Chapter One Thousand and Nine: Zhang Yu's Rage

Ling Cao led people to kill him, but soon, some soldiers told him that the city was on fire.

There was a fire in the city, Ling Cao didn't care, but ordered the soldiers outside the city to pay attention, don't let Cao Jun run away.

Soon, the fire became bigger and was burning everywhere. Ling Cao could see the flames everywhere in the city from the east gate.

"No, get out of the city quickly." Ling Cao yelled with a huge shock in his heart.

He led the people back out in a hurry, and when he got to the gate of the city, the city was already in flames.

"Quickly, send someone to see what happened." Ling Cao ordered the soldiers around him to say.

Ling Cao hurriedly sent someone to look at it, it was obviously a very abnormal thing.

The fire in the city was getting bigger and bigger, and the chaotic voices from inside came out.

"General, there's a big fire inside, it's all a big fire, you can't get in at all."

"The road has been blocked."

With a bang in the head of Ling Cao, the road was blocked, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who entered couldn't get out?

"Let the soldiers stand by at the north gate to block them."

Based on the trajectory of the fire, Ling Cao judged that the enemy was going to break out from the north gate.

Ling Cao's heart was bleeding, this is an army of hundreds of thousands.

I don't care about sadness at this time, but let's finish the battle first.

Ling Cao hurriedly led people to the north gate, and at the same time sent someone to notify Zhang Yu of the situation here.

In a short time, the city was a sea of ​​flames.

The fire was ignited in almost a quarter of an hour.

It wasn't just one place that burned.

The way to retreat was also blocked by Cao Jun with a few houses of wood.

They have piled up a large amount of dry firewood in some houses and have loaded the car.

When the fire started, they all pushed out, lit the fire, and formed a huge wall of fire, preventing Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses from retreating.

At this time, the city is already hell.

Many Cao Jun didn't know what was going on at all, the fire was so fierce that even they couldn't escape.

To burn all Zhang Yu's army to death, it is not enough to just light their side, because they can be killed, and when the fire burns, Cao Jun can't stop them.

In order to burn all Zhang Yu's troops to death, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu set most of the entire city on fire.

They were unable to break through the three city gates in the east, west, and south, and these places were also blocked by the fire.

At the same time, to prevent Zhang Yu's army from coming out, they also cut off their retreat.

Zhang Yu's army had nowhere to come out unless they cut off their own retreat.

The city was in hell, and the soldiers tried many ways, but they couldn't get out of the flames, because there were fires everywhere.

Cao Xiu looked at the fire in front of him and couldn't bear it. Not only Zhang Yu's army was burned by the fire, but also many people in the city, and he also had his own army of hundreds of thousands.

Cao Xiu was waiting. He waited for Cao Chun to come back, and then went out through the north gate together.

Cao Xiu waited for a long time, but did not see Cao Chun come back.

Cao Xiu knew very well that it was impossible for all the troops outside the city to come in. If they didn't get out quickly, they might be in danger.

"Go. Retreat."

Cao Xiu had no choice but to order a retreat before Cao Chun was reached.

He still had more than 30,000 people in his hand, so he opened the north gate and killed them.

Outside the north gate, Zhang Yu's army rushed over immediately.

The two sides fought fiercely outside the city.

Ling Cao hurried around, sending people from various city gates, trying to put out the fire or open a road.

But in the end all failed.

Ling Cao didn't take care of the army coming out of the north gate,

He has been reported that there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Even if they all ran away, it was not as important as rescuing the soldiers inside.

This night was so sad, Ling Cao and other soldiers were extremely anxious.

Cao Xiu led a charge, fought for almost an hour, and then broke through.

The main reason is that Zhang Yu's army has no intention of fighting, and they are thinking about their comrades in the flames.

The fire had been burning for a long time, and Ling Cao and the others were very slow in their rescue.

Little by little, put out the fire.

All the troops were put into fighting the fire.

In the middle of the night, the fire was slowly extinguished.

Only more than 10,000 troops were rescued in the middle.

It was almost dawn, and the fire was basically extinguished, but the city was also burned to ruins.

Those who were close to the city gate could escape, but the enemies in the sea of ​​fire could not escape.

In the end, only more than 30,000 people came out of it, including Cao's army of more than 10,000 and Zhang Yu's army of more than 20,000.

This battle was very miserable.

Ling Cao's face was ashen.

"General, the fire has been extinguished, but there are very few survivors inside." The soldier said sadly.

Ling Cao burst into tears, these are such good soldiers, they were actually burned to death in the city by the enemy at this time.

Ling Cao stepped on the floor that still had sparks in it, and there were many soldiers of his own lying on the street.

They did not die on the battlefield, but were burned to death by the enemy with fire.

"General, look."

A soldier pointed ahead.

On the street ahead, many soldiers were standing, but on closer inspection they were all dead.

He remained in a fighting stance when he died.

They were suffocated. With the fire, most of the air here was burned up, and they died of lack of oxygen.

However, even if they die, they must maintain a fighting posture and die on the way to battle.

At this moment Ling Cao cried out, tears streaming down silently.

They're all good guys.

"This revenge must be reported."

Yes, if you want revenge, if it is a real sword or a gun, or if you lose in other contests, you have to admit it.

But the enemy used this inhumane and cruel method, which was unacceptable to everyone.

Not only burned them to death, burned themselves to death, but also burned a large number of people in the city.

I don't know how many were burned to death, but two to three hundred thousand, or even more.

When Zhang Yu received the news, he retreated immediately.

There is no point in blocking Cao Jun there.

Zhang Yu hurried back, Ling Cao and others knelt on the ground.

"My lord, my subordinate's dereliction of duty has caused heavy losses to our army. Hundreds of thousands of people died tragically. Please give me my lord's death." Ling Cao knelt on the ground and said.

Zhang Yu's face was dark all the way, and he received all kinds of information on the way here, and he already knew the situation in the city.

"Ling Cao will be dismissed from all positions immediately, and will be sent to a military academy as an instructor, and will be fined for one year," Zhang Yu said.

In the army, rewards and punishments should be clearly defined. Although Ling Cao can't be blamed for this, so many people died at his hands, and punishment must be given.

Punishment is also good for Ling Cao. After the punishment, this matter can be exposed. If there is no punishment, others will continue to use this matter to attack Ling Cao.

Ling Cao knelt down and thanked him.

Zhang Yu entered the scene of fire.

The streets are full of their own soldiers. They have burned foreheads, most of them died of lack of oxygen.

When he died, the formation and formation were not chaotic, and even many people were standing.

Zhang Yu also shed tears all the way.

"Cao Cao, you dare to do such an inhumane thing. No matter how much I, Zhang Yu, fought, I never harmed ordinary people." Zhang Yu was furious, completely furious.
