"Open the door, open the door! it open! ”

With a loud bang, the door of a private house was kicked open by two sergeants of Zhang.

Immediately afterward, there was a scream from inside the house, and the sound of ping-pong crockpots being smashed.

Under Tang Cheng's order, 150,000 Zhang troops, in the east of the city, began to work in pairs, forced into private houses, and frantically collected fire oil.

150,000 people worked together to gather enough oil, but it didn't take much time.

When the fire oil from a jar was moved to the ground in front of Tang Cheng and piled up more and more, his heart became heavier and heavier.

Wang Dong said it well, he really ruined this giant city and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, he Wang Dong may be fine, but Tang Cheng is the chief general of the 150,000 Zhang army, and afterwards, the people of the world will only count this evil deed on Tang Cheng.

"General, the oil has almost been collected, and the wind army has almost entered the city at this time, do you want to set fire to it now?" A partial general stepped forward and asked.

His words interrupted Tang Cheng's thoughts, and the latter first took a deep breath, and then glared at him violently: "Release!" ”

"No!"

The general clenched his fists in response, and then began to command there: "Quick! One man and one altar, from west to east, all scattered! Stuff it with strips of cloth, light it, and smash it into houses all over the city! As soon as the fire broke out, evacuate to the east gate—"

"No!"

"Hurry, hurry—"

Under the command of the generals of the various chapter troops, tens of thousands of Zhang soldiers and soldiers, carrying pots of fire oil, quickly dispersed throughout the city.

A sergeant of Zhang, lit the rags stuffed on the oil jar, and then vigorously threw the oil jar on top of a private house, with a 'bang', the oil jar burst open, and the fire burned in an instant, and the fire snake spread in an instant along the traces of the fire oil splashing......

At that time, most of the houses were wooden structures, which could withstand the ravages of the fire, and as several jars of fire oil were smashed all over the house, the house was soon in flames.

This is just the tip of Zhang's arson, in this burst sound one after another, the fire in the sky started from the west of the city and spread all the way to the east of the city.

There were terrified screams everywhere in the city, and when the people in the houses finally escaped from the fire, they stood at the door and looked out, and the surroundings outside the door had already become a sea of fire, and there was no way to escape......

With the help of fire oil, the fire burned too fast! Especially a large two- or three-story house like an inn, it is transparent as soon as it is burned.

And the fire borrowed the wind, and the more it burned, the more vigorous it became, and even some of Zhang Jun's feet were half a minute slower, and they were also buried in the sea of fire. By the time Tang Cheng led his army to evacuate from the East Gate, the eastern half of the entire Hedong County had turned into a sea of fire, and there was no place intact.

A few miles away from the east gate, Tang Cheng sat on his war horse, turned his head and tilted his head, looked at the huge city with thick smoke and flames, and muttered: "If I don't deviate from the way of heaven, I really have to do it......"

At this time, hundreds of thousands of wind troops had just entered the city from the west gate, and it could be said that as soon as Lu Chen stepped into this giant city with his front feet, a fire had already risen in the east.

Standing on the high part of the city wall, looking at the firelight on the other side of the eastern city, Lu Chen's gaze suddenly became dark.

Sima Wen shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "King, this fire must have been carried out by the Zhang army, and its purpose is to block the pursuit of our army. ”

"What a vicious thief! He actually set fire to my Hedong county town! I'm! King! The last general, please die! Lead the army to pursue the Zhang army! Will leave all these dog stuff behind! Zhao Chuan said angrily.

Lu Chen didn't speak, but Sima Wen persuaded him: "General Zhao, don't be impulsive, Dongcheng has become a sea of fire, and at this time, the fire is spreading to this side by the wind, how can you rush through this sea of fire." ”

As he spoke, Sima Wen sighed again and said, "Zhang Jun will flee if he escapes, but he has pity for the hundreds of thousands of people in this city." ”

Ah! Hearing this, Zhao Chuan was even more angry and gritted his teeth, he clenched his fists fiercely towards Wu Yue, and said, "General Wu Yue! Please lend me 30,000 iron horses! ”

"This fire, I'm afraid there will be no entry or exit......," Wu Yue said worriedly.

"You just say borrow or not!"

"Good! I'll go with General Zhao! Wu Yue said in a loud voice.

After the two finished speaking, they immediately faced Lu Chen, intervened in his hand and saluted, waiting for Lu Chen to agree.

"Enough trouble!?" Lu Chen glanced at the two of them in distraction.

"Great King, even if the last general is buried in the fire...... Zhao Chuan said urgently.

"Shut up!" Lu Chen frowned, and interrupted Zhao Chuan's words with a cold drink, at this time, his mood was definitely very bad. And when he was angry, Zhao Chuan suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't wait to immediately grow wings, catch up with Zhang Jun, and fight with him!

"Is there any water nearby?" Lu Chen asked Sima Wen again.

Knowing what he meant by asking, Sima Wen shook his head and said, "King, it's too late. ”

"Then save people!"

Lu Chen said cleanly, and then pointed to the generals at all levels in the army, and said in a shocking voice: "You immediately lead the soldiers of the headquarters into the city to save people!" How much can be saved! The officers and men of our army, starting from this king, from top to bottom, must be all dispatched!! ”

"No!" Everyone first responded in unison, and then suddenly reacted, Zhao Chuan stammered and said, "King, you ...... You go too? ”

Ah! Hearing this, the people were shocked, and Xiao Wang was the first to say: "The king must not be in danger!" With such a fire, all the buildings in the city will collapse at any time, and if something happens to the king, I will be to blame for my death! And I, the Wind Country, will immediately fall apart and be paralyzed! ”

Sima Wen also followed closely and said, "General Xiao is right! Thou art king, king......

"That's it!" Lu Chen waved his hand irritably, frowned and said, "It's just on the edge!" This king has his own measure, and he will not go deep into the land of fire, so you don't have to worry so much! ”

"What are you delaying here!?" As he spoke, he was the first to step down the city wall, and he insisted on saving people, not because he was willful, but because he wanted to lead by example. As a monarch, he couldn't really rush into the fire to save people.

"Hurry, hurry! In pairs, enter the houses in the city and search for them, and if they collapse, they are not allowed to enter! Keep yourself safe first! Hurry—"

Under Lu Chen's order, the generals of the various armies began to command groups of Feng soldiers to run in the direction of Dongcheng, and at the same time, other people who had not yet been ravaged by the fire also began to pour out of the city.
