Walking in the infinite world

Chapter 85 The Burning Flame

Shenyang had fallen. Although Lu Xiao had been prepared for a long time, the speed of the fall still left him speechless.In six days, Shenyang was surrendered by several defenders in the city.

To know what level of northern important town Shenyang is.At the time of the Battle of Sarhu, the city was the base camp of the Northern Expedition.The reserves of various grain and weapon resources in the city are astronomical.There are also red cannons of the Ming army on the city wall.

Under such a strong logistical reserve, it only lasted for less than six days before it fell.The main reason is that the defenders in the city do not want to fight.And they felt that sending a complete city would be more important.

With the fall of Shenyang, dozens of military settlements around the city lost their ability to resist and fell one after another.For a time, Huang Taiji's name went straight to Nurhaci.He took his seat completely.

Huang Taiji knew his purpose very well, so he entered the city for the first time.Immediately sent people to check the warehouses everywhere.After confirming that the pile of food, grass and weapons was full, he breathed a sigh of relief.With the reserves of these dozen large and small cities, Houjin's military strength can be improved to a higher level.The plan for the horse to step on the Central Plains can also take a step forward.

At this time, in Shenyang City, in a secret house.A group of people are gathering together to discuss something.

"There is an order from above, ordering us to start the Scorched Earth Project. Brothers, over the years, everyone's salary is more than five times that of other colleagues. The elderly and children in the family are all taken care of. Now, it's time for us to contribute. Granary, Ordnance, stables, you can choose by yourself.

Now the Tartars must take strict precautions, although we have left behind.But it's still a close call.Commander gave us a promise.But anyone who can go back alive this time.If you want to be an official, you will be promoted to three ranks.For those who want to go home, 500 acres of fertile land, two cattle, [-] taels of silver. "

After he finished speaking, everyone in the room was silent for a while, and then spoke up.

"Whoever eats the food will sacrifice his life. My life is ready to be thrown here."

"Me too."

"Me too."

"I can go to yours. I don't want to die here, I want to go back to be an official. My family has been passed down for seven generations, and there is still no official one. I will be promoted to three levels, at least it will be a general banner. I will go back to my hometown at that time. , that is not honoring the ancestors."

"."

Shenyang City suddenly became chaotic.First, when a group of Tartars were patrolling the streets, they were killed by a group of men in black, armed with military bows and crossbows.

This time, it angered the Tartars in the city.Hundreds of Tartars joined the hunt for the group.At this time, even greater confusion emerged.

Fire, fire everywhere.The square city, the residential area, and even the mansions of many officials were inexplicably set on fire.

The city had just fallen, and everything was in chaos.Counting on those Tartars to govern a city is as difficult as counting on a sow to climb a tree.So, the flames in more than one place quickly got out of control.

At this time, Huang Taiji also knew very well that someone was deliberately making trouble.But it's no use knowing.Fire still needs to be saved.The other party was clearly arson with purpose.So, the fire spread so fast.

Huang Taiji wanted this city as a base camp for the future south.Naturally, it is impossible to let it burn.So a large number of the surrendered Ming army was sent out by him to put out the fire.As for the Tartars, they will not put out fires.They were in charge of hunting down the arsonists.

But soon, the hunted Tartars discovered a serious problem.That is the enemy's kerosene is too much.So far, not only have they not caught anyone, they have even been designed to burn two teams to death with kerosene.

The leading general felt wrong for the first time.This is not a temporary initiative, but a plan that has been prepared for a long time.And if all this is really planned.That's a big problem.Because the place is now burning, although it seems serious.But it's not enough to make Tartar hurt.

But there are a few places if there is a fire.That would be fatal.

He immediately wanted to go back to inform his superiors.But at this time, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot out of the darkness and hit him in the throat.

"The heat is almost over. Let that side do it."

When the granary burned, Huang Taiji almost went crazy.

"Fight the fire and block off all the surrounding streets. Find the arsonists and let the Ming soldiers find them. If you can't find them, let them be buried with them."

It is impossible for Huang Taiji not to be angry about this.In his opinion, such an action could be launched in such a short time.It must have a huge influence in Shenyang City.Those generals who surrendered were absolutely indistinguishable.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, more serious news came.The armory also caught fire, then the stables.

Huang Taiji only felt a slap in his brain.The whole person almost fell to the ground.But he is also a generational hero.Still respond quickly.

"Quick, quick, other cities. Go quickly." He shouted, and finally let his subordinates understand the seriousness of the matter.But by this time, it was already too late.

In any city that was captured by Huang Taiji, a similar fire broke out almost at the same time tonight.Countless grains, ordnance, and stables were burned.

The spreading fire, the panicked horses, and the fleeing crowd directly plunged the entire Liaodong into an unprecedented chaos.

All the tartars are going crazy.Even if their IQ is not high, they know what will happen when the grain is burned.Either starve, or continue to fight south.But if you continue to go south, you have to have the support of grain and grass?
Almost all Tartars, all surrendered Ming troops were mobilized to put out fires and arrest people.A large number of spies were arrested.But they were already mentally prepared.The vast majority of people took the poison directly, or committed suicide by wiping their throats with swords and swords.

A few were captured alive, but of little significance.The fire is already burning.These spies themselves came with a mortal mentality.Except for a very small number of people, they don't even know who orchestrated it all.They only know to work when they receive the signal.And as long as he dies, his family will be better taken care of.

No matter how many spies you kill, no matter how much information you get from them.Losses are unavoidable.The arsonists used refined kerosene.With the fire together, the general fire extinguishing method does not have much effect at all.

Even the Tartars used the sword to force the captured Ming troops to go in to rescue the food.But still more than [-]% of the food was completely burned.The rest of the armament and the loss of horses cannot be counted up to now.

After the food was gone, it also brought a very serious consequence.So what about these surrendered Ming troops?At the beginning, there was enough food and grass, and it was no problem to accept it as cannon fodder.

But now, the grain tartar itself is not enough to eat
