Zhangye City, county government.

Although it was not yet clear, Luo Cheng had already gotten up early, put on his clothes and began to preside over military affairs in the county hall.

A large amount of military funds were accumulated inside and outside the lobby, which were all materials left by the Qin army. All this shows how Cao Cao retreated hastily at that time.

Luo Cheng just captured Zhangye City yesterday afternoon and has been busy setting up camps and setting up posts to guard the county government, and has not paid much attention to these things.

He remembered that at the latest tonight, the emperor's pottery merchant would lead a large army to Zhangye, and would definitely move into the county government. It would be not good to be so chaotic, so he got up early in the morning and thought about cleaning up.

"Have all the lost documents neatly packed up, and your Majesty may observe it." Luo Cheng said in command.

The soldiers on both sides opened their sleepy eyes and started to get busy, carrying piles of book scripts around.

Suddenly, a soldier outside the courtyard exclaimed: "Look, it seems that there is a fire outside."

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers outside stopped and looked outwards. They were all surprised and pointed for a moment, and they started to discuss.

Luo Cheng's brows froze, walked out of the lobby a few steps, looked up to the north, and indeed saw a faint flame rising into the sky.

"How could it be so accidentally that it caught fire..." Luo Cheng murmured and complained.

In his opinion, although the sudden fire was a little surprised, some unruly soldiers must have found some wine and meat in the house, and made fire and ate and drank water.

The military discipline of the Wei army was originally very strict, and the Tao merchant strictly prohibited his subordinates from disturbing the people. However, when Luo Cheng seized Zhangye, the people in the city had already fled with the Qin army. The city was deserted and the building was empty, and there was no one.

Since the city was empty, Luo Cheng saved trouble, so he allowed the soldiers to make the houses and make it easier for the rest and rest.

Those people naturally have to take away their property when they flee, but there will inevitably be some exposure, especially for those rich families. It is normal for a few cattle and sheep to take away. After being plundered by the soldiers, they quietly set fire and roasted it and ate it.

Luo Cheng subconsciously believed that this fire was the soldiers who were slandering, who accidentally knocked over the fire, causing a big fire, and extinguished it, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.

"Look, the south is on fire, too."

"There was also a fire in the south, but also on the west."

"What's going on? There are fire everywhere, as if the whole city is burning!"

Just as Luo Cheng was about to go back to the house, the soldiers behind him suddenly started screaming again, and panic screams came one after another, and they were heard.

Luo Cheng's body shook, and suddenly looked up and swept around. Sure enough, the fire was rising from all directions, as if in a blink of an eye, the entire Zhangye City had caught fire everywhere.

"The strangeness of this fire is definitely not unusual!" Luo Cheng was shocked, and he slashed a few steps and jumped onto the roof.

Looking around, Luo Cheng gasped.

There was more than one fire. Looking around, I saw that there were fires everywhere in Zhangye City. Dozens of houses were rising up, and the fire spread rapidly, and soon burned half of the city.

"Kill Wei Dog"

"Kill Wei Dog"

Amid the crackling sound of fire, there were even more killing sounds, as if an enemy soldier with thousands of troops suddenly descended from the sky and rushed into Zhangye City.

"What's going on? How did the Qin army sneak into the city? How could it ignite most of the city in a blink of an eye? What's going on?" Luo Chengyu's face changed in shock and blurted out.

The cruel facts can no longer tolerate Luo Cheng's surprise.

Many soldiers of the Wei army lived in the houses. When the fire broke out, many people had no time to escape and were burned to death in the room. The tragic screams echoed in the night sky.

The surviving soldiers were frightened and panicked. They finally escaped from the fire. They heard the sound of Qin soldiers killing everywhere in the city. They thought that the Qin army took the opportunity to attack, and their fighting spirit collapsed immediately. They did not have orders, so they opened the city gates and fled out from all directions.

Luo Cheng rode his horse to the street, scolding the soldiers for not panic, and immediately put out the fire and fleeing, but he could not suppress the collapsed morale of the army, and even killing several soldiers in person was useless.

