Chapter 157 Fire Burning the City(2/3)
"Kill all the invading enemies!"
"Do you have been buried with Liao Hua!"
The generals responded with a loud bang, and they all stood up to face the north, with inexplicable murderous intent in their eyes. The next moment, the soldiers of the three armies also waved their weapons and started to slap them. For a moment, the mountains collapsed and the earth broke, the stones broke, the sky was shocked, the sky changed, and the strong wind whimpered~~
Amid the shouts of the collapse of the mountains and the earth, the four generals Jia Xu generals Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Pei Yuanshao called to each other and ordered them like this. The four generals nodded, each lit up fifty spirit cavalry and left the army, and scattered. In less than a moment, the four spirit cavalry disappeared on the vast horizon.
Shortly after the four elite cavalry left, Ma Yue's army marched north again, but the speed of the march slowed down. Liao Hua was dead, Mei Ji was lost, and it was meaningless to marching urgently.
Meiji.
Pan Feng's eyes widened and shouted arrogantly: "If it weren't for our Jizhou army's fierce battle, how could you Xiliang barbarians enter Meijicheng? Now they are actually fighting with us in the opposite direction to grab territory and women. It's really inappropriate! This general is limited to your incense stick to withdraw from the warehouse, otherwise~~"
Pan Feng said this, his eyes showed murderous intent, and said sternly: "Don't blame me for being polite!"
"Get out~"
"Get out~"
"Get out~"
The three-time Jizhou soldiers behind Pan Feng responded, and the momentum was terrifying.
Opposite the Jizhou Army, Han Sui's eyes were uncertain. He was not afraid of Pan Feng's Jizhou Army, but now the two armies are mixed in the city, and the terrain in the city is narrow, which is not conducive to the galloping of the Western Liang cavalry. Once the battle begins, the Liangzhou Army is likely to suffer a great loss! If it is something else, Han Sui is also a hero of a generation, and he can tolerate it.
But Pan Feng openly slandered the Liangzhou soldiers as barbarians and threatened the Liangzhou soldiers to withdraw from Kutun within a stick of incense. This practice is not just an excessive, it is simply an insult to the entire Liangzhou army! The Jizhou soldiers are so aggressive, if Han Sui has no more to express anything, where is his prestige?
Han Sui smiled coldly and whispered: "General Pan Feng, is that too much?"
"Excessive?" Pan Feng said disdainfully, "I am already very polite! Don't be shameless."
Han Sui's facial muscles twitched suddenly. When he gritted his teeth and was about to turn against each other, a hurried shout suddenly sounded in front of him: "Stop, stop, stop all~~"
"Um?"
“Huh?”
Pan Feng and Han Sui turned their heads at the same time, and saw Ju Su galloping under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers. He waved from a distance: "Don't be impatient, two generals, please be anxious, there is an emergency military information below."
"Well, emergency military information?"
Pan Feng and Han Sui frowned at the same time.
Ju Su said in a deep voice: "Just just now, a large number of scouts of the Ma Yue army were found more than a hundred miles south of Meiji. I thought that Ma Yue's army might be nearby."
"Ma Yue's army?"
Pan Feng's face changed, and then he remembered that although Meiji had captured, Ma Yue's army had never appeared. Now the enemy is not the time to turn against the Liangzhou army. Thinking of this, Pan Feng's face relaxed in an instant, quietly raised his right arm and pressed it down. The soldiers behind him with bows and swords were put away their weapons one after another.
Han Sui did not do much for himself, and also signaled his soldiers to return to their scabbards, and the tense atmosphere suddenly eased.
Han Sui said: "General Pan Feng, Mr. Ju Su, since Ma Yue's army is about to return and the enemy is in front of him, it is better to leave the dispute for the time being. The two families divide their troops to guard the four gates. After repelling Ma Yue's army, they will allocate the city's food, grass and supplies and women according to the merits of the two armies. How about it?"
Pan Feng said: "Okay, just follow the general's words."
Han Sui said: "Since that's the case, I will say goodbye."
