Chapter 313 Entering the Central Plains and Starting Fire
It has been three days since he launched an attack on Hefei. Chunyu Qiong thought that he could capture a small city in a few hours, but soon he found out that he was wrong, very wrong.

The opponent's defender was extremely tenacious. He tried all the siege methods he could think of to no avail. Hefei County was always in the opponent's hands.

"Dare to retreat in front of the battle, kill without pardon!" Another wave of offensive, was killed by the opponent, Chunyu Qiong roared angrily, rushed into the retreating defeated soldiers, roared and brandished a big knife, and the count who followed him A hundred soldiers followed closely behind.The dozens of soldiers who retreated failed to die from the enemy's flying arrows, but died from their own swords. What an irony this is.

No matter how angry Chunyuqiong was, he couldn't break through the impenetrable Hefei.

Time flies with death.

Yuan Shao's 40 troops had already arrived on the battlefield. Chunyu Qiong, who had not completed the task, was severely punished, and Yuan Shao demoted him to two ranks.

Fengji proposed to ask people to persuade them to enter the city with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Chen Dao delayed for three full hours on the grounds of consideration, then gouged out the messenger's eyes, ears and nose, and beat him out with a stick.

Yuan Shao was furious and immediately ordered Lu Bu to lead an army to attack the city.

Lu Bu led the cavalry without any disadvantages, but his ability in siege was not as good as Chunyu Qiong's. However, he chose a smarter method than Chunyu Qiong, which was consumption.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle continued for another two hours. The siege soldiers led by Lu Bu maintained a sharp offensive, but they still failed to blast through the city wall of Hefei.Over the past two hours, the attacks have been smashed wave after wave.There were many casualties above and below the city, and the defenders fought back desperately when the siege soldiers went up to the city several times, and they were never able to stay in prison for a while.After more than a dozen repeated attacks, both the offensive and defensive sides were exhausted physically and mentally.

Lu Bu didn't care, the lives and deaths of these soldiers had nothing to do with him, all he needed was victory.

Another hour passed.

"So, all the defenders on the city have been wiped out?" Lu Bu said with a smirk while stroking Fang Tian's painted halberd, looking at Hefei City.

"Yes, yes! The villain saw it with his own eyes! There are only a few hundred soldiers in the city." The soldier nodded and bowed, with a flattering expression on his face.

Lu Bu laughed out loud, and all the surrounding soldiers hurriedly laughed together.

"There are only a few hundred people, and they dare to be so rampant and plan to resist our army, hahaha! It's ridiculous." At this moment, Lu Bu took over Chun Yuqiong's siege force. With [-] soldiers under his command, naturally he would not send hundreds of people Keep it in your eyes.

"Kill!" Lu Bu led an army of [-] to Hefei, and the torrent of people flooded Hefei in an instant.

Yuan Shao's military account.

"My lord, my lord..." Lu Bu quickly ran into Yuan Shao's camp, and asked him for credit: "The last general has already conquered Hefei. There is no one in the city. The city is full of food and grass. There are too many to count. It is estimated that it is enough to support my 60 troops. For a year."

"It's really like that..." Yuan Shao was almost stunned, what is the concept of food to support 60 troops for a year.How could Yuan Shao not know that even if the total tax revenue of the Northland for one year is added up, it is not enough for 60 troops to use for one year.If they are piled up, a whole small county can be buried.

With this food, his army can conquer all directions without any consideration, not to mention Jingzhou, Jiangdong Jiaozhou will also be in his pocket.

Yuan Shao felt that he was going crazy, and he went crazy with joy.

Lu Bu laughed loudly: "How dare Lu Bu lie about such a big matter."

"Good... good... good..." Yuan Shao said three good things in a row, couldn't control his excitement, and laughed loudly: "Feng Xian has made great contributions, and after he put down Sun Can, Yuan will definitely not treat the general badly. "

"Fengxian, quickly send someone to count and transport. Well, you are using my token to mobilize [-] troops to assist in transporting grain and grass. Within three days, you must report an accurate quantity." Yuan Shao patted Lu Bu on the shoulder in satisfaction , so happy that you can't keep your mouth shut.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the whole city of Hefei suddenly burst into flames.

The raging fire, gunpowder smoke, the sound of peeling and peeling, and the smell of burnt food all spread over Hefei immediately, and blown into Yuan Shaojun's camp along with the biting winter wind.

"What's going on, what's going on!" Seeing the fire in Hefei City, Yuan Shao felt uneasy.

Lu Bu was also in a cold sweat. He didn't know that something extraordinary had happened, but he knew in his heart that it was definitely not a good thing.

"It's not good, Hefei is on fire." A general stumbled into Yuan Shao's barracks,

Lu Bu took a closer look and saw that it was Cheng Lian.Yu Chenglian was the only one of the eight generals back then. Cheng Lian followed Lu Bu to attack Guangling and escaped the mutiny of Chen Gong. Later, he followed Lu Bu around. Before Lu Bu came, he appointed him to be optimistic about Hefei, but he did not know why he appeared here.

When Lu Bu heard that Hefei was on fire, he immediately grabbed Cheng Lian's chest in a rage, lifted him up, and said loudly, "What's going on, can you tell me clearly?"

Cheng Lian kicked his feet in the air, and said tremblingly: "Not long after the general left, more than 300 people were killed from nowhere. They burned as soon as they saw food, and they were unstoppable."

Lu Bu scolded: "There are 5 horses in the city, how can a mere [-] be an opponent?"

Cheng Lian said with a sad face: "They are indeed not our opponents, but our minds were all on the food at the time, and we didn't find out where they came from. They were all defiant of life and death, and shouted in their mouths: Even if they die, they can't be killed." The food was left to Yuan Shao's children...ah!!! No, it was the general. Although we executed them all, they had already set fire to the food. The food was burning with the wind, and there was no way to stop it."

Yuan Shao only felt that his eyes were dark. He thought that Hefei was in his pocket, so he didn't continue to transfer grain from Jizhou, but sent those few grains to the north to help the northern soldiers resist the invasion. Gongsun Du's army.If the food and grass in Hefei are missing, then the daily supplies of the army under his command will become a problem, so he said in a panic: "Hurry up and rescue!"

Cheng Lian said helplessly: "The wind is too strong, the fire goes with the wind, and Man Yan's speed is very fast. There is no water source in the city, and other tools can't put out the fire at all. I am here to ask the general for help. According to the current situation, we can only use Only the army can hope to put out the fire and save more food and grass."

Yuan Shao was furious: "Why didn't you say it earlier, come, hurry, hurry, half of the people will go to fetch water, and half will go to save food, as much as can be rescued."

Yuan Shaojun panicked and became a mess. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