"General, the whole city is about to burn. It's time to save it. Let's evacuate the city quickly." The deputy general beside him cried.

Luo Cheng's face was as gloomy as iron. Looking around, he saw that the entire city had been almost swallowed by the sea of ​​fire, and even the county government was located was burning by the fire.

When he reached a point, even if he suppressed the morale of the army, he could not resist the power of nature and forced the fire to extinguish the fire. In the end, he could only be burned into white by the raging fire with Zhangye City.

Luo Cheng looked unwilling, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and shouted hatefully: "I'm sending the order to the entire army not to panic, retreat from each gate and gather outside the South Gate City to prevent the Qin army from taking advantage of the situation to attack."

When the order was issued, Luo Cheng didn't care much and strode his horse and ran away in a hurry as he looked south.

...

Outside the south gate.

In the poplar forest, thousands of Qin soldiers who had been ambushing for a long time looked at the sudden fire of Zhangye City, and were stunned. Under the light of the fire, their faces were filled with murderous intent.

Jiang Wei also smiled, and a young man's proud smile appeared on his young face.

Xiahou Yuan next to him looked at the raging fire from afar, and a deep shock appeared on Jie Ao's face, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

After a while, Xiahou Yuan came to his senses and looked at Jiang Wei with a little bit of admiration. He nodded and exclaimed: "Jiang Boyue, Your Majesty is indeed not wrong. You are really a talented person. You actually thought of this plan to pre-diggle tunnels and burn Zhangye."

This is Jiang Wei's plan.

As early as half a month ago, he expected Cao Cao to be defeated and the Tao Shang would pursue him relentlessly. The war would sooner or later come to Zhangye City where he was.

Therefore, he forced himself to recruit houses in the city in advance, dug several authentic tunnels to lead directly outside the city, and under the roofs and walls of the city, flammable objects such as sulfur, saltpeter and tincture oil were hidden.

After everything was ready, he offered a plan to let Cao Cao abandon Zhangye City, leaving a lot of military resources in the city, creating the illusion of abandoning the city in a hurry.

In this way, Luo Chengru occupied Zhangye without any warning, but Cao Cao had already hidden a elite army of thousands of people. He led by Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei, ambushed deep in the poplar forest outside the city, and waited for the entire Wei army to enter the city, and sent troops to sneak into the city from the tunnel and set fire to the city, which scared the Wei army's morale collapse and left the city in a hurry.

Then, they were ambushing outside the city and could give the escaped Wei army a fatal blow.

Now, the fire has risen and the city gate is open. The Wei army is also fleeing in panic and panic. Everything is as expected by Jiang Wei.

Even though Xiahou Yuan had some contempt for Jiang Weicun before, he couldn't help but give Jiang Wei a thumbs up.

"General Xiahou has been awarded too much." Jiang Wei smiled faintly, pointed the gun in front of him, and said murderously: "The time has come, it's time for us to show up."

Xiahou Yuan shook his sword and the anger of revenge in his eyes ignited wildly. He gritted his teeth and said, "How many battles have you lost? Tonight, I can finally kill you so hard. I will sound the horn for me, and the whole army will be out, and all Wei Gou will be killed!"

Woo woo woo woo

The order was passed down, and the sound of stern horns in the poplar forest soared into the sky, terrifying all the birds in the forest.

Xiahou Yuan ran out wildly, and thousands of Qin soldiers behind him all rushed out of the forest with the rage of revenge. Like ghost soldiers suddenly appeared in the dark, they rushed towards Zhangye City, which was on fire, and rushed to the Wei soldiers who fled in a hurry.

"Today, it is when I, Jiang Wei, became famous in the battle. The Emperor of the Great Wei, thank you for being my stepping stone, haha." Jiang Wei said a cheerful and proud voice and also rode out on his horse and spear.

Thousands of elite Qin soldiers rushed out in a swarm, and in a blink of an eye they ran into the fleeing Wei soldiers, and they raised their swords and killed them in a row.

