The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 282 Decisive Battle against Xianbei VI

To the south of Danhan Mountain, a long fire dragon is particularly conspicuous in the night, and its speed is amazing.

"Report!" A rider quickly came to a general, took a breath, and then reported: "My lord, General Huang has already started to move, and the Xianbei did not break through overnight!"

This person is none other than Huo Yu who led the army to withdraw to the south. At this moment, he is leading [-] flying feather cavalry and [-] white horses to gallop towards Danhan Mountain through the starry night.

"Explore again!" Huo Yu responded lightly.

"promise".

Looking at the scouts going away, Huo Yu felt complacent: "He Lian is going to kill himself, so I can't blame my lord."

On Danhan Mountain, He Lian and Cheng Lugui looked at the fire below the mountain with frowns. Although they decided not to break through, the fire in front of them was obviously coming towards the mountain.

"Report, Da Chanyu, it's on fire." A burst of hurried footsteps and a panic report woke the two of them up.

He Lian scolded angrily after hearing the words: "Idiot, how could Shan Yu not know the fire at the foot of the mountain!"

"No, Da Chanyu, no. It's not down the mountain, it's up the mountain!" The scout said in panic.

When Cheng Lugui heard the words, he hurriedly found the high ground and looked up the mountain, exclaiming, "Fire, the top of the mountain is on fire!"

"What? How did this happen? Could it be that it's a bad plan? Order the whole army to gather and withdraw from the royal court immediately!" He Lian immediately issued the general order after waking up.

However, it was already too late. If Huang Zhong had just started setting fire to the mountain, there might still be a chance. Judging from the current intensity of the fire, it would not be easy to rush out, and besides, the Youzhou army at the foot of the mountain was not just a decoration.

"Look, what is that?" Just as He Lian was gathering his personal guards, a burst of exclamation suddenly exploded in his ears.

Looking for the reputation, I saw countless bright spots rising from the foot of the mountain, slowly coming towards the royal court with the breeze.Many Xianbei people looked at the light that kept appearing in front of them in horror, and were at a loss for a while.In their minds, besides birds can fly, what else can fly?God?
At this time, the Xianbei soldiers who were awakened stood in the open space and yelled, a few soldiers ran and shouted, and some even knelt down to the approaching flames. The situation in the entire royal court seemed extremely chaotic.

As the flames floating in the air approached, Helian finally saw something floating in the air clearly, but Helian himself had never seen this thing before, anyway, this must be a new thing made by the Han army!
In order to control the fear of his soldiers, the archers selected by Helian tremblingly raised their bows and arrows and shot towards the nearest flame floating in the air.

"Boom!" Under the dense rain of arrows, it seemed that something was shot and fell down.

Where there was the first, there was the second, and at the beginning nothing happened.So all the Xianbei people took up their bows and arrows and started shooting randomly at the flames floating in the sky, and the bold Xianbei people ran excitedly towards the target they were shot.

Huang Zhong at the foot of the mountain stroked his beard watching the movements of the Xianbei people by the light of the fire. The performance of these Xianbei people was exactly as the Lord expected.

"How is the preparation of the catapult?" Huang Zhong asked suddenly.

"Father, General Huang, the Shenji Battalion has already been prepared!" Huang Xu on the side immediately replied.

In this battle, in order to test some new siege methods, Huo Yu brought all the Shenji Battalion led by Huang Xu, as well as the "Youzhou Lantern" that had just been developed not long ago.

Speaking of this Youzhou lantern, it is actually the Kongming lantern of the later generations, but it is made bigger, and there is a small clay pot below it, which is full of black oil.

After a breakthrough in papermaking technology, Huo Yu asked the Mohists to make a batch according to the drawings he provided, and the Xianbei people became the first batch of experimental products.

For now, the Xianbei people are lucky, at least all the fallen Youzhou lamps have been extinguished, but when He Lian frowned and listened to his subordinates' report, a burst of exclamation suddenly spread.

"Boom!" I saw a Xianbei soldier shoot a pottery pot hanging under a lamp in the dark, and the black oil splashed in the air, and it happened to be ignited by the flames of Youzhou lamps, and then appeared A scene of fire descending from heaven.

As the sky fire fell to the ground, the black oil that had been scattered on the ground was instantly ignited, and a raging fire broke out immediately.

"Then why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and put out the fire!" He Lian scolded angrily, by this time, the fool knew what the Youzhou Army wanted to do.

"Take orders!" Cheng Lugui nodded, and rushed to put out the fire with his hands.

