In the city, the fire was raging, and the smoke billowed into the sky. bubble-book_bar()

The fire was raging, exuding a scorching aura, and tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers were shoulder to shoulder, next to each other, standing motionless in the wide clearing.

It's not that the soldiers don't want to move, but there is no place to move, because there is a raging fire burning around the clearing, and the ferocious fire snakes limit the range of their movement very narrowly, and as the fire burns, waves of heat continue to gush out, and the scorching breath burns the hair on the soldiers' heads to curl.

Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down and disappeared in the blink of an eye when they landed on the ground, and the soldiers' lips began to dry and crack.

However, not a single soldier left.

At this time, in front of the soldiers stood three majestic figures. Li Ru, Fan Chou, and Li Meng Angzang stood like a mountain. The soldiers under his command looked at the figures of the three people and did not mess up, because they believed what Li Ru said. In fact, they could not believe the situation at this time, and rushed out of the city not only to be burned, but also to be killed by the soldiers stationed outside, so the soldiers chose to be patient and waited for the rain to come.

"Xi Yuyu!"

When the soldiers were suffering, the horses also raised their heads and neighed, restless.

Li Meng stood in front of him, his face was bitter, and a trace of remorse flashed on his face.

Although Fan Chou's face was red from the fire, his eyes were bright. He knew Li Ru's ability, and when he saw Li Ru, he didn't panic, and he stayed where he was.

Since he gambled his life, he simply went out to fight.

Besides, in the current situation, there is no other choice than to believe in Li Ru.

"The wind is up, the wind is up!"

In the military formation, the voice that lifted all the soldiers suddenly sounded. A cool breeze blew, and all the soldiers felt refreshed, and suddenly came to their senses, and a smile appeared on their faces. As the soldiers endured the scorching heat and basked in the cool breeze blowing, a sudden thunderclap rang out in the sky.

This thunder gave hope to all the soldiers.

"Tick!"

A drop of rain fell from the sky and landed on the soldier's face, making the soldier feel a little cool.

"It's raining, it's raining!"

With a look of joy on his face, the soldier jerked up his hands and jumped to his feet. As soon as the soldier's voice fell, raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, and the sound of rain rang out, accompanied by rolling thunder. In an instant, a torrential rain fell, and the dense rain fell to the ground, splashing droplets of water on the ground and extinguishing the burning fire.

The rainstorm is coming.

The rain was very heavy, and after a while, Li Ru's body was already drenched in heavy rain, like a chicken in soup. Li Ru looked embarrassed, but he was very happy, he reached out and touched a handful of water stains on his face, and praised him: "The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and this spring rain is too timely." ”

"Whew! Call! ……”

Li Meng let out a long sigh of relief, and the bitter look on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of excitement.

Fan Chou looked at Li Ru with a look of admiration in his eyes.

At the same time, a hint of happiness flashed on Fan Chou's face, fortunately Li Ru became a subordinate, instead of fighting with them for power. Now that Li Ru is here, the certainty of the Xiliang army capturing Chang'an has increased by one point. After the heavy rain, Fan Chou admired Li Ru in his heart, but also was a little afraid.

Its ability is terrifying!

Fan Chou said: "Mr. Li, the rainstorm is coming and the fire is extinguished, what should I do next?" ”

Li Ru glanced around, and could vaguely hear the cheers of the people in the city. He took a deep breath and said, "The whole army is lined up, and immediately go out of the city to pursue Xu Rong." When we first arrived in Xinfeng City, we didn't know where Xu Rong was hiding, but Xu Rong must now lead the troops to be stationed outside the city, and if we chase them out now, we will definitely be able to catch up with Xu Rong. ”

Fan Chou heard this and nodded.

He raised the war knife in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, we are roasted by the fire, and we have endured the scorching heat wave all the time, and now it is raining heavily, and we are finally relieved, this is the Heaven Immortal Xiliang Army!" After holding back your grievances for so long, it's time to vent out, lift your war knives, kill, kill, kill. ”

He roared, turned on his horse, and rode out.

Li Meng also got on his horse and led the soldiers to kill him.

Li Ru rode on his horse and followed behind the soldiers.

He was not only protected by black-clothed warriors, but also by soldiers sent by Fan Chou and Li Meng, which could be described as layers of protection to avoid being affected by the war. He watched the army rush towards the city gate quickly, but his face showed a trace of worry, when Dong Zhuo was alive, he worked with Xu Rong, and knew Xu Rong's ability, he was a very powerful character.

Take tonight as an example, if there is no war, he has the habit of observing the weather and collecting all the news, and tonight he will lead the troops to Xinfeng City, even if he finds something strange in the city, he can only retreat, and dare not enter the city.

Xu Rong is not simple.

At this time, Li Ru's biggest worry was not defeat, but Xu Rong's retreat without a fight. Because Xu Rong retreated, it meant that Li Ru only took an empty city this time and did not achieve any results. Therefore, Li Ru hoped that Xu Rong would lead the army to stay outside the city and wait for Fan Chou and Li Meng to fight to the death.

The army quickly rushed towards the outside of the city, preparing to pursue Xu Rong.

Outside the city gate, Xu Rong brushed the hair scattered on his forehead, and showed a helpless look on his face.

It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

He set up a plan, and even the people in the city did not move, just to annihilate the Xiliang army led by Fan Chou. In the end, however, he gained infamy, but he did not achieve any success.

