"General, what should we do?" Looking at the barbs all around, the Danyang generals beside Hou Cheng did not dare to move, for fear that if they moved, the military formation would change and the barbs would immediately jump out from the ground.
"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Hou Cheng scolded: "If you can, ask that old man to come down and fight with me alone!"
"It looks like they are going to attack with fire. If this happens, our army's formation may not be able to be maintained!" General Danyang frowned and said: "General, if we don't break through this massacre, our army will be completely annihilated!"
"Shut up!" Hou Cheng turned his head, glared at him fiercely, then looked at the city wall and cursed: "We and three thousand people working together, how come we can't break through this wall?"
"General, this is not just a matter of saying Dharma Sui. It is a city wall built by the power of the Dharma Sui after he controlled the soil. If he just said Dharma Sui, we can naturally break it, but this wall is real. With cooperation
Words of law are followed by power, so it will be difficult for us to defeat them!" General Danyang said helplessly.
Hou Cheng's face looked a little dark. Confucianism is not scary, but those who master the power of the five elements and practice Confucianism are a bit rogue in their ability to build cities anywhere!
"First level these thorns, and then build a human wall to climb up the city wall!" Hou Cheng said, swiping the spear in his hand, and immediately smashed the thorns in front of him, and then stepped out. He didn't know what to use.
To deal with this kind of thing emerging from the ground, the formation kept the iron wall and moved forward. The shape of the entire formation looked strange.
Chen Gui watched this scene, frowned and waved his hand. In an instant, countless earth puppets emerged from the city wall. However, they did not attack Hou Cheng and others. Instead, they turned into rammed earth and continued to raise the height of the city wall.
Hou Cheng looked at this scene and cursed secretly, no matter what he did, the other party could see and respond to it, so how could he have fun?
While he was thinking about it, the earth puppets over there had dropped enough fire starter materials, and the fire began to scorch the earth city, making the already sultry air even more scorching.
Although the Ninth Secret of the Royal Army can block any attack, it cannot block the increase in temperature.
Wow~
An archer appeared around the city wall. Hou Cheng could see clearly that this time he was not a puppet, but a real person, and his heart sank little by little.
"General Hou Cheng, these are the marksmen trained by our Chen family for many years. Now that you have a military formation to protect you, they will naturally not be able to do anything to you, but how long can you hold on under the scorching flames? As long as the military formation appears even slightly.
If there is any flaw, they will shoot you immediately!" Chen Gui stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at Hou Chengdao with a smile.
There are earthen golems at the top of the city who are constantly throwing fire starters down. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, while the archers above the head are watching eagerly, and there are thorns under the feet that may jump out at any time. Under such circumstances, it becomes difficult to change formations.
As the fire in Tucheng continued to increase, the air continued to become hotter. The morale of the soldiers continued to decrease as the fire continued to burn. Correspondingly, the power of the military formation also continued to weaken.
"General Hou, if we surrender at this time, we still have a chance to survive!" Chen Gui looked at Hou Cheng and said in a deep voice.
surrender?
The scorching air waves made Hou Cheng unable to breathe. Surrender was impossible. He shook his head, looked at the general beside him and said: "Help me, as long as you kill this person, we will still have a chance to survive!"
"Please give me your orders, general!" General Danyang whispered.
"Come to the main formation and use the power of the three armies to launch me to the city. Don't let that old man notice!" Hou Cheng handed the flag to General Danyang. As the fire burned and the archers attacked from time to time, the formation of the army
The power is constantly weakening, and if it continues to be delayed, they will have no chance at all!
"General, take care!" General Danyang took the command flag, then mobilized his troops, and at the moment Hou Cheng jumped up, he pushed out with the strength of the three armies.
Hou Cheng's figure turned into an afterimage in the air, and the next moment he appeared not far away from Chen Gui. He thrust his spear in his hand and was about to assassinate Chen Gui, but he saw a young general beside Chen Gui with a sword.
Come, Hou Cheng's inevitable spear was separated by the opponent's sword and passed by Chen Gui's shoulder.
The young general took the opportunity to duck down, and then suddenly bumped into Hou Cheng's chest and abdomen with his shoulder. His eyes looked at the direction in which Hou Cheng flew backwards with a sense of revenge.
Hou Cheng remembered, wasn't this the young general who was defeated by him yesterday? He was still alive!
"Fire arrows!" Chen Gui calmed down in shock and immediately waved his command flag. When Hou Cheng fell and smashed his own formation, the nobles at the top of the city fired thousands of arrows.
Under the scorching fire, the military formation was already on the verge of shattering as the fighting spirit of the soldiers declined. At this moment, seeing the failure of the general's attack, it could no longer be maintained and dissipated invisible. Countless arrow clusters fell. Some people blocked it frantically, and some wanted to
He rushed forward to make a last-ditch effort, but Hou Chengyi was defeated, and the outcome of this battle was already determined.
The sharp arrows on the earthen wall did not stop for a moment, and the earthen puppets continued to throw flammable objects into the city, as well as Chen Gui's ground thorns. Three thousand soldiers, including Hou Cheng, were finally destroyed by the fire amidst the unwilling roars.
Devour.
"Thank you, young general!" Chen Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the three thousand soldiers and horses finally fall into the sea of fire. He looked at Lu Mengdao who was beside him and helped him fend off Hou Cheng's final blow.