At the foot of the mountain, seeing the scene of the heavenly fire descending, the whole Youzhou wolf cavalry burst into cheers. Although it was the first time they had seen this thing, it was the Xianbei people who suffered.

"It's time to add fire!" Huang Zhong looked at Huang Xu and ordered.

Looking at Huang Xu's vigorous pace, Huang Zhong finally showed a rare smile.

"General Huang has no sons!" Tai Shici said with a smile.

"Ziyi, it's all thanks to the lord!" Huang Zhong suddenly felt emotional, if it weren't for Huo Yu, Huang Xu's life would be hard to keep, not to mention that Huang Xu is now leading the most mysterious group in Youzhou. an army.

The fire broke out in the royal court, and He Lian didn't care about it now. After all, the royal court is so big, even if there are a few fires, they will be extinguished soon.What Helian is most worried about now is what kind of tricks the Han army at the foot of the mountain will play.

Turning around to look at Wang Tingzhong, I saw that the soldiers led by Cheng Lugui were trying their best to put out the fire, but obviously these fire igniters were difficult to extinguish.

On Danhan Mountain, Liao Hua also didn't take the fire in Wang Tingzhong seriously, because more igniters were under the control of the Tianyu Guards he led, and now he just waited for the actions of the Shenji Battalion at the foot of the mountain.

"Da Chanyu, the fire can't be extinguished." Cheng Lugui came to report out of breath.

"Oh?" He Lian was taken aback when he heard this!
Although the fire did not expand, it was extremely difficult to extinguish. "How could this be? What did the Han people use?"

When He Lian and Cheng Lugui were discussing how to put out the fire, they heard a huge whistling sound flying over their heads, and then landed with a "boom!" Became Pyro.

"Launch the whole battalion, shoot all the light!" Looking at Wang Tingnei's masterpiece, Huang Xu issued a general order to the ten catapults belonging to the Shenji Battalion.

"Da Shanyu?" With the huge fireballs flying up the mountain, Cheng Lugui was completely panicked.

"What is this?" He Lian didn't know how to explain the things that appeared one after another in front of him. Obviously, these things were beyond his cognition.

Fireballs flew into the royal court one after another, and the fire began to spread everywhere, but this incident did not end.The Heavenly Feather Guards on the top of the mountain began to ignite the fire starter that had already been buried, and a fire snake rushed down the top of the mountain!

"General Huang, look quickly?" Tai Shici, who was seeing him, pointed at the fire snake coming down from the top of the mountain and said loudly.

"Once the Tianyu Guard ignites the black oil that was buried under the royal court in advance, there may be no living things in the entire Danhan Mountain!" The generals of Youzhou were very clear about Huo Yu's plan to burn Danhan Mountain.

For this plan, Huo Yu has put his money where his mouth is, and used almost all the black oil accumulated in Liaodong these years. Danhan Mountain will soon become the grave of Xianbei people. I believe that after this battle, no one will dare to come here.

"General Huang, what if the Xianbei break out of the encirclement regardless of everything?" Tai Shici immediately asked after hearing the words.

"If the Xianbei broke through desperately earlier, maybe they could escape a little bit, but Helian will never break out in the dark after suffering a few losses!"

"Could it be that the two military advisers have already planned everything?" Tai Shici asked suspiciously.

"Ziyi, don't forget the lord's mind-attacking method. Our army set fires all over the mountain, and then used archers to guard the way down the mountain, not to mention the Liannu of Shenjiying!" Huang Zhong said slowly.

After a pause, Huang Zhong said again: "As long as we block the previous few breakouts and let the Xianbei people realize that going down the mountain is asking for their own death, Helian will not take any risks. He can only stay in the royal court and wait for the sky to brighten! It is precisely because of the walls and gates of the royal court that Helian lost the last chance to escape in hesitation. After the fire is completely uncontrollable, the entire city, together with the people in the city, will be reduced to ashes."

After listening to Huang Zhong's analysis, Tai Shici took a deep breath, this fire will reduce Xianbei's [-] troops to ashes, the lord is really too cruel, but when he thinks of the lord's attitude towards aliens, Tai Shici is relieved up!

Those who are not of my race will have a different heart. My lord, this method will not only eliminate future troubles forever, but also serve as a reminder to other Huns, Goguryeo, Sanhan, and even the Western Regions who have not yet completely surrendered.In the face of the Youzhou Army, either surrender or perish!
In the king's court of Danhan Mountain, Cheng Lugui ran to Helian again in a panic and said, "Da Shanyu, it's not good!"

