Chapter 179: Beacon Fire Dyes Xijing in March (6)
Guan Yi thought about it left and right, laughed, and asked: "It's just the Xianbei Department, how does the chief of the waterway know about other Beiyi?" Could it be that he has mastered the number of magic and has supernatural powers? ”
That Chongxuan was not afraid at this time, he groaned for a while, and said: "My branch has only had some dealings with these Beiyi for generations, so knowing the situation is not caused by supernatural powers." ”
"However, the poor road has been born since childhood, and he has been a master for a long time, and he has access to the hidden path, but he does have some small skills, and he is willing to be used by the great handsome."
Guan Yi laughed when he heard this, but there was a murderous aura, and everyone around him was terrified, but they heard Guan Yi stop laughing and say, "What magical powers do you have?" Can you know if this will win or lose? ”
Although the rebuilding of Chong'an is in the internal guard, it is not reused, at least the Dao vein is not very satisfied, Chongjiu is another vein, and it is not the road that is taken, but the official path, Chongxuan, who was dispatched this time, is the master of this generation, and this time he is ready to win attention at any cost.
Chongxuan listened, silently stared at Guan Yi for a long time, and then looked at the two sides.
I saw Guan Yi, a green dragon energy, rolling on it, the spiritual eye looked close, it seemed to have a sense of heat, and the other party's two black ash qi were entangled and rising, and there were more than ten zhang.
Looking at this situation, Guan Yi will win this battle, but he also has a lot of losses, just thinking about it, suddenly, he saw a red dragon rising up, like lightning, across the sky, shooting towards the gray gas column, hitting violently, the gray gas column shook violently, and immediately fell apart.
Chong Xuan saw this omen, knowing that the qi was in advance, he couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered: "Hey, I thought this was a tug-of-war, although I won in the end, but I also lost a lot, but unexpectedly, the strange light was highlighted, red on the outside and white on the inside, blazing incomparably, this omen of the Lord immediately broke through!" ”
Just when Chongxuan's heart was shocked, he suddenly realized that he was still in front of Guan Yi, and suddenly shuddered, and said: "Xiaodao doesn't dare, it's just that Guan Shuai is the person who was ordered by Fengyun, since he ordered to see the small skills of the poor Dao, the poor Dao responded to his orders." ”
"I see that the Great Han has the mandate of heaven, the red dragon rises to the sky, and the Lord Han will be able to break through this pass within three days." Chongxuan swallowed his original words, but changed his words to say this.
Guan Yi listened and said: "Great goodness, the Taoist chief has meritorious service in offering letters, and afterwards I will show the saint, let's retreat first!" ”
Chong Xuan listened, so he had to respond: "Yes!" ”
When Guan Yi saw him leaving, he commanded: "The army is arrayed, enter the final preparations!" ”
And he commanded, "Send a messenger to shout." ”
"No!" Left and right.
The drums sounded continuously, and the Han soldiers of a battalion and a guard continued to move closer, slowly converging in front of the checkpoint, solemnly arrayed.
In a moment, several horses rode towards the checkpoint, ran to a distance of 100 paces from the city wall, and stopped.
The messenger shouted to the city wall: "Listen to the city, I am told by the order of the great marshal that my Han Chengtian has been ordered to stabilize the people, and my emperor will be virtuous and powerful, and he will not hesitate to reward him, and he will lead his troops to join him as he wishes, and he can also stay in his original position, and he will not be blamed for the past. ”
Listening to the messenger's words, all the soldiers and generals in the city looked at Liu Bao, Liu Bao was furious, and shouted: "I am the prince of the Jin Dynasty, how can I stoop to serve now?" If you want to recruit me, die of this heart! Tell the Guan family child, if you have the ability to attack the city, come here, I will see how much he has the ability of his ancestors, I will be in the whole city, rather than for the broken jade, not for the tile! ”
Liu Bao is fifty years old, and his voice is still the same as Hong Zhong, spreading far away, and he can hear it clearly in the city and under the city.
The messenger was furious when he heard this, and he didn't say much, turned his horse back, and went back to tell Guan Yi, who also snorted coldly: "This is not dead in the heart of the Yellow River, come here, go to the city." ”
I saw that in front of the camp, five city-breaking carts stepped forward.