Pan Feng said: "I'm sorry to send it away."
When Han Sui walked away, Ju Sucai suggested to Pan Feng: "General, Jicheng is small, so there is no need to leave all the troops in the city. You can divide the troops outside the city and serve as a supportive force in the city."
"No need." Pan Feng refused flatly, "The soldiers came to Hetao from Jizhou, and marched more than a thousand miles. They fought bloody days and were so tired. The soldiers were also flesh and blood. After all, they were not iron-clad bodies. Before the horse butcher army arrived, they would let them have fun in the city for a few days."
Ju Su said helplessly: "Since that's the case, the general must send more roars to explore the horses to prevent the horses from attacking."
"Sneak attack!" Pan Feng groaned and asked, "Does the military advisor think that tens of thousands of Jizhou soldiers are all mud dolls and wooden men? With the advantage of elite soldiers and the danger of the city, how can Ma Yuejun attack sneak attack?"
Ju Su advised, "General, Ma Yue is cunning by nature, so don't be careless."
"Forget it." Pan Feng said angrily, "Since the military advisor is so cautious, you will lead fifty personal soldiers to patrol the night."
Ju Xu said in shock: "This~~"
Pan Feng said coldly: "What, does the military advisor want to disobey the military order?"
Ju Su sighed and said, "Super~~ obey the order."
It got dark again.
Taking advantage of the night's cover, a cavalry of forty or fifty men appeared silently hundreds of steps east of Meiji City.
Although Ju Su tried his best to persuade Pan Feng to divide his troops to garrison outside the city, Pan Feng refused to accept it at all. In anger, he sent Ju Su out to act as a detective! At this time, Meiji City was immersed in a filthy voice. Whether it was Liangzhou soldiers or Jizhou soldiers, they were venting their young and vigorous vitality on the women's bodies.
Except for the few guards arranged on the city wall, no one patrolled outside the city.
A cavalry got off his horse and searched carefully for a while, and said to Xu Chu, who was leading the army: "General, we have found it."
"Um?"
Xu Chu's expression moved and he quickly turned over and got off the horse. Sure enough, he found a piece of wooden stake stuck in the grass. Because the night was dark, it would be difficult to detect if he didn't get close to it and look carefully.
"Well, it's here. Dig down for me, hurry!"
Forty and fifty cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, waved their prepared iron picks to dig around the wooden stakes. In less than a moment, there was a hole in the bottom that three people could enter and exit in parallel! Xu Chu waved his hand, and three short soldiers bent down with fire and crawled into the hole and disappeared into the dark corridor. The rest of the soldiers turned over and dispersed, scattering loudly, responsible for guarding the hole.
Meijixicheng.
Han Sui suddenly woke up from his sleep by heat. He reached out and touched his face, his body was covered in sweat. He looked up at the sky outside the window. It was still pitch black, and he couldn't help but wonder.
It's not yet dawn, why is it so hot?
Han Sui stepped on the ground and almost screamed. Why is the ground so hot? It can burn your feet! Just when he was surprised and confused, a horse suddenly roared outside the window.
"Lord is not good, Ma Yue's army is back!"
"What!?" Han Sui was shocked and hurriedly put on his horse boots, without even exploring why the ground became so hot. He hurriedly came out of the house and asked loudly, "How many people are there?"
Ma Wan took a breath and wiped away the sweat from her forehead. She thought it was so hot that day. She replied while thinking: "It's not true to see in the darkness, but the densely packed outside the city is full of torches. At least 50,000 or 60,000 cavalrymen."
"So much?" Han Sui took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "Go and go and have a look."
Han Sui rushed to the west gate under the escort of Ma Wan and his personal soldiers. The group hurriedly climbed the city tower. As expected, under the dark night sky outside the city, there were dense torches. The horses were neighing and the sound was terrifying. The endless army actually surrounded Meiji City on all sides, and it was incomplete.
Beautiful outside Jicheng.
Jia Xu said to Ma Yue: "Master, you can start!"
