The sun had already set below the mountain, and Yuan Shu's army poured into Dan Tu in a mighty manner. He originally thought that after breaking the city gate, he could capture Dan Tu in one fell swoop, but the progress of the battle was not as smooth as he imagined.
Ji Ling led his troops into the city in a mighty manner, but encountered unimaginable resistance. The troops in the city launched a desperate resistance against Yuan Jun. In just one afternoon, they lost 20,000 soldiers in order to wipe out these remnants.
Ma, you must know that the total siege losses in the past few days have not been this high!
Walking on the cold streets, many houses have collapsed, but no one came out to clean them.
There are still remains of flesh and blood on the streets, silently telling the tragedy of this battle. Occasionally, the clash of weapons and shouts of death can be heard in the city, but Ji Ling, who has experienced countless battles, knows very well that this tragic battle
The battle is over.
Just a small alchemy disciple spent nearly 30,000 troops. A thought suddenly flashed in Ji Ling's mind. This battle did not seem to be as smooth as imagined.
"The whole city is under martial law, search every house, and any enemy remnants encountered will be killed on the spot!"
Ji Ling issued the order, then handed the things at hand to his deputy general Lejiu, and hurriedly led a few personal guards out of the city to report the victory to Yuan Shu. In any case, this battle was considered an initial victory. Capturing Dantu was equivalent to opening the offensive.
The gate of Wujun.
He hurriedly walked out of the city gate with his bodyguards, and a large number of Huainan County troops were entering the city gate in an orderly manner. Under the night sky, the entire Dan disciples were lifeless, like a dead city, and the black city gate was like a huge wild beast.
His mouth kept devouring Yuan Jun.
Somehow, Ji Ling felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He frowned slightly and looked back in the direction of the city gate. There seemed to be a strange smell in the air.
He shook his head with a wry smile. Perhaps he was disturbed by the losses in this battle. Ji Ling ignored it and followed the direction of the army's landing to the temporary dock, where Yuan Shu was waiting.
His good news...
Outside the south gate of Dantu City, standing on a small hill, Xu Rong looked solemn. Next to him were Gao Chong, Jiang Jin and other generals assigned to him by Qin Tian. Behind him, there were more than 10,000 soldiers.
, these soldiers all retreated from the city. Ten thousand people stood there, but there was no sound. It was quiet. Each of them exuded a murderous aura. The murderous aura of tens of thousands of people were connected together, making the surrounding people
The temperature seems to have dropped a few degrees.
From time to time, there was a sound of sparks exploding from the torch. Xu Rong and Gao Chong looked at the direction of Dantu City with stern eyes, both pairs of eyes exuding a frightening light.
Xilulu~
A scout galloped on his horse from a distance, jumped off his horse, rushed to the two men, bowed and said: "Marshal, all Yuan Shu's vanguard troops have entered the city!"
Xu Rong frowned and murmured: "Is it just the vanguard army? It seems that Yuan Shu is not a straw bag, and he fired loud arrows."
"Here!" Jiang Jin gritted his teeth, took off the strong attack on his back, lit the arrow soaked in kerosene on the torch, and shot it into the night sky.
"Boom~" The rocket soared into the sky, looking extremely eye-catching in the night sky.
The corners of Gao Chong's eyes twitched violently a few times, and his face became a little pale. He knew very well that this arrow not only represented the entry into the city, but also the destruction of the 50,000 Yuan Shu vanguard army that they had left behind.
There is no hope for the survival of the one thousand soldiers in the city!
…
The city gate opened, and Yuan Shu, accompanied by Ji Ling, entered the city gate hole. Through the city gate hole, he could see the streets in the city clearly. Looking at the quiet Dantu City, there were only some sounds of people in the direction of the troops stationed, and others
The place was as quiet as a ghost, and a gust of cool wind blew by. Yuan Shu suddenly felt a bit cold behind him, and his scalp was numb. If he didn't worry about his dignity, he really wanted to turn around and go back.
"Lord, the south gate, east gate and west gate of the city have been blocked from the inside with earth and rocks!" A general patrolling the city arrived just in time, came to Yuan Shu's side and bowed.
"What?" Yuan Shu looked at the person with some surprise. Some monks who were two feet tall were confused and asked in surprise: "Then why are there no traces of the bandit army in the city?"
You ask me, I ask who is going, the general smiled bitterly, hesitated and said: "Maybe he has died in the battle before."
Not to mention Yuan Shu, even he himself didn't believe this statement. If this was true, why hadn't it been discovered before?
"Lord, look!" Ji Ling, who had just come out of the city gate, suddenly focused his eyes, pointed at the sky in the distance, and said urgently.
Yuan Shu subconsciously raised his head, only to see a small fire slowly rising into the sky in the direction of Dantu's north gate. It looked very eye-catching in the dark night sky, and a bad premonition came to Yuan Shu's heart.
