Chapter 381 Burn, Burn, Burn
With the silver bullet clearing the way, the veteran General Zhao Hongyin led his troops and easily killed the Dading Prefecture of Zhongjing in Liao Kingdom.
Although the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty pursued the four seasons of Nabo and had no place to live. However, Zhongjing Dading Prefecture was still the nominal capital, and many Khitan nobles, relying on the Khitan tribal leaders, merchants who came from the Western Regions gathered in such cities.
How magnificent should a vast empire with a size several times that of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
When we didn't see each other, everyone was full of imagination, believing that even if they were not as good as Kaifeng, they would be better than Youzhou, and even if they were not as good as Youzhou, they would be better than Shunzhou...
But all the beautiful imaginations were shattered after witnessing them with their own eyes. Zhongjing is not small in size, but the city wall is only more than ten feet high. The foundation built with stones is covered with bricks, and the city wall is not wide, less than ten feet high. As for moats, enemy buildings, horse faces, fortresses... there is no such defense facilities.
It seems like a market that has been encircled, with no rules at all!
Zhao Hongyin gritted his teeth, and he became more and more angry!
How capable can the Khitan savage have!
They only know how to loot, so where can they build cities, fortresses, and create wealth?
But such a group of savages have been raging for decades. Not only Yan Yun said that, they also captured Kaifeng and ran to the Central Plains to ascend the throne and become emperor. There was even more despicable and shameless Shi Jingtang respecting the Khitan Emperor as his father!
It's simply a shame to the Central Plains!
"Soldiers, it's time to avenge their previous shame. Listen to my orders and attack the city!"
"Siege!"
"Siege!"
The knight rode his horse and shouted loudly.
The soldiers were so energetic that they were exhausted from the long journey, but no one wanted to miss this battle at this moment. Putting the capital of the Khitan at his feet, Yan Ran earned his merits, and made great contributions in foreign lands. The feats in history books were about to be realized in our hands!
One day, maybe we will be written into history!
Chen Ming, Xu Jie, Liang Hongcai, and many soldiers were all excited and looking forward to this moment!
Twenty crossbows were pushed out from the Great Zhou people and aimed at Dading Mansion.
"put!"
One by one, the jars filled with explosives drew beautiful arcs and hit the city walls of Dading Mansion.
In an instant, explosions were everywhere, dust was flying, and bricks and stones kept falling.
"put!"
The soldiers who controlled the crossbow chariot kept adjusting their angles, and their attacks became more and more sharp.
boom!
Finally, the city gate collapsed, the weak defense was torn open, and the city was exposed to everyone!
"kill!"
Liang Hongcai was the first to rush out. Relying on his superb horsemanship, he seemed to be an arrow flying, and quickly rushed to the city gate.
The Khitans fought hard, and the arrows kept shooting out, landing on Liang Hongcai, making a bang sound. The plate armor defended most of the arrows, but arrows were also embedded in the body.
Strangely, Liang Hongcai couldn't feel the pain, and only bloody and crazy left in his eyes!"
"kill!"
He shouted loudly and rushed forward to a Khitan general. The saber slashed from top to bottom. The opponent subconsciously blocked it, but he slashed it in half and the body fell to the ground.
Liang Hongcai didn't know that the person he killed was named Nu Li, who was the Flying Dragon Envoy of the Khitan!
The Flying Dragon Envoy is an official who raises horses for the emperor, so don’t underestimate those who raise horses. People and horses, together with horses in all generations, mean power.
The founding lord of Qin was rewarded because he made great contributions to raising horses for the Emperor of Zhou.
The Taipu Temple ministers who were responsible for raising horses in all dynasties were one of the nine ministers, and there was also the more powerful Imperial Horse Supervisor. They were in charge of the seal and were the Minister of War, but the great sects in the inner court were extraordinary.
So the Jade Emperor gave Monkey Bi Ma Wen. He was not a small official, but the monkey didn't know the goods and didn't know what was right...
The girl was Xiao Siwen's best friend. Xiao Siwen led his troops south to attack Youzhou. The girl stayed in Zhongjing and guarded Xiao Siwen's house. This man was originally going to inspect the horse farm and had just brought back a group of very good war horses from the Western Regions. The girl arranged special personnel to raise them. After some time, he would breed the Khitan mares and breed powerful war horses.
After losing Youzhou, the Khitan attached more and more importance to riding and shooting skills. They already knew very well that war horses were the only thing leading the Great Zhou Dynasty and must not be lost!
The girl came back with a good mood. Among these war horses, he found a sweat-blooded horse covered in light gold. She was extremely majestic, comparable to the legendary horse.
The saliva of the woman was flowing out of her old age, but this horse was too strong and she was not allowed to ride it. The woman thought about waiting for a while, taking time to train hard, and making sure to make the divine horse surrender.
But he never expected that as soon as he returned to Zhongjing, he encountered troops from the Great Zhou attack. He hurriedly led his troops to fight, but was killed by another soldier.
This dragon envoy was completely wronged.
