Compared with the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound in front of the city wall and the bright fire, the Minjiang River on the northwest side of Chengdu City seems much lonely, with a waning moon, few starlight, only the rustle of the wind blowing the reeds and the sound of the river hitting the shore, which is in stark contrast to the noise in the distance.

Wu Yi stared nervously at the reeds in front of the shoal, he would keep probing his brain to check and understand that behind him, there were five hundred heavily armed Dong Zhuojun, and countless oil jars, when Zhang Song betrayed Jia Long, Dong Zhuojun searched for a large amount of oil from the supply point of the Wudang Fei Army, and did not use it all up when dealing with the Wudang Fei Army, and later after receiving the information from the Southern Barbarian Army and Liu Yanjun, Kang Peng, who knew that the Tengjia soldiers were united, did not dare to use this batch of oil, and would rather take expensive sulfur and fire oil to defend the city. This batch of oil should also be left for the vine armor soldiers.

At the beginning of the hour, the bloody battle in front of the city wall had entered the white heat, and the shouts of killing became more and more deafening, and Wu Yi's troops still did not find any trace of the rattan armor soldiers, Wu Yi couldn't help but secretly panic, could it be that the vine armor soldiers landed on another river bank? If that's the case, it's terrible, in the current Chengdu City, only his own new force of only 500 soldiers, the rest are unarmed civilians, once the rattan armor soldiers successfully enter the city, then Dong Zhuojun's various arrangements will be a failure.

Wu Yi was nervous, a scout crawling in front of the reeds suddenly stood up, tore open the lampshade of the air dead wind lamp in his hand, and shook it at Wu Yi's troops a few times, Wu Yi was overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, five hundred Dong Zhuojun soldiers quickly rushed into the depths of the reeds on the oil altar, splashing the reeds in dense places, and going back and forth several times, until the black oil soaked the land of the reeds, and two hundred Dong Zhuojun soldiers only carried the two hundred altars around the reeds and hid in the woods on both sides of the shallows, and the two hundred soldiers had just hid their bodies, Countless dark shadows appeared on the river beach in front of the reeds.

In order to wade across the Min River, which flows very fast, the rattan armor soldiers are connected with ropes to each other, so as not to be washed away by the current, as the first batch of rattan armor soldiers difficult to go ashore, hand in hand and shoulder dragging, the following rattan armor soldiers will take advantage of the situation to land, less than half an hour, more than 8,000 rattan armor soldiers will all land on the shore, but also tired and exhausted.

After the last vine armor soldier came ashore, the vulture bone breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to order the soldiers to untie the rope, but found that something was not quite right on the ground, reached out and touched the ground, and when he looked back again, he found that his hands were stained with a strange black liquid, slimy, and exuding a pungent smell, the vulture bone hurriedly called Tu'an and asked, "Tu'an, when you came here last night, was there this thing on the ground?" ”

Tuan also found the liquid, and replied honestly: "No, there is a swamp and reeds in front of this, only silt and stagnant water, and there is no black liquid." ”

The vulture bone chuckled in his heart, and was about to investigate again, when someone suddenly shouted in the reeds in front of him, "There is an enemy, go and report to the Taishi!" Immediately afterward, a dozen or so black shadows rushed straight into the city. The vulture didn't dare to worry any longer, and hurriedly shouted: "Come into the city quickly, don't give the enemy a chance to prepare." "The eight thousand vine armor soldiers ran quickly, and they didn't even untie all the ropes tied to their bodies, but cut the ropes with sharp knives as they ran.

As soon as the 8,000 rattan armor soldiers entered the reeds, the 200 Dong Zhuojun who were in ambush in the woods quickly rushed out of the woods and poured the last 200 jars of oil on the shallows, blocking the retreat of the vine armor soldiers. And the vulture bone didn't know at this moment that the army had fallen into a situation of no return, but quickly rushed out of the reeds, but saw the fire in front of him, and the first army blocked the way, and the first general held a torch and shouted: "Vulture bone, I am Wu Yi, the general of the Xiliang Army, you have fallen into the plan of my master, surrender quickly, you can spare you from dying!" ”

The vulture bone was startled at first, but when he saw that there were only 300 Dong Zhuojun soldiers blocking the road, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly and shouted, "Are you an idiot? With your little strength, you also want to deal with our invulnerable vine armor soldiers? ”

Wu Yi smiled slightly, and threw the torch towards the vulture bone, the vulture dodged away, and the torch fell on the reeds behind him, those reeds were doused with oil, and they burned quickly when they encountered fire, and immediately spread, and the vulture bones were frightened, but the three hundred Dong Zhuojun had already thrown the torches to the reeds, and the big reeds immediately turned into a sea of fire.

