The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

Chapter 185 The Fire Burns the City

() Before leaving Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had already accepted Ma Yue's proposal to prepare the next "big gift" for the guests who came from afar in Luoyang City.After all, this matter is extremely dangerous, and it is obviously impossible for ordinary generals and soldiers to complete it smoothly, so in the end, Lu Bu, the person with the best personal martial arts skills, will carry out the execution. There are still hundreds of Xiliang soldiers left behind with him An elite fighter who specializes in close combat and riding skills.

Of course, they didn't show up when the Kwantung Allied Forces entered Luoyang City, they just pretended to be ordinary people and stayed in an inconspicuous house.Because the people of Luoyang didn't have a good impression of the Kwantung Allied Forces, no one went to report their existence, which allowed them to hide until dark, and then came out while it was dark.

Under the cover of Ye Se, this group of people moved very smoothly, and after a while, they arrived at the area where the nobles of Luoyang City lived, and this place has now been occupied by those local troops.Although there are troops from the Kwantung Allied Forces nearby, it is precisely because of this that the guards here are very lax, and these people are very careful in their actions, so even though they have come close, those troops still have not noticed their existence.

Looking at the surrounding situation, Lu Bu couldn't help sighing in his heart: "This Ma Zhongling is really amazing. He has already grasped the psychology and behavior of these people. He is sure that the Kwantung Allied Forces will occupy these houses after they enter the city." In the midst of this, arrangements will be made early. Moreover, these people are also as lax as he said, which is of great help to us."

A few days ago, when Ma Yue proposed his own strategy, everyone was still very surprised, thinking that this plan was too whimsical.After all, when the Xiliang Army withdrew, Luoyang City would be occupied by the Kwantung Allied Forces, and under the watchful eyes of an army of [-], who would have the confidence to make such a major event?

But Ma Yue gave his own reasons at the time: "Once the Kwantung Allied Forces enter Luoyang, they will inevitably relax. In their view, since we have withdrawn our troops from Luoyang and swept away all the wealth in the city, It must be to give up Luoyang City. They would never have thought that we were hiding behind us, so the defense and guards would not be tight enough to give them a chance to teach them a lesson.

"And this time we are not attacking them forcibly, but only need to ignite a fire, which is much easier. Once the fire starts, it will be difficult for them to protect themselves, let alone intercept our people So I think this plan has an [-]% chance of being successful, and if it succeeds, it will definitely hit their morale and make the Kwantung Allied Forces not dare to advance westward in a short time!"

After what Ma Yue said, Dong Zhuo immediately agreed to the proposal, and then summoned Lu Bu who was still leading people to dig treasures in the imperial tomb, and asked him to choose elite men to hide in the city and wait for the Kwantung Allied Forces After entering the city, follow the plan.

Although Lu Bu fully agreed to this, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.After all, among the [-] enemy troops, and trapped in a city, once the enemy finds out, it will be too difficult to get out of the body.But now, after seeing the loose guards around the mansions where important people lived, he felt a little more confident, and felt that Ma Yue's design was feasible.

After dodging a group of night patrol soldiers walking slowly towards him, Lu Bu stopped, then turned his head and let several confidantes come to him, and said in a low voice: "We will split up and act. Li Jia, You take a group of people to the houses on the west side, Wang Wu, you go to the east, and Chen San on the southwest corner... Everyone must be careful, and when you arrive at the ground, wait until the end of the third watch, and then set fire together. Remember After setting the fire, you should quickly hide in a safe place, and only show up after they get into a mess, and then gather at the east gate and try to get out of the city together. Go!"

"Here!" Several confidantes responded in a low voice, and immediately dispersed and disappeared into the night.And Lu Bu also led a group of people towards the Yuan family's mansion in the middle.Before Ma Yue had judged that this place should be where Yuan Shao would stay after entering the city, now Lu Bu can naturally be sure that this judgment is correct.

More than a dozen people leaned against the shadow of the wall and moved forward silently. Suddenly, another team holding torches appeared in front of them. Look at the direction of this team, it came from the Yuan family's mansion.Obviously, they were guards who were ordered to patrol the surrounding area.Lu Bu and the others hurriedly clung to the shadow of the high wall, in order to prevent their existence from being noticed by this group of people.They didn't want to alarm anyone, otherwise they were afraid that today's harassment would turn into a strong attack, and they wouldn't be sure.

Fortunately, this team was just like the night watchmen they met before, they just responded to the situation, did not investigate very carefully, and did not deliberately use torches to illuminate the situation in the dark place on the side. Waiting for someone to walk past.

