Chapter 300 Lure the snake out of its hole
"Brother Zhang, select two thousand men and seal all the exits and vents of the underground city."

Tian Xuan did not show off for too long. After the mechanical sand boat surrounded the entire Jingjue City, ladders dropped from the bow, and the 10,000 Qin soldiers standing on the boat, under the command of the generals of various departments, left the mechanical sand boat one after another. The 10,000 Qin soldiers lined up in front of Jingjue City, forming a neat military formation that was not afraid of the wind and sand.

Tianxuan stood on a high ground, holding a saber made of fine iron. He swept his eyes over the army for a moment and gave a decisive order.

"Here."

Last time, Tianxuan sent Zhang Han and Zheng Guo to Jingjue City in order to find out all the exits and vents in the underground world of Jingjue City, so as to prevent the Ghost Cave Clan from escaping through the huge underground world. At the command, Zhang Han, who was carrying out the mission with Zheng Guo, bowed his head and accepted the order. Two thousand elite soldiers followed Zhang Han and stepped out of the army.

Soon, teams dispersed and headed to different regions according to Zhang Han's orders.

"Chen Ping, take your men and assemble the ten Po Tu San Langs right away."

After ordering Zhang Han to block the exit and ventilation vents of the underground city, Tianxuan turned his gaze and looked at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping, who had a beautiful face like a girl, smiled harmlessly at Tian Xuan's order, but it made Liu Ji, Fan Kuai and others feel terrified. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I know what to do!"

After receiving the order, Chen Ping led hundreds of dexterous soldiers towards the wooden boxes that were moved from the mechanical sand boat.

"Everyone else, set up camp here."

After assigning tasks to Chen Ping and Zhang Han, Tianxuan just glanced at Jingjue City and then put it back into his eyes.

At this time, the main force of the Qin army was only a hundred feet away from Jingjue City. From a distance, Jingjue City was completely defenseless, the city gates were wide open, the streets were empty, and the houses were deserted. It seemed that everyone in Jingjue City knew that the Qin army could come at any time and had already fled.

"Sir, why don't you go into the city and rest?"

Tianxuan ordered the army to set up camp on the spot. Fan Kuai, who noticed the situation in Jingjue City, asked in confusion.

Tianxuan rolled his eyes at Fan Kuai and said, "Fan Kuai, do you think that without the mechanical sand boat, thousands of people from the Jingjue Kingdom could disappear without a trace?"

"No!" Fan Kuai thought about it and replied with a confused look on his face.

Tianxuan asked again: "Then what do you think, are we familiar with Jingjue City, or is the Ghost Cave Clan familiar with it?"

"Your Majesty, of course it's the Guidong Clan!" Fan Kuai answered quickly, with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Then, do you know that the Guidong tribe has an underground city under this Jingjue City?" Tianxuan was almost amused by Fan Kuai and continued to ask.

Fan Kuai nodded: "I know."

"Then why are we entering the city?" Tian Xuan scolded angrily, "We are not as familiar with the terrain as they are, and they are hiding in the underground city. They may come out of the rat hole at any time. Are you going to die?"

"I know my crime!" Fan Kuai did not show any dissatisfaction when scolded by Tianxuan. Instead, he was sweating all over. His face, covered with a beard as fine as steel needles, showed a strong fear. He apologized to Tianxuan in fear and trepidation.

"Your Majesty, the army has brought 300 jars of kerosene," Li Shang said after hearing Tian Xuan's words. A fierce look flashed across his brows, and he volunteered, "How about I lead my men into the city, and before it gets dark, pour kerosene everywhere in the city, set it on fire, and smoke out those Ghost Cave people hiding in the rat holes!"

"Approved." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Shang's face was full of satisfaction after getting Tianxuan's permission. While expressing his gratitude, he began to mobilize troops and brought out jars of kerosene that could easily be mistaken for wine, intending to start a blazing fire as a gift to the Guidong people.

………………

boom!
late at night.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the desert night is completely different from the desert daytime, with bone-chilling cold and sharp winds. If you are not careful, you will freeze to death, which is not surprising. However, a raging fire that started in Jingjue successfully dispelled the coldness within a thousand feet.

The entire Jingjue City was doused with enough kerosene by Li Shang, and after it was ignited, it looked like a huge torch, burning fiercely under the night sky. Endless smoke kept changing shapes in the night sky and rushed to the clouds. Some smoke poured into the caves dug in Jingjue City and went straight to the underground city.

"What beautiful fireworks!"

The Qin army camp was set up on a relatively flat open space several hundred feet away from Jingjue City.

Tianxuan, along with Yan Fei and Yue Shen, stood at the camp gate, admiring the beautiful scenery in the distance with relish and exclaiming in admiration.

"What are fireworks?" Moon Goddess was curious about Tianxuan's words and asked.

Tian Xuan looked at Yue Shen and tried to choose his words: "Fireworks? In this situation, don't you think that when the flames explode, they look like a flower?"

Boom!

As Tianxuan was speaking, an explosion happened in Jingjue City. Endless flames roared wildly. As Tianxuan said, the flames that shot out looked like unfolding petals, very beautiful.

"It's indeed very similar!"

Liu Ji, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Li Shang, Chen Ping and others were about five feet away from Tianxuan's family of three. When these people heard what Tianxuan said, they all showed deep agreement.

"After this fire is set, a lot of thick smoke will definitely rush into the underground city." Tianxuan admired the fireworks he created for a moment, and then turned his attention back to the real world. "Plus, Zhang Han is blocking the exit and ventilation holes of the underground city. If the Ghost Cave people don't want to be suffocated to death, they will definitely run out."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Tianxuan specially brought Zheng Guo, who had explored the underground city, with him on this expedition. Originally, Zheng Guo had gone to bed, but the fire in Jingjue City was so loud that it woke up the old man from his sleep. When Tianxuan was talking to Liu Ji and others, Zheng Guo, who looked tired and yawned while walking, came over with the help of several Qin soldiers.

"The air underground is extremely thin. If the ventilation holes are blocked, even if the underground city built by the Ghost Cave Clan is large enough, because the underground city covers a large area, there are many people who need to breathe, and there is a lot of thick smoke pouring in. It won't be long before those people will run out from underground."

"After all, being hacked to death is better than being smoked or suffocated to death!"

At the end of his speech, Zheng Guo, who had regained consciousness, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, staring at Tianxuan meaningfully.

"Liu Ji, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Li Shang," Tian Xuan said solemnly, giving orders without hesitation, "The four of you will each lead a thousand elite soldiers to support the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. Once you find the Ghost Cave Clan, kill them without mercy!"

"Here."
