When Ma Chao learned that Galahad had fled from the North Gate with a team of 200,000 Sunset*, it was too late for the army to catch up. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] It was all because of the deep pit that Galahad laid out that the originally fast cavalry had to jump over carefully, wasting a lot of time. Originally, when Ma Chao learned that Galahad escaped, he also had a little mind to chase and kill. However, when he turned around, he saw that there were thousands of cavalry around him, and the main force was still slowly passing through the city gate. This made Ma Chao angry and almost ran away on the spot, and Ma Chao still didn't choose to chase after him rationally.

By the time all the cavalry had entered the city, Galahad had already led the army far away. Ma Chao had no choice but to continue to send several cavalry detachments to continue to follow Galahad's ass, so as not to let the fat in his mouth run away. The rest of the troops all entered the city and looked for a place to rest. After all, today there was a fast march of more than twenty miles, plus several hours of fighting. Not only were the war horses out of breath, but even the soldiers were very tired physically and mentally. You must know that horseback riding is also a physical job, and if you don't have a little endurance, you will long be turned upside down by the war horse. As for fighting, it is more physical and mental exertion.

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen who received the order to rest immediately quickly found a place to sleep one by one. Of course, there is one more thing to do before taking a break. The war horse is also tired today, so it must be replenished. After a while, I have to go to the logistics office to get some soybeans and delicate forage to replenish the strength of the war horse. At the same time, I have to get some dry food, otherwise I will oversleep and I will have nothing to eat.

After feeding the horses, most of the soldiers just ate two mouthfuls of dry food, drank some water, and then found a house to sleep in. At this time, the sky was still bright, and it was close to dusk. It stands to reason that it was time for everyone to eat at this time, but the soldiers of the Beichen Army rested early after a day of fatigue. Even Ma Chao, who is the commander-in-chief, lay down and rested after arranging the vigil and patrol soldiers.

However, at this moment, a quiet discussion sounded in a cellar in the city. This cellar is not small, and it is full of fragrant wine, which was originally dug by the owner of this tavern to avoid the war. Because I haven't encountered any military disasters in normal times, this place has gradually become a wine cellar. However, at this time, the cellar was crowded with nearly a hundred people. These men were all dressed in leather armor, and they had swords, guns, swords, and spears in their hands.

A small detachment under the command of Grand Marshal Galahad in the country where the sun never sets, which in normal times, no one will notice them. Even now, not a single soldier of the Beichen Army knew that there was a high chance that there would be an enemy under the house where they were resting. The captain of the hundred-man team was talking to two of his men, both of whom were junior officers in charge of fifty men, only one rank below him.

Because this place is a tavern, except for the soldiers of the Beichen Army who scavenged some wine on it before, they all left and went to sleep elsewhere. Therefore, at this time, the captain who was hiding in the cellar did not speak very loudly. "Now it is estimated that the bastards of the Beichen Army are almost rested, let's wait until the evening to go out on a mission, what do you think?"

The captain's tone is very kind, not because the captain has a good temper. Rather, because he was actually parachuted into this hundred-man team as the captain, General Galahad needed some cronies to carry out this mission. So as the general's personal soldier, he was directly parachuted over. So far, he has only commanded these hundred or so people for less than three hours, and the soldiers under his command still don't know him. Only these two petty officers themselves learned about it in advance. From the previous conversation, the captain obviously felt that the two were very dissatisfied with him.

For this, the captain has the same heart as Spiegel. The original captain died, as long as he retreated to the rear, the captain of this hundred-man team must be one of these two people. What they didn't expect was that before they could retreat to the rear, they got the general's order to ambush in a hidden place in the city. Forget about these, let's fight as soldiers and perform the tasks assigned by the superiors, which is a matter of course. But with the military order, an airborne captain came over, which made the two very angry.

"Captain, I don't think we're thinking about when to carry out the mission." One of the petty officers continued: "The brothers have not eaten yet, and we have not brought any food. Nowadays, where to get something to eat is the most important thing! ”

Another officer next to him also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, captain." From morning to now, the big guy has eaten a brown loaf. If you can't get food for a while, let alone carry out your mission, it's a question of whether the brothers can walk or not! ”

Hearing the two of them say this, the captain also had a headache. When these two people said this, many of them meant to embarrass themselves. However, they are also telling the truth. From the morning to now, everyone has nibbled on a piece of bread, and his own soldier as a general has been better, and he has eaten several loaves of bread. But until now, I'm a little hungry, not to mention the rest of the creeps. But where are you going to get food now? The general didn't give himself a piece of bread before leaving, and now it's all Beichen Army outside, where can I find something to eat.

In the end, unable to withstand the commotion of his most famous soldiers, the captain still sent a few soldiers, changed into people's clothes, and went out of the cellar to find some food.

Fortunately, since the Beichen Army entered the city, most of the city has not been looted due to physical exhaustion. In addition, most of the soldiers of the Beichen Army are eaten by the dry food they receive, and there is a lot of food in some places in the city. This gave the few soldiers who came out of the cellar the sun and got a lot of food. Among them, in the process of looking for food, I also found many people in the same way, and after some inquiry, the big guys actually came out to find food.

This immediately made the big guy feel extremely helpless, damn, I still have to go to the army on an important mission. As a result, now I have to sneak in to find something to eat, which is simply a cheat. After finding the food, they brought back a lot of it, which brought tears to the eyes of the soldiers who were hiding and could not run around.

