Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 462: Precarious

The flames burned more and more vigorously, and in the sound of the blazing fire, there was the scream of Xianbei people, and the air was filled with the disgusting aroma of barbecue! The Xianbei people were panicked and desperately crowded towards the city gate, thinking that only there would be able to escape! People are crowded and people are stepping on people, the city gate cave is crowded with water and water is different!

Hao She finally squeezed to the iron gate, struggling to lift the iron gate. However, with the courage of Haoshe, he can't lift this critical sluice even with the strength of the breastfeeding! Seeing this, the surrounding officers and soldiers hurried to help, but dozens of people still couldn't shake the iron gate with all their strength!

Kebi was able to see this scene, and hurriedly ordered dozens of his warriors to assist from outside! These sixty or seventy people inside and outside all grabbed the iron gate and worked hard to lift it up. The iron gate made a loud bang, and it rose slowly! Hao She and the others couldn't help cheering, and even if they had the strength to feed themselves, they wanted to lift the iron gate as soon as possible! Seeing the iron gate keep rising!

Suddenly, the sound of water came from overhead, and it turned out that Qin Jun dumped a bucket of kerosene from the hole above the city gate! Hao She was shocked and yelled anxiously: "Just work harder!!" Everyone knew that the situation was at a critical stage, and they desperately lifted the iron gate!

At this moment, a few torches fell from the leader! The flickering fire light reflected the terrified expressions of Hao She and others! The torch fell into the muddy kerosene, and the orange-red flames immediately appeared, spreading violently, and the flames instantly flooded the entire city gate cave! Hao She and the others couldn't help screaming when they were burned by the fire, and they ran around trying to escape. The officers and soldiers outside lacked the assistance of Hao She and the others. They couldn't hold the iron gate, and the iron gate crashed back!

The officers and soldiers outside wanted to hold up the iron gate again, but the fire had become fierce, and teeth and claws continued to gush out from the gap in the iron gate! The officers and soldiers outside cannot get close, so there is no need to lift the iron gate at all! The Xianbei outside the city watched as the fire was burning, the flames spread their teeth and claws, and the comrades trapped in Wengcheng screamed sternly, and countless people crowded in front of the iron gate and stretched out their scorched hands to escape. On the day of birth, he finally died in front of the iron gate! After a while, the screams gradually subsided, there was no more movement in Wengcheng, only the flames were still burning fiercely, but the fire was much weaker than before! The air is full of disgusting burnt smell! Looking into the flames, one could see the layers of corpses of the Xianbei people, especially the Shishan near the city gate. It was really shocking!

Kebi was able to recover, furious, and ordered the army to attack the city! The Xianbei who came back to their senses immediately launched a fierce attack! Xu Huang immediately commanded his soldiers to rely on the city wall to resist desperately, and the fierce battle continued for more than an hour!

Kebi could gradually calm down. Seeing that the morale of our officers and soldiers was so low that it was difficult to break the city for a while, they ordered the army to stop offensive and return to the camp.

Xu Huang thought that the enemy had temporarily given up, so he ordered the army to take turns on guard, and he went back to the city gate to rest by himself. After working hard for most of the night, Xu Huang fell asleep as soon as he sat down.

General! General!

Xu Huang woke up when he heard the shouts of his subordinates. Seeing the anxious general in front of him, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?" The general pointed out and said anxiously: "The enemy is taking action again!"

Xu Huang frowned, Huo Sui raised, took his big axe and rushed out of the gate tower. Came to the railing and looked out of the city. At this time, the rising sun had just exposed half of his face, but even though it was the rising sun, the whole world was like a blood-stained sunset, and the atmosphere was very disturbing!

"Look, general!" The minister pointed to the road outside the city.

Xu Huang looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw the boundless Xianbei people swarming with a large number of ladders and catapults! Xu Huang couldn't help but change his face, and then showed a resolute look, muttering to himself: "It seems that my life has to stay here!"

Why do Xianbei people suddenly have so many ladders and catapults? In the past few days, Kebi was able to adopt Chen Chao's suggestion, and while rushing to attack Yanmen Pass, he also made Chen Chao rush to build siege equipment such as aerial ladders and catapults. In the past few days, even though Ke Bineng's attack has been frustrated, Chen Chao has fulfilled his mission and hurried out a large number of siege equipment! Ke Bi can make a comeback this time, Yanmen Pass is in jeopardy! !

The line of sight was transferred to the Wuyuan direction.

It is said that after Kebi can lead half of the soldiers and horses into Yanmen Pass to the southeast, Ke Lu led the other half of the soldiers and horses to stay in Wuyuan to contain the main force of the Qin army in Wuyuan. Ke Lu is more cautious. Facing the powerful Qin army, he didn't dare to be careless. Since Kebi was able to leave, he made the army stand firm and not fight!

On this day, Kelu stood outside the big tent, looking at the mist-shrouded city in the distance, frowning slightly, and muttering to himself: "Four days! Why didn't the enemy have any movement for four consecutive days? It's so quiet that it's irritating!"

Su Li and Bu Dugen came behind Ke Lu, Su Li said with some worry: "The King Qin has always been deceitful! He doesn't know the purpose of Da Shan's visit, but he hasn't moved for many days. I think he must be juggling something. trick!"

