At the top of Liangkou City, Xian Yufu had just sent more than 4,000 soldiers down to the city, rushing to the inner city to put out the raging fire in the city.
These thousands of soldiers were heading down to the city, and from the west and east, countless Chu troops were like an incoming tide, closing in on the city.
All Xian Yufu's self-confidence and contempt for Yan Liang were wiped out, leaving only panic and worry.
"The remaining brothers, follow me to defend the city, don't take a step back!" Xianyu Fuqiang cheered up, brandished his sword and shouted.
The five thousand panicked Han troops could only muster up their courage and defend themselves against the enemy with trepidation.
Arrows were flying like locusts, and logs and rolling stones were bombarded. Although the Han army launched a counterattack, its power was greatly reduced because half of its troops were assigned to put out the fire.
More than 100,000 Chu troops, holding large shields high and facing the rain of arrows, attacked the city in a frantic manner.
This time the Chu army did not intend to use gunpowder to blow up the city, and the dozens of water dragon cannons carefully prepared by Xian Yufu became useless decorations.
"Come on, the first one to kill the city will be rewarded heavily by the Emperor!" Huang Zhong, the veteran general, waved his sword and encouraged the soldiers.
Thousands of Chu soldiers rushed to the foot of Liangkou City without fear of life and death, erected hundreds of ladders, and braved arrows and rocks to climb the city.
Blood splattered and drums soared into the sky, and a fierce offensive and defensive battle began on the front line of Liangkou City.
While Xian Yufu was fighting desperately, more than 4,000 Han troops came down from the city and hurried to the scene of the fire, risking their lives to put out the fire.
With the frantic efforts of the Han army, the spreading fire was finally slightly controlled. The fire was contained in the center and no longer approached the line of the southern city wall.
Li Yan could see everything that happened in the city clearly from the top of the mountain.
"Hmph, as expected, Xian Yufu's men really divided their troops to put out the fire, and they came just in time." Li Yan's eagle eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.
He climbed to the edge of the top of the mountain in a few steps, pointed his sword at the fire at the bottom of the mountain, and shouted sternly: "The time has come, roll down all those dozen barrels of gunpowder."
"Push the gunpowder down."
"The general has orders to push down the gunpowder."
The ordering soldiers passed down the orders one by one. On the edge of the hillside, a dozen huge gunpowder barrels showed their ferocious features.
As the command flag was pointed, hundreds of soldiers worked together, and more than ten gunpowder barrels roared down and rushed towards the burning Liangkou City.
The sky was full of gunpowder smoke and the flames were blazing, blocking the view. The soldiers in the city who were only focused on putting out the fire were not aware that the huge danger was approaching rapidly.
Without thousands of soldiers noticing, more than a dozen gunpowder barrels rolled into the city and into the blazing fire.
After a while, the most terrifying scene finally happened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several pieces of gunpowder exploded simultaneously, and several huge mushroom clouds rose up in an instant. The huge explosion shook the entire Liangkou Mountain, as if it was about to collapse.
The impact of the explosion instantly blew the nearby soldiers who were putting out the fire into pieces. The fireball that spattered spread to an area of more than ten feet from the center of the explosion. As soon as the fireball fell, a new fire started immediately.
boom--
boom--
More than a dozen gunpowder barrels exploded one after another, and more than a dozen rising mushroom clouds almost enveloped half of Liangkou City. The explosions even blew hundreds of soldiers into the sky without mercy.
The fire that had just been brought under control spread out of control in the blink of an eye. Hundreds of new fires broke out, turning most of Liangkou City into a sea of flames.
The hunting fire spread rapidly toward the city wall with lightning speed.
"Ahh~~" The soldiers who were fighting at the top of the city were splashed by the flying flames and screamed in pain.
The loud noise that shook the sky was so frightening that the Han people's livers and gallbladders were broken. They looked back quickly, but were shocked to see that the entire Liangkou City had almost been devoured by fire.
In the sea of fire, the screams were like the ghosts of hell, which were endless. Countless soldiers were burned, rolling and scurrying in the fire like crazy, but fell to the ground in pain, and were finally burned to coke.
This horrific scene was beyond the imagination of the Han soldiers, and it broke their will in an instant.
Looking at this scene, Xian Yufu was so frightened that he almost fell off the sword in his hand. His blood-stained face was even more horrified and distorted to the point of insincerity.
"How could this happen? How could Thief Yan come up with such a vicious plan? How could this happen?" Xian Yufu screamed in horror, almost falling into an incoherent state.
Outside the city, the Dachu soldiers were also frightened by the sudden big explosion.
However, they soon realized that this big explosion was their own gunpowder, which exploded in the enemy's lair.
After being shocked, the more than 100,000 soldiers of Da Chu suddenly became excited and shouted, venting their excitement.
"Xian Yufu probably never dreamed that we could climb that insurmountable cliff and give him a fatal blow from behind. Your Majesty's plan is really a wonderful one." Fa Zheng looked at the raging sea of fire and couldn't help but
sighed.
Yan Liang smiled faintly: "My move can be regarded as a dangerous move. If Xian Yufu had been a little wary, even if he deployed a hundred defenders on the top of the mountain, my strategy would have failed. Unfortunately, he believed too much in his geographical advantage."
advantage.”
Xian Yufu thought he had a water dragon cannon and had found out the secret of Yan Liang's gunpowder. He thought he had found out the details of Yan Liang, so he arrogantly thought that he could fight Yan Liang.
