【Chapter 056】 Burned to the torch
"Chao'er!"
When Ma Teng saw Ma Chao coming out alone, his eyes turned red almost instantly. Regardless of his injuries, he raised his whip and galloped towards Ma Chao.
"Father!" Ma Chao also got red-eyed and rushed towards Ma Teng. After all, he was just a boy in his teens and almost died in the sea of fire. How could he not be afraid and sad?!
"Just escape, just escape!" Ma Teng took Ma Chao and murmured: "What about Brother Han Sui and the others? How are they doing?"
"Father, they are still trapped on the street. The surroundings are already covered with flames. More than four to five thousand people have died!" Ma Chao answered in a trembling voice, suppressing the fear in his heart.
As for the word death instead of casualties, that's because in Ma Chao's view, no one can survive under such fierce flames!
Ma Teng, on the other hand, did not pursue further and comforted him: "Go back to the tent quickly. I'm here waiting for you, Uncle Han Sui!"
"Yeah!" Ma Chao nodded, glanced at the southwest corner, and headed towards the big tent with red eyes.
...
On the main street of Dayang City, when those Xiliang soldiers saw Ma Chao escaping, they all immediately regretted it. If they had followed Ma Chao and escaped this morning, how could they still be trapped in the sea of fire and unable to enter or exit?
?!
At this moment, Han Sui was also dumbfounded and his hands and feet were trembling. However, what he saw was more of Ma Chao's horror along the way. He almost died several times. If it was him, could he escape?
While he was thinking about it, the boiling flames finally burned not far away from Han Sui. The monstrous fire swallowed up the attics in an instant. The sound of bangs and bangs came one after another, and the stones that filled the sky at first gradually disappeared!
"Boom~~"
Another attic collapsed. In the scorching flames, Han Sui finally made up his mind. If he didn't escape, he might not be able to escape!
"Follow me and break out!" Han Sui roared, and he resolutely rode towards the place where the flames had been extinguished. The horse thumped and hit the ground, and Han Sui let out a long breath and continued to charge towards the entrance of the tower.
Behind him, the surviving Xiliang troops also started to run away one after another! Just as Han Sui thought, if you run away, you may die, but if you don't run away, you will be dead!
With so many people running for their lives together, how could it be possible that no one would die in this sea of fire?
Almost at the same time, bursts of pitiful howls resounded, the pitiful howls almost chilling the bones.
"No, help me!"
"Don't squeeze...ah! Help!"
.....
Li Kan, one of the eight generals, was also mixed in the crowd at this moment, squeezing forward desperately. It is true that running at the front may not necessarily survive, but if you run at the back, you will definitely die!
Liang Xing is dead, Hou Xuan is dead...all of them are almost dead, and Li Kan doesn't want to die!
However, the saying "the less you want to die, the sooner you will die" happened to apply to Li Kan!
Just when he squeezed a little forward, Li Kan felt that his foot was missing and his body fell involuntarily towards the flames on the left.
In the confusion, Li Kan desperately grabbed a general next to him, tightly grabbed the general's clothes, and pulled the general to shake to the west, which immediately caused a burst of restlessness, but Li Kan could no longer control it.
Too much, he just felt that the choking smoke and scorching flames on the left side were coming towards him. The thick smoke made it impossible for him to breathe, and the scorching breath felt like it was burning.
It ruins his body!
"Yang Qiu, help me go up, help me go up, please!"
At this moment, Li Kan recognized that the person he was holding was none other than Yang Qiu, one of the eight generals. He immediately called for help desperately and held Yang Qiu's hand three minutes tighter.
Yang Qiu was also running for his life at this moment, and being suddenly grabbed by his clothes made him extremely angry. At this moment, Li Kan continued to increase his strength, as if he wanted to drag him to death!
Seeing the flames on all sides getting closer and closer, Yang Qiu, who was anxious, could no longer care so much. He glared at Li Kan fiercely, his eyes turned red and he roared: "Get out of here, you idiot!"
