398 The city was burned with fire

On the tower of Wuyang County, the archers immediately opened their bows and shot arrows to cover Ling Cao and others entering the city.

But Zhou Tai led more than a thousand cavalry to catch up and bite Ling Cao's troops tightly.

Ling Cao desperately fled back to the city, shouting loudly to retreat on the city tower, and the young man with silver helmet and silver armor who was standing on the city tower disappeared at this time.

Ling Cao rode his horse and galloped, and the soldiers behind him also followed closely, not making any blockades, but rushing towards another city gate.

When he ran to the county office, the young man in silver helmet and silver armor suddenly appeared beside Ling Cao on horseback and said to Ling Cao: "Father, everything is ready, as long as the enemy dares to enter the city, they will definitely be annihilated." ”

Ling Cao nodded, and said to the silver-armored young man: "Tong'er, I've worked hard for you, you hurry up and take people out of here, and leave the rest to your father." ”

The silver-armored young man was none other than Ling Cao's son Ling Tong, Ling Tong was only twelve years old, but his body was extremely well developed, and he had grown into an adult, but he could not hide the immaturity that his face should have.

Pretending to be Sun Quan this time is Ling Tong's task.

When Ling Tong heard Ling Cao say this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart and asked, "Father, aren't you leaving?" ”

Ling Cao said: "Zhou Tai is a strong general of the enemy army, you must try to get rid of him, you and take people first, so as not to be seen as flawed." ”

"If my father doesn't leave, I won't leave!" Ling Tong stubbornly said.

"Bastard! This is a military order! There are no fathers and sons in the army, you are my soldier, you must obey my orders! And you're the most critical person, and you don't run away. How do the enemy chase? In case the enemy sees a flaw. Our efforts have been in vain. Do you want me to be alone? And did the operation fail? Ling Cao reprimanded sharply.

"But, Father......"

"Nothing!" After Ling Cao finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the twenty relatives behind him, "To protect Ling Tong from the city, you must escort him to a safe place!" ”

The twenty relatives behind Ling Cao responded in unison: "Oh! ”

Immediately afterwards, these twenty relatives surrounded Ling Tong and left the county seat of Wuyang County, while Ling Tong stayed near the county government of Wuyang County and gathered his subordinates together again. said to his subordinates: "Today's battle is a battle of life and death in Jiangdong, and whether you can win or not depends on you." If anyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, please leave here as soon as possible, I will never stop you. But if you choose to stay, you must put life and death aside, and when the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

As soon as Ling Cao's words fell, more than five hundred soldiers beside him. Suddenly, they looked at each other, and more than 100 of them were shaken. wanted to leave, Ling Cao got out of the way and let them out of the city, and the remaining four hundred soldiers expressed their willingness to advance and retreat with Ling Cao, even if they died, they were not afraid.

Ling Cao then organized these 400 people, blocked the streets, and prepared to engage in street battles with Zhou Tai, dragging Zhou Tai as much as possible, and then allowing more enemies to enter the city.

At the same time, Ling Cao sent another entourage to ventilate outside the city to report the news, so that the ambush soldiers outside the city were ready, and after a quarter of an hour, he would kill from the city, hoping that the ambush soldiers outside the city would respond!

Immediately afterwards, Ling Cao's subordinates moved out many tables and chairs from the surrounding houses, blocking the entire passage, and he and his subordinates lined up behind the obstacles, pulling out their bows and arrows one after another, and were ready to shoot with their bows.

Zhou Tai led his army into the city, scattered the soldiers who resisted him, and when he reached the vicinity of the county office, he saw that the road was stuffed with obstacles and could not be passed, and he vaguely saw the opposite situation through the gap between the obstacles.

But seeing that Ling Cao organized about three or four hundred subordinates, they were all full of bows and ready to shoot. After Zhou Tai realized the danger, he immediately ordered: "Hide quickly!" ”

At the same time as Zhou Tai gave the order, hundreds of arrows "swished" into the air, drawing a graceful arc in the sky, and then flew towards the dense crowd blocking the street.

"Ah......h

A cluster of arrows fell, and some Yangzhou soldiers were caught off guard, and were shot by arrows, some were killed by an arrow, and some were injured by arrows, and let out a wail.

"Disperse!" Zhou Tai ordered loudly, and the soldiers congested on the road dispersed to the buildings on both sides to find cover.

Zhou Tai hid behind the wall of a private house, summoned two of his subordinates, and ordered them to each lead a group of men to go around the left and right flanks, while he stayed here to attract the enemy.

After the order was issued, Zhou Tai and the others divided into three routes, Zhou Tai stayed here to organize the archers to shoot at the opposite side, and the two military commanders under him each took three or five hundred people, one left and one right, and detoured from the side.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Zhou Tai and Ling Cao began to shoot at each other, arrows came and went, and both sides suffered casualties, but Zhou Tai had many soldiers, and the soldiers behind him were still pouring in towards the city, so they had a great advantage in terms of strength.