"Hurry back! Hurry back! The shouts of the vulture bones were heartbreaking, but it was too late, the ropes on the vine armor soldiers were interconnected, and the retreats were crowded with each other, and the reeds were mixed with oil just now, and the flames were mixed and burned, and I saw the flames dancing in the reeds, and the cry shook the heavens and the earth, and the scorching smell was unsmellable. Some of the rattan armor soldiers in the rear team were lucky enough to rush out of the reeds, but they saw that the shallows and water were already on fire, and the radius of more than ten miles was the flames soaring to the sky, and the vine armor soldiers could not throw in all directions, 8,000 people were burned and stretched out their fists and legs, and no one could be spared, and the poor vulture bone was the object of Dong Zhuojun's key care, and it had been buried by successive torches before exiting the reeds, and it was burned alive into a charred corpse.

"Ahh "Help!" "Help, I don't want to die!" Hearing the bitter wail of the vine armor soldiers when they were dying, Wu Yi and the others were also miserable in their hearts, but even if Wu Yi wanted to spare the vine armor soldiers, it was too late, the fire had completely ignited the reeds, and they were all fires ignited by oil, and the water could not be extinguished, Wu Yi had to harden his heart and order: "Notify the Taishi immediately, we have succeeded." ”

In fact, even if Wu Yi didn't send someone to inform Kang Peng, Kang Peng saw the fire here, and knew that his trick had succeeded, so he ordered Jia Xu: "Go and send a signal, let Feng Xian and Zilong do it." Jia Xu hurried down the city wall under the cover of his own soldiers, and in a moment, a few balls of sparks suddenly rose in the city, rose into the air and exploded, turning into several beautiful bright bouquets, and then several similar fireworks also rose in the southeast of Chengdu, which continued to pass away. Although Kang Peng's chemistry was not good enough to make TNT explosives, it was still possible to make fireworks from magnesium powder, which became Dong Zhuojun's unique means of communicating in the dark.

Meng was leading the army to storm the city wall, suddenly saw the fire in the city, and was shocked, if the rattan armor soldiers succeeded, they must be directly impacted by the city gate, and will not ignite a fire that is extremely dangerous to them in the city, and suddenly saw strange fireworks rising in the city, and the heart was even more shocked, at this time, the city suddenly shook with gongs and drums, Dong Zhuojun's shouting and killing was much stronger, and the morale of the Liu Meng coalition army who was impacting the city wall was greatly reduced, and Dong Zhuojun was quickly driven off the city wall, Meng Shu saw that the situation was unclear, and he did not dare to drive the army to attack the city, and the war was temporarily suspended.

Kang Peng's fat body appeared on the city wall under the cover of many personal soldiers holding shields, and Kang Peng laughed and said: "Meng Huo'er, are you looking forward to the vulture bone and your inner and outer integration to break through the Chengdu city wall?" Meng Shu was even more shocked, but he didn't answer, just stared at Kang Peng in the firelight, Kang Peng's fat hand waved, and a charred and deformed corpse was thrown off the city wall, Kang Peng laughed and said: "Meng Shu, this is your love will be a vulture bone, and your true appearance will be merciful, let you collect the body for him." ”

"Vulture bones! O my brother! Meng Huohu's eyes were tearful, and he yelled frantically and wanted to rush up, but he was hugged by the general, and the general shouted, "King, you can't go up, it's within the range of the bow and arrow." ”

At this time, Dong Zhuojun escorted another person to Kang Peng, Meng Shu looked at it from a distance, and it was Zhu Rong, and Zhu Rong's face was pale, unsteady on his feet, obviously he had lost too much blood, Kang Peng laughed and touched Zhu Rong's pale tender face, and said with a lewd smile: "Meng Shu, do you know why the former Japanese minister asked Zhu Rong to talk to you?" ”