"Who is it! Enemy attack!" A burst of noise suddenly sounded. Everyone looked around and saw silhouettes of people appearing on the street at some unknown time. They were all wearing Wu Jun's military uniforms, holding torches, and their faces were filled with tears.
Looking crazy.
"Puff~Puff~Puff~"
Several steel knives struck a Wu Jun's body, leaving hideous wounds on his body. However, the Wu Jun ignored them and threw the torch in his hand in one direction at the last moment of his life.
"Bang~"
A burst of flames suddenly shot up, and then spread quickly to the surroundings. The expressions of Yuan Shu and Ji Ling changed, and the expressions of the surrounding generals and soldiers also changed. At this moment, flames continued to appear in the entire Dantu City.
In the blink of an eye, Dantu City, which was originally like a dead city, turned into a sea of fire, with monstrous flames radiating scorching heat to all around.
The wind in March, even in the south, is still a bit cold, and the cold is biting. At this time, it has become a help force for the spread of the fire. In an instant, the wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. In an instant, the entire Dan disciple,
Covered in a sea of fire.
In the city, in the direction where Yuan Jun was stationed, shrill screams rang out continuously. Countless soldiers were awakened from their sleep. When they rushed out of the door frantically, they found that the way out had been blocked by ruthless people.
Yuan Jun was like a fly on his brow, scurrying around. One of the soldiers accidentally fell into the fire ditch, and was immediately covered with kerosene. His whole body was set on fire, but he couldn't die for a while. He screamed and screamed everywhere.
The collision caused many places that were not on fire to be ignited, which undoubtedly contributed to the spread of the fire.
The two soldiers rushed over and chopped down their former companion with a knife. However, looking at the doors and windows that were sealed by everyone, and feeling the hot air constantly burning their skin, they suddenly felt that it was actually easier to die like this.
, is also a happy thing.
Lejiu's angry shouts sounded not far away, and many soldiers quickly approached Lejiu's direction as if they had found a backbone.
"Boom~"
Finally, a private house could not withstand the destruction of the crowd and collapsed. Sparks splashed into the crowd, causing waves of panicked roars. The scorching temperature continued to rise. Looking around, there was a sea of fire, including
The joy was within, and a hint of despair rose in everyone's eyes.
The flames not only brought destruction, but also constantly destroyed everyone's spirit, making them violent. At first, they just pulled each other back, but then evolved into killing each other. The darkness of human nature is like this.
The moment of doomsday was the most perfect interpretation.
The strong smell of barbecue mixed with the smell of burnt hair penetrated everyone's nostrils, making people even crazier.
"Get out of the city! Get out of the city!" Lejiu roared and twitched the horse's buttocks with his whip crazily. At this time, he didn't care about the life and death of his men. After roaring, he took the lead in riding towards the end of the line, but in a panic
In the middle, the direction of his charge was not the north gate, but the west gate which had been confirmed to be sealed...
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Yuan Shu's face turned pale and he roared sternly. He turned around and ran towards the outside of the city. He couldn't care less about the life and death of the 50,000 vanguard troops in the city and the general Le Sui. Now, he just wanted to do it as soon as possible.
Get out of this hell.
In fact, there was no need for him to give orders at all. The generals around him, except Ji Ling, had already begun to retreat crazily out of the city when the fire was about to spread here. Water and fire are ruthless. Fear is human instinct, and not everyone is like that.
Able to fight to the death.
It's just that now Yuan Shu has no intention of blaming them anymore. Under the protection of Ji Ling, he hurried out of the city gate. Ji Ling looked back at the city, and from time to time he could see several tumbling fire men rushing towards them.
, and the screams one after another, the corners of my eyes couldn't help but twitch, and at the same time, a feeling of humiliation rose in my heart. This was the first time, the first time that they were so defeated, and 50,000 troops could serve as a vanguard.
But they were all elites in hundreds of battles, and now they were completely burned down by a fire. Even if Yuan Shu suddenly lost 50,000 troops, it was definitely a big loss!
After retreating to the port, Yuan Shu stopped. Looking at the fiery red city under the dark night, the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth kept twitching. It was easy to destroy a famous city, but it was too difficult to build one. Originally, this third-level county town was
The historic city was already in his pocket. This feeling of losing it after gaining it made Yuan Shu's heart bleed.
"Qingtian! If I don't kill you, you will be a useless person!" Yuan Shu looked up to the sky and let out a shrill roar. This was the first defeat in his life!
"Kill!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cry of killing suddenly came from the distance. In the dark night, only the silhouettes of people were seen, as if countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards this direction. Many people shouted: "Capture Yuan Shu alive!"
Yuan Shu's already pale face became even paler, and a trace of bone-chilling resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Lord, hurry up! Sons of the army, follow me to fight!" Ji Ling jumped on his horse, waved the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, and rushed out first.
"Yuan Shu, come and accept your fate!" A military general came galloping towards him. With the light of Dantu's fire, Yuan Shu finally saw clearly the appearance of the person who came, and exclaimed in surprise: "Highly favored!"
