Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328 Burning Quang Binh
Hua Xiong led his troops to the outside of Guangnian city, he saw the soldiers patrolling the city drowsy and listless, he was secretly happy.

At about three o'clock, he ordered Yang Feng and Yang Jun to lead an army to the city wall, and at the same time, they lit fire objects and shot rockets into the city.

The city walls of Guangnian City were not tall, and rockets fell into the city like locusts. The fires instantly ignited on the roofs, lit up the entire street, and spread into the city along the night wind.

It turned out that Liu He was preparing in the city by ordering people to bury sulfur and kerosene in the neighboring roofs and thatch, which would ignite if they encountered sparks, not to mention the many rockets flying into them.

At this time, Yuan Jun in the city was preparing to cook and gather. Suddenly he saw fires everywhere, and hurried to the government office to report that Wen Chou was still asleep.

After a while, suddenly several people came to report that there were several fires, Gao Lan and Guo Tu were awakened early, pushed open the door and called Wen Chou, at this time the houses along the street were already on fire.

Wen Chou put on his horse in a hurry, and saw that the city was full of flames, illuminating half of the sky, thick smoke filled the city, and there were screams.

"Which bastard did it?" Wen Chou was so angry that his eyes burst into tears, and he roared: "Whoever catches fire first, the military law will do it."

Guo Tu panicked and said in a trembling voice: "General, Liu He must have caused such a big fire. The city is already on fire. If you don't leave, you will not be able to escape."

Gao Lan said: "The soldiers at the east gate didn't report it just now, so the fire must have not caught fire at the east gate. Let's go!"

Wen Chou was startled and angry, and immediately led the crowd to flee out of the city. The street was red with fire and the heat wave was rolling. Some soldiers crawled out of the room, their bodies were on fire, screaming again and again, very penetrating.

The crowd came to the east gate with thick smoke, choked and coughed, and their faces were covered with ashes. They saw soldiers huddled together here, trampling each other, causing countless casualties.

Wen Chou yelled, told the soldiers to get out of the way, led the remnant soldiers out, and looked back at Guangnian City, which had turned into a sea of ​​flames, his face turned iron blue, but he was helpless.

Just as he was walking, suddenly there were shouts of killing from left and right, and ambush soldiers rushed out. Wen Chou was shocked, and hurriedly urged his horse to flee for his life. Stay to fight?

It was Hua Xiong who led the army from behind, Yang Feng on the left and Yang Jun on the right. Three groups of people rushed to kill each other, Yuan Jun fled for his life, and countless people died.

While Wen Chou was running, suddenly an army came out from the forest. He was the first with a white horse and a white robe, reflecting the distant flames, looking very imposing.

The man sneered and said, "General Wen, this is the end, why don't you dismount and surrender?"

Wen Chou stared at the visitor, and said in a deep voice, "Are you Liu He?"

"That's right!" Liu He nodded and said, "I think you are quite courageous. Yuan Benchu ​​deceived the world, stole his name, colluded with thieves, and harmed the people. Why don't you abandon the dark and turn to the bright?"

"Presumptuous!" Wen Chou was furious, and urged his horse to go forward and shouted: "If I kill you, I can still escape."

Liu He didn't wait for him to make a move, a general rushed out from behind, and shouted in a muffled voice, "Don't hurt my lord!"

With a clang, Wen Chou's iron spear was swung away, causing his arms to go numb.

Wen Chou was shocked when he saw the man with a stout figure, beard and hair standing on end, and holding a pair of halberds. He didn't expect there to be such a brave general besides Yan Liang.

At this time, Hua Xiong also arrived with his troops, and there was a lot of shouting. Wen Chou didn't dare to fight, so he fought hard to force Dianwei back, and led the remnants of the army to rush away.

Liu He didn't chase after him, and ordered Dian Wei to lead people to intercept and kill the remnants for a while, and those who had nowhere to go were captured and persuaded to surrender.

