Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 322
On the west wall of Jicheng, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke emerged with the wind, so that even the soldiers of Jicheng under the city wall couldn't keep their eyes open.

Cui Lie looked at the fire, and couldn't help but feel the pleasure of sweeping away his anger: "Han Sui deceived me that there is no one in Longxi, so he wanted to use his tricks to attack Jicheng. He was really smart but was mistaken by his cleverness. If he didn't wait for the Han Dynasty to come With continuous fierce attacks, the safety of Jicheng is still unknown. But if you want to get whatever you want at this time, you really underestimate me, Long Xierlang!"

After saying this, Cui Lie looked back at the two men and a woman behind him, with an indescribable gratification on his face: "There are three outstanding talents in Jicheng, and it is really the luck of the Han family. Guard the city carefully and deploy strict defenses, for fear that the city of Ji will fall tonight."

"Your Majesty, you are absurd. If it weren't for Han Sui's wolfish ambitions and disasters in Guanxi, we would not have gathered in Longxi to resist. The defeat of Han Sui tonight is just the law of heaven and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty." Wang Yibi compared Speaking of Yang Fu and Jiang Jiong, he seemed even more excited.For thousands of years, it has never been heard that a woman conspired against the enemy and made meritorious deeds.This time, it can be regarded as a pioneering move.

"You don't need to be humble, Wang Shi. Your Majesty even consulted Lady Cai when studying. It is a good story to have such a thoughtful female strategist like you in my tent."

In the Han Dynasty, the term "shi" was not only used to refer to men. The "Book of Songs" contained the word "Ms. Li'er", which refers to women and there are scholars.It is a metaphor that a woman has a man's deeds and talents. Therefore, the word 'shi' can also be used as a respectful title for a knowledgeable and cultivated woman.Seeing that Cui Lie praised him so much, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel elated, so that even the cruel scene in the distance seemed to be blurred.

But compared to Wang Yi, Yang Fu and Jiang Jiong were not much moved. On the contrary, they also frowned in unison, quietly watching every move on the city wall.

At this moment, the fire on the city wall has already burned half of the sky red, and the fire spread like a galloping horse, which profoundly and harshly embodies the eternal philosophical saying that "water and fire have no mercy".Under the might of Vulcan Zhu Rong, no matter how fierce and crazy the soldiers were, they immediately crumbled into a mess.

Countless soldiers on fire, under the burning pain of the fire, ignored the three-foot-high city wall, and jumped down; some soldiers who had been burned by the fire ran back and forth with mournful voices, and finally became a pile The scorched black corpse was reduced to ashes in extreme pain.

As far as the eyes can see, there are balls of moving fireballs, making ear-piercing wailing, dancing crazily in the hot and bright red light, until life is completely swallowed by the flames...

However, this army is Han Sui's personal soldiers after all.No, they are elite soldiers selected from among the personal soldiers.All of them are beasts who sacrifice their lives and have experienced many battles.The raging fire frightened them at first, but many soldiers were completely aroused by the fire.They roared wildly, waved the scimitars in their hands, and rushed towards the city regardless of the caltrops under their feet.

"They only have a few antlers and refuse horses. They rushed over, and Jicheng is ours!" The indiscriminate burning did not completely destroy the command system of this army. The most correct order was issued.

"If you dare to burn me, I will pay for it if I die!" A rebel covered in fire rushed towards Juma, and the sharp wooden thorns pierced through his body instantly.But the flame on his body clearly started to burn towards the more flammable wood.

"The soldiers in Jicheng are all weaklings, just rush through!"

"Kill!"

"Fight!"

All kinds of shouts echoed on the city wall, and with the transmission of these voices, more and more fireballs began to rush towards the city.The fighting spirit of Han Sui's soldiers, which seemed to be suddenly defeated, was rekindled under the stimulation of the flames!
At this moment, Cui Lie looked at this scene again, and his face gradually turned ugly: what a powerful army, the soldiers of Liangzhou, they are really brave!

Jiang Jiong finally moved at this moment. He went forward to take a rhubarb crossbow—this kind of crossbow was completely unavailable to the soldiers of Jicheng County. It was specially sent by Lu Su to ensure the safety of Jicheng during his previous visit. Ten - the rhubarb crossbow is strung with the strength of the arm, up to ten stones!And the shooting range has reached an extremely terrifying five hundred steps.

