    (Thank you, Dameng! Thank you Zhao Wuxie 2014, ug, Guaibaobao555) Boom boom boom boom boom!  Flowing fire splashed in all directions, red beads flew randomly, black smoke filled the air, and flames soared into the sky.  [+New^^+ Countless fireballs in the sky, dragging their tail flames, hit the water, the ground, the cabin, the white sail, the wooden fence and even the body No matter people or things, they will burn if they touch them, and they will burn if they rub against them.  As far as the eye could see, there were burning objects everywhere, soldiers howling and running wildly, burning people rolling on the ground, and soldiers on the warships who could not bear to be burned and jumped into the water to escape.  From time to time, missing fireballs hit the water, stirring up high water columns. The water surface sizzles and puffs of white smoke rise, gathering into dense mist over the river, forming a strong black and white contrast with the black smoke clouds on the river bank.  contrast.  When the fireball hit the pyrotechnic tank used for defense in the Jiangdong Army's water village, fireworks flew everywhere, hundreds of soldiers turned into pyromen, and the rising flames almost burned the sky red.  Fireballs, flames, thick smoke, charred corpses, a sea of ??fire, and burning people dancing wildly This horrific scene is like the end of the world.  At this moment, Jiangdong Army¡¯s command system was completely paralyzed. From the commanding generals at all levels to ordinary soldiers, everyone was running for their lives.  Even though there is wisdom like the sea, it can conquer mountains and rivers, but water and fire are ruthless and cannot be resisted by human beings.  Even though the three most powerful heroes from the Three Kingdoms gathered together, in the face of this man-made disaster, they could only run for their lives.  The worst thing is that since almost all the leaders of the Jiangdong Army gathered in the watchtower, at least one-third of the trebuchets in the first wave of attacks were aimed at this eye-catching target.  The three heroes rushed to escape, and as soon as they rushed down the watchtower, they went their separate ways: Sun Quan and other Jiangdong generals rushed to the back gate of the water village; Liu Bei, escorted by Zhang Fei, rushed to the water gate on the left to meet Guan Yu; Cao Cao and his son saw that the situation was over and did not want to follow Jiangdong.  They all finished together and rushed to the pier on the right front with a group of retinues.  At this point, Sun, Cao and Liu went their separate ways, and the three alliances fell apart.  Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other generals tried their best to protect Sun Quan and escape from the watchtower.  Escape to the back door of the water village.  This was an unprecedented shame and humiliation for generals Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu.  Since leading the army, they have never deserted the army and fled during battle, let alone even fought.  He ran for his life as soon as the war started.  But what can be done?  How can flesh and blood compete with iron fire?  When they just ran down from the watchtower and escaped more than ten feet, there were several bangs behind them, and the watchtower was hit hard.  It collapsed in the black smoke and red flames.  Because Pan Zhang drank too much, his reaction was slower than that of ordinary people and he ran last.  The watchtower collapsed, and Pan Zhang roared angrily before being completely buried.  Poor general, a member of the Jiangdong Army, died in the ruins without even having a chance to fight against the Dragon and Wolf Army.  Sun Quan looked back and saw that before he could even cry out, Dong Xi shouted in his ears: "Lord, lie down!" He was immediately pushed down with force.  Boom!  A fireball fell from the sky and exploded into hundreds of pieces about ten steps away from the group of escapees.  Splashing around.  Half of Sun Quan and his party were affected by the terrifying fragments that were comparable to red-hot iron juice, and the consequences were simply catastrophic.  How could a fireball explode?  Is it a hollow ball?  Actually it's not.  The iron materials used in these iron balls are all iron slag left over from steelmaking.  In Pingguo, Liaodong, such iron slag waste is piled up to the height of a hill.  After Ma Huan came out with the trebuchet, he wanted to use the iron slag to make iron balls to attack the enemy. After all, polishing and processing stone bullets was very labor-intensive, and it was best to use the waste.  However, experiments have confirmed that its texture is loose and brittle.  