Chapter 1003: Burning the City

"That'...... What's that? At the head of Zhuozhou City, a golden soldier pointed to the night sky above his head, and screamed in disbelief, which also caused many colleagues on the left and right to look up, and then they all fell into a short period of sluggishness one by one.

In the dark night sky overhead, there are stars and moons, but among the stars, there are many people who are slowly coming in the direction of the city at this moment, as if some fairy god is going down from the sky to the earth, and the speed is not very slow, and it is only three or five miles away from the city in a flickering way.

These Jurchens had just come out of obscurity, and almost all the people of the tribe believed in the doctrine of ghosts and gods, and when they saw such a vision coming, some people immediately weakened their legs in fear, and even when they knelt down at the head of the city, their mouths began to pray silently. First one or two, and then, as if infected, from the head of the northern city, a large number of soldiers fell to their knees and kowtowed, not daring to regard this vision that suddenly came from the sky as an enemy.

Even Sun Tu, who was on the hot air balloon, didn't expect that his trick would bring such a miraculous effect, after being discovered by the enemy, not only did they not warn them to attack, but instead knelt down and really became fish on the chopping board.

In fact, the hot air balloon flew far from as high as expected, and if the defenders of the city had given the order to release arrows before they came to their heads, some of the balloons would have been injured and even dropped with the balls in the barrage of arrows. This is also the reason why Sun Tu deliberately let people launch an offensive at night, and at the same time stained the exterior with ink and black, such as balloons and bamboo baskets.

But the current facts told Sun Tu that he was a little worried, when these flying hot air balloons arrived, they had already scared Jin Bing into his soul, let alone attacking with arrows, and there was almost no one who looked up a few more times. After all, for the people of this era, it must be immortals who can fly to the sky, who will think in the direction of the enemy?

It wasn't until those hot air balloons finally came to the top of the city wall, and the roar of the engines from the external combustion type was faintly heard, that someone realized that something was wrong, held back the fear in their hearts, tried to look up, and then vaguely saw that the starlight was actually firelight, and there was a huge balloon above the firelight, and under the firelight were huge bamboo baskets, and there were figures shaking on them.

This made the soldier's heart tighten instantly, and although he didn't understand the reason, he still let out an elite exclamation from his mouth: "That's not an immortal descending to earth, it's an enemy attack!" ”

But it was too late, for at the same time as it screamed, heavy objects fell from above with a whistling sound, first a few, and then a raindown of black shadows from all directions, almost covering the northern side of the city......

When they saw Jin Ren's reaction like this, the soldiers of the scout battalion, who were still full of panic on the hot air balloon, calmed down, and after having no worries, they quickly made relevant judgments, and after picking up the jars that had been prepared in the basket, they threw them down.

Suddenly, the next person let out a burst of exclamations and screams, and the Jin soldiers, who were still kneeling down or hearing the exclamations, were smashed head-on by this jar and broke their heads and bleed, scattering and dodging. At this time, the hot air balloon was seven or eight feet high from the head of the city, and they threw the clay pot down almost the same as throwing stones from the head of the city to the bottom of the city, and its lethality was not small.

But the real killer trick was to come, and with a few shouts, after throwing down a clay pot, someone lit a few torches and threw them down. So only a moment later, a large area of flames quickly burned and spread at the head of the northern city, and the guards almost all became burning fireballs, howling miserably in all directions, and soon some people fell, and some people ignited other items on the city, so that the entire city was completely surrounded by fire.

And in the meantime, those hot air balloons were constantly moving forward, and they seemed to be not fast enough to drift into the city by the north wind tonight, and then they kept throwing crockpots all over the cityβ€”

Streets, alleys, barracks, shops, houses...... Everywhere, large and small, burst into flames with the fall of several torches. And with the help of the night wind, the fire spread out of control in all directions, but in half an hour, Zhuozhou City was already on fire everywhere, and it was almost completely surrounded and engulfed by the fire.

At this time, the buildings were almost entirely made of bamboo and wood, and they were close to each other, so that if a fire broke out in one place, it could ignite the surrounding buildings in a short time, and even without the diesel fuel flowing from the clay pot, the fire could play freely and take the whole city into its arms.

To add insult to injury, because the city of Zhuozhou has suffered several military disasters in just a few years, there are almost no people living in it. In this way, when the fire breaks out from everywhere, it is naturally impossible for people to run out in groups and try to put out the fire by all means.

