Chapter 69: Burning Luoyang
Luoyang is also an ancient capital, there used to be a dynasty here, there are palaces and mansions in the city, at this moment Luoyang City is depressed, and the city can only occasionally see a team of cavalry passing quickly.
At this moment, the four gates of Luoyang City were wide open, and there was not even a decent defense.
However, above the palace in the city, there is a very conspicuous figure, Chen Zhuo hangs a saber at his waist, and he looks very pretending to be standing on the top of the palace.
At this moment, there is no one near Chen Zhuo, her sister Chen Yuwei is not there, and Gai Liniang is not there.
Soon the smoke and dust were billowing outside Luoyang City, and Sun Julai chased and caught up all the way, and finally came with an army of 50,000 who had long been exhausted.
Chen Zhuo only has more than 1,000 cavalry, this news is no secret, Sun Julai naturally knows it, and in the face of 50,000 troops, even if Chen Zhuo is really a congenital powerhouse of martial arts, he will be consumed to death in the crowd tactics sooner or later.
So seeing that Luoyang was defenseless, Sun Julai didn't think about it and directly ordered the whole army to enter the city, and soon 50,000 troops appeared in Luoyang Palace, and Chen Zhuo was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Sun Julai, the 74th on the world's list, you shouldn't take them into the city." Chen Zhuo stood on the palace and looked condescendingly at a military general wearing gold armor.
"Do you think that with the help of the narrow streets and alleys of Luoyang City, you can use a thousand people to fight against my 50,000 army?" Sun Julai is also a long-time battle-hardened person, and he thinks that Chen Zhuo's superficial thoughts can't be hidden from him at all.
"You don't have to use a knife to kill someone." Chen Zhuo said very forcefully, and when he said this, there were sudden bursts of horses' hooves on the street outside the palace, and thick smoke and fire rose everywhere in Luoyang City.
"Retreat, what a vicious guy, do you want to ruin Luoyang?" Feeling the heat wave that had appeared, Sun Julai looked shocked, he didn't expect Chen Zhuo to be such a ruthless person, and he planned to burn Luoyang to bury the 50,000 army.
It's a pity that when Sun Julai's 50,000 army entered Luoyang, it was too late, and when these people entered the city, the people under Chen Zhuo's command began to pile up the doors and windows prepared in advance at various intersections in an orderly manner, which were not only used to block the road, but also to connect the fire.
Obviously, Chen Zhuo had already made arrangements in advance, and the fire came quickly and fiercely, and the 50,000 army was in chaos in an instant, but the fire was already complete, and there was no water nearby, and the fire was burning more and more, and these 50,000 people could not find a way out at all.
This is Li Yishan's poisonous plan, burning Luoyang to bury 50,000 troops, even if it can't burn all 50,000 people to death, it can make it completely lose its combat effectiveness.
And this 50,000 army is the maximum mobile force that Liang Ji can mobilize, without this army, he can only let the army besieging Jinling retreat to Chang'an in a hurry.
This is indeed a poisonous plan, even inhumane, but it is also war, and if it is war, it is cruel and ruthless.
Sun Julai can't control the life or death of the 50,000 army, now he just wants to kill Chen Zhuo, this fire is nothing to a martial arts powerhouse like him, the 50,000 army can be wiped out, as long as Chen Zhuo is eliminated so that he can't threaten Chang'an, he Sun Julai will be considered successful.
Sun Julai rose directly from the horse's back to the sky, his true qi was in the air to kill Chen Zhuo, this person also used a knife, not the kind of big knife of the military generals on the battlefield, but the treasure knife on the waist.
In an instant, Sun Julai and Chen Zhuo fought on the palace with great momentum, Sun Julai was a master of the Four Realms of True Qi, Chen Julai and outsiders thought that he was an innate powerhouse of martial arts, but in fact, he could only exert the strength of the True Qi Realm without an experience card.
In a simple competition of strength, Chen Zhuo is even inferior to Sun Julai, if it weren't for his exquisite moves and rich combat experience, Chen Zhuo would probably have already shown signs of defeat.
"Hahahaha, I think you are nothing more than that, and you dare to say with Chen Xixuan, the third in the world, that General Ben will behead you in this Luoyang today." Sun Julai became more and more excited, and he found that Chen Zhuo was not as powerful as the legend, and his confidence burst for a while.
Chen Zhuo really can't beat Sun Julai, at least he can't beat without an experience card, but he won't be embarrassed, he seems to be only receiving moves from beginning to end, and he doesn't take the initiative to attack.
Sun Julai was close to Chen Zhuo, it was a desperate way of playing, and suddenly a figure appeared behind Sun Julai, and the timing of this person's appearance, as well as the previous hiding, were very perfect.
At this moment, when Sun Julai put all his energy on the front and wanted to kill Chen Zhuo, he showed a flaw behind him, and the person who suddenly appeared was naturally Gai Liniang.
Gai Liniang has not completely refined Wang Chonglou's rhubarb court, let alone entered the martial arts innate realm, but she has barely reached the cultivation of the three realms of true qi, and she sneaks behind to kill one of the four realms of true qi, and it is also defenseless, basically killing one accurately.
Sure enough, the red sleeve knife in Gai Liniang's hand slid past Sun Julai's strength, and before Sun Julai could react, a good head flew into the sky.
Because Gai Liniang shot too fast, Sun Julai's head flew into the sky, and his eyes saw his headless corpse in gold armor.
Because of the sight of the headless body, Sun Julai's eyes were first puzzled, and then turned into fear, but after fear, there was no life.
"Well done, let the brothers gather outside the city, these people in the city don't care, Yuwei, you move quickly." Sun Julai's corpse and head fell to the ground one after the other, and Chen Zhuo took back 'Watching the Tide 2.0', the first half of the sentence was said to Gai Liniang, and the second half of the sentence was said to Chen Yuwei.
Before Chen Zhuo's words fell, the door of the palace under him that had not yet burned opened, and then Chen Yuwei trotted all the way in front of Sun Julai's headless corpse.
Chen Yuwei had seen too many corpses of all kinds, and the corpse of Sun Julai in front of her would not cause any visual impact to her.
Even Chen Yuwei looked at the corpse with some excitement, and then turned her palm over, and the 'Ten Thousand Soul Flag' rose in the wind when she held it in her hand.
A moment later, a gray chain formed from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, pulling Sun Julai's soul out of the corpse.
Sun Julai's soul is out of his body, and he is still struggling to resist, a martial arts master like him, even if he dies, his will is still alive, and his soul is stronger than ordinary people.
It's a pity that all the struggles were in vain, and soon Sun Julai's soul was sucked into the 'Ten Thousand Soul Banner', and Chen Zhuo noticed that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was already much stronger than when he first saw it.
"Okay brother, we can go on our way." After receiving Sun Julai's soul, Chen Yuwei put away the Ten Thousand Soul Banner with her backhand, and turned to look at Chen Zhuo with an innocent smile.
"Crow's mouth, it's not that you can go on the road, it's that you're on the road again." Chen Zhuo said to his sister a little angrily, of course, he didn't really blame his sister.
Chen Yuwei stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and then she realized that it was a bit unlucky to say such a thing as going on the road.
The city of Luoyang behind him was on fire, and there were endless screams and wails in the raging flames, Chen Zhuo and the thousand-man cavalry regiment turned their backs to Luoyang, but they went farther and farther.
