Chapter 160: Burning the House
"Mom!" "Dad!" As soon as the ropes on Ding Datian and Ding Dadi were untied by the soldiers of Jingyin Kingdom, they shouted and rushed quickly to Ding Shang and Ding Sen, who were still pierced by arrows, and knelt there crying loudly.
A villager who didn't know the situation asked a Jingyin soldier: "Aren't you fighting on the battlefield? Why are you here?"
The soldier said excitedly: "On the battlefield, we have won today! The Jingyin Army has won a great victory! The Hongluo Army has been completely wiped out! The Hongluo Kingdom has announced its surrender!"
"What? The Jingyin Army won a great victory... the Hongluo Army was completely wiped out... the Hongluo Kingdom has surrendered? Say it again! Say it again!" the villager said excitedly, his voice trembling.
"I'm willing to repeat this news a thousand times!" the soldier repeated, "The Jingyin Army has won a great victory! The Hongluo Army has been annihilated! The Hongluo Kingdom has announced its surrender!"
"Yes!" another soldier nearby said excitedly, "Our Jingyin Nation has won a great victory!"
"The Jingyin Kingdom has won a great victory! The Jingyin Kingdom has won a great victory!" the villager shouted excitedly.
The villagers nearby were stunned at first when they heard the exciting news, and then they kept shouting. The surprise after the great sorrow made them feel overwhelmed, with mixed feelings, unable to control themselves.
"The invaders have surrendered!"
"we won!"
"No more being bullied by beasts!"
"Did you hear that? Our Jingyin soldiers said that the Hongluo Army was completely wiped out! Completely wiped out!"
At this time, a villager looked at the body of the villager who was beheaded by Wang Lieci's men for cursing him and said, "It's come true! It's come true! The Hongluo Army was completely wiped out! It was completely wiped out! It was really completely wiped out!"
When Ding Datian heard the news of Jingyin’s great victory, he said, “Dad, Mom, Jingyin has won!”
Ding Dadi said: "Dad, Mom, the invaders were completely annihilated, Jingyin Nation won!"
The soldiers of Jingyin Kingdom helped the villagers to deal with the funeral arrangements for their deceased relatives, and then reported to their superiors, trying to find a way to help the villagers in Dingsu Village whose houses were destroyed rebuild their houses.
At that time, the Jingyin army was on their way back after winning the battle. When they passed by Dingsu Village, they saw a house in the village with thick smoke. When they approached, they saw that the house was on fire, so they went to put out the fire. Who knew that when they got there, they found that a soldier from Hongluo was holding a torch and an oil barrel and setting fire to the houses of the villagers in Dingsu Village! When they ran over to catch him and snatched the torch from his hand, in addition to a house that was completely surrounded by fire, another house had also been set on fire by the arsonist, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. During the firefighting process, the soldiers found that all the houses in Dingsu Village were empty, so they asked the arsonist what was going on. The arsonist refused to say at first. The soldiers of Jingyin took the torch that the arsonist used to burn people's houses and told him that if he didn't say it, they would burn him to death. He then told the soldiers of Jingyin that he was Wang Lieci's subordinate, and Wang Lieci had already stood up and went to the place where the villagers were hiding, so he stayed here to burn the villagers' houses. The soldiers of Jingyin State forced the arsonist to tell them where Wang Lieci was going, but the arsonist deliberately gave the wrong location and deceived the soldiers of Jingyin State.
The Jingyin Army left some soldiers to continue to put out the fire, while the main force rushed to capture Wang Lieci and his group. Since they were not sure whether the arsonist was telling the truth, they asked one of the soldiers to hold the torch used by the arsonist to burn the house and hold him hostage to find Wang Lieci together. If they found out that he was lying, they could use the torch to force him to tell the real whereabouts of Wang Lieci.
