Chapter 408: Fierce battle

Mi Zhu and others took a fishing boat and raft down the river, hoping to feel Mianzhuguan in front of the Yingyang Army. However, he saw Ying Yang's army passing through Yangchen and heading south immediately after breaking through the pass.

Mi Fang exclaimed: "Oh, no! Their speed is too fast!"

Mi Zhu was extremely anxious. If Mianzhuguan was forced to do so, Ying Yang's army would arrive in Chengdu in an instant, and the consequences would be unimaginable! The attack speed of the Ying Yang army is really like fire and wind, making people caught off guard!

Mi Zhu's thoughts turned and he hurriedly called out to Mi Fang and the others: "Cross and dock!" Mi Fang and others hurriedly rowed to the shore.

Mi Zhu immediately let everyone land ashore, and then sent Mi Fang to a nearby fishing village to collect fire, oil, firewood and other things. Immediately let Mi Fang and the others pile the firewood on the raft, put it on fire, and set it alight. In an instant, five fishing boats and rafts blazed ablaze, illuminating the entire river. Mi Zhu shouted anxiously: "Push the raft into the middle of the river, let them go down the river!" Mi Fang immediately did so, and several soldiers who knew the water dived into the water and pushed the raft into the middle of the river. I saw five boat rafts flowing downstream along the river. At this time, the sky was dark, and the five huge fires drifted along the water.

Sun Gan hurriedly boarded the gate tower of Mianzhuguan Gate and looked upstream, and he could not help frowning as he saw the huge flames flashing behind the mountain foot in the distance upstream. An officer next to him pointed to the upstream road: "We saw the fire just now. It seems to be brighter now. I don't know what happened?"

Sun Gan looked thoughtful, he didn't understand what was going on for a while.

"Look, sir!" The officer next to him suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed.

Sun Gan quickly looked up and saw a few huge flames in the distance drifting down the foot of the mountain along the river! Sun Gan was a little shocked, and the surrounding officers and soldiers were also talking about it.

Sun Gan hurriedly said to the officers around him: "Hurry up and close the city gate! Gather your troops and prepare for battle!"

The battle drums rang loudly on the city wall. Thousands of officers and men rushed up the city wall, their swords were unsheathed, their bows and crossbows were wounded, and they were ready for battle.

Almost at the same time, iron hoofs roared outside the city, smoke and dust burst, and nearly a thousand warriors rushed from the north. Sun Qian looked intently, his complexion changed, and he shouted sharply: "It's the eagle raising the army! Everyone is ready for battle!" When the officers and soldiers heard Sun Gan's shouts, they couldn't help becoming nervous.

Zhang Liao led Qianqi straight to Mianzhu Pass and stopped. Seeing that the gate of the city gate had been closed tightly, the officers and soldiers on the wall were rigorous with swords and guns, and they were clearly ready for the battle. An officer next to him shouted: "The enemy is ready!"

Zhang Liao smiled coldly, turned his head and glanced at the huge flames that were going down the river. Looking back at Xiang Chengguan, he proudly said: "How about being prepared? No one can stop our eagle and Yangjun's iron hoof!" Then he raised his broadsword and sternly shouted: "Seize the pass!"

Near Thousand Warriors immediately roared and rode straight towards the city. Immediately, all the warriors shot countless spiky arrows towards the city gate. The spiky arrows flew up with a whistling and excellent accuracy. The officers and soldiers of Liu Beijun standing by the wall were caught off guard from falling down with arrows. The exclamation and screams screamed. one slice! The originally rigorous battlefield suddenly became chaotic!

Sun Gan shouted anxiously: "Let go! Let go!" The crossbowmen on the city pass hurriedly let go, but the flying arrows seemed to be unable to stop Ying Yang's offensive.

I saw more than two hundred eagles rushing under the city wall, and then threw the lock hook on the head of the city, and then quickly climbed up with the lock hook. It was so healthy! The guards hurriedly threw the rolling stone oatmeal to the head of the city, smashing down many Yingyang army officers and soldiers, but this did not stop the Yingyang army, and in a blink of an eye, the Yingyang army officers and soldiers bite their steel knives and jumped on it one after another. To the top of the city!

There was a commotion in the city, and the two sides started fighting. The sturdy and brave Yingyang army officers and soldiers wielded the first knife to enter the enemy group, and the flesh and blood flew across the knife, as if a tiger entered the flock. Although Liu Beijun had a large number of officers and soldiers, they were killed by the Yingyang army. ! These Liu Beijun officers and soldiers have never seen such a fierce opponent, and they were so terrified that they were killed. Some people couldn't help the fear in their hearts and turned around and fled for their lives!

Sun Gan was shocked when he saw this scene, and hurriedly led his people to stop the officers and soldiers who had fled, forcing them to continue fighting. On the top of the city, as more and more Yingyang army officers and soldiers boarded the city, the situation is rapidly deteriorating. Those eagle and young soldiers are all worth ten, which is simply not enough! At the head of a city, five or six Yingyang army officers and soldiers cooperated and smashed forward, dozens of hundreds of Liu Beijun officers and soldiers could not resist being killed and retreat back and forth, their positions were already chaotic!

An aide beside Sun Gan yelled in trepidation, "Too, it's terrible! Your lord, run away!"

