Chapter 122 Burning the White Gate Tower(1/2)
This time, Liu Bei wanted to take Xia Pi, and originally wanted Guan Yu to be the pioneer.
But Zhang Fei tried his best to win, and even Guan Yu and Jian Yong spoke for him, so Liu Bei changed his mind.
"I know Yide is concerned about Xia Pi, but I still need to be cautious.
Lu Bu is a tiger, and Chen Gong is a wise man around him, so he must be guarded; now Lu Bu wants to form an alliance with the thieves, and once he succeeds, it will be even more difficult to capture Xuzhou again. Therefore, Yide must be careful no matter what. But if the truth is not done, don’t show off.”
When Zhang Fei went out to war, Liu Bei held his hand and repeatedly reminded him.
"It doesn't matter whether Xia Pi can be seized. If Yide fails, my arm will be broken. Don't show off."
Liu Bei was afraid that Zhang Fei would be impulsive, so he repeatedly reminded him.
Zhang Fei patted his chest and promised that he would cooperate with Chen Gui.
However, the hatred in his heart became stronger and stronger. Seeing that Baimen Tower was right in front of him, he hid in the army and subconsciously held the snake spear tightly.
"Where are the soldiers under the city?"
Someone stood up on the top of the city, holding a torch, swaying up and down three times as if unintentionally.
This is a code!
Zhang Fei took a deep breath and ordered someone to come forward to answer: "We come from Tan County and are ordered by the prefect Mi to deliver supplies, food and grass."
"Wait!"
Qin Yi was on the top of the city and breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and smiled, "It's them, please open the city gate."
"good!"
Qin Yi didn't notice it, and a strange smile appeared on the face of the guard.
He turned around, followed Chen Gui's instructions, and took the torch and drew a circle in the air, as if he had suddenly failed, and threw the torch under the city.
The meaning of this action is: safe and easy to attack.
Zhang Fei showed joy on his face and ordered in a low voice: "Tell me the order, the boys will unsheath the knife, the gun is in his hand, the arrow is on the string, and the order is listened to my order."
"Okay, I'll go down to greet you."
Qin Yi's mission was completed, he breathed a long sigh and turned around to prepare to go down the city.
But he knew that the guard suddenly changed his face and shouted in a low voice: "After General Cao's order, take this food that is ripped off for me."
Before Qin Yi could react, two soldiers stepped forward, one of them pinned Qin Yi's neck and stuffed a smelly wet cloth into Qin Yi's mouth. Then he tripped his feet and put Qin Yi to the ground. The other soldiers held a rope in his hand and tied Qin Yi tightly with four hooves.
Qin Yi whined, but the wet cloth in his mouth was smelly and salty, so he couldn't make any noise.
"Take him down and leave it to General Cao to deal with it later."
The two soldiers dragged Qin Yi away, and the guard waved his hand, and someone turned the noose to open the city gate.
At the same time, a young man walked out of the shadow of the city tower, "General Hao, please prepare."
"Here."
The boy was Zhuge Liang.
And the guard general, named Hao Zhao, was a native of Bingzhou, at the age of eighteen.
He was originally a subordinate of Zhang Liao, but because Hao Zhao was ill when Zhang Liao went to war this time, he was unable to follow him.
Zhang Liao also valued him quite seriously, so he asked Hao Zhao to stay and temporarily commanded by Gao Shun. When Gao Shun left, Hao Zhao was left under Cao Xing's tent. Although he was not old, he followed Zhang Liao for many years, so his prestige in the army was not too low.
This time, Cao Xing asked him to cooperate with Zhuge Liang's actions, and Hao Zhao did a very appropriate job.
As soon as he waved his hand, he saw the soldiers on the city gate building holding a jar and stood beside the female wall of the inner city.
After the city gate opened, the carriage slowly drove into the city. Zhang Fei forced himself to patient the murderous intent in his heart, urged the horse to follow a baggage cart, and then entered the Baimen Tower. After about half of the soldiers entered the city, he suddenly heard a stern shout from the Baimen Tower: "Blast me!"
In an instant, hundreds of jars fell from the city tower, and there was a crackling sound. The pottery jar fell to the ground and the tincture oil inside suddenly flowed out. Many people were caught off guard and were hit by the pottery jar like raindrops, and their bodies were immediately stained with tincture oil. Zhang Fei walked in front and couldn't help but feel stunned. Then he realized something was wrong. He turned his horse's head and was about to speak when he saw countless torches flying down from the city.
