Long Song Wanli Dingshan River

The flint hit the city wall and cracked suddenly.

Ordinary flint is shattered when it is broken. It is a thing made of clay and stone, and if it is cracked, it is just ashes to ashes to ashes.

However, as soon as the flint cracked, a group of people immediately exclaimed!

In the flint, there actually flowed red viscous strange water, and the strange water expanded at an extremely slow speed, but it was extremely frightening - when it touched the soldiers, the soldiers' whole body would burn; , The bow|crossbow was burnt to coke, but two or three flints broke, and there was a sea of ​​flames above the west gate!

Many soldiers reacted quickly, and hurriedly shouted to get out and poured water on the fire, but a flint could ignite a large area, and buckets of water poured down, but it was a drop in the bucket. Burned and howling.

"Captain Li! Captain Li!"

A soldier's face was blackened by the smoke and fire, and his left sleeve was burned alive, revealing a large piece of scorching flesh and blood: "Wei Jun...Wei Jun actually hollowed out the flint and poured molten iron into it. This... there is no way to resist it." ah!"

Li Shouyi gritted his teeth. He glanced back. The people in the city seemed to feel the shaking above the city gate. The bleak and lonely street was filled with people in the blink of an eye. The city wall was too high, and the people in the city didn't know why. Generally standing, looking vigilantly towards the direction of the city gate.

Behind the city gate, there are hundreds of thousands of Xiangyang people.

He can't take a step back.

Li Shouyi drew his sword: "Brothers! The city gate cannot be broken! Defend Xiangyang!"

"General!"

In the official office, a soldier rushed in quickly, and the tassels on his helmet were scorched. He didn't even care about etiquette, and hurriedly reported to Xia Luo: "West City Gate... West City Gate!"

Chang Ge immediately stood up: "How about the West Gate!"

"The west gate is urgent! The enemy, the enemy put molten iron in the flint. The west gate has suffered heavy casualties. It is already a sea of ​​flames!"

"what!"

Xia Luo immediately struggled to get up, but was hurriedly supported by Chang Ge: "General Xia, don't worry too much, I'm here."

The official office was connected to the back door of the city wall, and he followed the commanding soldiers along the city wall towards the west gate. Before halfway through the journey, he could see black smoke billowing in the distance, and the direction of the west gate was full of flames.

The falling stones are like giant beans, and they are scattered in a dark direction. Every time they hit the city wall, the city wall will shake.

Chang Ge is too familiar with this thing.

This is the fourth year of Mingzhao in the Great Zhou Dynasty, when he went to the northern border to quell the chaos of ghosts and Rong, and when he broke the defense of the capitals of the ghosts and mian kingdoms, he invented the Liuhuoyusui.

Liuhuoyusha, in the final analysis, is a low-quality ore, called actinolite, which is tough and brittle. It is ground into a ball and hollowed out inside. Before getting on the catapult, pour hot molten iron into the top hollow, and then paint on the outside. Fill the fire with oil to maintain the temperature and throw out the siege.

This stone is extremely brittle, so you have to be careful when pouring the molten iron. When it hits the city wall, it will crack like broken jade, and the molten iron will splash in all directions. Both heroic and chilling.

Based on this, Chang Ge named it Liuhuo Yusui.

At that time, he was relying on this thing, forcing the guards on Guirong Dadu to be defeated. The city wall was full of fire and cracks, and there was no resistance at all. After the war, it took several years to rebuild the city gate.

It was also because this thing was too cruel that he only used it once and sealed it forever.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, he could actually see it in the siege battle of the Wei army-these princes despised his behavior on the surface and shouted at him, but behind his back, he learned quickly.

The closer to the west gate, the air was full of smoke and dust, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was getting heavier. Chang Ge tore off his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose. When he arrived at the west gate, most of the tower of the west gate had been burned to nothing.

He grabbed an archer defending the city beside the battlements: "Where is your Lieutenant Li?"

At this moment, with a bang, a big flint exploded within ten steps, a battlement was blown to pieces by the force, rubble splashed everywhere, and the ground instantly caught fire.

Chang Ge subconsciously raised his arms to protect the soldier who was interrogating. The soldier was choked by the smoke twice, and tried his best to say: "Captain Li...Captain Li has left the city!"

"Out of town?!"

Just as he was about to ask again, the archer couldn't stop coughing up blood, and there was a large amount of blood dripping from his body. It is estimated that the internal organs had already suffered internal injuries, and now he was exhaling more air and not taking in more air.He couldn't even breathe, how could he answer.

