Chapter 959: Flames Stop the Enemy

On the other side, west of the city.

When Zhao Ju was commanding the army to fight fiercely with the Han army, the deputy general Huang Jun hurriedly came to report: "Ling Yin, it's not good, there is a sudden fire in the east of the city." โ€

When Zhao Ju heard this, he looked back, and sure enough, the fire and smoke from the east were rising into the sky.

Looking at the fire in the east, Zhao Ju's heart trembled slightly, this is the back hand he left after breaking the city, and now that the east is on fire, the east city must have been breached.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju immediately ordered: "Huang Jun, quickly, immediately send someone to the arsenal and granary in the city, and burn these two places all." โ€

"Ling Yin, this... Isn't this too hasty, maybe it's just an accidental fire, even if the eastern city is broken, maybe we can still drive the enemy away..."

Before Huang Jun finished speaking, Zhao Ju interrupted: "There is no need to wait, there is such a fire in the city suddenly, it must be put by Zhao Ying, the defender of the east, since he set the fire, it must be that the east is broken."

My 300,000 Chu army to deal with the 700,000 five-nation coalition army, the only thing that can be relied on is the city wall, and now that the city wall has been lost, if we don't make a decision at this time, I am afraid that all of our 300,000 will die here. โ€

Saying that, Zhao Ju saw that Huang Jun was still entangled, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted: "Don't send someone soon." โ€

"No."

Huang Jun nodded, gritted his teeth and pointed out two partial generals, asking them to each lead a team of people to set fire.

At this time, Zhao Ju commanded again: "Huang Jun, the city has been broken, you can't hold it, you immediately go to the city to prepare for the reserve army and the rest of the army to retreat, withdraw from the south, go to Yingshui, this will be cut off for you." โ€

When Huang Jun heard this, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Ling Yin, the last general is willing to break off." โ€

Zhao Ju glared at him angrily: "The king entrusted Chen Cheng to me, but the general did not complete the king's entrustment, lost Chen Cheng, and the Jianghuai portal was opened. At this moment, do you think that Ben will still have the face to go first? โ€

"Ling Yin..." Huang Jun still wants to persuade again.

Zhao Ju shouted violently: "Get out." โ€

"No."

As soon as Huang Jun left, Zhao Ju immediately said: "Someone come, send an order to Xiang Jun, let him open the south gate, let the defeated army out of the city, guide the defeated army to flee to Yingshui, and let him immediately lead the army out of the city and line up ten miles outside the city in case of accidents." โ€

"No."

"Send an order to Yin Jun, tell that the East City has been broken, immediately prepare to burn the North City, prepare to retreat, and retreat to Yingshui."

"No."

"I will order all trebuchets to stop projecting at once, and have the soldiers who operate the trebuchets remove the trebuchets immediately, and then gather the trebuchets in one place, pile them in a row, and then pour fire oil on them, and prepare to set fire to the enemy."

"No."

"The rest of the soldiers will continue to intercept the South Korean army with Ben."

"No."

Just when the Chu army in the west was urgently carrying the trebuchet, in the east, the Qi-Wei coalition army had already cleared the Chu army on the eastern city wall.

At this time, Kuang Zhang stood on the city wall, watching the main force of the Qi and Wei coalition forces blocked by the fire, and it was difficult to enter the city.

Then, Kuang Zhang saw from a distance that a large number of fires began to emerge from the center of Chen Cheng, seeing this, Kuang Zhang's heart sank: "Set fire to block the enemy, it seems that Zhaoju has already prepared." No, it's not good, Zhao Ju is going to run. โ€

Saying that, Kuang Zhang saw that the fire in the city was difficult to extinguish in a short time, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, let the army behind immediately stop entering the city, turn to the south, assist the Qin army, and chase and kill the Chu people." โ€

"No."

With Kuang Zhang's order, the army that was swarming towards the city outside the city suddenly stopped, and then under the shout of the general, it began to reorganize the team, preparing to turn around and go to the south of the city.

