Rockets wrapped in tarpaulin were fired into the valley, igniting fires.
"boom!!"
The rocket hit a soldier, and sparks flew out, immediately igniting the soldier's armor. These rockets were extremely difficult to extinguish, and burning on the soldier's body was a headache.
Sun Ce looked at the soldiers staggering around and struggling in the sea of fire, and his heart felt extremely cold.
This time, the situation is more dangerous than the last time in the Shu army camp outside Jingzhou, and it will definitely be difficult to escape.
Sun Ben quickly ran to Sun Ce and said loudly: "Sir, the road to Chaisang is blocked, and a sea of fire is ignited in the rear. The situation is very dangerous. Now we only have to go back to where we came from, and retreat.
Retreat immediately, there may be a chance to break out."
Sun Bi was Sun Ce's family general.
He had no scruples in what he said and directly suggested Sun Ce to retreat.
Sun Ce shook his head, simply sat down, and said unhurriedly: "Sun Ben, if Jia Xu doesn't take action, it will be a big deal. He worked so hard to let Gan Ning lead the navy to retreat for two seconds.
Ten miles away, it made me think that the soldiers in the Shu army were tired, which attracted me to send troops. Now that the fire was burning, Jia Xu had already arranged enough kerosene and nitrate, and estimated the amount that could burn us to ashes.
There are countless enemy troops outside, and it is simply harder to break out of the sea of fire than to reach the sky."
Sun Ben said in a deep voice: "Young Master, if you sit still and wait for death, you will definitely die. If you take the initiative to retreat, there is still a chance of survival!"
Sun Ce's energy perked up, but then he became depressed again.
Can a moth fly into a flame and succeed?
Outside the fire, Gan Ning and his army quietly looked at the burning valley, with a calm expression, but there was still a flash of fear in his eyes. Such a fire was simply burning mountains and boiling seas, no matter whether it was tens of thousands of troops, or
Hundreds of thousands of troops had to be burned with a single fire. When Gan Ning received the order from Jia Xu, he thought that Sun Ce might leave via Jiujiang, but he did not expect that Sun Ce would actually follow Chaisang and entered the ambush set by Jia Xu.
In this way, Gan Ning had the opportunity to burn Sun Ce.
The soldiers formed an array, and dense rockets were fired continuously, blocking the hope of Sun Ce's army to rush out.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led more than 20,000 elite troops to catch up and stopped beside Gan Ning.
Gan Ning glanced at everyone, then glanced at the fire in front of him, and sighed: "What a fire!"
Zhou Tai also sighed with emotion: "The military advisor is really a god!"
Jiang Qin nodded and said nothing but agreed with Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's words.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and there is already a meaty aroma permeating the mountain forest, which is very tempting. If you don't know the situation, you may swallow your saliva when you smell this meaty aroma, thinking about quenching your greed. However, outside the valley,
After the soldiers smelled the smell, not only did they not have any greedy thoughts, but their faces turned pale, they looked disgusted, and their expressions were very ugly.
As long as they think about it, they will feel extremely scared.
Everyone began to retreat unconsciously.
Among these people, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were all stationed far away from the valley, watching the fire that lit up half of the sky.
In the valley, the situation was chaotic.
Sun Ben stood next to Sun Ce and said, "Sir, why don't you retreat? If you delay for a while, it will be too late."
"Cough! Cough!!!"
Sun Ben was choked by the thick smoke and coughed loudly several times.
Sun Ce stood there and said in a deep voice: "So what if we escape from the sea of fire? There are Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's people outside. Even if we kill them, there is no way we can escape."
Sun Ce dusted off the ashes on his body and remained seated.
Sun Ben was so angry that he simply stretched out his hand to drag Sun Ce and said: "Master, you must save your life no matter what. If it doesn't work, you will temporarily surrender to Gan Ning and survive. When the lord gets the news, he will definitely send someone to arrest you."
We were rescued. Even if the lord comes personally, we cannot win the situation in front of us. You have to survive."
Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Everyone can surrender, but I can't."
He waved his hand and said: "Gather all the generals in the army, I have something to say."
Seeing Sun Ce's insistence, Sun Ben could only recruit the generals who were still preventing the soldiers from resisting the rockets and preparing to break out, and gathered them next to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce glanced at everyone and shouted in a deep voice: "The matter is now over. You don't need to continue to resist. You can surrender directly after rushing out of the sea of fire. I will allow you to surrender."
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion.
"Young Master, we surrendered, what will you do?"
A general heard this and immediately asked.
Sun Ce straightened his messy bun and said seriously: "The fire here is all over the sky. It will definitely be burned to ashes by the fire. It can be used as a burial place for this general."
After hearing this, Sun Ben felt extremely sad in his heart and said in a deep voice: "My lord, you are determined to die, and the general will be willing to live and die with you. If you stay, the general will also be willing to stay."
Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Sun Ben, why are you doing this?"
Sun Ben said: "The Lord has humiliated his ministers to death, and the young master would rather die than surrender. How can a junior general be greedy for life?"
"My eldest son, the last general has taken the first step."
"Clang!"
Sun Ben drew his sword out of its scabbard and stabbed himself with the horizontal sword.
The sharp sword blade easily cut through Sun Ben's skin, slicing the blood vessels. Sun Ben glanced at Sun Ce, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, not much sadness. He leaned back and fell with a thud.
On the ground, dust was splashed all over the ground. This Sun Ce family general ended his life in the most violent way and died in front of Sun Ce.
"If the eldest son is unwilling to be an only child, how can the junior general survive?"
A loud shout came, but it was Gu Gang, a young general under Sun Ce. This man was a distant relative of the Gu family, a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and served under Sun Ce. He also took drastic measures and committed suicide by drawing a sword.
When Sun Ce saw it, the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
The scene before him made him feel moved and ashamed at the same time.
What was touching was that these generals died with him one after another. What was more touching was that because of his impulse, everyone died with him. This was the saddest part in Sun Ce's heart.
"My eldest son, I will take the first step."
"My eldest son, I will go to explore the way for you first."
"I will live and die with the eldest son in the end!"
…
Each of the generals had a look of brave death on their faces, and they all stabbed themselves. Corpses fell beside Sun Ce. Blood overflowed and dyed the ground red. Soon they were dried by the fire. In the blink of an eye,
, all the soldiers around Sun Ce died. No one was greedy for life and feared death, and they all committed suicide.
If you can't get out, you might as well die with Sun Ce.
"Hahaha……"
Sun Ce looked at the corpses lying on the ground and suddenly laughed loudly.
He walked back and forth among the corpses of his generals, with a crazy expression on his face. He looked at Huo Haiwai's situation and shouted: "Children of Jiangdong, don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of death!"
The roar echoed, making the surrounding soldiers feel emotional after hearing it.
Sun Ce pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed himself with the sword.
"boom!"
Sun Ce's body suddenly fell to the ground, motionless, and lost his breath.
Around Sun Ce, there were nearly twenty corpses, all of which were Wu generals who committed suicide. After Sun Ce committed suicide, most of the soldiers chose to break out, and a small number of soldiers chose to commit suicide. The fire burned and burned everything.
, especially since the ground was covered with nitrate charcoal, the fire was scorching and fierce.
Everything in the valley was burned to death by the fire.
