Chapter 308: Yuan Shao vomited blood
Plain County, West Gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At night? A few black figures are shuttling under the city tower.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we've completed our mission, and we still have to find a chance to get out of the city. Staying in the city is a dead end. ”
The one who leads, ordered.
Several figures came to the city tower and quickly dispersed. As soon as they were crouching down and preparing to move, suddenly an archer appeared on the castle tower, and they saw the archer bending his bow and aiming at the dark shadow below the castle tower.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
The bow and arrow with a sharp roar shot into the bodies of black shadows with lightning speed.
After a few screams, all the figures under the city tower fell to the ground.
"Chirp! Chirp! ”
A name like a birdsong sounded, and a group of black-clothed warriors quietly rushed out from the castle tower. This team of black-clothed warriors quickly cut the throats of all the fallen corpses, and then moved them away as soon as possible.
Such a situation is born in Pingyuan County.
Whether it was the center of the city, or the four city gates, there were people who rushed out to act, but they were quickly shot and killed by those hiding in the shadows.
About half an hour later, a fire suddenly broke out in all corners of the city. The fire was raging and spreading. The red fire dispelled the darkness and illuminated the night sky, and the entire plain city was as bright as day, and soon fell into a sea of fire.
It is ten miles away from the west of Pingyuan City, outside a mountain forest.
Here, an army is stationed.
The leader is Yuan Shao. At that time, the commander who led the army to attack Le Anguo was nominally Yuan Shao personally leading the troops, but in fact, it was Yuan Shao who made people pretend to be and deliberately attracted Wang Yan's attention. The real Yuan Shao had already led the army to hide outside Pingyuan County, quietly waiting for Wang Yan to enter the city.
Yuan Shao looked at the generals under his command, and said in a deep voice: "If there is a fire in the Pingyuan county, the Qingzhou army in the city will definitely be in chaos, and it will run around. Now according to the plan, you will each be stationed outside the city gate of the county seat, waiting for Wang Yan's army to come out. When he saw one, he killed one and prevented them from leaving the city. ”
The generals were given the order and soon went their separate ways.
Wave after wave of troops left, rushing to the plain county seat.
Yuan Shao led the army and slowly approached the east gate of Pingyuan County.
In fact, Yuan Shao deliberately withdrew from the county seat, because he had already let people spread coals in all directions of the city gate and all over the city. As long as these coals are ignited with tung oil, the fire spreads and is difficult to extinguish. When the time comes, the entire county will be on fire, and even the elite of Wang Yan's army will be powerless in the face of the fire.
In the face of the fire, Wang Yan's army was bound to be in chaos, and Yuan Shao had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Yuan Shao's strategy was very simple, but it was extremely vicious, and once he succeeded, Wang Yan would almost certainly be defeated.
The army was on the way, and Yuan Shao looked at the fire burning in the county seat, and was even more delighted.
Outside the east gate, the fire was getting bigger and bigger.
At this time, the four gates of the county have all been opened. It was not the soldiers who rushed out of the city first, but the ordinary people in the county, and they all rushed out in a swarm.
Wen Chou was stationed at the west gate, and when he saw the people rushing out, he immediately hesitated. In order to avoid the people from suffering, Wen Chou ordered that the attack was forbidden, and the people were allowed to leave, and at the same time asked the soldiers to immediately inform Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao to decide.
Yan Liang was stationed at the south gate and encountered the same situation, and also sent people to ask Yuan Shao's opinion.
And so it was with the rest of the people.
Yuan Shao was outside the east gate, looking at the burning city gate, and then heard the news of the report from the generals of all parties, and ordered: "Don't worry about the people who rushed out, let them leave." But you must pay attention to it, if you see Wang Yan's army coming out, you must intercept and kill it. ”
Guo Tu said: "My lord, I am afraid that Wang Yan and his soldiers will mix among the people. ”
Yuan Shao sneered twice and said confidently: "The army under Wang Yan has a total of more than 80,000 people. Such a huge number cannot be easily dispersed. Moreover, a fire suddenly broke out in the city, and Wang Yan was not prepared in advance, so it was impossible to respond immediately. The most important thing is that Wang Yan actually let the people evacuate first, and he stayed in the city, and if he delayed a little longer, he would lose a little more life. ”
After Guo Tu heard this, he stopped persuading.