"The last general Lu Meng!" Lu Meng raised his neck and looked at Chen Gui. He hated being called little general.
"Let's go to the city!" Chen Gui smiled, he was very exhausted.
There were soldiers helping him down to the city, and there were hundreds of Confucian scholars waiting around, all of whom were the wealthy people who had been driven back from Xuzhou.
"Everyone, the victory of this battle depends entirely on your help." Chen Gui smiled at everyone. If it weren't for the help of hundreds of Confucian scholars, this temporary city wall would not be a real city wall after all, and it might not be able to stop Hou Cheng's breakout.
"Mr. Han Yu's words are serious!" Several Confucian scholars laughed and said: "When Hou Cheng insulted us, he was merciless. I didn't want to end up like this!"
"It's a pity that Lu Bu is not here. If we can burn him to death, we can relieve the great hatred in our heart!"
Chen Gui smiled and said a few words, letting these Confucian scholars go to rest, while he greeted Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who came over.
The earthen wall that had lost the blessings of the Confucian scholars began to collapse in the flames, but it was still solid after all and did not completely collapse.
"The vanguard of the rebel army has been destroyed, but today the Tucheng seems to be weak. If we deal with Lu Bu in the future, might this Tucheng trap Lu Bu?" Zhou Yu said with a frown.
Chen Gui and his son are both earth magicians. Chen Deng did not take action today, but it seems from Chen Gui's actions that this ability combined with words and magic can trap a Hou Cheng. If he faces Lu Bu in the future, this thing will really be useful.
?
"Of course not, but my sons Yuanlong and Yuanyou are already building the city at the place decided by Gongjin." Chen Gui said with a smile.
"Build a city?" Zhou Yu asked.
"If there is a strong city, I can lay it underground in advance, like this!" Chen Gui waved his hand, and saw that the ground around the earth wall seemed to have turned into water, and the earth wall slowly sank.
"Get up!" After the earth wall completely disappeared, Chen Gui waved his hand again, and the earth wall hidden underneath rose again, but it looked more damaged than before.
"After all, this earthen wall was temporarily built by the spirit of words. If there is a real strong city hidden underground, and it can be pulled up when it is used, and in conjunction with words and Dharma, there are hundreds of Confucian scholars here, and we will work together to
It's enough to trap Lu Bu!" Chen Gui didn't have the confidence to kill Lu Bu, but when it came to trapping Lu Bu, he was still confident. After all, there were hundreds of Confucian scholars here who could use their words and deeds. No matter how powerful Chen Gong was,
It's impossible for one person to defeat hundreds of Confucian scholars, right?
Sun Ce looked at the tattered earth wall, nodded and said: "Yes, I hope that fortified city is better than this one."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Zhou Yu looked at Chen Gui who looked a little embarrassed and said, "My lord is a military commander and he doesn't like killing people like this."
Chen Gui nodded silently, a military general, he prefers to be upright. General Sun also has a similar character, which makes Chen Gui somewhat unhappy, but he is old and deep in the city, and he does not express his emotions and anger, so he does not suffer from it.
Showing his anger, he just nodded and said: "I know that if there is nothing important, I will go back to rest. Today, most of my awe-inspiring breath has dissipated. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take action against Lu Bu next."
"Master Han Yu, go away." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "As for Lu Bu's matter, please don't worry, Duke Han Yu."
Chen Gui said no more and left with a group of Confucian scholars.
"Commander, what should we do with Hou Cheng?" Jiang Qin came to Zhou Yu and looked at the pile of corpses behind the earthen wall, which had been swallowed up by the fire.
"After the fire stops, bury it on the spot." Zhou Yu didn't look at it anymore: "No matter what, Hou Cheng can be considered a loyal general. Leave a tombstone so that Lu Bu can find it easier. As for how to place it, it depends on Lu Bu.
.”
"Here!" Jiang Qin nodded.
"The vanguard has been destroyed. After cleaning up, immediately go to the surrounding areas to help dredge the waterways to prevent the bandit army from taking advantage of it!" Zhou Yu said as he walked back. Once the vanguard is dead, the next person to face is Lu Bu's main force.
.
"Here!" Jiang Qin agreed.
It's a pity that Hou Cheng's troops are mainly infantry. If they were all cavalry, Lu Bu's losses in this battle would be even greater!
Zhou Yu thought about this, shook his head and walked back with a sigh.
"Ziming, please remember to erect a monument." After Zhou Yu left, Jiang Qin looked at Lu Meng, told him, and then turned around and left.
Lu Meng: "..."
Just do it now. If you are the least qualified, it won't be a big deal.
Lu Meng kicked down the earth wall and extinguished the flames artificially. Then Cao Cao buried everyone with the earth wall. After thinking about it, he found a wooden sign and wrote a few words, saying that the people of Bingzhou were good at fighting.
But it’s nothing more than that!
After doing all this, Lu Meng took his people and evacuated. After a long time, until it was dark, a group of people appeared from the darkness. This group of people was not large in number. They silently came to the edge of the mound and looked at the slanting
A wooden sign placed on the mound of soil.
There are several big words clearly written on the wooden sign: The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was brave but not resourceful. It was God's will that he died at the hands of Zi Ming!
After a long time, the leader pulled out the wooden sign and said angrily: "Jiangdong rats, you are bullying others too much!"
