In the incessant wail, even if the fire had not yet reached the city wall, the scorching heat wave had made the mouths of the soldiers on the city wall dry.

"General Ye, we are the Han people you have personally naturalized, please let us live!" Hundreds of people were driven by the fire to the city wall, but they were killed by the merciless rain of arrows, and seeing that the fire had begun to spread in this direction, an old man fell to his knees and pleaded bitterly.

Ye Zhao glanced at the spreading sea of fire, turned his head to look at Guan Hai and Ding Li, and said: "Inform Li Xing, hang the catapult down as soon as possible, and the soldiers will go down to the city in turn, line up a hundred steps outside the city, and block it with an arrow array, so that no one can escape!" ”

"Whoa!"

Guan Hai agreed, and personally ran to give the order, and Ding Li continued to command the soldiers to hang the catapult to the city with the rope that had been prepared, but the catapult was too cumbersome, and the city wall was narrow, even after the clay pot was thrown, it had already begun to move, and until now, it was only put down four, and there were still two on the city wall that had not been put down, but according to the speed of the spread of the fire, I was afraid that one would have to be lost.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that someone was tentatively trying to rush towards the city wall, Ye Zhao's eyes were cold, and he gave an order, and hundreds of arrows fell, forcing the crowd back again.

The fire is spreading wildly, retreat is death, although Jin may also die, but it is not as desperate as the fire, and Lian stood in the crowd under the escort of the personal guards, watching a famous Han soldier on the city wall ruthlessly block their retreat, gritted his teeth and looked at the surrounding soldiers and civilians, and roared: "The Han people are not ready to give you a way to live, since they are all dead, why not fight with them!?" ”

"Yes, fight with them!" Many people have been clamoring.

"Lord, if we are entangled by them, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out!" Ding Li leaned over to Ye Zhao and said in a low voice.

Ye Zhao nodded, leaned on the women's wall with both hands, looked down at the crowd that began to riot, and said loudly: "Helian violated my border, the crime is unforgivable, I will come here, just to take Helian's head, offer Helian's head, and this general will open the city immediately!" ”

While speaking, Ye Zhao waved his hand, and the archer immediately stopped releasing his arrows, but did not retract his bow, and looked at the crowd below indifferently.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" In an instant, He Lian felt countless unkind eyes fall on him, and even many Xianbei soldiers showed the same gaze, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they pulled out their waist knives and pointed at Ye Zhao and said, "You also believe the words of the Han people!?" Now let's kill it together, there is still a way to live. ”

"Raised by a son of a bitch, if you hadn't come to invade the city, how would we have ended up where we are today! Helian, take your life! In the crowd, a Wuhuan man burst out and slashed at a Xianbei warrior in front of him.

"Give my daughter back!"

The Wuhuan people's attack seems to be a fuse, these days, although Helian in order to avoid unnecessary damage, ordered to kill only Han people, but these Hu people have settled in this Macheng for a long time, some even took Han women or women in the family to marry into the Han, and Lian an order, I don't know how many families and wives are separated, today He Lian even connived at Xianbei soldiers to loot their property, and he has long held a sigh of resentment in his heart.

Compared with Helian, Ye Zhao has governed Macheng for two years, and his reputation is still guaranteed, and the resentment that has been holding back in his heart plus the desire to survive is just an instant, and hundreds of people rushed towards Helian.

Helian's personal guards naturally guarded Helian's side, fighting with these people, the sudden outbreak of battle between the two sides, more people were involved, and the two groups of men and horses who had temporarily trucened because of their lives fought together again, and the monstrous fire rolled up, and the two entangled men were instantly engulfed by the flames.

He Lian felt the scorching heat wave in the air, and anxiously commanded the guards to break out of the encirclement, but he was the person Ye Zhao named to kill, and he was also the hope of everyone here, how could he let him go.

Looking at Hu Min, who rushed up one after another to stop him from leaving, He Lian was so anxious that he turned around, and inadvertently, He Lian suddenly found that the Han army on the city wall had disappeared without knowing when, and his face couldn't help but change, but after Ye Zhao saw the two sides fighting together again, he ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the city along the long ladder left before, and a group of people only cared about fighting, and they didn't find that the Han army had quickly evacuated when they were fighting, and even left a trebuchet on the city wall that was too late to take away.

"Don't fight, the Han army has retreated, hurry up and open the city gate!" He Lian kicked over a Hu Min who rushed in front of him, pointed at the city wall and shouted.

"Boom~"

At this moment, a tongue of fire swept by the wind, and dozens of Hu people who were entangled together were swallowed by the tongue of fire in an instant, and Lian looked back, and suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and the fire had spread to this side during the period of the two sides fighting, and the crowd of thousands of people was only a few hundred people left at this moment.

"Quick, open the gates!" He Lian frantically rushed towards the direction of the city gate with his men and horses, those Hu Min saw that the Han army had disappeared, and the fire had spread to this side, how could they still have the heart to continue fighting, the two groups of people and horses with red eyes who had been killed before were under the threat of death at this moment, but they abandoned their previous suspicions in an instant, and rushed to the city gate.

It was only when they opened the gates that they found in despair that they had sealed them with earth and stones from the outside.

"Damn the Han people, they didn't let us leave alive from the beginning!" He Lian's eyes were red and he looked at the blocked city gate, and roared loudly: "Go down from the city wall!" ”

But before they could withdraw from the city gate, the fire had already spread to all sides.

"Quick, go to the wall!" He Lian stretched out his hand to block in front of him, and the scorching heat surged, only to feel that the air inhaled in his lungs was burning, and a group of people hurriedly rushed to the city wall, and many people were directly squeezed down from the city wall, and were swallowed by the sea of fire in an instant.

"Wang, there is no way out!" Finally rushed to the city wall, looking at the empty city wall, the long ladder used by the Han army to go up the city wall has already been removed, although the city wall of Macheng is not high, but under the reinforcement of Ye Zhao several times, there are about three zhang, jumping down so high is definitely a dead end.

"What should I do?" At this moment, Helian's brain was unprecedentedly calm, and when he saw the catapult left by the Han army, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he pointed to the catapult lane: "Retreat to it, use it to go down to the city." ”

The catapult was about the same height as the city wall, but it was just right for this time.

Under the pressure of death, a group of people burst out with unprecedented potential, and in concert, they knocked the heavy catapult off the city wall and put it on the ground, forming a steep inclined ladder.

"Get out of the way!" But before Helian could slide down the catapult, a warrior had already pushed everyone and climbed onto the base of the catapult.

"Huh~"

"Poof~"

A sudden cluster of arrows pierced the warrior's chest, and in the warrior's unwilling wail, the burly body slipped off the catapult and slammed into the ground.

He Lian's heart twitched fiercely, and he was shocked to find that those Han troops had already formed a formation fifty paces outside the city wall.

"And Lian Danyu, this road is not passable!" In front of the Han army, Ye Zhao seemed to look at the direction of the city wall for a while, and said loudly
