Chapter 740 No one thought that the An army, which had always been greedy for life and afraid of death, would use the method of burning jade and stones, pouring a large amount of fire oil on the city wall in advance, and burning the soldiers of both sides who were desperately fighting on the city wall. 78 no pop-up window update fast This fire, from the top of the city wall to the bottom of the city wall, even the wind army outside the city was affected, many people were on fire, shouting and rolling all over the ground, and the wind army that was not affected was also swept back again and again by the oncoming heat wave.
Looking at the wall that had turned into a wall of fire in front of them, the soldiers of the Wind Army were all dumbfounded, they had experienced countless siege battles, but this was the first time that the enemy army defending the city by such means had encountered it.
Looking at the struggling crowd in the sea of fire, listening to the heart-rending screams, people felt a chill in their hearts.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an angry roar from the city gate tower, and then a fire shadow burst out of the city gate tower, and fell sharply from mid-air, and I heard a heavy muffled sound, and the fire shadow fell heavily to the ground, and the flames were shaken far away.
People couldn't identify who this person was, and when they were hesitating whether to come forward to rescue them, someone in the wind army suddenly shouted: "It's the king who quickly extinguishes the fire, brothers hurry up and help the king put out the fire."
As soon as they heard that this Hokage was the king, the soldiers of the Wind Army all gasped, and surrounded them one by one, either untying off the outer sheath, or tearing off their robes, and slapping the flames on the Hokage's body vigorously.
Soon, Sergeant Kaze took off his helmet, dug out the sand from the ground, and raised it on the Hokage.
Under the rescue of many wind troops, the fire on the Hokage's body was finally extinguished, and people looked at it again, at this time, the person lying on the ground who had almost been buried in the sand was not the king or anyone Now, the spirit armor on Tang Yin's body had been burned red, hissing and emitting white smoke, and he lay on his stomach on the ground, snorting and panting.
The "king" Ah San, Ah Si, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and others rushed out of the crowd and dragged him out of the sand with all hands and feet.
They were about to help Tang Yin up, but the latter's body shook suddenly, throwing everyone away, and then jumped up, even though his current appearance was extremely embarrassed, but he still held the spirit sword in his hand.
After getting up, he gritted his teeth and said in a condensed voice: "Anren is hateful, let me continue to attack the city" Everyone looked at each other, the walls of the imperial town had been burned like this, and the fire did not know when it would stop, and how to attack the city now Ah San and Ah Si were about to speak, but after taking a closer look, they suddenly found that Tang Yin's eyes were tightly closed, and the surroundings of his eye sockets were smoked red, even if his eyes were closed, tears still kept flowing out.
It seems that the king's eyes were burned, Ah San'a Si stepped forward, hugged Tang Yin's arms, and said in a trembling voice: "King, the fire on the city wall is burning vigorously, and it can't be extinguished for a while, the soldiers really can't continue to go up, let's suspend the siege today."
The spirit armor could protect Tang Yin's body from being burned, but the only place that could not be protected was his eyes, at this time, his eyes could not be opened at all, and he could not see the situation on the city wall clearly.
Hearing Ah San Ah Si's words, he clenched his fists vigorously, muttered for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Withdraw the troops for the time being, and fight again tomorrow."
Tang Yin's main attack on the north side of the city temporarily withdrew, and the wind army in the east, south, and west also chose to retreat one after another, and the all-day siege battle finally ended with the active retreat of the wind army.
In this battle, the number of casualties on both sides of the attack and defense was quite large, the security army, the loss was 30,000, and the loss of the wind army was also about the same, and the largest casualties were on the side of Beicheng.
An entire city wall was burned, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the Feng'an and Feng'an armies died in the fire alone.
When the battlefield was cleaned up after the war, the scene was filled with the smell of burning, and the corpses that had been burned to black and deformed could be seen everywhere.
Many of the corpses were embraced by several or a dozen people, and they were inseparable, and the armor and military uniforms on the corpses were completely burned, and it was impossible to distinguish which ones were their own brothers and which were the remains of the enemy.
The scene is miserable, as if hell is presented in the world, which makes people shudder.
For the corpses of the soldiers on both sides of the enemy, the corpse collection teams on both sides could not distinguish and confirm in detail, and could only determine that the corpses on the city wall were all security troops, and the corpses under the city walls were all wind troops.
Personnel from both sides loaded the bodies into trucks and transported them.
On the first day of the siege battle, the commander of the northern city of the An army, Lieutenant General Cheng Huaisong, was martyred, and six of the ten partial generals under his command were also lost, but the Feng army did not get a bargain, at least Tang Yin's eyes were burned, which made the soldiers of the Feng army worried.
Fortunately, Tang Yin is a secret cultivator, his own recovery ability is very strong, and with Su Yelei and other medical officers carefully treating him, the burns in his eyes were quickly controlled, but it still needs a period of time to recuperate, and he can't see for the time being.
In the evening, the wind camp, the middle military tent.
Now, Tang Yin's eyes have been medicated and wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and he is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Zhongjun tent, and the generals are sitting on both sides.
