Chapter 450: Burning the Cage Fire City and Destroying the Rebels Jixian, at this time, An Lushan had already converged with Shi Siming, and attacked the Qi army that was defending behind closed doors, but the feng shui took turns, although the solid Jicheng prevented the Qi army from breaking the city at the beginning.
However, now it has also become a difficulty in breaking the city and destroying the Qi army for An Lushan, which is an extreme headache Moreover, the city walls of Jicheng are already strong and solid, but more importantly, the defenders of the An army arranged a lot of garrison materials in the city, but at this time, they all became the key to the Qi army to defend the city.
Not only that, but when the rebels were exterminated at that time, the catapult was also captured, and at this time, the catapult was placed on the front line of the city as a long-range attack, which can be said to have caused a great attack on the Anjun army.
It was only said that the continuous attack was unsuccessful for several days, and An Lushan knew that there was no point in fighting it, so he decisively terminated the siege in order to preserve his strength and stick to the cage fire city, waiting for a good opportunity.
But left and right, but what they waited for was the Xia army and the Yan army to make peace, and Dou Jiande led the army to withdraw to Yishui and Laishui to defend the defense line around it, and there was no end to it, so he went further, continued to attack Youzhou, and fought with Luo Yi for the county.
According to the plan, An Lushan felt that according to the momentum of the Xia army's dispatch this time, Dou Jiande must have aimed to attack Youzhou, but now he made peace with the Yan army and did not continue to attack, which is very puzzling.
In fact, An Lushan was indeed right, but unfortunately it had lowered the influence of the Qi State, in comparison, the benefits of forming an alliance with the Qi army were greater, and what was a mere Youzhou. is saying that Youzhou will not move again, although it has lost the opportunity to seize it this time, it does not mean that there is no chance again.
Therefore, with the retreat of the Xia army at this time, the situation of the An army suddenly became embarrassing, isolated and helpless, if you don't think about countermeasures, I am afraid that it will inevitably fall Soon, An Lushan made up his mind to embark on a road of no return, but before it could be implemented, his army was about to suffer huge losses.
Jicheng It is only said that in recent days, due to the continuous defense of the city by their own army, these elite generals in the army have long been suffocated, and they can't help but ask Su Lie for battle, ask for orders to go out of the city, engage in field battles with the rebels, and defeat them in one fell swoop.
However, this request was undoubtedly rejected by Su Lie on the spot, and it was strictly forbidden to go out of the city, otherwise it would be the words of the orderer.
However, today Su Lie was extraordinary, and he took the initiative to gather all the generals under his command in the military palace to discuss the matter, and all the generals did not have to go to the military palace hall with doubtful eyes for a while.
After all, the tactics implemented in the past few days have all been closed, and the strength of the rebels is consumed by defending the city, could it be that now Su Lie suddenly figured out that he wanted to issue an order to go out of the city to fight However, everything must not be done yet, and it is still necessary to wait for specific instructions to be said In the mansion, Su Lie, who was on top of the handsome position, saw that all the generals were all in place, and couldn't help but say: "The generals looked at the main seat with doubtful eyes, and they must have doubts about summoning you to come here today."
"I am not satisfied with you, I summoned you here today, just as you wish, open the city gates, go out of the city to meet the enemy, defeat the rebels in one fell swoop, and then lead the army to join the king of Qi."
Hearing this, although the generals had a premonition, after hearing it with their own ears, they still felt a burst of disbelief, that is, they really opened the city and went out to face the battle After being shocked, Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask slowly: "General, is what you said true?"
"Of course, this time Shubao will also be the vanguard, kill into the Caged Fire City, rely on his martial arts, kill the rebels in one fell swoop, and capture An Lushan alive, Shi Siming."
For a while, Su Lie explained with a smile, but on the other hand, he also cheered up the generals, eliminating the pre-war tension in the cradle, only by going all out and wholeheartedly can he be invincible in the end Moreover, after hearing this, the generals also came up with another piece of information, that is, Su Lie already had a plan to break the cage of Fire City.
After groaning, Su Lie faced Jia Xu, who was silent on the side, and said, "Wenhe, since all the generals are so eager to know the battle plan, you should inform the public." ” This time, Su Lie did not personally announce the battle plan in public, but lost no time in kicking the opportunity to Jia Xu, because of Jia Xu The character is relatively low-key, although since the division of troops with Su Lie into Youzhou, he has repeatedly made strange plans and defeated the rebels.
