The enemy was in chaos, and the enemy was in chaos.

Liang Chao led 20,000 Mozhou troops into the city, and Lin Chong led his volunteers to retreat quickly without fighting.

Liang Chao shouted loudly: "Kill, brothers! This is the time to make achievements. Capture the rebel leader Li Yichen alive!"

At this time, Liang Chao was extremely excited. Breaking through Anshan City and capturing Qin Army leader Li Yichen alive, what a great achievement! I'm afraid that this time when I return to Yuquan City, Leng Yuntao's position as the military governor can also be taken by myself.

The Mozhou Army was chasing the Yiyong Army with great momentum and came to a place less than a mile away from the South Gate in the city. This was a residential area. Countless crossbowmen appeared from the second floor of some residential buildings, holding crossbows to block the pursuit of the Mozhou Army.

Behind the Mozhou Army, thousands of Northern Wei infantrymen pushed carts full of hay and blocked the 20,000 Mozhou Army. With Gao Gang's order, the infantrymen threw torches on the carts, and a raging fire suddenly burned behind the Mozhou Army.

Countless flames formed a wall of fire several feet high, blocking the retreat of the 20,000 Mozhou Army.

Liang Chao had not noticed the movement behind him at this time, and was focused on chasing the Zhongyi Army with red eyes.

Suddenly, a trench about four or five feet wide and two feet deep appeared in front of Liang Chao. Lin Chong led the Loyal Army to carry out thick long wooden boards from the trench at a very fast speed, put them on the trench, and divided them into several teams to quickly cross the trench with the help of the wooden boards, and then quickly pulled out the wooden boards.

Liang Chao realized that something was wrong at this time. A lieutenant from the rear came over and said in a panic: "Commander, the Qin army has set fire to our rear and both sides, blocking the way!"

Liang Chao looked around and saw Li Yichen and his men looking at him with ill intentions on the opposite side of the trench, as if they were looking at a rabbit that fell into a wolf's den.

With Li Yichen's order, thousands of infantrymen drew their bows and shot arrows, but what they shot were rockets wrapped in cloth strips and burning with flames.

Liang Chao then discovered that the streets were wet with grease that had been poured here in advance, and there were dozens of haystacks made of hay and firewood on both sides of the road.

Liang Chao couldn't help but yelled, "You despicable and shameless bastard! How dare you fight me head-on with such a mean trick!"

No one answered him. Rockets were flying all over the sky. The grease splashed on the street caught fire and ignited the haystacks on the roadside. The flames that devoured people fiercely wrapped the Mozhou Army in it.

A strong wind blew, and the fire intensified with the wind. Countless Mozhou soldiers were burned in the fire and wailed in pain.

Some Mozhou cavalrymen riding horses were unwilling to rush towards the trench, trying to cross this life and death line.

But the trench, which was more than ten meters wide, was like a natural moat. It was undoubtedly a foolish dream to cross it by just sitting on the horse. Countless cavalrymen fell into the trench like dumplings. There were spike traps laid in advance in the trench, which pierced the fallen soldiers and horses with holes.

Liang Chao dodged the fire while shouting loudly to ask the soldiers not to panic.

But at this time, the soldiers under his command had already lost their souls and spirits, and no matter how he screamed, it was useless.

More and more people were burned to charcoal, and the wailing, cursing, and begging for mercy were endless, as if it was hell on earth.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, there were only a few soldiers left, and he was about to die in this raging fire.

Liang Chao shouted with red eyes and rode his horse towards the trench. As Li Yichen expected, the horse Liang Chao sat on fell rapidly when it was halfway through the leap. Liang Chao jumped deep and kicked hard on the horse's back. In the desperate situation, he burst out with extraordinary potential, and crossed the trench and landed on the edge.

After a messy forward roll to release the force, Liang Chao picked up the mace, his eyes wide open, and rushed towards Li Yichen.

Li Yichen shook his head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was a man of integrity.

"Master Lin, leave his body intact and kill him!"

Lin Chong blocked him with a spear in his hand, and the two fought.

Liang Chao could have fought Lin Chong to a draw, but he was exhausted and burned in many places. He was no match for Lin Chong. In less than five rounds, he was stabbed by Lin Chong. He opened his eyes unwillingly and fell to the ground and died.

Seeing that the Mozhou army had been completely wiped out and the fire was somewhat out of control, Li Yichen hurriedly organized people to put out the fire with a large amount of clean water prepared in advance.

Two hours later, the fire was extinguished, and the ground was full of corpses that were burned to charcoal and curled up.

Li Yichen sighed, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, and Jia Xu said: "Since ancient times, military strategists have fought with each other, and there have been countless casualties. It is normal for people to be mourned everywhere. If you are kind and do not control the army, you don't need to feel cruel."

Li Yichen nodded and remained silent as the system beeped.

[Congratulations to the host, you have received a reward of 3000 merit points. 】

[Congratulations to the host, for achieving a special achievement, Burning Camp, and awarding the top hero summoning authority x1]

In this battle, in addition to the sacrifice of more than a thousand volunteers defending the city, overall it was a hearty victory.

Jia Xu had arranged everything a long time ago, and just when the 20,000 Mozhou troops entered the situation, a fire burned everything.

The poisonous scholar Jia Xu was known for his poisonous tactics and was known for his use of tactics. He became the biggest arsonist in the Qin army.

The people in this area of ​​the city had already been moved away by the Qin army in advance, but many of their houses were burned down. In the future, they would have to help the people rebuild their houses.

I heard that the Qin army wanted to requisition this area, but the people didn't complain at all and were willing to let the Qin army do it. It can be seen how much prestige the Qin army has in the hearts of the people now. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the people have returned to their homes.

Outside Daqu City, inside the camp of Chen Qing's army, there had been no news from Liang Chao's army for several days, which made Chen Qing feel slightly uneasy.

But now that the main force of the Qin army has been contained here, what other force can resist the 20,000-strong army attacking Anshan City.

Leng Yuntao strode into the camp, raised his hands to Chen Qing and said, "Your Highness, it has been two days and there is still no news from Liang Chao's army. The Divine Eagle Guard has sent falcons several times to deliver the message, but without success."

Chen Qing was shocked. The falcons tamed by his subordinates, the Divine Eagle Guards, would definitely deliver the letters as long as there was a target to deliver the letters to.

Now that even the letter has not been successfully sent, there is only one possibility, that is, the target of sending the letter has disappeared. In other words, the current situation for Liang Chao and his 20,000 troops is probably in danger.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing hurriedly said: "Liang Chao's troops may have failed to attack the city and suffered heavy losses or even been wiped out."

"What? How could this happen? The main force of the Qin army is all here to confront our army. How could 20,000 soldiers and horses not be able to capture Anshan City!"

Chen Qing shook his head solemnly and said: "We have all underestimated the Qin army. They must have hidden troops secretly. For the current plan, we can only break out first, return to Yuquan City, and then make plans."

But at this time, would Li Yichen still give Chen Qing's army a chance to evacuate? The answer is obviously no.
