Chapter 878: Desperate Fire

"The minister is here." Hu Che'er jumped forward.

Su Zhe's horsewhip pointed in the direction of the north, and said sharply: "I order you to go to the ferry as quickly as possible, and burn the ferry to me!" ”

Hu Che'er was stunned, looked at Su Zhe blankly, and didn't react for a while.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to burn the ferry, there are still hundreds of thousands of grains and grass there." Xu Chu reminded

Su Zhe said: "I don't have time to tell you in detail, as long as you know that Fa Zheng wants to break through from the north and rob our grain ship to escape, how can I do what he wants." ”

Xu Chu's body was shocked, but his eyes were still puzzled, and he couldn't guess how their son of heaven judged that Fa was about to break through from the north gate.

"Hu Che'er, what are you still doing in a daze, get moving!" Su Zhe shouted.

Hu Che'er reacted at this time, and didn't dare to hesitate anymore, he ran away, and in an instant a black shadow disappeared into the chaos.

Su Zhe then shouted: "Quickly send an order to Huang Hansheng, telling him not to kill these people anymore, and to capture them all alive." ”

Since he had learned that these "Han troops" who broke through were disguised by the common people, there was naturally no need to kill them.

The order was handed down, Su Zhe did not stay in the south camp any longer, rode his horse and galloped, and went straight to the north camp.

When he arrived at the north camp, the battle had just ended, and he saw a bloody road stretching from the south of the camp all the way to the north.

Obviously, the defenders of the northern camp were taken by surprise, and the Han army had broken through the camp and broken out of the encirclement.

Su Zhe did not stop, and immediately gathered the army that rushed to the north and chased away.

Three miles south of the ferry.

On the northbound avenue, Huo Jun and Fa Zheng were leading less than 5,000 Han troops, hurrying north.

Of the 10,000 troops, less than half are now left, and most of them are wounded, and they are on the verge of collapse.

Fa Zheng was still secretly glad that under this predicament, even if he could bring out 5,000 people alive, it would be a great success for him.

The Wei camp had broken through, and the Wei army at Dutou was even more vulnerable, and he almost saw the hope of escaping and ascending to heaven.

"Zhuge Kongming's wisdom, sure enough, is above me, I am still inferior to him after all......"

Fa Zheng secretly sighed, and admired Zhuge Liang even more sincerely.

The sun rises in the east, and the morning glow illuminates the way ahead.

Fa Zheng's thoughts returned to reality, and he stared into the distance, only to see that the outline of the Wei camp in the ferry was already faintly visible.

He could even hear the sound of the rolling Yellow River and see the faint shadow of the sail moving.

Looking back to the south, the Wei army's pursuers were still some distance away, enough for him to take the ferry by surprise, grab the grain ship, and flee into the Yellow River.

Hope should be in front of you!

The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth swept up with a smile of relief, and he shouted: "The soldiers of the Han Dynasty, see it, the ferry is only one step away from us, with a little more effort, we can go home!" ”

The remnants of the defeated generals also showed excitement and joy on their faces, regardless of the fatigue of the bloody battle, and continued to run wildly.

Ahead, Wei Ying.

On the shore, Li Yan was urging the soldiers to unload bags of grain and grass from the transport ship and carry them to the granary on the shore.

As one of Su Zhe's most trusted "old ministers", in this battle against the Han Dynasty, although Li Yan did not have the opportunity to kill the enemy, he was entrusted with the important task of supervising the transportation of grain and grass.

Grain and grass are the foundation of the army, and running grain and grass well is a greater merit than killing the enemy and attacking cities and plundering land, and Li Yan knows this very well.

He also knew that Su Zhe asked him to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, which was a great trust in him, so he didn't dare to be sloppy.

This time, he personally escorted more than a ship of grain and grass from Luoyang along the Yellow River to the west of Shaanxi County.

Looking at the mountains of grain and grass on the shore, Li Yan smiled slightly, and his face showed a hint of relief and relief.

"Quick, make all the money sharper, and move the grain and grass off the boat." He shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind whistled, and a tower-like figure lay in front of him.

"General Li, Your Majesty has ...... There is an order...... Call you ......" Hu Che'er held his knees with his hands, gasping for breath, and couldn't even speak clearly.

