The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1677 Battle of Tanzhou ([-])

"Your Majesty has already sent people to investigate, but there is no news. The last general is searching all over the city. They will definitely not let them escape. Moreover, Dawang Xiao personally handled this matter, so there should be no problem."

Seeing Yelu Haowu lose his temper, they were also afraid, this Yelu Haowu has never played cards unreasonably, who knows if his anger will cut off their heads.

Yelu Haowu just kept a gloomy face and didn't speak. Seeing that all the grain and grass were about to be buried in the sea of ​​flames, a sudden change occurred. The fire had already become less and less, but at this moment it suddenly increased.

Before Yelu Haowu came to ask what happened again, there were explosions in the distance, which made Yelu Haowu's face change greatly, because the places where the explosions happened were the resting places for soldiers, where did the explosions happen? , those soldiers are in danger.

"Hurry up and get the soldiers together, hurry up." Yelu Haowu didn't care about anything else, so he quickly got the soldiers together, which might reduce casualties.

But as soon as his words fell, the sound of the explosion became even louder, and there was an explosion sound all over the city, and there was a pungent smell coming from these Yeluhaowu. It was tung oil from the Song Dynasty. When did tung oil come out here? .

But he had nothing to think about, Xiao Tianzuo also ran over: "My lord is not good, gunpowder has been buried everywhere in this city, and now our soldiers have lost more than half, we should hurry out of the city, this is Song Jun The conspiracy, this is everything they have arranged long ago."

Xiao Tianzuo looked very embarrassed, there was nothing he could do about it, and there were several burns on his face. It seemed that he was also affected just now. Just after he finished speaking, an explosion occurred in the place where the grain and grass were stored just now. Death is injury.

Yelu Haowu reacted quickly, and pulled Xiao Tianzuo to escape quickly, but the power of this gunpowder is a bit strong, if you dodge easily like this, it can't be called gunpowder, so the two throats As soon as the place was sweet, blood spit out.

"Xiao Tianzuo ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the gate. I don't know how much gunpowder there is still here. My good man from Daliao can't be ruined here like this. Well, the king knows what you want to say, but we still have it." Is there any other way? We have hundreds of thousands of troops, and now there are not many left. We don’t know where the gunpowder is buried here. The Han people just keep the green hills without fear of no firewood, and carry out orders. !"

Yelu Haowu coughed again as he spoke, it seems that he was really injured just now, the explosion here was not so severe, because there is not much gunpowder here, otherwise even Yelu Haowu and the others would have died here.

Xiao Tianzuo also felt uncomfortable. If he hadn't been for Yelu Haowu, he would have been killed by the bomb. He practiced hard qigong, but there is no guarantee that he would not be killed by the bomb.

Moreover, the city was already on fire, and it was getting more and more intense. The ground of the street began to collapse. At this time, I realized that there was a small ditch under the ground, all of which were filled with tung oil, and it was very close to the ground. The gunpowder should also be buried. They were underground, and they were all in places where soldiers gathered. The sleeping soldiers didn't even have time to react, and they were killed in a sea of ​​flames.

"People who come to organize our retreat from the north gate, don't panic, everything follows the rules of marching and retreating, hurry up."

Xiao Tianzuo also knew that abandoning the city at this time was the most unwise choice, but in order to preserve their vitality, they had to do so now. As long as people are still alive, there is hope. Now they have to take the most stupid way, which is to withdraw the troops.

However, their plan was good, and they soon found out that it was not good, because they found that the city gate could not be opened, yes, the city gate could not be opened, and they might not know that Zhao Xu had specially ordered the gate to be poured. Yes, this can be opened in a flash.

"Where are the other city gates, let's go and have a look?" Xiao Tianzuo panicked, the city was already in chaos, but the gate couldn't be opened, doesn't this mean there was a conspiracy?

"No need, the last general also sent people to the other gates just now, only the south gate can be opened, and there are a large number of Song troops gathered outside, the last general has already sent someone to hit the north gate."

The person who went to perform the task is also an exquisite person, even doing things that his master did not arrange, such a person has a bright future.

In the city of Tanzhou, raging fires suddenly ignited in certain places, and half the sky was dyed red in the dark night.

And they still don't know who came in to set the fire. Now they can't figure out that even though Da Song had prepared everything, it is very important that someone came in to set the fire.

When Tanzhou City was occupied, all the people basically left, and it was very difficult for outsiders to sneak in. Not only did some people sneak in, but something happened that made Khitan fall into a catastrophe.

There were flames all over the city. The time of the fire was early and late, but the difference was not too big. For a while, the whole city was full of raging flames.

The fire didn't burn all over the city all at once, it just used kerosene as a trigger to burn the nearby houses and gradually spread.

But at this time, a strong wind is blowing, the wind helps the fire, and the fire takes advantage of the wind, and the sky is full of fire, which is out of control.

The billowing thick smoke covered the sky and covered the earth, and the city of Tanzhou was plunged into panic.

It is unrealistic to want to retreat, because the surviving soldiers also started to mess up, and the chaos became a mess.

In the face of the monstrous fire, the survival instinct of human beings defeated the discipline of the army.There are definitely only a handful of troops that can still abide by military discipline.

Countless crowds were crowded, and they wanted to escape from the city before the fire closed, but they didn't know that the gate of the city was blocked by cement.

But the soldiers still have so much control over there, and the best and most practical thing is to escape for their lives now.

So here comes the problem. It is not easy for so many people to escape. Every moment someone is pushed down and trampled by their companions. Here, human life and discipline have become the least valuable things.

In order to survive, he had to squeeze his way out of the crowd.

Those who stood in front of them were assassinated by their former partners this time. They never expected that the former Paoze would attack them at this time.

Human nature is the most worthless at this time. Anyone who blocks his way of survival will only have a dead end. The Liao army originally had strict military discipline, but at this time, no matter how strict military discipline is, it is no longer enough, and escape is the most important thing.

But escaping for their lives is also their wishful thinking, and some people may disagree!