However, his influence in the army is almost zero, except for a few core backbones, almost no one is familiar with it, Su Lie and his partner complement each other, and they don't want to be buried in it.
It must be known that now the number of scholars in Daqi has gradually increased, and there are not a few scribes who come to vote, even if they are in a high position now, there are not a few who are valued by Gao Qi.
Important ministers such as Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling continue to be active in the political arena, which shows that if Jia Xu continues to be so low-key, I am afraid that he will be overtaken by latecomers.
It's just that although Su Lie gave Jia Xu the opportunity to perform, it was out of good intentions, but unfortunately he didn't know that Jia Xu didn't yearn to be an official and a celebrity in front of the monarch at all.
Instead, he wants to be pure-hearted and have few desires, as long as he can care for the elderly at home, there will be no problems with food and clothing, and self-preservation has always been the criterion for his service to the monarch.
"Alas, Su Lie, Su Lie, although I know that you are thinking about me and asking me to erect more military prestige, so that the King of Qi can pay more attention to it, but you don't know that I, Jia Xu, are not interested in this."
"You must know that throughout the ages, after the people who have achieved high merit and shocked the lord have settled down in the world, the only outcome they face is that they are deeply feared by the king and finally victimized by him, Jia Xu does not want to become this kind of person."
After hearing Su Lie's words, Jia Xu instantly penetrated Su Lie's thoughts, and could only sigh bitterly and think secretly.
However, at this time, the focus of the generals' eyes was already on Jia Xu, and Jia Xu also knew that it was impossible to keep a low profile, so he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, the Breaking Army was already formulated by Xu and the general. ” "At that time, when Shi Siming was still rushing to Jicheng, he and the general worked together to dig a tunnel in the cage fire city, and hoarded a lot of fire-starting things in it."
"Originally, I planned to deal with Shi Siming's army directly, but Shi Siming was highly vigilant, but he never found a suitable opportunity, until it was delayed until An Lushan's army came to help, and our army retreated to Jicheng to hold on."
"I thought that the An army, which was united by the two armies, would definitely discover the secret passage in the city, but I didn't expect An Lushan to be too impatient, so he directly attacked the city and neglected to conduct a thorough inventory of Caged Fire City."
"Therefore, to this day, Caged Fire City has not been exposed, and after several days of defense, the rebels will definitely not expect that our army will take the opportunity to send troops and brazenly launch an attack."
"Therefore, after consulting with the general, if the city is set on fire by raiding the city from the secret passage at this time, causing a great chaos among the rebels, then the city gate will be opened with a death squad to meet the main army, then the possibility of encircling and annihilating the rebels this time will be very great."
Immediately, Jia Xu clearly explained the battle plan that had been formulated and informed the generals, and when they heard it, all the generals were shocked and felt extremely incredible The generals didn't expect that Su Lie and Jia Xu would be so unprophetic, and they knew the movements of the rebels clearly, and set their plans very clearly and thoughtfully.
Immediately, Su Lie slowly inspected the generals and said slowly: "I don't know if you have any objections."
Hearing this, the generals immediately bowed their hands, and replied in unison: "The last general has no objection and resolutely obeys the general's orders."
With such a good battle plan, there is no need to take the opportunity to attack the city, why not do it for its generals, and oppose it, isn't it incompatible with the credit of sending it to the door It must be known that the national policy implemented by Qi is the military industry system, and only by killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions can there be a chance to be promoted, so under the stimulation of this system, the martial folk customs under the rule of Qi can be said to be extremely popular.
Because, in ancient times, it was almost impossible for the children of ordinary people to receive the influence of books and learn culture, and it was extremely difficult to obtain books.
As we all know, books are in the hands of the great families, who monopolize knowledge and wealth, and how can they supply them to the common people Although Gao Qi founded the Qi State, he has made every effort to implement reforms, and has continued to build learning and cultivate talents under his rule, so that more civilians can learn knowledge.
However, although paper has begun to become popular, without the emergence of movable type printing, its books are still only copied by hand, and its batch size cannot be increased on a large scale. 、 However, after the development of the times, movable type printing was first invented in the Song Dynasty, and then gradually began to be passed on, and finally became popular throughout the country.
