Chapter 765: Burning Xiaohua City
When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, thinking that the big war was imminent, but this person said something that made the army lose their morale, which was really unpleasant, and immediately showed a little displeasure, and said: "I have considered this matter for a long time, and I have ordered scouts to monitor every move of the Sun family army around Ancheng, but for several days, except for those Sun family troops who retreated from all over the city, there was no movement in the city. Presumably, this week, Gongjin only cared about strengthening his defenses in Ancheng, and even forgot about this small Huacheng! Now it is God who helps me, don't hesitate, after I take Xiaohua City, the battle of Runan is a foregone conclusion!! Yuan Shu's voice fell, and all the soldiers were indignant to receive the order, and everyone was excited, just waiting to fight.
So, as Yuan Shu's order fell, an army of 20,000 well-armored troops, like a raging tide, swooped in the direction of Xiaohua City. The night sky, which was silent, suddenly seemed to tremble, and the whole earth seemed to shake.
After a while, the guards in Xiaohua City seemed to suddenly wake up to the attack of enemy soldiers, and they became a mess in an instant. Pegasus was scouting for the Yuan army who was rushing away, and saw many soldiers of the Sun family open the city gate and flee out.
"Report~~!!" The Sun family army in the city was frightened by the might of our army, and they abandoned and fled, now is a good time to conquer Xiaohua City, and please give the lord an order~~!! A burly general, riding a horse in front of Yuan Shu, shouted loudly. When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, his eyes were solemn, at this moment he seemed to feel that he was the overlord of this heaven and earth, as long as he gave an order, everything would be destroyed under the strong attack of his army!
"Listen to my orders, the whole army will speed up, I will end the battle within three watches!!" Yuan Shu pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted hissed. As soon as Yuan Shu's order fell, the already earth-shaking killing sound became even more powerful, and all the soldiers and soldiers rushed to lead the troops to clash first, and the momentum was so great that it seemed to swallow thousands of miles!
Just when Xiaohua City was in danger, on a high mountain cliff not far away, there was a person sitting on the edge of the cliff with a table and chairs, looking at the Sun Jiajun who was surging from afar.
And behind him, standing impressively was Sun Ce's chief of guardโLing Cao!
"Kun Tao, Kun Tao, why do you say that some people are obviously prominent and rich enough, but they are still unwilling to be satisfied, they intend to do the great cause of the world, but they don't want to rely on their talents, they are not worthy of being the lord of the world at all!
Just like this Yuan Highway, he came from the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and he has been superior since he was a child, and even the status of some princes and relatives is not as good as him. Moreover, the three generations of his Yuan family don't know how much money they have collected and how many private soldiers they have raised, if this Yuan Highway is content to defend himself and manage it carefully, this Huainan, Jiangdong, Jing, and Yang land will probably fall into his hands sooner or later.
But he can't tolerate others to transfer and offend his majesty, and he is eager to prove to the world that he Yuan Highway is the real son of destiny, and he is in a hurry and unprepared, so he has been defeated repeatedly over the years, and the civil and military under his command, but those who have some vision, have also begun to leave his side.
It's just pitiful, he's still indulging in his spring and autumn dreams...
These foolish people, their greed will never stop, and the world will never rest in peace! But looking at the dashing man, he sighed and said, under the moonlight, I saw him wearing a fiery red brocade robe, wearing a crown of red beads and phoenix hair, and then looking at his incomparable, as if the exquisite face carved by the ghostly axe, such a handsome man, how many times can I get it in the world?
This person is Zhou Yu, who is known as Mei Zhou Lang!
"It is precisely because of the inexhaustibility of fools that this troubled era needs heroes such as the lord and the military advisor to join forces to get rid of one by one, settle in the world, and benefit the people! This is the right time! Ling Cao showed a smile and said brightly. Speaking of which, Ling Operation, as Sun Ce's chief of guard, should be by Sun Ce's side. But before Sun Ce left, he insisted on keeping Ling Cao by Zhou Yu's side, firstly because Sun Ce trusted Ling Cao's ability to protect Zhou Yu's thoughtfulness, and secondly, because Sun Ce regarded Zhou Yu's life as equally important as his own.
At this time, he suddenly only listened to the strings flicking, and then a wonderful sound entered his ears, and Ling Cao couldn't help but show a look of intoxication.
At the same time, seeing that Yuan Shujun had slaughtered Xiaohua City, there seemed to be still many Sun family soldiers in the city who were intent on defending it, and they were in a hurry to close the city gate. A member of the Yuan army roared angrily, holding a double hammer, and the galloping horse took the lead in entering the city, and a team of Sun family soldiers hurriedly caught up, but they were killed and rolled away. At this time, although a lot of arrows fell down in the city, but because the fall was not fierce, and the Yuan army was on the offensive, it not only did not affect the morale of its army, but because of some sacrifices, it aroused the desire of the Yuan army to fight.
Listening to the sound of killing, it seemed to shake the small little Huacheng. Zongma is Yuan Shu who came in time, his eyes are hot, seeing that his army seems to be able to destroy this small city in a moment, he is arrogant, raises his sword, and shouts: "Accelerate and pounce, in the second watch, break this small city!" โ
Yuan Shu advanced the time, not only did not make his subordinates feel difficult, but on the contrary, they were excited. As a result, I saw that the troops of the Yuan army rushed up, like a flood tide, Huo Ran slaughtered into Xiaohua City.
