Chapter 683: In Distress
Smoke billowed from inside the arsenal, reaching into the sky, almost obscuring half of the sky.
Sima Yi looked outside, his face was suddenly more ugly than swallowing a fly, he was really afraid of something, Sima Yi was most worried about Cao Liang destroying the arsenal, so that even if he captured the arsenal and killed Cao Liang, the result was still a bamboo basket.
This Sima Yi really has no way at all, after all, the control of the arsenal is now in Cao Liang's hands, whether it is said that he jumps over the wall in a hurry, or that he burns all the jade, as long as Cao Liang is willing, he can easily destroy the arsenal.
Therefore, Sima Yi had to launch a fast attack at all costs, hoping that before Cao Liang had the idea of destruction, the black-clothed dead man could take down the arsenal.
It's a pity that in the end, it's still a step too late, Cao Liang, this little thief, is really ruthless, and he doesn't give Sima Yi half a chance at all, and now all the weapons in the arsenal have been burned, Sima Yi worked hard but ended up empty-handed, which can't help but make him angry.
Jia Chong saw it, saw that Sima Yi's face was not good, and knew that he was distressed about the things in the arsenal, so he ordered the black-clothed dead man to launch another round of strong attack, and he must take the arsenal as soon as possible.
At this moment, Cao Liang is already unintentionally in love with the war, anyway, the arsenal has been ignited, according to the current fire-fighting methods, if you want to extinguish such a fire, try to ascend to the sky, so Cao Liang continues to stay in the arsenal There is no point, so Cao Liang ordered everyone to retreat.
It stands to reason that there is only one way to enter the arsenal in front of Cao Shuang's door, and now Cao Liang wants to retreat, but Sima Yi's private army is blocked there, how is this good?
In fact, it is true that there is only one way to enter the arsenal, but when retreating, there is another way, Cao Liang stepped on the point in advance, and also arranged the retreat route, so he dared to burn the arsenal so boldly and then slip away.
The walls of the arsenal are tall and large, much higher than the surrounding buildings, the gate of the arsenal faces south, and beyond the section of the wall to the north is an area inhabited by the poor, although the road is relatively narrow, but there is a road to the Great Xia Gate.
Cao Liang's plan was to hang a dozen ropes on the north wall so that they could jump off the wall along the ropes, withdraw from the slums to the north, and then rush to the Great Xia Gate to join Fang Bu's team.
Once the retreat of the Cao family's soldiers begins, the strength to defend the southern wall will be much weaker, and at this time, it will be difficult to block the attack of the black-clothed dead soldiers.
Cao Liang was the last to withdraw, and they fought and retreated, retreating from the south wall, along the western wall, to the northern breakthrough site.
The black tide of soldiers quickly filled the void left by the retreat of the Cao family's soldiers, and they took control of the southern wall and opened the gates of the arsenal.
At this time, the fire of the arsenal had already burned, and Sima Yi saw the raging fire engulfing the roof of the warehouse, and the thick smoke covered the sky.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Sima Yi shouted desperately, now he can't take care of much, and send people to hurry up to put out the fire, these weapons and equipment, how many can be snatched up.
Jia Chong's eyes were sharp, and he watched Cao Liang run towards the north wall, and immediately shouted: "Sima Taifu, Cao Liang wants to escape!" ”
In fact, Sima Yi is very entangled now, if he goes to fight the fire, he will definitely not have the strength to pursue Cao Liang, but if Cao Liang is allowed to escape like this, he is very unwilling.
At this time, Jia Chong volunteered: "Taifu stays in the arsenal to preside over the overall situation, and Cao Liang, the thief, will be handed over to the lowly subordinates." ”
Sima Yi nodded, and immediately dialed two hundred dead soldiers to Jia Chong, asking him to go after Cao Liang, and the rest of the people went all out to fight the fire.
When Cao Liang guarded the arsenal, the guards of the arsenal could not be counted on, and when Cao Liang retreated, he naturally ignored them, and these guards surrendered as soon as Sima Jiajun entered the arsenal.
"Where are Fang Ren and Yang Ze?" Sima Yi grimaced and guarded the armor.
At this time, someone remembered that Fang Ren and Yang Ze were still locked up in the house next to them, although the fire had not burned yet, it was not too close, and the fire had already spread to them.
Fang Ren and Yang Ze were locked in the house, but they could now feel that the fire was about to burn, but they were tied up and couldn't get out, so they had to shout for help.
The arsenal soldiers wanted to rescue him, but Sima Yi stretched his face and ordered: "These two useless wastes deserve to die, you guys, you don't have to save him, hurry up and save the fire in the arsenal." ”
The soldiers resignedly agreed, not daring to save Fang Ren and Yang Ze again, and instead were ordered to save the fire in the warehouse.
The fire spread extremely quickly, and Fang Ren and Yang Ze's side were quickly engulfed in flames, and there was a howl like killing a pig coming from inside, but it soon fell silent.
After Jia Chong led two hundred black-clothed dead soldiers to chase after the north wall, he watched Cao Liang and others jump down the rope, Jia Chong immediately led people over, and those black-clothed dead soldiers had almost no extra movements, along the rope left by the Cao family soldiers, they flew off the high wall, and chased after the Cao family soldiers.
The slums outside the arsenal are all dilapidated houses, and most of the people living here are displaced people from other places, and it is difficult for the government to control them more, and the displaced people build them privately, squeezing the streets that are not too wide, and the whole passage is crowded and narrow, which brings a lot of difficulties to the retreat of the Cao family soldiers.
With so many people gathered together, it was difficult to escape, so Cao Liang could only order it to be broken into pieces, flee for their lives, and meet again at the Great Xia Gate.
Jia Chong stared at Cao Liang, he knew that Sima Yi hated Cao Liang very much, if he could capture Cao Liang alive or behead him, it would definitely be a great achievement, he didn't care about all the others, and ordered the black-clothed dead man to chase after him and never let Cao Liang go.
Cao Liang didn't have a top master like Fang Bu by his side, and the ability of the guards was reduced a lot, and these black-clothed dead soldiers were all extraordinary, and their speed was amazingly fast, Cao Liang ran around, lost several guards, and did not get rid of the pursuit of the black-clothed dead, but he was unscrupulous and was chased by the black-clothed dead soldiers into a dead end.
Cao Liang was shocked, turned his head and stood with his sword in his hand, ready to fight with these black-clothed dead soldiers.
Jia Chong smirked and said, "Cao Liang, where are you still running this time?" Give it to me, if you catch it alive, there will be a big reward on Mrs. Sima's side! ”
