"Ahem", the flames burned bigger and bigger, and the north wind blew, enveloping the arsenal as well. Fire and water are ruthless, even if there are several wells in the arsenal, how can they resist the power of Zhu Rong's rage? Smoke was blown by the wind, mixed with black particles of high temperature. Many of the soldiers guarding the wall were smoked down, and the rest of the people did not dare to stand on it anymore and withdrew.

The attacking soldiers outside had already run away, Wei Li covered his mouth and nose with wet clothes, rushed to Yan Zhong's side, and said loudly: "The fire is too big, we must also withdraw first!" ”

There were flames on all sides, and the arsenal was like a giant oven. Although the fire had not yet started, the armor on the soldiers' bodies had already become hot, and if it were not for the support of a few wells, I am afraid that someone would have been roasted. Horses are more delicate than men, and soldiers can support them, but the horses are so frightened that they keep jumping and neighing in place.

Seeing that the flames outside were getting brighter and brighter, Yan Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't keep it, call everyone to come with me!" ”

The gate had been smashed open, and the car was still parked at the door, but the attacking soldiers were nowhere to be seen. Yan Zhong ordered someone to push away the equipment at the door, clear a road, and then rushed out first.

On horseback, Wei Li shouted loudly, "Which way are we going?" ”

Yan Zhong looked up at the fire in the sky, reined in the war horse, pointed to the west with his halberd, and said, "Let's go to the North Palace!" ”

"What?"

Wei Li knew that Yan Zhong was bold, but he didn't know that he would take risks at this time, "We only have such a few people, isn't it looking for death to attack Beigong?" ”

Yan Zhong shouted on the horse: "What is the fear of the death of the eldest husband? Now is the time to make great achievements, as long as you work hard, the prince of all generations! ”

The soldiers behind him were unstable and ready to move because they were roasted by the fire, and they were all about to be roasted.

Seeing that the soldiers' mood was still very unstable, Yan Zhong immediately changed his words and shouted loudly: "There are too many people in the north and east, the city gates are blocked, and there is also a fire in the south, only by going to the west can you survive!" ”

This time, everyone understood, and the agitation in the queue immediately became much less. Yan Zhong didn't dare to wait any longer, the ghost knew if these people would suddenly collapse. He smacked hard on the horse's buttocks, and ran in the direction of Beigong first. Wei Li hesitated for a moment, then beat his horse to follow.

Ran out of two streets, and the fire still didn't stop. In the smoke and firelight, a palace collapsed in the distance, and several screams were heard. The army that was heading west was startled by the loud bang, and the queue suddenly became chaotic.

Wei Li couldn't help but look back, and it was a side hall in Yong'an Palace that collapsed. He swallowed hard, turned his head, and saw hundreds of infantry battalion soldiers rushing towards this side on the street not far ahead, and he said in horror: "Changshi, there is an enemy ahead!" ”

Yan Zhong said loudly: "There is a fire in the back, and only by moving forward can you live!" ”

He stood up in one stirrup, blushing and shouting, "Rush over!" ”

More than 1,000 people and horses mixed with foot horses were dizzy from the fire, and when they heard this, they immediately roared and rushed forward. Although the hundreds of light men mixed in the team wanted to run away, the flames behind them became more and more vigorous, so they could only pull out their long swords and fight forward.

Coming was a sergeant from the infantry battalion of the Northern Army, who He Jin sent to support Zhang Zhang when he saw the fire in the northeast. Seeing the fire in front of him, he was already puzzled and frightened, and was desperately rushed by Wei Li and his people, and suddenly collapsed and fled around.

Rushing away the enemy army, Yan Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back, nearly half of the soldiers had dispersed, and all the light men who were attracted by the money had run away, and the joy in his heart suddenly dissipated.

"Report!"

A herald rushed in, knelt down at the foot of the hall, and said loudly: "The rebels set fire to the palace, and then took the opportunity to kill, General Zhang's troops and horses have been defeated, and the thieves are killing towards the North Palace!" ”

He Jin looked up at the fire in the east, a little shocked in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's just a poor mouse eating a cat, don't worry." ”

Before the words fell, another herald rushed in, knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly: "Jian Shuo has broken through the Yongmen Gate and is killing here!" ”

The muscles on He Jin's face trembled, pretended to be calm, and said, "I have already sent Wu Qiong to the Taiwei Mansion to transfer troops, and I will definitely be able to block the eunuchs!" ”

"Report!"

A herald appeared in the hall again, He Jin glared at him and shouted, "What's the matter? ”

The herald knelt on the ground and said, "The White Tiger Gate of Nangong is wide open, the enemy army has come out from inside, and General Wu's soldiers and horses have been caught in a bitter battle by the thieves before and after!" ”

"What?" He Jin was shocked and angry, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Chen Wenzheng, a traitor!" ”

"Smack", Ma Riyan slapped his palm on the desk and shouted: "Immediately block the four doors!" ”

When he saw a fire burning in the northeast of Luoyang, and saw a battle going on near Yongmen in the west, Chen Cheng keenly sensed the opportunity to turn the tables. He immediately descended the city wall and ordered all the cavalry that could be drawn out to assemble near the White Tiger Gate.

The tun chief beside him reminded: "General, could it be a trick of the rebels?" ”

Both sides of the war now refer to each other as rebels, which is a common occurrence in civil wars.

