Chapter 115: Burning Nanpi

Fang Yunjun began to slowly tighten his pockets, however, they noticed a strange phenomenon.

That is, the Yuan army opposite them seemed to have no intention of resisting at all, but slowly retreated. In a short time, the Anping Kingdom and the Hejian Kingdom were completely recovered with almost no losses.

Seeing that Yuan Shaojun only had one Bohai County left, and the two counties of Zhangwu and Fuyang in the north were also recovered one after another, completely recovering Bohai, and it has entered the countdown. Many people believe that Yuan Shao may have retreated south according to their pre-set plan.

The army began to gather, and the center of the convergence was the county administration of Bohai County-Nanpi!

Because it is a county, it is a large city, and at least more than 400,000 people live here. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the population decreased somewhat, but it remained at about 300,000. The city wall is at least about seven to ten meters long, and there are temporary guard towers and arrow towers at the four corners. If you don't have enough siege equipment, I'm afraid you may not be able to attack it.

But how could Fang Yun not know this? In this battle, the army brought a total of hundreds of thunderbolt carts, as well as more than 50 goose carts and rushing carts, as far as the study of siege equipment is concerned, at least no prince in modern times can compare with Shangyun.

It's just that these siege engines turned out to be completely useless.

The army gathered here, and when they were about to attack the city, they found that the gate of Nanpi was slowly opened, and a few pawns walked out from behind the trembling city gate, raising their hands and surrendering.

Huang Zhong, the commander-in-chief, was puzzled and immediately asked someone to bring them over for questioning. Only then did I know that Yuan Shaojun had already evacuated Nanpi, leaving them behind, and the only responsibility was to drag Fang Yunjun to gather here before he could open the door and surrender. I have to say that they are indeed very loyal to Yuan Shao, and they have persisted in opening the door until now despite the encirclement of 50,000 people.

"Enter the city to confirm!" Huang Zhong didn't believe their words, at least reserved a certain amount of skepticism. The art of war has always been false and real, who can guarantee that this is not a trap?

"General. Oh no! But the soldier who did not want to explore the way went in for about a quarter of an hour, but ran out in a panic.

At that moment, everyone was on alert, for fear that there was indeed an enemy ambush inside. It's just that Huang Zhong saw something. After all, although these soldiers were panicked, they were not injured or had no signs of fighting, which meant that there should be no enemy troops inside.

"What's going on inside?" So Huang Zhong just yelled at them to calm down.

"General, there are a large number of wounded inside. It's all the people of Nanpi! According to what the injured said, the ones who attacked were actually Yuan Shao's soldiers, and they also took all the medicinal materials of Nanpi, and they need treatment now! The soldier reported nervously.

"What the hell is going on?" Huang Zhong looked at the soldiers.

"The general spares his life, it's none of our business! Yuan Jiang...... In order to drag down the generals, Yuan Shao ordered all the families to be moved, and then cut down the people of Nanpi. This is because he heard about Fang ...... The general is from the common people, and he has compassion for the people, so naturally he will not die without help......" The pawn returned in a panic.

"Damn it! Military doctors, where are the military doctors. Come with me into town at once! Huang Zhong kicked one of the pawns away, and then shouted to the rear.

When it was confirmed that there was no Yuan Jun inside, Huang Zhong immediately entered Nanpi City with his men and began to rescue the people inside. Of course, he knew that population was the cornerstone of a power, otherwise it would be useless to get an empty city in Nanpi.

These people were indeed miserable, and most of them were stabbed more than three times. Fortunately, their main task was to hold back the enemy's pace, so Yuan Jun did not directly attack their vital points and make them painful. Let them bleed, but they won't die too quickly.

Yes, just won't die too quickly, without rescue. Within about twelve hours, I am afraid that they will also bleed to death. On top of that, I don't know how many hours have passed.

According to the situation of the injured, Huang Zhong divided them into two areas: seriously injured and lightly injured, focusing on rescuing those seriously injured patients. Those who were slightly injured were taken care of by ordinary soldiers. They have been somewhat popularized with battlefield first aid knowledge. Especially these knife wounds, they have a bit of gold sore medicine on them, and even a small piece of silk thread and U-shaped needle that has been prepared.

Therefore, on Fang Yunjun's side, unless he died on the spot, even if he was seriously injured, he could be treated urgently in this way. Besides, if he is in command of the army, due to the relationship of talent 'Jishi', as long as all the soldiers under his command are out of battle, their injuries will slowly heal themselves.

The problem is that these people are not his men, and this army is not under his command.

Night began to fall, and Huang Zhong had to let the army enter the city to garrison, of course, some soldiers were left outside to guard, and sentries were also arranged on the city wall. More than 300,000 people have been treated to a greater or lesser extent, but more than 1,000 people have died, all of them elderly and children.

