Chapter 105: Burning Gaotang Temple at Night
The rocket should be able to be fired hand-held while avoiding the flames, but Huang Li strictly prohibited this. It was too dangerous. Don't be a monkey in the sky.
Rockets flying with tail flames flew up, swept across the night sky, and plunged into the camp of Gaotang Temple outside Li Xu Di like meteors.
Following Huang Li's launch, rockets shot out from the trench surrounding Gaotang Temple, flying overwhelmingly toward Gaotang Temple from three sides.
Such a large target and range do not require precise strikes, and almost no rockets cannot be fired into the camp.
There were fires in the camp, one group, two groups, three groups... more and more, getting bigger and bigger. At first it was like stars in the night sky, and then it quickly turned into a blazing sun.
Lieutenant General Chen Fu was woken up from his sleep and rushed outside. He felt hot wind blowing against his face, the smoke was choking, and his eyes were filled with red firelight. In the fireworks, figures were running and jumping around, stumbling and rolling, screaming and screaming.
.
He opened his mouth wide and was stunned. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
"My lord, my lord." The soldier called repeatedly and finally woke up Chen Fu.
"Put out the fire, put out the fire!" Chen Fu's voice went from low to high, and finally he shouted wildly.
Boom! A ball of fire burst out from the roof, splashing out countless small flames. Immediately afterwards, a rocket exploded in front of the house.
Chen Fu and his soldiers fought hard, and everything was burning. Their efforts to save the enemy seemed futile and useless.
Qing soldiers continued to flee upwards, and the ground below had become a sea of fire. There was no way to go down the mountain.
Looking at the soldiers with gray heads and gray faces, Chen Fugang wanted to open his mouth to speak, but was choked by the thick smoke and coughed repeatedly.
There is burning everywhere, and what is more deadly is the thick smoke rising upwards. If you don't get burned to death, you will be smoked to death.
Chen Fu rubbed his eyes that had coughed up tears. His heart was filled with sadness and complete despair. He had already seen the miserable ending for him and his men.
The house was hit by two more rockets, and the fire was raging, crackling, and unstoppable.
Boom! The roof of the wing burned down, huge clouds of sparks exploded, and the blazing heat wave forced people to retreat.
The wooden camps, buildings, tents, warehouses, watchtowers and sentry towers were all crackling and burning.
"I'm guilty! I destroyed a historical monument." Huang Li sighed in his heart, watching the rocket launchers fired into the camp. The fire was already burning, and no one could stop it except God.
Although the Qing army built a reservoir in the camp, it was sufficient for drinking, but it was a drop in the bucket and useless in putting out the raging fire.
Screams and exclamations resounded through the night sky. With the help of the night wind, the fire spread rapidly and was out of control. People in the camp were scurrying around, stumbling around amid the rising fireworks.
Boom, boom... the gunpowder in the camp was either ignited or exploded, and large balls of fire burst out, dazzling people's eyes.
The rocket launcher stopped firing, and Huang Lichuan gave the order and led the soldiers to withdraw from the trench. There was no need to send troops to attack, most of the thousands of Qing troops at Gaotang Temple would be turned into barbecue.
Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu and other generals all came out of the camp to watch. The Gaotang Temple, which was once difficult to conquer, had now turned into a sea of fire, standing and burning like a huge torch, and there were sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
"This fire -" Li Laiheng swallowed hard, a little awkward with words, "it's burning so hot!"
Liu Tichun blinked his eyes, feeling a little dazed. It took a long time for his eyes to turn around, he regained consciousness and exhaled a long breath.
"Brothers, let me tell you, you must believe Mr. Huang."
Ta Tianbao scratched his fat face, looked left and right, and was very satisfied with the stunned expressions of Dang Shousu and Ma Tengyun, "Look, they burned down Gaotang Temple and wiped out thousands of Qing soldiers without even using a single soldier."

Dang Shousu nodded subconsciously, still immersed in this gorgeous and cruel fireworks show, his mind turned hesitantly, as if he was mentally retarded and imbecile.
Ma Tengyun sighed heavily and said in a deep voice: "Now I know that the power of the third prince's fire virtue is so sharp and irresistible."
"I've seen this before under Yiling City." Ta Tianbao proudly puffed out his chest and said, "It's just that it wasn't burned so badly that a hole of more than ten feet was blown out of the city wall. The ground shook.
..."
Ta Tianbao unknowingly became Huang Li's loyal supporter and die-hard fan.
It doesn't matter whether he has a low IQ or he is mentally retarded, but Huang Li did not disappoint him, and his bragging was confirmed one by one.
Dang Shousu licked his dry lips and finally regained some consciousness. He sighed and said, "It turns out that you, the princes, see things clearly and see people clearly!"
Ma Tengyun glanced at Dang Shouxu and said consolingly: "We haven't missed anything. This is also the credit of brother Dang. Look at Duke Jing, he will impress the third prince in the future!"
Regarding the aggravated "admiration", both Dang Shousu and Ta Tianbao understood it, looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little happy in their hearts.
There is already dissatisfaction, and it is inevitable to take pleasure in others' misfortunes.
The senior officials who watched the fireworks show were divided into three groups, talking and laughing in low voices.
"Mr. Huang has repeatedly performed miracles, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is endless, and the future of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is bright!" Hong Yu'ao stroked his beard and looked at the brutal scene of the Qing army camp, showing a happy smile.
Jiang Shangying clucked his head and said: "Before, it was only a rumor, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that God is favoring me, and I really have destiny."
Hong Yu'ao laughed and said, "Master Jiang, is it too early to say this?"
Jiang Shangying shook his head and said: "Knowing a little, I trust my judgment. Unfortunately, Mr. Huang expected Duke Jing to send troops to help in the battle, and I'm afraid he will be disappointed."
Hong Yu'ao narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Mr. Huang must be aware of Master Jiang's daring loyalty. As for Duke Jing standing still, there is no need to worry too much."
Jiang Shangying smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
He did write a letter and sent someone to send it to Shizhou Guards. But until now, there is no trace of Jing Guogong's headquarters on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
Obviously, Prince Guangxing of the Kingdom of Jing is determined to be a otaku, guarding his three-thirds of an acre of land!
Jiang Shangying did not intend to go back to persuade again. His nature was hard to change, and he had already seen through it. Moreover, he wrote two letters in total, and he still had hope that he could summon some people.
The Gaotang Temple was still burning, and the trench-digging prisoners who had withdrawn in advance gathered together to watch this purgatory-like scene from a distance.
"The fire is burning upwards, and there is no way to escape. Either you will be burned to death, or you will be choked to death by the smoke." A prisoner of the Qing soldiers shook his slender head and sighed, "It is much worse than being stabbed with a knife or a spear!"<