At this moment, the two military horses under Zhou Tai made a detour from the left and right, and directly attacked Ling Cao from the side, and after Zhou Tai heard the fighting sound in front of him, he immediately led people to rush forward.

Although the avenue was blocked, Zhou Tai rode his horse and detoured through the small alley on the side, and before he could run there, Ling Cao suddenly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and hundreds of remnants of the army rushed towards the city gate.

Where is Zhou Tai willing to give up, while letting people clear the obstacles on the road, while leading people to pursue.

Zhou Tai rode through the county government on horseback, and when he was about to reach the gate of the city, he suddenly found that something was wrong, the city of Wuyang County was in a mess, and there was not a single person in the city. In addition, there was no so-called army, fighting back and forth, and it seemed that there were only the thousand soldiers led by Ling Cao.

Zhou Tai hurriedly reined in his horses, and when he looked back, the streets and alleys of the city were full of his subordinates, and they were becoming more and more crowded, not to mention more than 10,000 people.

Zhou Tai was shocked in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, just as he was about to give the order, Ling Cao and his people had already rushed out of Wuyang County, and a moment later, tens of thousands of rockets suddenly shot from the west of Wuyang County, and arrows with Mars filled the entire sky, densely packed.

"Oh no, it's a trick! Get out of the county, get out of the county! Zhou Tai looked up and saw the starfire in the sky, the dense rockets, flying towards the city at a rapid speed, he shouted loudly while running forward.

Zhou Tai took hundreds of personal cavalry, and when he just ran to the gate of the city, tens of thousands of rockets fell in the city of Wuyang County, and in just a moment, a fire suddenly broke out in the city of Wuyang County, and the fire spread rapidly to the surroundings with some traces of liquid on the ground, gradually forming a sea of fire.

"Ah......h

In an instant, the people in the city turned over on their backs, and the fire soon formed a raging fire, quickly devouring everything in the city, and gradually formed a raging fire dragon, opening its bloody mouth, stretching out a scorching tongue of fire, swallowing everything in the city into the mouth of the fire dragon.

Chen Deng, who was watching the battle on the other side of Wuyang County, still had a happy smile on his face, but when he saw the fire in the county town, thick smoke billowing out, many soldiers rushed out of the city gate, and there were scorched marks everywhere, but only a moment later, the fire dragon sealed the city gate, and the entire county became a fire field, and the screams were endless.

At this time, Chen Deng's heart was shocked, he never expected that he would encounter such a situation. Standing there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Before Chen Deng could react, bursts of shouts came out from all directions at the same time, and groups of people with white cloth bands wrapped around their heads and white cloths on their bodies emerged and killed Chen Deng.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi were seven generals, each with their own teams, and killed them from seven different directions, forming a huge pocket, surrounding Chen Deng and his subordinates, and in front of them was the burning county town of Wuyang.

Chen Deng never dreamed that he would encounter such a situation, he immediately commanded his subordinates to defend, but it was already too late, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others rushed quickly, and without waiting for Chen Deng's order, the army had already killed in front of him, and directly collided with Chen Deng's army.

Chen Deng and the others were killed by surprise, although Chen Deng tried his best to order to maintain the army's battle, but his army was too numerous, and the scope of his orders was very limited, only one or two thousand people around him could know his orders very clearly, and the remaining more than 10,000 people could not know Chen Deng's orders, so that they fell into chaos for a while.

At the same time, Zhou Tai led more than 300 cavalry to rush out of the county by luck, but just out of the wolf's den, and fell into the tiger's mouth, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang and others who had been ambushed outside the city each led their troops to kill Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai was outnumbered and expected to be unable to resist, so he quickly led the cavalry to find Chen Deng. He walked around half of the county, and the sound of screams and fights kept coming from his ears.

When Zhou Tai saw Chen Deng's troops, he found that Chen Deng was suffering from a fierce attack by the enemy, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Sun Ben, Sun He, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, these generals who could conquer and fight appeared here, and the Yangzhou army was in chaos, and Chen Deng was surrounded by heavy surrounds.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai immediately led his subordinates to rescue Chen Deng.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang joined forces to attack Chen Deng, and Chen Deng's command was sinking to respond to the battle, and with the help of the armor, some unfavorable factors were temporarily eliminated, and almost a confrontation with Cheng Pu and Han Dang.

However, Cheng Pu and Han Dang are both brave and good at fighting, and no one in Chen Deng's army can resist, seeing that Cheng Pu and Han Dang are gradually killing Chen Deng, Chen Deng is also powerless.

At this moment, Zhou Tai led the army to kill from behind, his hand rose and fell, and the heads fell to the ground, Zhou Tai's knife skills were exquisite, and his subordinates were all elite soldiers, after a hard time, he finally tore a crack, rushed to Chen Deng, and took Chen Deng to kill out.