By the time the hidden sun had eaten and drunk, the night was already very dark, estimated to be around nine o'clock. At this time, after everyone had a beautiful meal, they began to prepare for the mission.

The captain, who was hiding in the cellar of the tavern, said to the two officers beside him: "In a while, the three of us, each leading thirty people, will each find a target to act. The remaining ten are responsible for maintaining contact between us, as well as with the rest of the forces. When the brethren set the fire, they tried not to engage the Beichen army. Now the city is full of Beichen troops, let's run away after setting fire. Then, according to the plan of the previous general, he ran to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion and hid. After gathering the majority of the brothers, they launched an attack on the castle lord's mansion, understand? ”

"Okay, Captain!" The two of them responded.

"Okay, let's do it now, everyone be careful!"

After speaking, the captain took the lead in leading more than 30 people, quietly climbed out of the cellar, and came to the tavern. As soon as he reached the door, the captain heard a sound of neat footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly hid the soldiers behind him. After about ten seconds, the footsteps became farther and farther away, and the captain also understood that this was the patrol he had met the Beichen Army. For the patrol of the Beichen Army, the captain really didn't dare to move. After looking at it before, there were twenty people in the patrol team of the Beichen Army. They were divided into two parts, with ten people in front and then ten hanging behind.

So I can't go out now, otherwise I will definitely run into the patrol of the Beichen Army. Sure enough, the footsteps from before had just sounded, and footsteps sounded outside the door again.

When the footsteps died down again, the captain slipped into the opposite house with the people. Quietly walking into the house, the captain found that there were no Beichen soldiers resting in the house, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he began to order the soldiers to look for flammable materials in the house, and sprinkled them with sulfur and other items they carried. Then, a small fire fell on top of the flammable material, causing a flame.

When the flames grew louder and louder, the captain hurriedly led his soldiers to the houses on the left and right, and continued the action just now. This was Galahad's plan, to burn the city. After entering the city without 10,000 men and horses before, they immediately dispersed within the city. They piled up a lot of firewood and other burning materials on top of the houses in various parts of the city, and then they made a little bit of it in the house. Later, after the army entered the city, Galahad left his troops in the city with a thousand men, looking for cellars and something to hide. Until now, these people have finally revealed their evil minions.

Because it is the transition of spring and summer, the temperature at night is not very high, and there are often strong winds, which makes many people have to wrap an extra layer of quilt in the middle of the night. However, at this time, because of these frequent cold winds, it has caused a disaster.

More than 1,000 hidden soldiers of the Sun Never Setting Country were divided into ten hundred-man teams, which were hidden near the four city gates and the city lord's mansion. Each team was divided into three groups or two groups to set fires, and in a short period of time, fires were set in more than 20 places throughout the city. When the Beichen army entered the city, they didn't care about the messy thatch on the houses. Originally, they only thought that these were caused by the panic when the sun never sets when the people of the country fled. But now they know that it was all a conspiracy, but it was too late.

When Ma Chao was woken up by the guards, he learned that there was a sudden fire in the city, and there were more than 20 places. In addition, the wind is not small now, and the fire has spread to a small half of the city, or it won't be long before the whole city will become a city of fire. After Ma Chao heard that there were suddenly fires in many places in the city, he immediately felt that this matter was not simple. Because even if the soldier accidentally walked out of the water, it was impossible to walk in more than 20 places in one go. It is clear that this is a galahad conspiracy!

After thinking about it, Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the huge one: "Pass the order, all the soldiers, immediately and quickly go out of the city." Remember, you must keep order, and after you go out of the city, you must also be vigilant to prevent the sun from setting* team attack! ”

The guard said yes and hurried out.

Ma Chao then put on his armor and walked towards the place where the war horse was. Now he has fallen for Galahad's scheme, and Jilahad has arranged this plot to definitely kill his own army. At this time, the city was already burning, and the fire could not be extinguished at all, so it was better to withdraw from the city while it was not completely burning.

By this time, most of the city had turned into a sea of fire, fueled by the wind. The raging flames went straight to the sky dozens of meters high, and the smoke from the fire poured into the sky one after another. Under such a fire, many soldiers of the Beichen Army found themselves surrounded by a sea of fire when they were just awakened. The raging fire instantly pounced on his body, igniting the quilt that covered him. After the quilt was swept by the fire, it directly turned into a ball of fire, sticking to the soldiers' bodies, and they couldn't be knocked off.

There were many more soldiers who, from the moment they woke up, tried to break out of the flames. However, when it comes to passing through the fire, there is no way for the human body to resist it. In addition, most of the soldiers of the Beichen Army are Han Chinese, all of them have long hair, and they sleep in clothes. At the moment of rushing into the fire, the long hair and clothes on the body were immediately ignited, and it became a talisman for the soldiers. By this time, the whole city was in chaos. Most of the soldiers of the Beichen Army fled for their lives under the threat of fire. Even the war horses, which had been concentrated in the clearing, were startled by the raging fire, and one by one they kept stepping on the ground, neighing, trying to get rid of the reins of the horses that were tied to them.

The only fortunate thing is that when the Beichen Army is resting, they all stay in one place to rest. Therefore, after Ma Chao gave the order to withdraw from the city, the remnants of the various troops were quickly assembled. Then, a large number of soldiers untied the reins of their horses and rode quickly towards the surrounding city gates.

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Chao was also dressed in armor and began to prepare to withdraw from the city with more than a hundred guards. However, at this moment, the anomaly protruded. You provide the latest, fastest and most complete free novel updates【】