It's just that at this time, the alliance forces of the Qi, Wei and Song Kingdoms have long been mixed together and mixed with each other because of the previous siege, and it is not easy to reorganize the team.

The alliance of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song is still rectifying the army, on the other side, west of the city.

"Ling Yin, the trebuchets in the city have been gathered and poured with fire oil."

"Good!" Zhao Ju's heart was relieved, he looked at the Han army who was still attacking the city wall, and said to Song Huang, the doorman on his side: "Sir, you are responsible for the break, you only need to stop the enemy for a while, and when the fire in the city starts, you can lead your troops to surrender to the Korean army." In the future, this gentleman will redeem Mr. with a large amount of money. โ€

"Please leave quickly, and the minister is willing to cut off the queen for you."

"Okay." Zhao Ju nodded, then turned and left.

Soon, after the army passed through the wooden pile a hundred paces away from the city wall, Zhao Ju listened to the continuous screams on the city wall, and couldn't help but show sadness, and sighed secretly: "Set fire." โ€

"No."

Immediately, a wall of fire quickly appeared behind the army.

Soon, the Korean army invaded the city, and when they saw the raging fire in the city, they could only look at the fire and sigh.

On the other side, fifteen miles south of the city, the Qin army was in ambush.

"Report to General Sima, the coalition army has broken through Chencheng, and now the Chu army is planning to flee from the south, General Zhang Zi asks the general to send troops to intercept it quickly."

"Got it."

"Report to the general, there is a fire in Chen Cheng..."

"Report to the general, the south gate of Chencheng is open, and the Chu general Xiang Jun leads the army out of the city."

"How is the position of the Chu army?"

"Xiang Jun's lineup is rigorous, and there is no chaos at all."

"Hmmm! Got it. โ€

"Report to the general, the defeated army of Chu is out of the city, and it is fleeing south in a panic."

"Revisit."

"No."

"General, a large number of Chu troops are coming out of the south gate under the banner of Huang Jun."

"How is the formation of the Chu army out of the city?"

"The army is in order, and there is no chaos."

โ€œยทยทยทโ€

"General, the Chu general Xiang Jun's headquarters stopped ten miles from the south gate and was preparing for battle. The defeated army of Chu continued to flee south. โ€

"Huh." Sima Cuo was showing a look of surprise.

At this time, another scout came to report: "General, I just found the banner of Yin Zhaoju of the Chu State Order at the south gate of Chencheng, and Zhaoju led the defeated army out of the city." โ€

Sima Cuo was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How is the lineup of Zhao Ju's department?" โ€

"The lineup is still intact, and there is no confusion."

Sima Cuo frowned when he heard this, and sighed secretly: "Chu Xiangzhao Ju is worthy of being a famous general of the Chu State, and he can still maintain the army lineup after suffering such a big defeat. โ€

As he spoke, Sima mistakenly remembered King Qin's entrustment that the next battle would be the siege of Chu and Hanbei by the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han. In order to alleviate the pressure of the next attack on Chu, this battle must only eliminate the main force of the Chu army in Chen Cheng as much as possible, especially the elite of Yingdu led by Zhao Ju.

It's just that at the moment, the lineup of the Chu army is still neat, and he is rashly intercepting the fleeing army of the Chu State now, which must be a vicious battle, and in the end, even if he can stop the Chu army, I am afraid that his own casualties will not be light.

So, how can he be, he is more inclined to cover up the kill.

However, when he thought of the Chu State Sailor above Yingshui, he couldn't help frowning. If the Chu army is not stopped now, and when the Chu army runs to Yingshui and is picked up by the Chu State Water Division, then most of Chen Cheng's defeated army will inevitably flee.

Therefore, although he was unwilling in his heart, he also had to intercept the Chu army.

Thinking about it, Sima was mistaken, and immediately shouted: "Order, immediately send someone to invite the army of the four countries to come to help, and strangle the Chu army together with our Qin army, and be sure to strangle the Chu army in the north of Yingshui." โ€

"No."

"Order, the army will attack, intercept the Chu army, and don't let the Chu army go."

"No."

As the drums of war sounded, the Qin army quickly charged forward.
