Chapter five hundred and eleven burning oneself camp
The overwhelming rockets shot from all directions into our own stronghold that had been arranged for a long time, tightly wrapping Hebei general Tu Xiong and a group of Yuan soldiers under his command.
Since sulfur, hay, tree paint and other easy-to-ignite fire starters have been arranged in the camp for a long time, and the weather has begun to become hot and dry at this time, it is easy to ignite the fire, and the entire camp will be burned like a furnace in an instant.
Usually, those neatly arranged grain carts were ignited one after another, and in an instant a blazing fire dragon formed in the camp, roaring towards Yuan Jun.
Tu Xiong was stunned when he saw it. He had no idea that the Xuzhou Army would use such a desperate method to defeat themselves even if they didn't even need Dazhai.
He didn't understand that even if Taishi Ci burned down the camp and defeated him with a fire trick, what was the meaning of the battle?
His troops had no camps, no supplies of food and grass, no shelter, and even the strategic fortifications that guarded his southward march no longer existed.
So what's the point of him winning this battle?
Isn’t this what Taishi Ci did?
But ideas are ideas, and the current situation does not allow Tu Xiong to think too much. Saving his life first is his top priority.
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the inverted fire dragon rushed towards Tu Xiong along the sulfur line on the ground.
"Quickly retreat!" Tu Xiong looked at the fire dragon coming with the wind, his liver and gallbladder were split, and he was scared to death.
"Run!" The guards and soldiers of Yuan Jun under his command also shouted loudly.
Yuan Jun's formation was in disarray. When they saw the growing flames, they moved back one after another. Countless people were trampled to death, but everyone was so helpless just to survive. The power of nature was beyond their ability to compete with.
, some Yuan soldiers even raised their swords high to cut down their own people who stood in front of them in order to escape.
And those who went to check the food and grass early had already been killed and injured numerous times in the fire.
Tu Xiong, however, was carried by several guards around him and ran towards the camp gate at the rear.
As a general, Tu Xiong couldn't care less about the Yuan troops under his command who were crying for their fathers and mothers. The soldiers he threw in the rear camp were now defeated. Countless people were buried in the sea of fire, and at this time, they were the tents in the camp.
When the thick smoke mixed with the sulfur came out, many of Yuan's soldiers were either burned to death or suffocated to death in the thick smoke.
Tu Xiong looked back and saw that the elite Yuan army he had built with his own hands had been burned to such an embarrassing state by Tai Shici. He felt a surge of anger in his heart but had no way to vent it. He spat out a mouthful of blood, frowned and roared: "
Taishi Ci, you are so cruel! Let me see how long you can remain proud!"
"Whoosh whoosh..."
As if to mock Tu Xiong's roar, the piercing whistling of sharp arrows from far to near was frightening.
Outside the camp, long arrows filled the sky, covering the sky filled with smoke. The Hebei army running out of the camp fell to the ground with arrows. They had just emerged from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den, while the sound of drums urging the battle ahead was deafening.
In the Dazhai behind him, piles of flames rose into the sky like a roaring fire dragon, like a scorching hell, making people suffocate and tremble.
In front of them were countless heavily armed Xuzhou troops roaring towards Tu Xiong.
Tu Xiong gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Follow me! Either way, you will die. Let's fight these Xuzhou troops!"
The shocked soldiers of Yuan Army wanted to bury their heads in the soil and pretend not to hear Tu Xiong's shouts. They had just escaped from the scorching hell behind them and ascended to heaven. Some of them had suffered severe burns and could not stop talking.
Wailing, now relying solely on the desire to escape from this place to support himself, how could he be in the mood to fight the Xuzhou Army again?
But the reality is before us, either fight or die...or surrender.
In desperation, the weakened Yuan army could only rush forward and fight against the Xuzhou army.
Tu Xiong led the way, wielding a huge iron knife and charging back and forth. Wherever he passed, a cloud of blood would be sprayed out.
Tu Xiong is Yan Liang's most proud lieutenant. Yan Liang has always regarded himself as the bravest general of the three armies. The reason why Tu Xiong is reused and appreciated by Yan Liang is because Tu Xiong is also a brave and fierce general.
