The number of casualties was quickly counted. 67 firearms soldiers died and 42 were injured. 【】

The retreating sergeants did not have the courage to fight to the death that they had before the attack. Compared with being hacked to death with a knife or shot to death with a gun, the horror of being burned to death was more terrifying.Looking at the charred corpses, the sergeants were a little depressed, and the painful cries of the wounded soldiers made them feel a little more vividly.

After getting the statistics of the number of casualties, Qi Zhuang just nodded, and asked the firecracker brigade to monitor the movement of the Raksha people in the city, while the cavalry and spear brigade demolished all the houses outside the Gulihe city, and took all the wood and all kinds of things. Collect everything that burns.

When the sergeants heard this order, Monk Zhang Er was a little puzzled, but it was better to collect wood and hay than to be burned to death by the Raksha people.Most of the officers already knew the commander's intentions, so they carried out the order resolutely and thoroughly.

There are several settlements outside the city of Gulihe, and the residents have long since fled into the city. Most of their houses are made of wooden structures, and it is not troublesome to dismantle them.The sergeants who participated in the demolition didn't mean to cherish the property of the residents. The places they passed were in a mess, and even the diapers of the newborn children were collected. Of course, they would not let go of valuable things that could be stolen .

"Master, what are the Qing people doing?"

At the top of the city, A Le'er saw that the Qing team was demolishing the houses of the residents. She couldn't help but feel incredible. These Qing people didn't come to attack the city, and they didn't retreat, but they demolished the houses for what.

Because Tokolowski couldn't bear the heat, he had already put down his decency and took off his clothes. Many musketeers even took off their trousers and stood at the top of the city wearing only shorts.The naked musketeers at the top of the city and the bald Qing soldiers on the opposite side complement each other, which is quite unique.

"Perhaps, the Qing people want to camp."

Tokolowski didn't know what the Qing team was going to do. He intuitively thought that the Qing people were preparing to set up camp, so he made a perfunctory sentence, and then patrolled the city with Vasilyski and other officers, and all the dead and wounded musketeers were carried down.The wounded should be treated by doctors, and the dead should be carried outside the city for burial after the Qing troops retreat.The current season cannot allow corpses to be buried in the city, otherwise the plague will definitely happen.

When Tokolowski and others went to the dead, the two priests were devoutly doing church services to the dead, closing their eyes one by one, praying that they could go to heaven.

Lord, may you lift these brave soldiers to heaven.After saluting the dead musketeers, Tokolowski and the officers went to see the wounded.The Qing people are busy camping, and they will not attack again for a while.At the city gate, Chekhov is leading the Ewenki people to hurry up and repair it. In order to completely cut off the intention of the Qing people to enter through the city gate, Chekov even mobilized the residents to collect all the stones in the city and move them over to seal the city gate.

"wind direction!"

"Southeast wind!"

"Stack all wood and hay to the southeast."

Demolition is different from construction. Construction takes a long time, but demolition is very fast. Half an hour later, hundreds of logs, piles of hay, and countless flammable items were piled to the southeast of Gulihe City. It was only 100 meters away from the city wall. At this distance, Russian musketeers could not shoot at people. They could only watch as groups of Qing people dangled in front of their eyes.

Regarding the actions of the Qing people, the musketeers whispered, guessing what the other party wanted to do.

"Master City Guard, the Qing people piled up a lot of wood there!"

Tokolowski, who was looking around the city, got the news that the Qing people were piling up logs in the southeast, and he looked at the head of the city with a look of doubt. Countless lumber hay piled up.

The logs and hay piled up by the Qing people are like a small hill, the highest point of which has far exceeded the city wall of the Guli River, and it is very long, and it is so terrifying.

"What do they want to do?"

Tokolowski cursed: "Are these robbers trying to fill up the city with these logs?"

"Maybe, these Qing people are really stupid."

Vasilyski muttered, but he didn't believe that the Qing people would want to use wood to build a wooden frame that could cover Gulihe City. It would be impossible to complete it in a few months.Touching the sweat from the black hair on his chest, Vasilyski scolded: "Damn the weather, my God, it's too hot, it would be great if the wind was stronger!" Looking at himself like a ghost, Vasilyski couldn't help being a little puzzled: "My lord?"

"Oh, Emperor, the Qing people want the smoke to defeat us!"

........................

"Master Qianhu, can we light the fire now!"

Feeling that the pile of wood was almost enough to choke and roast those Rakshasa people to death, Zuo Mingnan left a few captains to continue to take charge, and asked Qi Zhuang alone if he could light the fire.

Qi Zhuang glanced at the pile of wood that looked like a small hill, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned around his horse, and shouted to his ten soldiers: "Follow me!"

"Master Qianhu, what are you going to do?"

Zuo Mingnan was startled when he saw Qi Zhuang's horse was about to charge towards Gulihe City. He pulled Qi Zhuang's horse forward and said, "Lord Qianhu, after the fire starts, the Raksha people will not be able to survive. Why do you want to risk your life?" !"

"Hey, Brother Zuo misunderstood!"

Seeing Zuo Mingnan's worried expression, Qi Zhuang laughed and said, "Just now the Raksha people broke the morale of our army, and now I, the captain of the regiment, will kill their morale. Don't worry, I'll wait soon." The horse gallops, how can the Raksha people's guns fight?"

"After I drive the horse over, you light the fire!" Qi Zhuang waved his hand viciously: "Roast them to death!"

"Boys, come with me!"

Without waiting for Zuo Mingnan to respond, Qi Zhuang raised his whip, and the horse roared and rushed towards the Guli River. The ten soldiers were all excellent equestrians.Eleven cavalry headed straight for Gulihe City. As a result, the Russian army at the top of the city and the Guan Ning army at the bottom of the city were stunned again.

"Oh, Emperor, are these Qing people looking for death!"

Tokolowski, who was worried that the opponent didn't know when to light the fire, saw a group of cavalry rushing towards the city, and hurriedly asked the musketeers to prepare to blast these death-seeking Qing people into pieces.But when the musketeers took aim and waited for the Qing cavalry to enter the range and were about to open fire, the Qing people seemed to have noticed their movements, and when they were ten meters away, they suddenly turned and ran to the other side, roaring and shouting along the walls of the Guli River. I don't know what it's called.After the Qing team heard the shouts of the eleven riders, they all became excited and shouted wildly there.

"Wan Sheng, Guan Ningjun!"

All the sergeants saw the heroic performance of the captain, and when they heard the roar of the captain, the soldiers also roared in unison.

"Roast the Rakshasa people into suckling pigs!"

After Qi Zhuang passed dangerously under the eyes of the Raksha people, he reined in his horse and turned around, sneering at the Raksha people on the city wall.

Over there, Zuo Mingnan also gave the order to light the fire. Following the orders of the officers, dozens of sergeants holding torches lined up to light the dry grass at the bottom. Under the "thunderbolt bala", the fire quickly shot up into the sky, and the soldiers who had found water from the residential houses outside the Guli River city were on standby, and shouted excitedly to pour water on the wood, so the sky-high fire suddenly descended. After going down, there was thick smoke everywhere.

At this time, the southeast wind was blowing, although the wind was not strong, but it was a breeze to blow the thick smoke to Gulihe City, which was close to the ruler.

In the eyes of thousands of people, a black smoke fell like a devil in the sky of Gulihe City. The Russian musketeer standing on the top of the city was the first to be unable to bear it, and ran down the city with tears in his eyes.

The thick smoke swept across the entire Gulihe City like a plague. The weather was already hot, but the snow made it worse. extremely hot.

God, help us!
