The flames rose, and under the sun, tongues of fire scurried everywhere mercilessly devouring the camp tents of Cao Wei's army and the mountains of various military supplies.

Some Cao Wei soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the fire tried to put out the fire, but in the blink of an eye, they became the target of the Shu army soldiers who had withdrawn to the periphery.

Zhang Shao led a hundred archers to set up a death barrier on Sima Yan's way back, and several ironclad warriors who rushed in front fell off their horses.

A feather arrow even pierced the helmet cherry blossom on the top of Sima Yan's head, like a long hairpin lying there.

Although Zhong Tian struggled forward and finally broke through the defense line of the Shu army, the scorching waves were like a red-hot sword, forcing him to retreat.

"Master Hou, the fire is so fierce that you can't get close."

Sima Yan's hands gripped the reins of the war horse, and a pair of eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire.

"Where is Lord Hao Yi?"

"Lord Hou, Lord Hao Yi was seriously injured and has now been moved to safety." A soldier whose clothes had been charred said to Sima Yan with a limp leg.

Seeing his camp burned down, Sima Yan had no choice but to turn around and command with a gloomy face, "Take Master Hao Yi with you, and we will continue to retreat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yan found that there was no need to give this order, a large number of Cao Wei's defeated army swarmed over, and not far behind him, the Shu Han warriors commanded by Liu Yong swept like the sea at high tide, and everywhere he passed, there were the screams of Cao Wei's army.

"Master Hou quickly leave with me." Zhong Tian grabbed Sima Yan's war horse with one hand and tore the reins, leaned over and galloped forward, but he didn't run a few steps before he suddenly stopped.

An arrow hit Sima Yan's horse in the eye, and with a wail, the horse fell to the ground, and Sima Yan was also thrown out.

"General Zhong doesn't need to care about me, organize men and horses to resist the pursuers." Sima Yan jumped up from the ground and shouted with his sword.

The fire in front of him and the pursuers behind him had knocked down all the courage of Cao Wei's army, and at this time, it was almost impossible to gather the remnants of the army to resist.

Zhong Tian naturally knew this, and he didn't have the time and energy to care about the life and death of others.

After hanging up the long knife, Zhong Tian leaned over on the horseback and grabbed the animal belt around Sima Yan's waist, and pulled him onto his horse.

There were not many guards left who were originally guarding Sima Yan's side, and everyone retreated backwards while holding their shields high to block Sima Yan.

Fortunately, he didn't run far, and Hao Yi, who had a bandage on his head, led a group of men and horses to rush out from the side of the road, barely slowing down the pursuit of the Shu army.

Sima Yan and the others escaped for more than 20 miles in one breath before they got rid of the pursuers.

It was not until it got dark that Liu Yong and Zhang Shao's men and horses got together, and surrounded Cao Wei's soldiers, who had not had time to escape, on a small hill overgrown with wild grass.

"With so many Wei troops, if you stay, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future." Zhang Shao said.

Liu Yong looked up at the dense crowd on the mountain bag and thought for a moment.

"You can shout along the foot of the mountain, if you wish to surrender, please go down the mountain by yourself, I will not kill in vain." Liu Yong finally relented and commanded.

After a long time, scattered soldiers began to run down the mountain, but this situation did not last long before arrows were shot down from the mountain, and several soldiers who had already run halfway up the mountain were killed.

"Thief, never stay." Zhang Shao said.

Qi Zhen looked at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be still thinking about countermeasures.

Qi Zhen rose for a moment, took a freshly lit torch from a soldier, and threw it vigorously in the direction of the top of the mountain.

By this time, late autumn had passed, and the hillside was littered with rotting leaves and dead branches that had lost their moisture, and even the weeds, which were still stubbornly showing their last green touches, had lost their resistance to the flames.

As the torches fell, a flame rose, and then, something even more frightening happened, those Shu soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain thought that Liu Yong was going to set fire to the mountain, for a while, countless torches were thrown up the hillside, in the night, like a star that suddenly fell from the sky, the moment it landed quickly connected in one place, almost in the blink of an eye, has drawn a huge image of the fire dragon on the hillside.

"Guard the mountain pass, and don't let go of a Wei soldier."

Qi Zhen's actions made Zhang Shao excited, and he immediately called in all the archers to stop the Wei army that tried to rush down the mountain.

"General Zhang Shao can't be killed." Liu Yong shouted.

"Quickly take Your Majesty to the back to rest in case the enemy counterattacks." Zhang Shao knew that with Liu Yong here, it would be difficult for him to spread his hands and feet, so he said to Qi Zhen, afraid that Liu Yong would not leave, and added, "I think Sima Yan is not an idle person, and I need to beware of chaos in his city." ”

Zhang Shao's words reminded Liu Yong.

"Anyone who is willing to surrender must not be killed." Liu Yong had no choice but to instruct Zhang Shao again, and then led the rest of the men back to the city.

This fire even exceeded the scale when it burned down the camp of Cao Wei's army, and the air was filled with the stench of charred corpses.

It is impossible to calculate how many people died in the fire.

When the day was about to dawn, the fire gradually weakened, and Zhang Shao led the Shu army to pack up all the weapons left by the Wei army on the mountain and left.

The battlefield that suddenly fell silent exuded an incomparably terrifying aura in the blood and devastation.

At the foot of the mountain, behind a boulder, a human head with charred hair slowly poked out.

He was like a wild wolf being chased by hunters, vigilantly observing the movements around him with the horror and helplessness of being injured.

It was a small natural cave that could only accommodate one person, and if it hadn't been for the boulder that had just blocked the entrance to the cave, the fire would have burned it to death.

Even so, the scorching heat of the fire and the billowing smoke had almost suffocated him.

Seeing that there was no movement around him, he crawled out of the cave with great difficulty, sat down on the burned dark ground, and gasped for air.

It was not far from the burned Cao Wei camp.

The man got up from the ground and limped towards the cold ashes.

He stopped in front of a pile of ash that was noticeably larger than the others.

In front of the ash pile were two charred corpses curled up in the shape of a bow, and it was no longer possible to distinguish what they looked like before they died.

"Love, love concubine!" The man screamed and sat down on the ground.

This person is Sima Banru.

When Zhang Shao led people to suddenly attack, Sima Banru escaped from the tent as soon as possible.

Since there were very few Cao Wei soldiers left here, there was only one guard in front of the gate, and when the Shu army rushed into the camp, he ran to meet the enemy, which allowed Sima Banru to hide behind the big tent very smoothly.

According to his idea, as long as the two sides fight, he will have a chance to escape with Duan'er and Wei Qing'er.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the two sides came into contact, an overwhelming array of crossbow arrows would be fired from all directions, and the front of these crossbow arrows had already been ignited, and as soon as they touched the thick curtain of the tent, they immediately burst into flames.

By the time he realized that something was wrong and wanted to take Duan'er away, the entire tent had been engulfed in flames.

Although he was very sad in his heart, he soon wanted to open it, he was still a dignified Marquis of Yicheng, and he would not die in this catastrophe, so why worry about not having a future blessing.