"Yeah." Ma Yue nodded and said in a deep voice, "Send the order, raise the fire!"
"The general has an order to raise a fire~~"
"The general has an order to raise a fire~~"
"The general has an order to raise a fire~~"
Ma Yue's military order quickly spread throughout the army. The soldiers spread the hay branches prepared in advance on the ground, poured them with tinder oil, butter, and mutton fat oil, and then ignited them with flint. Suddenly, flames gushed up, and quickly spread along the hay branches soaked by mutton fat oil. In less than a moment, they surrounded the entire Meiji City, forming a burning fire circle.
On the city tower, Han Sui laughed and said, "What is Ma Butcher Ma doing? Do you want to burn Meijicheng?"
Ma Wan also said, "As soon as the last thing, the butcher Ma is helpless, this is just a pretentious act."
Han Sui said: "I don't care what mysterious butcher Ma plays with it. I will send an order. The entire army should not leave the city without authorization, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy. Everything will be discussed after dawn."
Beautiful outside Jicheng.
Jia Xu stroked the willow beard on his chin and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, Liangzhou Army and Jizhou Army have indeed been trapped and dare not go out of the city to meet the enemy, haha~~"
Ma Yue said with gritted teeth: "Liao Hua has spirit in the sky, and the death period of Liangzhou and Jizhou troops has arrived! This time, no one of them will escape. This general wants them to be turned into ashes~~ Bury Liao Hua and all the brothers who died! "
Guo Tu looked stern, thinking that it was probably not only the Liangzhou army, but also the 50,000 soldiers of the Jizhou army, as well as the 70,000 innocent women and old men in the city! Although Guo Tu was the initiator of this tragedy, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him when he thought about it.
"Just relying on these thousands of cavalrymen, I want to swallow tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Jizhou? I'm so arrogant!"
As Ma Yue finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly sounded from not far away. Ma Yue suddenly turned his head and saw Ju Tu coming slowly with a slender and handsome middle-aged scholar.
Ma Yue shouted, "Jutu, who is this?"
Ju Tu replied: "Lord, when the last general led the scouts to patrol the night, Yu Chengxiao encountered a small group of enemy troops. After a fierce battle, he finally wiped out the enemy troops. Seeing that this man looked gentle and did not look like a military man, he escorted him to the lord to leave."
Ma Yue shouted, "Who are you?"
The man brushed his sleeves and replied in a humble manner: "When you sit down, you don't change your surname, and you don't change your name when you walk, you don't change your name. This is Guangping Jushu."
"Ju Su?" Ma Yue frowned and pondered for a moment, but finally had no impression. He asked, "Why did he speak wildly just now?"
Ju Shu said: "It is you who speaks wildly."
"Is that true?" Ma Yue said coldly, "You will soon know that this general has not spoken wildly!"
"Go." Ju Su sneered, "Just relying on this little fire, I want to burn tens of thousands of troops in the city to ashes? It's ridiculous."
Jia Xu smiled and said, "You might as well reveal that Mr. Ju Su knows that our army is not only setting fires outside the city. When it was just dusk, my lord had already sent a tunnel dug in advance to sneak into the city to set fires. I think the defenders in the city should have already discovered it at this time, but the defenders in the city may not take it seriously, hahaha~~"
Ma Yue said coldly: "Even if they take it seriously, it will be too late to put out the fire!"
Beautiful in the city center.
"General, no, no, no." Geng Wu hurriedly climbed the city tower with a quick sound of footsteps and said quickly, "Fire, it's fire, it's fire in the city!"
"Nonsense!" Pan Feng shouted, "Although there are many wooden houses and straw sheds in Meiji City, they are all new woods and green grass. How can the fire catch?"
"It really caught fire." Geng Wu said anxiously, "Please see, General."
Pan Feng looked in the direction of Geng Wu's finger and saw that there were fires rising in several places in the city, and there was still thick smoke rising into the sky. Many soldiers and women ran out of the house naked, standing on the street and shouting, and more soldiers gathered around and shouting, and the situation was extremely chaotic.