Chang Ge quickly handed him over to the commanding soldier beside him, and asked him to pull the wounded man to the rear to see if there was any way to heal him. He raised his halberd, lightly climbed onto the battlements, and quickly approached the west gate.

Walking on the city wall avenue, with the battlements on both sides as cover, is certainly safer, but now the flints are flying, and the city wall is full of overflowing iron puddles and rings of fire, making walking much more difficult.

Walking on the pile is the quickest way at present, although it is desperate and there is a danger of being hit by flint.

Chang Ge was nimble, doing several ups and downs on the battlements to avoid several siege flints. When he was still one or two battlements away from the West Tower, he happened to be in the setting sun.

The sunlight passed over the eaves of the tower, piercing people's eyes so hard that they couldn't keep their eyes open. Just for a moment, there was a loud noise nearby. When Chang Ge recovered his vision from the strong light, a first-class fire jade fragment appeared in front of him, which was not far away from him. To a distance of several feet!

He glanced around, and there was a sea of ​​fire all around him, with no place to stay.But even if there was a place to stay, it was too late for him to avoid this distance, and the fireball was almost in front of him in an instant, and he could even see the dark red hot molten iron surging and churning in it from the cracked gap——

"General!"

Chang Ge's waist softened, as if something was entwined around him, and then he was taken by a clever force, and he took advantage of the trend to rise and fall in the direction of this force, when he jumped up, the flint hit him on the ground he was standing on with a bang. On the battlements, suddenly, the flames burst into flames and molten iron radiated in all directions.

When Chang Ge stood firm again, the city wall under his feet trembled like weeping.

"General, are you alright!"

Only then did Chang Ge see clearly the person who helped him.

You Qing was retracting the electric whip in his hand, just now he was in a hurry, Chang Ge didn't have time to jump away, and he didn't have time to fly to save him, so he had to wrap the soft whip around Chang Ge's waist, with skillful force, he was completely rolled up.

You Qing was anxious to speak, but Chang Ge stopped him softly, and led him to hide behind the side of the tower, which was covered by the main body of the tower, so it was barely safe, Chang Ge was vigilant about the surroundings, and quickly said: "This place is too dangerous, concise and to the point. "

So Xiaoqing highlighted the situation here and made it clear.

He was originally ordered by Chang Ge to tell Li Shouyi to guard the city gate for an hour, and then Chang Ge would go out as planned to attract the attention of the Wei army and the middle army.Unexpectedly, not long after he delivered the order, the Wei army suddenly began to attack the city by throwing fire and jade fragments.

So far, Li Shouyi was still guarding the city gate, and even sent a small number of soldiers to evacuate the people near the city gate and the city wall. Unexpectedly, the Wei army saw that the guards of Xiangyang City were in chaos, and began to beat drums and shout, trying to force Li Shouyi to abandon the city and surrender.

The other party spoke all kinds of tricks and insulted him in every possible way. Of course, Li Shouyi understood that this was a strategy to capture the thief first, and wanted to lure him out of the city, so he turned a deaf ear and closed the door.

"Until the other party shouted, if he leaves the city alone, he will immediately stop this offensive..."

Chang Ge heard the words, and immediately turned his face and sighed: "Confused!"

"Yes...General Li thought that the Wei army was a man of faith, and thought that one sacrifice would bring peace to the people of Xiangyang, so he went out of the city alone to fight. More bullying than less, a weird big formation was set up, and Li Duwei was lost in the formation. After that, the flint chariot started throwing flint to attack the city again! I saw that the situation was not good, so I hurried back to think about it. Inform the general, I didn't expect to run into the general by chance!"

"maze?"

You Qingchao pointed outside the city: "It's that big formation. I counted it. There are about [-] troops."

Chang Ge rubbed the center of his brows, only to feel a splitting headache.

After that, Xiaoqing didn't need to say anything, he could also guess that when the generals defending the city entered the battle, they would either sacrifice their heads to sacrifice the flag, threaten them with pillars, or both.

Chang Ge said: "You bring my dark horse, I'll go to the front line to see."

"The general is going to rescue Li Duwei?!" Youqing exclaimed: "Most of the gates of the city have been destroyed, and there are less than a thousand soldiers guarding the city. If the general goes deep alone at this time, he will fall into the enemy's trap! The general wants to Li Duwei can't hold on, he resisted orders before the battle, he will be gone when he is gone, but now, there is no way to lose the general!"

Chang Ge gave him a cold look, and You Qing shut up consciously.

