Zhangye City, county government. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the sky was not yet clear, Luo Cheng had already gotten up early, dressed up, and began to preside over military affairs in the county hall.

Inside and outside the lobby, a large amount of military funds were piled up, which were all materials left by the Qin army, all of which showed how Cao Cao retreated in a hurry at that time.

Luo Cheng also took Zhangye City yesterday afternoon, and he has been busy setting up camp and arranging sentry guards, and he has not paid too much attention to these things in the county government.

He remembered that tonight at the latest, the Son of Heaven potter might lead a large army to Zhangye, and he would definitely stay in the county government at that time, so it was not good to be so messy, so he got up early in the morning and thought about cleaning up.

"Pack up all these lost documents and everything, Your Majesty may take a look at them." Luo Cheng commanded.

The soldiers on the left and right, with sleepy eyes open, hurriedly got up and carried piles of books and books around.

Suddenly, a soldier outside the courtyard exclaimed, "Look, it looks like there's a fire outside." ”

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers outside all stopped, looked up and looked out, and they were all amazed, pointing and talking for a while.

Luo Cheng frowned, walked out of the lobby in a few steps, looked up in the direction of the north, and sure enough, he saw a faint fire, rising into the sky.

"How could you be so careless and catch fire...... Luo Cheng muttered a complaint.

In his opinion, although the sudden fire was a bit unexpected, it must have been some kind of presumptuous soldiers who scavenged some wine and meat in the people's houses, lit a fire, ate and drank water.

The military discipline of the Wei army was originally very strict, and the pottery merchants strictly forbade their subordinates to disturb the people, but when Luo Cheng captured Zhangye, the people in the city had fled with the Qin army, and the city was empty, and there was no one in the city.

Since the city was already empty, Luo became a provincial trouble, so he ordered the soldiers to use the people's houses as military camps to facilitate rest.

Those people fled naturally to take away their belongings, but it is inevitable that some will be exposed, especially those large families, it is normal to have a few cattle and sheep that cannot be taken away, and it is reasonable that after being looted by those soldiers, they quietly make a fire and roast and eat it.

Luo Cheng subconsciously thought that this fire was those slanderous soldiers, who accidentally knocked over the fire and caused a fire, and if it was extinguished, there was nothing to make a fuss about.

"Look, there's a fire in the south, too."

"Not only in the south, but also in the west."

"What's the matter, there are fires everywhere, it looks like the whole city is on fire!"

Just as Luo Cheng was about to go back to the house, the soldiers behind him suddenly screamed again, and the panicked screams rang out one after another.

Luo Cheng's body was shocked, and he suddenly raised his head and swept around, and sure enough, he saw fires rising in all directions, as if in the blink of an eye, the entire Zhangye City was on fire everywhere.

"This fire is strange, it's not ordinary!" Luo Cheng's heart was shocked, and he jumped onto the roof with a few vertical steps.

Looking around, Luo Cheng gasped.

The fire is more than one place, look around, only to see that the entire Zhangye City is full of fire, there are dozens of houses, the fire spreads rapidly, and soon the half-pawn city is burned.

"Kill Wei Dog—"

"Kill Wei Dog—"

In the crackling fire, there were bursts of killing, as if there were thousands of enemy soldiers, suddenly falling from the sky and killing into the city of Zhangye.

"What's going on, how did the Qin army sneak into the city, and how could they set fire to most of the city in the blink of an eye, what the hell is going on!?" Luo Chengyu's face changed in shock, and he blurted out an exclamation.

The cruel truth no longer allows Luo Cheng to be suspicious.

Many soldiers of the Wei army lived in the houses, and many people did not have time to escape from the fire, and were burned to death in the houses, and the terrible screams echoed in the night sky.

The surviving soldiers were frightened and panicked, and finally escaped from the fire, and heard the killing sound of the Qin army everywhere in the city, thinking that the Qin army took the opportunity to attack, and the fighting spirit collapsed immediately, and they opened the city gate one after another without giving orders, and fled out in all directions.

Luo Cheng rode his horse to the street, shouting at the soldiers not to panic, to put out the fire immediately, not to escape, but he couldn't suppress the collapsed military spirit, and even beheaded a few soldiers to no avail.

