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

On the top of the misty mountain, the fierce mountain wind swept past like ferocious wild beasts, blowing the flag embroidered with the Han army's battle flag fluttering.

Liao Hua stood on the edge of the mountain top.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, and he could see the enemy situation at the foot of the mountain clearly, as if everything was under his control.

"Prime Minister Xiao was able to calculate that Cao Lin would divide his troops to put out the fire. This strategy is truly far-sighted and admirable!"

Liao Hua was filled with amazement.

Although his voice was soft, it was full of admiration and respect for Xiao Fang, and his eyes revealed a kind of worship for the wise man.

Immediately afterwards, Liao Hua's expression changed, and his originally peaceful face instantly became extremely resolute, and the sharp sword in his hand suddenly pointed down the mountain.

"Pass on my military order, let the enemy have a good taste of the power of fire attack!
Today, let them know the strengths and weaknesses of our Han army!"

The shout echoed on the top of the mountain, carrying with it unquestionable majesty, inspiring every Han soldier.

As soon as the military order was given, the Han soldiers immediately took action like a group of well-trained cheetahs.

Barrels of kerosene were carefully pushed out.

The soldiers worked together, shouted loud slogans, and pushed the kerosene barrel down the hillside.

In an instant, the kerosene barrel rolled down the hillside like a wild horse, accelerating faster and faster, making a rumbling sound, as if the earth was shaking.

The enemy soldiers at the foot of the mountain were unaware of this. Some of them were patrolling, some were resting, and had no idea that the Han army had already used the deadly weapon, the kerosene barrel.

When they finally reacted, it was too late.

There were three deafening noises, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

The entire mountain city began to shake violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

The huge impact force caused the bricks and stones on the city wall to fall down, raising a cloud of dust.

The kerosene barrel crashed into the already burning sea of ​​fire, instantly causing an even more violent explosion.

The huge shock wave generated by the explosion was like an invisible force that blew the surrounding enemy soldiers into pieces, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The fire, which had been under control by Cao Lin's troops, got out of control again, and the raging fire raged like a ferocious beast.

Kerosene flowed everywhere, setting fire to everything it touched, engulfing the entire city in a sea of ​​fire once again.

The flames were like fire dragons, devouring everything with their fangs and claws, leaving a mess wherever they went.

The raging fire swept towards the city wall like a surging tide, devouring everything wherever it went.

The scorching temperature made the enemy feel as if they were in purgatory; even the air was distorted by the heat.

Even most of the enemy soldiers on the city walls were burned by the sudden flames. They let out screams that sounded like wails from hell.

Some enemy soldiers had their hair singed by the flames, while others had their skin burned and rolled on the ground in pain.

The loud noises coming from behind were like heavy hammers, completely shattering the enemy soldiers' fighting spirit.

Everyone instinctively fell to the ground, trembling, not daring to look directly at this horrifying scene.

When they slowly turned around, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The entire city was engulfed in raging fire. The Goguryeo soldiers and civilians were rolling and howling in pain in the sea of ​​fire. Their miserable voices sounded like the most desperate cry in the world.

Some soldiers and civilians tried to escape from the sea of ​​fire, but were ruthlessly devoured by the flames.

Some were hit by collapsed houses and uttered their final screams.

This horrific scene easily crushed the enemy's fighting spirit. Their eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if they had seen their own end.

Cao Lin stood on the top of the city wall, his face turning pale in an instant.

His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and disbelief, and the sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.

His lips trembled as he murmured:

"Kerosene barrel? How is that possible?

I have clearly made all the necessary preparations, why did Xiao Fang still scheme against me? "

He kept blaming himself for not noticing the Han army's conspiracy in advance.

Not only were the enemy troops frightened out of their wits by the sudden explosion, but even the Han generals attacking the city were shocked by the tremendous power and trembled in their hearts.

They originally thought that this was just an ordinary battle, but they didn't expect Xiao Fang to have such a brilliant plan and caught the enemy off guard with kerosene barrels.

But soon, they realized that this was the masterpiece of their own flying army, and their morale was boosted. The thunderous shouts rang out, and the Han army soldiers cheered and jumped for joy. They waved their weapons and their faces were filled with excitement.

"Prime Minister Xiao, Cao Lin must be frightened right now."

Ma Su said coldly, with a mocking smile on his face.

Xiao Fang laughed loudly and snorted:

"This is all his own fault. Today, I will let him know the fate of those who are my enemy!"

On the top of the city wall, Cao Lin fell into deep regret.

He regretted that he had underestimated Xiao Fang, thinking that Gulie City was impregnable and that even with Xiao Fang's wisdom and strategy, he could not do anything to him.

He never expected that Xiao Fang would actually send flying troops to climb the cliff and launch an attack from the rear.

He thought of his previous contempt for Xiao Fang and his heart was filled with regret.

"I should have scouted the rear earlier. I was too careless and thought that the terrain and military strength of Gulie City were enough to resist the attack of the Han army.

But I didn't expect Xiao Fang to be so cunning."

Cao Lin felt extremely regretful and kept blaming himself.

Outside the city, Xiao Fang looked determined and shouted:

"Send the order, retreat temporarily!"

When the gong sounded, the Han army soldiers retreated in an orderly manner.

At this time, the fire in the city was raging, the flames soaring into the sky, and the flames were like fire dragons, raging in the city.

Xiao Fang knew that there was no need to waste any more soldiers' lives.

This raging fire alone is enough to burn down the entire city.

If they launched a forceful attack at this time, there was a high possibility that their own soldiers would also be injured by the fire.

Retreating temporarily and watching the fire burn the city is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

He stood in the distance, quietly watching the fire in the city, thinking about his next plan in his mind.

The Han army retreated slowly, while the enemy troops on the city walls fell into extreme panic.

The Han army retreated, which should have been a good thing, but the fire in the city became more and more fierce and could not be put out at all.

The fire spread like a poisonous snake, scorching the earth wherever it went.

The house was burning in flames, making crackling sounds.

Even without the Han army breaking into the city, they would probably have been burned to death by the merciless fire.

The enemy soldiers looked at each other, feeling desperate and helpless.

Cao Lin gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He knew that there was no way out now, and only by fighting to the death could he have a chance of survival.

He had no choice but to take a deep breath and shouted loudly:
"Open the city gates and break out with all your troops!"

When the order was given, the deputy generals were shocked and all showed expressions of horror.

Outside the city, the Han army is eyeing them covetously. Wouldn't it be courting death to break out at this time?

"There are Han troops outside the city. If we fight our way out, won't that just lead us into a trap?"

A deputy general shouted worriedly.

Cao Lin glared at him and shouted hoarsely:

"Do you want to be burned to death, or to find a chance of survival?
If you don’t want to die, just follow me out!
Do you want to die here?"

The deputy generals finally woke up from their dream and realized that they had no choice.

They gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.

The city gate slowly opened and the drawbridge slowly lowered.

Cao Lin took the lead, dragging his heavy sword, and rushed out of the city gate like an angry lion.

Behind him, the enemy troops followed Cao Lin closely with their last bit of faith, rushing out of the city like moths to a flame. (End of this chapter)
