A man-made forest fire is constantly expanding, and inside and outside the mighty city, it has become a sea of fire. The fire was terrifying, and as the culprit that caused the fire, the soldiers of the Han army couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The flames soared into the sky, reflecting the entire sky red, and the smoke was boiling, billowing and surging, like a fierce beast spreading its claws. Xiang Xun personally looked at the front governor, his expression was serious, and the bright pupils reflected were full of jumping tongues of fire.

"Du Shuai, all the fire oil bombs have been launched?" Gao Huaide walked up to Xiang Xun with a slightly solemn expression, and said solemnly: "However, the fire is too big, it is difficult to contain, it is spreading to all sides, not only the mighty city, but also the nearby mountains are afraid that it will be difficult to protect, the future is extinct, and it is inconvenient to rush and kill!" “

The fire in the sky brought a devastating disaster to the Shu army in the city, and the Han army was also roasted outside, and the blazing fire poison could be felt far away.

"Du Shuai, the mighty city has fallen!" Murong Chengtai suddenly pointed ahead and reminded.

As far as the eye can see, in the midst of the raging fire, the scene of collapse can be clearly seen, and even the sound of the boom can be heard.

"Look at this momentum, the fire is unstoppable, and it has spread to our side!" Gao Huaide reminded Xiang Xun.

Of course, without his reminder, Xiang Xun also discovered that the most real feeling was the increasingly hot face and sweaty body.

"Order, retreat and return to the camp, all armies and battalions, make every effort to prevent fire, in case of contingency! Wait for the fire to subside before you move on! Xiang Xun gave a decisive order, and said very seriously: "This fire is too big, it will hurt the enemy, don't burn yourself!" ”

"Yes!"

With the order of Xiang, the Han army in front of the pass also returned to the camp in a nervous and orderly manner. Soon, on the position, only a dozen broken thunderbolts remained. After a few moments, it was devoured by the relentless surging fire......

In the Han camp, under strict protection, Liu Chengxun climbed high and looked, and in the firelight in the sky, he could faintly hear the desperate and miserable screams of the Shu army that was burned by the fire in the mighty Chengzhong.

"Fire and water are ruthless, today is known!" Liu Chengxun couldn't help but sigh.

This fire lasted far longer than expected, almost a whole day, and even longer if it were not for a shower. When the fire was at its hottest, the soldiers of the Han camp were restless.

A fierce fire and a rain made Xiang Xun also adjust his plan and deployment, allowing the soldiers to rest in the camp for one night, and on the second day, they would knock again.

In the early morning of the next day, the Han army marched out, and the Longqi army took the lead and easily entered the mighty city. Of course, at this time, it was a mighty walled city, which had become a ruin, surrounded by white ground, ruins everywhere, and the air was full of the foul smell of feet.

After the investigation was reported, with the order of the commander, the army and civilians quickly started the clean-up work, intending to clear a road that could be used by the army, ordnance, and baggage.

"The age of this pass is not far away, blocking our army for nearly three months, and now it will be destroyed in the war!" With a group of senior generals, he walked to the front of the inner city pass, looked at the earthen wall that was scorched by the fire, and Xiang Xun couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the secret report has obtained that in the mighty city, there are hundreds of thousands of food and ordnance in the Shu army, and all of them have been burned!" ”

Song Yanwu said: "The world is not peaceful, the thieves of the secession, the southwest, give this pass, the army of the Central Plains in the north." Now that this pass is broken, it is destined to be difficult in Shuzhong, and sooner or later it will be merged by the Han Dynasty and return to the king's rule! ”

"The eunuch is right!" Xiang Xun bowed his head, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, speed up the cleanup, and pave the way for the army to advance!" ”

"Du Shuai, after a cursory inspection, inside and outside the city, the corpses of the Shu army that were burned to death are only afraid that there are thousands. Between the mountain roads behind the southwest of the Guanxi, there are even more scorched corpses, and the tragic situation is amazing. A fire burned the Shu army to the ground! Gao Huaide's head was sweating, and he quickly found it and reported it.

Xiang Xun nodded in response, but he had already put away his emotion and said: "The Shu army escaped from Guancheng and must go to Liangquan, the state city!" General Gao, you first lead the Longqi Army, travel lightly, cross the ruins, and march to Liangquan. ”

"Obey!" Gao Huaide was immediately ordered.

Xiang Xun advised: "At this time, the Shu army, although it is full of heart and gall, but still not careless, you need to be careful to march, after the soldiers come to the city, choose the opportunity to move, at least the Shu army needs to be seen in Liangquan!" After the arrival of the army, the city will be broken in a battle! ”

"Yes!" Gao Huaide listened, turned around and left, beckoned his subordinates and soldiers, and scattered to gather the Longqi army.

Looking at Wang Quanbin, who was about to move, Xiang Xun preemptively said: "General Wang doesn't have to worry, when the road is cleared, you will lead the army south to support General Gao!" ”

"Xiang Dushuai!" arranged some more military affairs, and Liu Chengxun came up.

Liu Chengxun's noble and clean royal robe formed a strong contrast with the devastation and filth in his eyes. Seeing this, Xiang Xun greeted him and made a statement of concern: "Your Highness, this place has not yet been cleaned up, and the safety is uncertain, how can you come here." If there is an accident, the last general can't afford it! ”

"It doesn't matter! Lonely is not delicate enough to this point! Liu Chengxun smiled lightly.

Looking at Xiang Xun, Liu Chengxun's face was full of gentleness, and he said: "I came here alone, I was ordered by His Majesty to comfort the army, and now the mission has been accomplished, and it is time to say goodbye and return to Chang'an." Right now, the offense and defense are restarting, just when the military situation is urgent, and the army is taking advantage of the victory and enterprising, Lone will not bother here, causing trouble to Du Shuai, and distracting Yu Lone! ”

"Lonely, I'm leaving!" Liu Chengxun arched his hand.

"Your Highness is so virtuous, the last general admires it!" Regarding Liu Chengxun's performance and attitude, Xiang Xun's eyes showed a little more recognition.

"Murong Chengtai, you take someone to escort His Highness to Sanguan!" Xiang Xun commanded towards Murong Chengtai.

Liu Chengxun waved his hand again and refused: "There are guards and guards alone, Chengtai is a handsome general, so let's keep it for the handsome tent!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left first under the escort of several guards.

Regarding Liu Chengxun's performance, Xiang Xun did not show more attitude, but only sent another two hundred guards to protect him. After that, turn your attention back to the war.

The destruction of the mighty city is just the beginning, and the next thing is to chase the dead and chase the north, sweep the leaves in the autumn wind, and completely defeat and eliminate the remaining main force of the Shu army.

Fengzhou Prefecture City is not too far from Weiwu City, more than 30 miles to the southwest. Liangquancheng, which contained a large number of defeated troops, was in panic at this time, including the original garrison, and there were still more than 30,000 troops, but most of them were fearless divisions.

Li Tingqi, Gao Yanyu and Zhao Chongtao, the newly arrived prison army and other Shu generals, after fleeing to Liangquan, still made a difference. On this night, the troops and horses were quickly regrouped, the morale of the army was appeased, and the garrison was arranged. Although it was difficult to recover the disillusioned morale and demoralized morale for a while, order was barely restored.

"The methods of the Han army are too vicious, a fire, let us break our muscles and bones!" Gao Yanyu and Zhao Chongtao inspected the city defense together, and sighed: "It seems that the Han army has long planned this, just wait for Qiugao." Alas, we were so foolish that we did not notice their schemes! ”

Zhao Chongtao's mood also looked a little depressed, and he said: "Our Wang Shuxiang is still thinking of tricks and strange soldiers in Chengdu to cut off the back road ......of the Han army."

The report of Tang Cang's defeat was basically transmitted back. Han Jixun's Shu army was not completely wiped out, and some of the lost defeated troops were lucky to return to Liangquan.

"After this battle, the Han army is strong, our army is frustrated, I am only afraid of Liang Quan, and it is difficult to hold the ......" Zhao Chongtao frowned and said: "I have to ask for advice, Liang Quan is not enough, we should preserve our strength, retreat to Qingniling and Guzhen!" ”

"The eunuch has a good insight!" Gao Yanyu is a person who knows the soldiers, and he knows Zhao Chongtao's considerations, so he said: "Someone has already proposed, but it is just that there are a lot of scruples for discussion!" ”

"Now that it's all come to this, why bother about so much? How does Chengdu know about the danger in Fengzhou? Zhao Chongtao was a little excited and said: "The elite of the country, most of them are gathered here, if you lose the soldiers and horses, don't say Liang Quan, the Han army will drive straight in, and the four states of Qin and Feng will fall, and even endanger Xingyuan Mansion!" ”

"The last general is willing to follow the capital eunuch and make a statement to the envoy together!" Gao Yan said.

"Good!"

However, the two sides had a plan, and they had heard the guards of the city tower exclaim: The Han army is coming!

Gao and Zhao hurriedly climbed the city wall, looked out of the city, in the east of the city, at the extreme of the field of vision, the military flag was waving, and the crowd was surging. glanced at each other, and their faces were solemn, revealing the same meaning: the Han army came so fast, it was easy to get out!

On Gao Huaide's side, the leader approached Liangquan East City, observed the city defense a little, and could not hide his disappointment. Originally, he thought that if the Shu army was disheartened and loosely garrisoned, even if there were no heavy siege equipment, he would try to break it in one fell swoop.

However, the city was obviously prepared, and he would not waste the lives of his soldiers for the sake of personal merit, regardless of the situation. On the one hand, he sent people to seize the roads and passes outside the city, and on the other hand, he set up a fortress to defend himself and wait for the follow-up army.
