Chapter 76 The Second Fire

Before noon, the sun was still high, illuminating the earth warmly, which was a sunny day. But shortly after the Xianbei Iron Cavalry arrived outside Fuping City, a dark cloud suddenly floated over the sky. The sky, which was still clear just now, suddenly became dim, and the sun also hid in the clouds. The sky began to gusts of wind, a bit like it was about to rain.

Not far from the north city gate of Fuping, there is a hill called Lishan. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the situation near the city gate. Military Sima Xu Rong stood there quietly with more than a dozen guards, closely watching the north city gate. Beside him, there was a temporary beacon tower. Although the beacon tower was not very high, it could be clearly seen as long as the fire was lit to keep it in the city. This is also the reason why Xu Rong chose to build the beacon tower here.

"General, the Xianbei has begun to enter the city!" said a guard beside Xu Rong, his voice a little excited and nervous, and his speech was a little stuttering.

"Look at it first!" Xu Rong's thoughts were not placed at the city gate at this time. He looked up at the sky, feeling heavy.

There was only a little dark cloud just now, but now the clouds are getting thicker and thicker, and the wind is getting heavier. Heavy rain is coming. If it rains now, all arrangements will fail. Xu Rong prayed silently in his heart.

"General, the Xianbei people stopped again." A guard said in a little puzzled manner.

Xu Rong, who was thinking, was interrupted by the voice of the soldier. He looked towards the city gate and saw about a thousand Xianbei people entering the city carefully, while the rest of the group of people were still parked outside the city and kept on alert.

"The Xianbei people learned their lessons this time and knew that they would send people to the city to test first. Unfortunately, all this was not as expected by Lord Huangfu. What can you see when you enter the city?" Xu Rong said coldly with a sneer on his face.

"General, it's going to rain, what should we do?"

"Wait! What should we do or what we should do. The plan depends on the heavens!" Xu Rong said lightly. Now we can only compete with each other for a long time. It depends on whether God wants to help these Xianbei people or Han people.

The vulture led a thousand iron cavalry around Fuping City and found no one, and there was no suspicious place. Only then did they confirm that the Han army had really retreated, and their hearts were relieved.

"Import the young marshal quickly that everything is normal in the city. Please feel free to enter the city!" The vulture said to the two personal guards beside him.

"No!" The two agreed and galloped away.

Outside the north gate of Fuping City, the young commander Putou was anxious and uneasy on the horse. The vultures have led a thousand iron cavalry into the city for more than half an hour. There has been no news yet, and there is no movement in the city. They seem to have disappeared out of thin air. The sky is getting darker and the wind is getting tighter, and it will rain heavily. If the city is not safe, you must immediately set up a tent. It is easy to get sick when you are in the rain at this time.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Dingling! A sound of horse hanging bells came, and two cavalry ran out of Fuping City. The two cavalry rushed straight to the young coach Putou horse, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee: "Young Marshal, the villain is ordered by General Qu Shipgu General Vulture. The general asked the villain to tell the young coach that everything is normal in Fuping City. Please be assured to lead the team into the city!"

"Okay! God really helped me!" After saying that, the young commander Putou laughed to the sky, his face was filled with anger, and replaced by a complacent and full of complacency.

"I am the general and the whole army will enter the city!"

At this moment, the young marshal Putou had completely forgotten the fire in Dingxi City. He was imagining how to report the great contribution of occupying Fuping City to his father, the Xianbei, the Western Region, to the Xianbei, who would be rewarded by the father, and to imagine the envious look of his elder brother Heba. The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and the sound of giving orders was astonishingly loud, as if there was a thunderclap in the sky.

Six thousand iron cavalry rolled and waved with flags of various colors, with extremely large momentum. The tall young marshal, with a head, black helmet and black armor, stepped on a black and shiny black horse, and a black iron spear in his hand, and was extremely magical. He was surrounded by thousands of personal guards and entered Fuping City.

"Quick, it's going to rain heavily, everyone run quickly!" Someone in the crowd took the lead and shouted. The Xianbei people who were already eager to enter the city were more like bulls in love, running wildly into the city.

According to the Xianbei people's regulations, they broke the city and robbed people, robbed money, and robbed goods for three days. They would become the soldier's own personal property, in order to inspire the morale of the soldiers. After the Lingzhou City was broken, they rushed to Fuping City directly. This time they occupied Fuping City, of course they had to take back the lost losses.

The Xianbei cavalry soon entered the city. After entering the city, they immediately dispersed and rushed to various buildings in the city to carry out their looting cause.

On the hill, Xu Rong watched all this coldly, with various expressions changing on his slightly dark face. When he saw the last horse entering the city, he waved the spear in his hand fiercely and shouted sternly: "Light!"

As soon as Xu Rong finished speaking, the guards who had been impatiently waiting immediately ignited the beacon on the beacon tower. A wave of wolf smoke drifted with the wind, floating higher and higher, and soon filled the entire hill.

Shortly after the beacon fire rose, thick smoke ignited in Fuping City at the same time. Then there were houses and buildings that began to spit out fire snakes. Fire leveraged the wind, and the wind leveraged the power of fire. The flames quickly grew. The thick smoke covered the sky and the sun. Fuping City quickly became a sea of ​​fire.

