Chapter 211 Two Smiles
There are no trees on the road in Mulinpo, but there are many weeds! It was originally the rainy season, and the vegetation should have been moist. It's a pity that there has been no rain for a long time in the severe drought in Guanzhong!
These dry grass not only did not stop the fire, but became the best combustion accelerant!
The fire continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became one piece!
The originally quiet Mulinpo will soon turn into a sea of flames!
"Stop! Stop setting fires! I am willing to surrender!"
Beigong Boyu couldn't bear the heat, so he hurriedly asked Liu Zhang to surrender, praying for his life.
"The rear general, the rear general, I am willing to surrender! This time I sincerely surrender, please spare my life!"
Li Wenhou knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing to Liu Zhang continuously, and now he is crying!
Liu Zhang kept laughing up to the sky and directly rejected their surrender.
"Hahaha, what use is it if I want you to wait for the traitors! You Qiang people have no faith, today is your death day!"
"Liu Zhang! Are you going to burn these tens of thousands of people alive! Aren't you afraid of retribution!"
Beigong Boyu still didn't give up, and kept trying to get Liu Zhang to forgive him.
"Hehe, retribution? Even if there is retribution, you, Beigong Boyu, won't be able to see it!"
"But I am your retribution! Since you are my enemy, you must have the awareness to be my enemy!"
Liu Zhang looked at the Xiliang soldiers who were constantly being buried in the sea of fire, without any guilt at all. He knew that when these Qiang people slaughtered their Han people, they would definitely not show any mercy.
"Bastard! Dog thief! You goddamn traitor!"
Beigong Boyu knew that it was impossible to get Liu Zhang to stop, so he could only insult him loudly in anger.
"My sons and daughters, rather than being burned alive here, it is better to go forward together! You can also fight a bloody path!"
"Go! As long as you kill it, you will be rewarded!"
The Xiliang soldiers who had not yet been affected by the fire heard Beigong Boyu's call and stepped forward bravely. Their huge desire to survive made them fearless.
It's a pity that what greeted them was not only the dense rain of arrows, but also the mountains on both sides began to throw wooden rolling stones, turning the people who were smashed by the Xiliang army on their backs!
"Ah! I don't want to die, get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way, I want to escape!"
"I quit! I want to go home! Woohoo!"
"..."
The last trace of morale of Xiliang soldiers was completely smashed by these logs and stones, and they no longer had any fighting spirit.
The cries, the burning sensation, and the smell of burnt human flesh stimulated the nerves of every Xiliang soldier!
There is an endless hell ahead, there is no way out, then run back, you will be able to escape for your life!
All the soldiers began to crowd back, and the soldiers who were caught on fire were cut down to the ground by their companions!
In order to survive, Xiliang soldiers could only keep pushing back, and the soldiers standing in front of them had become their enemies!
Slash and stomp! These have all been oriented to the former commanding troops, and have become the routine operations of Xiliang soldiers!
"Stop! What are you doing!"
No matter how Beigong Boyu shouted, still no one listened to his order, and all the soldiers were running for their lives.
Li Wenhou pulled Beigong Boyu over and shouted loudly in his ear.
"Brother, let's run back quickly! There is a fire here, so Liu Zhang can't pursue him!"
Beigong Boyu is now also without a master, so he can only nod mechanically, and runs back with Li Wenhou.
"My lord, Beigong Boyu and the others ran back. What should we do?"
Tai Shici originally wanted to ask if he needed to pursue, but the fire in front of him had already blocked the way of pursuit.
Liu Zhang had no intention of chasing him at all, chasing him now would only cost the soldiers their lives!
"Let's leave it to the evil! Didn't Beigong Boyu say that there are ambushes behind us, so let's attack them!"
"What's more, Zhou Shen is missing, and Meiyang City will definitely not be peaceful!"
Seeing that the road was completely blocked by the fire, and it was absolutely impossible to pass, Liu Zhang left slowly with the cavalry.
Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were still struggling to escape backwards. Even if they knew that the exit was unguarded, they would not choose to turn back. The terrain behind was narrow and the fire was already connected!
If they choose to turn back, their ending can only be burned to death!
Beigong Boyu and the others became more and more dull as they walked back. The corpses of Xiliang soldiers were everywhere, and fires were also everywhere. Fortunately, the road got wider and wider, and they finally found a way out.
Beigong Boyu looked back, saw the big fire behind him constantly barking its teeth and claws in the air, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Li Wenhou looked at Beigong Boyu dumbfounded, he couldn't understand why Beigong Boyu was laughing after he had ended up like this.
"Brother, life and death are unknown now, so why laugh!"
Beigong Boyu pointed at the fire behind him, showing a hint of complacency.
"Liu Zhang is so clever that he was misled by his cleverness. He thought that the fire could burn us to death, but he didn't expect that the sea of fire would also block his pursuit route!"
"If Liu Zhang leads the troops to kill him now, wouldn't we be waiting to be captured?"
Beigong Boyu still wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he was forced back by the sudden shouts of killing from the side.
"Fire the arrows and shoot them dead!"
Suddenly there were arrows shooting from the mountains on both sides, which shocked Beigong Boyu.
"Not good! There is also an ambush here, go!"
Fortunately, the arrows were relatively sparse, and the two were not injured when they escaped.
But compared to the previous laughing up to the sky, Beigong Boyu can be said to be in a terrible state of embarrassment!
As they continued to retreat, the road became wider and wider. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou finally fled to the entrance, and saw many soldiers resting here.
"General!"
"General!"
"General!"
Xiliang soldiers saluted Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou one after another, with joy, sadness, pain, and joy in their voices...
Beigong Boyu also had mixed feelings at this time. A few hours ago, he still led 40,000 cavalry, chasing Liu Zhang arrogantly!
It has only been a few hours now, and the soldiers under his command are dead and wounded! Forty thousand cavalry, now less than ten thousand!
"Brother, don't be sad, we can recruit more soldiers and horses, as long as we are still there!"
Beigong Boyu nodded, being alive this time is already the greatest gift!
"That's right, we have a lot of Qiang warriors! I'm not afraid that we won't be able to make a comeback! Besides, Bianzhang may have already captured Meiyang City!"
"Hiss...huh?"
Beigong Boyu looked at the entrance with reassurance, a trace of joy gradually appeared on his face, and then he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahahahaha!"
For some reason, Li Wenhou was very disgusted with the loud laughter, and was a little dissatisfied at the moment.
"Brother, just now you didn't listen to me and insisted on laughing, but the Han army ambush! Why are you laughing now!"
Beigong Boyu didn't care about Li Wenhou's dissatisfied tone, and shook his head proudly.
"Marquis Wen, you only know one thing, not the other!"
"In the forest just now, there was a fire everywhere. The two of us were frightened by the arrows that flew out suddenly, so we ran away in a panic. Now that I think about it, the number of arrows just now must be very few in number! And although the Han army is on the mountain, there is no one. I am also afraid of the fire and cannot go down the mountain!"
"Then Liu Zhang is really pretending to be a wise man! Not only can't make good use of fire tactics, but his soldiers will be exhausted by the fire!"
Beigong Boyu looked at Li Wenhou proudly, then pointed to his soldiers and then to the entrance.
"Wenhou, in my opinion, Liu Zhang is nothing more than that! We are at the end of the road now, if Liu Zhang arranges a soldier to wait for work at the mouth of the valley, wouldn't we all want to kill him!"
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
However, Beigong Boyu's laughter stopped abruptly soon. He found that a giant man who lifted the sky came out of Taniguchi at some point, and then watched countless soldiers pouring out!
The gigantic man in Qingtian smiled, looked at Beigong Boyu with admiration, and gave him a thumbs up at the same time.
"You boy, you are really a fucking talent!"
