"Pour tung oil."
"Pour tung oil!"
"Get ready to light the fire."
"There is an order in the government, prepare to light the fire!"
At the top of Linzi City, when Xu Zongwen's eyes were attracted by the fighting on the Trojan Wolf side, Xi Jian was calmly commanding the Linzi garrison at the top of the city to resist the enemy.
"Huh?" Xu Zongwen covered his nose. This burnt smell was so familiar!
Jiang Guo, the prefect of Changguang, and Che Huang, the prefect of Le'an, led the army to attack the city. Ten thousand vanguards were attacking the city regardless of casualties. Thick gunpowder smoke billowed up. The county soldiers who were lying on the ladders under the gunpowder smoke were poured head-on. Thoroughly, that was the tung oil prepared by the defenders. The dog's sensitive nose had already begun to jump down from the ladder. It didn't matter if he broke his leg at this time. When the defenders threw down the torch and ignited the tung oil, it would turn into fire. People!
Sure enough, when several ladders that were carrying county soldiers to attack the city were taken care of by tung oil, Xi Jian gave an order, and all the torches and rockets were directed at the ladders under the city and the county soldiers who were climbing up.
"Wow!" As soon as the fire point touched the tung oil, sparks immediately spread around the flames. The flames caught the wind and immediately rose into a fire. In an instant, the entire Linzi city wall was burning with raging fire. The poor county soldiers were igniting the burning fire. The ladder was burned alive to charcoal!
The county soldiers who suffered the disaster of Chiyu below the city were also exposed to the fierce fire, looking ahead and ignoring the tail. The cries and calls for help from a large company lingered on Linzi City. Bai Shu, the governor of Beihai, and Gou Rong, the governor of Jinan, saw this and hurriedly rushed to reinforce them, but It was too late. At this moment, news of Han Ji's death in the rear of the county soldiers had begun to spread, and the county soldiers had no fighting spirit.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Guo, the governor of Changguang, pointed at Bai Shu, the governor of Beihai, and Gou Rong, the governor of Jinan, and cursed: "Your support is too slow. If you had come half an hour earlier, Linzi City would have been taken!"
"Well, that's it now, what else is there to say?"
"Withdraw!" Jiang Guo spread his hands. Han Ji was dead and there was nothing he could do.
"It was you who said not to be cowardly at first, but now it's you who says to withdraw the troops, you!" Che Huang, the eunuch of Le'an who fought with Jiang Guo, accused him.
Jiang Guo glanced at him and retorted with a grievance: "Damn it! Didn't I go into battle when I told you not to be cowardly? Now that even Han Shijun has been killed, what other ideas do you have except withdrawing the troops?"
The four prefects looked at me and I looked at you, none of them obeyed anyone. In the end, they still picked up the remaining soldiers and defeated the generals, and each went back to his home and looked for his mother.
The sun is turning to the west, and smoke is billowing toward the sky. Under the dark sky is a piece of red soil. The burning ladder and the rush car exude the smell of burning corpses. The water in the moat has long turned red and black, and has accumulated The dead bodies are no different from the ground.
The few surviving county soldiers were abandoned on the battlefield. Underneath the scattered corpses were batches of dead soldiers who fell on the road to charge!
The sinister wind gusted, making Xu Zongwen's hair stand on end. He barely maintained his mentality and scanned every part of the battlefield...
The prefects abandoned the corpses of tens of thousands of county soldiers and fled in panic. Seeing the situation, Xu Zongwen ordered the defenders to send troops from the other three gates to pursue them. He personally walked to the female wall, touched the city wall bricks soaked with hot blood, and returned With the slightest trace of residual heat, he looked at the piles of dead bodies under Linzi City and felt a lot of emotion in his heart!
Regardless of whether they are Hu people or Han people, they all came to this world naked, and eventually left naked, taking nothing with them, leaving only a body, which will turn into loess in a short time.
Why bother!
Liu Yuan, Shi Le and the Murong family, for their own ambitions, not only ruined the Jin Dynasty, but also left countless people forever in this land they called the flower world, the beautiful rivers and mountains, which are now full of devastation and tatters The unbearable land of the Central Plains has also affected so many innocent Han people!
How many lives did it take to weave a crown and a dragon robe?
Although Xu Zongwen, who killed many Qin soldiers in the Battle of Tancheng, couldn't help but sigh at this moment: "It was really too tragic. If this scourge could have been killed earlier at Taiping Tower, it wouldn't be where it is today. Alas. —”
"Forget it, stop chasing them, clean up the corpses outside the city first, and bury them as soon as possible."
Xi Jian: The general is so kind!