Suddenly, the sound of killing intensified, and Yuan Jun broke into the city like crazy tigers and wolves.
On the other side, in the middle of a mountainous area, the sound of the piano, which was originally graceful, sounded like flowing water in the heart, and suddenly, the sound of the piano became restless, like a fire burning in the heart.
"A minor tune, talking and laughing, scorning fools, no far-sightedness, far from great ambitions. Let's look at the present day, only I Zhou Lang, take the plan, thousands of troops, and flourish! โ
The song was far away, and suddenly a strong wind blew. Looking at Xiaohua City, at this time, most of the army led by Yuan Shu had already entered, and I didn't know that there were bursts of horror and shouting. It turned out that many generals of the Yuan army found that there were many flammable things such as saltpeter and sulfur hidden in the city.
"Not good!! Hit the plan~!! In an instant, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Yuan Shu's whole person instantly stiffened, and his eyes widened. At this time, I only heard the shouting orders in the city, and then I saw the Dao Dao rockets flying up from everywhere, and soon shot to the roof, and in an instant I saw pieces of flames swept up, surging away, only for a while, the fire was raging, and the whole Xiaohua City burned!
"Wow~~!! It's on fire~~!! Run away~~!! โ
"Oh no, the south gate is also on fire~~!!"
"Damn, go to the east gate or the west gate~!!"
"Look, the east gate and the west gate are also on fire~~!!"
"Hurry up and rush to the north gate while the fire at the north gate has not started~~!!"
After listening to the anxious shouting and drinking of the generals of the Yuan army, as one of the generals of the Yuan family drank, all the Yuan soldiers and horses seemed to be crazy and went towards the north gate to clash. Therefore, trampling and killing countless people, Yuan Shu under the support of the generals, in the chaos of the army, rushed suddenly, but anyone blocked the way, even if it was a subordinate of the comrades, in order to escape for their lives, they were also killed. Therefore, many soldiers followed suit, and in order to save their lives, they rushed and knocked countless comrades into the flames.
Listening to the continuous scolding, Yuan's army gradually became a mess, except for the deployment that fled first, most of the people and horses behind were all blocked.
"Lord!! This fire, I'm afraid it will burn all 20,000 elite soldiers of our army!! One of the generals of the Yuan army shouted with a miserable face and grief. Yuan Shu's heart had long been as cold as three feet of ice, and when he heard it, he didn't change color, and now he only thought about how he would escape back to Huainan after losing 20,000 elite soldiers. Could it be that his reputation for Yuan Highway all his life was ruined and became a joke of the world!?
"Lord, look!! The north gate is not on fire~~!! At this time, a general suddenly shouted in surprise. Yuan Shu looked anxiously, and sure enough, he saw that the north gate was not on fire, so he hurriedly whipped his horse and rushed there.
At the third watch at night, I saw that Xiaohua City was on fire, and there were flames everywhere, but there was no fire at the north gate. Yuan Shu was fortunate to escape with the support of a cadre of generals and remnant soldiers.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Yuan Shugang had not fled far away, and a group of people suddenly blocked the way. As the leader, he carried a pair of big iron whips on the road, and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha~~!! Yuan Highway, you stupid person, my military division has already arranged this grand show, and it is rare for you stupid person to cooperate so much!! โ
Under the firelight, I saw that the general was wearing a bull's horn and a helmet, which was Huang Gai. Yuan Shu couldn't help but be furious when he heard Huang Gai insulting himself, pointed at Huang Gai, and shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to take off this horseman's head for me, I will reward him with three hundred taels of gold!" โ
The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, as soon as Yuan Shu's order fell, many generals under his command immediately received the order angrily and rode out one after another. Huang Gai saw the generals of the Yuan army swarming out, not afraid of rejoicing, and shouted, and a huge fuzzy fire ox like a small hill appeared. Between the lightning and flint, as soon as Huang Gai and those Yuan soldiers clashed, they heard bursts of loud noises and loud noises, and then they saw that people continued to fall off their horses. Yuan Shu stared at him anxiously, but they were all generals under his own army, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.
"Hahaha, how did they come here are some shrimp soldiers and crab generals!! Where is Ji Ling, get out of here and fight with me!! "I only heard the sound of the yellow cover like a bell, and it shook violently. Yuan Shu also missed Ji Ling very much at this time, but in order to prevent Liu Ling from Yangzhou, Yuan Shu had to leave Ji Ling in Huainan to guard the border.
At the same time, Yuan Shu remembered that when he was determined to raise troops to recapture Runan, Yuan Yi and Ji Ling were both opposed, but he ignored the persuasion of the two and insisted on sending troops to Runan, and the end result was that the current army was defeated!
"Could it really be that God wants to die, my Yuan Highway?" Yuan Shu only felt cold in his heart, seeing Huang Gai killing, but he didn't know how to dodge, extremely decadent.
"Lord!! Don't be discouraged, don't forget that there are still 100,000 soldiers waiting for you in Huainan, one day, my Huainan army will make the Sun family's rats pay the price~!! At this moment, there was a shout behind Yuan Shu, and immediately saw a general rushing out on horseback, facing the fierce Huang Gai, waving his gun and stabbing sharply. Rao is Huang Gai, and he was also killed by this Yuan army dead soldier for a while.
"Lord, hurry up and wait for me to withdraw here!!"
