140 days of falling fire
Hulao Pass.
"Start the door quickly!" Seeing the Han messenger from afar, the guard at the top of the city gave an order.
The suspension bridge rumbled down. The heavy door-closing will open a crack, and a fast horse roared in.
"Report—"
The guards, one left and one right, rushed into the central army's tent with a messenger who had exhausted his strength.
"The General Du Liao led a surprise troops out of Huguan, defeated several Yellow Turban units, and was advancing towards Yecheng. The general who captured the captive army had occupied Gaotang and was collecting his ships and blocking the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou to the north!"
After a little contemplation, the teacher asked, "Tiger teeth, the second general of the light chariot, where is the man?"
"General Huya is in charge of his troops entering Yingchuan, and General Qingche is heading to Chenliu." The deputy general clan replied loudly. The clan is now the General of the Wuhuan Central Army.
"A man comes, I will send my general order. I will order the left and right generals to set off immediately and rush to help the second general of Du Liao and Huya."
"Here!"
"Boggui."
"Students are here."
"You lead your troops and patrol the south bank of the Great River. If you encounter a small group of yellow turbans, you will kill them. If you encounter a large group of thieves, you will burn all the ships along the coast and you will definitely stop them from crossing the river."
"Abide by the order!"
"The person who came here sent a commander Cao Cao to defend the Liyang camp without any loss."
"Here!"
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi first built Yecheng. At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Yecheng was the territory of Wei, and Wei Wenhou used Yecheng as his subordinate capital. Later, he returned to Zhao. During the Qin Dynasty, he belonged to Handan County. The Han Dynasty was the capital of Wei County. The thousand-year-old ancient city was surrounded by Zhangshui in the north. The city was high and thick, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Yellow Turban Thief could not retreat and avoided fighting. The Han army could only set foot outside the city and fight steadily.
That night, south of Yecheng, the Han army camp.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the spring breeze is gentle. Looking at the giant city covering half of the night sky, the captive general Tian Yan was thinking hard about the strategy to break the enemy.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the city crackling. Before I could hear it carefully, the bowstrings whistled.
The Han army camp stood several miles away. Even the crossbow that shot thousands of steps from a distance was not as powerful as the thief. What is the purpose of this?
I stopped for a long time, but no arrows fell.
Just thinking about it was hard to understand. A line of fire suddenly fell from the sky.
With a "bang", the army tent ignited a raging fire!
"Enemy attack--" The soldiers in the tent rushed out in tears. But they saw that only the camp behind them were on fire. The rest were safe and sound.
"Why did the fire happen?" Judge Jun asked sternly.
"Let's wait, I wait..." The soldier was speechless when he saw another line of fire falling from the sky.
Bang! The tent behind the military judge was ignited.
"Flowing fire fell from the sky!" Someone pointed at the sky.
"Put the fire quickly!" Tian Yan shouted angrily. Everyone woke up and hurriedly fetched water to put out the fire. Seeing that the tent was about to burn out, another celestial fire fell.
Bang!
Another military tent was lit.
Tian Yan, who had been looking up, saw a huge black shadow faintly at the moment when the sky caught fire. He used his eyes to see a big black bird hovering in the sky.
"Get the bow!" Tian Yan shouted in a low voice.
"Here!" The guard rushed to the central army's tent.
When Tian Yan took the bow in his hand, five ripples of fire fell from the sky. The flying trajectory of the black bird was also firmly grasped by Tian Yan.
After two more fires fell, Tian Yan raised his arm and opened his bow when the mysterious bird flew over his head!
The white feathered arrow ran out of the thunder, hitting the bird's belly.
A muffled groan. The blood fell in the sky. It happened to drop on Tian Yan's forehead. The mysterious bird was unable to turn back and fell straight into the wild forests in the west of the city.
"Follow me!" Tian Yan led a team of elite cavalry out of the camp and rushed straight to the west of the city.
From a distance, I saw a fire rising in the forest. When I got off my horse and approached, I saw a giant firebird squirting its extremely enlarged fire wings, as if it was about to soar into the sky.
"General, be careful!" The fire wings fanned the wind, and the flames swept across the waves. The knights hurriedly threw Tian Yan to the ground. The flying fire burst out, and the cloak behind them was ignited. The knight rolled back and forth in the clearings in the forest, extinguishing the sparks on his body. When he stood up again, the firebird was gone, leaving only the fire bear.