"General, the whole city is going to burn down, save it, let's get out of the city quickly." The lieutenant next to him cried out.

Luo Chengyu's face was as gloomy as iron, and when he looked around, he saw that the entire city had almost been swallowed up by the sea of fire, and even the county government was spread and burned by the fire.

At a certain point, even if he suppressed the army's heart, he couldn't resist the power of nature, forcibly extinguished the fire, and finally could only be burned to the ground by the raging fire together with this city.

Luo Cheng looked unwilling, but he was helpless, so he had to grit his teeth and shouted hatefully: "Order the whole army, don't panic, retreat from all gates, and assemble outside the south gate to prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the situation to attack." ”

When the order was issued, Luo Cheng didn't care much, so he turned his horse and hurried to the south.

……

Outside the South Gate.

In the poplar forest, thousands of Qin soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time looked at the sudden fire of Zhangye City, and they were all stunned.

Jiang Wei also smiled, and a smug smile of youth appeared on his young face.

Xiahou Yuan, who was next to him, looked at the raging fire from afar, and his unruly face was also deeply shocked, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

After a long time, Xiahou Yuan came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Wei's gaze, and had already added a bit of impressment, nodded and exclaimed: "Jiang Boyo, Your Majesty is really not mistaken, you are really a talent, you actually thought of such a plan to dig a tunnel and burn Zhangye." ”

This is Jiang Wei's plan.

As early as half a month ago, he expected that Cao Cao would be defeated, and the Tao Chamber of Commerce would chase after him, and the war would sooner or later burn to Zhangye City, where he was.

Therefore, he forcibly requisitioned houses in the city in advance, dug several tunnels to the outside of the city, and hid flammable materials such as sulfur, saltpeter and fire oil under the roofs and walls of the houses in the city.

After all preparations stopped, he offered a plan for Cao Cao to abandon Zhangye City, and left a lot of military resources in the city, creating a false impression that he abandoned the city in a hurry and fled.

In this way, Luo Chengcheng occupied Zhangye unsuspectingly, but he didn't want Cao Cao to secretly hide a group of thousands of elite soldiers, led by Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei, etc., ambushed in the depths of the poplar forest outside the city, just waiting for the Wei army to enter the city, send troops to sneak into the city from the tunnel, set fire to the city, and frightened the Wei army's heart to collapse and leave the city in a hurry.

Then, they who were ambushed outside the city could give the fleeing Wei army a fatal blow.

Now, the fire has raged, the city gate has been opened, and the Wei army is fleeing in a panic, everything is in Jiang Wei's expectations.

Even if Xiahou Yuan had a little contempt for Jiang Wei before, in this scene, he couldn't help but give Jiang Wei a thumbs up.

"General Xiahou has won the award." Jiang Wei smiled faintly, pointed his gun at the front, and said with a murderous awe: "The time has come, it's time for us to appear." ”

Xiahou Yuan slashed his long knife, the anger of revenge in his eyes burned wildly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "How many battles have you lost, tonight, you can finally kill a big kill, blow the horn for the general, and the whole army will go out and kill all Wei dogs!" ”

Woo woo woo -

The order was passed down, and in the poplar forest, the sound of the horn of killing the hideous rose to the sky, and all the birds and birds in the forest flew away.

Xiahou Yuan rode his horse and galloped out, and thousands of Qin soldiers behind him, all carrying the anger of revenge, surged out of the forest, like ghost soldiers who suddenly appeared in the darkness, and pounced on Zhangye City, which was on fire, and pounced on those Wei soldiers who fled in a hurry.

"Today, it is the time when I, Jiang Wei, become famous in the first battle, the Emperor of Great Wei, thank you for being my stepping stone, haha-" Jiang Wei let out a happy and proud sound, and also came out with a spear.

Thousands of elite Qin soldiers rushed out in a swarm, and in the blink of an eye, they bumped into the fleeing Wei soldiers, with swords in their hands and killing indiscriminately.

Although the Wei army has a large number, its fighting spirit has been shattered by the flames, and it is easy to catch its breath when it is so hasty to flee, and when the shock is calm, it does not want the Qin army to suddenly kill like a divine soldier from the sky.

In an instant, Wei Jun's spirit was hit again, and he couldn't raise the heart to fight back at all, so he scattered and fled.