It's a pity that Xian Yufu was wrong. He simply ignored that Yan Liang cleared [***] that the most deadly weapon that no one could defeat was not those powerful weapons, but his extraordinary courage and the difficulty of ordinary people.
And wonderful ideas.
No matter how much he thought about it, he would never have thought that Yan Liang had trained a "rock climbing" team several years ago and used this team to teach Xian Yu Fuxue a lesson today.
"Tell the soldiers to withdraw first. Don't let the fire accidentally injure any of our own people." Yan Liang ordered.
Dang Dang Dang~~
The sound of gold sounded, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were attacking the city slowly retreated after hearing that gold had withdrawn their troops.
According to the current development of the fire, the Chu army does not need to attack anymore. The entire Liangkou City will soon turn into a scorched earth, and Xian Yufu and his 10,000 Han troops will also become unjust ghosts in the fire.
As for the Goguryeo people in the city and the rebels who fled to Goguryeo with Liu Bei, since these people want to help Zhou and Jie, Yan Liang will help them and let them die for Liu Bei.
Yan Liangzong rode a red rabbit horse to the front of the formation from the Chinese army, admiring how the seemingly indestructible mountain city in front of him was reduced to ashes bit by bit in the fire.
Thousands of Han troops along the city line were now in a state of death. Everyone was panicking and running around with their heads in their hands.
Although the Chu army retreated, the fire in the city was like a tide, rushing towards the line of the city wall, and it was impossible to attack it.
If the fire continues to spread like this, I am afraid that in less than half an hour, even if they cannot die under the Chu army's sword, they will be burned alive by the fire.
Compared with the cruelty of being burned to death, being beheaded by the Chu army was more pleasant.
"General, what should we do!" the deputy general shouted in horror at Xian Yufu.
Xian Yufu looked at the fire and then at the Chu army retreating down the mountain. He hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "What else can I do? Follow me and rush down the mountain. Maybe there is a way to survive!"
Xian Yufu didn't think much about it, and rushed down to the top of the city, got on his horse, and ordered the city gate to be opened.
With the sound of "squeaking", the tall iron gate of Liangkou City finally opened without any attack.
Xian Yufu wielded his sword and shouted: "Brothers of the Han Dynasty, if you want to live and don't want to be burned to death, follow me and kill. If you break out of the enemy's siege, there is still a way to survive. Kill~~"
With a loud roar, Xian Yufu rode his horse and rushed out of the city.
Although the thousands of Han soldiers were afraid of the Chu army, they were forced into this position. Driven by the will to survive, they could only hold the heart of death and followed Xian Yufu out of Liangkou City along the hillside.
He rushed towards the Chu army.
"What a Xian Yufu, but he is a bit brave and dares to fight back against us." Fazheng said with emotion.
Yan Liang looked disdainfully: "How dare you? He just doesn't want to be burned to death and wants to fight his way out."
Many years ago, when faced with Xian Yufu's confrontation, Yan Liang might have admired him a little and thought about taking back this courageous general.
Now that the world is at peace, in Yan Liang's eyes, Xian Yufu is just a dying man.
The only way to deal with these people who refuse to wake up is to completely obliterate them.
Yan Liang pointed his riding whip at one point and said coldly: "The crossbowmen let go of their arrows to shoot down all these thieves who are stubbornly resisting the power of Chu."
When the emperor was angry, his murderous intent changed the color of heaven and earth.
With the sound of a drum, thousands of arrows were fired, overwhelmingly crashing down on the oncoming enemy.
Whoosh whoosh!
Locust-like arrows swept in like a violent storm, pinning the unprotected soldiers who were just rushing down like ants to the ground like ants.
The screams, like howls of ghosts, shook the surrounding areas.
A round of arrows was fired, and nearly a quarter of the more than 5,000 Han soldiers were swept to the ground, and their bodies were still tumbling down the hillside.
The arrows of the Chu army never rested, and the endless web of arrows filled the air.
Amidst the wailing, blood splashed into the air, and countless Han soldiers were shot to the ground. Almost in the blink of an eye, large swaths of Han soldiers' corpses were covered on the hillside.
Most of the Han troops were killed when they were still dozens of steps away from the Chu troops.
But Xian Yufu waved his sword, danced out an iron curtain, and deflected all the incoming arrows. He actually withstood the Chu army's arrow rain and rushed down the hillside towards the Chu army's formation.
.
"Yan thief, come and accept your fate~~" Xian Yufu roared, like a wild beast at the end of its rope, he actually wanted to break through the army and kill Yan Liang.
Zhou Cang became angry on the spot, raised his sword, and said angrily: "This thief is very arrogant. Your Majesty, let me go and get his dog head."
Yan Liang waved his hand to stop him, and said proudly: "I haven't felt the taste of killing for a long time. Since this Xian Yufu is so crazy, I will give him a try."
With that said, General Yan Liang took the Green Dragon Sword from the hands of the Yulin soldiers, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and with a neigh, the red rabbits, one man and one horse, shot out of the military formation like flying fireballs.
Yan Liang, riding out of the horse, was as majestic as the god of war reappearing in the world. The green dragon knife that drank countless blood in his hand, with a murderous intent that made ghosts and gods terrified, slashed towards the oncoming Xian Yufu. (To be continued.)
