"Xiao Han, are you out of your depth, or are you demonstrating to me?"
Suddenly thinking of this, Li Zhen's eyes immediately became complicated. His deep eyes looked straight at the flames in front, as if he wanted to see clearly the person on the wall behind him through the distorted heat waves.
The fire in front of Ningcheng Gate was really sudden and tragic for the rebels or rebels!
But just as Li Zhen thought, the damage it caused to his army was far less than imagined.
More than a thousand people died, about 200 people were injured, and hundreds more were missing. This is the consequence of this fire.
Some of the missing soldiers here were not seen by others because they rushed into the fire, while others sneaked away because they saw something bad going on.
As for those who were injured, most of them were those who ran fast or had little kerosene on their boots.
There were also a few smarter soldiers who saw the fire chasing them. They quickly threw off their boots and ran barefoot!
In the end, although his flesh and blood were badly cut by the gravel on the ground, he was lucky enough to save a life.
Calculated in this way, the loss was only one or two thousand people, which was almost completely ignored for Li Zhen, who had tens of thousands of troops!
Not to mention that most of these people were thorns in the army and ruffians who did not respect orders, so Li Zhen didn't pay much attention to the fire at all.
However, he seemed to have overlooked one thing. Although the damage caused by the fire was not high, the horrific scene left an indelible shadow in the hearts of many of his subordinates!
As a result, when these people looked at Ningzhou City, the excitement and greed they had before were completely gone, replaced by a touch of fear deep in their hearts.
The fire continued to burn, and after about half an hour, it gradually extinguished because there was no follow-up fuel support.
After the fire that swallowed thousands of lives was completely extinguished, only a piece of scorched earth with black smoke was left on the place. The soldiers caught in the fire had already disappeared, as if they had never come.
Have been to this world.
The strong east wind blew thick black smoke into the sky above Ningzhou City, and the air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell! People couldn't help feeling nauseated and couldn't bear to smell it.
As the current pillars of Ningcheng, Xiao Han and Liu Hongji still stand on the wall.
The ashes blown by the wind fell all over them, dyeing their armor into a gray fluff, but the two of them didn't care at all. Their eyes were still fixed on the busy army outside.
The crops in the east of the city were destroyed after all!
In countless well-cultivated fields, the green wheat seedlings had just grown a little taller when they were ruthlessly trampled into the ground by the rebels and turned into a piece of mud.
Li Zhen, not Cao Cao!
These men of his are not well-trained Danyang soldiers!
Therefore, don't expect him to issue an order that "any generals, big or small, who trample on wheat fields will be beheaded." Don't even dream that he can cut off his hair and set an example by not destroying the grain outside the city.
On the contrary, in order to display the tens of thousands of troops under his command, Li Zhen, without even thinking, had large areas of farmland leveled to build military camps and manufacture siege equipment.
"brute!"
Seeing the rebels on horseback dragging a big tree in the distance, roaring through the green wheat fields, Liu
Hongji punched the wall hard, causing the solid wall to splash with mud!
Next to the wheat field, there is obviously a country road for people and animals to pass, but those thieves refused to walk and insisted on passing by on the green seedlings! How could they be rushing on the road? They were clearly enjoying destroying food!
"They! Don't they cultivate the land and eat food?"
As the father-in-law of Ning Cheng, the fat county magistrate also had his eyes wide open at this moment, looking towards the outside of the city. Even his voice became trembling with grief and anger.
And Liu Hongji and others were not the only ones who were as angry as him.
Seeing that the crops that I worked so hard to grow were just wantonly destroyed by thieves!
All the people in Ningcheng, including the refugees who joined later, could not help but blush at this moment!
Just now, some of them could not bear the thought of those who were burned to death by the fire.
Now, they only hate that the fire was too small, burned not enough people, and was not cruel enough!
Why not burn all these beasts to death?!
"See, these people don't take our life or death seriously at all! Let's fight later! Beat me hard! If you don't beat them to death, they will tear you apart!!!"
Seeing the crops being trampled by the bandits and soldiers, Liu Hongji clenched his bleeding fists, with a livid face, and roared at the soldiers around him!
"Kill them! Beat them to death!"
What responded to Liu Hongji was the hysterical shouting of countless people! At this time, they really had the courage to die with the enemy!
Under the city, Li Zhen's army moved very quickly!
Although Liu Hongji had sent people to burn the trees and forests around Ningcheng in advance, there were so many mountains and forests nearby? They could always find suitable materials in the distance, and then used the stolen ox carts, donkey carts, and even
Horse-drawn carriages were used to transport materials to the city.
A long time ago, Li Zhen had prepared countless siege equipment because of the humiliation Yixue suffered under Jinan City.
Unfortunately, these large-scale equipment specially prepared for Ning Cheng were basically reduced to ashes in that fire!
Fortunately, there are many skilled craftsmen in Li Zhen's army. As long as they have materials and hands, they can always build some simple siege vehicles, siege ladders, and even catapults on the spot.
With the help of these things, Li Zhen didn't believe it. How could his 80,000-strong army not be able to capture the small city of Ningzhou?
I'm afraid that just using people to pile them up is enough to fill the Ningzhou city wall!
"King of Heaven! The things are almost built. Do you want to take them directly to the city and frighten them so that they abandon the city and surrender?"
In the afternoon, Li Shi entered the commander's tent with sweat profusely and carefully asked Li Zhen about his next move.
When Li Zhen, who was concentrating on studying intelligence, heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
After all, he knew that Xiao Han, the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Hongji, the General of the Tang Dynasty, would not be able to commit such a despicable act as surrendering the city.
But just when he raised his head and wanted to shake his head, suddenly, a strange thought came to his mind.
"That's fine! Send more people to keep an eye on it! Drag all those things out of the range of the trebuchet! Also!"
Having said this, Li Zhen paused for a moment, and then looked at Li Shi with burning eyes, "Organize all the elites in the army! Be on standby at any time! Once you see someone going out of the city to destroy those things..." "Xiao Han,
Is this because you are at your wits end, or are you demonstrating to me?"
Suddenly thinking of this, Li Zhen's eyes immediately became complicated. His deep eyes looked straight at the flames in front, as if he wanted to see clearly the person on the wall behind him through the distorted heat waves.
