Chapter 173: Burning Yuan Jun
Someone tries to go down to the city to remove the stone blocking the city gate, as long as the stone is removed, it will not be difficult to open the city gate, and it will not be easy to run away at that time?
However, when they went down to the city, they realized that things were not as simple as they thought. Since Liu Yan had left behind the Burning City, how could he be so careless? Although Wen Chou reacted and fled in time, this does not mean that these Yuan Jun can be so lucky.
After glancing at each other, the two soldiers who rushed down to the city gritted their teeth and wanted to rush out. But the fire was fine, and the terrible thing was that the coals that were laid out on the streets were also ignited. The long street was red, and the soldiers who rushed to the city did not take a few steps before their boots were set on fire by coals.
After a scream, the soldiers fell on the coals and rolled over, the thick smell of barbecue, mixed with the smell of pungent hair after ignition, echoed the screams and wails.
The whole white horse, is burning.
The fire has risen, and the entire White Horse City is surrounded by fire, and the flames are soaring into the sky.
The feet of the soldiers who rushed down the city were getting hotter and hotter, so hot that they could barely get their foothold. The coals gradually turned red, and the whole street turned red. But they still gritted their teeth, endured the pain, and ran desperately. I don't know where the blade in my hand has been thrown, and the armor has been directly taken off by them and discarded at will.
And the soldiers who were still wearing armor couldn't help but feel like they were being tied up and grilled on the fire, and by the time they reacted, the armor on their bodies had become hot, and they couldn't take off the iron armor at all, and they were roasted to death like an iron plate.
At this time, under the city gate, the soldiers ran out frantically, and the cries of calling for their father and mother echoed in the air.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
A captain of the Yuan military academy picked up a big knife from the ground, slashed left and right, and fought a bloody way at the city gate. With a pop, he sat down outside the city gate, only to see that the long street behind him had turned into a sea of fire.
The flickering coals of fire, like rolling magma, are terrifying. More than a dozen blood blisters were burned under his feet, and the pain made him unsteady on his feet. He was so focused on running for his life that he didn't notice the burns on his feet. At this moment, he rushed out and stopped, and the pain in his heart under his feet made him unable to stand at all.
The other Yuan soldiers also screamed one after another, how could they have the strength to move away the stone blocking the city gate!
The lieutenant turned around and staggered to leave, but the fire bubbles under his feet made it difficult for him to even stand, where could he still run? As soon as he took two steps, the blood blisters on the soles of his feet broke, and his feet were immediately stained red with blood.
"Liu Yan! I won't let you go! ”
Before the words were finished, the thousands of Cao troops trapped in the city with them ignored the fire and headed towards the north gate, killing those Yuan soldiers who wanted to go down the city from the cloud ladder. The soldiers of the Yuan army were only trying to escape for their lives by grabbing the cloud ladder, but the soldiers of the Cao army had already put life and death aside, and what they wanted was to kill a few more enemy soldiers before they died, at least they couldn't lose money!
Bursts of howls came from the city, so that Yuan Jun outside the city couldn't help but be a little frightened, fortunately he didn't enter the city, otherwise, the one who can't get out and howl inside now, and the one who is burned to death is probably himself.
In fact, they also wanted to try to rescue their comrades in the city, but their rushing car had just been burned by Cao Jun, and the second rushing car was still in the camp and had not been transferred, and the brothers in the city had already been burned to ashes when they were transferred.
They can only sit here and rescue their brothers who came down from the ladder at the head of the city in time, and as for the others, they can't take care of it.

In the first battle of White Horse, Wen Chou mobilized 50,000 troops to attack the city. I heard from Feng Manlou that there were only 10,000 Tuntian troops in the city, and I thought that I could easily break through this city, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
First, the vanguard Mayan was beheaded by a yellow-mouthed widow, and more than 30% of the 3,000 light cavalry were killed and wounded, while the enemy only left 300 corpses. That's it, and then during the siege, Lu Kuang was seriously injured, Lu Xiang was repulsed, and he also suffered some internal injuries, and the car was burned, and the siege troops also suffered a lot of casualties.
Wen Chou originally rushed to the head of the city to fight, and almost occupied the head of the north gate, who knew that this Liu Yan actually played such a hand and dared to burn the city!
Wen Chou himself escaped safely, but the tens of thousands of soldiers who entered the city suffered heavy casualties. More than 8,000 of the 10,000 soldiers were lost, and less than 2,000 of the soldiers who survived were already frightened, and their morale was completely lost, and they were terrified when they saw the firelight. Moreover, almost all of those soldiers were wounded, and it was impossible for them to participate in the next battle.
Wen Chou was also glad that he did not let the army outside the gates of the three cities in the southeast and west attack the city, otherwise I am afraid that this time the 50,000 army may really be finished.
The 50,000 army lost 10,000 soldiers, and the troops suffered one-fifth of the casualties, and it was just for this mere White Horse City, how could he explain to Yuan Shao?
————————————————————————————————————
Let's say that Cai Yang and Qin Qi led the 700 cavalry army out of White Horse City, and the 700 cavalry army lost nearly half, and there were more than 400 people left. On the way, they saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of them, thinking that the Yuan army was in ambush in front of them, and when they were about to make a detour, they saw that the battle flag of the army in front of them had the word "war bear" written on it, and there was a big banner with "Fenwu General Cao Hong" written on it.
Seeing this, Cai Yang and Qin Qi quickly rushed towards Cao Hong's War Bear Army.
Cao Hong saw that the hundreds of cavalrymen wearing their Cao army armor were wounded and embarrassed, but he did not immediately step forward to respond, but ordered the soldiers of War Bear to be on guard to prevent the enemy from pretending to be Cao Jun.
When Cai Yang arrived in front of Cao Hong, Cao Hong let down his guard. He has cooperated with Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, for so long, he naturally recognizes Cai Yang as Liu Yan's confidant, and even asked Liu Yan many times to ask Cai Yang to serve under his command.
"Zixu! How are you here! What's going on with Whitehorse City! ”
Hearing the three words of White Horse City, Cai Yang burst into tears and remained silent.
When Cao Hong saw him like this, he had a plan in his heart. White Horse City must be more than auspicious.
Suddenly, a soldier under Cao Hong's command shouted, "General, look! The sky over there seems to be burning! ”
When Cao Hong heard this, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and saw that the sky in the distance was as fiery red as the sunset.
He shuddered, and hurriedly urged his horse to rush up a hill and look in the direction of the white horse. The light of the fire seemed to come from the direction of the white horse.
You must know that Cao Hong's location at this time is still nearly twenty miles away from Baima. Twenty miles away, you can see the light of the white horse's fire, what a terrible flame it must be! ————————————————————————————————————
