The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 215 Burning the Kingdom
Liangzhou, Hanyang County.

As a homing pigeon flew into Huang Zhong's camp, the silent Han army finally made some movement.

Huang Zhong: "Xu Rong, take your place."

Jia Xu: "Then we will act according to the plan."

Zhang Yang: "Do I need to inform the defenders in the city?"

Jia Xu: "Uncle Zhi knows who among them is loyal to the Han? Who is the rebel's internal agent?"

Jia Xu believes in Fu Xie, but will the people under Fu Xie reveal the plan?
not sure!
Huang Zhong: "It doesn't matter whether we tell or not. The reinforcements have arrived. Fu Nanrong is a man, but the people below are a mixed bag. We will fight as if there is no support force. When the war starts, it will be up to him whether Fu Nanrong can seize the opportunity." "

"Here!"

"General Huang, then I will wait for you as planned."

"Don't worry, Wen He. Our lord will hand over the western battlefield to a certain He Ziyi, and that certain person will do his best."

Jia Xu and Zhang Yang led their troops to set up Shehu Valley and ambush them.

On the same day, Huang Zhong led his men out of the stronghold to fight against the rebels. First, he beheaded an unknown person with one knife, and then chopped three times with three knives on the arrogant person.

Seeing Huang Zhong killing people like chickens, Wang Guo was shocked, "Huang Hansheng is well-deserved!"

"Huang Hansheng, let me get you!"

I saw a general shooting out, more than eight feet tall, with a majestic appearance.

"Who is this person?"

Wang Guo had seen it in the army, but couldn't remember it at the moment.

"This person is General Ma Teng!"

Seeing that Ma Teng and Huang Zhong were fighting equally, Guo Guo couldn't help but sigh: "We are really a tiger general!"

Huang Zhong fought with Ma Teng and thought to himself: "The people of Xiliang are brave and brave, and they live up to their reputation."

So Huang Zhong pretended to be defeated and made a feint, patted the horse and ran away.

Seeing this, the Kingdom ordered people to cover up and kill him. They relied on the mobility of the cavalry to block Huang Zhong's retreat before he could return to the camp.

Upon seeing this, Huang Zhong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then pretended to be panicked and retreated in the designated direction, "Quick! Retreat there!"

When Wang Guo saw Huang Zhong panicking and not choosing a road, he laughed and said: "Hahaha! Huang Hansheng is panicking and doesn't choose a road! Today is the time to defeat the Han army. Sons, follow me and charge!"

"Report! Report to General Hezhong, Huang Zhong and his men have fled into Shehu Valley!"

"Huh? Shehugu? Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

The scouts came to report that Huang Zhong fled to Shehu Valley. The kingdom and the leaders stopped and asked, "Why did you go to Shehu Valley?"

Shehu Valley is the burial ground of the Qiang people, where Duan Jun killed 2 people.

"To chase or not to chase?"

"This"

Some people hesitated, they didn't want to go in.

"Chase!"

The kingdom ordered a pursuit, "In the past, we, the Qiang people, were massacred here by Duan thieves! Today is the time for revenge! Use the blood of Huang Zhong and his Han people to pay homage to the dead souls!"

"Yes! Kill them!"

"That's right, don't miss this opportunity!"

"..."

Inspired by the kingdom, everyone reached a consensus and the whole army pursued them.

This is the most promising opportunity to kill Huang Zhong. If Huang Zhong is killed, Liangzhou will inevitably escape from the control of the imperial court, and he will become the overlord of one side. The kingdom does not want to give up.The rebels filed in, led by their leaders.

18 years ago, Han Duan Jiong led his people to massacre the Qiang people here.

18 years later, Shehu Valley will become the burial ground of Han Huang Zhong and his army.

Heaven has reincarnation!

At the same time, Jia Xu had already led his men to ambush here and prepared things to ignite the fire.

The trap has been set, the ambush has been completed, and they are just waiting for the enemy to come in.

"Here comes!"

"It's General Huang!"

"Silence! The enemy must be behind you! Get ready, everyone!"

Everyone was attentive, and after a while, dense footsteps were heard in the distance.

The backbone of the Luoyang Northern Army led by Huang Zhong were all his personal guards. The army's combat style was similar to that of the Bingzhou Army, but its overall combat level was not as good as that of the Bingzhou Army.