"Pretending to be a ghost, how can there be firebirds in the world!" Tian Yan was about to step forward.
The heat wave is over, and it is difficult to get close.
"General retreat quickly!" The knights dragged Tian Yan away from the fire without saying a word.
When returning to the camp, the knights were still in fear. Tian Yan had issued a ban order, and no one should be mentioned to anyone who saw it in the forest. Those who violate the order shall be killed!
Yecheng was first accompanied by the capital of Wei, and now it is the capital of Wei County. Since then, there is a strong city. Tian Yan led the cavalry of the southern Xiongnu, and the knights of the five counties on the edge of the border were as powerful as the bamboo shoots. They raided here. However, the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, so they could only camp under the city. They ordered the cavalry to circumnate the city and intercepted small groups of Yellow Turbans. The army held the camp and waited for reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, the yellow turbans in the city actually appeared, and the flying fire was projected. How could Tian Yan believe such an incredible thing if he had not seen it with his own eyes!
Thinking of all kinds of hearsays, Tian Yan's heart was as deep as water when he smiled.
"Come."
"exist!"
"Sorry the eagle shooter in the army to climb the arrow tower together. Follow my orders."
"Here!"
Yecheng is good at smelting iron and is well-known all over the world. The good craftsmen in the city lined up from the street to the end of the alleys and formed a line of smelting. It is said that iron smelting, one after another, and the sound spreads ten miles away. Even outside the city, you can hear it. In detail, the Yellow Turban Army occupying Yecheng consumed all the iron memory in the city. They also demolished all the houses, the rich merchants and the heavy weapons, and used to build the weapons to defend the city. But they didn't know whether the Xuanniao was accustomed to being mysterious or the evil magic of Taiping Taoism or the evil magic.
I learned along the way that the Yellow Turban Army had a strong wall and cleared the fields. The surrounding cities and villages were plundered, and all the grains and grasses were stored in Yecheng. I was afraid that it would be enough for the military and civilians in the city to take care of them for several years.
The thief who has always only run around like a headless fly actually learns to seize the city. This battle is really difficult.
When the Legend of the Condor Heroes climbed the Arrow Tower, he was guarding Gao. Tian Yan asked again: "When will the Zuo Zhonglang arrive?"
"It can be reached within three days." The subordinate replied.
"Tomorrow morning, I will order people to fly arrows to spread the word in the book city, killing the gang Kaicheng to protect the family."
"Here!"
The Han army camp was secretly prepared, but there was no sound at the city of Yecheng.
After a long time, seeing the sky was white, Tian Yan said to his left and right: "Let the battalions guard the garrisons in batches, and the soldiers return to their tents to rest."
"Here!"
The next night, the crack sounded again. Three huge black birds flew down from the top of the city. Archers from the Han army camp shot towards each other. Although the black birds were shot one after another, they still circled. From time to time, they threw down flying fires and lit military tents.
The black bird, covered with arrows, burned in the sky without waiting for it to fall. It turned into a huge firebird, dragging its long flame tail and planted in the camp. The raging fire ignited all the way.
"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire! Quickly..." The sound ended abruptly.
I saw a huge fire wing suddenly stretched out in the burning sea of fire, and it was incited several times in a row, and it was swallowed by the flames.
"Demon! Demon..." The soldier was strangled to his throat.
"Those who are witchy and confusing the crowd, kill!" The general pushed away, and Tian Yan stared at the burning flames with a blue face.
When the three mysterious birds were shot down, they put out the fire, and it was dawn. The camp was filled with smoke and a mess. The soldiers were smoky and their faces were devastated.
Rumors began to spread, and seeing that the morale of the army was unstable, Tian Yan would be discontinued: "Retreat three miles to camp!"
"Here!"
The watchtower in Yecheng.
Seeing the Han army retreating, wearing heavy armor and the Yellow Turban Qushang sneered: "Haha! Rats!"
Tian Yan dared not neglect the camp again. This sent the Taiping Xuan Bird and the flowing fire from the sky back to the Huzhu.
"The black bird flows with fire?" The teacher was skeptical.
"Can Gong Ming give me a message?" The speaker was Shen Pei. After the beginning of spring, the three of them came to join the army, and they all became counselors under their mentor's tent.
