Chapter 978: Burning the Valley

said that Chen Xu chased Zhuge Liang all the way from the trail, and in order to prevent Zhuge Liang's design, Chen Xu did not dare to chase too fast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Rao is like this, when the sun shines on the earth, Chen Xu has also led the cavalry and almost chased to the end of this path.

"Lord, Zhuge Liang is running here with the Jingzhou army."

Wu Xun came to Chen Xu's side, pointed to the front and shouted loudly, his face full of joy.

Chen Xu was also overjoyed, and said: "This must be Zhuge Liang who found out that this is a dead end, so he wants to return the same way." ā€

"Pass my military order, prepare to attack, and capture Zhuge Liang alive!"

Zhuge Liang found that the end of the path was a dead end, and hurriedly led the troops to retreat, never thinking that he would just hit the Guanzhong army, the two sides had just contacted, and the Jingzhou army was immediately defeated.

Seeing that they were in a desperate situation, many Jingzhou soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

As for Zhuge Liang himself, he rushed into the valley with more than 100 people, defending the valley mouth and dying and struggling.

Dian Wei said: "Zhuge Kongming has become a turtle in the urn, and the last general will lead the troops into the valley and sacrifice this life to the lord." ā€

As Chen Xu's true confidant, no one understands better than Dian Wei that his lord is afraid of Zhuge Liang.

Of course, now Zhuge Liang has no skills to return to the sky, and there is no way to threaten Chen Xu anymore, Rao is so, if Zhuge Liang can't be caught, Chen Xu will never be at ease.

Therefore, Dian Wei took the initiative to invite Ying, ready to catch Zhuge Liang in person.

Chen Xu waved his hand and said: "Zhuge Kongming is scheming, even if this person is now exhausted, we still can't be careless." ā€

After speaking, Chen Xu immediately called some Jingzhou army prisoners and asked them about what happened along the way.

"Why did you choose this path to escape?"

The Jingzhou soldier replied: "The king's command is all cavalry, if we don't take this rugged path, sooner or later we will be caught up by the cavalry, and it will be difficult to get out." ā€

Chen Xu bowed slightly, and continued to ask: "Then why did you flee halfway and turn back instead?" ā€

The Jingzhou soldier said helplessly: "It's not that we want to turn back, it's just that this path leads to a valley, and the valley is surrounded by cliffs, which is a dead place. ā€

"What if you don't return?"

Chen Xu stroked his beard and secretly thought in his heart: "It's really not what I expected." ā€

It's just that Chen Xu still asked: "You didn't know in advance, is this a dead end?" ā€

Jingzhou soldiers smiled bitterly: "This path is steep and narrow, and no one has walked it at all in normal times, although there are scouts who go to reconnoitre, knowing that this path cannot be carried by horses, but they have not reconnoitred into the valley in a hurry." ā€

"I'm not a local, how do we know the truth of this path?"

After pondering for a long time, Chen Xu secretly thought: "That's right, the Jingzhou army fled in a hurry, and in order to get rid of the cavalry pursuit and enter the path, they didn't necessarily know that this was a dead end." ā€

Chen Xu was still not at ease, so he found a few Jingzhou soldiers separately, and the results of the inquiry were similar, so he no longer doubted.

The most important thing is that there are only more than 100 soldiers left around Zhuge Liang now, no matter how wise Zhuge Liang is, with such a small number of troops, what can he do?

"In that case, let's go into the valley."

With a decision in his heart, Chen Xu immediately issued an order to attack, and Zhuge Liang commanded more than 100 Jingzhou soldiers, who resisted very tenaciously at the valley mouth.

However, these Jingzhou soldiers are just the last madness, Dian Wei led the elite black armor guards, and soon you will be killed in the valley.

"Rush in!"

The valley isn't too big, but it's not too small.

Chen Xu led five hundred armor soldiers to kill it, pursued it in front for a while, and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was protected by the soldiers and was climbing towards the cliff, and immediately felt happy in his heart.

Chen Xu took a bow and arrow from the left and right, pulled the bowstring and shouted loudly: "Kong Ming, you can't escape, surrender!" ā€

"Buzz!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu immediately released the bowstring, and the arrow was like a meteor, directly hitting a soldier beside Zhuge Liang.

"Ahh

The Jingzhou soldier was shot in the body, and his hands could no longer grasp the cliff, and he immediately fell from it with a shout.

Fortunately, they didn't climb too high, and after the soldier fell, he didn't die immediately.

It's just that he also wailed on the ground a few times at most, and immediately lost his movement.

