It also occupies almost half of the city in Xingyang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to ensure the safety of these grains and grasses, Zhang Xiang simply drove the people in the city out of the city, after all, there are many noisy people and it is easy to walk water. Although the common people cried and grabbed the ground, they still chose to obey in the face of Wu Jun's swords and guns, because Zhang Xiang ordered that anyone who refused to relocate would be killed.

After several bloodsheds, the people of Xingyang could only leave the city in tears, vacating their houses and courtyards for the Wu army to place grain and grass. They resented Wu's atrocities, but in a few days, they might be grateful for what they had done to save them from being burned out.

After Zhang Xiang expelled the people and properly placed the grain and grass, he couldn't help but be complacent, thinking that if these grains and grass were stored in Xingyang City, they would be as stable as a mountain.

But what Zhang Xiang didn't expect was that the Han army did not attack the city at all, but directly threw fireballs and rockets into the city. The catapult can throw heavy stone bullets on the city wall, throw a straw rope fireball that is dozens of times lighter than the stone bullet, and the distance thrown is definitely much farther than the stone bullet, and it is easy to fly over the wall of Xingyang City and fall into Xingyang City.

Even the gunpowder crossbow arrows fired by the ballista were half lighter than the usual crossbow arrows, and the range was greatly increased, and the terrifying power of ten arrows at a time made the entire Xingyang City shrouded in a rain of arrows.

Despite the large area of Xingyang City, the Han army attacked from four directions at the same time, east, west, south, and north, and the catastrophic consequences caused by such a dense concentration of fireballs and rockets falling into Xingyang City were naturally self-evident.

In order to prevent fires, Zhang Xiang also prepared a large number of water tanks and sand and other fire extinguishing facilities in the city, but these facilities may be effective in dealing with general fires.

Since the stacking of grain and grass is adjacent to each other, once one hoard of grain and grass catches fire, the fire will quickly spread to the other stockpile, and the whole street will burn up.

The time when the Han army launched the attack was already in the afternoon, and by the time it was dark, the entire Xingyang City had been reduced to a sea of fire, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and the red sky could be seen hundreds of miles away.

In the sea of fire, the Wu soldiers did not say that they were fighting the fire, and it was too late to escape, the fire not only burned the grain and grass that the Wu army had gathered, but also all the houses in Xingyang City were ignited, and the entire Xingyang City was full of smoke and fire, and there was no place to live.

In the sea of fire, Wu soldiers were all on fire, running wildly, letting out terrible screams until they were burned to a piece of charcoal.

More Wu soldiers died in the billowing choking smoke, and the smoke associated with the fire was more like an invisible killer, and pieces of Wu soldiers fell, and Xingyang City seemed to become a Shura hell.

Zhang Xiang was as dead as ashes, he never thought that the Han army would use this kind of attack method, and without spending a single soldier, the defenders of Xingyang were wiped out with grain and grass. Zhang Xiang regretted it at this time, if Xingyang City did not gather so much grain and grass, the Han army's fire attack may not be effective, originally thought that Xingyang City, which was as solid as a mountain of gold, turned out to be a crematorium, Zhang Xiang wanted to cry without tears.

"General Zhang, break through, if you don't leave, we will all be buried in the fire." Seeing that the fire was about to devour everything in Xingyang City, Cai Min said to Zhang Xiang anxiously.

The grain and grass have almost been burned out, the army is also dead, the battle has not been fought at all, the situation is unbearable, Zhang Xiang is stomach of grievances, what the hell is going on?

Seeing that the fire was rushing towards this side, if he didn't go out of the city, he would really be buried in the fire as Cai Min said, Zhang Xiang immediately ordered the city to break through.

The city gate was opened, but as soon as Wu Bing showed his head, the opposite side was like a rain of arrows, and the Wu soldiers who rushed out fell to the ground one after another.

It turned out that outside the city gate, the Han army had already deployed a large number of crossbowmen, and the entire city gate was sealed, as long as the Wu soldiers showed their heads, they would immediately be attacked by a dense rain of arrows, and the density of the arrow rain completely covered the entire city gate, I am afraid that even a fly could not fly out, let alone a large living person.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Bing immediately retreated back and hurriedly opened the elephant.

Zhang Xiang was completely dumbfounded at this time, the fire behind him was overwhelming, and the road in front was blocked by the bows and arrows of the Han army, which was the rhythm that completely wanted to kill them.

"Rush! Rush out at all costs, or we'll all die here! Zhang Xiang gritted his teeth and shouted, there is no way to retreat now, either to die in battle, or to be burned to death, only by putting them to death and rushing out of a bloody road, they have a chance to survive.

But the dense arrow rain of the Han army made the Wu army fearful, the entrance of the city gate was not big, and at most seven or eight people could only pass side by side.

Cai Min shouted: "Follow me!" With a shield in his left hand and a gun in his right, the first prancing horse rushed out.

Someone led the team, and the Wu soldiers naturally increased a lot of confidence, and rushed out in a swarm.

Cai Min hit the horse like flying, rushed out of the city gate, and rushed desperately towards the arrow array of the Han army, but the arrow rain of the Han army was too dense, Cai Min's shield had been inserted with five or six arrows, and the unprotected war horse was hit by arrows in many places, and after rushing forward for dozens of steps, he finally fell down, Cai Min shouted, and wanted to rush into the Han army formation quickly, but dozens of spears stabbed out in unison, and Cai Min watched the sharp tip of the spear penetrate his body.

Wu Jun retreated again in embarrassment, Zhang Xiang gritted his teeth and was ready to personally lead the team to rush out, but at this moment, a burning beam smashed and smashed heavily on Zhang Xiang's back, Zhang Xiang screamed, spurted a mouthful of blood, and fell under the horse.

The sergeants were horrified and were about to save it, but more of the burning wooden beams collapsed and buried Zhang Xiang alive, and the surrounding Wu soldiers were too late to save them, only to hear a few heart-rending shouts from the flames, and then they fell silent.
