Chapter 82 Burning the city in flames
Bundles of dry firewood were thrown under the city wall, and a layer of dry firewood was soon piled up outside the southern city wall of Goguryeo.
The Goguryeo soldiers guarding the city kept firing arrows downwards, but the Tang army continued to throw bundles of dry firewood under the city regardless of casualties.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Hundreds of jars of grease were poured onto the dry firewood, and then the Tang army under the city began to light the dry firewood with torches.
"Hahaha The Tang army really wanted to burn the city! Their brains must have been burned, right? How could such a strong Liujing city wall be burned down?"
The Goguryeo people on the top of the city kept laughing.
These Goguryeo people did not take the actions of the Tang army too seriously at all, as if they were watching a play. In their view, the Tang army would be unable to attack the city after setting fire. Isn't this just shooting themselves in the foot?
The fire continued to burn, and after a while, a large area outside the southern city of Goguryeo was already a sea of ??flames.
Above the city, the Goguryeo soldiers felt waves of heat coming towards them.
An officer said to Shi Wen: "General, something is wrong. What if the city wall is really burned down? Should we put out the fire?"
Shi Wen said in a cold voice: "After a while, the firewood will burn out and the fire will naturally go out. This fire will also stop the Tang army's attack, so don't pay attention to it."
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, the fire showed no sign of extinguishing, and the heat wave on top of the city was instead billowing.
Shi Wen felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, the firewood under the city should have been burned out. Why didn't the fire go out, but instead got hotter and hotter?
It¡¯s so hot that people can¡¯t even stand on their feet.
Shi Wen was also covered in sweat, and felt that his armor was a little hot. Looking down the city, it was clear that the firewood had burned out, but there was a heat wave. Shi Wen was surprised to find that the bottom of the entire city wall was It became fiery red.
He immediately nodded and said, "Bring water and put out these fires."
The soldiers on the top of the city brought water and poured it down the city.
"Hoo!"
When a bucket of water was poured down, it turned into a white mist in an instant.
The city wall turned redder and redder, and the red area continued to rise, extremely hot. Gradually, no one could stand on the top of the city.
Shi Wen felt that the soles of his feet were hot and he couldn't stand on the city wall at all, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"This city wall is actually on fire!!!"
Shi Wen couldn¡¯t believe his eyes. The city wall was actually on fire, and it was burning very fast. Now no one could stand on the wall.
"what is going on!"
"What exactly is going on!"
"Boom!"
Not far away, a city wall was actually burned down. A dozen soldiers instantly fell into the rubble and let out miserable screams. Then they were covered in fire and struggled and rolled in the flames until they were burned to charcoal ¡
Shi Wen was stunned at the time. He couldn't believe that the city wall built by generations over the past hundred years collapsed like this.
How did things become like this?
"General, get down to the city quickly, or it will be too late!"
Several soldiers pulled Shi Wen and ran away. At this time, people on the city wall could no longer stay still. The burning flames almost emptied the oxygen around the city wall. The Goguryeo defenders on the entire city wall had fled down the city. go.
However, the fire burned more and more fiercely. After a while, the city walls collapsed one after another, and the ground of the entire Liujing City became extremely hot. Inside and outside the city wall, the ground was orange-red, and the entire Liujing City seemed to be burning, with countless flames. It continues to spread from the south gate to the city.
Many people poured water to douse the fire, but the flame could not be extinguished at all. A cloud of water vapor rose up and ignited again.
The fire has become more and more fierce, and there are even red flames rising from the ground and shooting straight into the sky. There is also thick smoke coming from the fire head. The wind is blowing very hard. The wind is fanning the fire, and the flames are flying higher and higher. , and suddenly, the entire Liujing City burned into a sea of ??fire.
Looking at the red-burning Liujing City in the distance, the Tang army outside the city all took a breath of cold air. No one knew why this huge Liujing City was really on fire.
Under normal circumstances, it is rare to burn down a city wall, but now, the entire Liujing City is burning, and the raging flames dye the entire sky orange-red, which looks so weird.
boom!
?The closed gate of Liujing City suddenly opened, and a group of Goguryeo soldiers rushed out from the city gate. This group of Goguryeo soldiers were all riding horses, and there were about two to three hundred people.
However, before the horses under their crotches could run very far, the mounts began to wail and fall down one after another. The heavily armored Goguryeo cavalrymen on horseback fell to the red ground one after another. These Goguryeo cavalry were devoured with both men and horses.
"Huhu"
Looking from a distance, I saw that the robes and hair of these Goguryeo cavalry were on fire. The soldiers and horses that rolled to the ground continued to roll and struggle in the sea of ????fire, making miserable screams.
The smell of barbecue began to waft in the air. Although he hadn't eaten for nearly a day, Tang Jun didn't feel hungry when he smelled the smell of barbecue. He just felt nauseous.
Except for Li Zhen, no one thought that things would develop like this.
In less than one meal, two to three hundred Goguryeo cavalrymen and their riders were reduced to ashes. Only the armor of the soldiers was burned red, but it still maintained its original shape and made crackling sounds from time to time.
The entire Liujing City has already burned into a city of flames! The ground fire that could not be extinguished in the city had completely spread, igniting almost every building in the city.
The fire spread from the south gate, and the surviving people and soldiers in Liujing City began to flee toward the north gate.
However, as soon as the city gate was opened, these Goguryeo people found in despair that two thousand Tang Army archers had been waiting at the north gate, firing arrows at the city gate.
"ah!"
Countless screams rang out, and the Goguryeo people who rushed out of the north gate were shot by endless arrows and fell to the ground one by one.
"Boom!"
There was a series of explosions, but Li Zhen had someone quietly bury the Big Mac mine near the north gate. When a soldier stepped on it, he was immediately blown to pieces. The fragments of the Big Mac mine swept down the dense crowd. Blockbusters
There were more and more corpses at the city gate, and finally they piled up into a hill, blocking the city gate.
Seeing that they could not escape from the north gate, the remaining soldiers and people were forced to gather in a narrow area next to the root of the north city.
Relatively speaking, the fire has not spread to this area, and it can still be accommodated for the time being. However, it will not be long before the rapidly spreading fire reaches the center, and countless people gather from all sides, including Shi Wenhe. His guards.
At this time, the situation in Liujing City was already in chaos. As time continued to pass, the flames finally reached the bottom of the north city wall. The north city wall also burned. Thousands of civilians and soldiers continued to be swallowed up by the flames ( Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