Hua Xiong rushed to the front, and Liu He ordered: "General Hua quickly lead the troops back to the city, and capture all the enemy troops in the city, and don't kill them indiscriminately."

Hua Xiong led the way, and Liu He sent someone to send a letter to Zhu Ling, who was filling up the Mingshui, telling him to keep an eye on the movement downstream, and if he heard the noise of soldiers and someone entered the water, he would dig the river and release the water.

Guo Jia saw that Liu He's arrangements were so thoughtful, and sighed: "I never thought that the general could come up with such an ingenious plan, it's not as good as Jia!"

Liu He chuckled, feeling refreshed in his heart. This inspiration actually came from Zhuge Liang's plan to burn Xinye, but Xiao Liangliang hadn't grown up yet, so he had to use it first in a hurry.

It is indeed a wonderful plan of Crouching Dragon, Guo Jia agreed after seeing it!
Wen Chou led the remnant soldiers to flee to Mingshui. The east was gradually brightening, and the pursuers finally disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the soldiers were exhausted, and most of the soldiers were exhausted and thirsty.

Wen Chou looked around, there were only Gao Lan and Han Juzi, but Guo Tu was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't take care of many people in the chaos of the night, and wondered if he would survive.

Suddenly his heart moved, and he said to the two of them: "Nearly 2 horses have been lost this time, which has damaged our vitality. The lord will definitely be angry and punish us. What should we do?"

Gao Lan sighed helplessly: "Who knows that Liu He has many tricks and deliberately burned a city. This is also a helpless thing."

Wen Chou sneered and said: "This is all Mr. Guo's plan. If he didn't urge us to attack Guangnian and wait for the Lord's army to arrive before deploying, how could there be such a defeat?"

Han Juzi reacted suddenly, and shouted: "That's right, it's just that Guo Tu doesn't know how to use tricks, and he thinks he's falling into an ambush."

Gao Lan was surprised and said, "You two..."

Wen Chou sneered and said, "General Gao, although you surrendered to General Yuan at the same time as Guo Tu, Guo Tu never supported you. Who can afford to blame the Lord for this matter?"

Gao Lan's expression changed. He is a newcomer, and his status and qualifications cannot be compared with Wen Chou and others. If it weren't for Gao Gan, the clan brother, Yuan Shao would not have valued him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wen Chou smiled coldly and saw the people and horses going down into the river one after another. They were making a lot of noise, the horses were neighing, and the commotion was overwhelming.

A few people were worried that there would be pursuers coming, so they decided to cross the bridge to rest on the other side. As soon as they got on the bridge, Wen Chou suddenly pointed to the river and laughed.

Gao Lan and the others were shocked. How could he still laugh after being defeated so badly?
Han Juzi asked suspiciously, "Why is the general laughing?"

Wen Chou pointed at one person and laughed loudly, "Look at that person."

Several people looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a soldier dared to go ashore just now, with a flag wrapped around his back, which was Gao Lan's flag, and the word "Gao" on his back was very eye-catching.

Gao Lan's face was livid, and when he was turning his head, he saw another person also came ashore, and immediately said with a smile: "General Wen, look ahead?"

Wen Chou looked and saw that another person was also wrapped in a flag, which was his banner. The word "Wen" was wrapped around his buttocks, shaking from side to side, looking really cute.

"It's unreasonable, come here..." Wen Chou was furious, and was about to call for people to capture the soldier, when suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he pointed to the distance and said in a trembling voice, "Quick...see what that is?"

Han Juzi was lowering his head and covering his mouth and sniggering, when he heard Wen Chou's exclamation, he quickly raised his head, opened his mouth slightly in shock, and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, cross the river, the torrent is coming."

Everyone was shocked, and hurried across the stone bridge, shouting loudly to the soldiers in the river, but at this moment, most people couldn't hear the noise of people and horses, even if someone found the torrent, it was too late to escape.

The turbid waves in the upstream were rolling, and the water was like a galloping horse. In a blink of an eye, many soldiers were drawn into the torrent, struggling and screaming, and the entire stone bridge was submerged.
