The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 729 Burning Khitan King City (Part [-])
"After returning to Chang'an, I will bring this matter up to my father, and my father will never object. I will worship the military advisor as my teacher." Li Zhi happily said to Xu Maogong.

How could Xu Maogong not understand that Li Zhi didn't want to learn from him about the formation of troops.Instead, he wanted to use the name of master and apprentice to win him over.But Xu Maogong didn't feel disgusted at all, on the contrary, he was a little happy in his heart.

After all, from this point of view alone, Li Zhi is more scheming than Li Chengqian back then.At the very least, he knows how to win over the veterans in the court, and he doesn't feel that he is superior because he is the prince.

"His Royal Highness, please hurry up and rest for a while, I'm afraid there will be no time to rest in the second half of the night." Xu Maogong said to Li Zhi.

……

Yuchi Gong took the brothers Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing back to the Pioneer Camp.Entering the Pioneer's big tent, he saw Li Tai sitting there drinking tea leisurely.

Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing hurried forward to salute Li Tai and said: "Yuchi Baolin (Yuchi Baoqing) has seen the lord."

"Why are you here? Are you here under the order of the marshal to escort the gunpowder bomb?" Li Tai asked after helping the two of them up.

"My lord is right. The marshal was worried that something might go wrong on the road, so he asked us two brothers to come with father." Yuchi Baolin nodded and said.

"Since you're here, let's help your father tonight." After Li Tai nodded, he said to Yuchi and Baolin brothers.

"My lord, didn't you tell me before that our army would never lend a helping hand until the moment of life and death?" Yuchi Baolin said to Li Tai.

"One moment and another. If it was just an ordinary war, we would naturally not lend a helping hand. But now that we want to use this gunpowder, the king has to worry a little bit."

"If you don't use it properly, it may cause casualties to your own people. Therefore, you need to strictly control this matter, and there must be no mistakes." Li Tai said to Yuchi Baolin.

"Let me tell you, I, Yu Chigong, are too useless. It's just these fireworks, just to make a noise. Could it be that there is something more powerful? In my opinion, you just want to take the opportunity to make a fortune." Yuchi Gong said to Li Tai disdainfully.

"Father, you are wrong. What we transported are not just fireworks, but gunpowder bombs that our lord has painstakingly developed. Its power is beyond your imagination." Yuchi Baolin said to Yuchi Gong .

The matter has come to this point, even if Yuchi Baolin doesn't say anything, Yuchi Gong will know in the evening.So naturally there is no need to hide it.

"Uncle Yuchi, I will show you the power of these fireworks tonight. Then you will know what real killing is." Li Tai said to Yuchi Gong with a smile.

……

Time passed by every minute and every second, the night covered the entire grassland, and the sky was dotted with stars.The entire night sky is so peaceful and pleasant.

After Yuchi Baolin looked at the time, he said to Yuchi Gong: "Father, it's almost time to start."

After Yu Chigong nodded, he picked up a bamboo tube and gently pulled the rope in his hand towards the sky.A gorgeous flame exploded in the sky.A huge Lingzi remained in the sky for a long time.

This is a signal flare newly developed by Li Tai. After all, fireworks can be bought with money these days.If you don't improve the signal flare, it is easy to be confused by others with false signals.

Following Yu Chigong's signal flare, countless lanterns and torches suddenly lit up around the Khitan King City.The entire periphery of Khitan City was illuminated like daylight.

At the same time, the cans of kerosene were thrown directly into the Khitan King City by the catapult.They didn't have any real lethality, some smashed on the city wall, and some flew into the city.In the end, the earthen pot was broken and kerosene was poured everywhere.

At this time, Li Tai was standing outside the camp of the vanguard army, watching from a distance what happened in the city of the Huns.At the same time, he said: "It's time to start. Inform Sun Qiang to send out the Condor Army."

Not long after, thousands of golden eagles flew in the sky. They flew high in the sky, and it was impossible to detect their existence with the naked eye in the dark night.

They threw the fire oil tanks one by one directly into the Khitan King City.As a result, almost the entire Khitan King City was covered by fire oil.

At the same time Khitan King Dahe Kuge also received the news.Immediately lead people to the city wall and prepare to defend the city, thinking that the Tang army is preparing to attack the city by night.

But Khitan king Dahe Kuge didn't find out until he climbed the city wall.The opponent did not cross the moat at all.Just use a trebuchet to keep throwing fire oil into the Khitan King City.

The fire oil tank fired for nearly a stick of incense.Finally, all the fire oil was thrown out.Immediately, a huge command word bloomed again in the sky.

