The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Not only did the fire start suddenly, but the momentum was also extremely fast. When the Kwantung Allied Forces were still surprised, everything that could be burned was burned, and the red light immediately reflected the entire dark sky. .

In this era, buildings are generally made of various types of wood, so once a fire breaks out, the damage to the building will be devastating.However, if it was just Lu Bu and the others who set fire to each other, the fire would not be so fierce. The root cause of the fire was that it had been manipulated before the Xiliang army.

After Ma Yue's strategy was adopted and approved by Dong Zhuo, they mobilized thousands of people to make full preparations for today's moment.Ma Yue expected that when the generals of the Kwantung Army entered Luoyang, they would definitely live in these huge mansions that had no owner, so he arranged for easy-to-burn hay or wood in various important positions of these mansions, and even set them up. Sprinkle kerosene and spirits that are flammable in case of fire.

Not to mention, in order to prevent them from moving all these things away after they moved in, Ma Yue also asked people to dig a series of hidden ditches between the rooms of these houses, and hid altars of fire in them. Oil and spirits.These oils and wines were all stored in Luoyang government treasury, for the purpose of supplying the government or defending the city, but now they were all proposed by Ma Yue to deal with the Kwantung coalition forces.

The light and dark sides are full of flammable things such as kerosene, spirits, hay, etc., so as long as a little fire is caught, these mansions will immediately become special torches and burn completely.Moreover, because these houses are actually relatively close to each other, when they catch fire, they are easily connected together, which makes the fire more fierce.

The soldiers and horses of the coalition army heard screams in their drunken dreams, but when they got up in a hurry, they found themselves trapped in a sea of ​​flames, with no way out in all directions, and they were all dumbfounded.Many people were trapped by the fire in this way, and then were devoured by the fire so that not even the bones remained.However, the clever and agile man rushed out desperately, hoping to escape from the fire scene.But the result was not optimistic, because they didn't know how big the fire was and how wide the burning area was.

There are soldiers who want to save people and want to use buckets and other water-filled objects to go to the well to fetch water to put out the fire. A bowl is not enough to quench your thirst.But as time passed, the fire became more and more fierce. Many people had no choice but to save themselves first, and rushed out of the fire.

However, because the momentum of this fire was too ferocious, and the burning area was extremely wide, almost including the entire wealthy residential area in the west of Luoyang, so although many people rushed out of the fire scene where they were, Still quickly fell into a new fire scene, and finally fell on the fire scene because of the fireworks.

For a time, there were screams everywhere in the whole area, combined with the strange crackling noise when the building was burned, and the sound of strong wind caused by the fire, all of a sudden, a frightening and weird scene was intertwined. scene.

Of course, not everyone will be buried in this fire. Some people in fairly good positions, coupled with luck and ability, were able to escape.But when they left the scene of the fire and looked back, they were also terrified and stood blankly outside the scene of the fire, unable to say or do anything for a while.

But Yuan Shao and others were protected by the most skilled personal guards, so even though they drank a lot and lost their minds, they were able to escape from the flames.This is not only because of their strong guards, but also because Ma Yue didn't let anyone hide kerosene or spirits under the room where they might stay, because Ma Yue was worried that their people would kill them to ensure their safety. Pay special attention to the house where they stayed. If they see through their tricks because of this, the idea of ​​using fire to teach them a lesson will fail completely.

It is precisely because of such concerns that the important figures in these coalition forces were able to save their lives and escape from the sea of ​​fire under the protection of the guards.But they also looked extremely embarrassed, all of them were disheveled, their faces were covered with ashes, and even a few of them were burned by the fire.

But at this time, they obviously had no time to worry about these things. Seeing that the dozens of mansions in front of them were completely engulfed by the fire, and seeing many of their own troops still trapped in the fire, the screams of some people before they died kept spreading. Coming out made them feel even more unspeakable fear and anger.

"What... what's going on here? Why did it cause such a big fire?" After a long time, Yuan Shao recovered from his panic, grabbed the general beside him and asked loudly.

"This... the last general doesn't know, the fire came too suddenly, and after we got together, it started everywhere, and then it became such an unstoppable situation." The general also said very confused.