Salterite powder is added to the tinder oil, which is more conducive to combustion.
The torch landed and suddenly it exploded, and the flames spread.
In an instant, fires surged into the sky from the Baimen Tower, and the soldiers walking behind were swallowed by the flames.
Not good, there is an ambush!
Zhang Fei was shocked and shouted loudly: "My sons, kill me!"
The rear road was isolated from the fire, and it was obviously a bit troublesome to evacuate.
Zhang Fei knew that retreating at this time would inevitably cause chaos... He simply gritted his teeth, rushed out and wanted to kill him in the city.
Behind him, the soldiers immediately stabilized their positions after a panic.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing sounded loudly, and they followed Zhang Fei and rushed to the inner city.
However, before Zhang Fei could rush out, he suddenly heard the urgent sound of the clapper.
From the roofs on both sides of the long street, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared, aiming at the soldiers and horses of Zhang Fei's troops, and arrows were like rain.
Zhang Fei roared repeatedly, danced the snake spear, and called the eagle feather.
"You guys, rush over and you will win."
It seemed to be to prove Zhang Fei's words, before his voice fell, he listened to the sound of killing coming from the direction of the royal city, and there was even a fire that shone in the sky.
Zhuge Liang stood with his hands behind his back and stood on the Baimen Tower.
He smiled slightly, "The old thief has taken the bait!"
When the fire broke out on Baimen Tower, three thousand servants had already been mobilized. Chen Gui, who was ambushing outside the royal city, also ordered an attack.
"Those who climb the royal city first will receive a hundred gold."
He was wearing a soft armor, holding a sword in his hand, stood on the chariot, shouting loudly.
The impatient servants who had been waiting long ago shouted in unison and rushed towards the royal city like a tide.
Just as they rushed to the front of the royal city, a fire suddenly lit up around them.
The gate of the royal city opened with a clatter, and a group of soldiers in bright armor rushed out of the city and quickly formed a formation.
The number of these soldiers was not large, only a few hundred.
However, facing the rebels who were several times more than themselves, they were not panicked at all.
The spearmen are on both sides, and the sword and shield soldiers are in the middle.
"Stamping, trapping, trapping..."
They lined up in front of the royal city, silent.
When the rebels were less than a hundred steps away from them, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Crash!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison.
They used the steel knife in their hands to hit the shield, and in conjunction with their shouts, they were full of murderous intent.
Every time you shout, take a step forward in the battle formation.
Every step further, the murderous aura will increase by one point...
Chen Gui looked at it from behind and was shocked when this army appeared.
"Stealing camp!"
What's going on... Didn't the camp leave the city? Why did it appear in the city?
Two generals walked out of the city, one stood on a military chariot and the other rode a red rabbit horse.
If you look closer, you can recognize that the red rabbit horse is Lu Lan's beloved little red rabbit. However, the general immediately was not Lu Lan. He was a strong man over eight feet tall, with a waist of ten feet large and circumference, and was wearing iron armor, a black collar on his head, and a nine-foot gold-backed sword in his palm. The blade was about seven inches wide, and a gold edge was inlaid on the back of the knife, and nine iron rings were hung on it.
The big sword danced, making a bright and ridge-shaped sound, disturbing people's minds.
This knife was specially made by Liu Chuang when he was in Beihai Kingdom and weighed 82 kilograms.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not appear at this period. However, this did not affect Liu Chuang's evil taste. He asked Fei Wo to create this big sword with the method of 72 refining, which was called the golden-backed ring, and gave the knife to Xu Chu.
Xu Chu is also a powerful general with amazing power, and this sword is just right for him.
Since this weapon called the Golden Back Dragon Ring Knife was built, Xu Chulai has no chance to let it see blood.
Today is exactly the day when the dragon ring knife is opened, so Liu Chuang went to Lu Lan to borrow the little red rabbit and handed it to Xu Chu to ride.
"Not good, I've been trapped!"
Chen Gui is so cunning. When he sees the emergence of the camp, how can he not understand what happened?
He screamed, trying to take back his troops.
But rushing out is easy, but recalling is not easy.
The rebels rushed over like a tide and crashed into the army formation in the camp.
The trapped camp was like a mountain, firmly blocking the impact of the rebels without moving at all.
