The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 265 Fire Dragon Spreads
Yang Wanchun led [-] daredevils to attack the Sui Equipment Battalion at night, accounting for about one-sixth of the city of Zhuhan.

1 people seems to be quite a lot, but this time Fang Xuanling mobilized three times as many soldiers as the enemy to surround the equipment battalion in order to leave no one left. With a strong crossbow, the enemy clearly and secretly shot and killed all the enemy troops who were trying to escape.

What especially made the Goguryeo army fearful and desperate was that when the oil tanks of the Sui army fell on the perimeter of the camp, the fire broke out immediately, and the Sui army was obviously full of firewood and oil all around.

Looking down from the sky, the entire equipment battalion seemed to be surrounded by a round brazier. Faced with this sudden situation, Goguryeo soldiers felt a deep fear in their hearts. They wanted to rush out, but they were hunted down by arrows.

Arrows flew across, horses neighed, howled again and again, and flames shot up into the sky.

Yang Wanchun, who was protected in the middle, looked at the surrounding walls of fire, the oncoming heat waves, and the arrows piercing through from time to time, with deep despair flashing in his eyes.The Sui army wanted to wipe them all out. His [-] troops were hiding, so there were not many cavalry. At this time, they were more like turtles in a urn. They had no choice but to wait for death.

"General, what should we do now?"

Seeing this scene, the generals were all in despair.At this time, the Sui Equipment Battalion was like a cage, preventing them from moving.

Yang Wanchun's eyes were fixed, and he shouted: "Even if I die in ashes, I must show the bravery of my Goguryeo people, and I will kill a bloody road."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Before the words were finished, more than a dozen oil cans fell beside them, and the kerosene splashed on them immediately turned into the best fuel, and the flame instantly burned them up.

Yang Wanchun and his party under the firelight were obviously very abrupt, and they naturally became the best targets for the Sui army.

Yang Wanchun smiled miserably, put the saber across his neck, wiped it lightly, blood spattered everywhere, and fell to the ground. The coward was defeated by Yang Tong, and died in Fang Xuanling's poisonous plot less than half a month later, a tragic and cowardly death.

Fang Xuanling on the hill looked at the team of torches coming from the direction of Danfeng City, and said coldly: "Let Deng Hao lead the [-] Goguryeo Army back home in triumph." city."

"Here!"

……

"Good job!"

At the head of the west city of Zhuhan City, Yuan Taizuo yelled and punched the battlements with a fist, blood flowed from his hands immediately, but at this moment he didn't feel the slightest pain, only endless pleasure.

"The Sui army's siege equipment is gone." Ulji Wende also said excitedly.

"Look!" Yuan Gai Suwen pointed to the fire dragon in the distance.

Yuan Tae-joo and Ulji Moon-deok stared into the distance, and saw a fire dragon rushing towards the equipment camp from the west, and another fire dragon rushed straight from the equipment camp to the west gate of Zhuhan City.

Yuan Gai Suwen frowned and said, "Didn't you mean to quietly withdraw to the East City?"

Ulji Moondeok said with a smile: "General Yang's mission has been completed, there is no need to cover up, and he went straight to the nearest city gate, not only reducing the physical consumption of the soldiers, but also entering the city quickly to avoid the pursuit of the Sui army. He lit the torch to tell us: As long as the fire dragon that comes out of the equipment camp does not keep chaotic, it is one of our own, otherwise, don’t open the door.”

Yeon Gai Su Wen was speechless, always feeling a bit unexpected. With Yang Wanchun as a man, he should not change the established strategy without authorization, but Ulji Moon Deok's explanation made it impossible for him to refute, because adapting to changes is the basic quality of a general , and Yang Wanchun is obviously such a person.So he suppressed the doubts in his heart, and, like everyone else, watched the fire dragon running wildly.

As time passed, the fire dragon belonging to the Sui army suddenly stopped. The front continued to kill the equipment battalion, and the rear was chasing towards the "Gaoguryeo" army. However, the Sui army moved very fast, but they reacted quickly. It was a bit late, and it had already opened a long distance, no matter how fast it was, it could not catch up.

But the people in the city didn't know that when they were staring at the distance, an army quickly swam across the moat when they were "dark under the lights", and stuck tightly to the city walls on both sides of the suspension bridge.

"Pull the suspension bridge and open the city gate." Yuan Taizuo, who was relieved for the friendly army, saw that the distance was almost the same, and shouted quickly.

"Yes!"

When the suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate slowly opened, Yu Chigong who was descending from the city breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted: "All soldiers, follow me to kill."

"kill!"

Immediately, thousands of troops rushed towards the unprepared defenders of Zhuhan City Gate. With just one sprint, they had already crossed the city gate hole and started killing wantonly.

When Yuchi Gong was in action, several big men quickly emerged from the water on the other side of the moat, and several strong men smashed the chains of the suspension bridge with heavy hammers in their hands!
"Bang bang bang bang!"

The planks were broken around the chains.

"No, I've been fooled!" In the city, Yuan Taizuo was taken aback, and ordered: "Put down the suspension bridge."

In fact, without his order, the Goguryeo soldiers had already turned the capstan, but what they got back were only two empty iron chains.

When Eulji Wende was stunned, a mouthful of blood spewed out, and at this moment, the extremely violent shouts of killing suddenly sounded. After looking down, countless Sui troops were surrounded from all directions.Immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Om~"

A rain of arrows fell, and a large number of slave soldiers were killed by the rain of arrows.