Xu Rong heard the noisy noise in the city, and heard the rumbling of footsteps, obviously Fan Chou led the army to rush out. Next to Xu Rong, a junior colonel showed a regretful expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "General, let's fight, they are just more people, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Xu Rong shook his head and said, "No, once we are entangled by Fan Chou's army, it will be difficult for us to get rid of them. Retreat, retreat immediately, withdraw to Fan Chou's camp, and join General Duan. ”

The junior colonel asked, "General, in this way, wouldn't we be far away from Chang'an?" ”

Xu Rong took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Xinfeng City has been lost, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." We must join General Duan as soon as possible, and then withdraw in the direction of Chang'an. Chang'an is the final decisive battle, once Fan Chou led the army to approach Chang'an, and we could not stop Fan Chou, the consequences were unimaginable. ”

Xu Rong has followed Dong Zhuo for many years, and it is very clear that Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang with the assistance of Li Ru, and now Li Ru is helping Fan Chou and others, and it is likely that he will capture Chang'an and defeat Lu Bu and Wang Yun.

Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is to meet with Duan Xuan, and then withdraw to Chang'an.

If you can't win a battle, you can only retreat.

"Withdraw!"

Xu Rong gave an order, and the soldiers braved the heavy rain, stepped on the muddy road, and quickly retreated in the direction of Fan Chou's camp. Just as Xu Rong led the troops to retreat, Fan Chou and Li Meng also led the troops to chase after them, speeding up and rushing towards Xu Rong. It's just that although the soldiers under Xu Rong's command are not all elite divisions, they are also forbidden and are easy to dispatch.

The army retreated, extremely fast.

Seeing that Xu Rong led the soldiers to distance himself from Fan Chou, he stopped just after running a short distance.

"Da! Da! ”

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, from afar. I saw a young man and a middle-aged man leading a large army to rush over, blocking Xu Rong's way. These two people, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji, led the troops all the way, and finally arrived when Xu Rong led the troops to retreat, and successfully blocked Xu Rong's way.

When Xu Rong saw Zhang Ji, his heart suddenly struck.

Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji to serve in Dong Zhuo's army and also knew Xu Rong's reputation. When he saw Xu Rong, he grinned coldly and shouted, "Xu Rong, give it to you." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu took a breath and threw out a black head and smashed it towards Xu Rong. Due to the great power of Zhang Xiu's throw, the speed of the head flying out was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of Xu Rong in an instant. Xu Rong didn't have time to react, his head smashed on his chest, and it fell into the mud with a thud.

At this time, a shower comes and goes quickly,

The dark clouds in the sky all dispersed, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, exuding a bright light.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating the scenery on the ground, and although it was a little blurry, it was barely possible to see the general situation. Beside Xu Rong, a junior colonel quickly picked up the head that fell in the mud and looked at it twice, because the flesh and blood on the cheeks of the skull were blurred, and the soldier didn't tell who it was, and his face showed a look of doubt.

Moreover, the soldier did not have enough time to look closely at it, so he did not guess the identity of the head.

Xu Rong took his head and looked at it carefully with his hair in a bun.

The face of the head was trampled to smithereens, only the forehead was still intact, and a pair of eyes were also very prominent, as if they had been stretched out.

"General Duan?"

Xu Rong looked at it for a while, and then exclaimed suddenly.

After Duan Xuan's face was destroyed, it was a little difficult to recognize, but after careful inspection, he still recognized that the head in front of him was Duan Xuan's. He looked up at Zhang Xiu, with a look of surprise on his face, even Duan Xuan was killed, Li Ru and Jia Xu were so calculating! Now, his back road has been cut off, the front road has been blocked, and it is not far from Duan Xuan's fate.

Zhang Ji and Xu Rong knew each other, and they didn't want to watch Xu Rong being killed, so they shouted: "Xu Rong, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you should understand the current situation, there is no way out, immediately dismount and surrender, I will guarantee that you will not die." ”

Xu Rong shouted: "Joke, I, Xu Rong, a dignified seven-foot man, how can I surrender to you, don't think about it!" ”

With a resolute application on his face, he directly rejected Zhang Ji's offer.

He turned out to be a general under Dong Zhuo, and because Dong Zhuo died, he surrendered to Wang Yun with Duan Xuan and became a court official. Because he took refuge in the imperial court, it did not have much impact on Xu Rong's reputation. But now it's different, if he surrenders to the Xiliang Army like a wall grass because he can't resist the Xiliang Army and becomes a traitor, his reputation will be completely ruined.

The ancients re-oathed, promised, and famous.

For a person, fame is very important. You don't see Liu Da'er with the halo of benevolence on his head, no matter where he goes, he is very popular and very popular. The reason for this is, on the one hand, because Liu Daer is a royal relative, and on the other hand, because Liu Daer is benevolent.

He didn't have anything else, but benevolence was passed on as a good talk, so reputation was very important.

Only someone like Lu Bu would kill Ding Yuan first, then Dong Zhuo, and then defect to the imperial court.

However, Lu Bu's situation was miserable. In history, Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and had no way out, and finally went to Yuan Shao, but was suppressed by Yuan Shao and did not accept him at all. In the end, Lu Bu went to Liu Bei and had a place to stay, but that guy took Liu Bei's Xuzhou in a blink of an eye, and he was a typical white-eyed wolf.

Such people, wherever they go, are the object of contempt.

Therefore, Xu Rong had no intention of surrendering in the face of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou's attack.

Seven-foot man, fight to the death!
