Chapter 162: Fear
What about people? Could it be that you have already run ahead of schedule?
That's not right! How could the Qin people know that the Xiongnu and the Yue clan would go south, and they would leave early.
However, looking at the empty streets in the city, a man from the Yue clan couldn't explain why all the Qin people in the city had disappeared.
Just when a man of the Tsuki clan was crowded on the streets of the city, puzzled.
Just as outside the other city gates, the Yue Clan's army looked at the closed city gate and surrounded Gaonu City.
Inside the city.
Several Yue's men walked along the empty houses all the way to the city ladder, looking at the blocked city ladder with a puzzled expression.
Several men looked at each other with curiosity, and one of the Yueshi men came to the city staircase, reached out and touched the black liquid on the wooden shelf, and sniffed it.
Just as I was about to speak.
Suddenly, the man saw black smoke suddenly rising from the castle tower, and black smoke also drifted out of other places on the castle tower.
"Qin Guotie who was in Gaonu rode before"
Princess Yangjin was asking the people of Qin brought by her subordinates to ask about the whereabouts of the Bai clan's iron horse, but before she finished speaking, she saw that suddenly there was black smoke on the city wall.
Seeing this scene, not to mention Princess Yangjin, it was Toumanshan Yudu who looked at it suspiciously.
The next moment.
Under the gaze of Princess Yangjin and Tou Manshan Yu, suddenly at the gate of the city, the Yue Clan's army that poured into the city was suddenly smashed to the ground by huge wooden barrels and wooden frames on it.
With a loud noise, the city gate was in a panic, and the men of the Yue clan who did not enter were forced to withdraw.
Before Princess Yangjin and Touman Shan Yu could react, they saw a few fiery red things suddenly fall from the city gate.
In an instant.
The Yue's people who had just been knocked down were all on fire.
Accompanied by the screams, even some of the Yue people who were not smashed were instantly burned to their bodies by the flames, and they kept screaming and running wildly.
"Ahh
"Ahh
With a miserable wail, looking at the chaos at the city gate, whether it was Princess Yangjin or Touman Shan Yu, they immediately thought of an ambush.
However, when I thought about it, it was too late.
Inside the city road on the wall of Gaonu.
An iron cavalry general wearing Qin armor drew his sword and ordered.
In an instant, a famous Qin official who had been hiding in the city road took a torch and got up and threw it towards the wooden house in the city.
And an iron cavalry soldier wearing Qin armor and holding a bow and crossbow who was originally squatting also got up one after another, pointed the arrow with the tip of the arrow on fire, pointed it at the wooden house, and pulled the trigger.
Outside in.
In the frightened gaze of countless Yueshi people at the city gate, the chaotic torches, one after another, with rockets, all fell on the wooden house, and all the nearby houses instantly burst into flames.
The fire grew from small to large, spreading to other houses at a rapid pace.
"Run!"
"Run!"
When the city is empty and there is nothing to plunder, when there is an ambush on the city wall, the excitement recedes, reason returns to the mind, and with it, horror.
As long as they are not stupid, seeing this scene, every Yue clan member knows that the people in the city want to set fire to them.
and the city burned down together!!
All the Yueshi people panicked, and every Yue's face was full of fear, and every Yue's people scrambled to leave the city.
However, the fire at the gate of this city wall was already burning more vigorously than the inside of the city.
Looking at the city road above the city gate, a famous Qin person kept throwing wooden barrels downward, and dozens of Yue clan people, including war horses, were burned by the flames, and then let out a miserable scream.
Looked at.
How happy they were when they went south, how excited they were when they entered the city, how desperate the people of the Yue clan were at this moment.
Looking around, as far as the naked eye could see, all the houses were in flames, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the fire spread at an extremely fast speed, and the Yueshi people crowded together in the city were all in chaos.
Seeing that the north city gate could no longer leave, and seeing that the fire was already close at hand, all the Yue clan people had to start pouring towards the city, wanting to break through from the other city gates.
However, at this moment, in the city, with thick smoke rising from the direction of the city wall, an old man with white hair popped out of nowhere in the city.
The old men were of different ages, but without exception, all of them were dressed in coarse cloths, and in their wrinkled palms, they all held a burning torch from their own house, and then ran out of the house, and in front of the Yueshi people on the street, they carried the torch to the opposite house.
The consequence of these emaciated old men doing this is naturally to be killed by the Yue's people.
However, the house where the old man came out had already begun to burn into flames, getting bigger and bigger, and constantly spreading to the surrounding houses.
If at the beginning, the fire spread from the city wall inward, then at this time, because of these old men, all parts of the city have begun to burn raging, spreading from the inside out.
On the head of the city of Gaonu.
Like the other Iron Cavalry generals, Jiang Shang held the Qin Sword in his hand and stood in the middle of the city road, his eyes looking at the raging fire in the city.
