144 A fire broke out in front of the city gate tower, and the fragrance of meat wafted away to shock

Shouchun South Gate.

The powerful nobles in Shouchun City, as well as their families, slaves and their guards, watched the south gate of Shouchun City get closer and closer to them, and everyone's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy!

Suddenly, a clapper sounded. More than thirty figures of different clothes suddenly appeared on the Shouchun South Gate Tower, which was originally empty. They were holding rockets in their hands. While the powerful nobles and their guards and servants were still reacting, more than thirty rockets were already shooting at the ground where they were located with screams.[]

It was not until this time that someone noticed that some weeds, firewood and other fire-driven objects were scattered on the ground under their feet. The most important thing was that some sticky liquid was sprinkled on these things. When the rocket touched the sticky liquid, it immediately ignited the liquid.

"Ah! These are tincture oils!!" Those who recognize these sticky liquids are certainly not those powerful nobles who are pampered and powerful. Although the slaves who often do chores have now found that they are stomping on fire-induced objects that have been poured by tincture oil, the fierce fire was trapped into an uncontrollable level as soon as the rocket was shot!

These people surrounded by the fire struggled to tear their clothes and clothes that were burned, but they could not relieve the severe pain after being licked by the vicious flame tongue, nor could they suppress their extremely panic at this time. Some people began to wield the long halberds and sharp swords in their hands aimlessly. Regardless of whether the person standing beside them was the master, mistress, or the brothers, robes, pain and panic caused by their eyes blinded by thick smoke, it seemed that they had to vent with the sharp weapon in their hands. Of course, after venting, they still had to fall softly into the flames and let the flame tongue lick their flesh and blood bodies.

Looking at the crowd of people screaming more than a hundred steps away in front, and the strange fragrance of meat after being roasted, many people in the palace convoy where King Fu Chu was located turned pale, and some even vomited loudly. As for the female members in the convoy who had already picked up their heads with their eyes when they heard the screams, they did not have the courage to watch what kind of tragedy happened in the distance.

King Chu looked at the tragic scene ahead stupidly, and beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down from his round forehead and fell on the carriage. He watched with his own eyes the powerful nobles who had even vaguely wanted to silence himself, the King of Chu, and their respective guards and slaves, become "elves" who "joyed" in the sea of ​​fire. Until the intensified fire finally licked the vitality in their bodies, these people were unwilling to become "high-quality firewood" that helped to burn the fire.

"It's the Qin army's detailed works! Those Qin army's detailed works are on the city tower of the South City Gate!! They have occupied the South City Gate!!!" Ye Lin's screams louder and louder. Although he was also frightened by the tragedy ahead, he cared more about the only way for everyone to escape, and it fell into the hands of Qin army's detailed works! Although I still can't see how many Qin army's detailed works are on the city tower of the South City Gate, if I always want to define the victory or defeat by the comparison of the number of people at this time, the souls in the sea of ​​fire may stop on the road to the Yellow Springs and wait for my companions to join, because those who have that kind of thought will not be far from death!

That's right, the person who directed this scene was the more than 30 Qin soldiers who sneaked into Shouchun City under Lu Bu. As early as this day, Lu Bu had already asked Yu Qing, the "local snake" in Shouchun City to collect a lot of tincture oil that caused fire in Shouchun City. However, Lu Bu's initial plan was not actually expected to burn hundreds of fugitives to death in one fire. After all, even Lu Bu himself could not guarantee whether the upcoming fugitives would find the "gifts" they had arranged for them.

Lu Bu originally calculated that a fire trap constructed by tinder oil, hay and firewood was laid in the place in front of the city gate, but he expected that the enemy troops could be eliminated should not exceed 100 people. The biggest use of Lu Bu set up this trap was to use the power of the sea of ​​fire to block the way forward of those fugitives, which was exactly the same as Yu Qing's idea. (The reason why Yu Qing was able to set fire so successfully was because Lu Bu asked him to collect tinder oil (*^__^*))

However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Lu Bu has tried his best to think much, but he overestimated the vigilance of the powerful nobles, their guards and servants when he saw the South City Gate. When Lu Bu saw a group of people who stopped moving forward after more than a hundred steps away from the trap, Lu Bu once sighed that he underestimated these opponents. But when the team of five or six hundred people "pressure-free" stepped into the trap set by Lu Bu for them, Lu Bu almost laughed out loud on the city tower on the spot.

