The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 347 Blazing Flame
This fire burned the houses in Haikang County, but it seemed that it also ignited the blood in the hearts of the people.

The resentment and anger towards the Yuan thief, which had been gradually forgotten in the hearts of the people because of their ordinary life, surged into their hearts again.

Although there are still people who leave the city in panic, but that is only a very small number.

More and more people took to the streets with kitchen knives, hoes, poles, etc., and many even flocked to the gate of the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jue burst into tears.

He seems to have returned to the time when the Chongqing government was besieged, where the common people did the same, united as one and tenaciously resisted the Yuan army.

Su Liuyi was also stunned.

He suddenly understood why the emperor valued the common people so much.

It turns out that this is the power of the people.

Perhaps many nobles also have such blood, but compared to the general public, the power of the nobles is undoubtedly very weak at this moment.

If all the people in the world are like this, why worry that the country cannot be restored?
Zhang Jue asked Su Liuyi to arrange soldiers, ran to the front of the people, and persuaded them to go back.

Fighting is what soldiers do.Before Haikang County was completely destroyed, he never wanted to see these people die under the butcher knife of the Yuan army.

At this moment, he only thought in his heart that even if he died, he would still defend this Haikang County.

Outside the city, in the night sky.

Ren Wei led the Flying Army at this time and was already approaching the sky above the Yuan army barracks.

But at this time, below them, on the official road, you can see the torches of the Yuan army stretching, and a large army is heading towards Haikang County.

Unsurprisingly, the Yuan army still has a backup.

Ren Wei didn't know whether Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng had left the barracks. After hesitating, he decided to restrain the Yuan army first.

He didn't know what the situation in the county was now, whether the two deputy commanders, Su Liuyi and Zhang Jue, had stabilized the situation.If the city was still in chaos as it was when he left the city, then the tens of thousands of troops would most likely bring disaster to Haikang County.

In such a situation, it is obviously more important to buy time for Zhang Jue and Su Liuyi.

In this way, Ren Wei led the Flying Army to fly over their heads amidst the fear of countless yuan soldiers.

The thunderbolts fell down.

In such a dark night, Hong Tianlei is obviously more difficult to guard against.No one could see where Hong Tianlei was going to land.

Many flames exploded on the official road.

The original torches of the Yuan army suddenly seemed a little flustered.

As for Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, they seemed to be right in front of this army.Both of them were wearing armor, their faces full of awe.

However, Li Heng's obese body was covered with armor, which made him feel a little happy no matter how he looked at it.

The war horse under his seat was panting heavily, and it was considered a bloody misfortune.

Seeing the Song Army Feitian Army throwing thunder into their army, both of them looked ugly, but they could only shout: "Keep marching! Keep marching!"

The two tried their best to suppress the panic in the army.

Orders and generals relayed their orders verbally.

This really stabilized the army's morale and overcame the initial panic.However, the soldiers of the Yuan army were still unavoidable to be bombed by the Thunderbolt.

Hot air balloons can be regarded as bugs in this era.

If the Song Dynasty could have tens of thousands of hot air balloons, not to mention defeating the Yuan Dynasty and regaining the country, it would be no problem to rule the world.

It's a pity that with the technology of this era, the speed of making hot air balloons is really too slow.This makes it impossible for the Flying Army to become a big climate in a short period of time.

Not long after, many corpses of Yuan soldiers had fallen on the official road.

Thousands of Thunderbolts carried by the Flying Army were all thrown down in a short period of time, the scene can be described as shocking.

When Ren Wei led the Flying Army back to Haikang, Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng probably lost as many as [-] soldiers.

But the two still led the army to continue to Haikang.

Because even if the army suffered heavy losses, they still had a great advantage compared to the Song army in the city.

As long as Haikang County can be broken, then these soldiers who died in battle can be said to have died well.And they can also have an explanation to Kublai Khan.

In this way, in just over ten minutes, the iron cavalry of the Yuan army had already killed outside Haikang County.The pawns are only a few miles away from Haikang County.

Before Ren Wei returned to Haikang County and had time to lead the Flying Army to the sky, the Yuan army outside the city had already launched an attack on Haikang County.

More than [-] iron cavalry rushed outside the city wall like a tide.

However, the defense of the Song army on the top of the city has not yet fully spread out.All the firepower could not be poured down.

