Chapter 13 The Flame of Vulcan

The God of Fire is alive!

Almost everyone showed awe when looking at His Highness.

People are superstitious, especially when it comes to unknown things. Whether it is the "artillery" that can spray kerosene more than ten feet away, or the kerosene that burns when fired, it is far beyond the scope of their cognition.

.

Vulcan Zhurong!

Perhaps, this is the only explanation. It seems that this can also explain why His Highness was able to walk out of the fire unscathed... Of course, the bit of burned hair was naturally ignored.

The god of fire descends to earth to save the suffering!

Zhu Guoqiang didn't know what others were thinking, but the heat wave that hit him made him take a few steps back involuntarily. It was too hot. Even though it was snowing in the sky, he still felt like standing on the city wall.

You can feel the scorching heat waves.

Staring at Jinan in flames and seeing houses collapsing from time to time in the flames, Zhu Guoqiang simply couldn't believe that he had "set" the fire.

I just want to burn a few people...

That’s all…

With this thought in his mind, after giving the order to stop shooting and stop wasting "ammunition", Zhu Guoqiang cast his eyes into the distance and couldn't help but think.

"I don't know what the situation is now with the Qing troops outside the city."

Now, except for the royal city, which is protected by a moat more than ten meters wide, and a small area in the north of the city, almost the rest of the city is in a sea of ​​fire. Those Qing troops who attack the city will definitely be buried in a sea of ​​fire. However, outside the city

What about the Qing army?

What actions will they take?

With this thought in his mind, Zhu Guoqiang pretended to be low and said.

"Chief Chen, I'm going to rest in the archery tower for a while. If nothing happens, don't disturb me!"

"Yes, I accept your orders."

Chen Changgeng didn't notice that when he bowed and saluted, his voice was trembling. In his opinion, His Highness beside him was no longer a mortal. He was Zhu Rong, the reincarnation of the God of Fire, who came down to earth specifically to save ordinary people in the world.

.

Not only Chen Changgeng thought so, but other people, regardless of their official position, whether they were soldiers or civilians, when they approached His Highness, they regarded him as a fire god who descended to earth to save people in distress. Even when Zhu Guoqiang turned around and walked towards the archery tower.

, many people knelt down and worshiped, chanting.

"The god of fire bless you, the immortal bless you..."

Feeling the change in the surrounding atmosphere, when he heard "God of Fire", although he was a little stunned, Zhu Guoqiang did not explain it. He was "familiar" with history books and did not mind "pretending to be a ghost". This would at least prevent others from thinking.

They can "guess" the origins of things like water cannons and gasoline. Besides, it's not bad to be regarded as a god!

"Hey, I didn't expect that a fire turned into an immortal..."

After entering the archery tower with pretense, Zhu Guoqiang was still able to pretend. Feeling proud, he quickly took out a box from the side. After unfolding the box, a drone was revealed.

"Okay, let's go reconnoiter the situation outside the city first, and don't let the Qing army take advantage of the situation."

Although he knew that the Qing army would not be able to take advantage of such a huge fire, Zhu Guoqiang still released drones in the archery tower.

With the help of the drone's camera, Zhu Guoqiang could clearly see the appearance of Jinan City - at this time, Jinan City was like a furnace, completely shrouded in monstrous flames. When the drone group passed through the billowing smoke,

Through the screen, he even saw the air flow raised by the flames suddenly rising into the air. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the drone might have fallen into the sea of ​​flames.

"Fly higher..."

After the remote-controlled drone flew out of Jinan City, the world under the camera finally became much clearer. Compared with the inside of the city, the land outside the city was a vast expanse of white. A few kilometers away, you could see

The unclear tent was pitched there.

"Maybe that's the base camp of the Qing army!"

Talking to himself, Zhu Guoqiang flew the drone over there...

When the flames rose in the city of Jinan, Aixinjueluo Yue Tuo, the grandson of Nurhaci and the eldest son of Prince Li Daishan, who was in the camp, had just returned to the camp dragging his sick body. Since the city was destroyed,

Then there was no need to personally supervise the battle. Besides, he could feel that he did not have much time left. Under Jinan City, he contracted the fatal smallpox, and his condition was getting worse and worse in the past few days. Now he only had one thought, that is

Return to Shengjing as soon as possible.

"Go and send a letter to Prince Rui, telling him that the city of Jinan has been destroyed, and then ask him when we will return to the army..."

Before Yue Tuo could speak, someone rushed in and shouted loudly.

"Master Beile, Master Beile, it's not good, it's not good..."

The person who broke in was Li Deyi, a slave under the banner of Xianghong. As soon as he broke in, he cried loudly.

"Fire, fire, the whole city of Jinan is on fire, and the army that entered the city has been thrown into the fire!"

"What!"

Even though he was weak and weak because of contracting smallpox, after hearing the news, Yue Tuo stood up suddenly, grabbed Li Deyi and asked loudly.

"What did you say, what kind of fire, who set the fire!"

"Slave, I don't know this..."

Li Deyi cried.

"I don't know who set the fire. I only know that the fire came from Prince De's Mansion in the north of the city. When the fire started, it was like Zhu Rong descending to earth. It burned up all of a sudden. In an instant, the fire started.

It attracted the entire city of Jinan..."

Li Deyi did not say that Zhu Rong was still alive. When he said this, people around him immediately thought of Ming Dynasty's "Fire Virtue".

"Then, what about those minions..."

Someone from the side immediately asked anxiously.

"Everything was thrown into the fire. I couldn't escape even if I ran away..."

What!

Not to mention Yue Tuo who was so shocked that he could not speak, all the other Gushan Ezhen and Jiala Ezhen were also dumbfounded. How could they not know that after seeing the city broken, those

The slaves who were eager to plunder rushed into the city like crazy. After all, Jinan City is a capital city and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city. How could those slaves miss such an opportunity?

It is not clear how many slaves have been "killed" into Jinan, but the problem is that now they are all trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

"Useless thing, hurry up, bring the horse over to me..."

While yelling, Yue Tuo picked up his weapon and walked out of the tent. But as soon as he left the tent, he saw the thick smoke billowing over Jinan City. Looking at the red flames in the smoke, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.

It’s over!

It’s all over!

Such a huge fire can burn even an Arhat, let alone a human being!