Xu Zongwen's next sentence: "Don't just feed the vultures and crows, but also fertilize the land in Linzi, so that the crops can grow prosperously in the coming year!"
Xi Jian: I didn’t say anything just now…
The county soldiers suffered heavy losses. In addition to the 2,000 troops who were ambushed when they entered Linzi City, the 30,000 troops from the five counties had been put together with more than 10,000 casualties. The morale of the army was about to collapse. What should happen to the remaining 20,000 county troops has become unclear. The biggest problem facing Kou Xiuzhi.
As a result, just when the scouts came to report, the prefects led by Jiang Guo actually led their troops back to their respective jurisdictions. Kou Xiuzhi spread his hands and really wanted to say: There is no way to save him!
"Master Fu, since Linzi City can no longer be captured, why not retreat to Niushoushan Mountain!" said the soldier who joined the army on the side to make suggestions.
"Hey! It was all my carelessness that caused Han Fujun and so many brothers to suffer. I'm sorry for the brothers who died in vain!" Kou Xiuzhi blamed himself very much and said in regret, beating his chest and feet.
"Master Fu, this is not your fault!" Joining the army urged: "It's not that Han Ji is so ambitious that he always wants to replace Fu Shijun so that he can occupy Qingzhou and dream of becoming a king! Those battles The brothers who died were all thanks to him. Now that he has been killed by his enemies, why should we die for him?"
"Go back to Ye County!" Kou Xiuzhi finally made up his mind and led his county troops back to Donglai County.
It is said that Xu Wen's fifty men here in Linzi City completed the beheading operation near the Trojan Wolf and killed Han Ji. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Guo, the governor of Changguang, and others also sold out the two thousand elite soldiers that Han Ji had invested in the siege. After giving it to Xu Zongwen, they turned around and took their own troops back to their jurisdiction. Kou Xiuzhi had less than 3,000 soldiers left in his hands and was in danger.
There were two battles before and after Linzi City. In the end, the situation was decided, and the Linzi garrison led by Xu Zongwen won. Of course, Fu Lang, the governor of Qingzhou, is still the highest official of Linzi City and Qingzhou on the surface. Most of the soldiers and civilians believe that Fu Shijun led them to defeat the rebel Han Ji, thwarted the conspiracy of the county soldiers to massacre the city, and saved the city. Linzi City has hundreds of thousands of people...
Xu Zongwen rushed to Linzi City at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, attacked the governor's office at night, defeated Han Ji twice, and Xu Zongwen himself was seriously injured. Xu Zongwen stayed in Linzi for nearly a month!
But Xu Zongwen only relied on five hundred soldiers to control the entire Linzi City. I have to say that this month's time was indeed very worthwhile.
Not only were there great changes in the Central Plains, but at the urging of Shen Yu and Zheng Lue, Zhu Xu, who had stationed troops in Guangxian and Guanggu areas, also divided his troops and marched into Qingzhou. With Shen Yu and Zheng Lue as one army, Zhu Xu and his son Ningyuan General Zhu Chen each led an army out of Guanggu and Guangxian to surround Linzi from three different directions, and asked Zhendong General Xu Yuanxi to plan to capture Juxian and cut off the connection between the four eastern counties of Qingzhou and Linzi.
It was when Han Ji raised troops to attack Linzi for the second time that the Xu army led by Shen Yu and Zheng Lue quietly crossed Tutou Mountain and marched overnight to Linzi. When they arrived near Niushoushan Mountain in the south of Linzi City, they happened to encounter He defeated the defeated troops of Changguang Prefect Jiang Guo and other four prefects who withdrew from Linzi.
"It's the Jin Army, it's the Jin Army that's coming!"
Seeing Xu's banner of the Jin army flying high, Jiang Guo and others were shocked and fled for their lives. More than 10,000 county soldiers engaged in an encounter with Shen Yu and Zheng Lue on Niushou Mountain!
"Kill me, brothers!"
Zheng Lue had a strong black horse on his hip. He took the lead and rushed into the county soldiers with a long spear. He picked off several county soldiers in a row. One of them was penetrated by Zheng Lue because he had poor riding skills and no sense of direction. Bai Shu, the governor of Beihai.
"Don't leave the Qin army!" Shen Yu pulled out his sword and commanded the two wings to spread out to expand the encirclement.
The large army of the Jin army was like a large net spread out, immediately covering the main force of the county soldiers down the valley. The county soldiers had no command from their superiors, and they all bumped into each other like headless flies. Stampede incidents were staged one after another. , before the Jin army used all its strength, many county soldiers died at the feet of their own people...