Ke Lu couldn't help but nodded, and asked: "What do you think King Qin has?" Su Li frowned and shook his head. "I have never figured this out!" Ke Lu's brows became tighter.

Bu Dugen laughed and said: "I don't think you need to worry too much. I think that King Qin is able to endure, and he has no choice but to face such a huge force of our army! At this moment, Da Shanyu should have taken the Yanmen Pass, and our army has already won the Yanmen Pass. The winning ticket is in hand!!" Kelu and Suli couldn't help but think so, and nodded.

An officer led a herald covered in blood hurriedly to the three of them. Seeing this scene, the three of them couldn't help but feel bad.

The officer bowed to the three of them: "Three generals, this is the messenger sent by the captain who guards Beiyu!" When everyone heard the name Beiyu, they couldn't help but be stunned. The northernmost part of Bingzhou, north of the Yellow River, has two counties. Wuyuan County is located in the west, which has a larger area, the east is Yunzhong County, and the south of Yunzhong County is the two counties of Dingxiang and Yanmen, and Yanmenguan is located in Yanmen. The middle of the door county. The Beiyu mentioned by this officer is on the northern border of Yunzhong County, on the edge of the eastern Yinshan Mountains, on the north bank of Daheishui, which is the only way to enter the grassland from the direction of Yunzhong. That day, the Qin army's **** battle finally forced the Xianbei people to regain the northern counties of Bingzhou. However, because Beiyu was not conducive to defense on the north bank of Daheishui, the Qin army did not cross Daheishui at that time. Daheishui has also become an outpost for the Xianbei people.

This time Kebi was able to go south in a big way, and there was a debate about whether to march from the direction of Beiyu or from the direction of Yinshan Pass. In the end, because Kebi was eager to destroy the Qin army to avenge the revenge, the whole army went out of the Yinshan Pass to Wuyuan and the Qin army. The battle is over. From the beginning of the war to the present, in fact, from the top to the bottom of the Xianbei people, no one thought of the issue of Beiyu's direction at all, and no one thought that there would be any problems there.

The three people thought they had heard it wrong, and Bu Dugen asked angrily: "You mean Bei Yu?"

The officer nodded. The messenger behind him immediately came forward and saluted, and said anxiously: "Three generals, the matter is not good! The Qin people suddenly appeared, and Bei Yu and Wuquan were all lost! The enemy army went straight to our king. The court is gone!"

The three were shocked, and Bu Dugen shouted: "How is this possible?! All the enemy soldiers and horses are crushed in Wuyuan. If there is any movement, how can we not find out?!" The herald could not answer this question. .

Kelu hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have, and who is the leading general?" Budugen and Suli couldn't help expressing concerns.

The messenger immediately said: "The enemy has a total of 20,000 war horses, and everyone carries three horses. They are extremely tall and brave! There are two leading generals, one is Ma Chao and the other is Zhao Yun!"

The three looked at each other. Bu Dugen smiled and said, "I don't think there is anything to worry about. The Wang Court still has 20,000 defenders, and they can't get it with 20,000 war horses!"

Kelu and Su Li were not as optimistic as he was. Su Li frowned and said, "I feel that this seems to be a conspiracy planned by the enemy a long time ago!"

Ke Lu couldn't help but nodded, frowning: "No wonder Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, the two great generals of the Qin army, have never met. It turns out that they went to Beiyu! Both of them are said to be warriors of ten thousand enemies. They are not brave. The position in the Qin army is still higher than that of Zhang Fei and others! Although the number of these 20,000 horses is small, I am afraid it is the strongest elite of the Qin army warriors! Although the Wang Court has 20,000 defenders, it is still unreasonable. what!"

Bu Dugen smiled coldly, and looked down upon Ke Lu and Su Li in his heart. He felt that these two people were too aspiring to destroy their own prestige. They were really useless!

An army officer led a young man in a robe of a scribe and rushed over and reported: "Three generals, if the prime minister's inside line sees three generals!"

The three of them immediately looked at the young man in the scribe's robe. The young man was handsome in a Confucian shirt, and seemed to be a Confucian student.

The three knew that Binzhou scholars were Chen Chao's eyeliner, and they were not surprised to see this. I saw the Confucian scholar respectfully worshipping: "I have seen three generals! Xiao Ke is polite!"

Kelu asked: "Are you the prime minister's eyeliner?"

The Confucian nodded and said, "Exactly. Little but from Wuyuan, I was ordered by the prime minister to investigate the actions of Qin Jun in Wuyuan."

Su Li asked, "What proof do you have?"

The scholar immediately took out a small black iron plate and presented it with both hands. Su Li stretched out his hand and took it. Seeing that the word "loyalty and righteousness" was engraved on the iron plate, it was the token of Chen Chao's eyeliner that was correct, so he nodded to Ke Lu.

Kelu asked: "You came suddenly, are you in a hurry?"

The scholar frowned and clasped his fist: "Exactly! This matter is extremely urgent, Xiao Ke had to venture down from the wall on the top of the city to report to the general! My apparent identity is the clerical officer of Wuyuan County. I was in the city early this morning. After receiving the news, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and the two generals of the Qin Army have already breached the royal court!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being shocked! !