With that said, he punched Li Kan directly in the head!
Yang Qiu took action with hatred and punched Li Kan on the head. He staggered and fell down. With a bang, he fell into the flames. In an instant, there was no trace of the burned corpse!
Yang Qiu, on the other hand, cursed a few words angrily and quickly followed the people in front of him.
Han Sui, on the other hand, rushed to the front, dodging left and right. He also vaguely saw the gap in the city wall. He immediately trembled with excitement and almost jumped up immediately. He also breathed a sigh of relief:
"This time, I survived!"
...
While the flames of Dayang City were raging into the sky, a group of hundreds of people quietly arrived at the back tent of the Xiliang Army camp!
In the back tent, there was a small amount of food and grass from the Xiliang army piled up.
The leader's eyes moved around cunningly like a mouse. After a moment, when he saw the patrols passing by, he waved and ordered: "Quickly rush into each big tent, set fire to the tents, and then escape separately!
Do you understand?"
"Understood!" A group of soldiers agreed, and took advantage of the gap between the patrol soldiers to leave and jumped into the surrounding tents.
The leader also jumped into a large tent, looked at the piles of grain and grass, with a trace of helplessness on his lips, and then took out a fire stick from his arms, lit it directly, and threw it on top of the grain and grass.
puff!
A cluster of flames ignited and swept across in a moment. He took another look at the tent and jumped out. After going out, he could already see that after the incident was over, the escaping soldiers began to flee in all directions!
After a while, when the Xiliang sergeants who patrolled to the other end saw the smoke rising into the sky, their expressions changed with shock: "No, there's a fire where the food and grass are! Put out the fire quickly!"
Suddenly, they scattered in all directions!
...
"What, the food and grass were burned?!" Ma Teng's eyes widened and he looked at the soldiers in front of him. He moved his eyes tremblingly and looked in the direction of the camp. The smoke rising into the sky like a long dragon came into his eyes.
!
"Damn! God will destroy our army!" Ma Teng roared, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and the blood rushed directly to the top of his head. His vision went black, and he fell straight to the foot of the horse!
The Xiliang army's food, grass and baggage were already insufficient, and now that they were burned, the army was destined to return in vain!
Han Sui, who had just escaped and ascended to heaven, looked extremely ugly at this moment. After all, the food and grass were burned, and the Xiliang army might not even be able to return to Xiliang!
"Take General Ma Teng back!" Han Sui gritted his teeth and handed Ma Teng over to one of his guards. He took a deep breath and stared at Dayang City: "Could it be that they want to destroy our Xiliang army today?
!”
At this time, Han Sui already regretted that he had provoked such a powerful enemy. Just a general could secretly plot almost every move they made, and plot all the way to death!
...
"Has Ma Chao escaped?" Yan Rou waved her hand with a half-smile on her face: "This boy is not bad at all. He is worthy of what my lord said, and he is a man on horseback who is not inferior to General Zilong!"
"Aren't you a little disappointed?" Mao Jie looked at Yan Rou with wide eyes. He didn't understand that such a big situation, but such an oddity as Ma Chao, was missing. Yan Rou was not disappointed at all. After all, one general is worth a thousand troops.
, this is a great achievement, but there is no reaction?!
"What are you missing? Maybe it's not Ma Chao who escaped!" Yan Rou said calmly, but she looked quietly towards the direction of the main street. Mao Jie looked in the direction of Yan Rou and suddenly looked surprised.
, lost his voice and said:
"You burned down the Xiliang army camp?"
"No! No! No! Why should I burn his camp?" Yan Rou shook her head, stuck out her tongue, licked some lips with bloodthirsty, and said with a smile: "I just burned his food and grass!"
"What?"
Mao Jie almost lost his voice in shock. Destroying his food and grass almost cut off the Xiliang Army's path this time! This guy did not intend to let go of the Xiliang Army in the city, but was preparing to catch them all together with the Xiliang Army outside the city!
