Chapter 74 The First Fire

The dry wheat stems were originally flammable, and they were poured with a lot of tinder oil, which burned at a glance. Six or seven thousand bundles of wheat stems were thrown in a mess between the roads, mixed with the second Xianbei 1,000 cavalry team. The Xianbei cavalry was stunned by this sudden change and ran around in a panic. For a while, people trampled on horseback and became a mess.

At this moment, rockets fell from the sky, and then strong flames rose.

Six or seven thousand bundles of wheat stems burned in a very short time. The wheat stems poured with tinder oil pulled out a few meters high of flames, and the "huh" sounded. The fire surging for a moment, and soon became a sea of ​​fire, gradually swallowing the Xianbei cavalry trapped in it.

Some Xianbei cavalry escaped fortunately, but before they could have time to be glad, they were killed by sharp arrows. Although there were only 200 people in the Divine Bow Division, they were all magical archers chosen from thousands. Each sharp arrow would take away the humble life of a Xianbei person. These dizzy Xianbei people suddenly became their best targets!

The more than 6,000 bundles of wheat were not much dispersed, and it didn't burn for long. But soon, the Xianbei people and horses that were swallowed by the flames also started to burn.

The first thing to burn was a war horse with long hair. When the horse's hair was fired faster than anything else when it encountered fire, the clothes on the Xianbei people also burned, which only added to the ignition. Later, the bodies of the Xianbei people, flames also appeared on the war horses, making a "crackling" sound. The flames suddenly rose several feet higher, and the fire increased several times. The smell of barbecue was floating everywhere in Dingxi City.

Flames, the sky, people neigh, and horses roar! The various Xianbei people danced in the sea of ​​fire! Singing songs in the troubled times!

The thousand Xianbei cavalry walking in front were lucky. As soon as they passed, a wheat pole appeared behind them, followed by a sky full of fire. The heat waves rolled in. The war horses under their foot were immediately frightened and completely lost control. They rushed forward and were still moving forward steadily. The iron cavalry that was suddenly mad and suddenly collided with each other. They pushed and squeezed into a mess.

When Huangfu Jian saw the fire burning sky behind, he had a cold smile on his handsome face, and he drank comfortably with a teacup in his hand, and he smacked his lips with endless aftertaste.

"Ajiu, hit the bell!" Huangfu Jian didn't look at it, and he knew that the first thousand cavalry team of the Xianbei people had arrived at the avenue where Yanxing and Pang De's personal guard camp was ambushed.

"Bon, Bond, Bond" a crisp golden bell sounded. Although the bell sounds are not as powerful as the war drums, the sound quality is more exciting and penetrating, and can be clearly heard in any corner of Dingxi City.

Yan Xing followed Huangfu Jian for many years. Although he was still young, he was also considered a veteran who had been through the battle formation for a long time. He stood quietly on the east side of the East and West Avenue with five hundred personal guards, listening to the screams from the Xianbei people and smelling the burnt smell in the air, his blood was boiling. The soldiers of the entire army were even ready to charge, and they would just wait for Huangfu Jian to order him and then emit a thunderous blow.

Pang De, the deputy commander of the Prince Guard Battalion, is still young and it is the first time he has participated in such a large-scale war. He is a little nervous. He looks at the Xianbei Iron Cavalry screaming in the fires, and feels creepy and chill all over. He subconsciously tightens the sword in his hand, as if he is seeking a kind of spiritual comfort, and has a more fear of Huangfu Jian. Looking back at the five hundred Prince Guard Battalion soldiers behind him, they are standing solemnly, ready to go, and their bodies are filled with a murderous aura. Pang De's emotions have stabilized.

Just as the elite troops of a thousand personal guards were fully focused and waiting for an opportunity to go, a bell of "boiling, boiling, boiling" came, which was the order to order them to attack.

"Personal Guard, attack!" Yan Xing, Pang De raised his sword high and shouted in unison.

More than a thousand cavalrymen came from both sides of the east and west avenues to the Xianbei iron cavalry on the north and south avenues. They shouted and killed each other and were shocked, and their murderous aura soared into the sky.

Seeing that the thousand cavalry of the Xianbei people were separated into two parts, Huangfu Jian slowly stood up and shouted loudly: "Stop retreating, the front team turns to the back team, the back team becomes the front team, and start counterattack!"