All the soldiers immediately put the prepared gunpowder bombs into the trebuchet.After lighting the fuse with a torch, it was thrown towards the Khitan King City.

Some of these gunpowder bombs exploded directly in the sky, and brilliant sparks bloomed in the sky.For a while, it was really dazzling and dazzling.

Of course, most of the gunpowder bombs were thrown directly into the city before they exploded.The sparks from the explosion of the gunpowder bomb ignited the fire oil in the city.In an instant, the entire royal city was engulfed in flames.

The soldiers on the city wall also did not escape the devouring fire.They desperately extinguished the flames on their bodies, but no matter how much they slapped, it was of no avail.

In the end, some Khitan soldiers jumped directly from the city wall, and some fell directly below the city wall and died.Some were still breathing, desperately crawling towards the moat.I hope that I can use the water in the moat to extinguish the fire on my body.

But before they reached the moat, they closed their eyes unwillingly.But the fire on their bodies has not been extinguished, and is still slowly burning their bodies.

Khitan King Dahe Kuge was not calm now, and immediately ordered the soldiers to open the city gate and break out of the king's city.After all, the entire royal city is now on fire.The ending of staying in the city can only be burned to ashes.

But how could Tang Jun let them rush out of Khitan King City smoothly.He had already loaded his bow and arrows and waited outside the Khitan King City, at the moment when the city gate was opened.Tens of thousands of rockets flew towards them.

At the same time, gunpowder bombs with flaming lights exploded among the soldiers rushing out of the city gate.Every time the explosion blows up the surrounding soldiers, they fly into the air and then fall heavily.

The four city gates were completely blocked by 20 Tang troops, and it was impossible for the flustered Khitan soldiers to break out.This made them completely desperate, and some even took up weapons and cut their own throats.

After all, self-destruction is much easier than being burned to death by fire.This is the method chosen by the desperate, because no matter how hard they try, there is no hope of life.

Khitan King Dahe Kuge was also completely desperate. He knew that he was finished, and his nation was also finished.He regretted that he did not agree to Li Zhi's conditions, and he regretted that he was overestimated.

But now no matter how much he regrets, he can no longer change this naked fact.So the last Khitan king, Dahe Kuge, took his own life with the sword in his hand.

Khitan King Dahe Kuge ended his life by himself.However, this could not stop Tang Jun's attack.Gunpowder bombs continued to explode.

Until the sun slowly rose, no one broke out from the four gates of the Khitan King City.The entire Khitan King City became extremely quiet.

The original scream of pain has disappeared.All that's left is the crackling sound of burning fire.and the stench of charred corpses.

At this time, Mr. Yuchi was already stupid, and he would never have imagined that it would end like this.He knew that kerosene and gunpowder bombs could ignite the Khitan King City, but he never thought that the entire Khitan King City would be burned together.

Logically speaking, after such a long time, Yu Chigong should have gotten used to it.But Yu Chigong was still very shocked at this time, after all, this has exceeded his understanding of war.

At this moment, Xu Maogong came over, patted Yu Chigong on the shoulder lightly and said: "This is the horror of His Highness King Yan, only he would think of such an inhumane method of warfare."

"Yes, this kid is simply too cruel." Yu Chigong said subconsciously.But in an instant, I felt that I had slipped my tongue.But the words have already been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back.

"You don't need to look at me like this, I already met His Highness King Yan when you went to Youzhou." Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

"It seems that what Li Tai said is correct, he can't hide it from you, you old man." Yu Chigong said to Xu Maogong with a sigh.

"Let you charge into the battle, it is definitely an enemy of ten thousand people. But if you make a plan, then you can put a duck on the shelf. But every time I make things difficult for you, you can deal with it with ease. Isn't that enough for me Do you doubt you?" Xu Maogong asked with a smile.

"It seems that I am really old and have dominated the battlefield all my life. But I never thought that battles can be fought like this. There are nearly a million Khitan soldiers and civilians, and now there are no bones left. But our army has not suffered any casualties. "

"I'm afraid that since ancient times, no one has been able to fight such a beautiful battle." Yu Chigong said to Xu Maogong with a sigh while looking at the Xiongnu King City.

"Forget it, don't express your emotions here. His Royal Highness is still waiting for us to return to your command. No matter how you say it, you, Yu Chigong, have shown your face this time." Xu Maogong said to Yu Chigong with a smile.

So Yu Chigong ordered that the whole army should not relax in the slightest.In order to avoid any unexpected changes in the Khitan King City.

After arranging everything, Yu Chigong and Xu Maogong.Then he went to Li Zhi's Chinese army tent.At this time, Li Zhi had already been waiting outside the tent of the Chinese army.
