Chapter 1139: Nobody Believes It(1/2)
The curtain soaked with tinder oil only wraps up a huge fire ball when it comes into contact with the rocket.
Before he could pull the curtain off the Eight-Nuo Crossbow, the Goguryeo soldiers were wrapped in fire in an instant.
Thrilling shouts spread throughout the battlefield outside Cangzhou City.
Dozens of Eight-Cow Crossbows were scattered throughout the battlefield, covered by dozens of huge curtains.
The wind leveraged the fire, and the curtain flames spread throughout the battlefield.
The retreat of the soldiers siege Goguryeo was completely cut off.
The Goguryeo soldiers who had already rushed to the gate of the city heard a sound from behind and looked back.
Before they could move, a huge curtain fell from the sky.
Cover their eyes.
Before they could break free, the rocket fell from the sky like raindrops.
The flames were wrapped in tincture, igniting all the curtains instantly.
The Goguryeo soldiers under the city tower ran desperately into their own formation, trying to escape.
The crowd was surging.
I don’t know how many people were wrapped in flames and burned to death by their companions.
More people ran back desperately and finally broke free from the fire, but suddenly they found that there were more fires ahead of them.
The fire has cut off all retreats.
The Goguryeo soldiers behind him didn't know that they kept rushing forward, and more people were knocked into the fire.
"General, save me!" a Goguryeo general and Huizhen shouted shrillly.
My body was already wrapped in a fire.
"I don't want to die!"
"Save me out!"
"I don't want to be burned alive!"
"Save me!"
On the battlefield, cries and begging for mercy sounded together.
Huizhen looked at her soldiers surrounded by the fire and collapsed to the ground with unconscious eyes.
Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him who were wrapped in the fire, he had no way to rescue him at this moment.
The remaining Huizhen soldiers saw that there was already a sea of fire in front of them.
His companions turned into Hokage, struggling and swaying in the sea of fire, but were gradually swallowed up by the fire.
I was already so scared that I even stopped breathing.
Many Goguryeo soldiers even got wet even their pants.
"It's so miserable, I don't want to come again!"
"I want to go home, I want to go home!"
"Mom, I will never come to Tang Kingdom again. They are all evil ghosts from hell and can eat people!"
Behind Huizhen, the Goguryeo soldiers all looked ahead in fear.
Many people even lost their weapons.
He shouted to go home.
"It's so cruel!" Xu Shiji stood on the city tower, looking at the fire in front of him, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that such a plan would be handed over to Li Jing by Zhao Chen.
Huizhen brought tens of thousands of people, except for the Goguryeo soldiers who did not participate in the siege.
Tens of thousands of people were almost all wrapped in the fire in front of them.
Tens of thousands of people were wailing in the fire and then burned to death before their eyes.
Li Jing let out a long sigh.
He finally knew why Zhao Chen wrote the words "Hell of Fire" on the note hell left to him.
Isn’t this huge fire in front of you the Hell of Fire!
And these punished enemies from Goguryeo!
"For this battle, except for Your Majesty, don't mention it to anyone that Zhao Chen came up with the idea." Li Jing looked at Xu Shiji and said in a deep voice.
Xu Shiji nodded.
He knew that Li Jing wanted to take on this infamy himself.
Throughout history, almost all generals with the title of slaughter have ended up not having a good end.
Li Jing was afraid that today's battle would hinder Zhao Chen in the future and even bring him a reputation to Zhao Chen.
"Actually, no one believes it if you say it."
"Who would have thought that a big fire would burn tens of thousands of people under Yuan Gai Suwen!" Xu Shiji said slowly.
Looking at the Goguryeo soldiers struggling in the fire below, Xu Shiji sighed softly.
"Yes, if I hadn't been directed by myself, I wouldn't have believed it. This was a plan that a teenager had come up with."
"It's a pity that Huizhen didn't come in, otherwise she could avenge her uncle!" Li Jing nodded and looked at Huizhen, who was sitting on the ground behind the flames in the distance, with a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
...
The fire burned all day long.
It was not until the evening that the fire slowly went out.
Within two hundred steps outside Cangzhou City, there were charred corpses, emitting bursts of foul smell.
The Tang army soldiers on the city tower covered their mouths and noses, looked at the corpses on the ground, and their faces were filled with relief.
They have been defeating the war since the two armies fought.
The people who lost are batch after batch.
Only today, after a battle, tens of thousands of people on the other side were burned to death.
The remaining fire was extinguished, the sun set on the top of the mountain, and the entire outside of Cangzhou City fell into a dead silence.
Only hundreds of Goguryeo corpse collecting teams outside the city were packing the bodies of the burned soldiers.
Under the slight light, you can even hear the crying sounds coming from afar.
"I didn't expect that this battle would end like this."
"This fire is so fierce!" On the city tower, a Tang soldiers rubbed their eyes, and seemed to be a little unbelievable.
"As soon as Duke Wei arrived, the situation turned around instantly." A soldier sighed.
"Actually, I think that such a plan is probably not what Duke Wei thought of. Of course, I am not questioning Duke Wei's ability."
"It's true that this plan is too ruthless. It seems that Duke Wei has never had such a precedent."
"That..." the soldier hesitated.
"That?"
"Are you talking about General Zhao?"
"What General Zhao is his Majesty's prince, and it is very likely that he is the prince of our Tang Dynasty!"
"But he is dead?"
"That's a rumor. Who has seen his body again? I heard that someone helped General Qin back to Chang'an. It was a man and a woman."
"Who else can you say, a man and a woman, besides General Zhao and his wife?"
"It makes sense. I heard that General Zhao has a good relationship with General Qin. Maybe this plan is to avenge General Qin!"
"Yes, yes, it's very likely to say that!"
On the city tower, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were whispering.
...
The emperor looked at the good news in his hand and his face was full of excitement.
Goguryeo's sudden attack made the emperor worried for a long time, even if Goguryeo couldn't break the city.
That will also cost them a lot of people!
But unexpectedly, in this battle today, except for the hundreds of Tang soldiers who were shot by the Baniu Crossbow, there were no other casualties.
On the contrary, Huizhen brought tens of thousands of people to attack the city, killing and injuring 70%.
Nearly 20,000 people turned into coke in the fire.
