【Chapter 055】 Survival
Outside Dayang City, inside Ma Teng Camp
A scout hurriedly rushed into Ma Teng's tent without even having time to report.
As soon as the scout entered the tent, he knelt on the ground and shouted in a trembling voice: "General, something big has happened!"
At this moment, Ma Teng was lying on his back on the bed. Although he couldn't see the situation in Dayang City, he could hear the screams and his expression was not good. He didn't know what happened. At this moment, he heard the screams of the scouts.
Phew, Huoran turned around:
"What happened? Why is Dayang City howling miserably?"
The scout looked panicked and said in a trembling voice: "General Han Sui and his men were ambushed by the enemy after they entered the city. They were trapped in the city by the fire. I am afraid that the entire army will be destroyed in Dayang City!"
Ma Teng looked startled, lifted up the quilt, stood up unsteadily, and shouted at the scout: "How could Han Sui be so stupid that the enemy used fire to attack all 15,000 people?"
In the city?! Damn it! Damn it!”
You know, although Ma Chao is not his favorite heir, he is actually the most capable heir. If he died here...
When he thought of this, Ma Teng could no longer care about his anger and shouted at the scout: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you invite Yan Zhong here!"
After saying this, Ma Teng seemed to have remembered something and said again: "Let Feng Ji, who escaped from Wugong City, come over quickly!"
"This... villain will go right away!" The scout tremblingly raised his tent and walked directly towards the big tent where Yan Zhong was. It was a first-come, first-served basis. Since Yan Zhong was mentioned first, he should inform him first.
Yan Zhong
...
After a while, the shouts of killing in the city became louder and louder. Yan Zhong and Feng Ji arrived belatedly. When they saw Ma Teng, they almost asked in unison: "I don't know, why did the general summon me?"
"Have you ever heard any noise in the city?!"
"Of course I heard it!" The two of them nodded in unison, and when they saw Ma Teng's expression as though his parents were dead, they immediately said, "Could it be that it's not General Han Sui who is leading the troops to kill Wu Zhaohou's army, but Wu Zhaohou's?"
..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Teng had already nodded, and said with a hint of oldness and weakness in his voice: "Everyone, my brother and my son are all in Dayang City. Now Dayang City is besieged by fire. If we can't save them."
If they are rescued, they will die in the sea of fire. I hope you two can find a way to rescue them!"
Ma Teng was helpless at this moment. No matter how fierce his Xiliang army was, he couldn't step through the sea of fire and save people?
Yan Zhong and Feng Ji also looked extremely ugly. Dayang City was surrounded by flames. Looking at the billowing smoke, you could tell how powerful the fire was inside!
Han Sui and others have not come out, and they obviously can't think of a way to come out. Although they are known as think tanks, they are not the ones who can make rain with pen. This is really embarrassing...
Seeing the embarrassed looks on Yan Zhong's and his two men's faces, Ma Teng went limp and almost fell to the ground again. Although he did not fall, his face became three points paler. He held on to the bed and murmured:
"That's all, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven, maybe, this is their destiny!"
That being said, who can deal with this kind of thing calmly?
But at this moment, Feng Ji's eyes lit up, he put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "General, I have a plan. If it works, I might be able to save the young master!"
"Sir, please tell me quickly!" Ma Teng looked shocked when he heard this. He stood up, jumped in front of Feng Ji, and held Feng Ji's hand firmly.
When Feng Ji saw Ma Teng's appearance, a smile appeared on his face. Maybe this time, Ma Teng would truly form an alliance with his lord. Thinking about it, Feng Ji had already said:
"According to what I said below, the ferocity of the flames is simply that it is difficult to stop. If the general can use catapults to blast a large number of city towers and even the houses in the city, knocking down these buildings, the ground will definitely be covered, and there will be no burning objects.
The flames will disappear naturally. Even if they cannot extinguish the fire in the whole city, they can still allow Young Master Ling and others to avoid this disaster!"
"Wonderful! How wonderful!" As soon as Feng Ji finished speaking, Yan Zhong immediately clapped his hands and praised, his expression full of excitement.
