The emperor's plan: to rule the world

Chapter 1113 The Fury of Huo Gong
Feng Yu spread her hands: "But it is obvious that the generals defending the city of Qi are not stupid, and they will definitely not use their own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strong points."

Gu Yuxuan was silent for a while, got off his horse and stood in front of the drum, picked up two drumsticks placed beside him and beat them down heavily.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dense battle drums sounded gradually, getting louder and louder, as if they were coming from a very far away place. Among the thundering battle drums, there was a faint sound of gold and iron horses, as if beating on the apex of the heart.

The army quickly changed its formation, and all the heavy equipment used in the siege were pushed to the front, constantly hitting the relatively weak city wall. Under the defense of the shield, the archers shot towards the city wall with dense arrow feathers. Soldiers covering the ladder climb relieved them of stress.

On the city wall, one person fell, and soon another person took his place again.

The ladder climbed up the city wall, and the soldiers leaned on the wall. Suddenly, Feng Yu, who had been closely watching the battle situation, shrank her pupils and said coldly: "They are preparing to attack with fire."

Gu Yuxuan paused, the sound of war drums paused for a moment, and then changed the rhythm again.

Oil and spirits were poured down the ladder, and countless wine jars were smashed into the middle of the army. When the army on the city wall set up burning arrows, the army of Yan Kingdom retreated neatly like the tide.

The front army started to retreat, but no matter how sharp Feng Yu's reaction was, the speed of the army's retreat could not compare to Jian Yu's speed.

The fire that swallowed everything quickly swept through the city wall, and a sea of ​​flames burned under the city. The soldiers who had no time to retreat were caught in the fire and howled everywhere.

Gu Yuxuan's face was ice-cold, he turned around and looked at the cold-faced man on the city wall, a strong murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

He said coldly: "The whole army retreated five miles, camped in place, and surrounded the capital for this king."

……

In the military tent, Feng Yu slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "It's unreasonable, they dare to use such despicable means on the battlefield."

"I like setting fire so much, I will let them burn it up when I capture the capital."

The generals in the military tent looked at each other, not understanding why the two princes were so angry.

Gu Yuxuan sat on the lower left side of Feng Yu without saying a word, seeing him so angry, his face also turned cold.

Under the city wall today, the soldiers who were caught in the flames and had no time to retreat were burned to death. Even those who were rescued had multiple burns on their bodies, and those who were slightly heavier could not survive.

Burns are much more difficult to treat than other injuries, and it is difficult to get better. The pain they bring to people is far beyond comparison with other injuries.

Killing is nothing more than nodding. Most of the generals led by Yan Kingdom would not use this extreme method, it is too cruel.

Moreover, if the fire is not well controlled, it is easy to cause a large-scale fire, so whether it is him or Feng Yu, even Mo Yan who is far in the north and Qin Shu who is in charge of the Shence Army are especially opposed to this method.

If not, what they put in their catapults is not a stone, but a wine jar.

If they wanted to, they could set fire to the capital.

The generals were stunned, the people following Gu Yuxuan were fine, they vaguely understood why their lord was angry, and why he ordered the withdrawal of troops so simply and neatly.
