Chapter 524: Fire Burns New Breath

The battle flag moved, and the horn sounded.

Zhuge Liang skillfully used the moat, originally just planned to let Guo Jia retreat in the face of difficulties, and kill Wang Li's troops even more. But unfortunately, Jia Xu's arrival changed all that. As soon as the flag in the hands of the flag bearer moved, dozens or hundreds of bull horns sounded in the sky, and a scout rushed along the city, conveying Jia Xu's general order.

Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Gan Ning and others hurriedly urged the people of the headquarters, and all the horses tore a piece of their clothes, soaked it with water or saliva and wrapped it around the corners of their mouths, and went straight to the moat.

Thousands of soldiers held their shields high in front of them, defending against the arrows from the top of the city and the flames below, and thousands of soldiers followed, carrying on their shoulders everything that could be used to build a fire barrier, from stone bullets to earth.

Within a few moments, the city was already wearing a gray-brown belt.

At the end of the belt are the monstrous fires and soldiers calling for help, and at the other end of the belt are seventy or eighty thousand warriors waiting for battle.

"Up!"

Seeing that the fire barrier had been erected, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others had begun to use tools such as long ropes, iron cables and hooks to rescue the brothers who had not yet died in the moat.

However, they were different from the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command, they carried a ladder on their shoulders, but in their hands were fire oil bombs and oil drums that had not yet been loaded into black fireworks.

Moreover, this time, their ladders were no longer on the top of the city, but placed them on both sides of the moat one by one, and quickly built pontoon bridges leading to the bottom of the city. The remaining soldiers in the moat and under the city wall groped in the thick smoke and slowly climbed the ladder.

"Yuancai put it down, let me wait!"

Gao Gan and Zhao jumped off their horses, commanding their sons and daughters to pick up flammable materials and rush across the pontoon bridge in flames, Zhang Liao was already in front of them, looking at the two of them without question.

"Yuancai, Zijing, I am ashamed of your intentions. But my brothers and I under the command of Han Sheng died here, and I, as the main general of the upper peak, can't avenge them, and I have no reason to shame my ancestors! ”

Gao Gan and Zhao were about to argue, the blood drinking knife in Huang Zhong's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, the red light swept in the field of vision, two cold arrows clicked and broke to the ground, Huang Zhong's long hair stood upside down, he pulled out the iron tire bow on his back, wound the arrow, and Tuo Taishan hugged the baby, only looked carefully in the thick smoke, and an arrow flew out.

With a "snort", the sharp arrow had already left the string, piercing the red and black smoke, and went straight to the city. Before the soldier who had just released the cold arrow put away his bow, he saw a black arrow cluster enlarge in his eye, and then fell directly from the city with a scream.

Poor soldiers, damn or not, they fell directly into the enemy group under the city, three or five sergeants Zhang Liao, who were still burning with flames, were like fierce beasts on fire, their eyes flashed with devouring light, they no longer howled, they didn't have to endure the severe pain anymore, their hearts were bitten, and the three or five people piled up blocks as if they were pressing on the soldier's body.

The flames burst out again, and the sergeant and soldier instantly turned into flaming fireballs.

The soldiers at the head of the city looked at the scene in front of them, and they didn't dare to speak, but the soldiers under the city were greatly boosted, and the fire of revenge became more and more intense.

Huang Zhong shot the soldier with an arrow, thrust the longbow into his waist, and shouted loudly with a blood-drinking knife: "Guan Dabeard killed my brother, set fire to the moat, this revenge will not be avenged, brothers, take out your courage and tell Guan Dabeard: Evil will be rewarded, and blood debts will be repaid!" ”

"No!"

Listening to the screams of the robes in the sea of fire under the city, and watching the tragic situation of the brothers in the river, the soldiers had already been bleeding, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, how could they still withstand Huang Zhong's agitation?

The adjutant generals and lieutenants asked for battle, and more than 1,000 soldiers followed behind them waving their flags and shouting.

Huang Zhong patted Ma An, Che Kun and a cadre of lieutenants on the shoulders, straightened their clothes, and there was already a lot of respect in his eyes: "The switch warriors fight for the enemy, and the swords and halberds fight each other." Brothers, you are all Huang's brothers, and you all have a determination not to be afraid of life and death.

To be honest, although it is only a hundred and ten paces away, I believe you have already seen the danger on the other side of the river, which can be described as a sea of fire and poisonous arrows rampant. Huang didn't dare to guarantee whether you would all be able to come back safely, but Huang told you that it was definitely Huang's honor to be able to be a robe with you in this life! ”

"Action!"

Ma An, Che Kun and others silently gave a military salute with Huang Zhong, turned their heads and shouted angrily at everyone, and let the brothers who came from the ladder pick up the oil bombs and oil drums and step on the trembling ladder.

The fire under the city has been going on for a while, and there are few remaining soldiers, and the city is also full of smoke, and the field of vision is not very wide, except for a few cold arrows and a rain of arrows that only erupt from the top of the head after a while, and a large array of rolling wood, the time between them is safe.

However, the sea of fire is a sea of fire after all, and what they hold in their hands is tantamount to a time bomb.

Everyone carefully bypassed the obstacles in front of them as if they were crossing the river by feeling the stones, and rushed to the city for a moment when the rain of arrows stopped, quickly clearing a fire-free area, piling up the logs thrown under the city, the damaged ladders and the fallen soldiers, and pouring oil bombs and oil on them or them by the way.

With four walls and several kilometers of fronts, more than 4,000 soldiers could not cover everything after all, and countless people who fell into the fire, were wounded by cold arrows and arrow rain, and burned the oil barrels in their arms because of the fire.

The jade scriptures are pondered into many instruments, and the sword is drawn and buried in the sky.

After many dangers and difficulties, the warriors finally sprinkled the fire oil all over every corner of the city wall, and they were about to become a sword that leaned against the sky, and the sound of the city's head suddenly sounded, and the boundless rain of arrows and rolling logs poured down from the city again.

The screams came and went, and more than 1,000 soldiers only heard the sound of thunderclaps in the air, and then fell in pools of blood.

A piece of rolling wood fell, and Che Kun pounced violently, throwing Ma An into the moat, and his legs had already been broken by the rolling log.

"General Che, Brother Che!"

Ma An brushed aside the body of a brother above his head, poked out a head in the river, and hurriedly swam towards Che Kun, but saw Che Kun waving his hand at him, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and trying to suppress his injuries Shen Dantian shouted: "General Gao, set fire to the artillery!" ”

The wounded soldiers did the same, either protecting their robes or pushing them into the river, and shouted in unison with Che Kun: "General Gao, set fire to the cannon!" ”

Life is a hero, death is also a ghost!

This is Li Qingzhao's poem praising Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, but it is also a portrait of Che Kun!

Knowing that the brothers had already sprouted the will to live and die, Ma An and the others wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, and quickly swam to the other side of the river, where they saw that dozens of stone throwers had already picked up their thick arms and "sent" the remaining oil drums and fire oil bombs to the city wall on the other side of the river.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of flaming rockets came out of the string, as if carved crosshairs, and landed on the corpse mountain, rolling wood, and city gates on the opposite bank, as if weaving a starry galaxy on the moat.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

When the Milky Way landed, the starlight instantly set the mountains of corpses, rolling logs, and city gates on fire.

The wind fuels the fire, the poisonous flames pour water into smoke, and the raging fire once again surrounds the new city. Countless fire dragons danced wildly, connecting the entire Xinxi City into a sea of fire, and the long tongue of fire licked the city walls and gates wantonly.

The flames are surging, who dares to come forward?