Everyone else was also surprised. It would be understandable if there was a fire. After all, everyone was too relaxed today. It is not impossible for someone to accidentally light something flammable.But as it is now, all the big houses can be included, and a fire that is out of control cannot be explained by a single accident.

"I'm afraid this was done deliberately by someone. I think this should be the secret trick of Dong Zhuo's people who stayed in Luoyang City." At this time, Cao Cao quietly expressed his thoughts beside him.Although he also looked a little embarrassed, he was obviously much calmer than the others, with his eyes sweeping around, looking thoughtful.

"What did you say? Was this fire set by Xiliang people?" Everyone else suddenly changed color after hearing this: "How is this possible? How could they have such a great ability to start such a big fire?"

"If my predictions are correct, they have already made preparations. Only after we enter the city and enter these houses, let the people lurking in Luoyang city light the fire, which will make our place completely burnt down. It looks like..." When Cao Cao said this, he felt admiration in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel admiration for this person who could think of burning Luoyang to weaken his own strength.What a clever calculation and how much courage is required to make this happen.

This is Luoyang, but it is the center of the world. Anyone else would have to consider the consequences of setting fire to Luoyang City.But the person who designed this fire attack still did not hesitate to let people set the fire on fire, and almost burned all the main generals of more than a dozen coalition forces to death in it.

The flames shone on everyone's faces, making their faces distorted and deformed by the heat, but they didn't know if this was due to anger.They were obviously very convinced by Cao Cao's deduction, otherwise it would not be enough to explain why the fire was so large this time, and why the fire came so suddenly.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid that the person who set the fire is still in Luoyang City..." A trace of hatred flashed in Sun Jian's eyes.Many people under his command were also buried in the sea of ​​fire this time, and now he can vaguely hear a few faint cries, which were the last voices of those who were still suffering in the sea of ​​fire before they died.This made Sun Jian's heart ache even more, and he immediately shouted: "We must not let them escape!" After saying that, he ignored the others, ordered his close ones, and led his subordinates to rush towards the west gate.

Yuan Shao and the others were startled for a moment, but soon they understood, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and order people to guard the four gates, and no matter who wants to leave the city, they will be killed!" Naturally, the blow to them was extremely serious, and these people certainly refused to let it go.

"Here!" Those soldiers who were still able to move hurriedly agreed, and rushed to give orders.

But at this time, at the east gate, Lu Bu and others had already climbed to the top of the wall.When everyone's eyes were on the place where the fire started, they had already reached here and were about to leave the city.Looking back at where the fire started over there, Lu Bu was not without surprise: "I didn't expect the fire to be so ferocious, and it burned all the buildings within a radius of several miles in just over half an hour. And seeing the reaction of the Kwantung Army, they immediately Even at this time, we are still a little flustered. If our troops can suddenly come from somewhere at this time, and take advantage of this fire to counterattack, I am afraid that Luoyang City will become the burial place of the [-] Kwantung Allied Forces gone."

Thinking of this, Lu Bu's heart moved again: "With Ma Zhongling's ability, has he never thought of this? Did he really not think of this, or did he deliberately not mention to Dong Zhuo that there is still a way to counterattack? If the latter, he is What kind of purpose did you have to conceal this matter?" Lu Bu knew Ma Yue better, and felt that this young man was more and more incomprehensible.

These people who followed Lu Bu from the west were also attracted by the chaos behind them, but soon, Lu Bu gave an order: "Don't delay any longer, I'm afraid those people will kill them soon. It's serious for us to leave this place quickly!" As he said, he fastened the rope to the top of the city, and then went down to the city.Others also act according to the law...

It was about a few minutes later that the Kwantung coalition soldiers who rushed over discovered the rope here, and only then did they know that they were leaving from the east of the city.But at this time, the darkness before dawn had completely covered their whereabouts, and no one knew which direction Lu Bu and his party would go.

At the same time, the fire in the city burned even more vigorously, and the soaring flames lit up the entire sky above Luoyang City, and even people dozens of miles away could clearly feel the fire that took place in Luoyang City. How fierce the fire is...