Chang Ge: "He resisted the order before the army. He resisted the order before the army. Abandoning the robe is abandoning the robe. Even if he is so stupid that he loses the city and land, he has to be brought back to judge the crime. What's more, now that the Wei army is approaching the city, you think that the one who saved is Is he just Li Shouyi? Going out of the city to fight now, holding back the Wei Zhongjun, is robbing time and saving the entire Xiangyang city!"

Youqing muttered in a low voice: "...Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City will be smashed into a sieve by flint...I think it's not as good as..."

He didn't dare to say retreat or abandon the city in front of Chang Ge.

The tower they were leaning against was shaken terribly, and the fire had eaten through the skeleton of the city wall, as if the entire gate tower was about to collapse in the next moment.

Chang Ge leaned back slightly, leaning against the shadows, his shoulders were rarely relaxed, and his eyes drifted into the city.

The city was full of people with their families, but more people had already given up and fled. They hugged their wives and children and huddled in the courtyard and under the wall. The city was full of crying and shouting, but the voice of the people was burned. The sound of Yusha siege was eaten up.

Among the people running around, a child seemed to have sensed something, stopped and looked in Chang Ge's direction.

Chang Ge sighed softly: "...Running is easy, running is the easiest - just turn around and run away with your eyes closed. But let me ask you, what will they do if we run away? Do they still have a place to run? ?”

You Qing was speechless.

Usually Chang Ge is always tall and bright, with smiles in his crooked eyes, but at this moment when he looked into the city, You Qing suddenly felt that he looked a little tired.

"Lead my black horse to the west gate, and call out two hundred elite cavalry."

After Chang Ge finished speaking, he stood up, and the sunlight fell against his silhouette. In the blink of an eye, the feeling of fatigue and loneliness disappeared, and Chang Ge turned back into that handsome and reliable general.

"Yes."

After Youqing responded, Chang Ge jumped out from his hiding place behind the city tower, stepping on the few gaps between the flames and went away.

The fire was in full bloom, and from a distance, he seemed to be walking on a piece of fire lotus.

Outside the city of Xiangyang.

The sun was setting in the west, and the left side of Situ Wen, the chief general of the Wei army, was hot and sore from the sun.

He turned his head and asked one side of the general: "That Captain Li, is he still running?"

"Yes, still carrying it to death."

Li Duwei, the gatekeeper at the west gate, was already trapped in the maze, but he refused to catch it without a fight.

Situ Wen smiled.

What kind of resistance is there, as if someone will come to rescue him.The city of Xiangyang was in danger, who would care about the life and death of a mere captain.

Situ Wen could have marched directly and captured Xiangyang City in one fell swoop, but a few days ago his brother Situ Wu died so uselessly that he had to show his anger on Li Shouyi.

He ordered the archers not to shoot arrows, and only asked the soldiers to pose in a maze, so that Li Duwei could not tell the direction. At this time, he let the cavalry into the formation, followed this Li Duwei, and chased him away. .

No matter how good a horse is, it will die of exhaustion—let this man run to his death, barely giving his brother a break.

At this time, on Xiangyang City, fire and jade fragments were flying everywhere.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was covered with red clouds. From a distance, it was actually connected with the flames of Xiangyang.

Situ Wen took the small bosom furnace from the military adviser, with a smile on his lips.

When he kills Li Duwei, and then breaks open the northern gate of Chu, when one hundred thousand Wei soldiers enter the city, he will wash Xiangyang with blood, and let hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city be buried with his elder brother Situ Wu.

Suddenly, the bronze trumpet rang loudly in Xiangyang City, and the gate of the city opened wide. A touch of bright red rushed out first, leading a small team to stop in front of tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Situ Wen recognized this person at a glance. It seems that the military adviser was not lying at the time - Chang Ge was not dead, and it was he who killed Situ Wu.

It's really hard to find a place through iron shoes, and it saves him from going to the door to look for it.

"Chang Ge!" Situ Wen stood up from Wei Jun's chariot, and shouted from the air: "You just bring such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled... Tsk tsk, there are less than 200 people, break my [-] strange formation?"

Wei Jun burst out laughing.

"General!"

A boyish voice sounded from above the city gate, causing Chang Ge to turn his head.

Flint fell from the sky, and the fire and smoke broke through the city.

Red clouds overwhelm the city, and the ruins are solemnly seeing off.

In such a majestic scene, Chang Ge saw Zhu Zheng standing on the tower.

The author has something to say:

The boy's voice is Youqing, Zhu Zheng didn't intend to call him, Youqing was afraid that Chang Ge would not turn back