Liang Hongcai didn't care about those things. He was the first to rush into Zhongjing, with the knife in his hand frequently waving, and the Khitans were killed by him and retreated step by step.
He yelled proudly, with the ability to first arrive, he could get a commander back!
Xu Jie also killed in. He was only one step later than Liang Hong, and was furious.
What should I do if my first merit is robbed?
His eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea. He greeted the brothers beside him and rushed forward against the city wall. After rushing out about 200 steps, Xu Jie immediately turned his horse's head and rushed straight to the center of the city.
Although I have never been to Zhongjing, Xu Jie knew that no matter where he went, the most important place must be in the center of the city.
It’s true that Xu Jie was right to bet.
He led his men and horses to the mansion of the King of North Court.
There were elite guards of the Session Army here. Xu Jie attacked twice but did not break in. He simply asked his brothers to prepare something to cause fire, but set fire on a large scale.
Not long after, the mansion of the King of the North Courtyard was trapped in a sea of fire. Not only here, but also the surrounding neighborhoods followed, with fire snakes flying around and fireballs flying all over the sky.
Zhongjing's backwardness is not only reflected in urban construction, but also in countless details.
For example, Kaifeng has open channels and drainage ditches, and water wells are available in each block. The buildings are mainly bricks and tiles, and walls are also set up to isolate fires.
Once a fire occurs, water can be taken from everywhere to put out the fire. The people of the yamen runners were also told to pay attention to fire prevention.
A huge city is very delicate to manage and must be comprehensive. Otherwise, a little mistake will have terrible consequences.
As for Zhongjing, it is not just a mistake. The buildings in the city are low and mostly wooden buildings. Many poor people cannot even afford to build adobe houses. They can only use cattle and sheep skins to surround a shed. To put it bluntly, there is no difference between them and tents.
How can such a building withstand a fire?
What's even more terrible is that there are a large number of livestock, cattle, sheep, horses, and excreted feces piled up into small hills. As we all know, dried cow dung can be used as fuel.
And in the city of Zhongjing, there are mountains of cow dung everywhere.
It is not a big mistake for the Khitan Emperor to choose the Four Seasons Nabo, and he would change his place every few months. If he stayed in Zhongjing, the stench of feces alone would be able to kill him.
At this moment, everything in the city turned into fuel, including the people in the city, who ran in the fire and let out desperate roars. Some people were covered with flames, and as they ran, they fell to the ground, and soon turned into a pile of black charcoal. Some people were pressed on the ground by collapsed houses and trees, and were burned to death.
Xu Jie is like a naughty boy, setting fires everywhere and having a lot of fun.
And the one who burns the happiest is a tiger!
He waved his torches wildly and lit the buildings one by one.
"Burn, burn, burn your turtle nest!"
A tiger screamed wildly. This was the case with the Khitans, who killed his family and burned his hometown. I waited for this day for twenty years!
This Zhongjing city should not be left on the earth, it must be turned into ashes!
A tiger ignited a large area of blocks, ignited the emperor's palace, ignited the inn and merchants... He burned everything he could see.
The Khitans were wailing in despair and fleeing desperately. In the eyes of a tiger, they were simply the best music, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The same is true for all members of the Hu killing team. They not only set fires, but also killed people, pushing any Khitans who were trying to escape into the fire.
A tiger turned a street and suddenly found several Khitan cubs, one of whom held a dagger high and a Zhou soldier was lying under him.
A tiger threw the javelin out without thinking, just piercing through the little boy's chest, and blood rushes. The boy fell straight to the ground. The other few were so scared that they ran away, but were blocked by the Killing Team, and none of them were let go.
They helped the soldiers on the ground up and checked their injuries.
The soldier's weakness was penetrated, and blood stained his lower body red. He gritted his teeth and was already unconscious. Fortunately, he was caught by a tiger, otherwise he would be alive!
This young soldier is not unfamiliar with a tiger. He was the one who accused a tiger of killing the old man and was slapped by Xu Jie at that time.
Unexpectedly, he was filled with sympathy again and couldn't bear to have a few kids burned to death, so he wanted to let them go.
But the soldier didn't know that the little boy's parents and family were burned to death, and he was left with only hatred, hating all Zhou Bings!
No matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, they just want to take revenge.
The biggest one took advantage of the soldiers' inattention and stabbed him into the weak spot with a dagger. Several brothers pressed him to the ground together. If a tiger had not arrived in time, he would have been a corpse!
"Grandma, Xu Jie really made sure that you owe me my life!"
A tiger was so angry that he gritted his teeth, allowing people to send the injured soldiers away. There were too many places where there was no fire. He needed to completely destroy the city! Turn it into a scorched earth!
burn!
Burn everyone to death!
Burn all the buildings!
As the main force young and strong were transferred, there were only tens of thousands of elderly, weak, women and children left in Zhongjing, which could not stop the Great Zhou people who were like wolves and tigers.
In just one day, Zhongjing had turned into ashes. The veteran general Zhao Hongyin rarely showed a satisfied smile, "Go and send someone to send good news to the marquis!"
Chapter completed!
