Looking at the hundreds of sergeants who were put down from the jack gate of the city gate and were blocked out and fled back in horror, Cheng Yu's face became extremely ugly, he knew that he had failed this time.

In this battle of wit, he lost to Jia Xu, and the price of his loss was the 6,000 people who had already entered the urn!

"Governor, go, go!" Chong Kun's face was extremely pale, he screamed loudly, hit the horse and turned around and ran.

After planning for so long, I finally waited for such an opportunity, but in the end it failed so inexplicably.

Although Cheng Yu was lost, his thinking was not chaotic, and the cruel reality of failure made his mind clearer than ever.

At this time, he knew that he had to firmly control the remaining less than 4,000 people in order to have a chance to turn the book, so he immediately ordered loudly: "All the soldiers obey the order, and the whole army retreats!" ”

"Retreat!"

In the urn city, when the last sergeants who had just entered the city found that the jack gate behind them had fallen, they had a bad premonition, and some people shouted: "Medium plan, middle plan!" ”

The news of the plan quickly spread from the back, to the middle, and to the front, and more than 6,000 people all panicked, panicking one by one.

Huang Yi waved his hand with a cold face and gave the order: "Begin!" ”

A herald next to him sent someone to the highest floor of the tower, raised a torch, and waved it three times in succession.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the defending army who had received the order threw firewood, grass and branches, sticks and wood from the city wall into the urn city, and a large number of flammable materials were thrown into the urn city, which made Wang Fang and others trapped in the urn city even more frightened.

Looking at this posture, Wang Fang and the others knew that the defenders were clearly going to burn them all alive, and in a hurry, Wang Fang cried loudly: "Surrender, I'll surrender, don't throw it away!" ”

The other sergeants were also infected by the king's actions and cried for surrender, and many threw down their weapons and even knelt on the ground and cried for surrender.

"What's the chief, they threw down their weapons and surrendered, are they still throwing down this firewood and grass?" A sergeant on the wall asked his chief.

Shi Chang scolded: "Do what you are told!" ”

"Oh!"

The sergeants could only continue to throw firewood, grass and other flammable materials underneath.

On the city tower, a captain couldn't look past it, walked up to Huang Yi and hugged his fists and said: "General, the rebels have the intention of surrendering, it's better to ······"

Huang Yi turned his head and glared at the captain, "The military order is like a mountain, and the consequences of violating the order, will you bear it, or will I bear it?" ”

The lieutenant bowed his head and stepped aside.

Huang Yi sighed in his heart, he didn't want to do this, this order was given by Jia Xu, during Qin Feng's absence in Chang'an, the military advisor Jia Xu had the supreme command, he didn't want to be beheaded by Jia Xu for violating the military order.

After throwing away firewood, grass and other flammable materials, the defenders began to scoop up a scoop of fire oil from their buckets and splash it on the heads of the rebels in the urn city, like fire oil falling from the sky.

"General, everything is done!" A lieutenant reported to Huang Yi with a fist.

Huang Yi took a torch from a sergeant next to him, walked to the battlement, and threw it directly into the first urn city.

Immediately after that, the other sergeants threw their torches into the urn city, and in an instant, a sea of fire formed in the urn city, and the flames rose to the sky.

Then the second urn city and the third urn city also turned into a sea of fire one after another, and the rebels in the fire were burned one by one, staggering and dancing in the sea of fire, screaming and howling in pain.

At this moment, inside this urn city, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a human purgatory, and the miserable and cruel picture makes the defenders on the city wall unbearable to look at directly.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the temperature around them rose sharply, and the defending sergeants on the city wall near the inner battlements could not stand the heat, and retreated to the outer battlements to avoid the heat and the smell of burnt meat.

The raging fire in the urn city was still burning, but the terrible screams and roars had gradually disappeared.

Outside the city.

"Retreat, retreat!" Cheng Yu rode a horse and kept urging the remaining less than 4,000 sergeants to leave Chang'an quickly.

Zhou Wei rode a horse to Chong Kun's side and asked loudly: "Chonggong, how did things become unexpected?" 10,000 horses, most of them were lost in the blink of an eye, and General Wang and others were folded in, how is this good? ”

Chong Kun sighed: "The old man doesn't know the specific situation, but it can only be that there is something wrong with Wu Xi!" ”

Wang Ling also looked dead, and he asked Cheng Yu: "Dudu, where are I going to retreat now?" ”

Cheng Yu said calmly: "The top priority is to return to Chiyang first and then make plans!" ”

In less than half an hour, the army came to the edge of Weishui and was about to cross the river.

At this time, the faint sound of horses' hooves came, and Cheng Yu and the others sensed that something was wrong, and stopped their horses.

In the darkness, a loud shout came from the darkness on the right side of the south bank: "Huang Zhong is here, and the rebel general will not quickly dismount and die!" ”

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

In the darkness of the night, countless shouts of killing came from all directions.

The remaining less than 4,000 rebel sergeants were frightened one by one, and the only way out at this moment was the Weishui Bridge in front, where did Cheng Yu, Chong Kun and all the rebels still have the courage to fight at this moment, and they rushed to the Weishui Bridge.

The rebel sergeants who couldn't squeeze into the Weishui Bridge had to pounce directly into the Weishui, one by one like dumplings.

Thousands of rebels were driven into the water like ducks by the Flame Army in the darkness, and a few tried to escape to the north bank through the Weishui Bridge, but since Huang Zhong had set up an ambush here, how could he leave them a way out?

On the north bank of the Weishui Bridge, there were already hundreds of neat formations, waiting for the Flame Army sergeants at the bridgehead, a number of neat rows of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen, followed by several rows of archers, and the rebel sergeants who escaped came to die one by one, and two to die a pair.

The people in front rushed forward desperately, and the people behind pushed and squeezed desperately forward, and after a while, the corpses at the bridgehead were piled up.

The rebels who were blocked on the bridge saw that there was no way forward, and there were pursuers behind them, some chose to drop their weapons and knelt down to surrender, and some jumped directly over the bridge guardrail into the rolling eastward Weishui.

Although the peak of the flood season has passed, the flood season is not over, the water level is much higher than usual, the water flow is very fast, and the fate of these landlubbers in the north jumping into such a rapid river can be imagined.

Early in the morning, countless Flame Army sergeants searched on both sides of the Weishui River, and there were many corpses and dying rebel sergeants lying on the river beach, like dead fish stranded one by one, stretching for dozens of miles.

The bodies of the dead sergeants were collected and buried, and those who were not dead were taken care of one by one, and then escorted to Chang'an City by a team.

Inside the west gate of Chang'an City, in the urn city, although the fire has long been extinguished, there is still a bad smell of burnt here. Countless defenders were busy carrying the burned corpses to the carts to be pulled outside the city for burial.
