At the end of February, the Central Plains is in the spring season.

The two battlefields of the Great Song Dynasty were fighting into a mess. In Jiangling City, Zhao Ji has not left. Since the occurrence of Cai Jinghu in that day, please beg the great artist to tour the west, leaving the prince Zhao Huan to stay in the land of Jiangling. It's like a spoonful of water suddenly being poured into a pot of hot oil, and the crackling oil splashes everywhere, so it's not lively.

Gangneung City instantly became a pot of porridge, and those who left and stayed had their own support, and the arguments with each other were like white heat. Compared with the fighting on the battlefield, it is still much hotter.

So much so that Zhao Ji had the potential to become a frightened bird, but he still stayed in Jiangling City and never left.

Helplessly, the big artist still wants face. Cai Jing and others need to settle all the things they do, and only then will they take the western tour after successfully taking the blame.

Even though the world knows its true colors, there is a layer of tulle to cover the face, just like the emperor's new clothes, whether you believe it or not, I myself believe that I am indeed forced by the form, and I have no choice but to go west into Sichuan and Shudi.

In Guanxi, Lu Zhishen had already led the army into Jingyuan Road, and his marshal Xi Gong raised and surrendered. even tricked Qin Fengshuai and Zhao nodded. Qin Feng's soldiers gathered in the Zhenrong Army, which was Guyuan in later generations, so that they could quickly reinforce Jingyuan Road at a critical moment. But Xi Gong surrendered like this, which made the door of Jingyuan Road wide open, and Lu Zhishen led the main force of the Guanxi Army to receive the news of Xi Gong's surrender from Qin Fengbing, so that when everyone was confused, he appeared in front of Qin Fengbing and asked Zhao Diandeng to sit on wax.

He can't stand, he can't retreat. You can't fight, and you can't really abandon the solid plain.

Lu Zhishen took the opportunity to divide the Huaide army, that is, Pingxia City. From there, cross to the west, cross the north of Liupan Mountain, where there is a road to cross Liupan Mountain. Once you arrive at the temple, follow the road to the south. Although there are Jiuyang Village, Zhenqiang Village, Huaiyuan Village, etc. along the way, you can go around to the back of the Zhenrong Army, which is a battleground for soldiers to "control Wuyuan on the left, Lanhui on the right, Huangliu around the north, Kongtong to block the south, according to the shoulders of the eight counties, and the key to the three towns".

Of course, if you want to enter the Haoshui River, you still have to take the Zhenrong army. Otherwise, you can only shuttle south along the mountain path, which is time-consuming and laborious. The capacity of the trails there is too small, and the logistics and supply are difficult, making it inconvenient for the army to pass. Only by defeating the Zhenrong army, passing through the Haoshui River and then south along the Wating River, can a big road reach Qinzhou Tianshuiye.

On the one hand, Zhao Dian asked Qinzhou to provide a large amount of grain and grass to the front line, and at the same time, he made every effort to draw soldiers and horses from the rear, and even wanted to ask Wang Yi for help through the Xihe River, so that Qinzhou was empty. The two-headed snake Xie Zhen and the deputy general Zou Run, the unicorn dragon, led the troops and horses of the department, along the Chencang Weishui Gorge Road, and took Qinzhou by surprise. Later, Li Yanxian, Yang Keshi, and Yang Kesheng led a large army, discarded all logistical baggage, only brought five days of dry food, and went into battle lightly, also along the Chencang Weishui Gorge Road, arrived at Qinzhou City.

The reinforcements of the Liangshan Army and the Yang family brothers' names in the Western Army in the old days had just changed hands, and they were only calm on the surface, and the turbulent Tianshui City was quickly calmed down. The other place is the road of Qinfeng Road, and there are all kinds of money, food, and military supplies. Take the city, and you've got everything. By the time Lu Qian's army reached the city of Fancheng again, the Qin Feng soldiers led by Zhao Dian seemed to have been cut off. This is a very sad thing for Zhao Dian himself.