The cannon-throwing chariot is also limited in its attack on the Yuan army's iron cavalry, which is charging extremely fast.

Soldiers of the Song Army poured kerosene down the city continuously, causing the city to be ablaze again.

But compared to the Yuan army's offensive, these fires obviously cannot completely stop the Yuan army.

Some soldiers jumped into the moat where many corpses were floating, and built a pontoon bridge.

With the sound of thump, thud, the iron cavalry of the Yuan army rushed up the suspension bridge one after another, approaching the city gate that had not been fully sealed.

The rockets in the Yuan army shot up into the sky and shot at the Song army on the top of the city.

Some rockets detonated the Thunderbolt on the city wall, causing occasional explosions above the city.

The [-] Leizhou Army has fought so far, and there are only nearly [-] left.The artillery throwing vehicles of the Yuan army also caused a lot of damage to the Song army on the coast.

The Song army stationed inside the city gate has a total of [-], and the top of the city is only [-], so it is naturally a little empty.

If it weren't for the help of thousands of militiamen, the situation of the Song Army would have been even more critical.

Zhang Jue had already run to the top of the city at this time, ordering the soldiers to pour down kerosene, thunder and shoot arrows.

However, they couldn't see clearly what was going on under the city wall.

The flames failed to illuminate the entire city below. Some floating bridges of the Yuan army were blown to pieces, but some were successfully built on the moat.

More and more Yuan troops rushed to the gate of the city.

The fighting continued like this for more than ten minutes.

Ren Wei led the Flying Army to leave Haikang County and headed out of the city.

But this time, they returned without success.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng had learned their lesson. When the army marched, they actually ordered the soldiers to extinguish all the torches.

With the faint moonlight, they were still able to march.However, the Flying Army at high altitude could no longer capture where they were.

After Ren Wei returned to Haikang County, he rained thunder on the vanguard cavalry of the Yuan army in the sky outside the city.But immediately after, the infantry of the Yuan army also arrived.

Tens of thousands of people attacked the city at the same time. After Zhao Dongting came to power, it was far from an unprecedented battle, but there is absolutely no doubt about the magnitude of the scene.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of people gathered.

Amidst the continuous sound of cannons, more and more Yuan troops rushed into the city after all.

The gate of the city had already been blown down, and this was already the fifth wave of offensive launched by the Yuan army into the city.

Haikang County is facing unprecedented pressure.

Su Liuyi personally led the army under the city to block the Yuan army with Shenlong guns and thunderbolts, but the Yuan army's thunderbolt also caused them heavy damage.

The new cannon throwing cart is very small, just like the previous knife cart.Although many artillery vehicles were burned down in the Huoji Yuan army before, it is clear that there are still reserves in the army.

This made Shenlong Gun no longer able to achieve all disadvantages.

When the infantry of the Yuan army also rushed into the corridor of the city gate, it put even more pressure on the thousands of Song troops led by Su Liuyi.

However, Su Liuyi Shuaiqi never retreated.

Behind his thousands of soldiers, there are countless people waiting and watching.

Many of them did not leave because of Zhang Jue's persuasion, and they were all bloody people.Although his hands were sweating, he never left.

The fire in the city has been extinguished.

Wang Wenfu also ran not far from the city gate with more than a thousand students from the Imperial College.

And behind them, more people followed.

The people of the Song Dynasty in Haikang County were completely on fire that night.

The fighting at the city gate was unprecedentedly brutal, with corpses piled up in the corridors inside the city gate.The Yuan army has never been able to completely break through the tunnel, and this place has become their meat grinding ground.

Wang Wenfu stood in front of the students of the Guozijian, constantly encouraging them.

Scholar is really stubborn sometimes.

And later, when he was here, he also saw many familiar faces rushing over.

I don't know when, the mighty spirit of living and dying with Haikang County has spread throughout the entire Haikang County.

Many high-ranking civil servants of the Song Dynasty also led their family members to the city gate.

Mu Kangxun, Xiyi, Wen Qi, Chen Jianghan, Gao Manshan, Sun Shichuan and other officials, big and small, all had agitated expressions.

Even Liu Hongyi, who had a broken arm, arrived with his servants.

There are even female relatives following out.

A raging flame burned fiercely in the hearts of the subjects of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This flame seems to be able to burn the world.
