Chapter 237 Ganquan Mountain Beacon Fire
The Xiliang coalition army was in chaos, and Lu Bu got the news early, and he didn't move for days because he was unable to attack. The foundation of the pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Bu was unstable, and the weapon wear could not be repaired in time, except for the countless arrows sent by the Xiliang army that could be used to defend the city, most of the swords, guns, halberds and spears were broken.
At the same time, Lu Xun also suggested that the troops should not move and sit back and watch the internal strife of the Xiliang Army, if there is an external force inserted at this time, it is likely to cause the Xiliang Army to put down its interests in the face of pressure and unite with the outside world.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
The soldiers, as usual, patrolled the city walls, yawning boredly. After the Xiliang army retreated more than ten days ago, it never came to attack the city again. A soldier suddenly pointed to the distant white sky and said, "What is that?" β
"It's like a star." Soldier B squinted.
"No, it's big and small, it's bright and dark, it should be a torch, right?" Another soldier said.
A small lieutenant carefully observed the half-sound, and exclaimed: "It's the beacon fire of Ganquan Mountain!" β
"It's impossible, such a thick fog, it's going to snow again, how big does the beacon fire of Tianquan Mountain have to be to penetrate the fog?" The soldiers looked closely at it in disbelief. After seeing it clearly, there was an uproar: "Oh no, Tianquan Mountain is on fire!" β
"It must have been killed in Chang'an City! Cut off our food routes! β
"We don't have anything to eat......"
"My mother, wife and children......"
"We can't go back...... I'm going to die here......"
The whole camp, which had been quiet for several days, boiled, and countless soldiers climbed the city walls, watched the fires of the basin in the far east, howling and crying, and panic permeated the whole camp.
Lu Bu is strengthening the cavalry with the strengthening technique in the barracks, and has successfully strengthened more than 20 of them these days, looking at the newly strengthened soldiers in front of him tiredly, and just performing the strengthening technique on the soldiers, the soldiers seem to have been blown up, and the skin and flesh of the whole body are like balloons, and they will leak with a needle, and the soldiers are rolling on the ground in pain. This strengthening technique is really amazing, the strength of the strengthened soldiers has increased by at least half, and the bulging arms are full of explosive power.
However, there are also a small number of soldiers who could not bear the pain and were killed alive. Every time Lu Bu performed a strengthening technique, he had to sleep for an hour or two, otherwise he would feel exhausted. Watching the soldiers rolling in pain on the ground slowly calm down, covered in blood beads, lying weakly on the ground. Another one succeeded, and Lu Bu happily asked people to carry him down and settle down. These soldiers were sturdy soldiers selected from all over the army. LΓΌ Bu tried, but the emaciated soldier could not bear the pain and was finally killed alive.
"Run...... The enemy is coming, and I don't want to die......"
Lu Bu heard the crying outside, slightly unhappy, and said to Wei Yue: "Go and see what happened, what kind of noise has become!" β
Wei Yue just walked out of the camp and shouted outside the camp: "Oh no! Bomb the camp! β
Lu Bu's sweat hair stood upside down, three steps and two steps rushed out of the tent, the barracks in the east of the city cried and shook the sky, the fire was full of energy, and the whole city was in chaos. What a bomb camp! Lu Bu was horrified, what all the generals were most afraid of was to bomb the camp, once the soldiers were all in chaos, it would eventually lead to attacking each other and trampling on each other. Even the main general may die in the chaos because of this.
"What's going on!" Lu Bu asked in horror. Wei Yue didn't know what was going on, and was busy arresting a few soldiers who were making trouble.
Lu Butie blushed and asked the soldier, "What's the matter!" β
"I don't know, I ...... someone else killed me first," the soldier said with a handful of blood on his face.
Lu Bu questioned several soldiers continuously, only to know that it was the beacon tower on the top of Ganquan Palace that was lit by Chen Palace. This beacon tower has a great stake, and it is clear at a glance in all directions, Chen Gong will not come to a trick of the three armies of the beacon fire, which means that something has happened that Chen Gong cannot bear, and it is so urgent that it is too late to even send fast horses.
Lu Bu almost sat in the snow, he didn't know what was going on, at least it was a thing that led to a loss of everything, the situation in Chang'an was extremely dangerous, otherwise Chen Gong would not easily ignite the beacon fire on the roof, he was a person who looked at the overall situation, only far beyond the judgment of Lu Bu, Xu Shu and other strategists, it had led to the critical moment of the collapse of Lu Bu's camp.
Lu Bu suppressed the horror in his heart, the skin and flesh on his face were squeezed together, he squeezed out a smile very reluctantly, and trembled and applauded and laughed: "Hahaha...... Chang'an has been decided, and our army has no worries! β
Lu Bu tried his best to behave naturally and happily. He can't let people see a flaw, if he panics, these generals under his command will be even more embarrassed, he must stabilize the current situation, and tell himself over and over again in his heart that he can't panic! Don't panic!
"Beat the drum and tell the whole army to panic, but Chen Gongtai has broken Chang'an, and the special beacon sent a message to tell it, and it will be passed on quickly. If anyone causes chaos, they will be killed according to the collaborator! Lu Bu trembled his legs and ordered, and at the same time sent all the soldiers of the archery battalion out to shout. He didn't know what was going on, so he was even more afraid. History has deviated from the original trajectory, he doesn't know how to go in the future, once it goes beyond history, Lu Bu feels very uneasy.
There were bursts of calm drums from the big tent of the Chinese army, giving the rampage soldiers a glimmer of confidence. Gao Shun at the north gate, Zhang Liao at the south gate and others intervened with troops and gradually pacified the soldiers.
All the generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Lu Bu breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally calmed down the soldiers, and the nerves were highly tense for several days, and the slightest external force led to the bombing of the camp, but fortunately it was not a mutiny. Not afraid of a powerful enemy, the most afraid is this internal chaos.
Lu Bugao sat on the main seat, unable to see his joy, and tapped his fingers on the case. After a moment of panic, Lu Bu had calmed down, and the last thing he wanted to happen happened. According to Chen Gong's ignition of the beacon fire, it is speculated that this matter is very important, either Chang'an has an accident or Tongguan has an accident, and these two places can at least take remedial measures, Chen Gong didn't even have time to remedy the fire, so he panicked and lit the beacon fire, it could only be an accident in Wuguan.
Wuguan is a major link, and it is a sensitive area at the junction of LΓΌ Bu, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao. Cao Cao sent troops from Xiangcheng to guard against Liu Biao in Wancheng, and Liu Biao also had to guard against Cao Cao in Xiangcheng, all parties had concerns, compared to the city in Lu Bu's hands, Wuguan was the safest place, so many generals' families were in Wuguan. And the attack on Wuguan should not be done by Liu Biao, who sat and watched the tiger fight, but only by Cao Cao, who was full of tricks, once the generals' families fell into the hands of Cao Cao, there would be unpredictable consequences for defeating the Xiliang army.
"With Ji Ling defending in Wuguan, it should be fine." Lu Bu tried to imagine from the good side. He hated Zhang Ji very much, if it weren't for Zhang Ji to defend Chang'an, Lu Bu would have no place to stay, and the general's family would not have stayed in Wuguan.
