There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 421
As a result, the fire spread upward again, Xu Tong panicked and wanted to remove the armor, but the armor could not be taken off immediately.

The fire engulfed Xu Tong, who rolled on the ground and cried miserably.

The guards around him wanted to come over to help him put out the fire, but before the fire hit the street, a lot of incendiary bottles fell down.

This time, the dog blew up.

These guards were also recruited one after another, and the fire was ignited themselves, who would help Xu Tong put out the fire.

Although the target of the incendiary bottle this time was the boats on the river, as a river bank, under the extremely poor aim of the incendiary bottle, this river bank was also the hardest hit area.

However, the main generals of this bandit army were all concentrated on the river bank.

So, one after another fell.

Xu Tong was burned to death.

And Shen Ze and Zhuo Wanli, the other two lieutenants of this bandit army, did not escape the disaster either.

Shen Ze was quite unlucky, the incendiary bottle fell directly on top of his head, and he was burned to death without even having time to react.

Zhuo Wanli was lucky, he was not burned by the incendiary bottle, but he stepped on something on his foot, slipped, slipped and fell to the ground, and was stepped on several times by the soldiers who ran away in a hurry , before Zhuo Wanli got up after being trampled over, a burning man jumped at Zhuo Wanli, so Zhuo Wanli was also set ablaze.

The fire is relentless.

There were flames everywhere, and thick smoke everywhere.

Not only people, but also the weeds all around were also set ablaze.

Looking down from the sky, it was a mess and cruelty.

The only good thing is that after Xu Tong took the 4 people stationed on the east side of the Grand Canal, he immediately blocked the canal's river surface, so that in this section of the river, no ordinary people would take boats with other ordinary merchants. Here, it was these bandit soldiers and ships that were burned this time.

The fire is still burning.

The bandits on the river bank had all run away, and those who could not escape were burned to death, leaving only a large number of corpses.

Li Chu didn't know how many people were burned to death, but judging from the number of escaped bandits, it seemed that there were only a little over 3 left.

In other words, there were at least [-] bandit soldiers who were burned to death by the fire this time.

This is not the key, the key is that the goal this time has been completed.

This time the target is these ships.

To the east of Danyang is a Grand Canal, which is a natural barrier.

Li Chu is not afraid of their large numbers, now that they occupy Danyang, and with the city in hand, they are not afraid of being overwhelmed by their crowd tactics. Now Li Chu is afraid that these people will only surround Danyang and attack Changzhou and other places instead.

Because of this, Li Chu dispatched the hot air balloon air force, and waited for Xu Tong's 4 people to cross the river before attacking.

I am not afraid that you will cross the river, but I am afraid that you will cross the river.

Once you cross the river, destroy the boat. If you want to cross the river and go back, there will be no chance.

Burn your boat and see what you can cross the river with!
There is no way to cross the river. With the natural barrier of the Grand Canal, Changzhou's safety can be guaranteed.

There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and Changzhou is even surrounded by rivers.

After Li Chu conquered Changzhou, he used boats in Changzhou city to cross the river when he came out of Changzhou. Now these boats are docked in Changzhou city. The safety of the canal and Changzhou has been guaranteed.

As for them wanting to fight back to Jintan, let's fight.

The position of the Golden Altar is now of no use to Li Chu. After taking down Danyang, this Danyang is a throat!

"Let's go, return to Danyang."

All the incendiary bottles on the hot air balloon have been squandered, and the air force without the incendiary bottles has no combat effectiveness for the time being. Li Chu ordered the captains on the walkie-talkie to let them return to Danyang County.

When I returned, looking at the sea of ​​flames under my feet, I still couldn't bear it.

Don't blame, don't blame, if you want to blame, blame this period.

In war, there is no place for the undead.

It will be a success!

The only thing Li Chu can guarantee them is that in the future, the policy on Jiangnan will be superior and superior.

The hot air balloon unit returned, but what Li Chu didn't know was that this time, in addition to burning the 4 people crossing the river to the east, at least 5000 people were burned to death. The three commanders-in-chief of the 5000-thousand bandit army were also killed in the sea of ​​fire.

Without the backbone, without the thieves led by the lord, coupled with the unimaginable panic in their hearts caused by the fire, until now they still don't know who the enemy is, especially these thieves themselves are composed of ordinary people. Cognitive?Now when I saw the fire falling from the sky, I thought it was God who was angry and punished them.

After this frenzied escape, he breathed a sigh of relief when finally there was no sky fire chasing after him. His breath was relieved, but his heart was panicked. God's wrath and God's punishment, his feet were trembling , extreme panic.

Go to Danyang?
To Commander Zhang?

The fool went back there.

Who dares to go there?

Do you still think that the sky fire didn't burn yourself to death? They were lucky enough to save their lives. They dared to go there again. After seeing that the sky fire didn't fall again, they took a breath and immediately ran around, ran, ran to the countryside, ran Going to other places, they all ran away anyway. After this sky fire, almost no one dared to go back to help Fang La.

The reason why Mingjiao is so prosperous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reason why these people are confused by Fang La, is because of the smog caused by the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River. , so it is easy to be instigated by Fang La to rebel and revolt together.

Worshiping the gods is far less direct than the punishment from the gods.

The god they worshiped hadn't performed a miracle yet, and the wrath of the gods came to punish them this day. At this time, who would dare to believe in the god of light again?

It must be the god of light who offended the god of heaven, otherwise how could there be such a fire from heaven?

Almost all of the more than 3 people who escaped scattered in all directions, leaving only a team of less than a few hundred people still coming to Danyang County.

In the sky, the Air Balloon Air Force is still on its way back to Danyang County.

Li Chu naturally noticed the movement of these bandit soldiers at his feet.

This……

This is all gone?
Seeing these 3 people running towards Danyang, I thought that these people would go to the south gate to join the man surnamed Zhang, but unexpectedly they scattered and fled.

This?
This, happiness came so suddenly?

Li Chu was a little flattered.

He confirmed again and again through the telescope that these people really ran away, not the so-called separation tactics of the thieves. At the same time, he would not think that these Fangla thieves would have such a clever fighting method.

However, Li Chu still couldn't figure out why these people were like this.

A big fire is nothing more than damage to more than 5000 of them and the boats crossing the river, isn't that the case?

Or is it that their leader was also killed in this fire?
If this is the case, it can be explained clearly.

It itself was made up of some farmers, or many of them were made up of forced conscripts or people who couldn't survive. Now that they have encountered such a tragic fire, and the coach was burned to death, the possibility of escaping is quite high.

Come to think of it, it should be like this.

He also didn't expect that a big fire hadn't brought such a windfall.

At first I just wanted to burn the ships, but I didn't know that all the [-] bandit soldiers were burned away in the end, which was a surprise.

However, these thieves can't run away like this.

The situation has been relieved now, but it will definitely need to be cleaned again in the future.

After all, they did too much evil when they were in Fang La's army. I'm afraid that if they run away, they may turn into bandits or the like. After Danyang's side stabilizes, they must be cut off again. Yes, when the time comes, I will turn a blind eye and close one eye, and use other punishments instead. If you are dishonest, you will never show mercy.
