Qiao Rui did go to stop the Taishan Army that was charging in, but unlike what Xun Zheng thought, the first thing Qiao Rui did when he went out was to order people to prepare tung oil and pour it on the north and south main streets of Pingyu. Since he couldn't hold it at this time For the city, Qiao Rui won't go all out, but it is still necessary to stop the enemy.
"Hua Xiong! Die!" Qiao Rui stood alone in the center of the city with three or five guards and shouted at the sound of horse hooves in the distance. The rest of his men were killed by Qiao Rui. Rui was immediately sent to guard the baggage and supplies, but he didn't have the idea of ??being able to guard them. He just asked these people to burn them if they couldn't guard them. The only way to do it was to burn them!
Hua Xiong, who went straight to the center of the city, was stunned when he heard Qiaorui's roar. He never thought that Qiaorui, who had always been considered as timid as a mouse in his mind, would choose to challenge him in this situation.
"You go somewhere else." Hua Xiong turned to the people behind him and said, "Let me give him a heroic death!"
Hua Xiong still maintains his weird character. He doesn't want to be blasphemed against warriors, no matter they are his own people or enemies, so he plans to kill Qiao Rui himself.
After saying that, Hua Xiong clamped his horse's belly and killed at full speed in the direction of Qiao Rui.
"You all are optimistic. If you see that guy coming, don't hesitate. Throw the tung oil cans and torches out. I've spread tung oil on half the street! I don't believe you can't kill Hua Xiong!" Qiao Rui warned the people around him. road.
Hua Xiong was very fast and saw the bridge standing under the torch from a distance. Although he suddenly felt uneasy, he was not afraid.
At this moment, an earthen jar was thrown towards Hua Xiong. He casually smashed them with a big knife. Hua Xiong was a little curious about what these sticky things were, but the next moment Hua Xiong was suddenly shocked. Directly explode his inner energy with all his strength.
"Throw the torch!" Qiao Rui yelled.
As soon as he finished speaking, all five torches fell to the ground. The next moment, the tung oil mixed with unknown ingredients that was splashed everywhere burst into a ball of flames, which crazily ignited half of the street, along with the torches that had been splashed with a can of tung oil. Xiongdu almost caught fire.
"You are looking for death!" Hua Xiong angrily threw away the tung oil stained on his body, but inadvertently, his clothes also caught fire.
"Shoot for me!" Hua Xiong relied on his feeling to hit Qiao Rui with all his strength, then turned over and fell off his horse, stomping his feet hard. Hua Xiong jumped directly into the air more than ten meters high and looked at the miserable bridge in front of him. Hua Xiong was furious. Qiao Rui's actions seriously tarnished his heart as a warrior.
With flames burning all over his body, Hua Xiong angrily exploded his inner energy, trying his best to block the flames on his clothes from burning.
"Death to Qiao Rui!" Hua Xiong stood high in the sky. He did not take off his burning clothes at all, but instead mobilized all his strength. He slashed hard at Qiao Rui who was panicked when he saw him leaping up.
"Boom!" Hua Xiong vented all his anger with one blow. He slashed hard at Qiao Rui. The huge light blade was a hundred meters long. While slashing Qiao Rui to death, it also severely damaged the morale of Yuan Shujun's army.
After killing Qiao Rui with one knife, Hua Xiong fell into the fire again. As for the yellow gelding under his crotch, he didn't know where he ran after he fell off the horse. He casually tore off the armor on his body. Hua Xiong was only wearing a pair of trousers and his upper body and carrying the knife directly from the Killed out of the fire scene. This kind of fire field, which is only more than 100 meters away, cannot stop a master like Hua Xiong from burning such generals alive. Unless someone is willing to use the entire city as a fire scene.
Looking at Qiao Rui who was slashed from the shoulder to the abdomen by himself, Hua Xiong spat disdainfully. What he hated most was this kind of shameless guy.
Hua Xiong, who was shirtless and carrying a knife with a smoky face, turned and walked towards Yuan's Mansion. After entering Yuan's Mansion, Hua Xiong found that there was no one inside. When he came back, he looked at Qiao Rui's body. Hua Xiong's His expression was obviously complicated.
"General! But you want to take the enemy general's head?" a guard asked.
"Forget it, although this guy is a bit shameless, he is also a loyal person. Let's sew up his body and find a place for a decent burial." Hua Xiong waved his hand and said, he was accustomed to thinking about others according to his own.
The shouts of killing became smaller and smaller, and finally the entire city returned to silence, except for the flames still burning in some places.
The sky was covered with raindrops the moment Chen Xi entered the city, and the smell of fireworks in the entire city quickly faded under the heavy summer rain.
Within three days, the battle reports of the East, West, and Middle Routes were placed on the three crucial princes cases of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu. As for Liu Biao, he really wanted to know but unfortunately there was no way to pass it on.
Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed and had no worries anymore. Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun, who had just joined him, with a complicated look on his face and sighed, while Yuan Shu saw this situation.At that time, several cases were overturned!
"Withdraw the troops!" Yuan Shu said angrily!
"Lord, please calm down. Although we are a little tired from attacking the city day and night, the Jiangling defenders are not as good as me. If we don't defeat Liu Jingsheng now, all the territory we gained before will be given away, and even our hometown will be lost!" Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's number one adviser, stood up and comforted him, saying that the current situation is already too difficult to get out of the situation!
Yuan Shu¡¯s expression flickered, he was not a fool. As soon as Yang Hong mentioned it, he immediately understood that the current situation no longer allowed him to make any other choice!
"Fight! Capture Jiangling! I will see Liu Biao's head within ten days!" Yuan Shu shouted frantically. He had no way to retreat. Cao Mengde locked up Yingchuan, Chen Zichuan locked up Runan, and Guan Yunchang sealed off Chen Guo. The troops are all trapped in Jingzhou. Once they retreat and their morale drops, Liu Biao's army may push down the entire Jingbei as easily as he did when he defeated Liu Biao! As for Jingnan, once Jingbei is captured, the entire Jingnan will surrender to the winner!
Yuan Shu didn¡¯t tell anyone about Yuzhou¡¯s affairs. He just ordered that Jiangling City should be captured within ten days. Even if there was a crowd of people, Jiangling City would still be captured!
Chen Xi and Liu Ye actually still have some ability to continue fighting, but they all stopped like Cao Cao who could no longer move forward. They all knew that the gains would outweigh the losses if they continued to attack.
Although Nanyang is good, Liu Xuande can't even annex Yuzhou, let alone this enclave. Even all the counselors in Lu County, a useless place, think that it should be left to Cao Cao or Yuan Shu and let them bite the dog. This time they have obtained There are too many benefits. If Liu Biao cannot defend Jiangling in this situation, then Chen Xi will have nothing to say and will directly return to Qingzhou to develop, and let Cao Mengde and Yuan Shu bite the dog!
After all, after conquering Yuzhou to hone his soldiers, and also grabbing a grain-producing land, Cao Mengde, who has a large number of civil servants and generals, will definitely not have a problem holding Yuan Shu for a year. As for Qingzhou and Taishan, unfortunately, they are not bordering Yuzhou, so they can only fight Let¡¯s fight Cao Mengde first.
Even if Yuan Shu opened the golden finger and defeated Cao Cao, it would have been more than a year. At that time, Liu Bei, who had stabilized Qingzhou, didn't mind using Xuzhou and Lu as battlefields. He wouldn't feel bad even if he was beaten to pieces. Moreover, at that time, Yuan Shu Even if the golden finger is turned on, the old man will be crushed to death if he is standing next to him! (To be continued)
