Chapter 402 Crossing the River
When there was a fire in the city, the east and west city gates suddenly closed. No matter how the soldiers in the city collided, the city gates did not mean to be opened at all. It was strange that the fire in the city soared into the sky, but the city gate, which was only a few feet away from the fire, could not even feel the heat.
The soldiers who rushed into Xinye City were all cavalry, and many of them died in the fire, most of whom were trampled by their companions' horses, and the rest were killed by thick smoke and fire. The general who led his troops into the city was Cao Cao's ancestor brother, Cao Ren, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty.
Cao Ren rode on his horse and saw that it was impossible to rush out of the city gate. At that moment, he carefully observed the terrain in the city and saw that the fire in the southwest was the weakest, and the city wall here looked the thinnest, as if he could kick the front wall with a casual kick. After Cao Ren understood, he immediately turned his horse's head and directed his soldiers to move under the southwest city wall.
Looking at the thousands of Cao troops in a hurry, Gui Bugui, who used the invisibility method to stand in the corner, smiled and said to himself: "When a few fight against the masses, use fire to attack, this kind of military strategy is nothing special. Is this over? I am a little disappointed..."
Before Gui Bugui was finished, Cao Ren's army had already reached the southwest city wall. Just as he was commanding the army to break through the city wall, the crumbling city wall suddenly collapsed on its own. A hundred Cao's army could not dodge and was crushed to death under the city wall. Then, a white-robed general holding a silver spear rushed in with hundreds of soldiers along the collapsed gap of the city wall.
The general who rushed in was surprised by his gun technique and rushed into Cao's army. As his silver spear danced, Cao's army kept killing the spear tip of the man. While the white-robed general killed the enemy, the soldiers on both sides kept throwing the already ignited lamp oil cans at the location where Cao's army was many. After the can was broken, the lamp oil inside suddenly turned into a large sea of fire, wrapping the surrounding Cao's army inside.
In a moment, dozens of fire cups were thrown in. The Cao army did not dare to move forward and began to flee backward. The general who led the troops and his hundreds of personal soldiers left the general Baipao who rushed in. Cao Ren was not as capable as the white-robed general. When he was about to die, a strange wind suddenly blew behind Cao Ren. A figure took advantage of the wind to reach his side. The figure suddenly reached out and grabbed Cao Ren. At this time, the wind suddenly changed. The strong wind blew towards the white-robed general.
When the white-robed general led his soldiers to retreat temporarily to avoid the fire, the war horse under Cao Ren suddenly screamed, and then he fled out of the collapsed gap of the city wall like lightning. Unfortunately, the thousands of soldiers who followed Cao Ren into the city, except for his commander, almost all died in the sea of fire in the city.
When he saw the young white-robed general coming in from outside the weakest city wall, Gui Bugui Huan involuntarily nodded and said, "This is interesting. Zhuge Liang's little baby is still a bit cruel. He wants to kill all of them. Are you not afraid of losing his life if you burn so many people to death?"
Almost as soon as this sentence was finished, a new change occurred on the battlefield. Cao Ren, who was almost certain to die, was rescued by a figure. The old guy frowned, and looked at Wu Mian who was still watching the fun. After ignoring him, Gui Bugui still said to him: "This is a magic..."
"There is no alchemist, who cares about your art? You are just looking for a home to eat..." Wu Mian also saw that the use of art was used to save Cao Ren's figure, but this kind of alchemist is not very clever. Xiao Rensan is much more skillful in using ordinary wind control techniques than this person.
"I've finished watching this fire attack, go and watch the next one," while speaking, Wu Mian had already walked towards the position of the white-robed general. The general saw Cao Ren being rescued until he was unintentionally chasing him and no longer paid attention to the Cao army trapped by the fire. At that moment, this man rode his horse and his soldiers out of Xinye City and ran down to another road.
No matter how the general rode his horse, Wu Mian always kept a distance of more than ten feet from him, followed closely, and the white-haired man followed him with a smile, Gui Bugui and Bai Wuqiu. When the fire in Xinye City was in full swing, Little Ren San had already crawled into the ground. The most taboo thing about this ginseng doll was to roast the fire.
After the white-robed general ran out of the official road that was twenty miles away, he suddenly entered the fork road and continued along the mountain road. After running out for more than ten miles, he passed through the mountain road and saw a big river in the distance. Countless people were walking along the riverside towards the ferry not far away.
There were more than a hundred ships of all sizes and sizes docked at the ferry. The people filled with boats drove towards the other side of the river. As these ships shuttled back and forth across the river, a large number of people had crossed the river to the other side.
At the ferry where the people cross the river, dozens of military tents have been set up. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each brought thousands of troops to suppress the situation. Judging from their posture, they should be waiting for Cao Cao's army to arrive and rushed out to fight for a while to buy time for the people.
The white-robed general rushed to the riverside and met his lord Liu Bei and the Wolong gentleman Zhuge Liang in the military tent. He immediately told the story of burning Cao Ren in Xinye City. When Cao Ren was rescued by a strange figure, Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. However, Mr. Kong Ming was very well-educated. He waited until the white-robed general finished speaking, and he said, "Thank you, General Zilong, this is Cao Ren's life, but then let Cao Ren's figure go, does the general see his appearance clearly? This person has done nothing else besides saving Cao Ren, such as casting spells to kill our soldiers."
The general named Zilong shook his head and said, "The figure appeared out of thin air. His appearance was vague and he could not recognize his appearance. It was a matter of saving Cao Ren in an instant. Looking back now, there was no extra action, nor did he kill and injure our soldiers. He just helped Cao Ren escape."
Zhuge Kongming slapped his feather fan and slapped it twice, then smiled slightly, and said to the white-robed general: "General Zhao asked for a rest in the account. I will wait for Mrs. Mi to bring the young master to come later, and I will cross the river together..."
Originally, the white-robed general was about to walk out of the military tent, but after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, he hurried back. Zhao Zilong frowned and looked at Liu Bei who was sitting in the middle of the tent without saying a word, "Lord, why has the wife and the little master arrived yet? Zilong has rushed back, why has the little master not come back yet?"
Liu Chan was just born, and he came back to report that Cao Cao personally led an army of hundreds of thousands less than a hundred miles away from Xinye, and was dividing into several routes toward Xinye. Among them, Cao Ren was the vanguard and led thousands of cavalry to kill here. At that time, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, the independent Duke Liu Bei, all the soldiers and civilians abandoned Xinye City and crossed the river to avoid Jiangdong.
Because he was worried that the troops would be recalculated by Cao's army when they were evacuating, a counselor from Liu Bei offered a plan. The lord Liu Bei and the young master Liu Chan evacuated to Jiangdong separately. If Liu Bei had any accidents at that time, at least the lord's flesh and blood would be in the world. Everyone would accept the protection of the young master Liu Chan. Liu Bei did not know why he followed this plan and asked his concubine Mrs. Mi to take his only son Liu Chan to come over from another one. However, the few of them should have arrived long ago, why haven't they arrived yet for such a long time?
Hearing this, Zhao Zilong's brows frowned. He was not like this when he burned Cao Ren's army in Xinye City. At this moment, the white-robed general asked Liu Bei for orders to welcome his wife and young master.
Liu Bei had just sent a group of troops to greet him. He didn't want him to go, but he couldn't stand Zhao Zilong's begging, so he could only promise him to bring his troops to greet his wife and children.
Seeing Zhao Zilong ordering his troops to set off towards Xinye again, Wu Mian, who was hiding his body, said to Gui Bugui beside him: "Are you and Zuo Ci both calculated wrong? You can only be considered an emperor for a lifetime?"