In fact, Guo Tu heard what Yuan Shao meant, and he was unwilling to force the people to a dead end. But the real situation is that the people know about Yuan Shao's arson and burning of Pingyuan City, and they have been driven to a dead end, and it is impossible to forgive Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Shao wants to win back the hearts of the people, it is basically impossible.
However, Guo Tu did not open his mouth to persuade him, he was unwilling to sweep Yuan Shao's interest.
And the gates of the city in all directions kept pouring out of the city. And on the towers of the city in all directions, there are soldiers everywhere to extinguish the fire. From a distance, you can even clearly see the soldiers running back and forth carrying water on the top of the city.
Yuan Shao laughed, proud in his heart.
It was a wonderful feeling that he could sit back and enjoy his success without spending a single soldier and without giving the order to attack.
In the city, Taishou Mansion.
Wang Yan sat in the hall with a serious expression.
Shi A stood respectfully and reported: "Lord, the people in the city have almost been evacuated, and almost all the people have rushed out of the county seat. However, because the fire in the city has been under control and has been burning for so long, the fire is starting to weaken. If the burning of the fire is suppressed, I am afraid that it will arouse Yuan Shao's suspicions. ”
Wang Yan nodded and ordered: "Where the people evacuate, they can properly set fires." The fire cannot be stopped, but it cannot get out of control. ”
"Humble duty understands!"
Shi Ah nodded, looking extremely cautious.
The plan he implemented this time was the most difficult since he followed Wang Yan. The task is daunting, difficult, almost impossible to accomplish. But Wang Yan gave the order, and Shi A could only carry it out. After Shi A retreated, Wang Yan looked at Jia Xu and ordered: "Wenhe, almost all the people have withdrawn, let's implement the next plan." ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the lord has already given the order." ”
According to the plan, the first step was to start the fire, then control the fire burning in the city, and at the same time let the people evacuate.
The second step was to begin ordering the army to feign a withdrawal from Plains City.
As the order continued, the four square gates of the city,6 and the troops withdrew outward. Among them, there were even people who pretended to be Wang Yan and retreated with them.
When the news reached Yuan Shao's ears, Yuan Shao was even more proud, Wang Yan was indeed not far from death.
Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and said excitedly: "Gongzhi, seeing it, Wang Yan began to order the soldiers to retreat." Now, Wang Yanzhong? I want to break through. It's a pity that it's late. The people were all evacuated, and he gave the order to evacuate, it was too late. The fire in the city is getting bigger and bigger, and Wang Yan will definitely be defeated. He thought he had saved the people, but he was the one who died. ”
The scope of the battle between the two sides is not large, only limited to the four city gates, but the range of fire in the city is gradually expanding.
Everything is going on step by step according to Yuan Shao's plan.
Everything is also going on step by step according to Wang Yan's plan.
The army under Wang Yan broke through several times in a row, but all of them ended in failure, and they were all driven back into the city.
This situation made Yuan Shao even more proud.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, the wind rose in the cold night sky.
The dark clouds gathered in the clouds, but it was only the blink of an eye, and it was a violent wind.
Rumble!!
A flash of lightning suddenly sounded in the air.
"Tick! Tick! ”
In the air, a little raindrop fell.
In an instant, a torrential rain fell.
Raindrops the size of beans fell all over the sky, and as the rain fell, the fire in the city was instantly suppressed. Yuan Shao stood outside the city, and the sound of the fire being extinguished came from his ears.
Yuan Shao saw this scene and yelled: "No, no, why? ”
"Why, God?"
Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and shouted, with an angry look in his eyes.
A strong aura of depression spread in the chest. He was angry, he was disappointed, and he was more desperate. This time, Yuan Shao tried his best to make a flawless plan, and finally had another chance to destroy Wang Yan, but he failed completely because of a heavy rain.
Unwilling!
Yuan Shao is unwilling!
Burst!
Yuan Shao was so angry that he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his spirit immediately withered.