As for the golden soldiers who had just become the masters of this city, when the fire broke out, most of them were still drinking heartily, and they didn't know what was going on outside. It wasn't until the flames were blazing that someone realized that something was wrong, and ran out of the door in a panic to check the situation, only to find that the yard where they were was surrounded by fires and could not escape at all.

This time, the Jin people finally have to pay a terrible price for their contempt and arrogance. I thought that I expected the enemy to take the lead and break through Zhuozhou with a thunderous force would definitely completely disrupt the rhythm of the Song and Liao armies, and at least for a few days, it would be impossible for this place to be attacked, so the whole army could take the opportunity to rest and not be too nervous.

But in the end, before the feast was over, the city was attacked by an air attack that surprised everyone, and a fire completely divided the golden soldiers who were separated in various places in the city, making them become like lambs to the slaughter in the fire everywhere, except for jumping around, there was no way to get it.

And with the continuous spread of the fire, the casualties of the Jin soldiers also began to increase, not only the people who were hit by the key blows in the city, but also the soldiers in the city who woke up and tried to escape, but also died in every corner of the city because of the sudden collapse of the house and the raging fireworks everywhere.

Only a few people who reacted quickly were able to escape from this accident, but in such a situation where there were fires everywhere and there was hardly any general who could give orders, they still scurried around like headless flies, and it was difficult to achieve anything.

This is the second big mistake made by the Jin, they gathered almost all the important generals together for a drink, resulting in no one being able to give timely command when the city was attacked, thus making the situation more and more chaotic.

The only good news is that since the garrison is located in the middle of the city, it has not yet been infested by fire. Otherwise, I am afraid that dozens of monarchs, ministers, generals and commanders of the Jin Kingdom here will all die in the fire, and there will really be no room at all. But even so, the situation here is still not optimistic, because with the chaos in the city, some people desperately ran to report the situation, and they were horrified to find that since the beating of the bones, all the important people were drunk and unconscious, not to mention giving clear instructions, leading everyone to extinguish the fire and save themselves, and save the city, but they couldn't even say a word.

It took a long time, shaking and splashing cold water, before everyone came back to their senses, and then one by one they were still dazed, completely unable to understand what it meant to have fires in the city. Wanyan Wushu was the first to completely sober up, and after he gradually cleared up his mind, he let out a strange cry: "It's not good, we have completely fallen for the Song people's scheme." They had drugged us with the wine they had gotten in the morning, and they had already anticipated our movements, so they set fire to the city and wanted to kill us! Father......

At this critical juncture, he didn't care about any concept of dignity and inferiority, and immediately stepped forward and slapped his father in the face, which brought the confused Ah Gu back to his senses. And after learning of such a drastic change in the city, the emperor of the Liao State also became extremely nervous, and shouted repeatedly, asking all the generals to gather their men and horses and find a direction to break through as soon as possible.

It was only when they stumbled out of the garrison and looked in all directions that they were horrified to find that the entire city had been completely engulfed in flames, and the flames were rolling all the way towards the middle of the city, as if they were spiritual, trying to kill them all.

And everywhere in the city, you can still see the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who were burned by the fire or cornered and ran around, and the warriors have become a burning fireball that can only move at this moment, turning more buildings into flames, and bringing more robes into the baptism of this fire.

When he saw this desperate scene, even a strong man like Aguta, a rising star like Wushu who was cool-headed and shrewd, fell into a momentary stunned, and didn't know how to react and deal with it for a while.

When they heard that there was a fire in the city, they thought it was just being set on fire everywhere, but who would have thought that the fire would be so harmful and deadly.

At this moment, there were only two or three thousand soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom who really gathered around them, and many of them were discouraged, with burning wounds on their bodies, and they were in shock. As for the other soldiers and horses in the city, all you have to do is listen to the constant screams and the crazy fireballs to know what the fate is.

"Song people, what a vicious method, what a vicious scheme......" Wushu sighed, and Ah Guda finally showed the appearance of a generation of heroes at this time, and immediately pulled out his saber, pointing to the east gate, which was closest to this and had not been completely affected by the fire, and shouted: "Rush to the east, as long as we leave this city, the Song people can't do anything with us!" As he spoke, he took the lead and strode towards the east.

The others were also stunned for a moment, and followed closely......