Although the Wei army had a large number, its fighting spirit had been disintegrated by the fire. It was so easy to escape in such a hurry that it finally took a breath. When the shock was settled, the Qin army suddenly came to the sky like a divine weapon.

In an instant, the Wei army was hit hard again and could not raise the desire to fight back at all, so they fled in scattered places.

The Qin army took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing and suppressed the Wei army. In a moment, the blood flowed into a river, and the Wei army suffered thousands of casualties.

In the chaos army, Luo Cheng's sword eyebrows were already deep, and his jade face was full of anger, and he cursed: "Damn it, it's really Cao Cao's trick. How can I destroy my reputation here!"

Unwilling to give up, Luo Cheng slammed wildly, and killed the Qin soldiers on horseback one after another, scolding the soldiers and fighting back.

However, the morale of the army was broken, the soldiers were only concerned about escaping, and the command system had completely failed. Except for some elite personal troops, no one listened to his orders.

Seeing that his army fled in panic, they were cut down to the ground one by one, and seeing that the Qin army showed their power and killed wildly, Luo Cheng was furious, but he could not save the defeat by his own strength.

"Luo Cheng Dog Thief, Jiang Wei is here, come here!"

In the chaos army, there was a sudden roar of arrogant roar, and the destruction of the chaos army was no one to stop it, and it flew towards it like a whirlwind.

Luo Cheng looked back suddenly, but saw a young Qin general who was younger than him, who also used a silver spear to shoot wildly in a blink of an eye and came straight to him.

"What nameless dog thief dares to be rampant in front of me, Luo Cheng. I want your dog's life." Luo Cheng, who was burning in anger, shouted loudly and shot out the silver spear in his hand.

Two sharp guns, two equally young figures, collided in an instant.

clang!

Mars splashed, and a loud roar of steel broke out in the night sky.

The shock wave caused by the impact forced a circular groove within a radius of three meters.

When he passed by, Luo Cheng's face suddenly passed by a hint of surprise, thinking to himself: "This Jiang Wei, martial arts is also at its peak, not much like me. When did such a person appear in the Qin army?"

Luo Cheng was surprised, Jiang Wei, who passed by, was also shocked.

Although he was not a famous general of Qin, he was extremely confident in how strong his martial arts were. He had long heard that there was a general named Luo Cheng in Wei. He was also young and good at using a silver spear. He was very similar in age and spear skills.

Luo Cheng is already famous, but Jiang Wei still borrowed an unknown Liangzhou minor official. Today, he faced Luo Cheng, so of course he wanted to take Luo Cheng down and make a name for himself in the world while he stepped on Luo Cheng's corpse.

With one move, the confident Jiang Wei suddenly realized that Luo Cheng's name was not a false reputation. This martial art alone was actually more powerful than him.

Jiang Wei's self-confidence suddenly suffered a setback.

Stimulated by ambition, Jiang Wei suddenly let out a low roar, turned around and attacked again.

Luo Cheng was surprised for a moment, and then his arrogance and ambition were aroused. He shot out the silver spear in his hand and faced him head-on.

Two young and top generals and two silver guns fought in a group in a blink of an eye.

In the night, there were thousands of streaming lights and guns dancing like a flood, and the splashing sparks were like flames of fire, dazzlingly covering the fire in Zhangye City.

The roar of the battle guns hit people's eardrums, and the expansion of shock waves forced the soldiers of the two armies to retreat step by step, fearing and daring to approach.

Luo Cheng's military power is several points higher than Jiang Wei, but if he wants to win, it will not be able to do it within a few hundred moves. Just when he was in a fierce battle, the soldiers on both sides were killed by the Qin army's ambush. The failed battle stirred Luo Cheng's mood and gradually frustrated his confidence.

At this moment, Xiahou Yuan came to kill his horse and dance not far away, with bloodshot eyes covered with murderous intent, and he roared: "Luo Cheng, you lackey of the pottery thief, I, Xiahou Yuan, will kill you today and give you a sigh of anger for my dead brother."

Luo Cheng's face changed immediately. Jiang Wei was fighting in front of him. He didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to come again, so he was the opponent!

Is it a fight or a retreat?
