The fire on the road rose to the sky, and hundreds of people were crowded on it, unable to advance or retreat, and all let out a desperate howl. The person in front of him was stained with fire oil, and the flames on his body could not be extinguished at all, and he bumped into him with flames all over his body. The defenders on Nangong's side did not dare to stop it, and they avoided it one after another.

Humanoid torches screamed and danced their arms over the city, their eyeballs burned out and their faces charred black, leaving a burning footprint on the ground with every step they took. Some of the soldiers could not stand this terrible situation, and stepped forward with spears and stabbed to death the heavy infantry that rushed towards them.

The tower on the Xuanwu Gate had turned into a raging fire, and his hair was curled by the heat wave after more than ten steps. The heavy infantry did not dare to step forward, and tried to retreat but were blocked, and many of their clothes were set on fire, and in severe pain, they crashed through the guardrail, jumped off the road, and then fell into meatloaf.

The wood at the junction of the compound road and the city tower was secretly sawed off by Chen Cheng, and at this time, it was poured with oil and burned for less than a minute, and the bridge deck was broken. There were more than 100 people on the road who did not exit, and fell to the ground along with the falling bridge deck.

Many of the fallen soldiers were not dead, crawling out of the pile of burning corpses, letting out an inhuman howl. The smell of roasted meat emanated from the huge pile of corpses, but it made everyone around them want to vomit in disgust. Seeing such a curious scene, the morale of the attackers was greatly reduced, and the morale of the defenders was also reduced a lot, and from time to time some soldiers secretly looked at Chen Cheng with frightened eyes, as if their general was not a human, but an evil demon in human skin.

The human body on the ground was burned, and the grease flowed out, making the flames burn even more violently. At some point, the screams in the pile of corpses died down, the armor and weapons burned red, the wooden shafts of the arrows burned out, and the arrowheads turned a dark red color. The oil and human fat were not enough to sustain the long burn, and before long, the flames gradually died out under the watchful eyes of the soldiers on both sides.

The smell of barbecue was still wafting in the air, and the soldiers of the infantry battalion looked at each other in silence, with a look of fear and disgust on their faces, and had no intention of attacking again. The infantry captain looked back and knew that it was not easy to attack today, so he turned around and entered the North Palace to find the general to return to his life.

He Jin didn't care about the attack being frustrated again, and after appeasing the infantry captain for a few words, he sat in the White Tiger Temple, waiting for news from the other three city gates. While waiting, news suddenly came from outside the city that Feng Shu personally led his troops to attack Jian Shuo's department, but Jian Shuo led his troops to counterattack, so that the soldiers were defeated and killed.

"How is this possible?"

Tai Lieutenant Ma Riyan immediately straightened up and said fiercely: "Jian Shuo's soldiers are outnumbered, how can he kill Feng Shu?" Feng Shu is a cavalry captain, and his command is all cavalry, how could he attack the camp? ”

He Jin glanced at Ma Riyan and said, "There are many doubts in this matter, but the top priority is not this, Tai Lieutenant and sit in peace." ”

He turned his head and asked, "How is the battle in the West Garden?" ”

The herald lowered his head and said, "Jian Shuo led his troops to defeat Captain Feng's soldiers and horses, gathered some of the defeated troops of the Xiyuan Army, and is attacking Yongmen. ”

He Jin stood up, looked around at everyone in the hall, and sneered: "I don't think this eunuch has such a ability!" Where is the captain of the city gate? ”

Wu Qiong came out and said: "Zhu Jun, the captain of the city gate, was reappointed as Henan Yin, and now he is not in Luoyang. ”

Wu Qiongzi Deyu was also recruited into Beijing by He Jin, and was kind to He Hao, Xun You and others.

He Jin's face softened slightly, and said, "Since the captain of the city gate is vacant, Deyu should temporarily replace him." ”

The captain of the city gate is an official position alongside the commander of the Northern Army and the marquis of the Northern Army, and his position is high and powerful, comparable to the Admiral of the Nine Gates in later generations. Wu Qiong knocked on the leader's order and said, "No! ”

He Jin said: "Without further ado, Deyu immediately went to the Taiwei Mansion to transfer troops and take care of the twelve gates of Luoyang City. ”

Wu Qiong retreated, and another soldier came forward and said, "General, I often order people to report: the arsenal is occupied by thieves!" ”

"Humph!" He Jin said dissatisfiedly: "The southern army is becoming more and more disagreeable, and it can actually be occupied by a few chaotic people!" ”

There was a look of embarrassment on the face of the soldiers, and He Jin saw it and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

"General Qiqi," the pro-soldier said to the scalp, "it is not the rebels who occupy the arsenal, but the Yue cavalry." It is said that Juluhou took out the money from the arsenal, rewarded the three armies, and recruited hundreds of rangers and scoundrels in the city, and it was because of this that Chong Taichang was blocked from the door. ”

"..........", He Jin was silent for a while, his eyes swept in the hall, and fell on the general Zhang Zhang, "General Zhang immediately led 5,000 infantry and 2,000 shooters to seize the arsenal!" ”

Zhang Zhang came out of the queue and paused: "No! ”

There are a total of twelve city gates in Luoyang City, Yongmen is one of them, not far from the Yongmen, is the White Horse Temple built by Emperor Ming himself. After Jian Shuo killed Feng Shu, he gathered the rout of each department while sending troops to attack Yongmen, and set up his banner in the White Horse Temple.

