The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1671 Tanzhou Changes Owner Again

The Song army was well prepared. After the round of splashing just now, the range of the fire oil was very fast, and the amount was already enough, so now that the fire is everywhere, the soldiers who are close can't avoid it and run around. It doesn't matter if you run away, it leads the fire to a farther place.

Although the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom also wore armor, they mostly wore leather products, which were easy to catch fire, which further contributed to the spread of the fire, and there were wailing sounds everywhere.

Yelu Haowu and Xiao Tianzuo never expected that Zhao Xu would come up with such a move, which made them unable to tell what they were suffering. Using fire to attack, it's also the fault of the Liao people who didn't know about the fire oil, otherwise they would pretend to be defensive and attack at the first drop of oil. When they fell, they should leave quickly, but they were too crazy at that time, and they didn't know these things at all, so they deserved to be swallowed by the ruthless fire,

Looking at Xiaomian's relentless fire, Zhao Xu said slowly: "Compassion does not command soldiers. These are just the scenes in front of you. A general must be ruthless. I didn't agree with this sentence before. I have experienced it for many years. The power of the word."

Zhao Xu looked at the screaming people all by himself and said, war has always been a meat grinder, and only the soldiers at the bottom will always be sacrificed. Now these people who are burned by the fire are the true portrayal.

It will be a success!

The moat here is already full of corpses, and there is nothing to put out the fire at all.

"Scatter and retreat, hurry up." Yelu Haozhao saw that this was not going to work, his soldiers were already demoralized, if something went wrong, it would be really troublesome.

Yelu is good at martial arts, so there is nothing he can do. If he doesn't retreat, the fate of these people he brought is really hard to say. He knows that there will be chaos when he gives the order to retreat.

In order to prevent those who were still dying from causing casualties to his soldiers again, this Yelu Haowu ordered someone to stab those who were covered in fire to death, so that they could not cause secondary harm to others.

The Khitan soldiers with long spears mercilessly stabbed their former comrades in arms. The military order was like a mountain, and they also knew that it was impossible to save them now. The last way to stop them was to kill them.

Looking at the comrades who fell under their own hands, these Khitan soldiers felt uncomfortable, but what can they do?

"Yelu Haowu is really decisive. I thought he would hesitate a bit, but he didn't hesitate to order those soldiers to be killed directly. Such an opponent can bring us huge damage on the battlefield. He has already It’s not the commander of the guards who was beside Ye Luxian back then, but he has grown into an outstanding general.”

Zhao Xu saw Yelu's aggressive actions, he was too decisive, especially the look in his eyes when he directly ordered to kill those people with kerosene on them, it was terrible.

If they fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield, it would really bring huge troubles to the Song Army.

"Gao Qiong, what's the matter with our plan? There must be no mistakes. I thought they would counterattack tomorrow, and we have run out of fire oil. Those fire mines can't be used. That's the last thing." Use it, hurry up."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, and tonight we will be able to complete all the arrangements, and it will be seamless, but the final implementation may lose some people. After all, someone needs to light it, so..."

"Just now I said that one will be successful and ten thousand bones will be dead. These people are the heroes of my Song Dynasty. They recruit people who dare to die. Even if they are gone, their families will all be supported by the court, so they don't have to worry about this."

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Xu still agreed. Sacrificing a small number of people can bring about the benefits of most people. This is a good deal, so why not do it? They didn't explain what plan they were going to implement and lose some people.

The Liao Kingdom retreated, leaving corpses all over the ground, about 2 people. The Song Army did not go out of the city to pursue it. The Song Army’s losses were minimal compared to the Liao Kingdom’s losses. Thousands of people were injured and hundreds of people died. It can be described as a big gain. Victory, but this is not what Song Jun wants.

They knew better that the attack in the future would be even more violent. At that time, it would be the real siege. Today is just a small test to see how powerful the Song army is.

The combat power has not been tested, but the loss is quite a lot. Tomorrow may be the time when the Liao army will retaliate wildly. At that time, who will know whether they will survive, and the soldiers are very disturbed.

At dawn on the second day, horns were blown outside, and the Liao army had only been repaired overnight, and began to attack the city again at dawn this day.

This time people who are different from them have to disperse a lot, and it seems that they are still afraid of a repeat of yesterday's scene, but this time Song Jun has no fire fuel anymore. After all, those things are not ordinary things that cannot be said casually. Now The inventory in the city was also exhausted, and Song Jun had lost a secret weapon.

The strange thing is that this time the Liao army did not immediately attack the city, they just suppressed the archers of the Song army on the top of the city below, and the arrows came towards the top of the city like lifeless. There is an army, yes, it is an army, without any warning, it seems to be drilled out of the ground. Judging from their costumes, it is the Liao army.

Fighting against the Song Army in the city, this time the Song Army was out of luck. These people came out of nowhere, and there were quite a few of them. This put a lot of pressure on the Song Army. The Liao army stormed the city as if they had received the signal.

Cooperating from inside to outside, this dealt a great blow to the Song army, and the Song army suffered great damage. Moreover, there were more and more Liao troops in the city at this time, and several batches of soldiers on the top of the city had already died. If this continues, it will be over.

Zhao Xu organized people to resist and retreat at the same time. Yes, retreat. Now there is no way to retreat. The Song army is fighting and retreating. They all gather towards the south gate. If they want to retreat, they can only go to the south. Other places Not at all.

In contrast, the Liao army was even more heroic and could not hold back their offensive at all. The Song army withdrew from the fierce battle until the morning, and Tanzhou became the city of the Liao army again, but there were not many people left. There are only a few hundred people, and Tanzhou City has changed its surname again.

But Song Jun ran away in a panic, and there were many corpses left behind. Could it be that Song Jun was really defeated, and so quickly?