When Zhong Yi saw it, he couldn't help but step forward: "Guan Shuai, although this city-breaking car is powerful, it can't be thrown high, I'm afraid it will be ineffective against this mountain and gorge stronghold!" ”
Guan Yi snorted and said, "How can I not know this?" It's just that this method hurts the heavens and the peace, and he doesn't want to kill more, so he is persuaded to surrender, and now there are thieves or barbarians, since he doesn't surrender, it's no pity, he wants to rather be broken than broken, not for the tile, I will fulfill them! ”
"Pass my orders, fire bombs!" Speaking of this, Guan Yi's face was covered with a layer of murderous aura, and he said: "The fire bomb made by the Ministry of Industry is only 100 catties, but it can be thrown into the stronghold!" ”
The fire bomb is simple, it is a large pottery jar, containing oil and ignition gunpowder, Guan Yi observed the Ministry of Engineering experiments, a special pottery bomb, can hold dozens of catties of flammable fuel, which contains a variety of ingredients, although it will not explode, but when it lands, it will be broken, the oil fire splashes, and burns fiercely.
This scene is very inhumane, splashing on the body of the person is full of fire, in the environment of today's era, unless it is a martial arts god can be defended, the rest of the injured are almost impossible to survive, the tragic situation of wailing makes people feel like they are in hell.
If it wasn't a last resort, Guan Yi wouldn't be willing to use it, for the simple reason that it was too lethal and easy for the enemy to learn.
But I can't care about it at this time; I saw that the soldier in charge of the city-breaking cart stepped forward, and fifty firebombs were carefully unloaded from the ox-cart behind, and the firebombs were loaded onto the launcher of the city-breaking cart with skill.
The distance was calculated, a fuse was lit on the fire bomb, and in the midst of the sizzling sound, the captain who commanded the city-breaking car, with a cold face, gave an order: "Listen to my orders - release!" ”
With a soft sound, five fire bombs flew out of thin air, three fire bombs hit the city head, and two fire bombs smashed on the city wall.
"Listen to me - release!"
At this time, the flames were not big, but the city-breaking car immediately gave the order again, and suddenly, another batch of fire bombs fell up, all of them hit, just a moment, a large number of flames rose, in the flames, dozens of people were full of fire, struggling to call, the scene was terrible, although in fact the casualties were not large, but the deterrent power was more frightening than more than ten times the death.
"Listen to me - release!"
"Boom!" The third batch of shells fell, and the city was in chaos.
"Boom!" With a bang, a fire bomb exploded in the Murong tribe, flames splashed, and more than a dozen people called out and struggled, their whole bodies covered with fire.
"Great Elder, are you alright?" Far away, this scene can be seen very clearly, even Murong Shegui, the son of the patriarch of the Xianbei tribe who is known for his bravery, suddenly turned pale, held his fingertips into his palm, and hurriedly pounced.
Mo Hubai was safe and sound, but he was stunned, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
There were wooden structures in the city, and they burned as they spoke.
"Great Elder, what should I do?"
"Retreat!" Mo Hubao immediately came to his senses and hissed and shouted: "Who dares to intercept, kill!" ”
After receiving the order, the Xianbei tribe was originally prepared and immediately responded, but Liu Bao had already ordered it, and the supervising team intercepted it, and for a while, it was killed.
Guan Yi didn't know about these, didn't care, and was not in a hurry to break through the pass, and continued to order the fire bombs to be fired and set fire everywhere, and in less than half an hour, the entire pass was shrouded in skyrocketing fire, which was obviously irretrievable. Baixiao
The Han army was arrayed in a mile, where there was an enemy who struggled to escape from the fire and jumped off the city, he shot it with random arrows, and in a mile and a half, the Chinese army, Guan Yi looked, the fire on the city was like in front of him, the heat poured in continuously, and the hot tongue of fire was felt within a mile.
At this time, inside the checkpoint, thick smoke went up, hidden flames, within a radius of several miles, covered with thick fireworks, although it was noon, the spring was brilliant, under the cover of black smoke, it was dim.
The flames burned, the pavilions collapsed, the wounded screamed, the explosions from time to time, and if you look closely, you can see countless figures struggling in the flames, and the whole scene is almost like the Shura field.
Many Han soldiers couldn't bear to look at it, so they hurriedly lowered their heads.
After moving slightly, Guan Yi saw that the fire was ejected, looked at Luo Shang, and said: "This fire will burn for at least a day and a night, fortunately it is spring, and the trees are watery, so it should not become a forest fire, and the whole army is ordered to camp, wait for the flames to burn out, and then march again!" ”
Luo Shang bowed down and replied, "No! ”
At this time, a personal guard issued an order saying: "The Chongxuan Taoist priest asks to see him, and he is willing to recruit the Xianbei Department for the messenger." ”
Guan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There is no need to meet, let him go and recruit the Xianbei Department." ”
For a while, it was already dusk, and the mountains and rivers were shrouded in a gloomy sky.
At this time, the flames of the distant stronghold were still bright, and after a while, the raindrops the size of beans fell with the cool breeze, and as soon as the rain fell, everyone suddenly felt that they had entered a cool world, and it was indescribably refreshing.
