Chapter 180: Compassion
With cavalry as the vanguard, the march was fast. In the evening of the same day, the cavalry team led by Guo Yi himself had already arrived at Shili Pavilion outside Huaixian County. The left-behind general in Huai County is Han Hao, who is unknown, and Guo Yi doesn't remember that there is such a number one person in history.
Han Hao chose not to hold out, because Guo Yi arrived outside the city in one day, the surrounding countryside could only be abandoned. The roads were blocked, and no distress messages could be sent. What can be counted on is that Wang Kuang will come back in about three days, as long as he survives this period and the army comes to help, he can flank Guo Yi's army back and forth.
Guo Yi climbed high and looked far away, observing the situation in the city. Yan Hua hung a red cloth on the roof of the Taishou Mansion, indicating that she had successfully infiltrated and could carry out the assassination operation.
"The order was ordered to Huang Zhong to stay in Heyang County to guard against Dong Zhuojun's attack. Long Yi led the army to make a detour along the Yellow River, attacked the five counties along the Yellow River, and must take Chaoge City and choke the pass of Jizhou and Yanzhou to cross the river north. Long Er led his army north, captured Shanyang County, and took control of the Taihang Mountain Pass leading to Shangdang County. ”
"No."
Hanoi is only a county, the area is not large, north of the Taihang Mountain, south of the Yellow River, a smooth road. As long as he didn't get caught up in a siege battle, in about three days, Guo Yi's army was enough to take this place.
At night, Han Hao stood on the city tower and looked at Guo Yijun's camp. Seeing that the three-way soldiers were separated and went in three directions, Han Hao was anxious, "This guy actually divided his troops to seize other counties and turned us into a lonely city!" ”
"My lord, there is a fire in the south of the city!"
Han Haotou didn't reply: "Little things, don't worry about them!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, another herald came, "My lord! Taishoufu is on fire!! ”
"Is there a spy in the city?" Han Hao reacted and immediately ordered: "Send twenty people to the Taishou Mansion to extinguish the fire, and the others will continue to be stationed!" Without my orders, anyone who dares to act rashly will be beheaded! ”
Outside the city, the scout sent a report, "Lord, the city is full of fires, it should be the internal action." ”
"Hmm." Guo Yi nodded and asked Guo Jia, "Action?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head, picked up a chess piece and dropped it, and said with a smile: "Wait." ”
Guo Yi nodded and continued to play chess. Fan Xin was reviewing the file on the sidelines, showing no interest in the chess game. With the difference in chess strength between the two, Guo Yi's victory is only a matter of time.
After about half an hour, a game of chess was almost finished, and Guo Jia's chess had reached the end of his rope, but he still did not admit defeat.
The fires in the city had already shone outside the city, and even if they were ten miles away, they could see the flames soaring into the sky.
The scouts had already come to report three times, and Han Hao in the city had no time to defend and attack, and in the building complex made of wood, the fire was unstoppable with the help of the wind.
"Alas, lost again." After three hands, Guo Jia finally threw in the towel and said with a smile: "You can add fire." ”
Guo Yi ordered, "Order the archers to attack." ”
Guo Jia said while packing up the chess pieces: "One more game." ”
Guo Yi said proudly: "You will lose as many games as you come." ”
The scout came to report, "General, the fire in the city has burned to the towers!" It is estimated that in another hour, Huaixian County will become a scorched earth! ”
Fan Xinyan immediately put down the file in his hand and hurriedly said, "Lord, it's time to act." If we continue to burn like this, we will only have an empty city. ”
"Nope." Guo Jia flatly refused, and asked rhetorically: "The fire in the city is so huge, how should our army extinguish the fire?" Rushing into a sea of fire at this time, wouldn't it be in vain to die? ”
Fan Xin said angrily: "There are more than 100,000 people in Huai County, and if they burn like this, none of them will survive!" ”
Guo Yi threw down the chess pieces and asked Guo Jia with a smile, "Fengxiao, who is this account on?" ”
Guo Jia picked up the chess pieces that Guo Yi had lost, took a step for him, and then followed the next step himself, and said with a smile: "Count it on the head of Dong Thief." If he hadn't caused trouble, these people would not have died. ”
"Amazing!" Guo Yi remembered that when he was a child, when his grandfather told him the story of the Three Kingdoms, he mentioned that Zhuge Liang burned Xinye, because the plan was too desperate, resulting in the people not being able to survive, which caused God to curse and live for decades. Although he is an atheist, he has an attitude of "respecting ghosts and gods and staying away" when it comes to the supernatural. But such a fire is no different from slaughter, and his modern values are unacceptable.