Lu Qian was not concerned about the war in Kansai, because the gap between the strength of the enemy and us was too great, and in the past cold winter, the Liangshan army used both soft and hard, and the results were rich. Even if Zhao Dian can gather soldiers and horses to resist the Zhenrong army for a while, he can't bear it for a lifetime. No, he's afraid he won't be able to support it for a month.

The situation of the Song army in Guanxi is becoming desperate day by day, but the Song army in Fancheng is also suffering from pain.

After the Liangshan army arrived in Nanyang, they asked people to spread some headless posts in Fancheng City, teaching the people in the city to take refuge in the city as soon as possible. Later, when the army arrived at the city, Lu Qian first asked someone to pass a letter to surrender, and the latter's guard was Zhang Qiong, so naturally he would not surrender. "I am a general of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I stoop to a rebellious minister such as Shier? You want to recruit me, and you die of this heart! Tell Lu Qian that he has the ability to attack the city. I have a great Song Zhongliang in Fancheng, and I would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile! ”

In this way, Lu Qian no longer needs to be polite.

It's very simple, it's the Shangliangshan cannon. However, the artillery shells used were not stone shells, but oil bombs.

This thing is easy to manufacture, just wrap the clay pot in a wooden shell, and the grease and sawdust and grass balls can be built, and the weight can be up to 50 catties. The outer wooden shell is also light and thin, impregnated with grease, and ignites the wooden shell when fired. After the oil bomb is thrown far away, but when it lands, it is on the surface of the water, and the wooden clay pot can also be broken. When it bursts, the oil fire will inevitably splash and burn fiercely.

If it falls in the crowd, it will be very inhumane. If you splash on a person, you will be covered in fire, and in today's environment, it is almost impossible for a victim to survive. Think of the scene of burning people scurrying around and wailing, it's definitely hell.

This is also the reason why Lu Qian asked people to send out headless posts early and asked the people of Fancheng to leave the city early.

Burning the defenders, Lu Qian didn't feel that there was much discord, but if the fire annihilated Fancheng and burned thousands of people in the city to death, it would be unbearable.

"Listen to me - release!"

Behind the artillery trucks, they carried a fire oil bomb burning with raging fire, and with a command, one after another fireballs pierced the sky and fell towards Fancheng.

It may be the head of the city in the middle, and it may have fallen into the city, and some have fallen outside the city. But no matter inside and outside, the moment the fire oil bombs hit the ground, the water slurry burst in the silver bottle, and everyone who was baptized by the fire oil was a wail, as if they had fallen into the abyss and hell.

Helplessly, the moment the fire oil bomb hit the ground, it immediately rose into flames. At the head of the city, a cannonball was in the middle of the city, and the raging flames burst violently, and a full twenty people were affected, and all of them became "burning men" at this moment. The whole body was on fire, struggling and calling, and the scene was horrible.

Its lethality is good, and its deterrent power is ten times that of the former.

That tragic scene will be more terrifying than death.

"Each cannon corrects itself, listen to my command - release!"

When the head of Fancheng City was in a panic, the Liangshan artillery in the Liangshan army had already completed self-correction, and then the second batch of fire oil bombs were also dropped.

Lu Qian didn't show the artillery immediately, and to be honest, the power of the artillery at the moment was not stronger than the Liangshan cannon. Especially when it comes to cities.

After several waves of bombardment, the head of Fancheng City was already in chaos. After the failure of the last time the city was defended, the new walls were not only taller and thicker, but also covered with a layer of large blue bricks.

However, the walls of Fancheng arranged in this way can have higher resistance to stone bullets, but they have no effect on fire oil bombs at all. It even backfired. Because the city wall was thicker, a large number of materials for defending the city were piled on the city wall.

For example, a wooden bed crossbow, such as a bundle of arrows, such as a pile of dry firewood, such as a can of grease. There are also a large number of wooden women's walls, wooden rows, and so on.

Now it was covered with splatters of grease and flames, and the whole city was in chaos, and the whole city was covered with flames.

