Just as Lin Meng was attacking Xiapi and chasing away Liu Bei, Dongling County was engaged in a life-and-death battle. The attackers were Guan Hai and Pei Yuanshao. Both of them had a deep grudge against Meng Lin. After hearing the news that Meng Lin had attacked Xiapi, they had mobilized their troops from the battle. In total, they had sent 50,000 men over.
Dongling County only had 3,000 new soldiers, so it was extremely difficult for them to resist.
"Hahaha, all of you, charge! After we take down Dongling County, we will let you plunder for three days!”Pei Yuan Shao roared excitedly.
Du He's face was full of anxiety. He kept leading his men to kill. The blood on his body was unknown whether it was his enemy's or his own, but it had already dyed the entire armor red.
However, no matter how hard he tried, his subordinates were still falling rapidly in front of the enemy that was more than ten times stronger.
"Mr. Cheng Yu, we can't hold on any longer.”Du He shouted anxiously," We've been fighting for more than a day. There are only less than a thousand men left from my three thousand men. They might not even be able to hold on tonight. I'll send someone to escort you out of the encirclement." Sir is a genius of the world. Our lord cannot live without him. Even if we all die, we cannot let him die.”
"If I run, what about Mistress?" Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
This question stunned Du He. He shouted gloomily,"Of course, the matriarch broke out of the encirclement with them. How could she leave her behind? My lord must tear me apart."
"Hahaha." Cheng Yu laughed loudly." General Du He, you are loyal enough. But have you ever thought that the Yellow Turban bandits are everywhere outside? Can we really charge out?"”
"Even if we can't rush out, we have to rush out. Are we really going to stay here and wait for death?”"I can defend the Eastern Tomb to the death, but you and Mistress must leave."”
"Who said we were waiting for death?" Cheng Yu asked with a faint smile.
"What does Sir mean?" Du He asked in confusion.”
"General, do you know what my lord means by sending people to transfer the refugees as soon as the war starts?”Cheng Yu asked with a smile.
Du He's eyes lit up. Actually, Dongling County was already empty. Ever since Meng Lin started fighting, Cheng Yu had started to move the refugees to the new territory. Now, there were only these people in Dongling County.
"Sir, do you mean that you had already expected this day to come?”Du He asked excitedly.
"That's right. I'm not the only one who expected it. Even our lord has long expected it.”Cheng Yu sneered." General Du He, persevere. It's fine even if you beat everyone up. If you really can't hold on any longer, evacuate to the granary. Mistress and I will wait for you there."”
"Granary?" Du He's eyes lit up. He wasn't stupid. There must be a way out of the granary, so he agreed excitedly.
Seeing Cheng Yu leave slowly, Du He shouted excitedly,""Brothers, hold on and kill them.”
The battle resumed. The defenders on the city walls were all fighting with all their might, but facing the tide of enemies, their numbers were getting smaller and smaller. From 3,000 to 1,000, from 1,000 to 500, there were only 300 or so people left, and all of them were injured.
"General Du, our brothers can't hold on any longer. What should we do?”A soldier covered in blood said sadly,""Will we all die here?”
The soldiers were stunned, unable to react in time. Wouldn't retreating into the city be a dead end? However, since Du He had given the order, everyone could only follow him and run desperately to the granary.
Du He led his men to the granary, panting. The entire city was already filled with Yellow Turban thieves.
"Lord Cheng Yu, Mistress, what should we do now?”Du He asked anxiously.
Cheng Yu and Cai Wenji waited calmly. After seeing Du He, Cheng Yu said,"General Du He, you've worked hard. A month ago, I had already sent people to secretly dig a tunnel in the granary.”
"Really? Mister is wise." Du He was overjoyed, and so were the soldiers behind him.
"Uncle Cheng, are we starting now?" Cai Wenji asked with a smile.”
"You can start now. I, Cheng Yu, have been setting up here for so long that Pei Yuan Shao and Guan Hai's hearts will ache.”Cheng Yu laughed sinisterly. Then, he shouted at a man in black,""Quick, light the fire."
Boom!
It was unknown where the fire started, but the entire Dongling County was suddenly surrounded by fire. A large number of buildings were set on fire, and the entire county became a sea of fire. The ground had been covered with hay and pine oil, and a large amount of liquor had been poured into the city. Now, it was all burning crazily.
"Not good, there's a fire. Stop snatching things and run!”
"Fire, everyone, put out the fire. Don't panic.”
"F * ck, anyone who blocks my way will die.”
The Yellow Turban bandits in the entire city were in chaos, while Guan Hai and Pei Yuan Shao, who had just reached the city gate, were dumbfounded. The fire was so fierce that more than half of the 50,000 people who had entered the city did not have time to run out. They were swallowed alive by the fire, and miserable screams echoed in the night sky.
" Despicable! Shameless! Despicable!" "Meng Lin, I'm going to kill you!" Guan Hai roared angrily.”
Pei Yuan Shao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with hatred.
At this moment, everyone in the granary was also stunned. Everyone subconsciously shivered and looked at Cheng Yu in horror.
"When this scholar is ruthless, he's simply not human. Tens of thousands of people were burned to ashes. It's too terrifying.”Du He muttered with a bitter smile.
Cheng Yu smiled in satisfaction and said confidently,""Everyone, we can go and meet up with the lord. I believe the lord has already taken Xiapi City.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082420183:16PM