Zhu Rong closed her eyes and saw the corpses strewn all over the city, and the Liu Meng coalition army that was so tired that she couldn't stand steadily, she still couldn't understand why the enemy asked her who knew the plan to talk to Meng Xu? Only Meng Shu was still in the middle of nowhere, just shouting, "Why? ”

"It's easy!" Kang Peng laughed and said: "Benxiang's grain and grass in Chengdu is only enough to last for seven days, and the reconstruction of Chengdu can't be delayed any longer, don't let Zhu Rong commit suicide in front of you, will you be in a hurry to fight with Benxiang?" ”

Meng was struck by lightning, and a series of images quickly appeared in his mind, first the banner of the 210,000-strong army covering the sky, then the picture of the self-army falling in pieces, the elephant soldiers being burned in all directions and finally falling miserably, and then the scene of the exhausted soldiers being easily cut down by the energetic enemy, and finally the soldiers who were now standing and dozing.

"Husband, go quickly." Zhu Rong cried out in tears: "I'm sorry for you, I was deceived by the devil, you go back to the south to regroup the army and come back to take revenge, I will repay you by making cattle and horses for you in the next life." ”

"It's late." Kang Peng laughed and made another action to stimulate Meng Shu's nerves - tearing off half of Zhu Rong's shirt, Kang Peng smiled lewdly: "Meng Shu, you can go back to the south, but your wife's true appearance will be accepted." Speaking of this, Kang Peng's fat hand actually reached into Zhu Rong's clothes and rubbed it indiscriminately, causing Dong Zhuojun to laugh lewdly.

Although he knew that Dong Zhuo was deliberately provoking himself again, Meng Shu still couldn't bear it, desperately threw off his generals, ran wildly towards the city wall, and shouted, "Dong Zhuo, you dare to insult my beloved wife, I will fight with you." The Southern Barbarian army behind was so frightened that they hurriedly chased after it, wanting to cover Meng Huo with a shield, but Meng Shu, who was usually slow, was so angry that he burst out of his divine power, and the speed suddenly increased a lot, and the Southern Barbarian Army could catch up.

When Meng Shu rushed to only two hundred steps away from the city wall, there was a sudden bang on the city, and the overwhelming rain of arrows went straight to Meng Huo, Meng Huo dodged there, and in an instant, his whole body was full of feather arrows, but Meng Huo's speed did not decrease at all, and he was still running wildly on the city wall.

"King! King! "Husband!" In the desolate screams of the Southern Barbarian Army and Zhu Rong, Meng Huo, who was full of feather arrows, ran slower and slower, and when he was still more than 100 steps away from the city wall, Meng Huo was already staggering, almost struggling to climb forward step by step. "Husband!" Zhu Rong suddenly screamed, struggled out of Dong Zhuojun's hijacking and Kang Peng's clutches, stumbled away from Dong Zhuojun's encirclement, and regardless of the countless wounds cut by Dong Zhuojun's weapons all over his body, he jumped off the city wall, fortunately, the city wall was already full of corpses, and Zhu Rong made a cushion for Zhu Rong, but Zhu Rong was also covered in blood, but Zhu Rong still dragged a broken left leg and struggled to crawl forward.

In front of the two armies, the armies of both sides couldn't bear to disturb the couple, just stared blankly at Meng Shu, who was full of feather arrows, and Zhu Rong, who was covered in bruises, climbed closer and closer, forty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps, and ......the two climbed on the ground, leaving two bright blood marks, when Meng Shu and Zhu Rong's hands were held together, Meng Shu's ugly face full of blood smiled, and his eyes were closed forever......

"Husband, wait for me." Zhu Rong's pretty face stained with tears and blood showed a bright smile, which was extremely beautiful. With her left hand, she pulled out a feather arrow from Meng Shu's body and inserted it into her heart with her backhand, but her right hand was still holding Meng Shu's big hand......

"King! Madam! The Southern Barbarians wept bitterly and gathered around the two of them. Liu Yan's face was as pale as earth, he gave Dong He a look, took Liu Zhang and went to the southeast, and even the captured Zhuangding and henchmen Qingqiang soldiers didn't care.

Liu Yan and the three of them ran out of less than five miles, and suddenly the sound of hooves shook the sky in front of them, and the black iron horse appeared on the horizon, two big flags were waving in the wind in the formation, and one big flag had four characters written on it, Han Wen Hou Lu! On the other big flag, there are five characters written on it, Hanshou Pavilion Hou Zhao!
