Chapter 720 I’m Sorry!

"Do you really have a solution?" Song Jue asked in even greater astonishment.

This was a desperate situation for anyone.

Although Song Jue had discussed strategies with Ye Xiao before, they were all aimed at how to disrupt the other party's activities. No matter how capable a person was, how could he face a raging fire that stretched for hundreds of miles?

Even if it happened to be a torrential rain...

Facing such a large fire, I'm afraid he would be helpless in a short period of time.

What could Ye Xiao do?

But, no matter how everyone asked, Ye Xiao didn't say anything. He just frowned and issued an order: "All troops, assemble! Listen to my orders and prepare to attack. Perhaps today's battle... will be our only chance to turn defeat into victory! And this fire planned by the other party is our chance!"

Everyone was full of doubts and worries, but the Marshal had an order in front of them, so they had to obey and prepare.

Because, facing this situation, no one had a good way to deal with it, so they could only believe in Marshal Ye's countermeasures.

All the troops were gathering silently.

On the top of the city wall, Marshal Ye stood with his hands behind his back, watching the busy people below the city with a deep look.

In the Lanfeng military camp.

Wenren Jianyin's face was also full of pain and confusion.

Wenren Chuchu was looking at his uncle, wondering if he could really give that order!

Fighting on the battlefield, life and death, victory and defeat, and the means that should and should not be used are nothing but trivial matters.

But, just a big fire burned down a city, and even all the vitality within a few miles of this land was destroyed... It is absolutely unscrupulous and outrageous.

At the very least, after this fire, there will be millions or even tens of millions of people in the surrounding area of ​​thousands of miles, without food and clothing.

And this vitality will not be restored in the next few decades.

Wenren Jianyin was silent, and his usually elegant face showed a bit of ferocity. With an army of 1.5 million, a strong attack on Tiefeng Pass guarded by only tens of thousands of people, it actually had to deploy such a vicious strategy...

This itself is already a failure!

"Uncle, is victory or defeat really that important?" Wenren Chuchu had been looking at him, and at this moment, he asked softly.

"Does it really mean that we have to destroy the vitality of this place for decades in order to win a war?"

Wenren Jianyin thought painfully, and he turned his head. Hundreds of generals around him were looking at him quietly.

If he could not win this battle, these old brothers who had followed him all their lives would be punished after returning; even, many of them would have their families destroyed!

"I... have no choice!" Wenren Jianyin gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and said this sentence in great pain.

"No choice..." Wenren Chuchu sighed.

Finally, he stopped persuading.

The hostile stance of the two countries meant that there was no choice.

"Speed ​​up the progress!" Wenren Jianyin closed his eyes and ordered: "Ship the kerosene up!"

"Marshal, do you want to... add something else in it? Just like the batch of kerosene prepared in the largest firewood storage tent?" A general said tentatively.

Wenren Jianyin's facial muscles twitched, and he murmured, "Even if it is against the will of heaven... there must be a bottom line of moderation..."

His words were very cold.

Very dull.

The general nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a word and retreated.

Wenren Chuchu had been paying attention to the top of the city, and saw from afar that the tall figure in white clothes had been standing on the top of the city.

However, the figure did not care about the urgent situation outside the city at all.

What are you thinking about?

"General, why didn't the enemy attack as expected? Don't they understand that they are now in a dangerous situation where they are doomed to die!?" A general was a little suspicious: "According to common sense, even if they know that they can't destroy it, they should send troops to fight to the death now...After all, fighting to the death still has a chance to fight, at least you can get a few more people to take the blame. If they are burned to death...it would be too unfair."

After saying this, everyone felt strange.

"Could it be that they have known that there is no hope and simply gave up the last resistance?" A general guessed.

The generals looked at the general flag flying on the top of the city and were blown straight by the strong wind, and they were all puzzled.

"Is there any conspiracy hidden?" Someone said: "This... must be prevented."

Suddenly a large group of people sneered: "Conspiracy? Tell me, what kind of conspiracy can you play for me in this situation? In such a situation, even if the ten major generals of the mainland gather together, there is no way to do anything, and they can only sigh helplessly!"

"But why did the other side not move at all? Waiting for death? The number of super masters on the other side is far greater than that of our army. If it weren't for them, our army would have taken Tiefeng Pass long ago. Why do we have to resort to this desperate measure!"

"You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe they have given up too!"

"General, there may be a trick here. The other side may be waiting for us to set fire." A general walked quickly to Wenren Jianyin's side.

Wenren Jianyin took a long breath, his eyes slowly turned into a ruthless, cold and determined look like an eagle: "Even if it's a trick... we can only carry on like this!"

"We have no choice!"

"Continue according to the original plan!"

"We must win this battle! At all costs! As long as we win, it's worth it no matter what the price!"

"Yes!"

"Light the fire in the early morning!"

Wenren Jianyin looked at the city pass in the distance and said four words slowly.

"General, is it too late to light the fire? There is still a full six hours of buffer time before the early morning; if the Emperor Chen's army retreats during this time..." said a general.

"I just want them to retreat, and this period of time is the time left for them to retreat." Wenren Jianyin said solemnly: "I would rather kill them on the battlefield than burn them to death."

"Yes, I understand."

The Lanfeng army is still advancing forward. Slowly, the stacked firewood has touched the land three feet outside the city wall, but the soldiers on the top of the city are still indifferent to this. They just look at them coldly and pile up firewood under their own city!

Then, pour kerosene.

The firewood gradually increases, and the pile gets higher and higher...

But no one on the Tiefeng Pass side came out to stop it, and there was no sign of retreat!

Everyone just looked at it blankly.

With a wooden face.

Wenren Jianyin had been paying attention to the enemy's movements, and stood there all night.

The enemy did not retreat.

They just stayed on their own land, facing the raging fire that could burn at any time, and remained motionless. It seemed that they had made up their minds to live and die with this city!

Even if they died together, they would not hesitate!

"I was forced into a desperate situation, but so were they!"

Wenren Jianyin sighed and murmured, "I'm sorry!"
