Chapter two thousand four hundred and five burning the city
After working hard to break through the Song army's city, this was already the limit of the Tubo army. The Tubo people who planned to enter the city to burn, kill, loot, but indulge in it found that the entire Maergan City was empty.
There was no one in the city, but the walls of the north city were full of Song troops. Obviously, the people here had been transferred by the Song army. Garidacuo knew that under this, his promises against his previous soldiers would be shattered.
Recalling the scene where he sneaked into Maerdan before, Garidacuo sighed slightly. He was covered by the troublesome city in front of him. It made it so angry that it was difficult to maintain the situation, and actually forgot that there was still a city in the city!
The northern city of Maerdao is now like a wall of iron. What the Tubo people even more unacceptable is that under the wall of the northern city, there is a huge trench that is more than two meters wide and about three meters deep!
All the excavated wasteland is used as a heightened object on the wall of the North City. Once the Tubo people climbed the city, the sand accumulated on the wall would cause their feet to slip and fall.
Looking at the high northern city wall, Garidacuo ordered the army to be stationed in the city and suspend the attack. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it would take a huge price to conquer the city wall again.
Garidacuo wants to benefit the soldiers in his hands, so that he can attack Beicheng even harder. This is a plundering battle. Only after plundering wealth can he better motivate the army.
The Tubo soldiers kept shrinking in Maerdan's city like hungry wolves. If they could withdraw people in such a short time, they would not bring much wealth. What remains was their wealth after all.
The Tubo people, like wolves and tigers, rushed into the seemingly large tent, constantly rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search for the wealth left by the people of Maergan.
A large silverware often causes a snatch, and if you see a goldware, it is even more amazing. Fighting in groups of three or five is common.
Those who didn't get it were mentally uncomfortable after all, so they tried hard to find the next tent, and the combat power of the Tubo people could almost be zeroed at this time.
More than 30,000 people were plundering the city at a very fast speed, but it also caused waves of howling ghosts and wolves. After the white phosphorus powder was ignited, a tent instantly turned into a sea of fire, instead of the sound of explosions, it made Tubo start to panic.
There was almost no city in the Song Dynasty that had so many wooden structures, and in Maergan, except for the North City, there were tents made of wood and tarpaulin.
The fire quickly swallowed one tent after another. The fire took advantage of the wind and helped the fire. In just two hours, Maer dared to become a living city!
The Tubo people didn't think anything was there at first. After all, it was normal to catch fire, but the fire burned rapidly. Today's flames and heat waves were spinning in the air. Not only was the speed amazing, but the temperature was extremely fierce.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a kind of city-guarding equipment called turbulent oil, and this thing is actually the best flame retardant. After a little refining of this black paste, it turns into a transparent liquid, but it emits a pungent smell. The gasoline obtained after gasification and then condenses is gasoline.
The intensity of gasoline is greater than that of hot turbulent oil. Once it is burned, it will last forever. Even on water, the fire is burning rapidly, and the wind on the plateau will join in the fun, constantly spinning in the air.
The burning flames became a whirlwind, and the wonder of the fire tornado suddenly appeared and became larger and larger. This was due to the terrain of Maergan. It was located on a plain, with no towering mountains around it. The only thing higher than the horizon was the grass slope in the north of the city.
Except for the North Gate, the other three city gates have been broken by Tubo. The cave in the city gate is like a huge wind tunnel, and everything in the city is constantly getting hot under the burning of fire.
The tents were burned, one by one, and the Tubo army scattered in the city was constantly crowded towards the open space in the city.
The fire was burning violently, and at first, there were still people planning to put out the fire, but gradually they found that this was a drop in the bucket. The winding river water passing through the city had long been cut off from the upper reaches by the Song people, and the fire reflected the sky into scarlet red!
Garidacuo and the Tubo army led by him did not expect that the loss after capturing Maergan would be greater than when attacking Maergan City!
Tens of thousands of people were trapped in the sea of fire, and people kept screaming and rushed out of the fire, sank on the ground and died in pain. The Tubo people were shocked. They did not expect that the Song army would turn the entire Maergan City into a huge "white phosphorus bomb"!
As the flames continued to burn, the entire Maer dared to transform into a fire city. Garidacuo could only lead the army to withdraw from the city temporarily. The vacuum area in the city was already in the vacuum area due to the continuous fires, and the oxygen there was quickly burned away, and the most common thing on the plateau was oxygen...
Many Tubo people fell in the fire but were not burned to death. When Garidacuo left Maergan with the remaining Tubo army, he found that nearly 5,000 people were lost to Maergan, which had been captured by Tubo.
These people were not killed in battle, but were completely burned. A big fire made the whole Maer dare to turn into ashes. The fire was missing for three days and three nights, and the thick smoke also guided the direction for Di Qing's troops...
Why did the Song army dig a trench in Maerdao's North City? This trench was not only used to block the Tubo people's attack, but also a huge fireproof ditch to prevent the fire in the city from burning to the North City.
The fires all over the sky were very terrible. Not only did the Tubo people suffer heavy losses, but the Divine Guards stationed in the northern city were not spared. Even when they were prepared, some were still burned by the fire, and some were choked by the smoke and breathless.
Although the entire North City was not burned by the fire, it was attacked by high temperature and thick smoke. Zhao Zhen felt that the North City was like a big steamer, and Cai Boyi was already gasping for breath like a fish that had come ashore. The wet towel covering his mouth and nose was squirting water droplets.
"The fire in the official family is too big, and fortunately the Tubo people retreated. Otherwise, once the city is attacked, the combat power of the Divine Guards will be greatly damaged!"
Zhao Zhen looked at the dark circles on Cai Boyi's face and smiled: "I hope they will attack the city. Under such circumstances, the Tubo people will only lose more. The smoke is rolling at the moment. Di Qing should be able to see it. It is time to come and help and wipe out the troops of Garidacuo!"
Cai Boqi nodded slightly. Two nights ago, he saw a Kongming lantern floating in the distance, which meant that Di Qing's army had arrived at the ambush site safely, and they would wait for the orders that Maer dared to call.
And this fire was an order. If Di Qing still couldn't understand, he would be in vain.
Although Zhao Zhen and Cai Boqi were fumigated into "giant pandas", they still laughed happily. The crisis that Maer dared to be over and everything was settled. Sancai lay on the ground and listened for a long time and stood up and said, "The official family, there are a large number of people approaching the southeast. Di Qing should have arrived!"
Cai Boqi collapsed and sighed: "The official family is so scary!"
