Chapter 596: Burning Takayanagi (2)

There were fires all over the city, black smoke billowing up, and Kebi Neng didn't know why these fires could not be extinguished, even on earth and stone. But he knew that all this must be a trick of the Han people. He was resentful in his heart, the Han people were cunning, and they didn't dare to fight with the Xianbei warriors, but they only knew how to play conspiracy. This time I went back, and I must learn this lesson.

It's just, can he still go back?

The four cities were on fire, and there were a lot of igniters in the city, and the north wind was strong at this time. The fire took advantage of the wind, and in a short time it had spread to the whole city. Many Xianbei people have not even come out of their houses before they are engulfed in the relentless fire. The power of fire can make people smell and change even in later generations. Not to mention this time.

Nearly 50,000 Xianbei, except for 10,000 horsemen who remained outside the city to guard, everyone else entered the city. Kebineng was not a fool, so he still put a group of men and horses outside the city to prevent the Han army from coming back and besieging the Xianbei people to death in the city. It's just that he didn't expect that the Han army did not come to besiege the city, but left a big trap in the city.

In this era of illiteracy, many Han Chinese could not help but be amazed when they saw fire that could still burn in the water and soil for the first time. Not to mention the uncivilized Hu people. Their hearts had collapsed, and this inexplicable thing, they had to push it to their gods. It was the gods punishing them. The gods are dissatisfied with them and will abandon them. In that moment, many brave and good Xianbei warriors even gave up the idea of escaping. The blow of faith and the collapse of the psyche are no less than the destruction of the body. Others even chanted the ancient witch prayers of the steppes and threw themselves into the fire, just so that the gods could forgive their people.

This will be beyond the control of Kobineng. No matter how loudly he yelled and cursed, the Xianbei forces had collapsed. Some of them followed behind Kebineng, and some of them followed behind the leaders, nobles, and generals, and rushed towards the city gate. More Xianbei people, but they just followed their instincts, screaming and running around, and then being swallowed by the flames one by one.

The Xianbei people outside the city reacted quickly, and when they saw the fire in the city, they immediately discovered the abnormality in the city, so they led the cavalry to the city gate, wanting to enter the city to save their Great Khan Kebineng. It's a pity that they guessed the enemy wrong. They thought that there were most Han troops in the city, but in fact they didn't, Hu Guang's department was only responsible for setting fires, and then occupying the four cities to prevent the Xianbei people from fleeing. So more than 10,000 cavalry rumbled into the city, but Hu Guang did not stop them, and watched them enter the city to rush to death at the head of the city. If Kebi can do it, he will definitely scold these Xianbei cavalry for being pig's heads. Lack of success, more than failure. After the 10,000 cavalry entered the city, they were also stunned, and it took a while to react. Just as he was about to turn around and run, there was also a team in front of him, which was Kebineng.

When Kebi saw that people from outside the city had also come in, he couldn't help but be furious: "What are you doing here? ”

The general who commanded the ten thousand cavalry saw that Kebi could be fine, and his heart was relieved, so he replied: "I waited outside the city to see the fire in the city, thinking that Shan Yu was in the middle of the ambush, and I came to save him." ”

Kebi could hear this, and a strange expression appeared on his face, he really didn't know whether to scold or how, after all, his subordinates were loyal to him. I could only take a breath and said: "I'm fine, the Han army in the city set fire to the city, and I can retreat quickly." So he led his men on a gallop to the gates.

Before the Han army in the city was divided into three parts, one east and one west, each with more than a thousand cavalry, they galloped for a while, then stopped, looked at the hundreds of Xianbei cavalry far behind them, and thought, just see how long you want to follow. The Xianbei cavalry remembered their orders, but followed from a distance and did not step forward. If a Han rider came to drive them away, they avoided them far away. After following for a long time, I turned a hill, but found that in front of me, there was a black press, and it was all Han troops. The Xianbei cavalry couldn't help but be surprised, how could there be so many Han troops here, it was not good, and they had to report back to Shan Yu as soon as possible. So he turned the horse's head, still returned to Gaoyanagi, and went to find Kebi to report the news. The Han army didn't bother to chase after it.

The two ambush soldiers were none other than Zhang Yan and Zhang He. After the "failure to come to help", they did not retreat too far, but just left the sentinel range of the Xianbei people and then lurked. Youzhou is already Liu Bei's territory, and it is not easy to hide two armies near Gaoliu. The follow-up task that Zhang Yan and Zhang He received was to march towards Gaoliu together after Gao Yanagi's Han cavalry came. If you see a fire in Takayanagi City, you will go outside together and surround Takayanagi. It is necessary to annihilate the Xianbei people who escaped from the city.

Zhang Yan and Zhang He respectively saw the Han cavalry withdrawn from Gaoliu City, so they raised their troops and rushed towards Gaoliu, and before they reached Gaoliu, they saw the black and red smoke clouds rising into the sky in front of them. Now they knew that the Xianbei people had been ambushed, so they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and one by one they hurried up and rushed to Gaoliu, which was a good opportunity to beat the water dogs, and they couldn't miss it.

The hundreds of Xianbei cavalry who rushed back to report the news before couldn't help but be stupid when they arrived at Gaoliu City. What's going on, why did it suddenly become like this? After wandering for a while, these hundreds of Xianbei cavalry did not dare to step forward after all, so they turned south and reported to the Xianbei troops who were pursuing Liu Bei in the south.

When Zhang Yan and Zhang He rushed to Gaoliu, Kebineng also rushed to the city gate. At the same time, he also saw the head of the city, with a cold face Hu Guang. He knew that Hu Guang dared to appear in the city, but he was afraid that this place would not be so easy to break out. But in order to survive, I can't care so much. So with an order, the Xianbei people divided into three roads, two of which galloped along the horse road to the head of the city, wanting to break Hu Guang, and the other rushed to the city gate.

Hu Guang at the head of the city sneered, waved the command flag in his hand, and the rockets appeared, and when they landed, the city gate was also burning. Kebineng found out that here at the city gate, the Han army had already dug a big pit, which was full of fire-causing things. At this time, the flames were blazing, the smoke was billowing, the air was scorching, and even breathing was a little difficult.

Kebi Neng knew in his heart that since he was prepared here, he was afraid that the other three places were also prepared. Kebineng hated and was angry, Liu Bei was so vicious that he wanted to burn all his tens of thousands of people to death. It's too vicious.

Kebi knew that he could not stay here for long, so he drove the knights to attack the city, wanting to go down the city; At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to contribute their horses, and wanted to drive them to the city gate to fill the fire pit. People are afraid of fire, and horses are afraid of it. The horse neighed sadly, and only circled around the knight, but refused to take a step. In a fit of rage, he stabbed the horses with their blades, and the horses were wounded, and the men rose to their feet, and scattered in all directions, except for some who rushed to the gates, but the others ran away without a trace in an instant.