A swelling flame belt appeared near the three gates of the North City Gate, the East City Gate, and the West City Gate. These three flame belts were burned from the ground, ranging from ten feet wide to fifty to sixty feet long, tightly sealing the three city gates.

"Retreat!" Xu Rong looked at the fire that had been burned in the city, with a cruel smile on his lips. The secretly hung heart finally dropped. Even if it started raining now, the dry firewood poured with a lot of tinder oil would not be easily extinguished immediately. The Xianbei people all over the city were finished.

Huangfu Jian's fire in Dingxi City blocked the Xianbei cavalry outside Dingxi City for three days. Three days gave Xu Rong and the others plenty of time and more preparation. They dug three trenches that were as long as 60 meters long and ten meters wide near the three city gates, north, east and west. They were filled with dry firewood poured with tinder oil, with a layer of thick wooden boards on it and soil. No one could find it if they were not careful.

They also dug a tunnel not far from the north, east and west city gates, which lead directly to remote places outside the city. As a passage for soldiers to escape after setting fire, their war horses were also pre-installed there and a special person was arranged to pick them up.

Xu Rong's two thousand soldiers and soldiers in the Northern County set off the fire without anyone noticing, and then retreated from the city along the tunnel before the Xianbei people could react. Everything was going quietly.

Five miles outside the south gate of Fuping City, there is a small valley where the 1,700 elite cavalry led by Huangfu Jian and the 50 soldiers of Ju Yi were stationed here.

Huangfu Jian was standing high on the roof of the God of War's car, his eyes were motionless looking at the direction of Fuping City, and his brows were frowning. The clouds in the sky were getting lower and lower, and the wind was getting tighter, and a heavy rain was coming. However, there was no movement in Fuping City, which made him worry. He didn't want to carefully arrange it and finally ruin it in a heavy rain.

"Are you worried about the rain?" Jieyou, who stood beside him, asked softly.

"Yes! This day will not change lately, but it will change at this time. It will rain at any time. I hope it won't rain too early, otherwise our careful arrangement will be ruined after so long." Huangfu Jian looked at the gloomy sky and said helplessly.

"Master, look at Fuping City's movement!" At this moment, Long Shiba, who had always been cold, suddenly said.

This place is five miles away from Fuping City. Although you can't hear the movements in the city, the fireworks coming out of the city can still be seen clearly. Huangfu Jian looked into the city and saw that Fuping City, which was still calm just now, rose thousands of smoke and then a huge fire rose.

"Okay! God has helped me!" Huangfu Jian laughed excitedly, and his worries just now were wiped out. Now the wind in the sky has become the best help for this fire. The fire is getting stronger and stronger with the wind, and can achieve the goal of completely annihilated the Xianbei Iron Cavalry.

"Yan Xing, Pang De led 500 cavalry to seal the south gate of the Suo. Those who dismounted and surrendered were not killed. Those who surrendered were killed without killing them, and those who were the rest were killed without any hesitation!"

"I will obey the order!" Yan Xing, Pang De bowed and received the order, leading five hundred elite cavalry to the south gate of Fuping City.

"'Heizi' Cheng Yi led 300 personal guards, and 200 Shengong tribes were responsible for guarding the prisoners. Anyone who had any abnormal movements would be killed without any slightest!"

"The last general will receive the order!" Cheng Yi went forward to receive the order and led five hundred tribes to whistle away.

"The rest of the generals follow my official account!"

"No!" The rest of them accepted the order in unison, and Ju Yi was among them.

After giving the order, Huangfu Jian led seven hundred personal guards and Ju Yi's fifty county soldiers toward the open area in front of the southern city gate.

"Haha, haha, ha" A burst of arrogant laughter came from the hall of the Lord's Mansion in Fuping City. The young commander of the Xianbei vanguard Putou was sitting proudly in the hall of the Lord's Mansion, laughing loudly. The place where he was sitting was where Huangfu Jian had sat in the morning, with a feeling of pleasure that he had never felt before.

"The young marshal is famous. The Han people fled when they heard the news. They were frightened. They took Fuping City without any effort and made such a wonderful contribution! Young marshal, you have made a face for us, the Great Xianbei people. You are worthy of being the number one warrior of the Great Xianbei!" The vulture standing beside him was in a good mood when he saw Putou, and he also took the opportunity to compliment him.

"Where! Where! General Condor has made an indelible contribution. I will definitely recommend the general in front of my father. The general's future is limitless!" Putou was very helpful when he heard the words of the vulture and praised the vulture a lot.

"Report! The young marshal is not doing well!" At this moment, a guard ran in from outside and exclaimed loudly.

"Bold slave, why are you so panicked?" Putou was in high spirits, and was furious when the guard quarreled.

"Report to the young marshal, there are fires everywhere in the city, and it is almost here to burn." The guard calmed down his breath for a moment and said quickly.

"What did you say? How could this be possible?" The vulture beside him heard it and said to himself, and was shocked and collapsed to the ground. Because he knew that what the guard said was the facts, he had already felt the heat waves rushing towards him. How similar is this to the situation in Dingxi City that day. They once again fell into the Han people's plan, and it was the same plan.

"How is that possible!" The young man Putou began to roar hysterically, and then the roar gradually lowered, like a beast with a wounded head, licking the wound alone, and finally slowly muttering to himself, not knowing what he was saying.

From ecstasy to extreme sorrow, the young marshal Putou was on the verge of collapse.