"The family is gone?" Huang Zhong was full of resentment towards Yuan Shao at the moment, and even began to feel disgust for the family.

The people are also life, why do they regard them as ants, or is it that for meat eaters, the people are just tools in their hands. In fact, this is not surprising, Confucianism originally advocated this top-down concept of rule, and it is not surprising that the Han Dynasty, which respected Confucianism alone, had such a consciousness.

Not to mention that this is still Dong Zhongshu's idea, in order to please the Han Emperor, who distorted Confucianism for the first time.

"They have all been evacuated, and it seems that Yuan Shao took them away. According to the pawn, it was because we were worried that we would find the family to settle the score, so we took them first. Xu Huang came to Huang Zhong's side and whispered to him.

"Hmph, not to mention that we have already gotten out of the stage of accumulation of power, let's just say that now that the lord is a general of the Han Dynasty, how can he do such a low-level thing?" Huang Zhong snorted coldly, obviously very disdainful of Yuan Shao's actions and thoughts.

If it is said that at the beginning, Fang Yun's power is not very large, then it is natural to obtain capital to enhance his power by liquidating the family and local tyrants. But now that Fang Yun has occupied the land of the four states, and there are millions of people under his command, he is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a general, so why does he need to play this method again?

Or, at his level, there is no way to play this method casually.

"Yuan Valve has always been at odds with the lord. Who knows what they think. I can't say it, that is, it is purely for the sake of smearing, right? Xu Huang smiled bitterly.

While they were chatting, they didn't know that in the houses of those big families, at least more than 300 dark shadows began to come out of the secret room. They are the dead soldiers raised by Yuan Shao. The only purpose of staying here this time is not to assassinate Huang Zhong and them, but to have another purpose!

They came and scattered, into hidden alleys. Then he took out the flint and steel and struck it on the ground. Soon a large number of flames began to rise.

In fact, Huang Zhong didn't know that Yuan Shao had collected a lot of fierce fire oil, which was carried out in secret, and only his cronies would know about it. The main reason is that he already knows that there are spies sent by Fang Yun around him, so he no longer believes even ordinary soldiers.

The oil had been stirred with other flammable materials, and some of the original flavor had been somewhat masked, and then they spent the night setting a curfew. Then pry open the stone slabs on the ground and pour these things under the floor. Even, all the big families have this thing in it.

Huang Zhong was eager to save people, and there was a lack of qualified military advisors in the army, so they didn't find any traces of those floors being pried open, and at the same time, blood was also helping Yuan Shao cover up these traces, and even the smell of those fierce fire oils.

As the dead men burst into flames, the flames were originally just a small flame, and then quickly spread.

After a while, all the streets began to light up. All the streets are on fire! A large number of buildings began to be ignited, and in this era when the main body of buildings was wood, such fires could not be extinguished!

The mansions of the family are burning, and the mansions of ordinary people are burning. The whole Nanpi is burning!

Yes, this is a fire attack, aimed at Fang Yunjun's fire attack, for which Yuan Shao has prepared a large amount of fierce fire oil, and there are 300,000 people who are regarded as outcasts by him!

Perhaps, this is the difference between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei. Yuan Shao is a representative of the family. In his opinion, as long as the family supports him, then how much population there is, he is originally taking a high-end route, so he can disdain the low-level existence of the common people.

And Liu Bei relied on the status of King Jing of Zhongshan and took the route of benevolence and pro-people, so he couldn't let go of the people, otherwise the image he preached would be damaged.

Anyway, what will they do when the fire is lit and the people who are sleeping awake suddenly?

They are just an untrained bunch of people who don't know what order is. In particular, no one can guarantee whether there are some Yuan lords or dead soldiers disguised as ordinary people.

At that moment, the entire city of Nanpi was in chaos, and the people rushed towards the four gates, and even in this case, a large number of people were trampled to death, and the number exceeded thousands.

On top of that, the gates weren't wide enough to allow so many people to come and go, so it was clear that they would be trampled and crowded to death. The most troublesome thing is that their blockage will also cause Fang Yunjun to be unable to go out smoothly.

"Yuan Shao, what do you think of human life?" Huang Zhong looked up at the starry sky and roared angrily.

"General, now is not the time to talk about this, let's hurry up and withdraw, otherwise it will be too late!" Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, Xu Huang also nervously came to Huang Zhong's side and shouted.

It's just a question of how exactly do you get out?! (To be continued.) )

PS: Burning Bowang, burning Xinye, burning Chibi, Zhuge Liang's 'three fires'.

Flooded the Seventh Army, Guan Yu reached the pinnacle. It's just that when we applaud their calculations, did we ever think that at least a hundred thousand people died as a result...... Fire and water are ruthless, but it is the most effective way to win more with less.
