Fire attack?

Guo Xiaoqi learned about the situation in the city, and his complexion did not change at all.

On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief, he had expected that Timur would burn the city and want to inflict heavy damage on the cavalry.

This old man is cunning and sinister, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends.

Now. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately accepting Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue's suggestions, he didn't lead the main force of the cavalry army into the city.

Otherwise, the main army entered the city and was tragically fired, and happened to fall for Temur's tricks, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Turning his head to look at the fire spreading in the south, Guo Xiaoqi ordered: "The vanguard elite will move to the north of the city as soon as possible, strive to open the road to the north gate, and control the north gate to leave a way for the army to retreat.

In addition, immediately capture two Turks alive and torture the deployment in the city."

The words fell, and the lieutenant beside him had not yet answered, when he suddenly snorted, and the dark arrow flying in the air passed through the gap between the shield arrays and pierced Guo Xiaoqi's shoulder.

Suddenly, Guo Xiao rode a fallen war horse.

"General!"

"Protect the General!"

Several lieutenants hurriedly approached Guo Xiaoqi and shouted loudly.

The shield soldiers on the periphery, the crossbowmen, fought with twelve points of spirit, and formed an impenetrable defense beside Guo Xiaocai.

Hidden arrows hurt people?

Temur dared to secretly order his subordinates to secretly arrow people and kill Guo Xiaoqi, and several captains were furious.

In the ground, Guo Xiao sat up abruptly while covering his wounds, pulled out the arrows on his body in pain, covered the wounds with his palms, and scolded angrily: "This group of miscellaneous people, dare to hurt people with secret arrows, send people to search all the houses within 300 steps, and kill all the Turks!"

"Whoa!"

A lieutenant helped Guo Xiao to ride and bandage his wounds briefly, and Guo Xiao rode on the war horse again.

He took the iron shield in the hand of the shield soldier and shouted: "The middle army, the rear army will conduct a carpet search, step by step, and shoot all the enemy troops hidden nearby."

On a roof in front of him, Temur's lieutenant saw Guo Xiao riding down his horse, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a thick smile.

Capture the thief and capture the king first.

You can't capture Guo Xiaoqi alive, you can only shoot the other party.

At this moment, he shot Guo Xiaoqi, he didn't dare to linger for a moment, for fear that Guo Xiaoqi's cronies would attack in retaliation and avenge Guo Xiaoqi.

It's a pity that during the transfer, he suddenly noticed that Guo Xiao rode back into the horse, and seemed to be safe and sound, unaffected, and not worried about his life.

How is this possible, he obviously shot Guo Xiaoqi, and the deputy general muttered to himself.

According to his conjecture, after shooting Guo Xiaocai, the Xiao cavalry army that broke into the city was leaderless, and took the opportunity to ignite the fire oil and fire in the city, and all the Turks were able to eradicate the Xiao cavalry army that rushed into the city before they withdrew from the city.

Now, Guo Xiao is riding back on horseback, which has completely frustrated his plan.

The most important thing is that Guo Xiao rode back to the back of the horse, many Xiao cavalry soldiers were scattered in all directions, and some soldiers were holding weapons and were approaching in the direction where he was, as if they had noticed his traces.

For a moment, the deputy general accelerated his forward speed, and instantly reminded the robe around him to evacuate to the north of the city.

"Catch him!"

As he fled, a cavalry soldier shouted loudly from behind.

In an instant, the downpour was like a rain of arrows, like a swarm of bees chasing after it.

Bang bang bang

"Shhh

The lieutenant exhaled and endured the pain to speed up his escape.

On the other side, the elite soldiers of the Xiao cavalry army are cautiously exploring the way, fighting to the death with the Turkic ambushes hidden in front, and those who are slowly advancing.

At the north gate of the street, on a tall restaurant, Temur's expression was as cold as ice, his eyes stared into the street, and he saw the hidden ambush soldiers desperately blocking the cavalry, but the other party was still moving forward slowly.

As the flames at the south gate skyrocketed, the lightning spread to the north, Guo Xiaocai led the Xiao cavalry army to quickly transfer to the north, depending on the situation, the Xiao cavalry wanted to rush out of the north gate.

At this moment, he still doesn't know how many elites are left in the city, and whether he still has the strength to stop the cavalry.

However, there is one thing, Temur's heart is like a mirror, and he definitely can't let the cavalry retreat and rush out of the surrendered city, otherwise all their previous efforts and casualties will be wasted.

After hesitating, he turned around and ordered the pro-army: "Light all the fires in the city as soon as possible, Mingjin will collect the troops, and the army will move outside the city."

"Whoa!"

At this moment, he didn't know that the four gates of the East Surrender City had completely surrounded Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming and the Xiao cavalry.

Even if they completely annihilated Guo Xiaoqi and his party, it would be difficult to break out of the encirclement of the Tang army, not to mention, Lin Kaiyue personally led the army to guard the north gate, and the hope of retreating was even slimmer.

"Whoa!"

The pro-army replied, and hurriedly turned around to convey the military order!

Under the protection of the pro-army, Temur walked down to the restaurant.

Soon, in the war-torn city, there was a crisp sound of gold, and the sound of clanging bells spread throughout the city.

The Turkic elite soldiers who were fighting fiercely everywhere heard the sound and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and the soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the Xiao cavalry army also hurriedly evacuated and moved towards the north gate from different directions.

The Xiao cavalry army couldn't guess why the Turks suddenly came to Mingjin to withdraw their troops, but the Xiao cavalry did not let the Turkic soldiers flee bravely, and chased after them one by one.

In the central street, Guo Xiaocai led the Chinese army, and the rear army moved forward, suddenly heard the sound of gold from the north, frowned slightly, and sighed secretly: "Song of gold, could it be that Timur is preparing to flee?"

Suspicious, his expression suddenly became serious.

Temur led an ambush to annihilate the cavalry with the help of fire, but at this moment the south gate was already on fire, and if Temur led his army to evacuate, it was likely to ignite the flames in other parts of the city.

At that time, the cavalry was caught in the flames and was bound to suffer heavy casualties.

Hurriedly roared to the three armies: "Have you caught any Turkic prisoners?"

The fire in the south of the street is too fierce for the cavalry to break through, and the only way to move to the north gate is to move at present, but if the flames of the other three gates are lit before Temur evacuates, the hope of evacuation is very slim, and the Turkic prisoners must be captured and forced to find the way for the Turks to evacuate.

Hearing this, the soldiers shouted bravely: "General, according to the torture of the captives, Temur left a secret passage in the city, and after setting fire to the city, all the remnants evacuated along the secret passage."

There really is a secret way!

Guo Xiaoqi sighed secretly: "Temur, this despicable old horseman, is too vicious, fighting on the battlefield, but playing tricks on the Tang Army."

He immediately ordered: "Send an order to gather troops as soon as possible, and before the Turks set fire to the city, the three armies will all withdraw from the city along the secret passage they have deployed in advance."

A raging fire will turn the city to ashes, but the outside of the city is full of elite Tang troops, and there is always a chance to capture Temur and eradicate the remnants of the Turkic soldiers.

Before the military order was issued, the east, west, and north of the city were already billowing smoke, and an overwhelming fire was about to burn.

In an instant, Guo Xiaocai and Xiao cavalry couldn't help but panic, the water and fire were ruthless, and they had to withdraw from the city before the fire spread.
