Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 910 Jiangdong Army Burns Xiapi (3)

"Commander, what's the matter?"

The teacher who came in after Dian Wei asked suspiciously.

"Where is the nonsense, listen to my order and retreat!"

Dian Wei became a little anxious, and raised his voice.

"Here!"

Dian Wei became impatient, and the division commander ran out at a trot, and ordered loudly: "The army commander has an order, do not enter the prefect's mansion, all retreat to the street, and wait for the order!"

The order was given, but it was too late, because the soldiers and horses of the Northern Han Army had already swarmed into Xiapi City, and a rocket was fired into the sky from nowhere.

"call!"

The Jiangdong army guarding the tunnel of the Taishou's mansion took out a fire pocket and lit the kerosene on the ground of the Taishou's mansion.

Things like oil, not to mention open flames, will be ignited even if there is a spark, and the spread speed is extremely fast.

Many soldiers and horses under Dian Wei were still in the prefect's mansion, and they were surrounded by fire from nowhere.

"Get out!"

Dian Wei pushed the soldiers in front and pushed all the soldiers and horses around him out of the prefect's mansion.

As soon as Dian Wei and others left the prefect's mansion, the prefect's mansion behind them was covered by fire, and the flames shot up to the sky.The Northern Han army who failed to withdraw in time was burned by the fire and let out screams.

"Damn Jiangdong dog, dare to plot against me! When I get to Jiangdong, I have to kill you all!"

Dian Wei looked at the Xiapi Prefect's Mansion, which was billowing with smoke in front of him, and angrily turned to the south and cursed.

But how did Dian Wei know that at this time, except for the prefect's mansion, the entire Xiapi City was surrounded by flames, and all the gates on all sides of the city, except the north gate, were all blocked by the fire. The only north gate that did not catch fire was because of The north gate was blocked by boulders. The Jiangdong army did not need to set fire to the north gate, and the Northern Han army could not rush out from the north gate.

"Report! The prefect's mansion in the city is on fire!"

A soldier ran to report to Yue Xi's horse, who was running towards the prefect's mansion.

"How is Commander Dian, is there any injury?"

Worried about Dian Wei's safety, Yue Xi asked urgently.

"Reporting to Commander Yue, Commander Dian discovered it in time, and all the soldiers and horses under his command retreated from the prefect's mansion. Except for hundreds of brothers who failed to rush out, Commander Dian was not injured!"

The soldier replied.

"Phew, that's good. You go back and tell Dian Wei to send someone to put out the fire, and quickly put out the fire in the prefect's mansion!"

Yue Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and waved to the soldier who came to report, telling him to go back.

"Here!"

The soldier got on his horse and ran in the direction of the prefect's mansion.

"Report!"

Just now the soldiers sent by Dian Wei had just left, and before Yue Xi had time to set off again, another soldier came to report the military situation.

"General Yue, the east part of Xiapi City is on fire. The flames are so intense that we can't get close!"

"Report!"

Before Yue Xi had time to speak, he heard someone shouting and charging over on horseback. The man rolled off his horse and knelt down on the ground: "General Yue, there is a fire in Xicheng District. The fire is so huge that it may not be able to be extinguished!"

"Report, a fire broke out in Beicheng District...!"

"Report, a fire broke out in Nancheng District...!"

Immediately afterwards, two more people came to inform Yuexi that there was a fire in Xiapi City.

"Wu Gou from Jiangdong, dare to play tricks under my nose, they think they can block the way of the army commander by setting fire, pass my order...!"

"Report! The west gate is on fire, and the gate of the city is blocked by the fire. Commanders Gao Shun and Xia Houlan led people to charge several times, but they were all burned back by the fire! You can't leave the city!"

"Report...!"

"Report...!"

Two more soldiers galloped over on horseback and informed Yue Xi of the fire at the east and south gates.

Yue Xi's heart was half cold, and he said tremblingly: "How is the fire in the city? Is it big?"

"Commander Yue, there are fires everywhere in the city, if you can't get out, please think of a way, if you can't get out, I'm afraid we will all die here!"

One of the group leaders seemed to be frightened by the fire around him, and even trembled a little.

"Trash, what are you afraid of, since we can come in, we can definitely get out!"

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Yue Xi pretended to be calm and said.

Then, Yuexi dismounted, climbed onto a roof in person, and looked around.

What caught Yuexi's eyes was endless fires, whether it was a residential building or a public place, everything was red as far as the eye could see.

Yuexi saw that there was no fire in the north of the city, that is, there was no fire at the north gate, so he said: "Brothers, follow me to the north gate first, and you go to inform Commander Dianwei, Commander Zhao Yun and the others to quickly move closer to me and take refuge at the north gate. fire!"

"Here!"

Yuexi first took his soldiers and horses to the north gate to avoid the fire, and the rest of the team also arrived at the north gate, all crowded on the city wall, looking at the sea of ​​fire in front of them.

Dian Wei looked at the sea of ​​fire and said angrily: "Damn Wu Dog is so vicious, we lost nearly ten thousand people before he confronted us! If we don't avenge this revenge, what face do I have to go to see His Majesty? We have fought all our lives Veteran, this time I am ashamed and thrown home!"

"Don't say it's useless. Looking at the fire, I'm afraid it will only get bigger and bigger. It will spread over sooner or later. The city wall is only so big that we can't let our army of nearly [-]. We still have to find a way to get out of the city." Yes! Otherwise, we will lose at least half of our troops!"

Zhao Yun looked at the fire that was getting bigger and bigger and spreading to his side, his eyes were full of worry.

"Remove the stone blocking the city gate, and we can rush out!"

Gao Shun said.

"Moving stones? Can you go and see for yourself? They are all huge boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms, and if you want to use human power without any tools, how can you move them away!"

Zhang He said.

"Then what do you say?"

Gao Shun's proposal was rejected by Zhang Yun, and Gao Shun got a little anxious and yelled at Zhang Yun.

"I can not stand it any more!"

Just as they were discussing loudly how to get out of the city, some soldiers couldn't bear the pressure in their hearts, turned around and jumped off the city wall.

The city wall was several feet high, and the soldier who jumped fell directly to his death at the bottom of the city.

"Calm down, watch the brothers around you, you can't jump off the wall, the wall is too high, you'll die if you jump off it!"

Zhao Yun was afraid that someone would continue to jump down, so he hastily ordered to stop the soldiers who were about to jump into the city.

The soldiers could understand human speech, but the war horses below the city couldn't understand human speech. The instinctive fear of fire made the war horses extremely irritable, and some war horses even turned around and stomped on the soldiers behind them.There were also war horses that rushed into the flames with the cavalry on their backs. No matter how hard the cavalry on the horses pulled on the reins, they couldn't pull them.

"Get off your horse, get off your horse!"

Yue Xi is familiar with the nature of war horses. Even if they are domesticated, they will not obey orders when they encounter fire, which scares them from the bottom of their bones.

After dealing with the jumping soldiers and the frightened horses, the seven began to discuss how to get out of the city.
