Chapter 89 Adding fuel to the fire

"Do it."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the twenty archers behind him raised their bows and arrows. The arrows were already lit with fire. This was the case on all sides. When Li Xiang gave the order to shoot arrows, Li Xiang around him The guards also lowered their hands. With this kind of telepathy, their attacks can be synchronized as long as they are within a certain distance, which is something that no one else can accomplish.

Suddenly, the Tuyuhun Hall was surrounded by flames, and countless rockets were fired at the Tuyuhun Hall. Most buildings in this era were made of wood, so they basically ignited when exposed to fire.

"It's gone, it's gone..."

Someone inside discovered the fire immediately, and many people ran out of the house. Li Xiang's expression did not change, and he continued to order his men to shoot arrows. Now that the door is blocked, we just need to throw arrows inside as hard as we can. Coupled with the raging fire, the chance of survival for you people is no more than 30%.

Two barbarians rushed to the gate. They were about to come out. Two arrows had already been shot. One of them shot in the throat of one of them and directly penetrated his throat to death. The other one shot in the shoulder of another person. The man dragged his seriously injured body back.

"We can't run out. We are surrounded. Who is this?"

"Hurry up and report to the officer, we have a thief here."

The people inside still don’t know what’s going on, but one thing they understand is that there is no way to rush out from here. There are neat soldiers outside the gate. As long as someone shows his face at the door, they will be shot with bows and arrows immediately. Come here, there is no way out.

"Don't panic. Gather your men immediately. All uninjured people will follow my orders and gather in the middle courtyard."

Zaterk was ordered to be grounded by the emperor, but he was still able to send people out to do things. He also knew what was going on today. It must be that guy Li Xiang who came to take revenge. He had eaten enough outside the Ministry of War Yamen that day. loss.

I originally thought that the masters under him could kill Li Xiang in a sneak attack, but I didn't expect that the guys under that guy were so powerful. Although Zaturk had asked the masters to evacuate overnight, since the other party dared to come, they must have found him. evidence.

"Ignore those people and evacuate them all to the central compound."

Zaterk's order was quickly passed on, and many injured people crawled out of the house, but the surrounding soldiers didn't even look at them. In their opinion, such people had lost their combat effectiveness and continued to give them There is no use in bandaging the wounds. We might as well obey His Highness the Prince's order and retreat. At least we can save our own lives.

Another thing is that we all belong to different tribes. You and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just from Tuyuhun. There is no need to lose our lives because of you. The dynasty of Tuyuhun is equivalent to a loose alliance, including a hundred people under Tuyuhun. Among the sixty accounts, let alone cooperation, the struggle was very fierce.

"Your Highness, there is no one outside, do you want to rush in?"

Cheng Chuliang rubbed his hands and said. At this moment, he also wanted to try the power of this sword. It is said that when cutting with others, it can cut off other people's swords and also hurt others. It came in handy today.

"Don't worry, we don't need to go in at this time. They still retain a certain amount of fighting power. We just need to watch from the side. The fire inside will entertain them well. Aren't these people willing to retreat to the center? Then let us Add some fire to them and keep shooting arrows."

Although some brothers are not direct descendants of Li Xiang, they have come to help you. Now we are all brothers. If you let everyone risk their lives, that would be a bit too much.

"Your Highness, why don't we go in and kill him?"

Cheng Chuliang said with some confusion. He was still convinced by Li Xiang's command before, but now the opponent has obviously suffered heavy losses. If we go in at this time, we can complete this matter in a short time. There is no need to stand at the door. On fire.

"Brother Cheng, do you think we are in a hurry? There has been such a big fire in Chang'an City for such a long time. No one from the government has sent anyone here, which means they have known about this for a long time. Why should we let our people go in to fight? Next As long as one person is injured or killed, then this is a family. We now have the most reliable method, and of course we must pursue zero casualties."

What Li Xiang said was very reasonable, but for Cheng Chuliang, he didn't understand what zero casualties meant.

Li Xiang spent a long time trying to make this guy understand what zero casualties meant. The situation at the scene was just as Li Xiang thought. The fire began to slowly move closer to the center. Even though they all retreated to the innermost courtyard, But because there are too many trees in the yard, there is already a fire in the middle. From Li Xiang's position, it seems that the sky in the middle has been burned red.

"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous. If you value the lives of soldiers so much, you will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Cheng Chuliang said something from the bottom of his heart. In today's era of cold weapons, no matter how good you are at fighting, you will face huge casualties on the battlefield. Cheng Chuliang really admired Li Xiang for suddenly throwing out this theory. very.

When we conquered the Turks in the north, although we won the final victory, we brought back corpses one after another from the north of Saibei. Cheng Chuliang still remembers the white gauze all over Chang'an City that day.

If His Highness can consider the life and death of ordinary soldiers in this way, all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be well in the future.

While everyone was watching the excitement, the sound of war horses was heard in the distance. Everyone thought it was some yamen sending someone, but after a closer look, they found that it was some eunuchs from the East Palace.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Xiang said with some confusion, even if he were to come, it should be the East Palace garrison. What can you people do when you come?

"When I get back to Your Highness, the Crown Prince asked us to bring some good things."

The little eunuch said cheerfully. Several carriages were coming in the distance. There was a strange smell in the air. Many people didn't understand it at first, but they soon knew what it was. It's all lamp oil.

It turns out that dad had already predicted that we would attack with fire.

"Why are you still standing there, pouring oil into it?"

Li Xiang gave an order, and his men picked up the wooden barrels on the car, loaded half a barrel of lamp oil, and then started to spin on the spot. After reaching a certain speed, they threw the barrels and oil in to let you warm up.
