Chapter 202 Burning the Cherry Blossom Forest

When Taishici learned that Lu Bu was about to set fire to the cherry blossom forest, he felt confused.

They set out at night, and were defeated by Lu Bu.

Could it be that after Lu Bu won one game, he was still wary of the Jiangdong Army?

"General, what should I do?" the school next to him asked him.

"Lu Bu should be bluffing, wait a little longer..." Taishi Ci replied.

Before he could finish his words, a scout who was exploring the situation on the edge of the forest ran over quickly.

When he ran to Taishici, the scout reported in a panic expression: "Report to General, Lu Bu ordered the fire to light up the fire, and fire was lit around the forest, so we are afraid we can't get out!"

The cherry blossom forest is full of trees. Once the flames rise, he and the soldiers dormant in the forest will have no way out!

He stood up suddenly and Taishici asked the scout: "Did they really light the forest?"

"It's lit!" The scout replied in a panic: "There are fire everywhere, and the flames will come here soon..."

As he was talking, someone saw thick smoke rolling in the distance.

The thick smoke spread very quickly, just like a sudden fog in the forest, covering up the woods.

Seeing thick smoke rolling in the distance, Taishici shouted: "Everyone tear off the cloth strips from their clothes, soaked them in water and tied them around their noses. Blast out of the forest with me!"

The flames were surging from the periphery of the forest to the inside. Taishici knew that he had no extra time to delay and issued an order to rush out of the forest.

The soldiers tore off the cloth strips from their clothes, sprinkled clean water on the cloth strips, and then tied them to their noses.

"Roar out!" When the soldiers were ready, Taishici rushed towards the periphery of the forest with his two halberds.

Thousands of Jiangdong troops followed him and rushed towards the periphery of the forest.

The soldiers of Jiangdong Army rushed into the rolling smoke.

The thick smoke choked on them and they couldn't open their eyes, but they had cloth strips tied around their noses, which did not cause much harm to the respiratory tract.

The more he rushed forward, the more Taishi Ci felt a strong burn.

When he saw the blazing flames appearing in front of him, the thick smoke actually faded a lot.

Through the flames, he vaguely saw Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse and smiling coldly at this side.

Seeing Lu Bu, Taishici turned around and ran in another direction.

Although he is extremely brave, he is not stupid.

If Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and others were blocking outside, he might have tried his best, but if Lu Bu was waiting for them, he would not dare to rush out easily.

He had seen Lu Bu fight with Sun Ce with his own eyes, and Sun Ce suffered a great loss in just one or two rounds. Taishi Ci did not dare to be so arrogant that he thought he could beat Lu Bu.

Taishici turned around and ran in other directions, but the group of Jiangdong troops behind him were not sure about the situation.

They walked through the blazing flames and rushed to a place without flames.

Just as they were about to jump out of the flames and rushed outside the forest, countless arrows flew across the street.

The rain of arrows fell without warning, and the running Jiangdong army was shot and killed.

The person in front fell to the ground, while the person behind continued to run forward.

What awaits them is of course the same arrows as shooting the Jiangdong army in front of them.

The Jiangdong army who rushed to the edge of the forest fell to the ground one after another. Those who found that there was danger outside the forest turned around and fled in other directions.

They could not rush out of the forest, they could only walk through the thick smoke and flames.

Looking at the cherry blossom forest burning with a raging fire, Lu Bu curled his lips and said, "For this Jiangdong army, it's a pity that a cherry blossom forest is awesome."

"Wen Hou's fire has burned the growth of the cherry blossom forest for decades." Zhao Yun replied: "Even if someone planted cherry blossoms in the future, the trees will have to grow for many years before they can grow to what they are today."

"Trees will grow for decades and become forests. If the soldiers enter the forest and are ambushed by the enemy, I will feel very guilty." Lu Bu said with a smile: "I am never rude to the enemy, but if one of my soldiers dies, I will feel sorry for a long time."

"Wen Hou Gu Xi's soldiers, no wonder the soldiers are willing to serve Wen Hou." Zhao Yun said: "Being able to follow Wen Hou is the most honorable thing in our life!"

The archers were still shooting the Jiangdong army trying to rush out of the forest. The cherry blossom forest was also swallowed by flames, and the periphery gradually turned into a black scorched earth.

The cherry blossom trees burned into carbon columns were burning flames, and the fire had already pushed deep into the forest.

On the black and broken ground, corpses that were shot and then swallowed by fire could be seen everywhere.

Lu Bu and the people beside him smelled a strong burnt smell.

"Since the war started, two consecutive fights have been one-sided." Chen Dao said: "Our army did not suffer much loss at all, but the Jiangdong army died countless people. Taishi Ci originally planned to ambush our army behind his back, but he didn't expect it to be destroyed by us!"

"I was thinking that Zilong was right, but unfortunately there was a good cherry blossom forest." Lu Bu said with a smile: "When I take Huainan and Lujiang, I will definitely let people plant more cherry blossoms here."

The flames devoured the cherry blossom forest, and the fire became stronger and stronger.

Thousands of Jiangdong troops were either shot or burned, and only a small number of those who escaped were seriously burned.

The soldiers under Lu Bu stepped forward and carried weapons to overturn the Jiangdong army, which were burning with flames, to the ground.

Some Jiangdong troops were already injured, and they fell to the ground and rolled and wailed, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.

The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield walked past them, as if they were randomly stabbing their spears on them.

The Jiangdong army, who was stabbed by the spear, stopped howling and lay quietly on the ground, allowing the flames to swallow their bodies.

The battle ended in the flames, with burning corpses everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whether Taishi Ci was inside or not.

The fire went away, and there was a cherry blossom forest in the distance that lost its figure in the flames. Lu Bu rode the Red Rabbit Horse to the place where it was burned into scorched earth.

The scorched earth was filled with blue smoke. Fortunately, the horse's hooves had thick horny skin, and stepping on them would not burn the war horse.

After walking around the scorched earth, Lu Bu returned to the place where he was watching the war just now: "Taishici should have run away."

"It's all burned to charcoal, how did Wen Hou know that he ran away?" Chen Dao asked in surprise.

Zhao Yun also had the same doubt. Chen Dao asked, but he didn't ask too much, but just looked at Lu Bu in confusion.

"I roughly checked and all the armor on the corpse were burned to ashes, and they should be cortical." Lu Bu said: "Taishici is a general under Sun Ce. The iron armor is worn on his body. The armor cannot burn, and even if it is burned, there should be traces of iron juice flowing. I searched for a long time but couldn't see it, which shows that Taishici ran away."

"Maybe he took off his armor?" Zhao Yun said: "Wearing iron armor in the fire will be so hot that it will be too hot."
