Chapter 923 Zhu Rong’s Divine Power

boom!

The flames, such huge flames, encompassed almost the entire Quanling City, as if the Fire God Zhu Rong was venting his dissatisfaction and releasing his mighty power into the world.

"So hot, so hot!"

"What's going on? Why is there a fire in the city for no reason?"

"Quick, run away!"

Liu Pan, who was sleeping, was also awakened by the noisy sound. He felt the temperature in the air suddenly rise. He couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is going on? Why is it so messy?"

"General, no luck, there's a fire in the city!"

"What?"

Liu Pan was stunned and said hurriedly: "Why don't you quickly order someone to put out the fire?"

"Not only was there a fire, Jiangdong's army also took advantage of the situation to attack and blocked the city gates on all sides. Now the brothers can't get out!"

Liu Pan stood on the spot, stunned for a while, and suddenly realized: This was not a fire at all, but a premeditated arson by Zhou Yu. He wanted to use this fire attack to completely bury himself and tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops in the sea of ​​​​fire. !

"General, general?"

Seeing Liu Pan stunned, the guard asked worriedly.

"hateful!"

Liu Pan gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order all the sergeants in the city to move closer to the governor's mansion, quickly!"

Now that there are fires everywhere in the city, the sergeants in the city will definitely want to run out of the city gate to escape. It is estimated that Zhou Yu will not let go of this opportunity to pursue and intercept, and will definitely intercept and kill the sergeants at the city gate.

At the moment, we absolutely cannot let them become stragglers. This would become a fueling tactic, which would only increase the casualties. At the moment, we can only order the soldiers to gather, and then gather all the strength to attack a city gate, maybe they can get out.

And maybe brother Han Sheng is leading his troops into the city to help him, or maybe he has already started a bloody battle with Jiangdong's army.

"Yes, I will go and deliver the order now!"

The guards suddenly went down to deliver the order, but a fire broke out in the city, and the soldiers immediately became confused. In the face of the fire, individual bravery was completely insignificant. In the Battle of Chibi, even Cao Cao's million-strong army was defeated by Zhou Yu's fire, let alone them.

"The general has ordered the entire army to move closer to the county governor's mansion, hurry up!"

Although the guards yelled desperately, they only gathered more than 800 people in the end, including the personal guards who followed Liu Pan, otherwise it would be even less.

"There are only so many people?" Liu Pan couldn't help but frowned when he saw more than a hundred people gathered in front of him, and said helplessly: "Forget it, follow me to attack and break out toward the west gate, quick!"

Huang Zhong's five thousand troops are stationed outside the west gate. As long as they can rush outside the west gate, they can at least escape safely. It would be an injustice to die here today.

"quick!"

Liu Pan led the 800 people around him and rushed towards the west gate. Many soldiers saw Liu Pan on the way and joined the team halfway, so that the soldiers around Liu Pan finally reached the There were about a thousand people, although it was still not many, but it finally gave Liu Pan some confidence.

The road was full of bodies burned by fire, as well as Jingzhou soldiers screaming and running around. When they rushed outside the east gate, they found that more than 500 people had gathered here.

"what happened?"

Liu Pan casually grabbed the collar of a Jingzhou soldier and asked: "What's going on? Why don't you rush out and wait here to die?"

"No, General, the enemy troops are blocking the city gate outside. As soon as we rush out, the enemy troops will shoot arrows immediately. They have killed dozens of brothers with random arrows just now." The captured Jingzhou soldiers said hurriedly.

"Um?"

Throwing the Jingzhou soldier aside casually, Liu Pan took a look into the city gate. What the soldier said was indeed true. He saw hundreds of charred corpses standing in the city gate, and their bodies were full of arrows. Obviously When they wanted to break out of the siege, they were shot back by enemy arrows. Many people were shot to death directly in the city gate.

Naturally, the remaining people did not dare to act rashly. If they rushed out, they would be shot to death by the enemy. If they stayed here, they might still have a chance of survival. Everyone knew what to choose.

Liu Pan's face was gloomy and uncertain. After thinking for a while, he shouted to the soldiers around him: "Soldiers! Now Jiangdong Army's dog bandits have used a vicious trick and set off a big fire, trapping us in the city. They also ordered archers to ambush outside the door. , you want to put me to death!"

"If you risk your life and rush out now, you might still have a chance of survival. If you can't rush out, you will definitely die today!"

Liu Pan stared at the group of Jingzhou soldiers in front of him and said word by word: "I will personally lead the charge later and be the pioneer for you. If we charge out, we will all fight out of the encirclement together. If we can't fight out, we will fight." We can only die in the sea of ​​fire!"

Although Liu Pan had been in charge of the military affairs in Jingnan in Jingzhou and was quite prestigious among the soldiers in Jingnan, it was impossible for others to die, so Liu Pan had to rush into the battle in person to boost morale.

"The general has planned this for us, how can we not retaliate with death?"

The trusted soldiers beside Liu Pan immediately shouted: "We are willing to protect the general and break out of the siege!"

Seeing Liu Pan's statement, the surrounding soldiers had no choice but to say: "We are also willing to follow the general and break out of the siege!"

"good!"

Liu Pan was fully clothed, put on his helmet, and clenched the sword in his hand, with a murderous look in his eyes. He has been leading troops in battles for many years, and he can be considered proficient in martial arts. However, leading troops into battle has always been dangerous. Fortunately, as a general, he wears iron armor, which gives him an extra layer of safety.

"kill!"

Liu Panhu roared and personally led the team to rush out. Seeing Liu Pan leading by example, the Jingzhou soldiers behind him took up their courage and followed Liu Pan one after another, charging towards the east gate.

"Quan Sima, someone seems to be rushing out!" Jiang Dongjun outside the east gate reported loudly.

"Hmph, you're stubborn, you're just seeking your own death."

Sima Quancong of the Jiangdong Army outside the door sneered, raised his long bow himself, and shouted behind him: "The whole army is ready. As soon as the enemy shows up, shoot them back!"

"Here!"

Thousands of Jiangdong troops have drawn up their long bows. Jiangdong troops have been fighting for years in recent years, so they have suffered heavy losses and a lot of ordnance. However, after capturing the three counties of Jingnan, they have replenished a large part of their ordnance, so everyone in the army has There is no shortage of bows and arrows.

Thousands of Jiangdong troops raised their bows and drew their strings, aiming their arrows at the holes in the city wall.

"Kill!"

After hearing the cry of killing, all the bow strings were tightened, the footsteps became more and more noisy, and Jingzhou soldiers were seen coming out of the holes in the city wall in groups.

"Fire the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Quan Cong shouted loudly and arrows flew out.