Facing the upcoming war, the new recruits were a little nervous, but the veterans were extremely excited.

Those who have experienced the Battle of Guluo City will never forget that spectacular scene. They looked at the recruits and said, "Believe me, not letting you eat meat today is the most correct choice in your life."

Looking at the kingdom's army coming in, there are 4 people in total, and there is a steady stream of people behind them.

"Military advisor, why don't you take action yet?"

Jia Xu looked at the army below with a tangled expression on his face. The rebels who came in were already at the limit of ambush, but there were still rebels outside the valley. What if the bag was not tightened tightly and the kingdom was let go?
After struggling for a while, Jia Xu gritted his teeth and insisted on stability, shouting in a low voice: "Do it!"

"Here."

Suddenly, a large number of Han troops appeared on the two slopes of Shehu Valley. Rockets were fired, and hay, kerosene, saltpeter, and other substances that could ignite and support combustion were all thrown into the valley.

Shehu Valley is on fire!
"what!"

The rebels closest to both sides suffered first. They were shot to death by arrows and thousands were killed by falling objects.

As the fire spread, many people panicked and the horses were frightened and out of control.

Guo Guo also knew that he had fallen into a trap, and he tried his best to rein in his horse. He looked at the situation around him and said in a panic, "Quick! Break out of the encirclement!"

Now, he doesn't even think about chasing Huang Zhong, he just wants to survive.

The fire blocked the rebels and split them in two. People outside the valley could not enter and those inside the valley could not get out.

"Quickly, notify General Han to lead his troops to rescue!"

"Here!"

Although there are 12 rebels, 4 are auxiliary troops, and only 5 can fight. This time, the kingdom brought a main force of [-] to chase Huang Zhong, and half of them fell. If they could not be rescued as soon as possible, , that’s it!
In the valley, the situation is getting more serious.

"General, there are only two ways to go about this. Either fight forward at all costs, or fight desperately to open the way back. There are still troops behind us that have not entered the valley."

Guo Guo chose the latter without even thinking about it. Now he has become a frightened bird. He has no intention of chasing Huang Zhong and only wants to run away.

"Everyone, follow me and retreat!"

Following the kingdom's order, everyone turned around and began to retreat.

However, the panicked kingdom suddenly made another fatal mistake: Shehu Valley runs diagonally from northwest to southeast, with Zhuyu Mountain to the south.Hanyang County has more northwest winds all year round, even in summer.

(Zhu Yu (yǔ), located in Gangu County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, "Shang Shu Yu Gong" is written in conjunction with Xiqing, Niaoshu, and Taihua. "Yu spread the water and soil, planted trees along the mountains, and built mountains and rivers." It has experienced "Western Qing, Zhu Yu, and birds and mice as far as Taihua." "Hanshu Geography" notes: ""Yu Gong" Zhu Yu Mountain is in the south of the county." "Shui Jing Annotation": "There are stone drums in Zhu Yu Mountain, not The attack will sound, and the sound will cause the army to rise." "Taiping Huanyu Ji": "Zhuyu Mountain is called Baigong Mountain." "Ming Yitong Zhi": "Zhuyu Mountain is thirty miles south of Fuqiang County." "Yu Gong Zuizhi": "Thirty miles south of present-day Fuqiang County, the mountains are red in color." It can be seen from this that there are records of Zhuyu Mountain in the past dynasties.)
If the kingdom wants to retreat, it must flee to the northwest, just in front of the thick smoke. The fire is strong, the smoke is thick, and the people are getting denser, the oxygen concentration in this area is basically insufficient for a while.

If you choose to pursue Huang Zhong, there is still a chance of survival. After all, you are downwind and you are running with thick smoke on your back.

But now, it's too late to say anything!

Many people were burned to death, but more often they were choked to death by the thick smoke or suffocated due to lack of oxygen.

Within a quarter of an hour, many people fell down and could never stand up again. (Little knowledge: The main cause of death caused by heavy smoke is carbon monoxide poisoning. In air with a carbon monoxide concentration of 1.3%, a person will lose consciousness after taking two or three breaths, and will die after 13 minutes of breathing.)