It has poor destructive power on city walls and can only hit people and objects.  So Ma Han proposed a braised iron ball. After a try, the effect was comparable to the defensive iron juice.  Extremely scary.  Because the iron ball is brittle and becomes soft after it is red-hot, it will shatter when it hits the ground when dropped from a height of more than ten feet, breaking into dozens of large and small pieces, or even disintegrating into nearly a hundred pieces of iron filings.  These are as small as grains of rice.  Iron filings as big as a fingernail can only scratch a person's flesh under normal circumstances, but when dropped and broken at high speed, they become a sharp weapon with strong kinetic energy, comparable to a crossbow bolt.  What's even more frightening is that these sharp weapons are still red-hot. Every Jiangdong soldier who is hit in the body feels like he is being burned.  This kind of double damage is enough to make people lose their low resistance instantly, which is comparable to the "grape bomb", the great weapon of naval warfare in the Age of Discovery.  When the fireball hit the ground and exploded, the first one to bear the brunt was Zhou Tai, the fierce general who was opening the way for the team.  Zhou Tai was famous among Jiangdong generals for being covered in scars.  Every scar is a symbol of glory, and this time there are no less than twenty or thirty new scars.  The bright red iron pieces penetrated the leather armor, penetrated the flesh, and even penetrated the abdomen, like dozens of soldering irons piercing the body at the same time.  This kind of pain is not something ordinary people can endure.  Zhou Tai let out an earth-shattering roar, trembling all over, and fell to his knees, beating the ground with his fists, blood dripping unconsciously.  In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and the pain passed away.  The surrounding servants who were affected screamed and fell down, rolling on the ground in unbearable pain.  Huang Gai and Jiang Qin each received one shot in their hands and feet., the two of them used the hem of their clothes to wrap up a bit of iron filings exposed outside the flesh, gritted their teeth and pulled it out, their brows twitching.  It's so unbearable to see how unbearable it is to see that I was hit with only one piece, and that Zhou Tai was hit with dozens of pieces Thinking about it makes me gasp.  Cheng Pu hurriedly turned around and looked Sun Quan up and down: "Is everything okay, my lord?" Sun Quan's face was pale, his facial muscles twitched, he gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's okay." He quietly pressed his palm on his lower abdomen, pressing it tightly As he spoke, another  There was a loud bang, and everyone fell down in fright. They looked intently. Fortunately, it was twenty steps away and was blocked by messy things, so it was not affected.  "Quickly, lift Captain Zhou up and get out of here! Get out of here!" Zhou Yu shouted repeatedly, his voice changing the tone.  Everyone fled in panic. Fireballs fell from time to time from behind and to the left and right. The sound was soul-destroying and frightening.  ¡­ ¡­ With his sword on the ground, Guan Yuzhu sat on the bow deck, his expression numb, like a sculpture, motionless.  At this time, Mr. Guan had lost his former majesty. Several holes were burned in his green turban, his red face was blackened and purple by the smoke, and his beautiful beard was burnt.  There were several scratches on the face, and the deepest one was all rolled up, but it didn't bleed. This was the only advantage of the iron, it could stop the bleeding.  From time to time, fire shadows flashed around, piercing the ship's planks, igniting the sails, burning the cables, and turning the soldiers who had no time to jump into the river into dancing firemen.  There were howls on the boat and screams on the river.  Intertwined into a hell on earth.  Guan Ping fell at his father's knees and begged with several of his followers: "General, leave quickly, this ship is going to sink!" Guan Yu remained unmoved.  Boom!  A fireball hit the cabin ceiling.  The cabin roof shattered, quickly igniting the contents of the cabin and burning half of the ship.  Guan Yu remained motionless.  When the last few retinues fled in all directions, Guan Ping lay flat on the ground and swore to live and die with his father.     finally.  A familiar voice came from the distance: "Second brother, where are you" Guan Yu stood up in shock and shouted: "Eldest brother! Third brother!" The person he had been waiting for finally arrived.  