"The streets in the north of the city and the west of the city are already filled with black smoke. It seems that General Meng Tian has captured the two gates of Shouchun City before the plan is planned! Soldiers, as long as we hold on for a while, a great achievement will naturally fall on us after the war!!" Lu Bu picked up the Fang Tian Huaji beside him, stood up and loudly encouraged the morale of the soldiers beside him.

"Roar!!" Seeing that hundreds of people fleeing Chu were simply swallowed by the traps set by them before, the Qin soldiers who had already secretly had the intention to die had sufficient confidence in Ping An for the first time! They were full of admiration and conviction for Lu Bu, who commanded them to bring them hope of life!!

"Go down the city and set up a formation under the city. The fire can last for at least an hour. Logically speaking, General Meng Tian and his army would have arrived here at that time. If General Meng Tian's army had not yet arrived, we would have to stop the fearful people on the other side!" Although I don't know if Yu Qing's granddaughter Yu Ji among the people who were burned to death by his fire, I don't know if he burned King Fu Chu to death on the spot with his fire, Lu Bu at least knew that he had burned about half of the number of fugitives with one fire. Even if the remaining people were not as their barrier as their thirty people, Lu Bu still had absolute confidence to stay or even destroy these people!

"Ye Lin! Is there any way? The Qin army will come soon. How can we wait here?" King Fu Chu was already panicked at this time, and jumped out of the carriage and walked back and forth anxiously.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Ye Lin's eyes, and for a moment, he seemed to have made some decision: "Master, there is one solution, but my subordinates are worried..."

"What's the solution?" King Fu Chu of Chu didn't care what Ye Lin was worried about. As long as he had a way to break out of the southern city gate, nothing was nothing.

"The fire in front is different from the previous streets that were difficult to extinguish. As long as the soldiers were asked to clear all the ignition materials such as corpses and debris, the fire would inevitably be controlled. However, this method may cause some casualties among the soldiers. After all, it is to get close to the sea of ​​fire or even enter the sea of ​​fire to send out the ignition materials." At this time of life and death, Ye Lin did not care about other life and death. He has now expressed this "unemotional" method, and finally decided whether to follow the decision to follow the action and handed over the right to King Fu Chu of Chu.

"Immediately, let's do it according to this method! There are only dozens of Qin troops on the opposite side. As long as we clear the passage, this number of people cannot stop us at all!!" King Fu Chusi made a decision without hesitation. In his opinion, as long as his palace soldiers could preserve the power of more than a hundred people in the end, they could easily break through the defense line composed of Qin troops on the opposite side, and he could successfully board the ship in Huainan to successfully escape from the pursuit of the Qin troops in Shouchun City.

Since he received the support of King Fu Chu of Chu, Ye Lin was relieved and boldly assigned the court soldiers around him. Looking at the burning fire and smelling the disgusting smell of meat, the court soldiers who received the order couldn't believe their ears: Let yourself clear the road in this sea of ​​fire? If you officials have the ability, you can try it yourself?

The military discipline of the Chu army was not very strict, and Ye Lin was not a well-known general with prestige. These "Elite Guards of Chu" who have been stationed in the Chu Palace for many years are certainly unwilling to implement such unreasonable orders. Ye Lin is indeed not famous, but the reason why he was able to be the commander of the Guards of the Chu Palace was because this man had a sense of ruthlessness. At critical moments, he could make the decision to cut the mess quickly.

"The King of Chu has an order! Those who do not obey the general's order will be killed without mercy!" Ye Lin led his more than 20 personal guards to draw out the sharp sword at his waist, and a trace of unconcealed murderous aura appeared on his face.

"Don't be afraid of him! There are so many people here, he dare not, oh..." The court soldier who tried to provoke the other soldiers and Ye Lin to continue to resist, covered his bloody chest and slowly fell to the ground.

Ye Lin shook the blood stains from the bronze sword in his hand to the ground, and looked coldly at the shocked and suspicious palace soldiers: "Everyone takes turns to clear the road, there will basically be no casualties, but if anyone dares to refuse to obey, the order of the King of Chu: killing without mercy!!"

To disobey the military order, it means to be killed without mercy. Although there is a great danger to execute the military order, there is at least a glimmer of chance. It is this possible that the vast majority of the court soldiers gritted their teeth and decided to abide by the military orders issued by Ye Lin. The remaining people had to follow the rest reluctantly and walk towards the sea of ​​fire ahead. Of course, in the hearts of all the court soldiers, they secretly "give" their ancestors to King Fu Chu and Ye Lin, the commander of the court soldiers.
