The raging fire spread rapidly in Yingdu City!
Sima Cuo and others were standing on a high place, overlooking the whole city with great satisfaction. Their hearts were filled with the high spirits of trampling the huge Chu Kingdom under their feet. They thought that the achievements of the ministers had reached their peak today... I just happened to see it. How the fire started!
"Captain! Look!" A Qin general's eyes widened, pointing downwards and shouting.
Sima Cuo took a breath!
Hold the grass!
Almost at the same time, many fires broke out in the city!
Even a fool can see that this is not an accident!
The speed of the flame spread far exceeded Sima Cuo's expectation. At this moment, Gongsun Xi's face twisted and he shouted hoarsely in a tone that was not like a human voice: "Black smoke... this is kerosene!"
The truth is revealed!
Countless fire oil has been poured into the city.
At the sight of sparks, fires soared into the sky.
Xiong Wuliang abandoned the city and left... not because he was afraid of death.
Instead, they used the huge capital city of Ying as bait, and used the countless treasures in the city as bait... to make the 280,000 coalition troops obey and take the initiative to get into this huge 'corpse cremator'!
Sima Cuo was horrified, his fingers trembled slightly, and the waves in his heart surged wildly, he was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked!
Xiong Wuliang, what a madman!
This fire is not burning on the enemy's territory, nor is it even burning in an ordinary city... This is your own royal city of Chu!
The memorial tablets and memorial tablets of your own ancestors, Mi Liang, are all still in the city... The royal palaces, ancestral temples, pavilions, palaces, and treasury granaries of Chu State are all in the city... Do you really dare to set off this fire?
Oh my God!
Sima Cuo suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
Too.
Only the capital of Chu State, Yingdu, could fully lower its vigilance.
Only the massive loot in the royal city of Yingdu can tempt the 280,000 coalition soldiers to swarm in!
If it were an ordinary city - Sima Cuo would definitely act cautiously and send only a small number of troops into the city.
But Yingdu was too big and too rich.
No matter which army is kept out of the city, that army will be extremely dissatisfied - not to mention how much loot can be grabbed in the city's "three days of plunder"; just the title of "stepping into the enemy king's capital" is An honor that no coalition soldier can resist.
This is a tempting enough bait, but also a deadly bait!
"Guowei!" Bai Qi's voice on the side was hoarse, and his eyes were flashing with terrifying flames: "This is Mi Liang's treacherous plan!"
"Little Mi Liang, you are so evil!"
"He actually wants to burn my 280,000 coalition troops at the expense of his own royal city!"
Sima Cuo had no time to think about it and immediately shouted an order: "Put out the fire! Put out the fire! Isolate the fire extinguishing zone..."
Because of the extreme shock, Sima Cuo's voice was distorted and sharp.
There is no trace of his usual poise.
The order was issued... but the 280,000 coalition troops were scattered in the streets and alleys of Yingdu, and they were having a great time robbing them. How could they hear Sima Cuo's order?
The fire is still spreading.
Sima Cuo's heart felt cold, and he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
Xiong Wuliang, you are really scheming!
Countless treasures were abandoned in the city - I thought the Chu people had retreated in a hurry and had no time to take them away.
Now it seems that it is also a part of Xiong Wuliang's conspiracy!
After the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces entered the city, they would surely loot—these goods were the bait—to induce the soldiers of the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces to scatter and plunder, without any order at all.
At this time, the fire will be sacrificed...
What a profound calculation! What a cruel thought!
He had calculated almost all the favorable conditions in advance, and was full of evil intentions to burn the entire Ying capital to the ground together with the 280,000 coalition soldiers!
"Little Mi Liang! Despicable!" A Qin general shouted in fear.
"I don't dare to fight head-on, and yet I resort to such a low-level conspiracy!"
Gongsun Xi and Bao Yuan almost hugged each other, their faces full of horror and fear, they were shrinking and trembling, unable to even utter a single word.
Deep regret echoed in the hearts of the two of them!
