A day later.
Chen Mu led his army to Wancheng.
Above Wan City, yellow flags fluttered.
Zhang Mancheng looked down at the Northern Battlefront Army and laughed,"" Chen Mu, I, Zhang Mancheng, am not an idiot like Bo Cai. I know that you are a cavalryman. If you march so quickly, you will not have much rations and supplies. As long as I hold Wan City, you will retreat in less than ten days. Haha!"”
" Zhang Mancheng," Chen Mu sneered." What is the meaning of your Yellow Turban morals? Are you robbing the people and forcing them to become bandits?"”
"Humph!"
" Hmph!" Zhang Mancheng snorted coldly." I won't argue with you. If you have the ability, come and attack the city!"”
"Smart aleck!"
Chen Mu smiled disdainfully. He turned to Sun Jian and asked,""X Literature Station, are there any civilians in the city?”
"I don't think so!"
Sun Jian shook his head and said," Although Wan City is a major city, its scale is far inferior to cities like Yangzhai, Chang 'an, and Luoyang. Wan County can accommodate up to 130,000 people at most. Zhang Mancheng will definitely store up grain wantonly and drive the people out. Therefore, this city is probably full of Yellow Turban rebels!”
"Fengxian!"
"Send the catapults within three hundred steps and use alchemical fire oil to attack the city. The 120,000 Yellow Turban soldiers are crowded together, and with a large amount of rations, they are seeking their own destruction.”Chen Mu said coldly.
"Here!"
Lu Bu ordered his soldiers to send the catapults 300 steps away before loading them with alchemical fire oil.
" What's that? A ladder?"
On the city tower, Zhang Mancheng looked at the trebuchets that were being transported over and asked in puzzlement.
A Yellow Turban general said with a strange expression,""Chief, it looks like a war chariot, and he's almost as tall as Wan City. Are they planning to climb up on their poles?”
"Shoot, shoot!"
Zhang Mancheng's expression changed, and he immediately ordered the guards on the city wall to shoot arrows.
Thousands of arrows flew into the rain and shot toward the soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army. Unfortunately, the catapults were not even half the distance away from Wan City.
"Light the fire!"
Lu Bu shouted as he held the sword at his waist.
Ten soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army lit up the alchemical fire oil jar with torches. The jar was filled with alchemical fire oil. If it exploded inside Wan City, it would cause an indescribable fire. Moreover, the alchemical fire oil could not be put out with water. There was no solution.
"Fire!"
Lu Bu drew his sword and shouted angrily.
"Boom!"
Ten jars of fierce kerosene flew into the sky, directly jumping over the city wall and smashing into the city.
The earthen jar exploded, and the alchemical fire oil burned with sparks. A raging fire rose to the sky from the inside of Fan City.
"Light the fire!"
"Fire!"
Lu Bu shouted these two words numbly. He had used all his martial strength to shout, but he saw the enemy panic and collapse. Some people could not bear the burning pain and jumped down from the city tower to commit suicide!
The city was set ablaze.
Three hundred jars of alchemical fire oil were thrown into Wan City, and the huge city had already turned into a sea of fire.
Ghostly wails and howls came from within Wan City, causing Sun Jian and the other generals to tremble in fear.
"Gulp!"
Sun Jian dismissed the apocalyptic scene from his mind and turned to look at Chen Mu.?
He had led the army for many years and participated in countless battles, but he had never seen such a tragic scene.
He had seen tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties under Huangfu Song's command. The battlefield was also extremely bloody, but it had never been so brutal. He found it difficult to accept the sudden extermination of the massacre.
The entire city had been turned into a sea of fire, and more than a hundred thousand people had been killed in the city. Why did Chen Mu not even blink?
Was there really going to be a peerless killing god in the world who could kill people like flies and was comparable to Baiqi?
Inside Wan City.
Now, words could no longer describe the situation. Perhaps Chen Mu's description of the raging fire had already explained the scene in the city!
Screams of pain could be heard continuously. The Northern Battlefront Army, who were thousands of steps away, could feel the heat wave.
It didn't take long before a nauseating fragrance wafted out from within Wan City.
" What?" Sun Jian couldn't take it anymore and asked," Marquis Zhenbei, isn't this too sinful?!"”
"You don't understand!"
Chen Mu shook his head. His expression remained unchanged.?
Sun Jian's face was ashen." I may not have the same achievements as the Northguard Marquis, but I've led the army for more than ten years. I think I have some experience. Now that I've killed so many people, do you think you can sleep well?"”
"Zhang Jiao's sins are worse than mine!”
"This is war. Justice does not go into business, and kindness does not lead the army!”
"What I want to pacify is the Yellow Turban Rebellion. It is a war of millions of people. The enemy can't kill all of them. The only way to minimize casualties is to intimidate them, make them fear you, make them feel that you are invincible, and eliminate their disobedience!”
"After this battle, not only will they not dare to defend the city and resist wherever I go, but they will also abandon their weapons and surrender!”
"X Literature Station, I set the city on fire, killing 120,000 with one kill. Everywhere I go, the bandits will be wiped out!”
"Or should I kill 40,000 to 50,000 people at once and cause heavy casualties in my own city? Then, when I go to other provinces and counties, I still have to kill them and cause heavy casualties? Great kindness, great evil, I have my own thoughts, I don't need you to teach me how to lead the army!”Chen Mu stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently.?
