A huge force suddenly surged from the ground, rising from the feet of countless Sun Jun soldiers who were charging forward, booming from their sides, and suddenly vented in all directions, knocking away all the Sun Jun soldiers who entered this place.
Entering the air, the flying ashes are annihilated.
The huge gas blast exploded into large clouds of dust and fire, forming a wall of smoke. When it burned all the combustible objects around it, the shock wave destroyed everything around it.
Thunder strike! Cao Jun finally launched his thunder strike on land at this time!
The rumbling explosion was like the background music of this extremely tense moment. It was surprising and stunned. It did not make most of the Sun Army soldiers feel a trace of heaviness and solemnity. On the contrary, they automatically stopped and stopped.
Standing outside the explosion circle, Cheng Pu looked at the scene of hell filled with smoke and flames, but he chuckled "haha" with a bit of humor and sadness.
Cao's army used normal explosives in Cheng Pu's offensive, but they concentrated all the explosives on land and used them on the rivers with rock and salt mines. The army used all the explosives in traditional mines and buried them in
In the position behind their camp, they seemed to be sure that Sun Jun would break through their defense line and break through them.
The situation that Cheng Pu encountered was actually exactly the same as the situation in the water battle between Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Cao Jun: they pretended to retreat at the critical moment, luring Sun Jun into the rear of their battle formation, and then used their prepared explosives and mines to kill a large area.
Destroy Sun Jun's effective force.
Although Cao Jun did not have much explosives, their technical advantages and maturity in using them were definitely better than Sun Jun's. They made most of the explosives into landmines and buried them along Sun Jun's route.
On the route, the lethality was huge and excellent. How could the flesh and blood bodies in the charge be compared to the power of the explosion? Thousands of soldiers were directly killed in the explosion, and countless others died.
for the ensuing fire.
The serial explosions and fires on the land were originally disconnected from the oil ring on the river. However, due to the wind direction and the fires caused by the explosions on the land, as well as the reeds and hay specially piled up by Cao Jun behind the fortifications and filled with oil,
The sulfur poured all over the place, and the tinder of smoke and smoke soon had the meaning of connecting the fires on both sides.
Cheng Pu watched countless soldiers wailing and burning, and his memory at this moment began to become incoherent. In fact, many scenes flashed in fragments in Cheng Pu's memory later. Sadly, what they themselves
The explosives they brought were all tied to arrows and scattered in the hands of various archers. They had been ordered to use these explosives in the next day of fierce fighting and when they entered Cao's camp, but now they not only had no chance to use them
These explosives were also caused by the death of the holder or the sudden fire that broke out all over the mountains and plains. The explosives held by Sun Jun, who was blown into chaos, were all around his own people. The holder accidentally ignited the explosion in his hands, which not only intensified the
Their casualties triggered more fires.
Among the burning tents, wooden villages, and even rocks, Cheng Pu vaguely heard the news of his son's death. He watched the explosions and burning around him. He kept moving forward like crazy, slowly moving towards the depths of the sea of fire.
Walking slowly, his horse's hoof collided with a landmine. With a "bang" sound, the horse's hoof kicked him out of the ground. The mine rolled far away. After the flames of the fuse were accidentally extinguished, it was just a few meters away.
Pu stopped very close, but the mine did not explode.
"Why don't you blow me up?..."
A cry of sorrow, like a cry, expressed Cheng Pu's true feelings at this time.
His son is dead, and the soldiers around him are leaving him one by one. Cheng Pu doesn't need to know the outcome of the water battle on the river to know that their defeat is a foregone conclusion, but why is Cheng Pu not dead yet? He hopes to fight with him
All the soldiers on his own side also died in this unfair battle. Living at this time was even more painful for Cheng Pu.
When Cheng Pu felt the cold muzzle of a gun pointed in front of his eyes and finally on his neck, Cheng Pu woke up from his trance. At this time, dozens of Cao soldiers were crossing the line in front of him.
Crossing the smoke curtain wall, he pointed his spear and gun at him. His expression was solemn, but his eyes did not show the slightest panic of being held hostage by the enemy. He just stared blankly at these Cao soldiers, giggled a few times, and then began to talk to himself.
Walk around and check the situation left and right.
Regardless of whether Cheng Pu was kidnapped at this time, there was no need for the slightest nervousness on his face anymore. Because Cheng Pu unknowingly walked to a river bank where the two fires had not yet surrounded him, and the clearer sight came into view.
The scene of the sea of fire made him understand the origin of the term "purgatory". At this time, he suddenly turned around and saw behind him that Cao Jun's camp, positions, and even their follow-up positions were already a sea of fire, and Cheng, who was extremely lucky,
Pu unknowingly arrived at the series of big explosions on land and has been walking aimlessly for more than an hour. He has also reached these two fire-sea space areas, which are currently the only passages that people can pass through.