"What happened again?" Helian asked displeased.

"The fire in the city is out of control, it can't be extinguished, it can't be extinguished, the Han army has already set up organs everywhere, and now the entire royal court is... already." Speaking of this, Cheng Lugui dared not continue.

"Water can't be poured out?" He Lian was completely dumbfounded.

Finally, at this time of crisis, Helian made a move that excited everyone. "Send the order, the whole army breaks through the encirclement and descends the mountain immediately!"

Following Helian's general order, the Xianbei people rushed towards the downhill road in front of Danhan Mountain like a tide.When Cheng Lu Gui was about to lead his troops to attack, he was stopped by He Lian, and even the leader did not participate.At this time, He Lian already had some calculations in his heart.

"Da Shanyu?" Cheng Lugui and Kui Tou asked in surprise.

"On the way down the mountain, I'm afraid the Han army has already set up an ambush, so you immediately gather your guards and escape from the small path with me!" He Lian sighed.

In this battle, he knew that his best chance to break through was ruined because of his unconsciousness, but what He Lian didn't know was that Liao Hua had been waiting for his arrival on another road.

"Kill!" As the gate of the Wangting city opened wide, the Xianbei people rushed out quickly. At this moment, the desire to survive was greater than anything else, but what awaited them were countless arrows shot from the night.

"Fire the arrows!" As Zhang Yun's voice came, the archers who had already ambushed began to shoot wantonly. In such a dense crowd, even with their eyes closed, they could hit the target.

After suffering heavy casualties, some Xianbei cavalry finally rushed through the rain of arrows. Excited, they yelled and saw the hope of life.

"Liannu shooting!" In the darkness, the voice of the Han army came again, followed by a rush of "whoosh".

In the night, He Lian, Cheng Lugui, and Kuitou led their personal guards and walked cautiously towards the path behind the mountain.

"Ah!" A scream came from the front, followed by a burst of fire arrows in the sky. In an instant, the fire raged. If it wasn't for Cheng Lugui's quick reaction, He Lian might have been burned to death in the fire.

"Hmph! He ran faster than a rabbit!" Liao Hua looked at Helian who was being protected by Cheng Lugui and fled in a hurry, then ignored him with a cold snort, and completely ignited the fire on the path.

After losing some soldiers and horses, Helian, Chenglugui, and Kuitou finally saved their lives. This time, Helian finally saw with his own eyes that the thing that started the fire was ignited from the ground. Dozens of his own guards Just like that, he was burned to death in front of his own eyes.

"Report! Da Shanyu, Qianshan was sealed off by the Han army, and he couldn't get out at all!" Just before the three of them returned to the king's tent, a scout came to report.

He Lian frowned, and said helplessly: "In that case, let's talk about it after dawn!"

This general order is also a helpless move, but the living space of Xianbei people is being compressed a little bit.The fire was completely out of control. In such a high temperature environment, He Lian led the remaining Xianbei people to move around constantly. The feeling of being roasted by the fire made it impossible for everyone to bear it.

At the foot of Danhan Mountain, the catapult directed by Huang Xu is still throwing fireballs towards places where there is no fire. The entire Danhan Mountain has now been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. Liao Hua has led the Tianyu Guards to move down the mountain from the small path, where Tai Shici has long been waiting It's been a long time.

"Yuan Jian, are there any casualties!" Tai Shici asked while looking at the Heavenly Feather Guards whose faces were blackened by the smoke.

Googooo!After pouring a few sips of clear water, Liao Hua said with a smile: "Don't worry, General Zhang, this task can't help Tianyuwei, it's just that it's uncomfortable to be roasted by the fire. If the lord didn't order me to go into battle lightly, I'm afraid the casualties It's inevitable!"

Hearing Liao Hua's words, Tai Shici was speechless. His lord had already considered all the details. It seemed that he still had a lot to learn.

"Yuan Jian, the lord is coming soon, I'm here to guard it!" Tai Shici said with a smile as he took the water bag that Liao Hua handed over.

After Tianyuwei replenished the water, Liao Hua didn't show any pretense, and left with Tianyuwei!Right now, Tianyuwei's task has been completed, and the rest will naturally be done by others!

"Fire, what a wonderful view!" Not far from Danhan Mountain, Huo Yu murmured looking at the blazing fire.

"Brother, is there anyone alive?" Zhao Yun asked suddenly.

"Maybe there is! Zilong, you must not be merciful on the battlefield!" After finishing speaking, Huo Yu continued to gallop towards Danhan Mountain!