More than 300 people ordered the orders and quickly turned their horses to rush towards the panicked Xianbei cavalry. Huangfu Jian stood high on the war god carriage, holding a spear, majestic, and his eyes were filled with divine tigers looking at the entire battlefield.

"Kill!" Three hundred personal guards raised their spears and rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry.

Yan Xing came from the east and Pang De came from the west. The two rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry in the middle like two beasts. The two attacked fiercely and quickly swept away the Xianbei cavalry in front of them, and a thousand Xianbei cavalry were also cut off by them.

"Let Ming lead his troops to attack north, and I will lead his troops to attack south!" Yan Xing and Pang De soon joined together, and Yan Xing ordered Pang De.

"No!" Pang De agreed and the Xianbei Iron Cavalry who turned to the northern section with the five hundred elite cavalry and killed him.

Yan Xing and Pang De were both good at using swords. Two long swords, one south and one north, were crisscrossed among the Xianbei iron cavalry, causing a ray of sword light. All the Xianbei people who stood in front of them were split in half!

"Kill!" Seeing that the general is so brave, everyone is brave and strives for the first place.

Although the north and south roads of Dingxi City are quite wide, they are used as roads. However, as the battlefield of the two armies, it is too narrow. The four horses cannot be used side by side, so they can only fight side by side. Yan Xing and Pang De each stood in front, and waved their big swords, and they did not lose the least of the enemy. The soldiers of the personal guard camp behind him could not touch the enemy at all, and could only shoot and kill them with strong bows.

The fire became increasingly larger and gradually spread around. None of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry who was trapped in the sea of ​​fire could remain intact. The grease was rising in the fire, making a "crackling" sound. The Divine Bow tribes and two hundred guards who were ambushing on both sides also felt the heat waves attacking their bodies. It was meaningless for them to stay here again.

"Retreat!" With the order of "Heizi", four hundred people retreated quietly from both sides. They quickly gathered on the east and west avenue and saw that there were crowds of people fighting on both sides, and there were shouts of killing everywhere, but there was no place for them to intervene, so they could only wait there helplessly to watch others lively.

The nine thousand iron cavalry was winding dozens of miles on the road. The forward young coach Putou was in the middle of the third thousand-man team. When bundles of wheat stalks poured with tinder oil were thrown towards the second thousand-man team, the third thousand-man team, which was close to the second thousand-man team, stopped urgently. Although the formation had begun to be messy, it still stopped immediately. Only a few desperate heads rushed in.

"Stop, stop quickly!" The young commander Putou was not a person who was famous for his reputation. He still had some real talent and knowledge. He immediately understood that they were really hit and immediately sent a letter to stop advancing.

Shortly after the young marshal Putou issued the order, a raging fire ignited in front of him. Looking at the Xianbei cavalry who were trapped in it, the miserable look of struggling in the fire, and the cry of despair before death. Putou was also heartbroken, his eyes were red, like a mad tiger. The passion that he had just had to have lunch in Fuping City ran away without a trace, and all that was left was boundless regret.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Putou glanced at the vulture Qu beside him weakly and shouted regretfully.

Within a day, only seven thousand cavalry were left. And only one thousand cavalry of the vulture fought a battle head-on with the Han army. The other two thousand cavalry died unknown. The Han military strategy made Putou, the number one warrior in Xianbei, very afraid. Until now, he still didn't know who his opponent was.

The young coach Putou was both hated and afraid, but he was more grateful. If he hadn't been entangled by the Qu guard's vulture for a while, he would have struggled in the fire like the thousand Xianbei cavalry!

Seven thousand devastated Xianbei cavalry slowly retreated to the north gate of Dingxi City, and no longer had the previous arrogance.

The battle in the city did not last long, and a thousand panicked Xianbei cavalry were killed by 1,300 soldiers of the personal guard camp.

The sun was in the sky, and the fighting gradually stopped. The fire was still burning, reflecting the red of half of the sky. From time to time, the sound of oil explosions of "Ka, Ka" came from the fire, and the entire Dingxi City was shrouded in a strong burnt smell.

The Xianbei war horse, who had lost its master, stood there, sniffing the bloody body of his master, and let out a cry of sadness or two from time to time.
