The marching strategy has been decided, from the Yanshi westward, along the Luohe River, into the Qinling Mountains, and then north, across the northern part of the Qinling Mountains, into the Weihe River Valley, and then south, into Luoyang.

Ma Chao had not started a complete state of rapid march before, but now with full firepower, he was speeding all the way and quickly approaching the Luohe River Valley.

"Be careful!"

As soon as I entered the Luo River Basin, I suddenly noticed that there were bursts of heat in the air, as if someone was turning on a hot air conditioner for me.

As soon as Ma Chao looked up, he saw that above the sky, the original white clouds had all turned crimson, like burning clouds.

"What's going on with the sky?"

The soldiers were stunned, such a peculiar natural landscape has only been seen in their lives.

However, the next moment, the sky suddenly darkened, the crimson clouds suddenly turned extremely scarlet, and waves of hot wind rose into the sky and swept in.

"Ritsu... Lil..."

Sensing the mortal danger, the horses threw their heads up and neighed, trying to flee from the place, but the knights tried to hold on to the reins, but could only barely hold the horses and prevent them from running away.

"Look inside the Luo River!"

Cooing sounds came out of the river, foam tumbling out, and then bursting one by one, as if something lurked in the depths of the river.

The hot wind swept, the strong wind blew, the power gradually increased, and finally overturned several war horses, the war horses shook suddenly, and began to scatter and flee, the knights couldn't pull the war horses at all, and even many soldiers were thrown off by the awakened wild war horses and fell to the ground.

"Get out of here first!"

Ma Chao turned the horse's head and was about to lead the army to leave, at this time, Luoyang was up and down, and the heat waves were rolling endlessly, and a wave was actually formed, rushing and roaring towards the coast.

"Run!"

The cavalry watched as a frenzy of heat unleashed behind them, just a few miles away from engulfing everyone.

They frantically threw the reins in order to make their horses run faster, but the tide was surging and caught up with the rear of the army with extreme speed, and the cavalry was all drowned in it.

The rear army was engulfed, and the Chinese army and the front army ran even faster, but the cars in which Liu Xie, Zhuge Liang and others were riding could not escape the range of the frenzy attack at all.

Ma Chao's eyes narrowed, turned the horse's head, and rushed to the car with Gao Shun, Xu Shu and others, quickly picked up the three young sons, and escaped with them.

But by this time, it was too late to escape, and the frenzy surged up and swallowed everyone up.

Grunt.

Everyone held their breath under the water, and bubbles rolled out of their nostrils, but the hot air burst in the water churned endlessly, and many soldiers were burned to the heart, and quickly went upstream, trying to climb to the shore as soon as possible.

Ma Chao had just climbed ashore with Liu Xie in his arms, and there was a loud bang in the distance, and a flame shock wave swept in, and Ma Chao was caught off guard, so he could only block Liu Xie with his body.

Rumble!

Raging seas!

The heat wave was raging, whistling and rushing away, Ma Chao was like a grass in the wild waves, swaying with the wind, he knelt on the ground, hugged Liu Xie tightly, and barely blocked the shock wave.

"General Ma!"

Liu Xie's eyes were full of fear, a few drops of cold sweat dripped from the top of his head, he raised his head and called Ma Chao tremblingly, Ma Chao was covered in cold sweat all over his body, and the armor on his back was torn apart by the flame shock wave, revealing the flesh and blood turned outward, the injury was serious, and the bones were visible.

Ma Chao couldn't hold it anymore, grabbed the ground with both hands, and then fell to the ground.

"General Ma!"

"Gao Shun, Xu Shu, Zhuge Xuan, come quickly!"

Liu Xie screamed in surprise and shouted loudly, Gao Shun and the others had just climbed up from the river when they saw that Ma Chao was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

"Quick, go find Zhang Ji!"

Before, when Ma Chao took away Xu Shu, Adi and others, he also took Zhang Ji away, at this moment, Zhang Ji healed Ma Chao's injuries, shook his head, and said: "You must immediately cut off the burnt meat on General Ma's back." ”

"These burnt flesh will block the recovery of General Ma's body, and must be cut off immediately!"

As he spoke, Zhang Ji immediately took out a medicine bag and a knife, burned the knife with a flame, and then cut the charred flesh on Ma Chao's back, cut it off piece by piece, then applied herbs, and then bandaged Ma Chao's wound.

Seeing that Ma Chao's breathing was stable, Zhang Ji took out another dose of medicine, which contained fever-reducing medicine to relieve the complications of Ma Chao's serious injury.

"Whew."

After all was done, everyone worked together to lift Ma Chao into the car, and at this time, the car driver had no horses pulling the cart, and only a bare carriage was left in place.

Zhuge Xuan asked, "What should I do next?" ”

Gao Shun frowned tightly, looking at the west of the Qinling Mountains, the flame shock wave was coming from the west of the Qinling Mountains, and there, where Luoyang was located.

It seems that the battle in Luoyang is even more tragic than they imagined, and it is not something that a few defeated soldiers can clearly say.

Zhu Jun's army has been defeated in successive battles, which must have the most direct connection with this flame shock wave, and even, as if this world was burned by fire, the air also became scorching, and it was all the same reason.

And the source of these reasons must be something done by Dong Zhuo's account, a person called Flame Heaven.

For no reason, Gao Shun is so sure, it must be a flame day!

After a while, Ma Chao's fingers moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, Liu Xie hurriedly grabbed his hand and shouted, "General Ma? General Ma! ”

"Hmm."

The sharp pain in his back invaded Ma Chao's whole body, constantly stimulating his brain, Ma Chao reluctantly sat up and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”

"Before the flames hit our army, General Gao Shun and others gathered the remnants, only more than 1,500 people remained, more than half of the war horses were lost, and all the grain and grass were burned."

"What?!"

Ma Chao was furious, and a mouthful of blood rushed up in his chest, and spurted out directly: "Ahem!" ”

After a mouthful of reverse blood spurted out, his whole person was sluggish, and his spirit was severely damaged, so he could only lean behind him and speak: "Let, let Gao Shun and Xu Shu come over." ”

Gao Shun and Xu Shu hurriedly arrived, and Ma Chao immediately ordered: "Our army's grain and grass have all been burned, for the sake of today's plan, it is impossible to go north to Qinling, we will retreat now, retreat to the Yanshi barracks, and then make plans!" ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the army moved, a soldier and horse suddenly appeared in the distance, Gao Shun immediately rode out to guard against the other party, there is a very peculiar thing, the opponent's thousands of soldiers and horses, it is actually all white war horses, white armor, and even the cloak behind him is all white.

Gao Shun suddenly had a thought in his heart, and when he looked closely, the other party really erected 3 banners with different fonts, namely "Zhao", "Pang" and "Gongsun"!

"It's General Zhao and they, they're coming!"

Gao Shun shouted loudly, laughed, ran back to the outside of the car, and said respectfully: "Young master, it's Zhao Yun, Pang De, and Gongsun Zhan are here!" ”

"Good!"

Ma Chaomeng was overjoyed, but as a result, the muscles involved the injury in his back, and the pain made him grin, but he still couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

With the help of Gao Shun and Xu Shu, he walked out of the car, and there was smoke and dust in front of him, and thousands of white light cavalry appeared in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's the White Horse Righteous Army of White Horse Sanyi!"
