Did Da Qi really take back Bazhou City overnight?
In fact, this is not accurate. A more appropriate statement is that the soldiers of the Great Qi took one night to capture the city of Bazhou and the Liao and Jin people stationed there.
On the seventh day after the great victory in the capital, Lu Chen and Li Xiang personally led the troops, carrying a large number of important strategic materials, and attacked Bazhou City directly.
The entire Bazhou City was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. This once prosperous and bustling city was now occupied by the Liao and Jin armies that had fled in defeat.
Their morale was low, military discipline was lax, and soldiers with exhausted figures and sad faces could be seen everywhere.
In the tent, Yelu Song sat with a gloomy expression, his originally upright figure now looking a little hunched.
Heavy sighs came out of his mouth, as if he wanted to spit out all the sorrow in his heart.
His eyes lost their former luster and became dull, and he looked like he had aged more than 20 years in an instant.
Yelu Song recalled the tragic battle. The army he led suffered an unprecedented defeat. Not only did they lose many soldiers and generals, but they also fled here in a panic, abandoning their weapons and armor. The pride of the past and the invincible reputation of the Liao and Jin cavalry were all buried there!
This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that because of this disastrous defeat, some of the tribes below are obviously no longer obedient to him. This is what gives Yelu Song the most headache.
Looking at the city in front of him, Yelu Song comforted himself that this action was not in vain. Bazhou City was captured, which was a great gain.
As long as Bazhou City is still in their hands, Da Qi will be defenseless against the Liao and Jin.
As long as he can be given some time to go back and recuperate, he will be able to make a comeback.
In the past few days since returning to Bazhou City, he has been thinking about how he lost this battle.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that the reason for their defeat was not that the Liao and Jin men were not brave enough, but that the enemy was too cunning.
Da Qi was really evil. It quietly invented so many weapons of war and caught them off guard.
Especially those balloons flying in the sky. Now when he thought of the smiling faces on the balloons, he felt trembling all over, his head was buzzing with pain, and he wanted to pounce on them and bite them hard.
After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, he firmly believes that there is no weapon or equipment in the world that is invincible.
The reason why some equipment has such impressive performance is simply because there is no way to restrain it.
They also have many skilled craftsmen in Liao and Jin. As long as he is given some time, he will find someone to study the solution after he returns. He believes that there will be brave men who dare to take risks when there is a big reward!
Even if we can't find a way to crack it, we can always copy it, right? What the Great Qi has, the Liao and Jin must also have.
Having technical difficulties? Steal! Sell to some officials who know how to do it!
After some self-comfort and psychological preparation, Yelu Song felt that he was able to do it again.
"Someone, serve the meal!"
This is how people are. When you are in a good mood, your appetite will naturally improve.
Yelu Song plans to have a drink tonight and then have a good sleep.
The long battle did make him feel a little tired.
But just when he was a little tipsy and thought he could go to bed, there was a violent explosion, which made him break out in a cold sweat and half sober up.
He rolled and crawled out of bed, put on his armor, and roared, "What happened? Who will tell me?"
"My king, it's bad! The people of Daqi are coming and they are attacking the city!"
"What! They actually dared to chase us. How many people are here?"
"I estimated that it should be around 50,000 people."
"Fifty thousand people attacking a city garrisoned by over a hundred thousand? Hahaha, I thought Da Qi had produced some truly capable individuals, but this is the result? If they manage to break in, I'll chop off my head..."
Boom! Another loud noise choked back what Yelu Song was about to say.
What he saw was a sea of fire all over the sky, and the memories of the dead began to attack him madly.
He hurried to the window, looking at the flames burning everywhere, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible? Are they crazy? Don't they plan to take Bazhou City anymore? Who is the commander? Are they planning to refine the entire Bazhou City directly?"
…
"Master, do we really have to do this? If we continue to survive, hundreds of thousands of lives may be burned to ashes." Standing outside Bazhou City, Li Xiang also asked the same question.
Looking at the blazing city before him, Lu Chen's face remained calm as he said, "There are no longer any citizens of our Great Qi in Bazhou City. Let it burn. I will use these 300,000 soldiers to bury the people of Bazhou City with them. I will use these 300,000 soldiers to tell the world that our Great Qi cannot be humiliated!"
After saying that, Lu Chen turned around and glared at Ma Tong fiercely: "What the hell are you doing? Where's the Italian cannon I asked you to prepare? Drag it up here! You have one night to use up all the kerosene, explosive packs, and white phosphorus bombs in your hands!"
"Tomorrow morning, when you enter the city, not even a living mouse, let alone a human, will be allowed! If there's even one living thing, I'll hang you on the city wall!"
As the saying goes, when you are poor, you use tactical infiltration; when you are rich, you use firepower bombing. It turns out that the fear of insufficient firepower is deeply engraved in the bones of every Chinese.
Ma Tong swallowed hard. He finally understood why the Imperial Master had never ordered the construction of ladders. It was because he had never intended for the soldiers of the Great Qi to conduct a regular siege.
Looking at the flaming oil thrown into Bazhou City by the catapults, and looking at Bazhou City which has now become a sea of fire, with flames and thick smoke everywhere and screams everywhere, even a killer like Ma Tong couldn't help but feel his heart trembling.
What a terrible murder this is! Even the Imperial Master could do it. If it were someone else, he would definitely not be able to suppress it!
Looking at the blazing Bazhou City, Lu Chen still had the energy to explain to Li Xiang: "In fact, when a fire breaks out, the most terrifying thing is not the high temperature of the flames, but the harmful toxic smoke released during the burning process."
"Look, the entire Bazhou City is now filled with thick smoke. I can guarantee that by tomorrow morning, many people will have been intoxicated by the smoke."
"vomit……"
When Li Xiang thought of that scene, she couldn't help but vomit.
Lu Chen shook his head, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with this disciple's mentality? He can't stand it anymore? There are even more disgusting things I haven't even mentioned yet."
After finally stopping himself from vomiting and wiping the stains from the corners of his mouth, Li Xiang asked curiously, "Master, are we really going to abandon Bazhou City? If that's the case, even if we drive the Liao and Jin people away, we'll still have nowhere to defend!"
"Silly child, the old must go before the new can come. I've already had cement hauled here. We'll rebuild a new one, a much larger and more magnificent Bazhou City. Look, I've even prepared a city plan. This will be a commercial street, this a bathing center, and this a casino. Now we can save the trouble of demolition. You have no idea how great it feels to not have any stubborn residents!"