"Strong crossbow, suppress!" Zuo Tiancheng, who arrived in time from the back of the city, immediately ordered, the strong crossbow pointed obliquely at the top of the city, and began to rain arrows towards the dark top of the city, so that the defenders at the top of the city could not kill the slaves recklessly .

In an instant, the city fell into chaos, and the slave soldiers rushed into Zhuhan City screaming and braving the sparse arrow rain.

"Damn it!" Yuan Taizuo punched the city bricks heavily, and said through gritted teeth, "Yang Wanchun, you actually betrayed me, Goguryeo."

Yuan Gai Suwen said sadly: "My lord father, elder brother, uncle did not betray Goguryeo, but the whole army was wiped out."

"What?" Yuan Tae-jo and Eulji Moon-deok were taken aback. They looked at Yuan Gai-Su-moon in disbelief, and Yuan Tae-jo even said loudly: "1 people, in such a short period of time, not one of them died. left?"

"Father, don't you think the fire in the equipment camp is too big?" Yuan Gai Suwen finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, but it was too late, and sighed with a wry smile: "There is a big fire inside, and there is a fire outside." With strong bows and crossbows, it is still very easy for the Sui army to wipe out [-] enemies trapped in the camp. But all of us looked far away, not paying attention to our feet at all. In the words of the Han people, this is 'It's dark under the lights'."

"Fire? Strong bow and crossbow? 'Black under the lamp'?"

Looking up at the Dasui Equipment Battalion that was still burning in the distance, Yeon Tae-jo and Eulji Moon-deok suddenly came to their senses.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~"

With the sound of desolate horns, the Sui army and slave soldiers entered the city, climbed up the city ladder, and charged up towards the top of the city.

Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin held big swords, and each led a slave soldier, and killed them from the ladders on both sides to the top of the city. They kept beheading the Goguryeo soldiers around them, and their faces were splashed with blood.

After killing for a while, a sharp spear suddenly stabbed at Yuchi Gong from the left. Yu Chi Gong snatched it with his left hand, chopped off the opponent's head with his right hand, and continued to move forward without stopping.

"Goguryeo bastards, if I, Yuchi Gong, don't kill all of you this time, your names will be read backwards..." Yu Chi Gong laughed proudly, but there was nothing in the big knife and a pair of feet in his hand. Hesitantly, the cold light of the knife flashed, and he led the slave soldiers to rush towards the Goguryeo army formation.

On the other side, after Cheng Yaojin cut off a head again, he shouted loudly: "Yuchi, these are the eight people my old Cheng killed."

Cheng Yaojin was originally the leader of Wagang, but finally fell into the hands of Wang Shichong. He was sent to the Sui Dynasty together with Huang Junhan and Xie Yingdeng. After a few months, he became acquainted with the generals of the Sui Army. Yu Chigong hit it off with him very much, and liked his boldness and filial piety, but he hated his broken mouth.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words at this time, Yu Chixue chopped off the heads of two Goguryeo soldiers, and said in a low voice: "75, no, 76!" While speaking, he killed another person.

After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin grinned, shouted again and started to kill.As ferocious as a devil, he roared, "You bastards, let Master Cheng die."

"You're not as good as mine!" Yu Chigong laughed heartily, forging ahead with courage, and made a killing.

"Impossible!" Unconvinced, Cheng Yaojin hacked and killed again and again, only to see a Goguryeo soldier fell to the ground as he swept across with his sword.

The Sui army led by Zuo Tiancheng and Huang Junhan also followed the slave soldiers into the city. They did not climb to the top of the city, but marched into the city along the street, throwing torches to the houses on both sides of the road.

'when!when!when! '

The ear-piercing warning sound sounded in the silent night, and the city of Zhuhan was in complete chaos. The first house that was lit was blown up by the night wind. The wind boosted the fire, and the fire spread quickly. Suddenly, the flames rose into the air, and the huge tongue of flame was like the blood of a devil. With a big mouth, he ruthlessly devoured everything in the city, and only a moment later, the rapid fire burned the entire west city.

The frightened war horse neighed desperately, broke the reins and ran along the street, and the terrified soldiers ran out of the house, most of them did not wear armor, some even had bare feet, the skyrocketing fire in the city knocked everyone out of their wits, and the people trying to survive Instinct made them rush to the gate of the city regardless of everything, and the cries and shouts in the city were loud.

At this time, horns outside the city continued to sound.

"Woo-woo-woo" came one after another, and then there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes on the ground.

In addition to the west gate that had been taken, the Sui cavalry came from the south gate and the east gate respectively, and surrounded the three gates of Zhuhan City, like laying three big sacks, and the Goguryeo soldiers who escaped from the city were hunted down one by one. Kill, they have nowhere to go except the north gate.

"Wai San Que Yi!" After receiving the reports from various cities, Yuan Taejo looked at Eulji Moondeok with a wry smile, "We know that it will be very difficult for this 'Yi' who surrounds San Que Yi to go, but we have to Not leaving."

Looking at Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin who looked like evil gods, Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes flashed with a strong fighting intent, and his hand holding the knife was tightened again and again, but in the end he sighed and said calmly: "Father, big brother , Zhu Hancheng can’t hold it anymore. Let’s go! If we don’t go, we won’t be able to go.”

Yuan Taezuo pulled Ulji Wende, and a group of people, under the protection of the elite personal guards, opened a bloody path towards the north gate.