Zhuge Liang climbed the cliff, looking a little out of breath, and couldn't see that there was another person next to him, and a look of pain couldn't help flashing in his eyes.

"Kong Ming, come down."

This time, Chen Xu aimed the arrow at Zhuge Liang, and he could deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Zhuge Liang stopped, he raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun shining down from the valley, covering Zhuge Liang's body with a layer of golden yellow.

"Let's go down."

The cliff was too steep, and Zhuge Liang knew that with their climbing speed, they couldn't get faster than arrows.

If Chen Xu ordered the arrows to be released, Zhuge Liang and the only remaining Jingzhou soldiers would be killed by the random arrows.

Seeing Zhuge Liang leading people down, Chen Xu was immediately overjoyed, and took the bow and arrows to meet Zhuge Liang.

Since Zhuge Liang didn't climb too high, he quickly came down from the cliff and walked to Chen Xu's side without fear.

Chen Xu looked at Zhuge Liang, and suddenly felt mixed in his heart, and sighed.

He sighed and whispered to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, why are you so troubled, why don't you come to Guanzhong to help me achieve great things as soon as possible, but insist on going against the sky?" ā€

"Kong Ming can know that the destiny is difficult to disobey!"

Chen Xu is not ridiculing Zhuge Liang, in fact, he sometimes feels as if he is the protagonist of this era, born with the destiny of heaven.

Of course, it's just a feeling.

Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xu carefully, saw his white hair on his temples, and said, "Although King Qin is no longer young, he still has the courage to swallow mountains and rivers." ā€

"It's just that King Qin really thinks that the destiny of heaven is difficult to disobey?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth hung up with a mocking arc, and a weird smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Something doesn't seem right."

At this moment, Chen Xu suddenly felt a little frightened, and a bad premonition surfaced in his heart.

"Woooooo

One of the Jingzhou soldiers who were driven together suddenly untied the horn of the ox in his waist, and then blew it with all his might, and the sound of the horn suddenly echoed in the valley.

"Kill him, kill him!"

When Chen Xu heard the sound of the bull's horn, his face immediately changed greatly, and he shouted loudly to the black-armored guards who were gathered around the Jingzhou soldiers.

"Puff puff!"

The Black Armor Guard reacted very quickly and quickly killed the Jingzhou soldier.

However, the sound of bullhorns has spread throughout the valley, and the loud echo has been heard for a long time.

"Boom!"

After the horns were blown, there was a loud rumbling sound above the valley, and Chen Xu hurriedly looked up, only to find that many huge stones had fallen from the sky.

"Protect the lord!"

Dian Wei was shocked when he saw this, and roared hoarsely, and he himself grabbed a shield and protected it beside Chen Xu

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

However, the target of these stones was not Chen Xu and the others, but they rolled straight towards the mouth of the valley, and soon sealed the valley.

"Hit the mark!"

As soon as this thought flashed in Chen Xu's heart, countless firewood and tung oil fell from the sky, mixed with many torches.

"Boom!"

The valley, which was still beautiful and peaceful, turned into a sea of purgatory fire in an instant.

"My lord, the exit from the valley has been completely blocked, and the fire is raging there, so we can't get out at all."

Wu Xun rushed to Chen Xu's side with an anxious look on his face.

As for the black-armored guards guarding the Jingzhou soldiers, they were all angry and killed all the Jingzhou soldiers in the middle.

Dian Wei stepped forward and pinched Zhuge Liang's neck directly, his face looked a little hideous.

"How dare you calculate us."

"Ahem, ahem!"

The fire in the valley was raging, the smoke was thick, the soldiers were all coughing violently, Zhuge Liang was pinched out of the neck by Dian Wei, and his face turned red.

There were also some sergeants and soldiers who were caught off guard and were directly engulfed in the fire, and then kept rolling on the ground, screaming hoarsely.

In the face of raging fire, even if the elite is like the black armor guard, there is no possibility of resistance.

"Quickly tear off your robe, wet it and cover your mouth and nose!"

There was only a small puddle in the valley, and it couldn't be used to extinguish the fire, but it was enough to wet the robe.

Although this will not help the overall situation at all, because as long as you can't break out of the valley, death is only a matter of time.

Rao is like this, Chen Xu still has to fight for life for himself and his subordinates, and looks forward to a miracle.

The black armor guard and the rest of the soldiers brought in by Chen Xu are worthy of being the most elite armor soldiers in the pass, even if they are in such a desperate situation, they can carry out Chen Xu's orders.

