Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2359 Zhu Di is dead, Jianghuai ends

"God bless me Zhu Di!"

"Jin thieves, even if I die today, I will die together with you!" Zhu Di laughed unscrupulously.

Even under the strong wind, some soldiers were even blown away, but it still couldn't stop his rampant smile.

He had no intention of leaving alive and wanted to die together with the enemy.

This strong wind came at the right time. If there was this strong wind, the enemy would never be able to leave Shouchun City in time as expected. Under this strong wind and fire, even if they were dead, the enemy would also suffer heavy losses.

"Quick! Get the brothers out!"

In comparison, the Jin army is much more anxious now, and Gao Changgong is doing his best to command the soldiers' order.

However, facing this kind of fire, how could ordinary soldiers stay calm at this time? Everyone was just trying to escape, and the situation became chaotic. However, the more chaotic it was, the lower the efficiency of leaving.

"Brother Gao!"

"The fire is getting bigger and bigger! If it continues like this, we may not be able to get out!" Li Cunxiao pulled Gao Changgong and walked away.

In the face of this city-wide fire, no matter how powerful you are, as long as you are still a flesh and blood body, if you can't escape, you will still end up turning into ashes.

Therefore, Li Cunxiao could not care about so many things at this time.

With the soldiers' current state, it is impossible to organize them in a completely orderly manner. By the time they achieve that, the fire would probably burn them to death countless times.

Moreover, feeling the horrific high temperature and rising smoke, if they didn't leave, they would be choked to death by the smoke before they were burned to death.

At this time, they can only protect themselves first.

Soldiers one after another rushed towards the city gate filled with despair. However, under the intense heat brought by the fire, many people were not burned to death, but the moisture in their bodies evaporated quickly due to the high temperature. Many people fell down powerlessly even though they were only one step away from hope.

Some who ran slowly were swept away by the flames, or were caught off guard by the thick smoke that rose up, and once the smoke filled their noses, they could no longer move.

………………

"Grand Commander, General Gao has counted and found that nearly 30,000 soldiers have not escaped!"

Inside the camp, Wang Ben's face looked extremely heavy.

If it weren't for that strange strong wind, this battle would never have resulted in such tragic casualties.

After all the battles, although we won, we still lost.

"At least, that kid Zhu Di should have turned into ashes by now!" Wang Jian comforted himself with a wry smile.

By dealing with Zhu Di, at least we can give an explanation to the Jianghuai war situation.

The core figures of the entire Yangzhou are nothing more than Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Di. If these three can be dealt with, the rest of the Zhu family will not be a concern. Even if there are heavy casualties in this battle, at least there will be an explanation from His Majesty.

"Not only Zhu Di, but Wen Zhong and Yao Xing are also probably turned into ashes by now!" Wang Ben also said with a wry smile.

It is impossible for anyone to survive such a fire.

The fire has been burning for a day and a night, but there is still no sign of it ending.

Judging from the situation, it might take another two or three days for the fire to be completely extinguished.

And a fire this big cannot be put out by human power!
Therefore, Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben, who failed to evacuate Shouzhe City in time, have now been tacitly acknowledged to be no longer alive.

Wen Zhong was an official of Xuzhou and a capable assistant of Zhao Kuangyin, the former overlord of the Central Plains. He was once entrusted by Zhao Kuangyin with the important task of governor of Yuzhou.

The key point is that this is a stubborn element who is very hostile to their Jin army.

Yao Xing was also a famous general in the Central Plains. When Zhao Kuangyin destroyed Cao Cao in the Central Plains War, he fought with Cao Kerang, a general in the Central Plains, and won with honor despite his defeat. He also fought with the Big Mac, and after the two fought for 200 rounds, the Big Mac won with a one-stroke advantage.

The deaths of Zhu Di, Wen Zhong and Yao Xing meant that the Jin army had fewer major concerns.

In fact, it was not just Zhu Di, Wen Zhong and Yao Xing who were burned to death in Shouchun City.

More than a dozen famous figures including Lou Huan, a famous scholar from the Central Plains, Zou Ji, Zhao He and Zhao Yan who were from the same clan as Zhao Kuangyin, You Hong, a general from Xuzhou, Sima Guang, a famous scholar from the Central Plains, Zhang Chengye, a strategist from the Central Plains, and generals Suo Pan, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Kecun, and Zhong Shizhong were all burned to death in the fire.

Each of these people was the elite of Zhao Kuangyin's forces. More than half of them were peerless figures, and they were also famous figures in the Central Plains before.

The most crucial thing is that these people, like Wen Zhong, are diehards who are firmly hostile to the Jin army for various reasons.

In addition to these people, there were also Zhu Yuanzhang's Yangzhou faction, clan figures born in the Zhu clan such as Zhu Cilang, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cizhao, Fei Ju and Chen De who were among the Twenty-Four Generals of Huaixi, Yangzhou celebrities Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Gu Dazhang, Yangzhou general Lu Kang, and Qu Fulu, generals from the Jiaozhou faction who followed Zhu Di to the Jianghuai battlefield. In total, nearly twenty people, big and small, also died in this fire.

Compared with those in the Central Plains faction, the Yangzhou faction is actually inferior in overall quality, and is basically composed of top-notch talents.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang at this time needed talents on every battlefield. Since the war began, a large number of famous generals had died, leaving him stretched thin on all battlefields, and it was impossible for him to allocate much manpower to Zhu Di.

If it weren't for the help of Xie Ai and others from Runan, if Zhu Di had relied on his own strength, the Jianghuai battlefield would probably have ended completely a few months ago.

However, even after the fire was over, it would be impossible to identify the bodies of these people.

Following this fire, the Xuzhou group of people who had followed Xie Ai to Jianghuai to deal with Zhao Shen were sent out of Nanjing by Zhu Di as soon as they arrived in Jianghuai. The rest, whether they were advisers or generals, basically stayed on the Jianghuai battlefield.

It can be said that of Zhao Kuangyin's forces, only Tian Dan's faction is still struggling to hold on.

With the end of the Jianghuai battlefield, it also marked that Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Guo Ziyi, and Wu Qi had completely completed the strategic encirclement of Yangzhou and Jingnan.

This war in the south has come to an end, and there will basically be no more changes.