It is also thanks to the complete preparation of the Song army, and in the north of the city, there are gallows cars. In order to transport troops to the city as soon as possible, a winch that can go up and down was set up.

Nowadays, although some have been affected, most of them can still be used. The defenders at the head of the city rushed to the city, and the burning men, in despair, even chose to jump from the city.

The gate tower on the city was originally a wooden structure, and in a moment, it was burned.

"Rule, what should I do?" Someone asked Zhang Qiong.

"Withdraw, withdraw first." What can Zhang Qiong do, can only say that he will withdraw it first.

Although Lu Qian looked down on the situation in Chu City, he could see the clouds in the city. He was not in a hurry to break the city, but continued to order the artillery battalion to send fire oil bombs one at a time, not only at the head of the city, but also in the city of Fancheng.

As mentioned above, the county seat of Fancheng was built along the bank of the Hanshui River, not in a square line, but in a long and narrow strip. Relying on the range of the Liangshan cannon, it was enough to catapult the fire oil into most parts of the city. In other words, Lu Qian is now arson everywhere, ordering the artillery camp to be insufficient. In less than half an hour, the entire Fancheng County was shrouded in a sky-high fire, and it was already irretrievable.

Lu Qian looked at the sky above Nafan City, the fire was like in front of him, the heat was constantly coming, he was already three or four miles away from the city, and he could feel the boiling heat.

At this time, the thick smoke in Fancheng City rose straight up, and the flames were hidden in the sky, and the huge city was covered in thick fireworks. Although it is noon, at the end of February, it is a brilliant spring day, but under the cover of black smoke, a feeling of fierce cold arises spontaneously.

The flames soared, the houses collapsed, and the wounded screamed and fled alive. If you look closely, you can see countless figures struggling in the flames, and the whole scene is almost like the Shura field.

Even many Liangshan troops can't bear to look at it, let alone Yao Gu, Wang Xiaozhong, and Wang Shixuan on the other side. In the eyes of the latter, Liang Shanjun's name of 'benevolence and righteousness' will appear in a circle of blood and fire.

Lu Qian was setting fire to the city, even though he had already asked people to spread headless posts and let the people in the city disperse. But how can there really be no people in Fancheng City? Not. According to the report of the personnel of the espionage department in the city, when they withdrew from Fancheng, the people in the city were probably still 1,800. Are they all burned out of the fire now?

Lu Qian didn't care about them anymore. This time, he has a big goal, but he wants to be infected with some 'iron and blood ruthlessness', so that the Song army will be emboldened.

Moreover, even if all the people in the city were killed, it would be worth the price compared to the suppression of the Song army brought by the Liangshan army's arson and burning of Fancheng, and the benefits brought by the easy capture of Fancheng.

He had been persuaded in advance and was morally uncondemned. I don't feel heavy in my heart. If it weren't for this, only a large army would attack the city, how long would it take him to take Fancheng in front of him, and how many casualties would he have to pay. Isn't the life of Liang Shanjun his life?

The fire was not extinguished until the afternoon of the next day, and the entire city was in ruins. Spring is the time to dry.

Lu Qian asked people to enter the city, firstly, to collect the remains in the city, but to occupy a good position.

This time, the Song army's defense was still the same, except for the lack of one of their sailors on the Han River. Na Xin Xingzong led 5,000 troops to garrison Lumen Mountain, where the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a hard bone.

Zhang Qiong led troops to defend Fancheng, and Wang Shixuan led troops to be stationed in Yanshan, which is separated from Lumen Mountain by a river. Xiangyang City was personally controlled by Yao Gu, supplemented by Wang Xiaozhong.

Now Zhang Qiong led the defeated soldiers to flee back to Xiangyang and burned the Xiangfan pontoon bridge.

Lu Qian just asked people to surround Lumen Mountain, but they only besieged it, but they didn't attack it. When the sailor arrives and the army crosses the Han River, it is the time to move in earnest. (https:)