At this time, Chen Xu turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, but he still motioned for Dian Wei to let go of his right hand.

"Is it worth risking your own life to kill me?"

Zhuge Liang coughed violently a few times, and then said: "As long as I can kill you, it's worth it." ā€

At this moment, Chen Xu actually saw a deep hatred in Zhuge Liang's eyes, which couldn't help but make Chen Xu feel a deep chill in his heart while being puzzled.

Without paying any attention to Zhuge Liang, Chen Xu shouted loudly: "Look for a place where there is no oil and clear out a piece of isolation belt!" ā€

Chen Xu covered his mouth and nose with his wet robe, and then took Dian Wei, Zhuge Liang and others and walked towards an open place.

The valley is not big, but it is not small.

Even if there is tung oil and wood thrown down on the cliff, there are still some places that are still a pure land.

The soldiers worked together and quickly cleared out a separation zone, and then everyone surrounded Chen Xu in the center.

Although this practice had no effect at all in the face of fire and smoke, the soldiers were still using their actions to show their determination to protect Chen Xu.

There was still wood and oil thrown down from the mountain, but the clearing was in the middle of the valley, and the wood and oil could not be thrown at all.

However, as time went on, the temperature in the valley became warmer and higher, and due to the lack of ventilation in the valley, more and more smoke accumulated.

Even though Sergeant Guan covered his mouth and nose with his wet robe, Chen Xu still felt a little dizzy, and it became difficult to breathe.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Zhuge Liang looked even more uneasy, coughing violently, and his face turned red.

Chen Xu came to Zhuge Liang's side and asked helplessly: "I want to know, what is the great enmity between you and me, which is worth your doing." ā€

If Zhuge Liang hadn't used himself as bait, there would have been no way to introduce Chen Xu into the valley, but in this way, how could Zhuge Liang himself be spared?

This time, Zhuge Liang was using his life as a weight, ready to drag Chen Xu to Huangquan together.

Facing death, Chen Xu was also a little excited.

In fact, since so many years of fighting on the battlefield, Chen Xu has narrowly escaped several times, and he is also a little pessimistic about life and death.

It's just that seeing that the coalition army is broken and the unification of the world is just around the corner, if he is burned to death by Zhuge Liang now, Chen Xu will not be willing to do so no matter what.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was still that calm and breezy appearance, Chen Xu couldn't help but say angrily: "What is so good about Liu Bei, you are willing to give everything for him, even your own life." ā€

"And do you know how many years will it last if you die here alone, and the war that will affect the entire Han Dynasty?"

"At that time, how many innocent people will die!"

Facing Chen Xu's questioning, Zhuge Liang finally raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "If Yueying hadn't been killed by the dead soldiers you sent, I might have gone to you a long time ago." ā€

"It's just that Yueying is dead, and we can only be enemies who never die."

Hearing this, Chen Xu was stunned on the spot, looking a little overwhelmed.

For Huang Yueying, Chen Xu didn't pay much attention, although he sent the dead to assassinate Zhuge Liang, there was no follow-up news at all.

Because all the dead soldiers who went to assassinate Zhuge Liang were all killed, and there was no news back to Guanzhong at all.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not know that Huang Yueying was killed, nor did he know that this matter was related to him.

"You say, it was the dead soldier I sent to kill Huang Yueying? And before that, do you have the intention of going to me? ā€

Zhuge Liang sneered twice and said, "Until now, do I still need to lie to you." ā€

Chen Xu was silent, and it was only then that he realized what a stupid thing he had done.

It's just that Chen Xu can't be blamed completely.

At the beginning, Pang Tong went out of the mountain to help Liu Bei, which brought too much trouble to Chen Xu, Chen Xu remembered Zhuge Liang, whose talent was still above Pang Tong, how could he not be afraid of abnormality?

And whether it is the memory of his previous life or Zhuge Liang's various performances in the past, it shows that Zhuge Liang is very likely to defect to Liu Bei.

Cutting off the big trouble at any cost, Chen Xu is not wrong to do this, it can only be said that God will make people.

Just when Chen Xu was silent, dozens of soldiers couldn't stand the smoke and fell to the ground, and panic suddenly spread among the army.

And Chen Xu also felt that his brain was a little deprived of oxygen.

Chen Xu looked up at the sky, looked at the sunlight that was faintly shining through the smoke, and muttered to himself: "It would be great if there was a rainstorm." ā€

Zhuge Liang sneered: "I have already observed the celestial phenomena, and it will definitely not rain today." ā€
