Chapter 545 Night of Blood and Fire
The fire broke out too quickly and was fierce. At the beginning, Yan Liqiang had not noticed it yet, but in a blink of an eye, the fire started to rise. On such a night, the blazing fire seemed particularly conspicuous.
Yan Liqiang squinted his eyes for a while, then looked at Wang Jianbei, "Where is this burning place?"
"It's a big market in the gathering area of the Ebony Ministry!" Wang Jianbei glanced at the distance, like a premonition of the unknown, and a smile appeared on his face. "That big market is the lifeblood of those people in the Ebony Ministry. In addition to the various goods brought to Pingxi City by the Ebony Ministry caravan, the most of them are the food there. Once this fire is burned, the people of the Ebony Ministry will turn into mad dogs!"
"Hahaha, please feel free!" Yan Liqiang smiled, "Is the Governor in charge of the situation there?"
"Yes, Yucheng is watching over there, come, come, come, let's continue drinking!" Wang Jianbei waved, and a servant brought a pot of wine up...
...
As the fire broke out, the entire Shatu people gathering area became chaotic.
The large market of the Ebony tribe is connected with rows of houses of the Ebony tribe. The houses were all made of wooden structures. The fires expanded from all directions at an extremely fast speed, causing a group of Ebony tribes to rush out of the house and go to put out the fire!
There were people watching the market at night, and there were more than one person watching the market. However, when the people from the Ebony Ministry rushed to the vicinity of the market, they found that all the people watching the market had been killed.
In addition to the escorts of the Ebony tribe who were guarding the market, there were actually several Uri tribe members.
The corpses of those Uli tribe seemed to have been killed by the Ebony tribe, and some died completely. The most important thing is that on the bodies of the Uli tribe, fire notes and pine oil they carried with them were found...
However, at this time, extinguishing a fire is important. When the people from the Ebony tribe rushed to several nearby wells with various tools, they found that the wellhead of the well had been thrown away by a huge rock and could not be cut into the water at all. It was impossible to get the stones in the well and open the wellhead without half a day...
All the Shatu people in the ebony tribe could only look pale as the fire in their residential areas became increasingly large, spreading from the market to the surrounding houses.
In the past few days, the Uli tribe and the Ebony tribe had already had some minor frictions, and people on both sides had died or injured, which was like a powder barrel.
"Kill the dogs and bastards of the Uri tribe..." The people from the Ebony tribe who wanted to put out the fire roared, their eyes red, dropped the buckets and other things in their hands, and took up various weapons.
Under this situation, the people from the Ebony tribe completely exploded. As long as those who could still hold the knife, they picked up the knife and roared, rushing towards the gathering area of the Uli tribe like a torrent.
...
At the bridgehead of Jiulong Bridge, Liu Yucheng, the governor of Pingxi County, wearing a full body of armor, rode on a rhino dragon horse with a golden sword. He looked coldly at the raging fire and chaotic roaring scenes that soared into the sky in the Shatu people gathering area in the distance. Against the backdrop of the fire, the expression on the face of Liu Yucheng, the governor of Pingxi County, was sharp and cold, like steel and iron.
Beside Liu Yucheng, there were spears, and teams of soldiers were already on standby here. On the way to the bridgehead, three rows of iron shields more than one person tall had been erected, blocking all the roads leading to the Shatu people's gathering area. The roofs of buildings on both sides of the bridgehead were densely packed with crossbowmen.
Fire is the signal!
There was a loud tremor sound from the street, and the soldiers in the camp in the city were coming quickly, everything was in the plan.
A commotion came from the river not far away. A group of men in black dresses in night clothes suddenly emerged from under the water and went shore by the river. Then the team quickly came to Liu Yucheng to report!
"Sir, the mission has been completed!" The team of men in black led a captain in Pingxi City. The entire team was all masters in the army.
Looking at the firelight in the distance, Liu Yucheng nodded with satisfaction, "You have done a good job, record the credit first, go down and change your clothes first!"
"Yes!" The team of men in black quickly left.
Liu Yucheng's eyes were still staring at the Shatu people's gathering area. After a moment, the noise in the Shatu people's gathering area suddenly became several times bigger, and suddenly turned into the sound of howlings of ghosts and wolves. And it became more and more intense. Liu Yucheng knew that the task of the second team of troops he sent should have been completed, but the evacuation route of the second team was not from Jiulong Bridge, but from the east gate of the city...
In the Shatu people gathered in the area where the people from the Uli tribe and the Ebony tribe were completely in chaos. Amid the flames, the two sides were chopping and slashing with flesh and blood on the streets of the area.
Many people in the Ebony tribe were holding torches and pine oil in their hands. After rushing into the gathering blocks of the Uli tribe, they threw the torches into the houses where the Uli tribe lived, and then poured them on pine oil. The entire Shatu people gathered in the gathering area was filled with fire and thick smoke. They were chasing the people of the Ebony tribe and the Uli tribe who were slashing everywhere.
When the Ebony tribe entered the gathering area of the Uli tribe, a group of guards from the Uli tribe rushed to their leader's home in a hurry. But at that time, the home of the Uli tribe had long been dead silent and there was no living person.
At this time, both sides were red-eyed. The Uli tribe suddenly had no leader and had no unified command and dispatch. Facing the people from the Ebony tribe who were killed, if they wanted to die, the Uli tribe could only instinctively pick up the sword and resist, and cut and kill the people from the Ebony tribe together, and there was no other way.
The streets of Shatu people gathered in the area were already full of flesh and blood, and falling corpses were everywhere. On both sides of the street were lit buildings, and fires soared into the sky, and no one put out the fire, because those who were holding tools to put out the fire were probably chopped off by the other party with their swords before they could run far away.
...
There is a defense team in Pingxi City. This defense team is the firefighting team in the city. Because most of the buildings in the city are made of wooden structures in this era, and the buildings are closely adjacent to each other. The consequences of a building catching a fire are unimaginable, so the governments of each city have organized special firefighting teams.
Seeing the fire in the Shatu people gathering area, the Fangyu Team in Pingxi City pulled a water truck and rushed towards Jiulong Bridge with a water dragon gun. However, when they rushed over, they were stunned. Jiulong Bridge was completely blocked. Knowing that the General Supervisor was here, the captain of the Fangyu Team hurried to pay homage to Liu Yucheng.
Liu Yucheng looked at the captain of the Defense Guardian Team with a serious face, "There has been a riot in the Shatu people gathering area in the city. The Uli tribe and the Ebony tribe are slashing each other, and the swords are eyeless, and people are dead inside at any time. You go in at this time to die. You wait behind first to be a backup. When the Shatu people riot is calmed down, it will not be too late to go in. If something happens to you, I will not be able to explain to the county magistrate!"
Listening to the chaotic sound of chopping and slaughtering in the Shatu people's settlement, the captain of the Anti-Yu Team also shrank his neck, nodded, and retreated...
The captain of the Defense Rule Team had just retreated, and hundreds of Shatu people holding swords, torches, and carrying pine oil rushed to the bridgehead of Jiulong Bridge. The Shatu people were stunned for a moment, facing the soldiers waiting for the Jiulong Bridge and Liu Yucheng riding on the Xilong horse.
Liu Yucheng looked at the Shatu people who rushed here coldly, with murderous aura in his eyes, "As long as the county magistrate said, you Shatu are really ambitions, and you still want to take advantage of the troubled waters and disrupt Pingxi City..."
As Liu Yucheng waved his hand down fiercely, countless powerful crossbows and arrows that had been prepared were shot at the Shatu people like raindrops. The Shatu people were crying and howling, and they were shot to the ground one by one...
