Chapter 74 Zhu Xi's Highlight Moment◇
:: Upon hearing the news that the South Gate had been captured, Mu Qingni immediately led the dozens of soldiers who had followed her to defend the city wall and rushed towards the South Gate...
Captain Han and Captain Lu from the other gates, along with Zhu Xi and others, immediately rushed to the rescue with whatever troops they could as soon as they heard the news...
Everyone knows that if even one gate of Fuzhou City is conquered, it will all be over!
"Everyone, don't panic! Follow me, let's drive the Tartars back!"
Mu Qingni rushed to the front with a long knife in hand. With a few slashes, she killed four or five of the Tartars who had just attacked the South Gate!
Seeing how brave she was, all the soldiers also fought bravely to kill the enemy!
In an instant, the few meters of corridor next to the south gate of Fuzhou City became a Shura field and a hell on earth.
Both sides fought fiercely for these few meters of passage, neither giving an inch... Gradually, more and more bodies piled up at the city gate, and the pile grew higher and higher. Among them were both Tatars and soldiers from Dayan...
After fighting for half an hour, the bodies of the dead and wounded soldiers on both sides piled up to more than one meter high, blocking the entire aisle. It became a human wall that kept countless Tartars out!
Mu Qingni was like a killing god at this moment, standing on the pile of corpses with Han Baihu and others. They killed every Tartar who came up...
Zhu Xi was originally on top of it, but when Mu Qingni found him, she kicked him down!
At this time, there were only a few Great Yan soldiers left guarding the South Gate, with only Mu Qingni and twenty others struggling to hold on...
After Zhu Xi was kicked off the pile of corpses by Mu Qingni, he was so anxious that he kept turning around. No matter how good Mu Qingni and the others were at fighting, they would eventually run out of strength when facing so many Tartars!
He felt that this would not work and he had to find a way! In his haste, he suddenly remembered the small jars of alcohol that Zhou Yu had placed on the shelf.
He remembered that when he was using alcohol to cool Dazhuang down, Ayu had warned him that alcohol was highly flammable and that he should not only dilute it with water but also keep it away from open flames. Otherwise, if sparks came into contact with it, it could easily cause burns or a fire!
That’s right!! You can use alcohol to start a fire!
Zhu Xi's eyes lit up, and his first reaction was to find Zhou Yu, so he ran towards the east gate of Fuzhou City... Zhou Yu was still there helping to treat the wounded!
As a result, he had just run two steps when he saw Zhou Yu, Zhou Luo, and Zhou Gong running towards him... Before they even got close, they shouted at him angrily:
"Zhu Xi! Didn't I tell you not to get too far away from me?! What the hell did you do?!"
…
Zhou Yu was almost terrified. She and Zhou Luo had just carried a patient to a nearby hospital room to treat the wounded, and when they returned, Zhu Xi was gone. Upon asking, she learned that the South Gate had been breached, and Zhu Xi had led his men to rescue them.
Zhou Yu was very scared, fearing that something might happen to Zhu Xi and she would not be able to save him in time, so she hurriedly pulled Zhou Luo and Zhou Gong, who were also afraid that they would run away, over!
She now wished she could tie these people up with a belt so that she could rescue them all into the space in case of a life-or-death situation!
"Ayu! Now is not the time to talk about this..." Zhu Xi knew that Zhou Yu was scolding him because he was worried that if the Tartars entered the city, she would not be able to save her in time. He also understood what Zhou Yu meant by emphasizing that he should follow her closely these days.
But now was a matter of urgency, not the time to discuss this. He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Yu, and asked anxiously, "Ayu! How much alcohol do we have left in Fuzhou City? Where is it? Hurry! I need it urgently!"
"I know where it is! I'll take you there!"
Seeing Zhu Xi's anxious look, Zhou Yu knew that he was asking about alcohol at this time because he must have an urgent need for it. He did not dare to delay and pulled Zhu Xi towards the house where his master stored alcohol in the military camp!
