The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 300
To the north of Andu County, Tianmabao.

The fort was in chaos at the moment, because the warehouse was on fire.

It has been seven days since he was trapped in the fort, and the army of the Wangfu came to attack and harass him from time to time, so that there was no safe life in Tianma Fort.

Of course, Zhu Xiaoyong was not idle, and at the same time, he also dispatched manpower, constantly going out of the fort to fight back.

In any case, both sides fought back and forth, but the scale of the battle was controlled at around 50 people.

But who knows, the army of the palace didn't play their cards according to the routine this afternoon, it can be said that the whole army was dispatched.

After they were in place, they lined up in the north and south of Tianma Castle. They didn't do anything else, they just shot arrows into the castle.

The most exaggerated thing is that Wang Fujun also built a simple catapult.

It is a joke to use this thing to attack the city, but it is enough to deal with Tianma Castle. After all, the walls of Tianma Castle are not that high.

In fact, Xu Yu didn't intend to attack the fort wall with the thing, he used it to project fire oil.

These days of harassment and investigation allowed Xu Yu to find out the situation in Tianma Castle, which made him set his target on the granary.

As soon as the Privy Council's military order to urge the use of troops arrived this morning, Xu Yu was forced to show the results of the battle as soon as possible, so he made a desperate move.

Xu Yu collected all the kerosene, and he decided to make a big one, throwing the kerosene into Tianma Castle and burning down the opponent's granary.

So this catapult became Xu Yu's trump card.

The lamp oil is sealed in a special wooden barrel, and together with it, there are also "rockets" that seem to be free of money.

This time, all the guards were dispatched, and 23 barrels of kerosene and [-] rockets were shot into Tianma Castle, which eventually caused a fire.

Standing on the wall of the fort, looking at the raging fire below, although there were soldiers trying to put out the fire one after another, Zhu Xiaoyong knew that it was futile.

The granary could not be kept. Even if the fire could be put out, the grain inside would be reduced to ashes.

At this moment, another gust of wind blew in, fueling the flames of the fire even more.

The soldiers carried wooden buckets and poured out bucket after bucket of water, but it was basically useless.

Just listen to Zhu Xiaoyong's order: "Send people to pour out more grain, and then send people to separate the granary from other houses, so as not to let the fire spread again!"

It is a very difficult decision not to save the granary, and only Zhu Xiaoyong is qualified to make this order.

Several hundred households wanted to persuade them, but seeing the raging fire below, they also just wanted to bow their heads to reality.

The order was quickly passed on, and the soldiers below changed their mode of action and began to grab as much grain as possible from the granary.

To the north of Tianma Castle, Xu Yu and Chen Yuhe had led their men back to the position and formed a new formation.

According to their original plan, they wanted to drive the zombies into the encirclement and let them attack the Tianmabao bandit army.

But who knew that these summoned zombies could not attack the bandit army in the fort at all, and could only attack the defense line of the palace army.

The reality forced Xu Yu and the two to give up this strategy. This is the real plan that can't keep up with the changes.

Standing in front of the position, looking at the thick smoke rising from Tianma Castle 200 meters away, Xu Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "I think the granary inside is already in danger, just today and tomorrow...the bandits inside will definitely break through, and we can take them out." It's all over!"

Chen Yuhe nodded, and said with emotion: "The military order of the Privy Council will be delivered as soon as possible. It seems that the prince has intervened in this matter. I am in a hurry... But I didn't expect Brother Xu's methods to resolve this difficulty!"

Chen Yuhe meant to praise, but Xu Yu still said calmly: "It's a fluke, it's a fluke!"

"I have to tell the guards to move their hands in a while and try to kill the horses as little as possible. This is of great use!"

Chen Yuhe took it very seriously, and said, "I have already said hello to this matter!"

"That's good, then... just wait and see what happens!" Xu Yu said with a smile.

In Tianma Castle, the fire in the granary was out of control.

But the connection between the granary and other buildings has been cut, so the fire is considered to be contained.

The fire was soaring into the sky, and the red light shone on the faces of every soldier, and everyone had a stern expression.

Perhaps feeling the heat wave, the horses became restless and neighed uncontrollably.

Looking at the grain looted from the ground, Zhu Xiaoyong's face became more and more gloomy. This amount of grain cannot last for a few days.

Turning around, Zhu Xiaoyong said in a deep voice: "We must break through, otherwise we will be trapped here to death!"

"Pass down the order, and all the ministries will cook immediately, and break out when they are full!"

After saying that, Zhu Xiaoyong didn't say much, and walked straight into the hall.

Several hundreds of households immediately followed in. Breaking through the siege was a last resort, and they had to ask for clarification.

After receiving the military order, the soldiers immediately began to prepare dinner, and at the same time they were ready for battle in their hearts.

In the hall, Zhu Xiaoyong just took his seat, and someone from a hundred households behind him asked, "Brother, when will you break out?"

"After eating and resting for half an hour, we will break through!" Zhu Xiaoyong said in a deep voice.

Even if you add the time for eating and cooking, it will only take an hour if you are fully charged.

Breaking through after an hour, isn't that too hasty?Several hundreds of households have such questions.

"Brother, are you in a hurry?"

"Hurry up? There is still enough food for a few days? If we don't worry now, are we really going to be trapped to death in the castle?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Xiaoyong became more and more angrily said: "Before, I thought that we should directly fight the Yong army. If you didn't agree, how could today's disaster happen?"

Now it's time to counterattack and reckon, and the hundreds of households must be dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't talk back to Zhu Xiaoyong.

Zhu Xiaoyong also loses control of his emotions when he is short-tempered, so he tries to control his emotions as much as possible at this moment.

The entire Tianma Castle was very quiet, and an hour passed like this.

The soldiers in the fort were all well fed, the horses were well fed, and everyone was ready for battle.

In the hall, Zhu Xiaoyong discussed with several hundreds of households and some mid-level military officers.

"Leave the castle later, let's break out to the south!"

Zhu Xiaoyong's first sentence made everyone present extremely puzzled.

"Brother, are we still going to attack Andu County? Even if we break out, we don't have that much food!"

Looking at the person who spoke, Zhu Xiaoyong asked, "So you think we should return directly to Liaoping?"

"Prince Yong's Mansion is so powerful that we are by no means able to resist it. We should withdraw to Liaoping first and ask His Royal Highness King Ming to send troops for reinforcements!"

After hearing this, Zhu Xiaoyong glanced at everyone present and asked, "You all think the same?"

Most people nodded, and then Zhu Xiaoyong smiled and said, "I also think we should go back to Liaoping!"

Good guy, his sentence stunned everyone again.

Since we were going back to Liaoping, why did we break out to the south?Liaoping should go north.

There are only 200 enemies in the north, and more than 300 in the south. Even according to the difficulty level, they should go to the north to break through.

Finally someone couldn't bear it, and reminded directly: "Brother, you should go north when you return to Liaoping!"

"We want to return to the north, will the people in Yongjun think of it? They can think of it without being stupid!"

"But why? They only sent 200 people to defend on the road we must pass? But they put 300 people in the south?"

Everyone was speechless, they all looked at Zhu Xiaoyong, waiting for him to continue.

"Because of them, they want to guide us to go north, explaining that there must be fraud behind those 200 people in the north!"

It turned out that there was such a possibility, and everyone present suddenly realized that no one would question Zhu Xiaoyong's decision.

Only to hear Zhu Xiaoyong continue to say: "So, we have to turn around and fight south. As long as we break out, we have horses, so we can go back north by detour!"