Guo Jia didn't care, and said indifferently: "If you want to achieve great things, you can't have the kindness of a woman." Today's fire just burned the general's broad road. ”
Guo Yi couldn't sit still anymore, picked up the binoculars and walked out of the camp. Watching the people of the city struggle in the sea of fire, it was as if their screams were in their ears. "Herald, siege."
"Lord, it's not good!" The scout was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he was so quick that he even dismounted his posture was deformed, "Lord! Han Hao excavated Qinshui, Qinshui burst the embankment, and the water rushed into the city!! ”
"What?!"
Qinshui is in the north of Huai County, and Guo Yijun is in the south of Huai County. Once the flood comes, then you will inevitably suffer. Looking around, there is not even a decent mountain, this is an alluvial plain, and there is nowhere to hide in the face of the great water.
"It doesn't matter." Guo Jia walked leisurely and said, "The water can't flood us." When the fire is extinguished, we can take the siege. ”
"Are you sure?"
Guo Jia nodded, "Sure." The water is not very wide, not to mention that it is now in the dry season of winter, and the water flow can extinguish the fires in the city, and it will not flood us. ”
Now, there is nowhere to run, so I can only trust Guo Jia's judgment. Guo Yi ordered: "Order, all departments take turns to be on duty to rest." ”
In a secluded place in the city, Elle couldn't bear to see this tragic situation, and asked, "Is this our sin?" ”
Yan Hua looked at it coldly, it was not that she was cold-blooded and ruthless, but as the captain, her position must be unswerving, as long as there is a wavering, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.
Bai Que comforted: "It's okay. You see, the river has rushed in, and the fire will soon be extinguished. ”
"Help! Help me. ”
There was a cry for help from a nearby mansion, and when Elle heard it, she immediately said, "I'm going to save someone." ”
Yan Hua said: "Baique, you follow her." ”
Elle found a woman in the rubble, her legs crushed under the beams, and a pillar striking her back. Seeing the two Ellies, the woman with dirt and blood on her face immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Help! Help me! I'm here, do well......"
"I'm coming." Elle ran to the woman's side, trying to remove the beams. But she was only an auxiliary person, and she didn't have that much strength at all.
The white finch also came to help, but she was also more dexterous than strong. Although he has eaten several dragon bone pills, he only has more than 200 catties of arm strength. The pillars and beams are at least four or five hundred catties, and she is completely helpless.
"You help her heal first, and I'll call someone." Red Feather is an archer and has a lot of arm strength, so it shouldn't be a problem to move this pillar away, plus Yan Hua, it's completely enough.
"Don't be afraid, I'll heal you." The palms of Ellie's hands glowed with white light, like a spring breeze, making people feel warm. The wound on the woman's back healed quickly and quickly with visible speed.
"Bodhisattva! You are a bodhisattva. The woman was shocked, and her eyes were full of ecstasy for the rest of her life. Bodhisattva, my child is below, you save him. ”
Only then did Elle discover that the woman had been holding a swaddling baby in her arms, and that the child was safe and sound, despite her serious injuries.
"Leave it to me." Elle quickly took the child and held him in her arms with unfamiliar movements. The child slept soundly, and his chubby face was very cute, and Ellie said happily: "He ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the waves rushed over, and the beams of the house were rolled down by the impact, and smashed on the back of the woman's head, and the woman snorted, and then she was silent.
"Hey! Don't die. Elle held the child in one hand and probed the woman's breath with the other, and she was already out of breath.
"Ellie!" The white finch came with someone, and when she saw a child in her arms, she was stunned.
Seeing that the woman was dead, Yan Hua frowned and hurriedly said, "We can't stay here for a long time, let's withdraw." ”
Red Feather pointed to the baby in swaddling clothes, "This child ......"
Yan Hua said angrily: "Take it!" Walk! ”
