"Oops! They want to use fire. Retreat quickly." Liu Guangshi can be rewarded by Zhao Gou as an ambassador. Although he is a little impulsive and has fought many defeats, he knows a lot of common sense in battles for a long time. So when Liu Guangshi learned that the walls were filled with kerosene, and saw the light on the top of the city, he immediately understood everything and hurriedly shouted.
It's just that Liu Guangshi now understands that it's already a bit too late. On the head of the city, Wu Heilong's eyes flashed with cold light, and with a wave of his big hand, the arc of hundreds of rockets with firelight flew down into the kerosene that had already converged into a small puddle under the city wall.
The debris that was thrown down by the defenders before were actually combustibles such as cloth strips and broken wooden boards, plus the kerosene next to them. After the rocket fell, the flames suddenly blazed into the sky and raged in the city of Fuzhou. Ignited under the city wall.
Countless screams sounded under the city wall, and the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who were still madly attacking the city wall before were all caught in the flames. Thanks to Liu Guangshi's timely order, most of the Southern Song soldiers escaped the fire, but even so, at least thousands of Southern Song soldiers died in the flames under the city wall.
"Hahahaha! Li Tao's plan is great. Your fire is really good." Looking at the Southern Song army who was struggling and crying in the raging fire from above the city, Wu Heilong couldn't help laughing loudly. He got up, slapped Li Tao's shoulder with his big hands, pointed at the enemy outside the city, and shouted: "Li Tao, your method is really effective."
Li Tao also let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the panicked army outside the city, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said: "It seems that there is no great person in the Southern Song Army and the Qi State Army. This general leader is even a company. There is no basic siege method. If we are capable of this, then it will not be difficult for us to defend the city of Fuzhou. It seems that we were all too worried before.
Li Tao was right. Liu Guangshi was able to become a servant of the Southern Song Dynasty, more because of the large number of soldiers and horses under his account. And Liu Guangshi himself didn't know a single word, let alone the art of war. Although Liu Lin has some abilities in wars, his strategies and strategies are pitifully poor.
As for the last Zhang Jun, playing intrigue, conspiracy and trickery, Zhang Jun is a good hand, but when it comes to marching, I am afraid that he is not as good as Liu Lin and Liu Guangshi. Just looking at Zhang Jun's army of hundreds of thousands being wiped out by Ying Xuan and Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, it can be seen that Zhang Jun really has no talent for fighting.
The fire under the city wall cannot be burning forever. Soon, the kerosene and the sundries were burned out, and the fire was slowly extinguished.
It turned out that the fire had already baked the city wall hot, and the smoke choked people. Even if the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty were agile, they couldn't climb on the smoky city wall. When Wu Heilong and Li Tao met on the head of the city, they laughed again.
When Liu Guangshi saw it, he could only wave his horse whip angrily, but he was helpless with the city wall in front of him. Seeing the darkened city wall and the smoke soaring into the sky, there are not a few hours to stop attacking the city. Liu Guangshi can't let his soldiers stand so stupidly and take arrows. He can only order the soldiers to retreat temporarily. .
After winning the first battle, Wu Heilong and Li Tao, as well as the soldiers behind them were all cheering and thundering, and many soldiers kept shouting and mocking at the enemy who was retreating like a tide. After watching the enemies finally retreat, Wu Heilong laughed and said to Li Tao: "Li Tao. If they dare to come again in the future, let's do this. Burn them to death."
Li Tao also laughed for a while, but slowly frowned, shook his head and said, "No. This measure can only be used once, and it won’t work if it is used too much. Next time they see us pouring oil, they will Immediately retreat, we can only waste kerosene by doing this. Next time we will fight them with real swords."
Hearing what Li Tao said, Wu Heilong was taken aback at first, but he grinned quickly, waving his big hands vigorously in the air, and shouting: "Hit and hit. Hmph! I was a little worried before, but now I look at their ability. No matter how many people there are, I am not afraid."
"Yeah." Li Tao also nodded. Wu Heilong was right. Although the number of coalition forces in the Southern Song Dynasty and Qi State Army was much larger than that of the defenders, one general was incapable of exhausting the three armies. With this level of the opponent’s generals, no matter how many soldiers and horses they had, they couldn’t attack the city of Fuzhou guarded by Wu Heilong and Li Tao.
However, Li Tao's expression did not ease, and he said in a deep voice, "Actually, I don't care about this, I just think it's a bit strange. Since the adults learned about the news early, why didn't you send reinforcements early? I have to wait until 10 days later. Just arrived? Not to mention the Qingqi under the adult's account, even ordinary infantry, if they arrived early, they would have arrived in Fuzhou long ago."
