Chapter 366 One person took it all
With no choice, Shiyu had no choice but to organize his men to block the fire as much as possible while digging a road through the valley entrance, while on the other he was furious to capture Yan Zhong.
As a result, it was found that Yan Zhong had disappeared long ago, and all the other prisoners had also left, and the defenders at Donggukou had been completely wiped out.
The evil fire in Shiyu's heart couldn't help but surge up. Until now, he still didn't know that he had been tricked by that old dog Yan Zhong, the kind that would lead him to death.
However, now is not the time to vent. The fire is burning so much that Shi Yu is devastated. The fire is devouring everything and turning everything around him into ashes.
The fire light illuminated the entire valley, and the dancing figure looked like a ferocious beast, roaring and rampaging.
Dayun Valley was filled with chaos and panic. Herdsmen were running around, scrambling to find an exit, but the fire spread too fast, making it impossible for people to escape. The herdsmen let out desperate shouts and wailings, but their voices were insignificant in the sea of fire.
The instinct of survival prompted the herdsmen to rush towards the valley mouth. Regardless of whether the road was opened or not, they crawled out with their hands and feet crying for their fathers and mothers.
Unfortunately, what was waiting for them outside were rows of archers, who came out to kill one by one, or a pair of archers who came out to kill a pair.
Even though some shouted to surrender, no one showed mercy.
Huangfu Song's military order is that before dawn, anyone who is still holding a weapon will be killed without mercy.
There were archers blocking the road in front and fierce fire behind them. As a last resort, everyone worked together to clear the earth and rocks at the entrance of the valley, hoping that the cavalry could pass smoothly and then break out of a safe road.
Soon, the earth and rocks were almost cleared, and Shiyu gave an order, and the cavalry charged outward.
Then, the faster you rush, the harder you fall.
There were potholes everywhere on the road at the entrance of the valley. The horse stepped on it and stumbled instantly. The cavalryman was thrown off the horse and hit the ground hard. If he was lucky, he fell to death on the spot. If he was unlucky, he was trampled by the team behind him. Died in extreme pain.
The cavalry's sprinting speed was interrupted, and they couldn't lift it up even if they wanted to. They could only move forward cautiously like a thief.
However, the Han army would not give them a chance. The archers strictly followed Huangfu Song's orders, and the arrows poured down for free, killing the cavalrymen and turning them upside down.
I don't know how many people were killed or injured. The uneven road was completely paved with corpses. Waiting for them were horse-proof stakes, shield soldiers, spearmen, as well as archers who took the time to fire cold arrows, and the killing guards who were waiting for work.
In short, the result is hard to describe. As many people rushed out of Dayun Valley, as many people died.
In the end, there was really no other choice. He would be burned to death if he stayed in the valley, and would be killed if he went out. In that case, just jump into the river. After all, there was still a glimmer of hope.
As a result, the river in Dayun Valley was suddenly filled with people like dumplings, and some people were jumping down.
The river water at night was freezing cold, and the people in the river felt as if they were suffering from a world of ice and fire. Their bodies under the water were almost frozen, and the parts above the water were almost cooked, and they were extremely tormented.
Seeing that no one rushed out for a long time, Jia Xu nodded to Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song gave a cruel smile and directly ordered people to pour kerosene on the upper reaches of the river, and then set the river on fire.
The flames jumped out like monkeys in the sky, and attacked into the valley with their teeth and claws.
No one in the river was spared. The fire quickly spread across the body, making people fall into despair and completely destroying their nerves.
The flames licked the human body, and the pain was like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives. It was maddening and unbearable.
Cries, shouts, screams, howls, all the noisy sounds were distorted in the fire.
Tension, fear, pain, and regret are infinitely amplified. The red light burning in the darkness is like the call signal of death, making people just want to die for relief.
The fire became more and more fierce, and the raging flames expanded its claws unbridled, trying to cover all places under its rule.
The Dayun Valley was filled with flames and smoke. People and animals were constantly being devoured and struggling to the ground. Houses, fields, and even the river banks were burned red.
Until dawn, the fire in the valley showed no sign of weakening. It was still as strong as ever. The heat wave could be felt from a long distance away, making it impossible to get close.
After the fire oil on the river burned out, survivors began to carefully follow the river out of the valley.
Although there were still troops watching outside, this time they shot and killed them without saying a word, which actually made the survivors cry with joy.
The rest of the matter will be simple. As long as there is a chance of survival, be a prisoner. It is better than being buried in a sea of fire.
"Haha, He Ming, this battle can go so smoothly because of your contribution."
When Huangfusong met Yan Zhong, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter. Although they could win without Yan Zhong, it was hard to say how many casualties there would be. Like now, there was basically no damage.
"I've met General Huangfu. The general is overly praised. It's all for the big man." Yan Zhong smiled and saluted, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Jia Xu. The two people in front of him were old acquaintances with him.
"Brother He Ming, I didn't expect that you would be kidnapped here as soon as I said goodbye. Things are really unpredictable."
Jia Xu sighed. Yan Zhong was just as unlucky as he was. He was kidnapped first to Yunwu, and then to Dayun Valley just after he was released. No one else is this lucky. Why don't we go somewhere together some other time? Incense stick?
"Forget it. If it weren't for Ah Xiong's help this time, I would have lost my old life here. How could I dare to make such a plan." Yan Zhong shook his head and directly shared the credit.
"Zilong has mentioned Hua Xiong's martial arts skills to me. If nothing else happens, he will enter the prince's service. You can rest assured about this." Huangfu Song glared at Yan Zhong angrily. Can I still take credit from others?
Yan Zhong chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all. Instead, he moved closer to Huangfu Song and asked in a low voice:
"General Huangfu, I wonder if you can let me meet the prince. The prince and I have been friends for a long time."
Huangfusong looked at Yan Zhong speechlessly, "In terms of shamelessness, it's you, why don't I show you your old ways and see if the prince will beat you."
"Don't think about it. No one knows where the prince is now. Just follow me first. There will always be a chance."
"Uh... Okay." Yan Zhong felt a little pity. If a person like the prince could not meet him, he would die in peace.
……
The fire in Dayun Valley has been burning for half a month. During this period, survivors have been coming out alive intermittently. I don’t know where they are hiding. However, there are always some places that cannot be burned by fire, such as places without grass, such as places that have been burned. A place to go over.
According to the final statistics, there were only a little over [-] herdsmen left in Dayun Valley, and [-] people and horses were destined to die.
The animals that were burned to death were countless, and Huangfu Song used them as military rations to reward the three armies, and they all ate them with open stomachs.
The living herdsmen were trembling like quails, and they did whatever they were asked to do. They were very obedient, for fear of angering these demons.
However, his enemy is my hero.
To the whole army, no matter how many people you have died, our side is doing very well anyway, and we feel comfortable when every war is fought so smoothly.
I heard that it was a plan to kill Commander Zhao of the Divine Guard. Sure enough, no wonder he was the commander, capable of both literary and military skills.
The constant words of praise made Zhao Yun blush. Alas, after all, I am the only one who has shouldered everything.
