Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

South of Chang'an City, granary.

Xiahou Jie was riding his horse between the dome granaries, inspecting whether there were any safety hazards such as fire.

The sounds of killing coming from the east of the city made him absent-minded, and he looked east from time to time.

He naturally knew that at this time the Han army was launching an unprecedentedly fierce attack on the east gate.

"I don't know what the situation is like at the East Gate. Your Majesty, if you are in charge, I think you can stop the attack of the big-eared thieves."

"If we can't stop them, and the Han army rushes into the city, what should we do..."

The more Xiahou Jie thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he couldn't help but shudder.

After taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing his worries, Xiahou Jie snorted coldly:

"The walls of Chang'an are high and thick, and there are more than 10,000 reserve troops in the city. Your Majesty is here in person, and Uncle Zilian and other powerful generals of the Qin Dynasty are all here. I don't believe that the big-eared thief can break through my east gate!"

After being comforted and encouraged by nature, Xiahou Jie's panic faded a little, and he continued to inspect the granary, thinking about doing his part well and making a contribution to defending Chang'an.

Sudden.

There was a sudden loud sound of killing coming from the direction of Kumen, as if troops were suddenly attacking.

Xiahou Jie's face changed immediately, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The granary is an important place, why are there sudden attacks from troops?

Could it be that the Han army has already breached Chang'an City and has attacked the granary?
"Impossible! The Han army has only been attacking the city for less than an hour. How could they break through the city so quickly?"

"My Qin army cannot be so vulnerable, absolutely not!"

Xiahou Jie suppressed his panic and rode his horse straight to the warehouse.

When he arrived, the warehouse gate had been breached and the soldiers guarding the granary were being killed and forced to retreat step by step.

Those attacking soldiers were not Han troops, but Qin troops in uniform!

However, all of these Qin soldiers had red gauze wrapped around their arms!
"This, this, this..."

Xiahou Jie was completely stunned. He stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to react. He thought he had made a mistake.

Until he saw a familiar figure riding a horse and brandishing a sword, charging forward and killing his soldiers crazily.

"Pound?"

Xiahou Jie recognized the general and his face changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.

Then he glared at me, rode forward, and shouted:
"Pound, are you crazy? Why did you let your troops attack my granary?"

"Are you planning to rebel?"

Pang De, who was killing indiscriminately, looked up and recognized Xiahou Jie at a glance.

Kill this thief and end this battle as quickly as possible!

As soon as Pang De thought of this, he didn't say a word, dragged his bloody sword, pushed away the Qin soldiers who were blocking his way, and rushed towards Xiahou Jie on the bloody road.

"Pound, what do you want to do, you, you——"

Seeing Pang De rushing towards him, Xiahou Jie suddenly panicked. He picked up a knife, pointed at Pang De and shouted in a trembling voice.

"You're right, I'm the rebel!"

Pang De roared like thunder, and the bloody knife in his hand swept out with the force of a storm.

Xiahou Jie was horrified, and when he wanted to ask again, Pang De's figure appeared before him like an iron tower.

The bloody knife slashed across the waist, as fast as lightning and as powerful as a landslide.

"not good…"

Xiahou Jie cried out inwardly, but it was too late when he wanted to draw his sword to block.

"Crack!"

He cut her in half with one blow.

Xiahou Jie's body was cut into two pieces, and each fell off his horse.

Kill instantly with one knife!

The more than a thousand Qin soldiers guarding the granary were frightened by Pang De's bravery when they saw their commander being killed, and they scattered in panic.

More than 5,000 Xiliang rebels rushed into the granary with overwhelming force. Pang De stopped his horse in front of the square and pointed his long sword:
"Pass on my order. Set fire everywhere and burn all the Qin army's food and grass!"

"Don't leave me even a grain of rice!"

When the order was given, the soldiers of Xiliang picked up torches, rushed to the granaries and started setting fires crazily.

Just when less than a dozen granaries were set on fire, Li Kan rode over on horseback and shouted:

"Brother Pang, a large number of Qin troops appeared on the main street in the north. It should be Cao Hong who brought the reserve troops to rescue the granary!"

"We must quickly go and form a battle formation to fight against the Qin army."

Pang De was unmoved and shouted in a deep voice:

"First, focus on burning the grain. When the enemy is ten steps away, counterattack and break out of the granary!"

Li Kan was startled, Pang De was going to burn his boats.

If we turn back to fight the enemy now, we will delay the process of setting fire to the grain. If we fail to fight the enemy and the Qin army rushes into the granary, we will have a chance to put out the fire.

If they took a step back, the Qin army would at least have a chance to rescue some of the grain and avoid the burning of hundreds of thousands of hu of grain in the granary.

As long as the stored grain in Chang'an City is not burned out, the morale of the Qin army will not completely collapse, and Cao Cao will be able to hold on until the grain and grass urgently transferred from Yizhou and Longxi arrive.

In this battle, we must ensure that all the food and grass are burned!
Li Kan understood Pang De's intention, gritted his teeth and shouted:

"What are you waiting for? Go set fire to it! Burn it!"

The soldiers on both sides hurriedly lit torches and joined the team in burning the grain. Pang De dismounted from his horse and started burning the grain himself.

at last.

Hundreds of granaries were set on fire, and the entire granary was engulfed in flames.

"Ling Ming, the Qin army is about to reach the granary. If we don't go out to resist the enemy, we will be trapped in this sea of ​​fire and burn to death!"

Cheng Yin rode his horse at full speed and shouted at Pang De in an urgent manner.

Pang De jumped on his horse, swung his bloody knife, and said sternly:
"My fellow men of Xiliang, we have no way to retreat. If you don't want to be burned to death, follow me and kill us!"

Pang De took the lead and rushed forward like a god of war.

More than 5,000 Xiliang soldiers, with the belief of survival and the roars and shouts like trapped beasts, rushed towards Kumen.

Outside the granary.

More than 7,000 Qin soldiers were rushing towards the granary along the main street.

"We must get there, we must get there, we must not let that traitor Pang De burn down the granary..."

Cao Hong ran all the way, praying non-stop.

After Pang De let him go, he sent someone to inform Cao Cao, and at the same time went straight to another reserve army camp, gathered 7,000 reserve troops, and went straight to the granary.

His only wish at this moment was that Xiahou Jie could hold on a little longer until he could lead his troops to attack Pang De and the 5,000 Xiliang rebels from both inside and outside and annihilate them on the spot.

"There's a fire. There's a fire in the granary—"

The guards beside him screamed, waking Cao Hong from his begging.

Cao Hong looked up suddenly and saw a raging fire above the granary in front of him.

"Damn, is it too late?"

Cao Hong was horrified, and he twitched his horse wildly, shouting:

"Quick, quick, go to the granary to put out the fire. We must not let the rebels burn down the granary—"

The 7,000 Qin soldiers were also anxious. After all, the food stored in the granary was related to their lives. If it was burned, they would starve to death.

So they rushed along the main street like crazy, recklessly.

Just as they rushed to the outside of the granary, thousands of Xiliang rebels rushed out of the granary that was on fire like wild horses, and rushed towards them fearlessly.

The leading general, holding a long sword in his hand and with unparalleled power, is Pang De!

"Kill the traitor Pang, kill him, kill him—"

Cao Hong's eyes instantly filled with bloodshot, the blade pointed at Pang De, and he roared like a beast. (End of this chapter)
