The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 367 Barbecue Master
"But His Royal Highness Jian Guo is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to commit more crimes!"

"This is the last chance for you and other Hulu traitors to surrender and not to be killed. If you refuse to surrender at this time, after the city is broken, the soldiers will overwhelm the territory, and the city will be full of thieves, regardless of gender, age or age!"

Facing the Ming army's persuasion to surrender, the Qing army's response was a rain of arrows.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

The envoys of the Ming army walked away in embarrassment, while the Qing army guarding the city stood on the top of the city and let out bursts of triumphant laughter.

Zhu Hongyu was rewarded, and he no longer had the slightest unbearable feeling in his heart, so he just ordered.

"Send the order, let's do it!"

Hearing this, an orderly soldier clasped his fists and left.

Not long after, the catapults of the Ming army on the front line received an order, and tightly sealed clay pots were put on the catapults one by one.

Ming soldiers with torches set fire to oil-soaked cloth strips projected from clay pots...

collapse!Bumble!

A soldier of the Ming Army knocked off the lock on the trebuchet, and the clay pots that were lit one by one flew towards the inner city of Guangzhou.

Black dots with flames shot towards the inner city of Guangzhou.

Draw arcs in the air!

The Qing army guarding the city looked up and saw the clay pots in the sky.

A Qing soldier let out a sneer.

"Hey, I'm afraid that this Ming thief is poor in his skills? What age is this, and he still uses trebuchets to attack the city?"

It's just that the Qing army's sneer just fell.

With a bang, a clay pot fell to the ground first.

The body of the pottery pot burst apart in an instant, turning into countless fragments, and the oil in the pot splashed everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, the oil on the ground was ignited by an open flame!

With a bang, the fire spread rapidly and burned.

The wooden buildings were quickly ignited with the help of oil, turning into balls of flames.

Snapped!clap clap!

As more and more clay pots hit the ground, shattering, oil spilled.

The fire spread faster and faster, and the entire inner city of Guangzhou was quickly engulfed by the disaster...

"what……"

"Help!"

"Flooded, help, help!"

"..."

The screams and wailing sounded continuously in the inner city of Guangzhou.

The Qing army guarding the city stared blankly at the inner city of Guangzhou, which had turned into a sea of ​​flames, with despair on their faces.

A soldier of the Qing army yelled, ran down the city wall, and ran into the sea of ​​flames.

Of course, they are not courting death!
It's because their family members are still trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and they are going to save people.

Shang Zhijie looked at the direction of the fire rolling and spreading, his eyes were tearing apart, and his eyes were full of despair.

"Damn it!"

"Ming thief is so vicious!"

"..."

Jin Guangzu stood at the gate of the Governor's Office, shouting loudly.

"Fire! Fire!"

"Go fight the fire!"

"The inner city of Guangzhou can't be lost!"

"..."

The yamen servants and soldiers in the inner city of Guangzhou fell into a panic under the fire all over the sky.

It can only be said that fortunately the incendiary bombs used by the Ming army were just ordinary petroleum incendiary bombs, and gasoline could not be extracted to make incendiary bombs.

Plus the trebuchet has a limited range!
And the common fire prevention function of ancient Chinese cities, that is, the separation of squares and cities, and the buildings are divided by streets.

Those streets are natural isolation belts.

This made the scope of the fire strictly limited to a few cities near the outer city, and failed to ignite the entire inner city of Guangzhou.

But even so, the rapid spread of the fire in the inner city made the Qing army defending the city very troubled.

A large number of Qing troops defending the city were engulfed in the sea of ​​flames while fighting the fire.

Although the incendiary bombs of the Ming army used oil!
But once the oil is ignited, it is not so easy to extinguish.

Fires can only be extinguished with sand, and if water is used to extinguish the fire, it will only aggravate the spread of the fire.

But the Qing army didn't know this, and a famous government soldier went to put out the fire with a bucket.

A bucket of water was poured over, and the oil floated on top of the water, but it continued to burn.

It even turned into a more terrifying fire!

A Manchu yamen servant didn't pay attention, and the fire spread over, burning his feet in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the yamen servant turned into a scorched corpse in the shape of a human amidst the screams.

If you want to extinguish the fire caused by oil, with the technical conditions of this era, the only option is sand.

Or wait for the combustibles to burn out, and the fire will go out by itself!

Sand and soil can be used to extinguish the fire, but the workload is much greater than that of water.

After all, in terms of light weight, sand is much heavier than water!
……

Looking at the raging fire burning in the direction of the inner city of Guangzhou, Zhu Hongyu's expression was very indifferent.

Thinking of the possibility that he might bear the reputation of a barbecue master in the future, he desperately wanted to get rid of this pot.

Wang Ruxian on the side felt a chill down his back for no reason and shivered.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the surface of the Pearl River, the wind swept across, and the flags of the Ming army fluttered.

In the direction of the inner city of Guangzhou, the fire that was originally only ignited in a corner, spread rapidly when the strong wind blew.

Several squares and cities adjacent to the fire were instantly ignited!

Under the action of the sudden gust of wind, the fire spread like a surging wave.

Wherever it passes, everything is ignited!
The fire was raging, and countless people were engulfed in the sea of ​​flames, screaming in pain.

Standing outside the city of Guangzhou, watching the scene in the city, Zhu Hongyu's mouth twitched. It seems that his reputation as a barbecue master should not be shaken off.

The fire continued to spread, and one by one the squares were ignited one after another, even spreading around the Pingnan Palace.

Jin Guangzu stood in front of the governor's office, looked at the governor's office covered by the sea of ​​flames, and let out a shrill scream.

"God to die for me too!"

"God to die for me too!"

"..."

Although the original fire was not small, it would not ignite the entire inner city of Guangzhou.

If it weren't for this sudden gust of wind, the fire wouldn't have spread to the point where it was almost engulfing the entire inner city of Guangzhou!
How can it not be regarded as God wants to kill them? !
This is clear, it is God who wants to burn them to death, the Qing army huddled in the inner city of Guangzhou!

……

The fire lasted for a whole day and night. When the fire was at its peak, half of Pingnan Palace was engulfed by the fire.

The entire inner city of Guangzhou has become a piece of scorched earth!
A large number of banner people who settled in it were engulfed by the fire and turned into charred corpses.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no one out of ten of the population in the inner city of Guangzhou!

Boom!Boom!
There were bursts of roars between the sky and the earth, but it was not the artillery of the Ming army, but thunder.

Thick clouds piled up in the sky, and brontosaurus climbed in the clouds.

A drop of rain fell to the ground!
Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous torrential downpour.

The sudden heavy rain extinguished the fire in the inner city of Guangzhou.

Puffs of white smoke evaporated, making Nuoda's inner city of Guangzhou seem like it was in a fairyland.

However, in the inner city of Guangzhou, which is like a fairyland, the ground is full of traces left by the fire!
