Chapter 271 Fire Attack

When he came out of the medical office, it was already getting dark. After Liu Jing hurriedly had dinner, he returned to the trench in the south of the city. Cai Sheng and Han Guang were sitting in a private school beside them, chatting casually. .

Liu Jing walked into the school, waved his hands casually, indicating that the two should not be too polite, and asked, "Hongchao, Gongfu, what's the current situation underground?"

Cai Sheng glanced at Han Guang, and replied: "Since the northern army outside the city stopped attacking the city, all the tunnels have stopped. It seems that the northern army plans to wait until late at night when people are quiet, and then break out of the ground in one fell swoop. You caught us off guard." At the end, Cai Sheng couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile on his face.

Liu Jing also couldn't help but laughed, and said, "I'm afraid the Northern Army is doomed to be disappointed. From the moment they emerge from the ground, they will never have a chance to turn back."

"Liu Jun's words are very true." Cai Sheng said again: "The northern army has always kept the idea of ​​repairing the dark plank roads and saving the warehouse. Since the siege, the offensive seems to be surging on the surface, but in fact it has restrained a lot, leaving me empty-handed. Strength, but there is nowhere to display it, I hope to let go and fight tonight."

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head.

Han Guang said: "Liu Jun, the soldiers are destined to stay late tonight, and in addition to facing a fierce battle, this is an extra meal to reward the soldiers."

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Naturally. I have asked people to prepare cattle and sheep for the soldiers."

Before nightfall, the pancakes and meat soup were ready, and the soldiers ate in turn.

In Liu Jingjun, Hubing has completely replaced embarrassment and has become the main dry food for soldiers.

When it comes to Hubing, one person has to be mentioned——Tao Guan.He may be the first person in history to sell Hubing in Changsha and even Jingnan area.

This can be regarded as bringing a different food culture to Jingnan, which has rice soup and fish. In this way, it is quite historically significant.

Compared with the traditional dry food of the Han army, Hubing is not only delicious, but also easy to fill the stomach. It is also more convenient to store and carry. The most important thing is that it is easy to make and has countless advantages.Therefore, it is perfectly normal for Hu Bing to replace embarrassment and become dry food in the army.

The soldiers gathered around Wushi as a unit, eating hummus and drinking meat soup, and talking in low voices.Qu Zhang and the garrison generals had warned them a long time ago, not to make any noise at will, so as not to be noticed by the enemy.

The soldiers thought that Shangguan was superfluous, but they only dared to complain a few words in their hearts.

After the soldiers had their meals, the night was getting darker, the sky was full of stars tonight, dazzling, tomorrow will be a good day.

Under the command of Qu Zhang and the generals, the soldiers moved the firewood from each school into the trench, and poured buckets of fat into the trench.

Seeing the soldiers busy in an orderly manner, Han Guang said to Liu Jing: "Liu Jun, the soldiers are full now, and then leave it to me and Brother Cai. Liu Jun can go back to the dormitory to rest temporarily, and there is no need to stay here."

Cai Sheng nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Han is right. Besides, it's very dark in the middle of the night, and the distance you can see is only a few feet away. Once the soldiers are negligent, the enemy will take advantage of the loopholes. I'm afraid it will disturb Liu. Jun."

This was exactly what Han Guang was worried about, but he didn't say it directly.

Liu Jing couldn't help smiling, and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am a person with no strength to restrain a chicken?"

Han Guang said in a deep voice: "There is an old saying: 'A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall.' Mr. Liu is the leader of the army. He should unite the soldiers in the rear. He really shouldn't put himself in a dangerous place."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "It's not like I'm personally risking arrows and rocks, stepping up to the front, how can I be in danger? Besides, the soldiers are fighting in the front, but I'm hiding behind, how can I feel at ease? Well, I've made up my mind, you don't have to Advise again."

Seeing Liu Jing's resolute attitude, Cai Sheng and Han Guang looked at each other, and said nothing more if they were interested.

Time passed, and it was midnight in the blink of an eye. In the dead silence of the West City, there was a loud noise from underground. Soon, the Jingzhou soldiers who marched from all directions dug into the trench.

Regarding this, the Jingzhou soldiers were all puzzled. They couldn't figure out why there was a deep moat in Ling County, but when they saw that the moat was full of firewood and the smell of grease, their expressions changed drastically. , I don't know that their intentions have been exposed.

Due to the bright lights on the city wall, the soldiers of Jingzhou who rushed out of the tunnel below had nowhere to hide, and the soldiers of Liu Jing who were hiding in the night shot the arrows in their hands without hesitation.

In the pitch-black night, countless arrows were shot out suddenly, and Jingzhou soldiers were turned into hedgehogs by bows and crossbows like targets.

The four tunnels are like four roads of no return. Jingzhou soldiers kept rushing out of the tunnels and fell down with arrows.However, although Jingzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties, more and more people rushed out, and the trenches were soon filled with Jingzhou soldiers. They used wooden poles as walls and began to try to jump out of the trenches.

However, at this moment, a flaming arrow shot into the ditch, instantly igniting the fuelwood soaked in grease.

"Hey...hehe...hehe..."

The first rocket was like a signal flare, and then the rockets attacked densely, and the trench turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.

"what……"

The tunnel could only advance, not retreat. The soldiers of Jingzhou in the trench huddled together, were burned by the fire, and howled miserably.

Liu Jing was far away from the trench, but such screams still made him feel very uncomfortable. Burning himself in flames is definitely one of the cruelest ways to die in this world.

Although Liu Jing couldn't bear it, he didn't regret his decision. Compared with the enemy, he cared more about the lives of his soldiers, and the fire attack would undoubtedly greatly reduce his own casualties.

"what……"

Unwilling to be burned alive, the soldiers of Jingzhou soldiers leaped into the trenches with the fire on their bodies, and rolled wildly on the ground, trying to catch the fire on their bodies.

It's a pity that the chance of success in doing so is not high, and most of them are completely swallowed by the flames. Even if they are lucky enough to save half of their lives, they will be beheaded by the soldiers of Liu Jing who are waiting outside the trench.

Hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers were burned alive in despair and misery.The raging fire in the trench also made the Jingzhou soldiers in the tunnel stop.

If individuals had a choice, they would definitely choose to retreat immediately. Unfortunately, the generals at the rear asked them to stand by in the tunnel and wait for the fire in the trench to be extinguished.All the soldiers in Jingzhou complained when they heard this.

The flames in the trench retreated slightly, and none of the Jingzhou soldiers survived. Cai Sheng and Han Guang sent soldiers to throw torches into the four tunnels, and at the same time asked the soldiers to hold leather sticks and leather platoons to blow the flames and thick smoke into the trenches. Authentic.

But in a short while, the tunnel turned into a cave of fire, the Jingzhou soldiers who stayed in the tunnel retreated desperately, but they could not move an inch, they were either burnt to death, or smoked to death, and the dead were covered in pillows.