While running, he did not forget to call Zhou Luo and the other two to follow!
After hearing this, Zhou Luo and Zhou Gong hurriedly followed.
Halfway through the journey, Zhou Luo realized that since Zhu Xi needed a large amount of alcohol, he would definitely need to transport it. Seeing that there were many carts and push carts scattered on the road, he cleverly took Zhou Gong forward and pushed two of them before chasing Zhu Xi and the other two ahead...
The house where the alcohol was stored was not too far from the south gate of Fuzhou City. They arrived there in a short while. In addition, since there were many wounded in the entire Fuzhou City, the house where the alcohol was stored was not locked for the convenience of transportation. This made it convenient for them. In addition, the two carts Zhou Luo picked up also played a big role.
Therefore, several people quickly pushed back two carts full of alcohol...
When he pushed the cart to the pile of corpses, Zhu Xi saw that Mu Qingni and Han Baihu were covered with scars and blood from head to toe, but they were still alive. He breathed a sigh of relief!
Then he threw the alcohol jar behind the pile of corpses and shouted to Mu Qingni and the others:
"Sister Qingni! Come down quickly!"
When Zhou Luo and Zhou Gong saw this, they also started throwing it up...
Mu Qingni first heard Zhu Xi's cries, then smelled a hint of alcohol amidst the pungent smell of blood. She immediately thought Zhu Xi might be trying to start a fire, so she hurriedly called out to Captain Han and the others, wielded her sword to repel the Tartars at hand, and then rolled down to the bottom of the pile of corpses...
They had to roll. They had been standing on the pile of corpses for too long, their feet were already numb and they had no strength left...
By this time, Zhu Xi and his companions had already thrown away all the alcohol jars in the cart. Seeing that Mu Qingni and the others had come down and were now fending off a few Tartars who had just crossed the pile of corpses, Zhu Xi didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly took out a flint from his pocket to start a fire...
But... he didn't seem to bring it!!
He hurriedly asked for help from Zhou Luo and the other two beside him, but they also reached into their arms and shook their heads at him...
Zhu Xi... Damn!!!
This is like taking office and losing the seal, or forgetting to bring toilet paper! It’s really frustrating! ! !
Just when I didn't know what to do, I heard Zhou Yu shouting behind me,
“Get out of the way!”
Then, he saw an unknown object with a faint flame passing over his head and heading behind the pile of corpses... Then... with a bang, a blue flame rose into the air from behind the pile of corpses...
Because it was cold, the Tartars were wearing fur clothes, which were particularly flammable. Soon, the clothes of the Tartars behind the pile of corpses, which were stained with alcohol, began to burn. Then, the screams of the Tartars could be heard...
In panic, those Tartars whose bodies were on fire instinctively ran back... or rolled on the ground...
Seeing this, the other Tartars also hurriedly retreated out of the city to avoid getting into trouble! !
But many people still couldn't escape the bad fate and their clothes were also set on fire...
In the end, even the huge pile of corpses was not spared and all of them burst into flames...
………
At this time, Zhou Jin
Ten days ago, Zhou Jin had successfully disguised himself as the Oirat army with 300 soldiers and launched a surprise attack on the Tatar base camp.
The reason they were able to complete the sneak attack so quickly and successfully was thanks to Zhou Yu's love potion, which allowed them to capture a small group of Tatar soldiers about ten miles away from the Tatar base camp without losing a single soldier. Not only did they get their clothes and horses, they also managed to force the location of their base camp out of a few survivors who were deliberately left alive. They then successfully launched a sneak attack on the Tatar base camp and made the Tatars believe that all this was done by the Oirat people.
Afterwards, the group rushed to the territory of Wala...
When they once again pretended to be Tartars and attacked the Oirat base camp, sixteen days had passed since they left Fuzhou City.
In four days, the twenty days he and Mu Qingni agreed upon would be up...
"Hurry up and reply to the state!"
