Chapter 121: Sea of Fire

After choking a few saliva times, Shu Bai's head was already a little dizzy, and he waved the dagger in his hand indiscriminately, cutting off the aquatic plants but also cutting himself.

The restraints on his feet were loosened, and he hurriedly rushed to the surface of the water with all his strength, but he couldn't lift his strength, and a dizzy feeling filled him.

Wan Jinyue nailed the dagger in her hand into the stone crevice on the shore, and then let go of the log in her arms.

With her free hand she untied the hemp rope that was wrapped around her waist, which had been drawn from the cellar, and was three fingers thick, and looked firm.

She tied one end of the rope to the stones on the shore, and the other end was firmly tied around her own waist.

Taking a deep breath, she plunged into the water.

The woman who barely opened her eyes saw the sinking body of the man not far away, he was still struggling, but he was already a little weak.

The person was still alive, and Wan Jinyue desperately approached Shu Bai.

When she finally arrived in front of her, the woman slashed down with a knife, and the man fainted.

Wan Jinyue, who was out of breath, was forced to choke on the water, and she used her last bit of strength to pull the hemp rope with one hand and Shubai with the other hand to the water.

The moment her head was exposed to the water, she felt as if she had been reborn, and she breathed heavily.

Relieved, she hurriedly dragged Shu Bai and walked along the hemp rope to the shore.

The sound of the water was loud, and the two people who finally got ashore were soaked, Wan Jinyue vigorously pressed the man's belly, and Shu Bai, who spit a few mouthfuls of water, finally came back to his senses.

The smell of river water in my mouth and nose was all over the place, and my ears were buzzing all the time.

Wan Jinyue was also uncomfortable, although she didn't choke a few mouthfuls of water, but she dragged a young man in the water for so long, her arms were uncomfortably sore, and her palms were also worn out by the hemp rope.

A breeze blew, and both of them shivered.

"No rain tomorrow and a north wind?" Although Fu Guang didn't say it directly, he had some doubts in his heart about the truth of Yan Wu's words, this is summer, and the north wind in summer is rare in a hundred years, but it can be regarded as rare for decades.

"Tomorrow there will be a northerly wind, which will last for a long time, and it will last for about an hour." Yan Wu's expression was indifferent, not like a joke.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." It was late at night, and Fu Guang put away the map.

"No need to send it, the general should rest early." Yan Wujing walked out of the house and walked to his small courtyard.

When the sky was just dawning, 6,000 people were already neatly lined up outside the city.

Catapults, ladders...... The snare drum shook the sky, and the first siege began.

Xiao Xuanyu took the lead with a long knife on his shoulder, and approached the city wall of Xuzhou step by step in the rain of arrows.

The arrows of Fu Guang and his party were smeared with pine oil and tied with cotton wool, and there were Dunjia soldiers in front, archers in the middle, and the catapult at the back.

The array is clear and orderly.

The Nanwei army on the city wall had been dealing with it in an orderly manner, but when the flames ignited their clothes, the burning sensation of the fire caused them to mess up.

Liu Xiao didn't think that there were still people in this Kundong who were willing to take the initiative to attack, and they were attacking the city openly during the day.

Large and small stones were carried up the city wall, and more than 10,000 Nanwei troops gathered under the city wall, and they constantly replaced the wounded guards on the city wall, so the fire on the wall never ignited.

Fu Guang looked at the sun, it was almost time, and he didn't know if the north wind would blow.

Xiao Xuanyu and more than 100 people were clinging to the root of the city wall, and they were waiting for Fu Guang's signal to ascend the city.

When the time came, the north wind rose, and the catapult began to throw the jar of liquor on the city wall of Xuanzhou under the instruction of Fu Guang.

A quarter of an hour had passed, and the burning arrows met the flowing liquor, and this time the walls were finally on fire.

With the flag waving, you can climb the city.

Xiao Xuanyu took out the eagle claws on his waist and grabbed the city wall tightly, and he climbed quickly along the long rope.

When he was about to reach the battlement wall, Xiao Xuanyu stopped going up, he took out several porcelain bottles in his arms and threw them on the ground at the head of the city wall.

The dew in the porcelain vase met the flames, and the flames rose six feet high.

The task was completed, and Xiao Xuanyu quickly slid down the rope.

This is the medicine that Yan Wu prepared the day before yesterday, which can make the life of this person worse than death.

And fire is what makes this medicine work to its fullest.

The north wind gusted, and the flames on the city wall inevitably fell in the city of Xuanzhou, and the medicine also spread in the city along the direction of the wind.

In just two quarters of an hour, the Nanwei army was already full of wailing.

There's something wrong with this fire.

Liu Xiao, who had been dealing with it calmly, noticed the abnormality, and this Fu Guang and his party came prepared.

Retreat or hold on?

Liu Xiao quickly judged the situation. This fire is already strong, it will be difficult to control it for a while, and this fire is very weird, and anyone who gets close will feel uncomfortable.

Defending can only be annihilated.

But just retreated, and he was a little unwilling.

Thinking about it, the man strode in the other direction, he was looking for Xue Man's figure.

Erythema, severe pain...... Xue Man was very curious about this disease-causing poison.

A small black figure mingled with the retreating wounded soldiers.

"Do you have any special medicine there?" Liu Xiao came all the way, and he had to avoid the evil fire, and there was already a little sweat on his face at this time.

"There are only medicines that make people weak."

"That's fine, I'll send someone to pick it up with you."

"Going back?" Xue Man, who was originally half-squatting, stood up, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped his hands carefully.

"Almost, go pack up your medicine, I'll have to go to the city wall to see what is going on."

Liu Xiao withdrew after speaking, but found that the entire north side of the city was almost nowhere to stay, the roof was burning, and the ground was also burning.

The remaining soldiers were quickly assembled, and Liu Xiao decided to give up the wounded soldiers, and even brought only half of the grain and grass.

The important baggage is taken away, and the inconsequential is discarded.

After Liu Xiao left a hundred people, the rest of the people quickly withdrew from Xuanzhou City.

The broken soldiers each carried a wooden bucket, the water in which was a little white and muddy, and they wet the entire south city gate, and splashed several houses near the south city gate, before gathering to chase the large army ahead.

The city wall became a sea of fire, and in half an hour, the tide of the battle had taken a shocking turn.

Fu Guangduan sat on horseback and watched the fire burn quietly.

Yan Wupan, who had not played, sat on the ground, and eight white candles were lit around him, and the candlelight was flickering regularly.

Yun Yuan lay at the bottom of the bed staring at the glittering candlelight, she knew that Yan Wu was arranging a formation.

If this candlelight was suddenly extinguished, Yan Wu would not die.

The black cat sneaked out quietly, she took out the fluffy black claws and fanned it hard, and the candlelight behind Yan Wu was extinguished.

The north wind stopped suddenly, and the tongue of fire that was desperately attacking to the south suddenly stagnated.

"It's time to put out the fire." Fu Guang raised his eyes and looked at the sun, this wind did not last for an hour, but it was enough, at least this battle had been won.