"Hey," Chen Cheng usually thinks a lot, but when it comes to the critical moment, he acts faster than he thinks, and he laughs and said: "If He Jin is really so bold and willing to deceive me at the cost of burning half of Luoyang City, then even if he is deceived, why not?" ”

In front of the eight hundred cavalry that had been hastily assembled, Chen Cheng rode back and forth on a fiery war horse, and said in a loud voice: "When the matter comes, you must be bold!" Win or lose, in this battle, you work hard! ”

With that, he turned his horse's head and shouted at the city, "Open the door!" ”

With the sound of "creaking", the vermilion copper-clad door was opened, and Chen Cheng rushed out first. Without waiting for all the cavalry behind him to follow, he took the lead in running towards the place of battle. Baihumen was not far from Yongmen, and when he arrived, thousands of soldiers were huddled in the wide streets fighting fiercely.

The equipment of the Xiyuan Army and the soldiers on the other side is very similar, whether it is armor, weapons, or even the tactics used, it seems to come out of a mold. The only thing that can distinguish them is the flags of both sides. He watched his horse for a moment, distinguishing between friend and foe, and then immediately swung his spear and struck.

Under the banner with white characters on a yellow background, Jian Shuo was riding on the back of a war horse, holding a halberd, and was shouting for a fierce battle. He was pressed in the camp and beaten for a whole day, and finally took the opportunity to kill Feng Shu, so he immediately pressed the whole army and attacked Luoyang City. Such a desperate gamble is not that he has any certainty of victory, but that he has decided to die in Luoyang City.

He is the emperor's trusted servant, and if he leaves Luoyang, where can he hide? Without the Son of Heaven to rely on, a pavilion chief can arrest him. Even if he is excellent in martial arts and brave..... Well, compared to an inhuman monster like Chen Cheng, he didn't dare to say that his strength was unparalleled..... How many people can you beat?

Instead of being killed by a nameless in embarrassment, it is better to die in a vigorous battle!

With this belief, he ignored the arrows whistling in his ears, and kept moving the banner forward, relying on fewer troops to fight twice as many enemies. But he also knew that this situation would not last long, and his soldiers only relied on a moment of blood and courage to fight, and when this breath dissipated, it was time for the soldiers to be defeated and killed.

Looking at the fire that rose to the sky in the east, Jian Shuo was ready to commit suicide.

However, while the soldiers on both sides were fighting hard, the enemy's banner suddenly shook, and then fell.

Chen Cheng split through the crowd, rushed to the vicinity of Wu Qiong, picked up two enemies guarding the banner, and drew the "Seven Star Treasure Knife" to cut down the banner. Wu Qiong was furious and raised a sword to cut Chen Cheng, but was picked off the horse by a shot.

Like a flaming war horse, Chen Cheng raised his arms and shouted: "The enemy general has been killed by my Chen Cheng!" ”

The enemy, who was originally surging in blood and fighting without heels, saw that the flag was cut down, and his morale immediately dropped to the freezing point. They broke away from the battle line, ignoring the shouts of the officers, and dragged their blades to the rear. Although the cavalry trampled back and forth on the streets, the streets in Luoyang City were extremely wide, and there were still places for them to escape.

Jian Shuo saw the scene of Chen Cheng cutting the flag and was stunned for a while, and then commanded the soldiers to rush over. The two sides converged, the war horses circled each other, and Chen Cheng asked, "Can the captain still fight?" ”

Jian Shuo's chest was still aching, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" ”

Chen Cheng pointed to the smoke and fire in the northeast direction, and said, "Now that there is chaos in the city, do you dare to follow me to kill He Jin?" ”

Jian Shuo glared angrily and shouted, "Why don't you dare? ”

Chen Cheng laughed and said; "Then follow me!"

He led the Yue cavalry to follow behind the retreating enemy army, and while shooting one of the people behind with arrows, he drove the enemy in the direction of Beigong. When they arrived near the North Palace, the city gate had already been closed, and the defeated soldiers gathered under the city wall and cursed. When Chen Cheng saw it, he tried to hit his horse and stepped forward, shooting an arrow at the city.

One of the routs was shot in the back and screamed. There was a sound of bangs on the head of the city, the bow and crossbow were shot down on the head and face, and the arrows fell densely around him, Chen Cheng was hit by a few arrows, and he didn't dare to stay under the city anymore, so he retreated.

He pulled out the arrows on his body, and said to Jian Shuo with a smile: "There are still many heroes in the Northern Army, but I don't know if they dare to fight with me." ”

Jian Shuo looked at the North Palace with the palace gate closed, and the armored soldiers all over the city wall, his face was full of bitterness, he sighed, and said, "It's already a blessing to be able to kill here, where can I hope for more?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "If you can't kill him today, you may not be able to do it next time." ”

Jian Shuo smiled bitterly and said: "Juluhou, I can clearly see in the big camp that there are more and more enemy troops, and there are no less than 5,000 people on the west avenue alone. What about us? If you die, you will lose one. ”

He looked back at almost all of his wounded subordinates and sighed, "Why add more casualties? ”

Chen Cheng frowned and shouted, "What did the captain say?" Your Majesty is interested in Dong Hou, and you also know it! ”

"Ignore the mortuary and attack each other with armor. If His Majesty is still alive, how can he bear to see Luoyang City become a battlefield? Jian Shuo said tiredly: "I have tried my best, even if I see Your Majesty, I can be worthy of my heart." ”

As he was talking, he saw a cavalryman of the Xiyuan Army running over on horseback, and anxiously shouted to Jian Shuo: "Marshal, the traitor Yuan Shao has led his troops into the city!" ”
