The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 435 Xue Rengui Borrows the East Wind

As the cowhide balloon was shot by Xue Rengui with an arrow, it fell directly from the sky.The wine jar containing the fierce fire oil was smashed directly, and the fire in the porcelain basin naturally splashed everywhere.

In an instant, the fierce fire oil on the ground was ignited, and the raging fire burned on the ground.It has not been extinguished for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Chuliang and the others were stunned for a moment, and said to Xue Rengui in disbelief: "Brother Xue, how did you come up with this idea?"

"I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Back then, His Royal Highness and Princess Wang arrived in Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province in a huge hot air balloon." Xue Rengui said with a smile.

"Let me just say, apart from Your Highness, there might not be anyone who can tinker with this kind of thing. But Big Brother Xue also uses it miraculously, and I really admire it." Cheng Chuliang gave Xue Rengui a thumbs up and said.

"Brother Xue, everything is ready now. Why wait three days later, why don't we do it tonight." Du He said happily.

"The reason why I decided to do it in three days is that the hot air balloon needs the help of the wind. I have been watching the sky for many days, and the east wind will blow in three days. At that time, the east wind will send these hot air balloons to Hezui Rock." Xue Rengui said .

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded, praising Xue Rengui for knowing so much.Even such mysterious and mysterious things as watching the sky at night can be mastered.

But what they didn't expect was that there were several people watching them on the hill not far away.

"Your Majesty, I'm not wrong. Three days later, Hezui Rock will be burnt to rubble." Xu Maogong said to Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin also kept nodding his head, and said, "As expected of my minister Ying Meng, he can always think of good solutions at critical moments."

At this time, Yu Chigong who was standing aside said, "Now that everything is ready, why don't you just do it now, and wait until three days later?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Chigong actually asked the same question as Du He, it seems that it is okay to let him charge forward.When it comes to watching the sky, it is a bit difficult for him.

"You said that everything is ready, so don't you owe the east wind. The east wind will blow in three days, and then the wind will help the fire to have the greatest effect." Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

"I didn't expect this kid to have the ability of Zhuge Liang, and he actually played with the wind." Yu Chigong said in admiration.

……

Three days later in the blink of an eye, this morning was still calm.Yuchi couldn't help shaking his head, and said to Xu Maogong: "It seems that your ability to borrow the east wind is worse than Zhuge Liang."

"You, when can you get rid of your impatient temper, then the emperor can really rest assured that you will lead the three armies." Xu Maogong shook his head helplessly and said.

"It's clear that the sky is clear and the sun is sunny for thousands of miles, can you still blow the east wind with your mouth?" Yu Chigong said with a look of disdain.

But at this moment, the military chess that was originally motionless suddenly began to flutter slowly.And the amplitude of the fluttering is getting bigger and bigger.

In just one stick of incense time, the original wind and sunshine have disappeared.Instead, the east wind blew fiercely.

This time, Yu Chi Gong shut up completely, and turned around to go out.But he was pulled back by Xu Maogong.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Maogong asked while pulling Yu Chigong.

"Isn't the east wind already coming? I guess Xue Rengui should do it too. I'll beat the drums to cheer him up." Yu Chigong said with a smile on his face.

"You just wait here honestly. Don't forget that you are the Generalissimo of the Three Armies. Is there such a frizzy Marshal like you? I think you look like that fierce Zhang Fei." Xu Maogong shook his head and said.

But at this time Li Shimin pointed to the sky and said: "Look, Xue Rengui, my virtuous minister Yingmeng, has already started to attack."

At this time, hundreds of balloons floated in the sky, slowly drifting towards the sky above Hezui Rock.It looked like we were about to reach the top of the mountain.

Yu Chigong was taken aback by this, he originally thought there were only dozens or hundreds of them.I didn't expect to release so many at once.

So he said with a worried face: "Not everyone has the arrow skills like Xue Rengui. How can he burst all these balloons?"

……

At this time, Xue Rengui was leading his eight brothers to stand under the Hezui Rock.And there are dozens of arrow beds beside them.

I saw Xue Rengui bent his bow and set an arrow, and released an arrow according to the hot air balloon in the sky.Directly burst the largest hot air balloon.

At the same time, Zhou Qing and others ordered to open the arrow bed.In an instant, thousands of arrows shot into the air.What followed was that countless balloons were shot and burst.

It turns out that this arrow bed can fire more than [-] sharp arrows at a time.And full of strength, much higher than Xue Rengui's shot.

At this time, the Goguryeo soldiers on Hezui Rock raised their huge shields when they saw the arrow bed releasing arrows.Protect yourself behind a shield.

But what they didn't expect was that what fell from the sky was not a sharp arrow.It's an altar of fierce fire oil.

In an instant, the entire Hezui Rock was ignited with raging fire.And there are many that fell directly into the Hezui Rock.As a result, the houses in Hezui Rock were also set ablaze.

All of a sudden, raging fires shot up into the sky, and soon ignited the forests on both sides.The Goguryeo soldiers who were burned were crying for their father and mother and fleeing with their heads in their arms.

At this time, Xue Rengui said to Cheng Chuliang: "General Vanguard, have you prepared everything that the general asked you to prepare?"

"Brother Xue, don't worry, hundreds of ladders are there. As long as Brother Xue gives an order, the vanguard army will start attacking the city." Cheng Chuliang said, patted his chest.

……

The fire burned for a whole day and night, and it was slowly extinguished at noon the next day.

After the fire was extinguished, Cheng Chuliang immediately sent people to climb Hezui Rock with a ladder.Soldiers who climbed the Hezui Rock can still feel the temperature from the stone.

When they raised their swords, they found that there was no one alive in front of them.This inevitably made them put the sword back into the scabbard again.

Because no one resisted, Cheng Chuliang occupied Hezui Rock very smoothly.And ordered people to dig out the sand and stones blocked in the city gate.

It wasn't until the evening that the vanguard of the Tang Army entered the Hezui Rock smoothly.It's just that there are no facilities in the Hezui Rock, because they were all burned by the fire.

So Tang Jun could only clear out a place in Hezui Rock to set up camp.Prepare to welcome Li Shimin and the army into Hezuiyan early the next morning.