Marquis of Quyang, he is indeed the Marquis of Quyang...
I had already thought about it at the beginning - I must never confront Quyang Hou.
When Xiong Wuliang just came out of the mountain, we should have turned around and left!
Relying on the absolute advantage of military strength, confidence suddenly rises...
The mouse had a gun in his waist, and he wanted to shoot the cat - he wanted to have a shot at Xiong Wuliang...
The raging fire spread rapidly and had already burned into residential areas - many soldiers of the Qin, Wei and Han Dynasties were caught off guard and trapped in the houses that suddenly burned down. They were on fire and screamed.
Gongsun Xi almost cried! If Xiong Wuliang was right in front of him, he would even want to rush up and give him a few bangs.
Marquis Quyang, let us go!
I won't play anymore! I want to go home!
…
The stupid King Huai of Chu finally understood at this moment.
It turns out that my nephew has such a plan!
At this moment, King Chu's heart was very complicated.
On the one hand - Yingdu is the royal capital of the Chu Kingdom with a long history, especially the pavilions and pavilions in the palace, many of which contain legends left by the previous kings.
In addition, the ancestral temples and spiritual thrones of the ancestors of the past dynasties...
The grass was actually set on fire like this! ?
It would be fine if the enemy brutally set fire to the city... But this fire was set by our Lao Mi family?
If our ancestors were alive, they would not have jumped out of their graves, tied the unlucky current King of Chu and that boy Xiong Wuliang together, surrounded them and beat them with canes...
Ahem!
But on the other hand——
The Chu army has few major generals. This is the only way to hope to deal a heavy blow to the 280,000 invading enemies!
This war has reached this point, and the Chu State has been severely weakened.
Even if winter is about to enter...if the Qin people send troops again next year, it will still be a disaster.
The only way to do this is to use all our strength to keep all the 280,000 coalition troops behind - not only greatly boosting the morale of the people and avenging countless wronged souls in the Huainan Plain, but also making the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han unable to fight again in a short period of time. Win precious time for Chu State to recuperate!
Mihuai's mood was complicated, and her face suddenly turned gloomy and clear.
After a long time, he let out a long breath of relief.
Perhaps, this is already the best way.
Looking at the generals of Sima Cuo who were already in chaos...the last trace of haze was swept away!
Aren't you crazy? Don't you want to defeat the Chu State?
Smile! Are you going to laugh again?
Looking at the wonderful expressions of these generals - if he were not under the control of the enemy, our King Huai of Chu would almost burst into laughter!
Marquis Quyang, Marquis Quyang, it is you indeed!
If I can still get out of trouble and return home, I will definitely give you a huge reward! Duke Jin and Tuo Wanhu are no exception!
…
The fire is still spreading.
Sima Cuo's order was still difficult to deliver effectively.
The soldiers of Qin, Wei and Han who noticed that the fire was not good were only a handful... most of them were still searching and looting excitedly.
Sima Cuo's face was ashen and his mind was spinning rapidly.
What should we do to regroup our forces as soon as possible?
The situation is extremely critical!
If we delay for a moment longer, the fire in the city will be out of control... I am afraid that the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces will suffer countless casualties!
Finally, Bai Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the collar of the messenger on the side, and roared firmly and ordered -

(Yimi: Due to personal problems some time ago, I was tortured so much that I couldn’t sleep during the day and night, and the updates have been very slow...Hey, I have finally adjusted it a little bit. Thank you brothers for your company. Your encouragement these days, I also update it every time. I see everything in my eyes and feel warm in my heart. Really, it’s great to have you!)
(Also, I have to admit that I have to be slower. But it has only been about twenty chapters since the protagonist came out. In a fantasy novel, it is not enough to start a fight and use a few big moves... Is the foreshadowing and accumulation of emotions just water? I can I can summarize the content of the entire book within five hundred words, but can such a dry thing really be read? Although Lao Yi is ill, he is still working hard to write better works for readers. Please tell me. Please show mercy~)