The Qin army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and split the way to crush the Wei army, and in a moment the killing was a river of blood, and the Wei army suffered thousands of casualties.

In the chaos of the army, Luo Cheng's sword eyebrows had been deeply condensed, and the anger on his jade face was furious, and he scolded in his mouth: "Damn, it's really Cao Cao's trick, how can my Luo Cheng's prestige be ruined here!" ”

Luo Cheng, who was unwilling, stabbed wildly with a spear, beheaded Qin soldiers under his horse one after another, and scolded the soldiers to fight back.

It's just that the morale of the army has collapsed, the soldiers only care about fleeing, the command system has completely failed, and except for some elite pro-troops, no one listens to his orders at all.

Seeing that his army was deserted and fled, one by one being cut to the ground, and seeing the Qin army showing off its might and wantonly killing, Luo Cheng was furious, but he couldn't save the defeat with his own strength

"Luo Cheng is a dog thief, Jiang Wei is here, let's take my life!"

In the chaos of the army, there was a long roar of arrogance, and no one could stop the broken army, flying like a whirlwind.

Luo Cheng looked back suddenly, but saw that a young general of the Qin State who was younger than himself was also using a silver spear, and in a blink of an eye, he had shot wildly and came straight to him.

"What nameless dog thief, dare to run rampant in front of me Luo Cheng, I want your dog's life-" Luo Cheng, who was burning with anger, shouted loudly, and the silver spear in his hand shot out.

Two sharp guns, two equally young figures, collided in an instant.

Boom!

Sparks flew up, and a loud crack of steel cracked in the night sky.

The shock wave set off by the impact forced a circular groove within a radius of three zhang.

When he passed by by mistake, a trace of surprise flashed across Luo Chengyu's face, and he secretly thought: "This Jiang Wei, the martial arts are also at the top, not much different from me, when did such a figure appear in the Qin army?" ”

Luo Cheng was surprised, and Jiang Wei, who passed by by mistake, was also shocked.

Although he is not a famous general of the Qin State, he is extremely confident in how strong his martial arts are, and he has long heard that there is a general named Luo Cheng in the Wei State, who is also young and good at using a silver spear, regardless of age or the number of marksmanship, they are extremely similar.

And Luo Cheng's reputation has long been outside, but he, Jiang Wei, is still relying on an unknown Liangzhou official, facing Luo Cheng today, of course he wants to take down Luo Cheng and become famous in the world with Luo Cheng's bones.

After a move, the confident Jiang Wei suddenly discovered that Luo Cheng's name was not in vain, just this martial arts was so strong that it was slightly above him.

Jiang Wei's self-confidence suddenly suffered a setback.

Stimulated by ambition, Jiang Wei suddenly let out a low roar, turned his horse around, and attacked again.

Luo Cheng was only surprised for a moment, and then his arrogance and ambition were stimulated, and the silver spear in his hand swung out and attacked head-on.

Two young top-notch generals, two silver war spears, fought together in a blink of an eye.

At night, I saw thousands of streamers and gun shadows, dancing all over the world, and the flying sparks were like furnace flames, dazzling over the fire of Zhangye City.

The roar of the war guns, piercing the eardrums, and the shock wave that swelled in circles, forced the two soldiers on the left and right to retreat step by step, and they did not dare to approach in fear.

Luo Cheng's force value is a few points higher than Jiang Wei's, but if he wants to win, how can he do it within a few hundred moves, just when he couldn't fight fiercely, the soldiers on the left and right were wantonly killed by the Qin army's ambush, and the defeat of the battle stirred Luo Cheng's mood and made his confidence gradually frustrated.

At this moment, not far away, Xiahou Yuan rode a horse and danced a knife to kill, his eyes were bloodshot, and the murderous aura was surging, and he roared in his mouth: "Luo Cheng, you lackey of the pottery thief, I, Xiahou Yuan, will slaughter you today and let out a bad breath for my dead brother." ”

Luo Cheng's face changed immediately, Jiang Wei couldn't fight in front of him, he didn't want Xiahou Yuan to kill again, he was an opponent!

Fight or retreat?

Luo Cheng's heart burned like fire, and he fell into a dilemma.
