Chapter 431 Burning the New Wilderness
Chapter 430: Burning the New Wilderness
“Mr. Zifang, I know everything about Xinye’s situation. If I wasn’t completely sure, would I choose to escape from prison tonight?”
Qin Hao looked confident, but Zhang Liang had a big mouth and didn't know what to say.
prison Break? It turned out that he was planning to escape from prison tonight, and he took the initiative to deliver it to his door.
Zhang's conscience was extremely bitter, feeling that even God was fooling him.
Qin Hao ignored Zhang Liang, turned around and ordered to the left and right: "Kill everyone in the prison."
)
Some of the prisoners in the prison must have heard the conversation between Qin Hao and Zhang Liang, so to be on the safe side, we could only shut them up forever.
Peerful screams suddenly sounded in the prison. Xue Rengui and Huang Zhong both looked indifferent, but Zhang Liang had another understanding of Qin Hao's ruthlessness.
In order to achieve one's own goals, even innocent people can be sacrificed at will. This son is also a hero. Zhang Liang secretly thought.
Outside the prison, Yu Ziqi commanded the army in a leisurely manner and surrounded the prison with three floors inside and three floors outside.
Xinye, as a place where Xiang Yu's army stored grain and grass, naturally had to be guarded by generals. Zhang Liang, who was deprived of his military power, was only a nominal guard, but the real person in charge was Xiang Yu's brother-in-law, Yu Ziqi.
Since Qin Hao was captured alive, the Han army has basically suffered repeated defeats. Everyone attributed the reason to their commander, and Yu Ziqi was no exception.
Qin Hao had brought countless troubles to Xiang Yu, so even if Zhang Liang was sacrificed, Yu Ziqi would never let Qin Hao go.
"My lord, general, I'm sorry. Who wants you to be an obstacle to my lord's dominance?"
Yu Ziqi murmured to himself, already prepared to sacrifice Zhang Liang. Of course, he would not deliberately sacrifice Zhang Liang. After all, he sincerely admired Zhang Jiao.
Suddenly, there was a scream in the prison, which made Yu Ziqi feel a little uneasy, so he quickly sent someone to forcefully go in to investigate.
Three spies guarding the door of the prison killed more than 20 Yellow Turban soldiers, but they were eventually outnumbered and beaten to death.
Just when Yu Ziqi thought he could successfully enter, the soldiers who entered looked like they had seen ghosts, and they all screamed in fear and ran out. ‘
Yu Ziqi grabbed a deserter and asked sharply: "What is in it?"
The deserter pointed in the direction of the prison in horror and trembled: "They are all dead. There are devils."
“Waste.”
Yu Ziqi threw the deserters aside, and then rushed in personally with weapons. However, not even a moment after entering, Yu Ziqi also escaped in embarrassment.
Under the gaze of all the soldiers, Yu Ziqi, who was still frightened, felt that he was very shameless, so he yelled at the prison door: "The two guys inside have the guts to get out, hiding in there and making a sneak attack are nothing. "
“Come in if you have the guts.”
A loud and joking voice came from the door of the prison. Naturally, Yu Ziqi would not go in. Looking back on the shocking scene just now, Yu Ziqi was filled with fear.
As soon as Yu Ziqi entered, Xue Rengui and Huang Zhong came to kill him. Yu Ziqi didn't dare to wait for a moment, and turned around and ran back.
"How could I forget these two people?" Yu Ziqi said to himself with a wry smile.
You must know that these two people were captured alive by the 'Overlord' himself. He can compete alone, but if they are together, they can only run away.
Yu Ziqi still overestimated himself. He was no match for Xue Rengui or Huang Zhong in his prime. If he hadn't run so fast just now, he would definitely not be able to get out once he was caught up by the two. In the prison, all the prisoners had been slaughtered, and Xue Rengui came to Qin Hao and reported: "My lord, we are safe for the time being, but this stalemate is definitely not the answer..."
Qin Hao knew what Xue Rengui wanted to say, raised his hand to interrupt Xue Rengui's last words, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no safer place in Xinye than this prison, and reinforcements will come to pick us up soon."
Xue Rengui was stunned. They were in Xinye City now. Even if reinforcements arrived, how could they get in? The number of Xinye defenders is quite large.
Suddenly, there was another noise outside. After seeing the fire in the sky through the skylight, Qin Hao immediately smiled with joy.
“Look, the reinforcements are coming. Go and guard the gate. Don’t let the enemy troops in before the reinforcements get here.”
)
Outside the prison, after Yu Ziqi and Huang Zhong cursed each other for a while, they stopped this meaningless behavior.
But what should we do now?
Treat them to death by heaping human lives on them?
That’s all.
Just when Yu Ziqi was about to give the order, a pillar of fire suddenly lit up in the east of the city, followed by a fire in the south of the city.
Yu Ziqi stared at this scene dumbfounded. He no longer cared about Qin Hao in prison, and quickly led a small group of people to check. Of course, most of them still stayed.
The direction of the fire was exactly where the Yellow Turban Grain Depot was, which contained more than a month's worth of grain for the 400,000-strong army that had just arrived recently. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the fire to break out for no reason.
The reason why Yu Ziqi went to check the cause of the fire first was because if all the food and grass were burned, the Yellow Turban would have no choice but to return to Wancheng.
Qin Hao is still in Xinye City after all. As long as the four doors are closed tightly, it will be impossible to escape from Xinye City unless he grows wings and flies out.
After Yu Ziqi arrived, he mobilized troops and horses to extinguish the fire and alienated the people to avoid the fire. However, the fire was so powerful that instead of showing signs of weakening, it spread to the west and north of the city.
Looking at the completely burned grain warehouse, Yu Ziqi said to himself anxiously: "It's so good, how could there be such a big fire? What should I do?"
At this moment, two yellow scarf soldiers came over carrying a seriously injured soldier. Seeing that they were the guards of the grain depot, Yu Ziqi asked quickly: "What is going on?"
The seriously injured guard said weakly: "The Han army disguised itself as a food guard team, attacked and burned down the grain depot."
Yu Ziqi’s eyes widened and he said in disbelief: “How is this possible?”
If the Han army wanted to disguise themselves as the Yellow Turban Army's food protection team, they must first wipe out the original food protection team. If anyone escaped, the Yellow Turbans would notice it. How did the Han army know the marching route of the food protection team?
Secondly, the Han army also needed to know the Yellow Turbans’ city gate command. Only if the command was correct, would the city gate defenders open the city gate and let them in.
The password is decided by Xiang Yu himself and changes basically every day. Even Yu Ziqi doesn't know what tomorrow's password will be. How did the Han army know it?
But the fact is that the Han army really did it. Not only did they roll into the new field openly, but they also burned the Yellow Turbans' food and grass.
As for the reason, you can figure it out with your buttocks. There must be a traitor within the Yellow Turbans, but who is it?
Yu Ziqi probably couldn't have imagined that it was his sister, Yu Shilan, who revealed this information to the Han army.
It’s the second update. After losing full attendance, why do you feel that the number of code words has decreased a lot? I hope everyone can give Liuxiang some motivation, please subscribe and recommend votes...
