Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 201 Burning the Army
"Second brother, fourth brother, let's go down and prepare."

The north gate is doomed to be undefendable, so Zhang Ming and the others have to make preparations early.

Li Ru had arranged for the siege team to withdraw, and the casualties were too great.

They used bows and arrows to attack below the city, but when the soldiers climbed up, the bows and arrows below them must stop, otherwise they would kill a large number of their own people.

As soon as the attack here stopped, the crossbow arrows on the top of the city began to show their power.

In fact, Zhang Ming's method could only deal with Dong Zhuo who was unprepared. He hadn't expected it before, so he had to find a batch of siege equipment temporarily.

If there were enough siege equipment, Zhang Ming and the others would not be able to do this.

Zhang Ming, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun came to the top of the city and began to prepare.

The attack continued, Dong Zhuo's side worked hard, the infantry kept charging, and then moved the sandbags away little by little.

Zhang Ming and the others arranged a lot of sandbags, some were soil, some were wood, and some were very light.

There is no place to throw dense sandbags. They just need to flatten the sandbags and then step on them.

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

Zhang Ming and his army blocked the incoming arrows with small wooden shields.

There are a lot of wooden shields, and there are many on the ground. A soldier has four or five wooden shields.

Dong Zhuo's army came layer by layer, flattening the sandbags continuously, and stepped on the sandbags to kill them.

Zhang Ming's counterattack was not strong.

After shooting the crossbow, the soldiers put on the wooden shield, hid and reloaded, and then attacked again.

The army is constantly being compressed.

Dong Zhuo's army grew more and more, and finally thousands of people pressed towards the center.

"It's almost done, let the soldiers prepare the rockets."

Dong Zhuo and the others have flattened most of the sandbags, and if they charge violently next, they will be able to flatten the remaining sandbags.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's side had already paid the price of more than 3000 people.

As for Zhang Ming and the others, even though they were covered by sandbags and wooden shields, they lost hundreds of people.

"The whole army is on horseback, preparing to give Dong Zhuo one last gift."

"Open the gate."

The soldiers on the top of the city also withdrew.

After coming down, Zhang Ming and most of them rode on their horses.

Dong Zhuo and the others did not see that Zhang Ming and his soldiers drenched all the sandbags when they retreated.

When fighting, they don't know why.

The soldiers rushing to the front didn't understand, and they couldn't react to the rear in time.

All the sandbags were soaked and even the sandbags with a lot of sand seeped through.

The city gate opened slowly.

"They really wanted to run, and asked the soldiers to quickly push down the obstacles and prepare to rush over."

In the distance, Dong Zhuo saw the city gate open and knew that Zhang Ming was about to flee.

So, he ordered them to attack quickly, so that Zhang Ming could not escape.

Zhang Ming and the others gave up all defenses, and the soldiers mounted their horses.

In the end, there were three or four obstacles, and the enemy was ordered to rush over.

Zhang Ming looked at the rushing army and said with a sneer, "Dong Zhuo, you will feel heartache."

Zhang Ming waved his hand forward and ordered, "Let the arrows go."

Immediately, rows of rockets flew away.

"Boom~"

When the arrow arrived, the ground immediately burst into flames.

The fire quickly spread, engulfing thousands of troops.

It turned out that when Zhang Ming and the others retreated, all that fell was gasoline and diesel.

Only a part of the sandbags are filled with sand, and many behind them are filled with dry firewood.

Even if it is sandy soil, if you pour a lot of gasoline, it can burn.

"Ah~"

"Fire fire."

"How can there be fire, how can there be fire."

The fire engulfed thousands of people at once.

They couldn't rush forward, Zhang Ming and the others were still attacking with arrows, and there were still obstacles on the ground.

After shooting a few rounds of arrows, there was a sea of ​​flames ahead, and no one trapped in the middle of the fire was bound to be able to escape.

The city gate just opened wide, and Zhang Ming and the others rushed out.

Outside the city, there was also Dong Zhuo's army, but they were still climbing the city, preparing to attack the top of the city.

Outside the city, Zhang Liao waited with an army of 3000 people. This was arranged by Li Ru to intercept the army leaving the city.

But at this moment, Zhang Liao did not move.

This is too weird, how could there be a sudden fire in the city, and the flames are so high.

Zhang Liao saw that Zhang Ming and the others had a pair of bows and crossbows, obviously ready.

Originally, it was expected that there would not be too many troops escaping. How did they know that Zhang Ming and the others were the main force coming out.

Zhang Ming saw that Zhang Liao's army hadn't pursued him, so he didn't attack.

Hurry up and go to Hulaoguan.

In the city, it is a hell on earth at this time.

Dong Zhuo stared blankly at all this, he didn't understand why these sandbags could catch fire, and the fire started out of thin air, engulfing the army in one fell swoop.

"Ah~"

Dong Zhuo yelled, feeling very sad and indignant.

Na Lu Bu's face was black and black, two-thirds of the army here belonged to him.

This swallowed more than 3000 people, plus the army lost in the previous attack.

This time, his army will suffer huge losses.

Lu Bu's eyes were red, and he roared, "Zhang Ming, I must kill you."

The army in the city was afraid, and they retreated a long way, fearing that the fire would also burn them.

The troops that entered the middle of the fire barely escaped.

It is very difficult for a large army to retreat, not to mention that the fire is so high that there is not enough air inside for them to survive.

Crowded, many fell to the ground and rolled, unable to stand, let alone run.

Zhang Ming ran away, and he had planned long ago to trick Dong Zhuo.

This time the result was not bad, at least [-] of their troops were killed.

"Brother, does this Dong Zhuo dare to chase after him?" Zhao Yun asked on horseback when everyone was quite relaxed.

"It will definitely be. Hulao Pass is the most important thing. Dong Zhuo didn't have any extra troops to control before. Now he will definitely come."

Zhang Ming and the others galloped for a day and ran into Zhuzi and the others.

"Zhuzi, you lead people into the city for a sneak attack at night, and leave the city after killing them. Don't love to fight."

Zhang Ming asked Zhuzi and the others to go to Luoyang for a sneak attack.

As for how to get in?Very simple, Zhang Ming also burned the north gate of the city.

It's all within plan.

Zhuzi and the others hurried.

But Zhang Ming and the others ran wildly for a long time, and finally arrived at Hulao Pass.

At this time, Xu Huang was urgently building defenses.

"Gongming, collect more firewood and prepare to fill the entire Hulao Pass."

Xu Huang didn't ask why, and went to do it right away.

After arriving at Hulao Pass, Zhang Ming secretly made a lot of cement at night, and then asked the soldiers to move back.

After they got it back, Zhang Ming taught them how to make a lot of concrete blocks and set up a lot of obstacles.

The function of these concrete piers is only to prevent the enemy's horses from running.

Most of the troops in Xiliang and Bingzhou were cavalry.

"Brother, this Dong Zhuo must be going to die of anger, their army will come soon." After Guan Yu settled the soldiers down, he came to report to Zhang Ming.

"It will come soon, I reckon, in about three days."
