Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 122: An Empty City Plan?
Hearing repeated persuasion from the deputy generals Qiong Yaonayan and Kou Zhenyuan, Wuyan Yanshou gradually calmed down. Although he was still anxious and worried about the safety of Princess Shamehua, he still ordered the army and horses to set up camp outside the city to rest and prepare for the battle.

In Tang County.

When Chao Tian and the others returned to the county government office, they were all overjoyed. Wu Yan Yanshou really couldn't contain his anger, and led his army and horses to chase after him to the outside of Tang City.

"All departments quietly left the city in batches, and ambushed around the county according to the original plan." Immediately, Chao Tian gave another order.

All the generals are familiar with the plan, even if Chao Tian refuses to give orders, they all know what to do.

Everyone took orders one after another, and hurriedly left to prepare to go.

Sunset on the west mountain, the last ray of twilight in the sky fades away, the golden crow falls, the jade rabbit rises, the bright moon hangs high, and the bright silver light sprinkles all over the field.

Wuyan Yanshou tossed and turned, finally waited until midnight, and immediately summoned the army and horses, and headed towards Xingtang County at high speed.

But when they arrived outside Xingtang County, the city gates of Xingtang County were wide open, and there was no one inside. Even the city walls were pitch black and quiet, with no one guarding them.

"General, could it be that the Southern Barbarians have resorted to a conspiracy, and there may be an ambush in the city."

Fan Jiang Qiongyao Nayan looked at the quiet and terrifying silence in Xingtang County, and couldn't help but whisper beside Wuyan Yanshou.

Wuyan Yanshou was also puzzled, looking at the strange Xingtang County ahead, he was a little undecided.

"Hahaha…"

The Han general Kou Zhenyuan burst into laughter suddenly, he clasped his fists heavily at Wuyan Yanshou, and said: "General, in the southern barbarian art of war, there is a strategy called the empty city strategy."

"That is to say, there is a shortage of soldiers and horses in the city, and the generals defending the city deliberately opened the city gates to let the enemy outside the city think that an ambush was set up in the city, so they dare not enter the city, and finally retreat."

"It must be that the Nanmanzi was overwhelmed by the general's majesty, so he didn't dare to fight head-on, so he had to use such an empty city plan."

Hearing what Kou Zhenyuan said, Wu Yanyanshou immediately relaxed his frowning brows, and also laughed, and said: "If it wasn't for General Kou Zhenyuan, who almost fell into the trap, this southern barbarian is really insidious and cunning."

Immediately, Wu Yanyanshou ordered a group of Liao troops to rush into the city to check, and the news they got was that it was indeed an empty city, with no one in it.

Immediately, Wuyan Yanshou waved his hand and ordered the army and horses to enter the city, but he didn't see Song Jun's figure, and he was worried about Princess Shame again.

The scouts sent out also returned to the surrounding area for dozens of miles, but no sign of the Song army was found.

"General, the Song army may have already run away. Why don't we rest in Tang County for a night, recharge our batteries, and catch up tomorrow." Fanjiang Qiong Yaonayan suggested.

When he first entered the city, Wuyan Yanshou also noticed that all the soldiers and horses under his command looked exhausted. Hearing Qiong Yaonayan's suggestion, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to rest in the city for one night.

As a general, Wuyan Yanshou naturally lived in the county government office. When he came to the county government office on horseback, a strange smell suddenly came over him. The smell disappeared in an instant.

Wuyan Yanshou frowned, the smell was quite familiar, but he just couldn't remember it, after chasing for a whole day, at this time Wuyan Yanshou was also a little tired, so he simply stopped thinking about it, went straight into the county office, and found A luxurious room to sleep right down.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Suddenly, outside Xingtang County, a large number of soldiers and horses of Chao's army appeared, some in all directions, all of them holding strong bows and crossbows, lit rockets, and rushed towards the city one after another.

The ignited rockets covered the sky and shot towards the center of Xingtang County, like locusts crossing the border. There were dense arrow rains in all directions, reflecting the entire Xingtang County as if it were daytime.

Chao's army had long hidden gunpowder, kerosene, saltpeter, sulfur and other igniters in all the houses in Xingtang County.

The rockets that covered the sky and covered the sky shot into Xingtang county town.

boom!
There was only a bang, and the whole Xingtang County was like a huge gunpowder barrel, which was on fire at one point. In an instant, the gunpowder, kerosene, sulfur, and saltpeter all broke out together, and the entire Xingtang County was swallowed by the fire in an instant.

Thick smoke billowed and flames soared.

Feng Bo is cheering, and the Vulcan is in full swing.

Where the fire started, golden snakes danced wildly; when the smoke erupted, darkness covered the sky.

Looking up, the fire dragon flies up to three thousand tai, and looking down, the flames are rushing to the sky and the earth is red.

Listening to the sound, whirring like a thousand dragons raging in the sea, observing the momentum, walking like lightning like a galloping horse.

Fire snakes entangled, copper walls and iron walls collapsed one after another, fire dragons stuck out their tongues, and green tiles and carved eaves suddenly fell.

There were shouts from all directions, and the Zhongliao army in Xingtang County was shocked!
There is still a large amount of gunpowder ambushing in Xingtang County, and the fire is so powerful that the gunpowder is ignited along with it.

In an instant, the sound of violent explosions could be heard throughout Xingtang County, and it lasted for half an hour before it gradually disappeared.

A large number of Liao soldiers were killed in the gunpowder explosion, among them was the deputy general Kou Zhenyuan.

When Kou Zhenyuan discovered the fire in the city, he hurriedly arranged for soldiers and horses to put out the fire. At this moment, there was gunpowder less than half a meter away from him.

boom!
After an earth-shattering explosion, Kou Zhenyuan didn't even leave his body behind, it was blown to pieces and died on the spot.

Wuyan Yanshou is fate, originally Chao Tian hid a large amount of gunpowder in the county government office, which was prepared for Wuyan Yanshou.

But who knew that Wuyan Yanshou woke up in the middle of the night that night, panicking in his heart, so he went to inspect the city wall by himself.

Wuyan Yanshou had just walked to the city wall, just in time for the rockets and locusts outside the city to shoot into the city. The entire county government was razed to the ground, and Wuyan Yanshou escaped by luck.

"Don't panic, it must be a trick by the Southern Barbarians, boys, follow this general and rush out!"

Wuyan Yanshou stood on the city wall and witnessed the tragedy in the city. Countless Liao army sergeants were either engulfed by fire or killed by gunpowder.

Wuyan Yanshou was so hated that he was about to burst into tears, he was stunned for a long time before he gradually recovered, his liver and gallbladder were torn, he hurriedly organized an army and rushed out of Tang County.

But it was too late for Wuyan Yanshou to react at this time, there were Chao family army horses in all directions in Xingtang County, they roared and came in from the four gates, massacring the Liao army army horses one-sidedly.

Chao Tian rode in the lead, with the Overlord Spear frequently making shots, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Liao army fleeing on both sides like a torrential rain.

"Chao Tian, ​​despicable villain, take your life!"

At this moment, a voice of fury suddenly came from among the chaotic army, Chao Tian watched intently, it was Wu Yan Yanshou.

Wuyan Yanshou organized his troops and horses to rush out of the city, and when he saw Chao Tian's anger, he felt secretly in his heart.

Before the battle between the two armies that day, he had also experienced Chao Tian's strength, but he was just an idiot general in addition to gold and jade.

Shoot people first and shoot horses, capture thieves first and capture the king. Chao Tian is the commander of the Song Army, so behead him first.

Thinking of this, Wuyan Yanshou roared at Chao Tian, ​​and rode his horse towards him.