Jiang Xiong's resolute face turned red, and he tried his best to raise the rhubarb crossbow to the full string, and then half-kneeled on the ground, his cold eyes aimed at the tall figure on the city wall through Wangshan—before that, Jiang Xiong Jiong has already noticed that it is this person who has been shouting and commanding the army, and he is definitely a senior officer in this rebel army.

The next moment, a giant crossbow that was twice as long as a normal crossbow bolt flew out like a dragon out of water, making an ear-piercing sound of piercing the sky and rushing towards the city wall.

At this time, Ma Wan was hiding in a place leeward of the stone ladder with little fire, and hid his huge body behind the mud bricks so that he could avoid most of the arrow rain.But just as he stood up and was about to lead his troops to completely smash the defense line under the stone ladder, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from the side, and subconsciously wanted to hide behind the mud bricks again.

However, what Ma Wan didn't expect was that just as he was leaning against the mud brick, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.Then the piercing coldness merged with the raging flames, making him feel very painful and weird.Reluctantly looking down, a huge crossbow arrow had already shot through the mud bricks and pierced through his chest, gurgling blood flowed out, and was dried by the fire in an instant...

Ma Wan seemed to really want to look back to see who shot the arrow, but before he could turn his head, his body suddenly slumped and stopped moving.

"General Ma is dead!"

"General Ma is dead!"

Han Sui's army exclaimed on the city wall.

"Kill! Kill them and avenge General Ma!"

"Rush! Just rush through that piece of antlers!"

"Let's go up to Lao Tzu, the horse is dead, and Lao Tzu is still there, don't retreat!"

It is a pity that Ma Wan is not the only commander of this army.His death, instead of breaking the fighting spirit of Han Sui's personal guards, made them even more hysterical.Jiang Jiong slumped on the ground in pain. On the one hand, the recoil of the rhubarb crossbow was beyond his expectations, and on the other hand, he realized that he underestimated the rebel army too much.

"Pass down the order, let the archers continue to shoot and kill the enemy commander." Cui Lie's eyes became impatient, and he had changed from the elation just now to a trace of fear: If the enemy army is allowed to rush down with this crazy momentum, Ji Cheng will be very angry. Can't fall!

"Your Majesty," Yang Fu finally spoke at this time. He glanced at the city wall with some regrets, then picked up a sharp sword, and said decisively: "Bang the warning drum and mobilize the people of the city to prepare for street fighting!"

"Xishan, why did you say that?!" Cui Lie was a little puzzled. Although the situation was critical, there were only less than 1 troops.Moreover, these people were all on fire, at most it was a moment of fierceness that came back to life.But Cui Lie's men still had a second line of defense that they didn't use, and there were still three thousand private soldiers from wealthy families that didn't press on.

"My lord, we all underestimated Han Sui." Yang Fu closed his eyes in pain, sighed and said, "Han Sui rebelled and rebelled, but after all, a 20 army is like a hard rock. Just like a weak egg. Hitting a stone with an egg is tragic, but not wise."

"Xishan, you mean?..." Cui Lie's face changed again, and after Yang Fu's reminder, a terrible idea suddenly rose from his mind.

"That's right, Han Sui's army may arrive sooner or later!" Jiang Jiong stood up from the ground at this moment, touched the silver spear beside him, but there was a smile on his face: "Since Xishan knows that it is not wise to hit a stone with an egg , why do you still hold the sword and beat the drum?"

Yang Fu turned his head and smiled slightly: "Aren't you also planning to leave?"

"I don't leave because I know our army won't lose yet." Jiang Jiong has a warm complexion, standing with a silver gun in his hand, like a jade man, exuding the light of wisdom:
"Han Sui is sinister and vicious, and although he has seen through Lu Sima's plan, he and Qiang Hu are not of the same mind. He even regards it as a waste, an enemy, and discards it. Therefore, he knows that Lu Sima is dangerous, but They will not remind the leaders of the army. In this way, the two armies of Lu Sima and General Ma will surely win a big victory. When they discover Han Sui's trick, how can they not rush to Jicheng to help?"

"That is to say, in the end, we actually put Ji Cheng on Lu Sima and General Ma?" Cui Lie suddenly smiled and became emotional, and went around in circles, unexpectedly, the end was still the same as the beginning.

"No, we put Jicheng in the hands of the emperor of the Han Dynasty." Yang Fu said, his eyes were wise and resolute: "And, I believe we will not lose!"