It's a pity that although Gao Qi is a traveler, at the beginning of the crossing, Gao Qi did not specialize in this area, how to make movable type printing technology Therefore, now the school under Gao Qi's rule, its teachers are lacking, and books are also extremely poor, and the family is not willing to implement Gao Qi's initiative at all, so they are naturally unwilling to publish books, and want to monopolize knowledge and hold power.
Because, to be an official must be a person who is really talented and learned, but ordinary people have no culture at all, how to know how to govern the country, in the end, these official positions are helpless, and the king can only let the outstanding children cultivated by the family hold it.
Over time, this is equivalent to a food chain, connecting various officials in series, making the strength of the aristocratic group like a snowball, wrapped in bigger and bigger.
Therefore, this is also why Gao Qi learned that Cai Yong settled in Jiuyuan, so he went to visit immediately, no matter what means were exhausted, he had to make him agree to live in Jiangling.
In the final analysis, this is still Cai Yong's prestige among the scholars, and it is conceivable that once Cai Yong calls on the world's corporal in Jiangling, he will definitely come endlessly.
"Since the generals have no objections, let's go down and prepare quickly, tonight our army will completely annihilate the rebels and make a name for itself, success or failure in this move" Immediately, Su Lie stood up solemnly, and his momentum was magnificent, and he regained his due martial arts momentum, and suddenly gave the final order.
It was ten o'clock in the night, Su Lie personally summoned the three armies to gather in the city and the colonel field, and then after some counting, they attacked separately and quietly marched towards the cage fire city.
At this time, it was dark on the official road, quiet, and nothing could be seen, but suddenly there were two cicadas on both sides of the road.

Therefore, at this time, the Qi soldiers did not light the torches on a large scale, but only sporadically had a little firelight, so they were marching slowly.
Just to say, just when the main force of the Qi army was quietly marching, at this time, another soldier wearing night clothes had arrived at the clearing in the dense forest in the direction of the north gate of Cage Fire City.
Looking at it carefully, this general is the death squad led by Qin Qiong, whose purpose is to break into the city from the dark passage, waiting for the opportunity to light torches, ignite the city, and cause riots.
At this time, Qin Qiong led the army to search for a long time in the low night, and only then did he find the tunnel entrance under a pine and cypress tree, I have to say that this secret passage is still extremely hidden Not to mention that it is night, even if it is deliberately searched during the day, it is extremely difficult to find, if Su Lie hadn't informed the specific location in advance, I'm afraid that Qin Qiong might not be able to find it even overnight.
As a general in the army, Qin Qiong knew the truth of "the speed of the soldiers", and immediately ordered his soldiers to enter the tunnel in batches, then lit torches and slowly walked towards the dark dark passage.
After walking for a long time, the Qi soldiers suddenly walked to the wide dark passage, and saw through the faint light of the fire that all the things placed here were ignited, such as black charcoal, dry firewood, fire oil and other things.
Seeing this, Qin Qiong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately gave an order, and said softly: "Listen to the order, quickly lift all kinds of ignited things, and gallop towards the exit. ” As soon as the order was handed down, I saw hundreds of people who dared to fight without hesitation to pick up the things that ignited the fire, and galloped quickly, and the time passed quickly, and the exits in front were everywhere At this time, there was a burst of footsteps on the top of it, Qin Qiong suddenly held his breath and whispered: "Soldiers, stop for the time being, don't make any noise." ” Immediately, Qin Qiong personally walked under the exit, and after the footsteps slowly dissipated, he quietly opened the obstacle pressed on the mouth and looked at it "Tear" Suddenly, Qin Qiong was shocked on the spot, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, because the exit was convenient for the rebels' grain and grass hoarding.
"Okay, okay, God help me" For a moment, Qin Qiong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and first muttered in her heart.
Immediately after, Qin Qiong faced all the soldiers and said solemnly: "Soldiers, above is the location of the rebels' grain and grass hoarding, our task this time is to set fire to the city, cause chaos in the city, and then kill the city gate to welcome the main force led by General Su into the city." ” "The grain and grass area is also the best reason for chaos, the soldiers, rush up with the general, set fire to the city, success or failure in one fell swoop, kill" "Kill" Suddenly, hundreds of death squads were full of momentum and spirit, and they all catered to Qin Qiong's shouts, and then Qin Qiong took the lead in opening the exit and rushed out, and many soldiers then charged out.
All of a sudden, the battle of burning the city officially began, can the Qi army use the power of a battle to break the rebels and become famous in the land of Youyan?