Zhou Jin did not dare to delay any longer, nor did he take the mountain road anymore. Instead, he took the remaining 200-odd soldiers and the bodies of dozens of dead and wounded soldiers, and rode the captured horses along the main road to rush back!
However, when passing by several other garrisons, they took a detour for fear of being discovered by the Tartars.
More than 200 people rushed day and night, and finally arrived more than ten miles outside Fuzhou City in the early morning of the 20th day after their departure!
From afar, the city of Fuzhou was already ablaze, and the cries of killing could be faintly heard from ten miles away...
Everyone thought that Fuzhou City might have been broken!
"Boss! Let's go back!" A young soldier whose whole family was in Fuzhou City suddenly said anxiously. He wished he could grow wings so that he could rush back to protect his wife and children!
Zhou Pu and Zhou Dai were worried that Zhou Yu, Zhou Luo and others were in danger and were extremely anxious.
"With all our people, going back now won't do much!" Zhou Jin was surprisingly calm. He felt that if their sneak attack hadn't missed any loopholes, then the Tartars would have been in chaos by now. As long as he added some fuel...
"Hurry up and cut some branches, the more the better, and tie them to the horses after you're done cutting them," Zhou Jin ordered.
He then called over a dozen people in the team who had learned the Tartar language well from Zhou Po, and gave them all instructions...
"You guys will just... later..."
…
The Tartar military camp...
At this time, the leaders of the Tatars and the Oirat had already received news that their base camps had been attacked by the other side, and were leading their troops in a tense confrontation...
At this point, neither side trusted the other anymore, and they couldn't even care about Fuzhou City, which was about to be captured. They were afraid that if their soldiers went to the front to fight, they would be stabbed from behind by the enemy...
The two sides were each leading their troops, cursing and confronting each other, when suddenly, countless torches and huge clouds of dust rose in the distance, and then the soldiers' terrified cries were heard in the night:
"Oh no! The Han army has arrived! Run!"
"Oh no! We are surrounded by the Han army!"
"Wow! The Han emperor is coming with his troops!!"
The Tartar army had already suffered countless deaths from disease and starvation in recent days, and the people were already in a state of panic. Now, hearing that the Han army was coming, the situation became even more chaotic...
Furthermore, both sides already distrusted each other, so they couldn't care less about Fuzhou City. Their priority was to preserve their own strength. Otherwise, if all their soldiers died, what if the other side took the opportunity to annex them?!
Don't let the enemy shamelessly swallow up our territory if we fail to conquer Dayan. That would be a loss!!
then…
"Retreat!" The leader of the Wala army gave the order first!
Then the Tatar leader also ordered a withdrawal!
…
Zhou Jin's side...
"Boss! It seems that the Tartars have really retreated!..." Zhou Dai, who was next to Zhou Jin, said in surprise while looking into the distance.
Then Zhou Po and the other ten riders who were sent by Zhou Jin to confuse the enemy also came back.
"Ajin, the Tartar army has retreated!" Zhou Po also said excitedly.
"good!"
Zhou Jin clapped his hands excitedly!
"Let's go! Brothers, follow me and chase them! Remember, don't get too close to the Tartars. We must act like we have tens of thousands of troops!"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded in unison. At this time, they all knew Zhou Jin's intention, which was to let them act like a big shot and make the Tartars think that the reinforcements from Dayan had arrived!
So they all unleashed their lion roars, each with a dozen or so branches hanging from their horses, carrying two or three torches, and led by Zhou Jin, howling and chasing after the Tartars...
But they were always three or four miles away from the Tartar army...
The Tartars were already panicking, and after being misled by Zhou Po and the others' Tartar language, they truly believed that reinforcements from Dayan had arrived. Seeing the smoke and dust billowing behind them and the roar of killing, they no longer cared about whether it was real or not...
The leaders have all run away, so what do these little pawns have to do now? They only know that whoever runs behind will die!
It’s more important to escape quickly!!
The author has something to say:
