Chapter 357: Surviving in the Fire
The book is picked up again.
After Guo Yan heard Li Ru's words, he also understood the truth of the matter.
However, unlike Li Ru, he doesn't think he is losing now.
They still have hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands now, and even if they have an upright duel with Li Xingzhi, they may not necessarily lose.
With this idea, he came to Li Ru's side, squatted down, pushed Li Ru, and said loudly: "Strategist, now is not the time to admit defeat!"
We still have hundreds of thousands of troops in our hands, and the entire Luoyang City is now under our control.
Even if we fall for Li Xingzhi's scheme, what can we do?
He was now only a hundred thousand troops outside the city.
With the same number of troops, are we still afraid that he will not succeed as the one defending the city?! ”
This is what Guo Yan doesn't understand.
In his opinion, it was just a small ploy,
Their strength was not damaged at all, and why Li Ru was so decadent really made him wonder.
After hearing Guo Yan's words, Li Ru opened his eyes, laughed miserably, pointed to Guo Yan's back, and said, "Since Li Xingzhi guessed that we would rush into his mansion, how could he not set a trap in the mansion?"
You must know that the fire attack plan is his good plan, when he exterminated the yellow turbans, he burned tens of thousands of yellow turbans to death with a single fire! ”
After saying that, he closed his eyes again with a painful face.
When Guo Yan heard this, his face changed, and he hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to see that a raging fire was burning around the walls of the entire Li Mansion.
These fires blocked all their retreats, and not only that, but these raging fires were slowly burning towards the center of the Li Mansion.
Although there was not much firewood or grass on the ground, these fires were like demon fires, and they could burn on large and smooth stones.
Seeing this, Guo Yan shouted loudly at the helpless soldiers around him: "What are you still doing in a daze? Fetch water to extinguish the fire!! ”
With Guo Yan's shouting, his subordinates woke up like a dream, and hurriedly looked for tools to fetch water to extinguish the fire.
However, after looking around, they found that the hussar general's mansion did not leave them with anything at all.
Not to mention the copper basin, not even a small bowl was left for them.
Not only that, but they also found that all the wells in Li Zhi's mansion were blocked by stones, and there was no way to get water to extinguish the fire!
At this time, one ran to Guo Yan's side with a desperate face, and said loudly to Guo Yan: "General Qiyu, there is no tool in the Li Mansion that can take water.
And all the wells in the Li Mansion have been blocked, what should we do? ”
At the end of the day, there were tears on the soldier's face.
Although this soldier has also experienced the tempering of the battlefield, he has never encountered such a situation.
In the past, he fought against the enemy, and he was never afraid.
Even when he was cut by the enemy, he never screamed.
But now he was afraid, he was afraid that he would die in this raging fire, and that he would not even have a place to be buried.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that what dies is worthless and dies quietly.
He also fantasized about his own death scene, in his opinion, he must have been on the battlefield, after a duel with the opponent's general, he was beheaded by the opponent's general.
It was the most heroic and desirable death he could think of.
However, it backfired, and at this time, it seemed that he was going to die quietly in this raging fire.
Guo Yan was hearing this
After the soldier's words, he laughed miserably, he didn't expect that Li Zhi would do such a desperate job.
Then, he looked up to the sky with a desperate face and shouted: "Li Xingzhi! That's tens of thousands of lives!! ”
"Stop shouting!" Li Ru, who was still decadent, also calmed down the decadence in his heart at this time, and after standing up, he said expressionlessly: "Until now, I can keep one counted." ”
After finishing speaking, he instructed Guo Yan, who was full of despair: "Pass my military order, let all the soldiers take off their clothes and soak them with urine."
Then, put the wet clothes on your body and find an open place to lie on the ground tightly. ”
When Guo Yan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Can you escape from this fire in this way?" ”
When Li Ru heard this, he closed his eyes tightly, sighed with sadness on his face, and said, "Whether you live or die depends on the heavens!"
That's right! Tell the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses tightly.
In a fire, not many people actually died in the fire, most of them were choked to death by the smoke generated by the fire, and the soldiers must remember this! ”
After saying that, he opened his eyes, and at this time, his eyes were calm.
Things have come to this point, it's useless to think so much, let's find a way to save my life first.
Afterwards, Li Ru untied his clothes, took off his coat, and urinated on his clothes.
He peed and said self-deprecatingly: "If I can survive this time, maybe I will thank Li Xingzhi."
I was always nervous when I was trying to deal with him, so I drank like crazy.
Now, I'm afraid I'm the one who has the most urine in this Li Mansion. ”
After hearing Li Ru's words, Guo Yan also saw it.
For a warrior like him who fights all day long, death has long been commonplace for them.
The reason why he was so nervous just now was because of the suddenness of the incident, which made him blind.
At this time, after hearing Li Ru's self-deprecating words, he also calmed down and took off his clothes unhurriedly.
Subsequently, he also learned from Li Ru to throw his clothes on the ground and pee on them: "Strategist, you are not the only one who is nervous.
When his subordinates knew that they were going to deal with Li Xingzhi, they were also very nervous.
Therefore, the subordinates also drank a lot of alcohol, and the subordinates felt that the subordinates really didn't necessarily have less urine than you. ”
"Haha......" After hearing Guo Yan's words, Li Ru laughed.
Then he stooped down and picked up the soaked garment and draped it over himself.
He tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his garment and put it over his head.
After doing this, he looked around, found a relatively open place, and lay down on the ground.
Then, he spoke: "I didn't expect that you still have the bearing to put life and death aside.
In the past, I always thought you were a villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
Therefore, I have always been on guard against you everywhere, and even if I use you, I will not reuse it. ”
Hearing Li Ru's confession, Guo Yan rolled his eyes.
He also put his clothes on his body and covered his head and face, and lay down not far from Li Ru.
Then, he said to Li Ru: "Military Master, where did you see that your subordinates are villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
In the past battlefield, when did the subordinates not charge ahead? ”
As they spoke, the other soldiers did the same.
At this moment, there was a "whew", a gust of wind blew, and the surrounding flames gradually moved towards him
We're all over here.
There were a few soldiers lying on the ground, who didn't know what was contaminated with them, and after the flames licked their bodies, in an instant, they transformed into a big ball of fire.
"Ah!!h
"Help!"
After becoming a big ball of fire, they stood up and flapped the flames on their bodies frantically.
However, it didn't work at all, so they could only lie down on the ground and roll on the ground, hoping to extinguish the flames.
However, these flames were like some demon fires, even if they were pressed under them, those flames were still burning, and there was no trace of extinguishing them at all.
In a few moments, the soldiers were charred corpses.
Seeing this, Li Ru pointed to the oily objects on the road to Guo Yan who was not far away, and said, "Have you seen those oils that look like water?"
Don't get involved!
As far as I know, once those things are touched, they can't be extinguished when they are ignited by fire!
At the beginning, when Li Xingzhi was dealing with the yellow scarf, he used these things, which was very terrifying, you must be careful! ”
"Got it." Guo Yan looked at the charred corpses for a while, and then nodded absentmindedly.
Then, he quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and changed the subject: "Strategist, you still tell me why you think I'm a coward." ”
Hearing this, Li Ru glanced thoughtfully at the charred corpse in the distance, and said, "Every time you go to the battlefield, you take a thousand guards with you.
When you were on the battlefield, I never saw you kill a few people yourself.
And, after each campaign, your escort is the one that takes the most damage.
I don't know what you can do to make your guards so loyal.
However, as a general, on the battlefield, you let your guards fight, but you hide among their guards.
In the aftermath, all the credit for them is yours, and this kind of behavior really makes me look down on it! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Guo Yan with complicated eyes.
Through what Guo Yan did today, he found that Guo Yan did not look like a villain.
However, what he did on the battlefield in the past was really disgusting.
Therefore, after he finished speaking, he looked at Guo Yan with inquiring eyes, hoping that Guo Yan could give him a satisfactory answer.
"That's it?" After pursing his lips disdainfully, Guo Yan said, "Those guards are all companions from the same village as me.
When I became a general, I gave the village some money so that they could live a good life.
And, because of me, the county ordinance of the county to which our village belongs exempted our village from taxes.
Therefore, the elders of the village were afraid that something would happen to me, so they sent all these people to my side and asked them to protect my safety with their lives. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Yan sighed with a complicated face: "Because only if I live, our small village can continue to be rich."
Therefore, those who guarded me, for the sake of their own family, blocked all harm for me on the battlefield.
Because of this, as a battlefield general, I didn't kill a few people at all. ”
Hearing this, Li Ru nodded thoughtfully.
Then, he looked at the charred corpses in the distance, sighed, and asked, "Those are your guards, right?" ”
"......" Guo Yan didn't answer when he heard this, but just covered his head with a damp cloth and pressed his head tightly to the ground.
After a while, some traces of water flowed out of the ground under Guo Yan's face......