Sun Gan was furious, he drew his sword and killed the staff. When everyone around saw this, they couldn't help but feel shocked and shocked! Sun Gan carried a **** sword and stared at the crowd and shouted: "If you dare to retire, you will not forgive!" Then he shouted to an officer: "Immediately lead the army to reinforce the city!" The officer clasped his fist and promised. Immediately yelled at the nearly a thousand officers and soldiers behind him, and then led them straight to the city wall.

Zhang Liao, who was immediately outside the city gate, saw many enemy troops rushing towards the fierce battle along the front of the city, and immediately ordered the war cavalry outside the city to concentrate fire on those reinforcements. The warriors outside the city immediately bent their bows to shoot a wave of arrows toward the city. Those reinforcements did not expect the opponent's crossbow attack to be so fast and accurate. They were shot down many times, and the screams screamed! The rest were in fear, and turned around and ran backwards, but they were shot all over the floor by the second wave of arrows flying up outside the city!

Sun Gan and the others opened their eyes wide, and their expressions were horrified.

The troops supporting the city were torn apart by two waves of arrow rain by Yingyang warriors outside the city. At the same time, the offensive force of the city grabbing troops was even fiercer! Although Liu Beijun's officers and soldiers numbered several times as many as the opponent, they couldn't resist it at first sight! The entire defense line of the city wall will collapse at any time when it seems to be shaky! Among the fiercely fighting crowd, an Eagle Yang warrior knocked down the opponent on the left with a left hand, and slashed the enemy officer in front of him with a knife with his right hand, scaring the current Liu Beijun officers and soldiers back again and again!

Faced with such a situation, Sun Gan was extremely anxious! As the saying goes, when the dog is in a hurry, he will jump over the wall. Sun Gan is extremely anxious, but he suddenly has a strategy in his heart! Sun Gan hurriedly shouted to everyone around him: "Hurry up and release the rocket! Hurry up and release the rocket on the city!"

Everyone was shocked. An officer shouted anxiously: "My lord, there are a lot of kerosene and firewood on the city. If the rocket is set off, it will inevitably cause a fire, wouldn't it mean that even our officers and soldiers will suffer!"

Sun Gan yelled anxiously, "I can't take care of that much now! Let go of the rocket!"

The officers were unable to, so they had to follow the order and ordered more than two hundred archers to ignite the rocket and shoot towards the top of the city. I saw the rockets sparsely landed on the top of the city. Doesn't seem to have any effect? However, a few moments later, several fires jumped from the top of the city. It was the firewood stacked on the top of the city that was set ablaze. Seeing this, some people may wonder why there are firewood piled on the top of the city? In fact, this is a very normal thing, because in ancient times, flames were not only a weapon for offensive, but also a smart strategy for defense. When the enemy attacked the city, lighting firewood and throwing it down from the city’s head could not only kill the enemy, but also Burn down the ladder and hinder the enemy's attack.

The firewood on the head of the city burned and spread quickly, and I saw clumps of flames raging on the city wall. It was already night, and the male's burning flame turned the wall into daylight. Boom! Suddenly a violent explosion shook the mountain! A dazzling firelight rises from the top of the city! ! Sun Gan and the others couldn't help changing their colors when they saw this majestic scene. It turned out that the flames spread over the city, and even ignited the porcelain cylinder containing kerosene. The kerosene burned violently in the porcelain cylinder and exploded, creating the scene just now! Of course, the power of this kind of explosion is incomparable with the explosives of modern society, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is a very amazing sight!

The officers and soldiers of Liu Beijun on the front of the city were terrified and threw their helmets and armors to escape to the city. The Ying Yang army took advantage of the trend and killed Liu Beijun officers and soldiers all over the floor.

Sun Gan was surprised and regretted seeing this scene. He didn't expect that his move seemed to help his opponent!

Liu Beijun was defeated and fled to the city. Sun Gan couldn't imagine, he was ready to escape.

However, something unexpected happened at this moment. It turned out that the flames spread across the city, not only igniting piles of firewood, but also igniting cylinders of kerosene! The fire cracked the porcelain cylinder, and the kerosene was flowing out on the city wall and flowing everywhere along the city wall, bringing the flames everywhere! After a while, the entire city wall was blazing, like a wall of fire! Although the Ying Yang army was sturdy and brave, they couldn't stand in the fire, and they had to retreat from the city. Sun Gan's faint move unexpectedly repelled Ying Yang's attack by mistake!

All parts of the Yingyang Army retreated to Zhang Liao's side, and the offensive came to a halt. Looking at the burning city wall, Zhang Liao smiled and cursed: "I didn't expect that there would be decent people in Shu!" However, Zhang Liao obviously didn't intend to stop it. He turned his head and shouted to the two officers beside him: "You immediately go to collect the ship nearby. Come on the raft!" The two clasped their fists and yelled at their subordinates, and everyone turned their horses and ran down.

Inside the city, Sun Gan and others looked at the empty and burning city wall stupidly, and they were surprised that the enemy army retreated. After Sun Gan came back to his senses, he only felt that the raging fire in front of him was his support, and he urged all the officers and soldiers to go to the city to collect wood and kerosene for use.

When he was busy, an officer rushed to Sun Gan and reported with joy: "My lord, General Pang Yi has led the army!"