While Tu Xiong was fighting in the formation, killing Xuzhou's army with his own hands, he shouted angrily: "Taishici! Get out of here! I know you are here! Setting fire and arrows to burn down your nest is nothing! If you have the ability to come out and fight against me, I will."
When you joined the army, you were still breastfeeding at home..."
Suddenly, a distant and crisp roar came from the Xuzhou Army's rear formation, and then, a warrior holding a painted halberd and covered in silver armor rushed out of the Xuzhou Army's rear formation like a meteor.
Without pausing for a moment, he headed straight for Tu Xiong to kill the general.
The speed is too fast! It’s so fast that people can’t react.
Tu Xiong was actually just talking about being happy. He didn't expect that Tai Shici would actually come out. He subconsciously reined in the horse and looked at the other person. He saw that the man who came was handsome and mighty, with a cold light flashing in his eyes and a piercing heat.
The contrast between the eyes and the stern face is shocking.
Before Tu Xiong could react, the white horse that the other party was sitting on had already galloped in front of Tu Xiong. With an understatement of the halberd, a bloody wound was made on Tu Xiong's cheek. If Tu Xiong hadn't flashed
So fast, I'm afraid the whole face has been shaved off by the other party.
In an instant, blood flowed from Tu Xiong's face like pillars. Tu Xiong screamed repeatedly and covered his face with one hand. Scarlet blood gurgled out from the gaps between his fingers.
Taishi Ci stopped his horse, looked at him calmly, and said: "At your invitation, a certain family has come out."
Tu Xiong roared angrily, raised the sword in his hand, roared and rushed forward to fight Tai Shici bloodyly. His face was splattered with blood, like a devil from hell, but it did not affect his anger for revenge at all.
He just wants to kill Tai Shi Ci now!
The two horses crossed each other, swords and halberds crisscrossed each other. The two trembled together and started a tit-for-tat duel.
Taishi Ci and Tu Xiong fought for less than ten rounds when they suddenly pulled the reins of their horses and ran towards their own rear formation.
"Taishi, you thief, don't leave! I will fight with you till death today." Tu Xiong shouted and chased after him.
But not long after Tai Shici had jogged, he suddenly stopped his horse, turned over and fired a carbine, with the tip of his halberd right on Tu Xiong's throat.
"Then you go and die." Taishi Ci said calmly.
Tu Xiong's roar suddenly stopped, and he swayed a few times. Then, he fell from his horse on his back and fell to the ground. His breath was coming out, but his breathing was short. It looked like he would not survive.
It sounds slow, but in fact it is extremely fast. It only happened in a split second, and Tu Xiong's guards were unable to come to the rescue in time.
At this time, seeing their own general being assassinated by the other side, Sergeant Yuan's soldiers all turned pale with fright. They all roared angrily and rushed towards Tai Shici to kill the general.
Taishi Ci always had a high opinion of himself, so he didn't take these small guards seriously. He swung the halberd in his hand and heard a crisp sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
He resisted, but instead stabbed six of Yuan Jun's guards in succession. Taking advantage of the opponent's fright, Taishi Ci shouted loudly: "Tu Xiong is dead, the enemy army has been routed, kill the soldiers!"
After saying that, he was seen rushing over here at the lead, and the Xuzhou army behind him also rushed towards Yuan Jun like a tsunami.
Not long after, there was a rout on the Yuan Army's side, and then it spread quickly like a contagious plague. Most of Yuan's soldiers had no choice but to give up resistance and surrender to the Xuzhou Army, while the rest fled in all directions.
.
Having lost their morale and fighting spirit, no matter how large their numbers were, they became just a decoration. Under the leadership of Tai Shici, the Xuzhou Army completely annihilated the Hebei Yuan Army led by Tu Xiong.
The victory was a victory, but Taishi Ci was still very uneasy.
This victory was obtained by using the entire Dazhai and food and grass. At present, our troops have nowhere to return and only have a few days of rations with them, while Yan Liang's main troops are still not far away.
Ready to move.
The grain and grass from Xuzhou will not arrive until ten days. Even if it does, we don’t have a stronghold, so where should the grain transport team be sent?
How to fight the next battle?
Taishi Ci felt a little confused.
Only the pottery merchant can tell him where his next way out should be.