"Uh." Hearing what Li Tao said, Wu Heilong was also stunned. Wu Heilong is not the kind of reckless man who only knows to bury his head and kill the enemy. After Li Tao reminded him, he quickly saw the doorway. . Immediately, Wu Heilong frowned, rubbing the scum on his chin with his hand, carefully pondered it, and muttered: "Li Tao, you said that, it's true. But why the hell did you do this? "
"It makes sense for an adult to do this." At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. Wu Heilong and Li Tao both turned their heads at the same time and saw a young civil official smiling. Standing behind the two, it was the official Zhao Liangchong who had been sent from Jiangling to inform Wu Heilong, an official from a scholar.
"Ah! Lord Zhao." Although Zhao Liangchong is younger than Wu Heilong and Li Tao, this time Zhao Liangchong came to Fuzhou on behalf of the letter king Zhao Zhen. Both of them respected Zhao Liangchong and immediately turned around. Zhao Liang clasped his fists in salute.
"The general doesn't need to be polite." Zhao Liangchong didn't dare to just accept the two men's gifts, and quickly stepped forward, supporting the bodies of the two with his hands.
He smiled and said to Wu Heilong and Li Tao: "The general's ability has just been seen below. I believe that the general should be able to handle the task of dealing with the combined forces of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Qi State Army. Now that the general has sensed the mystery of this mission. , Then I will not hide the general from the general. But this is not a place to speak, please come down with you two." After that, Zhao Liangchong made a please gesture, indicating that Wu Heilong and Li Tao will follow him down the city. head.
Although Wu Heilong and Li Tao had some doubts, Zhao Liangchong was also their own, so naturally they did not hesitate much, nodded and followed Zhao Liangchong down the city.
And Zhao Liangchong also directly found a remote corner and said straightforwardly to the two of them: "Don’t hide from the general. In fact, this time the Southern Song Dynasty and Qi State Army sent troops to Fuzhou, the adults have long been informed. However, the adults did not send it out. There is another reason for not sending reinforcements." After that, Zhao Liangchong told Wu Heilong and Li Tao about the strategy of trusting Wang Zhao Zhen.
After listening to Zhao Liangchong's words, both Wu Heilong and Li Tao were silent for a while. Finally, Li Tao took a deep breath and said, "I understand, what the lord said, I hope we can hold the enemy here. Then let the princes think that the adults must do their best to deal with the combined forces of the Southern Song and Qi State Army. Isn’t it?"
"Yes." Zhao Liangchong nodded and said directly: "I also know that this decision of the adults is a bit cruel, but in order to dominate the world as soon as possible, there is no way for the adults. Only in this way can the lords of the Southern Song Dynasty fall into war. At that time, the adults will be able to end this troubled world as soon as possible. In contrast, the people in the world can be freed from the war. Now this little sacrifice is also worthwhile."
"I understand." Li Tao nodded his head with a look of loneliness. In fact, the truth is the same as when he argued with Wu Heilong about how to deal with the people in the county. The only difference is that the relationship involved this time is even greater, whether the entire world can be unified as soon as possible.
How could Li Tao know which is lighter and heavier, he took a deep breath, and Li Tao also put aside the distractions in his heart, and then said to Zhao Liangchong: "Master Zhao. Li understands the truth of this. So please Zhao Zhao Don't worry, my lord."
Seeing that Li Tao did not raise an objection, Wu Heilong was also relieved. After all, this is different from the previous argument between Li Tao and himself. What Zhao Liangchong said is that the adults believe in Wang Zhao Zhen’s opinion. If Li Tao holds If you disagree, then oppose the adults. This relationship has become bigger. Li Tao's future is definitely over. As a friend of Li Tao, Wu Heilong didn't want Li Tao's talents to be buried, and he would destroy his future. Now that Li Tao agreed, Wu Heilong naturally didn't have any opinions. Dang Even said to Zhao Liangchong, "Master Zhao. What on earth should we do? Let's talk about it."
"Hehe." Seeing the appearance of the two, Zhao Liangchong also observed it secretly, and then he laughed: "The general doesn't need to think too much, just hold on to Fuzhou like today. It's been here before. As I said, as long as the general can hold on for ten days, the adults will definitely send reinforcements."
After hearing what Zhao Liangchong said, Li Tao didn't understand again, and immediately asked: "Master Zhao. If the adults send reinforcements, wouldn't they be able to repel the enemy soon? What the adults just said, As for the adults' plans, didn't they all fail again?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Liangchong laughed, shaking his head and smiling mysteriously on his face: "Well, then please forgive me for the first time. In short, the adults will naturally have arrangements."