Seeing these many soldiers and horses rushing in, the big monks and small monks in the temple turned white with fright, and they fought for a long time, the blood stains on their bodies were not dry, and they didn't have the heart to deal with these bald monks, so they let them tremble in the corner. He ordered the soldiers to bulldoze the eighteen statues of the Arhats on the left and right, clear a large open space, and then pull up the curtain and use it as his own Chinese army tent.

Jian Shuo's original sword had been broken in the battle, and he replaced it with a ring-headed sword, and at this time he was sitting on the horse with the ring-head knife in both hands, resting with his eyes closed.

"Report!"

A soldier of the Xiyuan Army rushed over, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Zuo Sima has captured Yongmen!" ”

Jian Shuo opened his eyes suddenly, stood up with "Huo", and said in a loud voice: "Shuai Qi immediately move forward!" ”

He drew his ring-headed knife. Pointing to the east, he shouted with all his might: "The enemy is in Luoyang!" ”

With that, he rushed out with his guards, leaving the messy White Horse Temple behind. Seeing that this group of soldiers was gone, the monks in the temple were all relieved. There was a white and fat monk who put his palms together and said with kind eyebrows: "Good, good, fortunately thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, a catastrophe in the temple was avoided!" ”

The other monks spoke in agreement, and suddenly a small monk ran in in a panic and said loudly: "Oh no! ”

Everyone hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The little monk hurriedly said: "I just walked one, and now another one is here!" ”

On the road, the army holding high the banner of the word "Yan" rolled along the official road. In the army, Yuan Shao also fell in love with the White Horse Temple at a glance and said: "Set up the big tent of the Chinese army here!" ”

Yan Liang bowed his head and said, "The lord will wait a while, and a certain family will go to arrange it." ”

Seeing the wolf at the front door and the tiger at the back door, all the monks were in tears, and one of them knelt in front of the Buddha statue and wept: "This is really the catastrophe of the end of the law!" The pure land of Buddhism has turned into a Shura field! Buddha, if you have a spirit, send down your supernatural powers and take away all these evil obstacles! ”

Outside, the armor leaves rang out, and Yan Liang strode in and shouted, "The army is going to be stationed here, why don't you bald donkeys come out to greet you soon?" ”

The monks hurriedly collected their tears and greeted them respectfully. The old monk said: "The general is mighty, but he needs someone to serve?" ”

Yan Liang said: "En? ”

He is a general in the army, and he is murderous when he stares at him. The old monk's heart jumped, and he hurriedly pointed to the side and said, "This little monk has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and is empathetic, just to warm the general's feet." ”

“..........”

Seeing Yan Liang's black face, the old monk became more and more flustered in his heart, and said in his heart: "Could it be that this general doesn't like the little monk?" ”

He was a little embarrassed, he was old, and the general in front of him was so majestic, he was afraid that he couldn't bear it. Seeing that Yan Liang's face was becoming more and more ugly, the old monk turned his heart sideways and said, "If the general doesn't dislike ......."

Yan Liang's black face was full of disgust, but he said again: "Pick two smart and clever ones!" ”

The old monk breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was a little stunned, and he didn't know whether he wanted to or didn't want to.

Yuan Shao sat down in the cleaned up White Horse Temple, and said to Cao Cao who rushed over: "Meng De doesn't need to worry, that Jian Shuo is just a trapped beast fighting." Even if he rushed into the city, what could he do if he was defeated by three or four thousand remnants? ”

Before Cao Cao could speak, two young monks with clear eyebrows walked in, they broke the tea cakes, put them in the porcelain cup, and then rushed into the boiling water, and the aroma suddenly came out. The little monk served tea, then knelt beside the two of them and said, "General, please use tea." ”

Yuan Shao picked up the porcelain cup, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Good tea." ”

He is a son of a family, even before he passed on to Yuan Cheng, he lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, and naturally knew how to distinguish the quality of tea. Yuan Shao smiled and said to Cao Cao: "With such fragrant tea in front, why do you say those words that spoil the scenery?" Mengde, please! ”

Cao Cao was blocked by him, and picked up the porcelain cup depressedly, only to feel that his hand was soft, obviously high-quality porcelain. The tea cakes in the cup are brewed, exuding a faint fragrance, which is also the best quality that cannot be found in non-luxury homes. Although Cao Cao had a father who was a big official, his ass sat a little crooked, and he blurted out: "I don't mean the temple is so rich!" ”

The old monk who had just walked in turned pale and defended: "It was two nobles who came to the door, and this is why we used the tea that has been treasured for a long time, and we are usually reluctant." ”

Yuan Shao smiled: "Oh, do you know who we are? ”

The old monk clasped his palms together and said respectfully: "The two generals are famous, who in the world doesn't know them?" ”

Cao Cao lowered his face and said, "Since you know who we are, why don't you hurry up and retreat?" ”

The old monk showed a decent but embarrassed smile on his face and silently stepped back. Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said, "You guys go out too!" ”

The two little monks were stunned for a moment, then stood up aggrievedly and retreated with the big monk.

When there was no one in the hall, Cao Cao asked in a low voice: "Originally, there were only two of us here, and what we said came out of your mouth and into my ears." Let me ask you, was it at your instigation that Feng Shu, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, was killed? ”

Yuan Shao picked up the teacup, looked at Cao Cao playfully, and said, "What is Meng De talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”

Cao Cao sighed and said, "I know." ”
