The huge Vermilion Bird hovered above Xiangyang Castle, its whole body bright red, burning with raging flames, lighting up the entire night sky.

Everyone looked at the heavenly wonder in horror, wondering where this strange sight came from and where it would end. Only one veteran of Jingzhou in Wei who experienced the Battle of Chibi had a similar memory of this magnificent and strange scene.

It was more than 20 years ago, but the spectacle was different from today's, not a giant firebird hovering in the sky, but a wall of fire surging from the river.

The old soldier suddenly thought of something, and then the vicissitudes of life showed an extremely frightened look on his face, and a powerful fear struck from the bottom of his heart, and he mechanically turned around and whispered to the soldier behind him:

"Silly boy, run, run as far as you can!"

The soldiers behind him thought that the veteran was frightened stupid by the strange scene in the sky, and threw a mocking smile at the veteran, and some even made mocking remarks, saying that the older the veteran was, the less timid he became.

The veteran reluctantly raised his head, and his love for his younger generation made him break through the fear in his heart, and he struggled to pull the Wei soldiers around him, and shouted loudly:

"Fire Phoenix Burning Plain, Fire Phoenix Burning Plain, run for your life! Run for your life! ”

One by one, the veterans dragged the soldiers to take them away, but the soldiers thought the veterans were going crazy and continued to pull with the veterans, and no one paid attention to the veterans' warnings.

Just as everyone was looking at the wonders of the sky and joking with the veteran, the giant flame bird suspended in the sky suddenly let out a long and mournful roar.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see the vermilion birds in the sky burst into the night sky, turning into thousands of sparks, and falling down like rain.

This bursting process is so gorgeous and colorful, it makes everyone feel that it is extremely beautiful, and it can definitely be regarded as the most gorgeous scene I have ever seen in my life.

But gradually, as the flames fell, some people began to realize that this was a real flame, and most of the houses in Xiangyang City were brick and wood structures, where could they withstand the burning of the fire?

At this time, a soldier finally reacted, and what fell was not a gorgeous and colorful picture, but a demon that took people's lives, and at this time, the veteran shouted loudly again:

"Fire Phoenix Burning Plain, Fire Phoenix Burning Plain, run for your life! Run for your life! ”

Finally, this time, everyone believed him and began to retreat desperately.

However, the huge firebird that burst open, and the overflowing flames almost covered half of Xiangyang City, where could it escape in a short time.

Flames fell to the ground, quickly igniting everything in their place, whether it was houses, trees, tents, or anything that could be set on fire. The fire spread rapidly, and the fire intensified, sweeping and engulfing everything in Xiangyang City.

All the soldiers fled in panic, and the people of the city fled from their houses, hurriedly gathered some valuables, and rushed to the gates everywhere.

Xiangyang is a big city, there are more than 100,000 people in the city, once the fire is ignited, it will not distinguish between you are a soldier or a civilian, it will only devour everything mercilessly.

Some city officials also tried to organize people to extinguish the fire, but it soon became clear that the area covered by the fire was so large that all the facilities in the city that were specially set up for arson were a drop in the bucket for the fire.

Soon, everyone gave up extinguishing the fire, thinking only about how to escape from the human purgatory of Xiangyang as soon as possible.

Wen Ping saw that the fire suddenly broke out, and in an instant, it showed a trend of burning the prairies, and the entire Xiangyang City seemed to be set on fire, burning everywhere, and his heart was full of pain.

He sighed in his heart: "This Lu Xun is really vicious, he even used a spell to burn Xiangyang, and even the people in the city did not let go, such an act is no different from a beast." ”

His own soldiers rushed up one after another, wanting to protect Wen Ping's retreat to safety. But Xiangyang was burning everywhere, and it was difficult to find any safe place for a while. So Wen Ping ordered:

"Give up Xiangyang, let all the doors be opened, so as to give the people a chance to escape!"

The soldiers were a little unwilling, the Wei army fought bravely, repelled the Wu army several times its own, and finally achieved the current situation, once it withdrew from Xiangyang, there was nothing.

Wen Ping sighed: "I'm afraid that Xiangyang will turn into a scorched earth, and I can't hold it, so I ordered all armies to break through separately, how much can I live, and the soldiers who broke through the encirclement should retreat to the north and make plans again." ”

The soldiers were reluctant to pass on the order.

The hero did not suffer the immediate loss, and under the cover of his own soldiers, Wen Ping also changed into the clothes of the people, blended in with the fleeing people, and began to flee towards the north gate.

On the way out, Wen Ping kept seeing the people who were entangled in flames, and constantly heard all kinds of heart-rending wails, even if Wen Ping had been in battle for a long time and was used to seeing life and death, but in the face of such a tragic situation, his heart was still very unbearable.

A young man who looked like a mountain of books was set on fire and couldn't put it out, so while giving up saving himself, he pointed to the south and scolded:

"Lu Xun dog thief, brutal and unreasonable, I curse you not to die well!"

The same curses rang out all over the city, and everyone was filled with deep hatred for Wu Jun.

Wen Ping finally followed the crowd to the city gate, but found that there were Wu troops outside the city, staring at the crowd who rushed out of the city gate.

The soldiers were mixed among the people, and the Wu army could not do accurate strikes at all, so they could only shoot together with the people, and with each salvo, a large number of people fell to the ground with arrows.

The people's curses for Wu Jun and Lu Xun became more intense, and this group of people lost all their wealth in the fire, and finally picked up a life and escaped from Xiangyang City, and had to face Wu Jun's ghost gate, and the resentment against Wu Jun in their hearts reached the extreme.

However, Wu Jun was also afraid that the Wei army would escape, so he did not dare to be careless at all, and still strictly carried out the military orders.

The Wu army was very successful, and shot almost all the sergeants wearing armor or Wei army uniforms, which made the young Lu Ju, who was standing beside Lu Xun, very happy, and he reported to Lu Xun excitedly:

"Dadu Governor, Xiangyang City is broken, the 30,000 Wei troops in Xiangyang City are all finished, we have won!"

"Hmm!" Lu Xun just responded vigorously, but did not say anything else, his voice was as calm as water, without any waves.

Lu Ji couldn't help but admire Lu Xun a little more, such a victory, why Lu Xun could be so calm, this concentration was so high, it really made him admire it.

He turned his head and looked at Lu Xun excitedly, but found that the tired look on Lu Xun's face, the original black hair, actually revealed strands of silver on his temples.

Lu Xun, who was in the prime of life, seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

Lu Yu hurriedly asked, "Governor, what's wrong with you?" Why is the color so haggard? ”

Lu Xun did not answer Lu Ju's question, but pointed to the direction of the city gate and said: "Today, I use the Vermilion Bird Treasure Jade to cast the fire phoenix to burn the plain, this move will hurt the heavens and harmony, although it has won a big victory, but it will hurt the heavens and the peace, and it will damage my yang longevity." ”

"The Grand Duke!" Hearing Lu Xun say this, Lu Yi was very shocked.

Lu Xun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, for the sake of the strength of the Wu State, what is my Yangshou?" But today, our army really can't add more killing, so we order the army outside the city to get out of the way and let the people escape! ”

"Yes...... However, in this way, the Wei army will also retreat. ”

"It's okay, the main force of the Wei army has been destroyed, and if you escape a little, it won't affect the overall situation, so give them a way out!" Lu Xun said surgingly.