Looking at Tang Yin's appearance, Ziying asked in a low voice with concern: "The king's eye injury is okay?"
"It's just a small injury."
Tang Yin replied indifferently, and then, clenched his fists, slammed his seat, and said in a deep voice: "An people are hateful, they actually poured fire oil on the city wall, and wanted to die with our soldiers, what kind of person is this Cheng Huaisong?"
The generals looked at each other, but in fact, the Feng army had very limited information about Anguo, and they did not take Anguo seriously, and there were very few Anguo generals who were familiar with and understood.
Cheng Huaisong is just a lieutenant general, also known as an unknown person, who will pay attention to him "Perhaps, even if An Guo dies, no matter what, he has been buried in the fire today, and the king no longer needs to worry about it."
Qi Heng said with relief.
"Of course I don't care about a dead person, what I want to know is how many people like Cheng Huaisong are there in Anguo, and how many generals are willing to burn with our army."
Tang Yin turned his head to face Qi Heng, even though his eyes were covered with gauze, Qi Heng still felt like two sharp eyes were staring at him.
He shrank in fright, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say more.
Ziying continued: "There shouldn't be many people like Cheng Huaisong in Anguo, otherwise, it wouldn't be only Beicheng who was doused with fire oil." ” Tang Yin nodded and said, "Early tomorrow morning, our army will continue to attack the city, this time, no matter what, we will tear apart the city defense of the An army for me and enter the imperial town."
Liu Zhang owed, and cautiously arched his hand and said: "King, today our army has consumed most of the stone bullets and crossbow arrows, if we continue to attack tomorrow, I am afraid that the brothers below will suffer huge casualties."
His words resonated with many generals, and people nodded their heads, indicating that what Liu Zhang said was right.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Liu Zhang, what about your opinion?"
"Our army will rest for a few days for the time being, and it will not be too late to attack the town after preparing enough stone bullets and crossbow arrows."
"Our army is resting, and the An'an army is also resting, and if the two armies are facing each other, how can they give the enemy a chance to breathe, and then decline, and then exhaust, and if it drags on, it will be detrimental to our army.
War must start tomorrow, and the Angolan army must not be allowed to think that our army is weak. ” Tang Yin said it categorically, and his tone revealed a firmness that could not be refused.
Xiao Muqing immediately nodded his head and responded: "What the king said is extremely true, now that the morale of our army is flourishing, if we truce because of the unfavorable first battle, it will greatly damage the morale of our army." ” "Tomorrow, the new army will still focus on the northern city, the plain army will take the initiative to attack the eastern city, the eagle army will mainly attack the western city, and the direct army will take the initiative to the southern city, and continue to put pressure on the defenders of the imperial town.
An is weak in nature, and when he starts a war of attrition, over time, there will be chaos within the An army. ” "Yes, the last general obeys the order" The generals heard that the king's war intention had been decided, and they did not dare to mention the word truce again, and people intervened to receive the order.
After the tent was dispersed, Tang Yin returned to his sleeping tent with the support of Ah San and Ah Si, and not long after he sat down, Ren Xiao came.

He said: "I went to Medical Officer Su just now, and I heard Medical Officer Su say that His Highness's eye injury can be healed in three or five days. ” "It's fine now, it's just a little dry."
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
At this time, Yin Lan also walked in from outside, came to Tang Yin's side, and said in a low voice: "King, this is the news I just got.
As she spoke, she handed a piece of origami to Tang Yin, and when she saw that he didn't answer, she suddenly remembered that the king couldn't see now, she opened the origami, and said, "It has been reported that many rangers from Ningdi, Modi, Huandi, Andi, and Zhendi are gathering in Kawaguchi-gun, Anguo. ” "Kawaguchi-gun" Tang Yin subconsciously helped the map on the table in front of him, and muttered: "Kawaguchi-gun is not close to the imperial town. ” "Yes, Lord, from the town to Kawaguchi-gun, you have to pass through the two counties of Boxer and Shirokane."
Yin Lan replied.
"I can tell the purpose of the rangers from all over the world to Kawaguchi-gun."
"It's unclear what their intentions are, but it's likely that they're coming at our army."
Yin Lan analyzed.
Now that Feng'an and An'an are at war, at this juncture, rangers from all over the country are gathering in Anguo, and nine times out of ten they are not good.
Tang Yin was stunned, then smiled on his back and said, "This is a good thing."
Yin Lan and Ren Xiao on the side were stunned, not understanding why Tang Yin said this.
Tang Yin sneered: "Anguo is now at the point of life and death, if my country annexes Anguo again, the national strength will be stronger, and the strength will be greater.
This is a good opportunity for my country, a good opportunity to catch all these ill-intentioned people."
"The King Means" "Don't pay attention to them, let them gather in Kawaguchi County, and after we capture the imperial town, we will concentrate on encircling and suppressing these rangers who don't know whether they are alive or dead" The corners of Tang Yin's mouth provocated, revealing a bloodthirsty smile
