Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 166 Burning Xinhe County

Chao Tian walked out of the Chinese army's big tent, glanced at the endless sunset in the sky, and was filled with emotion. His chest was full of pride and he broke the enemy. Just tonight, a big fire burned Xinhe County.

If it succeeds, Li Zailong's 13 army will be burned, and there will be no army in the entire Koryo Peninsula that can resist the advance of Chao's army.

The entire Koryo Peninsula is at your fingertips.

Chao Tian's plan will be more than half successful again.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted!
In the middle of the night, when it was time to fall asleep, the entire Xinhe County was very quiet, very quiet, only occasionally patrolling soldiers passing by the city wall.

The Koryo army horses have been exhausted on their pommel horses since they opened the capital and went south. They have been constantly harassed by the Chao family army in the past few days.

This is exactly what Chao Tian wanted.

The reason why the Koryo army and horses are so unguarded is that the Chao family army showed weakness to the enemy a few days ago, and gave the Korean army and horse owners the impression that the Han people were weak and weak.

At this moment, in the darkness outside the city, densely packed figures were moving.

Under the leadership of their respective generals, a large number of soldiers of the Chao family army lurked under the city wall.

With the help of the night, Chao's army was well-trained and the advantages of strict military discipline were highlighted. Thousands of people marched in the dark without making a single sound.

Wu Yunzhao was in charge of the east gate, Wu Tianxi was in charge of the west gate, and Wei Wentong was in charge of the south gate, leaving only the north gate untouched.

Surrounded by three and missing one, the commonly used tactic is to give the enemy troops in the city a glimmer of hope and prevent them from raising the will to die.

And is there really no soldiers and horses at the North Gate?
No, on both sides of the road out of the north gate, Chao Tian personally led the Huwei battalion army and horses to ambush, only waiting for the deserters to escape from the city, and then catch them all in one go.

"action!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Da, who was lying in ambush in the dark, immediately gave an order in a deep voice.

swish one by one
A loud arrow pierced through the night and went straight into the sky, the sound was particularly ear-piercing in the silent night sky.

After the sound of the arrows, dots of torches suddenly appeared in all directions in Xinhe County.

At the beginning, it was just dots and scattered, and in the end it was overwhelming.

swoosh swish...

The overwhelming rockets lit up the entire night sky, bombarding Xinhe County from all directions.

The rocket was covered with cloth strips soaked in fire oil, and it would catch fire if it touched it.

All of a sudden, the overwhelming rockets shot into the city and landed on the roofs and streets.

Before Chao's army withdrew, they had already painted kerosene on the large and small buildings in Xinhe County, and secretly concealed a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter and other fire-seeking objects.

In addition, ancient buildings are basically wooden structures, and the roofs are made of straw. They are all things that are easy to catch fire, and with the addition of a large amount of kerosene, it is even more out of control.

boom!
Just a wave of rockets landed in Xinhe County, and the entire county was instantly on fire.

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 enemy troops in Xinhe County were frightened.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

For a while, the Koryo army horses patrolling the city were the first to react, running around in panic and shouting, carrying wooden barrels to put out the fire.

However, in the huge Xinhe County, the flames soared into the sky, the sea of ​​flames churned, and the existence of raging fires that destroyed the sky and the earth could not be extinguished by manpower.

Even though more and more people were awakened by the fire and began to put out the fire in a panic, it was still to no avail.

The entire Xinhe County was plunged into a sea of ​​​​fire. Countless Goryeo soldiers were burned alive by the fire in their sleep and choked to death by the thick smoke.

Water and fire are ruthless, in front of the forces of nature, no matter how many soldiers and horses, they all seem so weak at this moment.

Li Zailong was also awakened in his sleep. When he opened his eyes, the outside of the window was red, and he felt the surrounding area was so hot that he couldn't open his eyes.

Li Zailong was completely sleepless at that moment, and was shocked in his heart. He stared at the raging fire outside the room with his mouth agape, his face turned pale.

Finished!

Li Zailong's face was like ashes, with endless despair in his heart and dull eyes. If it wasn't for the support of the guards beside him, he would have already slumped on the ground at this time.

With such a huge fire, how could Li Zailong not know that he had fallen into the Han people's conspiracy.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Why should I have known today?

Do you regret it?

What's the use? Not to mention how many people will be left in this 13-strong army.

Even in this sea of ​​flames, it is still unknown whether Li Zailong can escape.

"General, General..."

At this moment, a person rushed in at the gate of the county government, calling Li Zailong at the top of his voice.

Li Zailong was startled by the call and came back to his senses. He looked up and saw that the person coming was Han Chenghu.

"Chenghu, I'm here."

"General, you are fine."

Han Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Zailong was safe and sound. Li Zaiyong was the God of War in the Goryeo army. As long as he was not dead, there was still hope for the Goryeo soldiers.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, Han Chenghu's face suddenly changed again, and he became angry.

"General, the Han people are cunning. We have fallen for their tricks. The Han people have stored a large amount of kerosene and other fire starters in Xinhe County in advance."

"Now the city is blazing with flames, and there is a sea of ​​fire everywhere. There are Han troops and horses at the west gate, east gate, and south gate. We can only break out from the north gate."

Hearing Han Chenghu's words, Li Zailong calmed down a little bit of shock, but there was no surprise on his face. If Li Zailong formed an army, he would also use the tactic of surrounding three and missing one.

"Although there are no soldiers and horses at the North Gate, the Han people will definitely set up an ambush and set up an encirclement circle, waiting for us to break through." Li Zailong calmly analyzed.

"Then what should we do? Are we really going to burn him alive here?" Han Chenghu was worried, his face full of panic.

If he charged forward, Han Chenghu wouldn't even blink his brows, but he was afraid that in this little Xinhe County, he would be burned alive for no apparent reason.

So fucking aggrieved.

"No!"

"Let's rush out from the north gate. Even if the north gate is a mountain of swords and fire, I will still break through!"

"The person in this world who can stop me, Li Zailong, hasn't been born yet!"

Li Zailong interrupted Han Chenghu's words, with a resolute and decisive look on his face, and an unparalleled strong self-confidence burst out of his body.

This is the real Goryeo God of War.

Even if the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is low, even if the national strength is weak.

But a famous general is still a famous general, and the God of War is still the God of War.

I would rather die on the battlefield or on the way to the charge than shrink back and be timid and die in confusion in this sea of ​​​​fire.