The barracks of the Han army have been completed, and the Chinese army has a watchtower, Luo Shang went up and looked at the camp, only to see that the barracks of the 50,000 army stretched endlessly, more than ten miles away.
After the rain fell, the flames in the distant mountain gorge checkpoint were still burning, and the slightest raindrop was evaporated, but Luo Shang was still relieved.
As long as this rain falls, and it falls in the middle of the night, the fire will be extinguished tomorrow morning.
"I don't know if Liu Bao is dead?" When he looked at it, he saw that the lanterns had been planted in the camp, so he went down, and when he arrived outside the tent, he went in without notice.
At this time, the tent was already lit up.
When Guan Yi saw him come in, he commanded: "Let's eat, I still have something to say after the meal." ”
"Yes!" Luo Shang, as a deputy general, naturally has the same treatment, the meals in this camp tent are naturally not feasts, nor do they gather at the table to eat, those who are qualified, a small number per person, there are three plates on the table, a meal, a dish, and a soup!
There is no wine, and alcohol is not allowed in the army, although it is said that generals of this level can naturally hold a pot and pour themselves, but there is none, although with their martial arts strength, a pot of wine will not let them do anything.
After the meal was finished, the guards came up with tea for the generals to use at will.
Guan Yi ordered people to leave the table, and Zhengrong asked, "How is it raining outside?" ”
Luo Shang bowed down and replied: "Guan Shuai, the rain is at the right time, if it rains overnight, everything will be extinguished tomorrow." ”
At this time, a cool breeze swept through the cracks of the tent, and the rain outside became heavier, hitting the tent with a crackling sound, and then faintly brightened a few times, and there was the sound of heavy thunder rolling.
In the flash of lightning, Guan Yi glanced outside and smiled: "It seems that there is no need to ask, it is raining well, and there is no need to think about the spread of the wildfire!" ”
After a pause, he said in a relaxed tone: "Did you say Liu Bao is dead?" ”
Luo Shang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Guan Shuai, I don't understand this matter either, but Liu Bao is the handsome of one party after all, plus the fire bomb seems to be violent, but in fact, there is still a period of time before the fire is hot, unless the unlucky person is hit immediately, he should not die." ”
Guan Yi said: "It doesn't matter if Liu Bao dies or not, tomorrow our troops will be able to enter the Guan, and Bingzhou will also be swept in one fell swoop, his fate is already doomed." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, turned around a few times, and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty once said that this person is also a hero. ”
When Luo Shang heard this, he said: "Guan Shuai, this person is mean and unkind, tyrannical and tyrannical, and at this time he led Beiyi into the Kou, it is really an unforgivable crime, he is a chaotic minister and thief, how can he be a hero?" ”
Guan Yi laughed when he heard it, and said: "What you said is good, it's just that he is a hero and my enemy!" ”
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I have read this person's information repeatedly, and after being regarded as a Xiongnu nobleman, he fought bravely and won many times, and was successively valued by the Cao family and the Sima family.
This person has some talents and martial arts, but unfortunately he has bad intentions, so there is no cure, and no matter how much talent he has, he will only help to abuse. ”
In this era, there are many such people, besides, no matter how noble they are, how can they compare to the Chinese nobles?
Turning his head, he asked the scribe, "How is the grain now?" How much food can be used? ”
"I've already checked, and in my army, it's still available for ten days!" The Chinese sergeant of the army owed himself and said: "After entering the pass, as long as Liu Bao does not lose his heart and burns the grain, there is no need for the rear army to send much more grain." ”
The rain crackled and fell, and the group found a dilapidated village in the rain, which was originally not many people.
Mo Huba sat in a temple, his heart churning, his eyes blazing, listening to the rustling rain outside the house.
In a few moments, I saw someone come in.
"What, counted?"
"Great Elder, when I came out, there were more than 10,000 clansmen, but now there are only 5,000!" The man cried out.
Mo Hubao knew that there was a lot of loss, but he couldn't think of such a lot, so he was suddenly dizzy, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I have already ordered to leave immediately, why do you lose so many people?" ”
"Great Elder, we were the first to retreat, but as a result, Liu Bao, a thief, did something to us, was intercepted, couldn't withdraw, and many people died."
Mo Hubao was a spirit, and suddenly understood that he was the first to retreat, Liu Bao naturally couldn't tolerate it, and suppressed it, on the one hand, he was killed in battle, on the other hand, he was intercepted, he couldn't retreat, he was running around, there was no way out, and naturally most of them were burned to death.
Nowadays, the grassland tribes are not unified, and each ministry governs on its own, such as Murong Xianbei, with a total of 20,000 warriors and a total population of more than 50,000, which is already one of the largest tribes on the grassland, but now the men of the whole clan are almost a quarter less, which is a heavy blow to the tribe!