Amid the billowing smoke, a small boat rowed up on the river. There were only three or five people on the boat. Standing at the bow was an anxious-looking Zhang Fei, while Liu Bei was lying across the cabin.  When the three brothers get together again.  They couldn't help but hug each other tightly and burst into tears.  But soon, Guan Yu realized something was wrong. He looked down and was shocked: "Brother, you, you are injured." Liu Bei was not only injured, but also seriously injured. One of his right legs was twisted and deformed seriously.  He was burned, and it was obvious at first glance that he was in the process of escaping.  Unfortunately, I won the "big prize".  In the late Han Dynasty, when a casual arrow could kill a general, such an injury was definitely a serious injury. Just a late infection was enough to kill Liu Bei three times.  Guan Yu burst into tears.  He held Liu Bei's hand tightly: "Brother, we will not abandon you. We brothers will rush out together!" Liu Bei held the shoulders of his two foster brothers and sat down with difficulty. He stretched his legs and endured the pain.  He shook his head and said: "You go, I won't survive. Raise my banner to attract the enemy's attack, and you can break out in a small boat." Guan Yu took a deep breath and nodded resolutely: "Okay, Third Brother and Ping'er  Let's go together. My eldest brother and I stayed behind to lure the enemy." Liu Bei and Zhang Fei exclaimed in unison: "I can't help it" But they saw Guan Yu slowly turning around!  His entire back armor was burned away, and his skin and flesh were burnt black. You could clearly see his reddish muscles and pale muscle fibers The severity of his injuries was no less than that of Liu Bei, and comparable to that of Zhou Taixiang.  I can't believe how he endured it.  However, it is not difficult to understand when you think about this gentleman's deeds of scraping bones to heal injuries.  The situation is already very clear. Liu Bei and Guan Yu are seriously injured and they have no problem escaping or not.  Instead of hiding like a bereaved dog, inevitably dying in the end, it is better to die vigorously on the battlefield.  However, Zhang Fei and Guan Ping were only slightly injured and still had a chance to escape.  Guan Pingchang couldn't kneel down and knelt his head until blood dripped from his head, refusing to leave his father.  Guan Yu angrily shouted: "Hey! Could it be that we who want to collect the bones for burial can't do it!" After this drink, Guan Ping finally stopped speaking.  Yes, it is an act of filial piety to accompany one's father to death, it is an act of filial piety to collect the body of his late father and return to one's hometown for burial.  Zhang Fei was also persuaded to leave by Liu Bei for the same reason.  Watching Zhang Fei and Guan Ping board the boat and gradually disappear into the smoke, Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other and smiled.  Guan Yu hung the large banner with the character "Liu" on his long sword. He held the sword in one hand and supported Liu Bei on the bow of the boat with the other hand. He ignored the approaching fire behind him The Dragon and Wolf Army soldiers saw a huge banner raised.  The warship went straight down the river, and immediately turned the direction of more than ten trebuchets. The dense fireballs fell sharply like meteors, smashing into the ground.The pillars soared into the sky, and the flames were five feet high.  In the raging fire, Liu Bei's hoarse laughter came out: "In the past, the peach garden was sworn in friendship, and the whole garden was burning. Now we are going through trouble together, and the flames are shining brightly" Suddenly, the flames moved quickly, the shadow of the fire was divided, and a man rushed in, it was Zhang Fei.  Liu Bei and Guan Yu exclaimed in unison: "Third brother" Zhang Fei's back was on fire, and his hair and flesh were sizzling, but he had a naive smile on his face: "I remembered, didn't the three of us brothers swear not to ask for anything?"  We were born in the same year, same month, and same day, but we want to die in the same year, same month, and same day. I can't just walk away like this." Liu Bei and Guan Yu both put their arms around Zhang Fei and looked at each other with a smile: "Okay, that's good!  You and I are brothers, we are brothers, we are the same flesh and blood, how can we be separated? We don¡¯t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. How happy it is to achieve this goal, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!  Guan Ping, who was in the reed marsh, looked at the fire on the river and knelt heavily in the dirty mud.  (To be continued.)