Ma Teng, after thinking about it for a while, felt that this was very possible. He couldn't help but rushed outside with a joyful expression and ordered: "Quickly mobilize the catapults and prepare to bombard Dayang City!"
...
Outside the west gate, Yan Rou still reined in his horse and stopped, not to mention Mao Jie and others opposite.
A moment later, a soldier hurriedly bypassed Dayang City and came to the west gate. When he saw Yan Rou, he immediately reported: "General, Ma Teng has made a move!"
Yan Rou glanced at Mao Jie, then looked at the soldier and said with a smile: "Details!"
"Ma Teng mobilized all the catapults and gathered outside the main gate of Dayang City. The villain thinks that he is going to start bombarding Dayang City!" The soldier looked heavy and analyzed with his fists clasped.
"You saw well!" Yan Rou praised, waved her hand and said, "Go down first and continue to pay attention to Ma Teng!"
"I obey, little man!" the soldier promised and turned around to leave.
After the soldier left, Yan Rou looked at Mao Jie and said with a half-smile, "It seems that Ma Teng is quite wise?!"
When Mao Jie heard this, he trembled slightly, with a look of fear on his face. Ma Teng's action was obviously to relieve the danger of the fire, but Yan Rou didn't move at all. Could it be that he had a trick up his sleeve?
Not successful?
...
Outside Dayang City, an array of catapults is at the southwest corner of Dayang City.
Although Dayang City Wall is not high, it is definitely not short either. To drive stones from outside Dayang City, the only possibility is to start from the already damaged city wall, because almost half of the catapults are piled here.
Ma Teng sat on the horse full of hope, looking at the main street of Dayang City that was burning with raging fire, and said silently in his heart: "Chao'er, you have to hold on!"
"Start casting!"
Ma Teng's expression changed and he ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of crunching could be heard immediately, and the catapults suddenly shot out the stones in the wooden baskets, with the sound of hunting through the air, and smashed into the main street of Dayang City.
Bang bang bang!
Stones hit the ground one after another, causing sparks to fly and fire waves to burst out, shaking the earth and the earth. Some wooden houses even fell to the street with a creaking sound, instantly stopping the flames.
Diffuse!
Seeing the scene of tens of thousands of stones being thrown at each other, Ma Chao and others were in tears. They took action, Ma Teng took action! At least, they were not abandoned!
Seeing those houses falling down and extinguishing the flames for a while, his expression was full of hope. If he could seize the opportunity and rush out of the street while the flames were extinguished,
Isn't there a way out?
"Walk!"
Ma Chao made a decision almost instantly. With a dozen war horses, he jumped up, stepped directly on a collapsed house, and staggered towards another collapsed room.
Within a few leaps, he had already jumped into the raging fire. There were fires on three sides. The only way to survive was the constant bombardment in front of him. Ma Chao shook his body with dizzy eyes, while avoiding the big rocks falling from the sky.
, while dodging the flames shooting up into the sky everywhere!
A moment later, Ma Chao, who had a beautiful face and a jade-like face, now had a dark look on his face.
But Ma Chao felt unknown, because he had already seen the gap in the city tower, which was only a few dozen steps away. He could escape and ascend to the sky with a single jump. Ma Chao, who had always been calm, had tears in his eyes at this moment!
"boom!"
A stone crashed down beside Ma Chao. Ma Chao was so frightened that he almost fell directly into the sea of fire. As soon as he calmed down, Ma Chao immediately slapped his horse and roared: "Hurry up!"
As if the war horse felt Ma Chao's eagerness, it roared loudly, raised its long hooves, and leapt out, taking dozens of steps at a time, several steps in a row, and the gap was within reach!
At this moment, a burning sensation came overwhelmingly.
Ma Chao clearly saw the flames that almost filled the sky to his left and right, just one step away from burning him. At this moment, the war horse couldn't react at all. Almost subconsciously, Ma Chao roared loudly, kicked the horse's back with red eyes, and leaped forward.