"I said Che'er, what are you doing in such a hurry, you have something to say slowly." Li Yan patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

Hu Che'er took a few deep breaths and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has an order, telling you to burn the entire ferry quickly!" ”

"What?" Li Yan was taken aback, and his face immediately changed: "It's so dignified, why do you want to burn the ferry?" There are still hundreds of thousands of grains and grasses here. ”

Hu Che'er pointed to the outside of the camp and said: "The enemy in Shaanxi County has broken out and wants to rob your ferry boat and escape, I don't have time to explain to you, you should set fire to it quickly!" ”

The enemy of Shaanxi County broke through?

Still want to rob the ship?

Li Yan's body shook, his thoughts were racing, and he hadn't turned a corner for a while.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and shouted, "General Li, there is dust and fog outside the camp, and it seems that soldiers and horses are coming towards us!" ”

Li Yan's face changed.

Hu Che'er was even more anxious, and shouted: "General Li, what are you still doing in a daze, this is Your Majesty's will, you don't set fire to it, if you let the enemy escape, can you afford this responsibility!" ”

Li Yan's body was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly came to his senses, and shouted: "Send the order, immediately set fire to me the grain and grass, set the transport ship on fire, and set fire to the entire ferry for me." ”

When the order was handed down, the Wei soldiers, who did not know the truth, were suspicious in their hearts, but they could only act according to the order and quickly set fire to the ship.

In the blink of an eye, the granaries were ignited, and the warships full of grain and grass were ignited, and the entire ferry turned into a raging sea of fire in an instant.

Li Yan led a ferry army of less than 2,000 people to carry grain, lined up outside the burning camp, and put on a posture of intending to fight to the death.

Directly ahead, the Han army commanded by Huo Junfa had rushed to the front of the ferry.

What awaits them is doom.

Looking at the ferry, which suddenly caught fire, the Han army was stunned and discolored, and was at a loss.

Fa Zheng's face changed even more, and he exclaimed: "How is this possible? The Wei army at the ferry should not know that we broke through the siege, how could they decisively set fire to the camp so quickly? ”

"Captain Fatai, what should we do?" Huo Jun was also completely panicked, and his voice was hoarse and deformed.

Fa Zheng suddenly sobered up, pointed to the ferry, which was on fire, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, rush in immediately, and if you can grab a few boats, you can grab a few boats!" ”

Huo Jun woke up in shock, waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, rush with me, you must save the boat!" ”

Huo Jun rode his horse up, led a group of Han troops who were crazy to the extreme, and rushed towards the Wei army that was lined up in the camp.

Suddenly, the Han army rushed up.

The sound of killing shook the sky, the screams were endless, and the 5,000 Han army and the 2,000 Wei army fought together.

The Han army was superior in numbers, and it was fought with the will to survive and killed, and it burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and in a blink of an eye, the Wei army was scattered and collapsed.

Huo Jun led the men and horses, desperately rushed into the burning ferry, and went straight to the river beach, trying to grab the transport ship that had not yet been ignited.

Late.

There was a large amount of grain and grass that had just been unloaded on the trestle, all of which were flammable, and when a little fire broke out, it burned wildly in a blink of an eye, burning nearly 100 transport ships on the river beach.

Fa Zheng and his 5,000 Han troops finally rushed to the river beach, but what they saw were fireboats, which were collapsing and sinking, and finally sank into the rolling Yellow River.

Their last hope of escaping for their lives was finally dashed.

The soldiers stood stupidly on the shore, their bodies stiffening, their eyes becoming helpless and frightened, until they were desperate.

"How so? Why? Why does the Su thief always get the first step, why? ”

Fa Zheng stood on the river beach, looking at the raging fire, and let out a long sigh of grief and despair.

Huo Jun's face was also gloomy, so he had to pull Fa Zheng and said: "Captain Fa, the ship has been burned down, let's go out of the camp first, if we don't leave, we will be burned here." ”

Fa Zheng didn't say a word, lost his mind, and let Huo Jun drag him away from the camp that gradually turned into a sea of fire.

The thousands of soldiers, although they were desperate to death, did not want to be burned to bones, so they could only flee back in a panic.

When they easily rushed out of the fire camp, and when they looked up, they all froze in place, and their whole bodies were shrouded in endless despair.

Directly ahead, countless Wei troops were already rolling in like a tide.

An imperial flag with the word "Wei", dazzling and dancing in the rising sun, led the endless Wei army to surround and kill in all directions.

Su Zhe, the emperor of the Great Wei, personally led the army to chase after him!

At that moment, everyone from Fazheng Huo Jun to ordinary Han soldiers and soldiers shivered deeply, and they all had the illusion of being choked by death in a trance.