Lu Bu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and he was waiting for them to turn around the street corner before continuing forward.I don't want to, but at this time, another person in the team said to his leader: "Captain, my stomach suddenly hurts. Oh, I can't help it, I have to go to make things easier..." He said without waiting for the captain to answer. He turned around and hurried towards the corner of the wall here.It was obvious that he really had unbearable abdominal pain, and he didn't care about where this place was, so he had to solve it on the spot.But what surprised Lu Bu and others was that there was a man in black hiding in the shadow where this person went straight to the past!

"Not good!" Lu Bu was startled, and his hand was already on the hilt of the long sword at his waist. Once that person finds out that there is a man in black in the dark, he will definitely scream in surprise, and then he will Startled many people.

Just when Lu Bu was very nervous and didn't know how to deal with it, there was only a "plop!" from the corner over there, and when he looked carefully, he found that the guy who walked over with his trousers had fallen into a pool of blood.It was the person hiding over there who found out that the situation was not good and made the first move, killing him with a knife.

Those who stayed with Lu Bu were all outstanding figures in the Xiliang Army, and many of them were former horse thieves, so they were very familiar with this kind of assassination.Fortunately, this person was able to react in time and kill the possible threat at the beginning.

However, Lu Bu's happiness could not last long, and he soon thought of a problem. The killing of this person will inevitably make other people in the same team have doubts.Once they turn around and look for them, I'm afraid things will not be any better than when he found them just now.

With a wry smile, Lu Bu waved his hand and led the crowd to chase after him.Now the only way to ensure that the whereabouts of himself and others will not be exposed for the time being is to kill this group of night watchmen.Fortunately, they only need to delay for a while, and they can get out after the fire is released. Otherwise, they may not be able to hide it for long after they do this.

Those subordinates also understood Lu Bu's intentions, so they followed him back and chased after him.The team of night watchmen didn't move very fast, and they were all lighting torches, and their targets were very eye-catching, so they quickly caught up and leaned over from the side.

"Liu Laoliu's actions are really slow, and it will take a long time to have diarrhea. If the village head and the others find out about this, they might have to teach him a lesson again." The captain said to his companions with some dissatisfaction.

"He has always liked to steal and play tricks, and he has done such things not once or twice. So in terms of seniority, he is far better than us, but he is still an ordinary soldier?" Another person laughed.

Just as they were talking and laughing, several black shadows rushed up from the side, one against the other, covering their mouths with one hand, and stabbing swords and other murder weapons into their hearts or cutting their throats with the other. They kill quickly.

The night watch team never expected that such an assassin would suddenly appear in the defense of their own army.Moreover, they were ordinary in terms of skills, and in addition to being attacked suddenly, all of them were killed without even saying a word.

It wasn't until these people were all killed that no one else was disturbed, that Lu Bu showed satisfaction: "Quickly, change into their clothes, and then follow me to Yuan's mansion!" After killing these people, a more A bold plan has already been brewed in his mind, which will not only ensure the perfect implementation of the plan, but also bring greater convenience to their escape.

All the subordinates did not ask any more questions, and followed the order.After a while, a new team of night watchmen appeared on the street.They walked around swaggeringly for a while, then turned their heads and went back outside the Yuan's mansion.

Although there were still some Yuan Shaojun's night watchmen over there, they didn't care about the strangeness of the men and horses wearing the same attire at all, so they let them pass by and entered the courtyard.

Lu Bu glanced around, and found a few places that could start the fire that had been arranged before.Among them, there are two walls near the outside, as long as they are set on fire, they can leave quickly.So, he gave the people behind him a wink, and they slowly leaned over.

Originally, if you want to set fire, you have to start the fire first, but now it is much more convenient.Everyone in their group held a torch, which became the most suitable thing to light the fire.When he came to a seemingly messy thing and saw that it was almost the end of the third watch, Lu Bu immediately gave the order: "Light it up!"

"Crack-boom!" With the sound of the ceramic jar shattering, the torch had slammed onto it.Immediately, flames suddenly rose from the ground.And the fire burned extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, several houses around it were quickly ignited. At this time, the other soldiers were still looking at Lu Bu and the others with surprised and blank expressions.

Immediately, they realized that something was wrong, because those people quickly ran towards the wall, and then jumped out very quickly.

At the same time, the other mansions on all sides also burst into flames, and the fire spread quickly, quickly making the fires in these houses one piece!
