469. Burning of Dongjun
Dian Wei's death was a big blow to Han Fei, and what he had been determined to use was now ready to be used.
"Strategist, they're coming!" The guards came in to report.
Han Fei stopped thinking and looked up and said, "Let them in!" ”
"Yes!" The guard said yes, turned around and went out to bring in the two craftsmen. These two were the leaders of the craftsmen in the battalion, named Huang Fen and Tian Yu. After Huang Fen and Tian Yu came in, they immediately knelt down and saluted Han Fei.
Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Get up!" Do you know what it is to call you two here today? ”
They both looked at each other for a moment, then both shook their heads. Han Fei sighed and said, "Are all the clay pots I told you to prepare before?" ”
"Huijunshi, everything is ready according to your requirements, not only the clay pots, but also the fire oil and cloth twists have been moved." Huang Fen heard Han Fei's question and hurriedly replied.
"Okay, now that you've got it, let's use them to attack the city tomorrow! And remember that these things must be handled with care, not exposed to open flames, and must be kept under the care of a special person for twelve hours, except by my general order, and no one shall be allowed to touch these clay pots. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand! Don't worry, we will take care of these clay pots! Huang Fen and Tian Yu echoed in unison. Seeing that they agreed, Han Fei couldn't help but nod and then instructed the two of them a few more words, and let them go down first.
Seeing the two leaving, Han Fei's face showed a hint of hideousness, and he whispered to himself: "Brother Dian, you go first, and tomorrow I will send Cao Thief's men and horses down to accompany you to the funeral!" ”
The next day, early in the morning, the catapults lined up again outside the city walls of Dongjun. Yu Ban at the head of the city looked at the busy Qi army below with an expressionless face, the boulder bombardment yesterday morning failed to hurt the Dongjun city wall at all, that was because the city was paved with cowhides, and many of the boulders were blocked by cowhides, and they could not be directly smashed on the bluestone of the city wall.
After discovering that the cowhide worked, Yu Ban strengthened the city head again today, and he believed that the Qi army would never want to take Dongjun with just another catapult. Han Fei looked at the city head that was waiting for him, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart, but after just a moment, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Change the clay pot!" Ignition launch! ”
With Han Fei's order, the soldiers suddenly became busy. Yu Ban at the head of the city said with a twitch of the corners of his mouth: "It's coming!" All of them are ordered to hide under the cowhide! He was stunned as soon as he finished giving the order, "Wait, what's that?" Yu Ban saw that the catapult was not loaded with boulders, but was replaced with clay pots that were lit one by one. This moment filled Yu Ban's originally determined heart with doubts and uneasiness!
Qi Jun didn't give Yu Ban too much time to think, and with an order! Catapults were launched continuously, and burning clay pots flew towards the city!
"Bang Bang!" A continuous cracking sound sounded, and then the contents of the clay pot spilled out! Then "Whew!" The fire was blazing. The whole city was suddenly plunged into a sea of fire!
Yu Ban has passed the initial shock, and now only the panic on his face remains! He shouted hoarsely, "Retreat!" Take down the city! Hurry up......"
However, Yu Ban's shouts did not work, and the cowhide city wrapped in the head of the city was burned with the accelerant, and the flames churned and shrouded the city. That's not all, some clay pots crossed the city wall and fell into the city, and the place where they fell suddenly ignited a fire, and the city was full of crying fathers and mothers, which made Yu Ban's face change again when he had just withdrawn from the city in embarrassment! He didn't bother to check his burned left arm, and immediately asked people to hurry up and put out the fire!
At this time, there were no living people on the city, and after the first clay pot attack, they all escaped from the city wall when there was a gap, and they were all burned to death on the city head when they did not flee in the first place. With five consecutive rounds of projection, there is no place on the city that can be spared!
Han Fei watched coldly, and said silently in his heart: "Brother Dian, have you seen it in the sky?" I've avenged you! ”
"Ziyi is here for you! Attack the city as soon as the fire is extinguished! I'm sure the thief won't react. After Han Fei finished speaking, Tai Shi Ci nodded yes! At this time, Han Fei turned his head to look at the fire at the head of the city again, and turned around and went back to the big tent with his guards.
The fire burned for three hours, and it didn't stop until everything that could be burned at the head of the city was burned! As soon as Tai Shi Ci saw that the opportunity had come, he immediately ordered the army to attack the city! At this moment, the fire in the city has not been extinguished, and Yu Ban was directing the firefighting, and suddenly a soldier reported: "It's not good to guard the big thing!" The Qi army has captured the city! ”
"Ahh How so! Go and report to your lord, and the sons and daughters will go up with me and take back the city!" Yu Ban's reaction was not unpleasant, but he underestimated the combat power of the Qi army, and as the Qi army of the brigade ascended to the top of the city, Yu Ban couldn't stop them desperately!
After being shot three times in the body, he was dragged down from the city by his own guards! After the forbidden defeat and retreat, the Qi army at the head of the city was killed and opened the city gate in one fell swoop! The third general, Zhang Fei, took the lead and entered the city.
Cao Cao waited for the news and immediately sent Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to block the Qi army, but at this time, even the tiger and leopard cavalry could not stop the tide of Qi troops from entering the city! Zhang Fei was so powerful that he picked and killed three tiger and leopard captains one after another! Then went straight to Cao Chun to kill, Cao Chun saw it and quickly waved his gun to parry.
Cao Chun is powerful, but how can he be Zhang Fei's opponent! Seeing that the two had fought for only a dozen rounds, Zhang Fei's spear would pass under Cao Chun's ribs, and the iron armor was suddenly cut out by Zhang Fei! Cao Chun secretly complained in his heart, he wanted to leave as he fought and retreated to the west. At this moment, a horse galloped over, and this person held a big axe to open the mountain and ran to Zhang Fei's head.
Zhang Fei had to abandon Cao Chun's swing of the Eight Snake Spear to parry, and Zhang Fei couldn't help but take it seriously. It was not someone else who came, it was Cao Cao's general Xu Huang!
Xu Huang's big axe wheel opened, and Zhang Fei slashed it desperately. Zhang Fei lost the opportunity and it is worth passively resisting, one, two, three......
Cao Chun saw that there was an opportunity, turned the horse's head and ran to Zhang Fei and killed him again! At this moment, a person behind Zhang Fei shouted: "Don't worry, three generals, so-and-so is here to help you!" "It's none other than Tai Shici who is speaking!
It turned out that Tai Shi Ci took over from Han Fei to command the battle, so he entered the city one step later than Zhang Fei, and after entering the city, he quickly came here following the traces of the soldiers' killing. came to see that Cao Chun wanted to sneak attack Zhang Fei, so he shouted this and came over to help.
Seeing that another general of the Qi army had been killed, Xu Huang knew that they would not be able to please today! So he forced Zhang Fei back with an axe, and then he immediately beckoned Cao Chun to go quickly! Cao Chun was not stupid to see that the general trend had gone, and he no longer loved to fight, and took the tiger and leopard to ride to the west.
