Not long after, Sun Qi also arrived at Tangguan.
On the top of the city, Soldier Huan stood there holding a halberd, his palms full of sweat.
Seeing the endless chaos outside the pass, Liang Jun could not see the end of the world. The commander beside him couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said nervously:
"General, general, looking at the number of people, the enemy's army is roughly ten times larger than mine."
"Well, that's about right." Sun Dian nodded in agreement.
"Ten...ten times, General..." The captain couldn't calm down about his stability.
At this time, there was also movement in the city. Qu Ze rode forward and shouted in a loud voice:
"Huan Jun in Tang Pass, listen! I order you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, when the pass is broken, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"
No one answered him.
After Sun Qi observed for a while, he turned around and said as he walked: "The Liang army is about to attack. I will withdraw first. You can command here and hold it as long as you can. If you can't hold it anymore, retreat."
"Ah? General..." The captain didn't know what to say.
After Sun Qi finished speaking, he left. He was a man with ideals and ambitions and wanted to do great things. Unfortunately, his life was short.
Sure enough, after a while, when no one answered, Qu Ze rode back and immediately unsheathed his sword:
"Start the war——"
Following his order, Sergeant Liang howled and began to rush forward crazily.
The ramming vehicles and siege equipment were immediately pushed forward. Amidst the random arrows, ladders were quickly erected throughout the city gates.
Arrows from both sides were shooting back and forth in the sky.
Although Huan's soldiers were guarding the city, as the general left, their morale, needless to say, plummeted to the bottom. There was no desire to fight.
There was not much suspense in this battle at Tangguan. In less than an hour, the Liang army had already attacked the city!
Subsequently, the city gate was also forcibly breached.
Liang's army swarmed in, and Huan's army scattered and fled.
After entering the pass, Qu Ze rode his war horse and couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "This general has long said that our fifty thousand army can easily capture Tangguan with just one pass. Xue Shuai also said that I Arrogant, this is the truth now!"
"Yes, General, the Huan army is like rats. How can they resist when they see my army? It's a pity that they all run faster than rabbits. Otherwise, they would have killed a lot of enemies." The general agreed.
In the eyes of the Liang army generals, Tangguan was indeed like this, and they didn't take it to heart at all.
After taking Tangguan, the Liang army continued to march. After a few miles, a soldier came to report:
"General, we found a village ahead!"
"Okay! Our army has been attacking for days, and the dry food they brought is already insufficient. We just happened to raid this village and give the soldiers a full meal!" Qu Ze was immediately overjoyed.
This is also the consistent combat habit of Liang Jun.
This time, of course, there will be no exception.
Not long after, Liang Jun marched outside the village. Looking from a distance, there was nothing unusual about the entire Niujiazhuang. On the contrary, because it was noon, smoke was still rising from many houses.
There seemed to be a vague aroma of food wafting in.
Seeing this, everyone in Liangjun, including Qu Ze, swallowed subconsciously and felt hungry.
This is exactly the trick to lure the enemy!
But Qu Ze didn't care, and immediately waved his hand: "Enter the village!"
He didn't understand the terrain of Niujiazhuang at all. After leading his army into the village, he thought that the people of Huan Kingdom in the village would panic and become a mess. However, after entering, he found that it was surprisingly quiet and there was not a single person anywhere.
"What's going on?" Qu Ze frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.
Following his words, several soldiers immediately stepped forward, found a house with smoke coming out, and kicked open the door with their legs.
But soon, the soldiers hurried out, came to Qu Ze and said, "General, there is no one in the house!"
"What?" Qu Ze frowned again, couldn't help but get off his horse, and led the generals into the house.
At this time, large numbers of Liang soldiers began to rush into various houses in the village to rummage.
Qu Ze, after entering a private house, was about to take a look around, but suddenly, as if he noticed something, he couldn't help sniffing, then his eyes widened, and he exclaimed:
"not good!"
It was the smell of kerosene. As soon as he finished speaking, on the three sides of the mountain in Niujiazhuang, rows of Huan soldiers had already stood up. All of them had bows and arrows loaded, and there were even more arrows on the arrows. All with fire.
"Fire the arrow!" Sun Qi, who was on a high place, gave the order, causing the flag to waver, and all the soldiers loosened their bow strings.
At that moment, the flaming arrows gathered together in the air, pouring down like fire rain from the sky.
Plop, plop!
Countless rockets, some were nailed to the thatched house, and some were nailed into the windows.
The kerosene ignites immediately upon contact with fire, and when added with thatch, the result can be imagined.
The raging fire spread almost instantly, and the fire took advantage of the wind, like a fire snake, covering the sky and covering the ground, and a heat wave swept across.
It didn't take long at all for the entire Niujiazhuang to be engulfed in a sea of fire. Looking down from a high place, you could see burning people running around in the sea of fire everywhere.
"Oh General! We have fallen into a trap!" At this time, the Liang Army general also protected Qu Ze and ran out of the house in panic. The fire here had also already started.
"Quick! Get out! Get out quickly -" Qu Ze roared.
At this time, there was no need for him to give orders. The Liang army was already in chaos. Everyone was running for their lives in a hurry. I don’t know how many people were in the sea of fire. Their bodies were covered with fire, and they were scurrying around like headless flies. A shrill howl.
Fortunately, there were many guards around Qu Ze. Under their protection, he finally escaped from the sea of fire.
After coming out, the heat wave hit my face, burning my skin and causing pain.
Qu Ze's eyes were filled with fire, and he almost burst into tears. He shouted repeatedly: "Quick! Get back this way!"
As he spoke, he rushed to the entrance of the village first under heavy protection.
But as soon as he arrived at the village entrance, before he could see the situation clearly, he was greeted by a volley of fire.
The entire Niujiazhuang is very large, but it is like a cloth bag. How could Sun Qi not tie the mouth of the bag properly?
Huan's army totaled five thousand. Excluding the soldiers who defended the city and fired rockets, there were three thousand people intercepted here!
After one round of direct shooting, there was another round!
Under such a situation, Liang Jun had no choice but to go through the sea of fire if he wanted to escape from the village. Most of his body was covered with flames. He howled miserably and jumped around, leaving no room for him to fight back.
Everyone's weapons and shields have been thrown away long ago.
Either they were burned to death in the fire, or they were used as living targets.
Arrows shot continuously, and soon, while blocking with his sword, Qu Zeyi was hit by two arrows and staggered back.
"General——" The general supported him, his eyes were also about to burst.
Qu Ze looked in pain and said sadly:
"The arrogant soldiers will be defeated! The arrogant soldiers will be defeated -"
The fire behind him engulfed him.
At this point in the war, there is no longer any suspense.