Watching the houses burn one by one, the fire was higher than the house, and it continued to spread towards the city, Jiang Shang knew that like the mountain and forest fires, no one could stop the fire in the city at the moment.
"Ahh
"Ahh
Jiang Shang listened to the screams of countless Yue clan people in the city, turned around and walked in the direction of the other side of the city.
After a few steps, he came to the city wall, standing beside a famous iron cavalry soldier, Jiang Shang, wearing Qin armor, looked straight at the Hun army outside the city, crowded with people.
Outside the city of Gaonu.
Princess Yangjin of the Yue Clan saw a famous iron knight at the head of the city, looking at the thick smoke in the sky, she immediately understood that the Qin people wanted to set fire to the city, along with all the Yue people in the city.
Since she was a child, Princess Yangjin, who was rarely afraid, felt fear for the first time.
Tens of thousands of people were burned, along with a city, she had never seen anyone so ruthless!
Are the Qin people crazy? There are so many people of Qin in the city.
Wrong!
Since the Qin people dare to burn the city, then maybe from the beginning, there are no Qin people in the city!
Come to think of it.
Princess Yangjin doesn't know where she doesn't know that at this moment, there may only be tens of thousands of people from the Yue tribe in the city!!
"Siege the city and save people!"
Princess Yangjin listened to the miserable wails of the people in the city, her eyes were red, and she turned her head and ordered her subordinates to climb the city and save people.
As Princess Yangjin's words fell, the people of the Yue tribe began to act.
At this moment, Princess Yangjin had only one doubt in her mind, why did the Qin army know that the army of the Yue clan and the Xiongnu would go south, why the Qin people had already left in advance, and why the Qin army had already laid an ambush here.
With doubts, Princess Yangjin turned her head, listened to the miserable voices of the people in the city, and looked at Touman Shan Yu in the distance with beautiful eyes.
The person who proposed to unite to the south was none other than Touman Danyu.
And at this moment, Touman Shan Yu looked at the city tower with a shocked face, and Tou Man Shan Yu didn't expect that there would be an ambush here in Gaonu.
Moreover, the people who ambushed even planned to burn Gaonu City directly.
"Shan Yu! What are we going to do? ”
Not only Touman Danyu, but also the other Huns, at this moment, saw the huge black smoke rising in the city, and their eyes were full of fear.
Seeing that the gate of the city was full of huge flames, it was only at this time that a famous Hun man in the Xiongnu army suddenly recalled that among the previous tribes, those who advocated not to provoke the Qin State had said that the Qin people were not easy to provoke.
Moreover, the Zhao State that defeated them before was killed by the Qin State by hundreds of thousands just a few decades ago.
The general of the Qin State who was the leader was named Bai Qi!
And the iron cavalry army stationed in Shangjun is the Bai clan's iron cavalry, and the generals are all descendants of the Qin general Bai Qi.
The Huns should not be provoked.
"Quick, water, use water to extinguish the fire!"
"Water, take out all the water and put out the fire!"
Listening to the countless shouts, a Hun looked at the huge black smoke rising from the city, and then watched the panicked Yue tribe in the distance keep bringing water to the city gate to extinguish the fire.
All the Huns were glad in their hearts that they did not enter the city.
Otherwise, they are the ones who are in the city now and will be burned to death!
"Not good! Sangia! You immediately lead the people of your tribe to defend the Qianshan Pass, the Yunshan Pass! ”
Tou Manshan looked at the Qin soldiers on the head of the city, without the slightest fear, and immediately thought that since the Qin army had ambushed here in advance, there must still be a backhand, and they might have even surrounded them here.
Tou Mandan's forehead was full of cold sweat at this moment.
Looking at the tens of thousands of people from the Yue Clan tribe in the city in front of him, all trapped in the city and all about to be burned to death, Tou Manshan thought that it was likely that behind them, the Qin army was ready to cut off their back road.
"Sangia obeys!"
Sanjia, who had been on the side, hurriedly rode away after hearing Toumandanyu's words, and returned along the same road with more than 10,000 people from the tribe.
After watching Sangia leave, Tou Manshan Yu turned his head to look at Princess Yangjin in the distance.
At this time, Tou Manshan Yu noticed that Princess Yangjin had been staring at him.
When Tou Manshan saw this scene, he still didn't understand that now tens of thousands of people from the Yue tribe were trapped in the city in the fire, and Princess Yangjin was already suspicious of him.
Thinking that there has always been friction between the Yueshi and the Xiongnu, and now that the two tribes are finally united, there must be no doubts at this time, otherwise they will not be able to continue to go south at all, and no one will trust each other.
Touman Shan Yu knew that without the Yue clan and relying on the Xiongnu tribe alone, he would not be able to break through the defense line of Shangjun of Qin State at all.
However, just as he was about to defend himself, suddenly, Tou Manshan Yu found that the Qin army on the city tower had disappeared as if they had been ambushed before.