The soldiers of Cao's army were rushing in and out to escort some of Cheng Pu's still alive subordinates, the so-called prisoners of war, who were also survivors like Cheng Pu in the series of explosions just now. Not only were these people unable to fight anymore, they could
I'm lucky enough to be alive, so there's no point in resisting.
They are all people made of flesh and blood, they know how to be afraid, and they know the meaning of the defeat. In the end, more than 2,000 soldiers of Sun's army surrendered.
Cheng Pu looked at the soldiers walking by without any criticism. Most of them were like zombies and could not recognize Cheng Pu. For those who could stop in front of Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu also responded with a relieved smile.
"You are lucky. Cherish your life and live well!" Cheng Pu encouraged, and his comforting words made many Sun Jun soldiers passing by shed tears.
"You are an outstanding soldier, but it is a pity that you should not be an enemy of my lord..." Cheng Pu did not know Zhang Liao, but when the seemingly young general in front of him suddenly spoke to him, he knew that this person was Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao.
"How on earth did you do all this? How could you suddenly have so many terrible weapons?" Cheng Pu, who was covering his wounds from shrapnel or other weapons, spat on the ground.
Asked Zhang Liao.
"Today's battle can be regarded as giving everyone a new experience! I'm not satisfied with you saying that it's actually my first time to see these weapons, but my lord has made arrangements for this battle for a long time. You rushed to the battle, and you lost because of it...
Ahem... My name is Zhang Liao. I know you are Cheng Pu, General Cheng. General Cheng, please come with me. Due to the wind direction, this place will soon be burned by the fire on the river.
The fires over there are connected, and I'm afraid your military camp will also..."
Senior generals like Cheng Pu can be seen at a glance on the battlefield. Although Cheng Pu stood there like a madman and was clearly wearing enemy uniforms, Cao's soldiers still didn't dare to act casually when they found him.
If they want to move him rashly, they can only send people to surround him and notify Zhang Liao at the same time.
Respect for senior generals has always been reflected not only in the treatment of one's own generals, but also in the treatment of senior enemy generals, even prisoners of war. Cao's soldiers who did not kill viciously still showed this magnanimity and grace.
"Cao Zhi is really a fucking lunatic..." In response to Zhang Liao's kindness, Cheng Pu followed Zhang Liao's guidance and cursed the two fires on the river and on the land that were closing in.
Even a veteran general like Cheng Pu had only heard of the strength and incredible warfare methods of Cao Zhi and his army before. It was not until this moment that he truly saw it for the first time. But it was obviously too late to admire or be afraid.
Got it!
"It seems that I should be more concerned about your own life at this time? I can even consider whether to surrender to Cao Zhi like you, right?" Cheng Pu said a few words to Zhang Liao with a sarcastic smile, and then took the photo.
He patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder, and then took two steps towards the sea of fire that was getting closer and closer to the river.
Zhang Liao was a little embarrassed by Cheng Pu's cynicism. He did surrender after Lu Bu's defeat and submitted to Cao Zhi. Many people in Cao Zhi's team joined Cao Zhi's side in this way. Zhang Liao even
He had forgotten that period of history and past events, but when Cheng Pu mentioned it, his face turned red and white, and he snorted coldly: "Does General Cheng still think that you or your lords can escape from us?"
Encirclement? This is too ridiculous, my lord has already decided..."
"This is not a time of peace. This is a war. Everyone must have the consciousness to sacrifice for the Lord. As an old minister of the Sun family, I am the most loyal to the Sun family. If there is anything else in this world that makes us feel scared
The thing is not death, but the inability to complete the mission entrusted to us by the Lord. Brother Zhang, I want to ask you one last thing. Don’t say anything. You should just give a veteran the last charity and kill me!"
Cheng Pu's request was very simple. It might be a piece of cake for a veteran warrior, but for Zhang Liao, this kind of situation had never happened to him since his debut. This time it was Zhang Liao's turn.
Zhang Liao was stunned, and the unhappiness just now disappeared in Zhang Liao's heart.
It was only at this moment that Zhang Liao realized how strong-willed the veteran who was much older than him was. As a military general, this man not only had integrity and backbone, but also had a loyalty that could not be matched by anyone else in the world.
This is an absolutely awe-inspiring quality. Zhang Liao quietly looked at the veteran whose hair and beard were zooming and becoming brittle due to the gradual fire on both sides. Zhang Liao is not only a person of magnanimity, but also a respectful person.
A man of noble character. A minute later, Zhang Liao sighed and issued the order to withdraw the troops. At the same time as he ended the round of retrieval and cleaning the battlefield, Cheng Pu, who was standing quietly on the bank of the river with his troops, turned around and left.
