"General Tiangong, look."

Zhang Jiao, who followed the soldiers, looked in the direction of the soldiers' fingers, and sure enough, he saw fires in several places in the city, and there was faint smoke rising into the sky, and many soldiers and women ran out of the houses naked, standing on the street and shouting, and there were many more soldiers shouting around them, and the situation was extremely chaotic.

In addition, there were many more soldiers carrying water containers and splashing them on the fire, and the fire was slowly extinguished under the attack.

"Big brother, it's just a matter of walking in the water, why make a fuss. Do you see the naked soldiers and women in the city? ”

Zhang Liang watched the fire annihilate, and watched the soldiers and women in the city grit their teeth and repeat the old words to Zhang Jiao.

"That's not right." Zhang Jiao shook his head and said, "The fire hasn't been extinguished yet, it's still burning." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Liang was stunned when he heard this, and after a closer look, he found that there was indeed a faint firelight shining, and in less than a moment, the firelight became more and more red and bright, and became clear and arguable. ”

"Big brother, I'll go over and see what's going on." Zhang Liang felt that something was not right, and turned his head to Zhang Jiao and said.

"Hmm. The third brother went to take a look, when he attacked the city, the Taishou Mansion was empty, I didn't think it was right, you take a closer look, don't let the official army give us any stumbling blocks. ”

"No." ……

On the top of the mountain east of Gaoyang City, Huangfu Song tightened the steel knife in his hand, and said coldly: "Gongwei, Zhang Jiao has already entered the city, tell the generals to go down the mountain quickly and surround me to death in the east of Gaoyang City, and no one shall be released from the city when the fire starts." ”

"No."

Under the leadership of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the officers and soldiers rushed to the east gate of Gaoyang City like wolves in the night. The black night gave them excellent cover, and the gods unknowingly surrounded the Dongcheng to death.

Lu Zhi in the west of the city looked at the time, and his face was full of regret: "This battle has meritorious deeds, but I don't know how many living beings have been killed. ”

"Alas~"

With a long sigh, Lu Zhi said to Liu Bei, who had been standing behind him: "Xuande, the time has come." Quickly ordered all the generals to lead the troops to surround the west of the city, and not to ......," he gritted his teeth, "and not let anyone go." ”

"No."

As for Zhang Ju in the south of the city, he also ordered the whole army to go straight to the city gate and surround the south city gate.

The north city gate had long been surrounded by Dong Zhuo's cavalry, and Dong Zhuo in the dark looked at Gaoyang City with a cold expression. "Wen You, this battle is the head of Zhang Jiao, how about we use this to enter the court?"

Li Ru's bright eyes could hardly hide his light even in the dark. These eyes quickly turned beside Dong Zhuo.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law does not recommend entering the court immediately. When the Emperor Fu was defeated, it was the peak of his prestige, and it was difficult for us to do anything even if we entered the court and were covered by it. The son-in-law has a hunch that if Zhang Jiao dies in Gaoyang City now, Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban is bound to launch a crazy revenge, so it is better to wait for the court to change, and then it would be better for the father-in-law to mention that Xiliang Tieqi entered Beijing in the name of righteousness. ”

"Hmm." Dong Zhuo just hummed when he heard this, rode on his horse, and looked directly at Gao Yanggao. His face was cold and terrifying, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Big brother."

Zhang Liang, who came in a hurry, said anxiously: "Big brother, this fire seems to have burned up from the ground, and it can't be extinguished no matter how you pour it!" A bag of water was poured down, and it turned into water vapor after two clicks, and after a while, the place that had just been poured out still burst into red flames, which was really a fucking evil door. ”

"It's broken!" When Zhang Jiaozheng was in shock, a personal soldier beside him shouted, "General Tiangong, look." ”

"What's wrong again?" Zhang Jiao turned around impatiently, and suddenly gasped as far as his eyes could see, and said in a mouthful of air, "This ...... How so? ”

In this way, the fire in the city has become more and more rapid, and even red flames have risen from the ground, straight to the sky, and there is faint smoke coming out of the fire, the wind is blowing very strongly, the wind is helping the fire, the flames are getting higher and higher, and all of a sudden, the faint fire has burned into a piece.

At this time, Zhang Jiao could faintly feel the heat wave sent by the wind.

"Damn, something isn't right!" Zhang Jiao wiped the sweat on his forehead, and at this time, he suddenly felt that the ground under his feet was slowly warming, and Zhang Jiao couldn't help but raise his feet.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that the ground under his feet was actually black, and when he first entered the city, due to the darkness of the sky, and the ground was originally black, it was difficult to distinguish at all, but at this moment, the ground was actually black by the firelight.

"Third brother, this Gaoyang City is yellow clay, why is this apprentice black?" As he spoke, Zhang Jiao picked up the black soil with his hand and examined it carefully in his hand.

"Big brother, when has this been, you still care whether this is loess or black soil." Zhang Liang anxiously yelled at Zhang Jiao.

"That's not right." At this time, Zhang Jiao's expression was shocked, he had just discovered that this black thing was actually charcoal.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Liang didn't understand what the eldest brother said again.

"Quick, get out of Gaoyang City, quick." At this time, Zhang Jiao was going crazy. He didn't expect the official army to be so vicious, and it was covered with charcoal in this Gaoyang City.

Coal has been used in steelmaking in the Western Han Dynasty, but the mining technology is limited and the output is extremely low. Generally, it is only used in the court and smelting. The charcoal burns quickly, and it is difficult to completely annihilate when burned.

Looking at the group of generals who were still standing stupidly, Zhang Jiao said angrily: "What are you still standing stupidly for?" Quickly withdraw from Gaoyang City, are you all deaf? ”

"Huh? Be. Looking at Zhang Jiao, who was roaring like crazy, the generals didn't know what to do for a while, because they didn't know what the coal in Zhang Jiao's mouth meant. I don't understand why Gaoyang City has to be withdrawn again.

Zhang Liang hugged the roaring Zhang Jiao, and said loudly: "Big brother, big brother, calm down." What's going on here? ”

Zhang Jiao, who calmed down, completely understood the Han army's strategy in his heart, so vicious. With a grim face, he told the strategy of the Han army, as well as the characteristics of the charcoal.

The faces of the crowd changed dramatically.

"Big brother, then get out quickly." Zhang Liang said anxiously.

Zhang Jiao's dead face became more and more obvious, and he shook his head and said: "It's too late, the person who can lay out this ruthless strategy will definitely not leave a way out, and now there should have been a large army outside Gaoyang City." Hehe......"

"Newspaper~"

Before Zhang Jiao's words fell, a terrible long howl came, and everyone looked over, only to see a soldier running frantically.

"Gaoyang City is surrounded by the Han army."

"What?"

"Big brother, big brother. How is this good? Zhang Liang said with an anxious face. Everyone's faces quickly turned pale, there was a charcoal fire in the city, and there was a large army besieging the city outside the city.

As the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Jiaoneng's mentality must be extremely firm. The short-term gaffe has long since disappeared, and he has changed to his usual majestic face: "What are you panicking about." There is no endless road. There are still tens of thousands of Han people in the city, and I don't believe that the Han army can put their lives at risk, so I will go with me. ”

The generals only felt that Zhang Jiao's majestic face on weekdays looked so kind at this time, looking at the confidence of General Tiangong, everyone's panic slowly faded, and they followed Zhang Jiao tightly to the city wall.

Standing on the city wall, Zhang Jiao felt a slight coolness. Although the fire in the castle was spreading, it was difficult to reach the walls for a while.
