrow areas within the city wall. Only in this small area, thanks to the efforts of the soldiers, the fire has not spread yet, and they can still stay for the time being, but it won't be long.
The fire that spread quickly would burn to the base of the city wall, so the soldiers crowded towards the city tower like crazy. From time to time, unlucky soldiers were squeezed down from the city tower, either breaking their arms or breaking their legs.
.
The situation has become chaotic, and now even gods descending to earth will be unable to reverse the situation. Time is passing by, and the spreading flames are getting bigger and bigger. Many soldiers suffocated to death in two days due to lack of oxygen.
"boom……"
The section of the West City, due to the scorching heat and the crowds of people on the city wall, was not a key defense target in the first place. Therefore, the city wall that was not strong enough could no longer withstand the heavy pressure and collapsed.
In the scorching smoke and dust, the soldiers who crowded the city were instantly killed in a sea of flames.
On the southern section of the city wall, General Mo Wen of the left army desperately grabbed a piece of wood protruding from the city tower and swung it back and forth in the air like a swing. The city tower under his feet had collapsed and was now a red mess.
The sea of fire, choking smoke and scorching flames were rising suddenly, making him breathless.
"Liu Yu, Liu Yu, save me...save this general..."
Mo Wen desperately called for help, but Liu Yu, his former good subordinate who was close at hand, made no response and just stepped back desperately.
Feeling that his arms were gradually becoming weak, Mo Wen was startled, and then he used up the last remaining strength to leap forward, and finally threw himself on the slope of the broken wall. He barely grabbed Liu Yu's calf, then raised his head and gasped:
"Liu Yu, quickly... pull me up. When I go back, this general will definitely reward you generously."
"Damn it, you can't even keep your name now, why are you talking about rewards? What's more important than your name." Liu Yu cursed, and instead of pulling Mowen up, he kicked him mercilessly.
On Mo Wen's face, Mo Wen groaned and weakly released his hands. His whole body fell from the broken wall and was instantly swallowed up by the billowing smoke. In the haze, Mo Wen was swallowed up by the fire.
"Boom boom boom..."
Due to long-term moxibustion, the fragile houses and some weak buildings in the city could no longer withstand the heavy pressure and collapsed one after another. In the smoke and dust that filled the sky, some soldiers crowded in the corners of the houses fell to the hot rubble.
In the pile, before these poor soldiers could get up from the pile of rubble, the choking smoke and red fire rushed up again through the rubble barrier, and soon engulfed everyone.
Amidst the endless wailing, the exhausted former general Xiang Lin stood up desperately, but was quickly stepped on by the rebel army. When his face was pressed against the rubble, Xiang Lin clearly felt the pain.
There was a burning pain, green smoke rose from the side of his face, and he could even hear the sizzling sound of the flesh on his face being scorched.
Choked by the thick smoke, he opened his mouth vigorously and tried hard to take in a breath of air, but the burning in his chest did not ease, as if there was a fire burning. He looked at Lin in a daze with suffocating boredom.
A red flame burst out around me, like a burning sea of fire. Countless soldiers of our own side were struggling and wailing in the sea of fire...
"Why? Why is this happening?"
Xiang Lin groaned unwillingly, was he really going to die here? The next moment, heavy darkness struck, completely swallowing Xiang Lin. The dignified former army general, who commanded 50,000 Qi army soldiers, was swallowed up by the flames.
, like countless soldiers, died here.
The flames continued to burn. Separated from the Bishui Pass, the Qi army and the Yongwang army faced each other in the north and south. However, the moods of the two were different. At this moment, Situ Tai relaxed the biggest pressure in his heart. He won this battle.
.In this Sishui Pass, his fire can be said to have burned one hundred thousand soldiers of the Qi army, which is basically three-fifths of the current Qi army on the front line of Sishui Pass.
In other words, as far as the Qi army outside Sishui Pass is concerned, the opponent no longer has an advantage in terms of strength comparison. From now on, they have the upper hand on the front line of Sishui Pass, while the Qi army is at a disadvantage. So, from now on,
From now on, they can fight back at Sishui Pass. They can suppress the Qi army and fight without fear of anything.
For Situ Tai, this is only part of the harvest. After today's battle, he, Situ Tai, occupies a more important position in Situ Lei's heart. His victory today, Situ Tai, will also occupy more positions in the army.
The right to speak.
Not to mention, the more than 50,000 soldiers at Sishui Pass have begun to admire me from top to bottom. Even Su Yang, the defender of Sishui Pass, has begun to turn to his side. So, how far away is he from King Yong?
How far is it?
In comparison, the Qi army's camp south of Sishui Pass was much depressed at the moment. Murong Cheng was living alone in the commander's tent, feeling unhappy. A huge amount of effort was spent on this battle. In order to achieve the best effect, he
Everyone suffered heavy losses during the siege of Hulao Pass. However, in order to mobilize Huli this time,
The success of the mountain strategy, in order to win the surprise attack, he still gritted his teeth and commanded his soldiers to attack. But what was the final result? He suffered a miserable defeat here, which was unacceptable to him. His hard-working actions turned out to have already known the opponent's intentions.
In sight, one hundred thousand soldiers were lost this time, but the loss was too great to be lost any more.
