Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 274 Life hangs by a thread

  The flames were raging, and the grass with kerosene burned extremely fast, and there were even some soldiers outside the courtyard throwing thatch into the courtyard...

Although the walls of the yard are made of mud and stone, many of the houses in the yard are made of wooden structures. Therefore, when Zheng Chuan's soldiers threw the ignited thatch into it, it quickly ignited the fire in the yard. The house, up and down, left and right, was all on fire...

  Zheng Chu stood at the gate of the small courtyard, besides some swordsmen and shields standing beside him, there were twenty or thirty archers behind him, all with half-drawn bows, aimed at the door, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

  There is only one door to enter and exit the small courtyard of the post house. Zheng Chu guarded this place, which undoubtedly cut off Fei Qian's last escape route...

   Zheng Chu could not have come, but he still came in person.

For Fei Qian, Zheng Kui didn't have much hatred at first, but it was just that Fei Qian met the soldiers who Zheng Cui arranged to attack the transport convoy from Luoyang at the right time, which destroyed Zheng Cui's plan and led to Gucheng's plan to intercept the convoy came to an end.

Gucheng is too close to Luoyang, and many things cannot be carried out. At most, we can only use such small hands and feet. If we really want to send more soldiers, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Luoyang garrison, and because some soldiers were lost, The main reason is that the military commander who led the team was damaged, so the remaining soldiers could only sneak back into the pass.

   Originally, I was worried that Guo Pu would find out that one of the military officers was missing, but I didn’t expect Guo Pu to lead troops out of the border without authorization!

   What a godsend!

  Originally, Zheng Chu planned to give Fei Qian a way out and let him leave Hangu Pass for Cai Yong's sake, but he didn't expect Fei Qian to be unwilling...

  Since you refuse to leave, let’s die here.

  Compared to the whole Han Guozuo, what is a mere He Luofei?

   Now, as long as Fei Qian dies, and then contact and confirm tomorrow, the west gate of Hangu Pass can be opened, and then people from outside the pass can enter...

  Finally, another dead soldier was sent to report the military situation that Guo Pu sent troops without authorization, resulting in the fall of Hangu Pass due to no one being stationed...

  Perhaps it can also be said that Fei Qian colluded with the Yellow Turbans outside the pass and set fire inside the pass, causing civil strife...

  Well, maybe this can stir the water up a bit and buy more time. Anyway, as long as I can drag out Dong Zhuo's steps at Hangu Pass for a month, when the Kwantung Allied Forces arrive in Luoyang, it will be the day when Xiliang's husband will be conferred.

  Through the blazing flames, Zheng Chu seemed to have seen the scene of accepting the award in the Beigong Hall of Luoyang in the near future, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed at the gate of the small courtyard, as if someone rushed out with fire, the archers behind Zheng Chu hurriedly released arrows, and only heard the sound of tuk tuk tuk, and when the black shadow fell to the ground, all the people It turned out that it was just a bench wrapped in a robe and thrown out...

   Not long after, another black shadow flew out from the door, attracting another batch of arrow rain...

   Chen Junhou, who was in front, saw this and shouted: "The archers shoot in bursts! Don't shoot in salvo!"

At this time, Fei Qian and the others were all gathered in the open space of the small courtyard, and they couldn't stay in the house anymore. Huang Cheng was directing a few soldiers to throw some wooden seats and other things in the courtyard out of the courtyard gate. In an attempt to consume the arrows of the archers, the other is to reduce some combustibles in the yard.

  Huang Cheng observed for a while, and said to Fei Qian: "Mr. Fei Lang, there are too many archers in front, and we can't charge! What should we do?!"

  But failing to get out means being burned alive!

  Fei Qian seems to feel the touch of death!

   In a hurry, Fei Qian's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.

  Although the roof of the house is paved with Chinese tiles, the eaves and girders are all made of wood. Now some eaves have been set on fire, and they are originally dry wood, which burns really fast!

  At this speed, the beam will be burned in another ten minutes!

  After the beam is burnt, even if it is not burned to death, it will be buried alive!

  The surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher!

   The air also seems to be a lot thinner!

   The smoke is starting to spread!

When Fei Qian and the others were coughing and suffering from the smoke, they heard a cry of killing coming from the backyard. It turned out that Huang Xu, who had been temporarily arranged in the backyard before, and his guards found something wrong, so they rushed over and will be in the backyard. The soldiers who threw thatch around the wall at the back of the small courtyard killed all of them, and were about to go forward...

  Huang Xu's killing sound seemed to stimulate Fei Qian, giving him a glimmer of hope! Concentrating on his thoughts, Fei grabbed Huang Chengcheng and shouted, "You can't hit the front door, hit the courtyard wall!"

  Although what Fei Qian said was endless, Huang Cheng immediately understood what Fei Qian meant, screamed, and then pulled his neck and yelled a few times in Jingxiang dialect.

  Huang Xu outside the courtyard wall immediately replied in Jingxiang dialect.

   With reinforcements, Fei Qian's brain seemed to be activated at last, pointing to the water tank in the courtyard, and shouting: "Dive into the water tank! Wet the whole body!"

  Outside the gate of the courtyard, Zheng Chu grabbed the collar of the postmaster angrily, and shouted: "Aren't they all in the courtyard?! Why are there people outside the courtyard?!"

   "The subordinates don't know either! They were still in the yard when I left!"

   Zheng Chuan angrily threw the postmaster to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Chen Junhou, go and stop them!"

   Chen Junhou took the order, greeted him, and ran to the backyard with some soldiers, facing Huang Xu and the others...

  At this time, the sound of wheels came from the backyard, and Huang Xu yelled a few times, Huang Cheng immediately said: "Stay away, leave the back wall!"

   Then there was a bang, and then another bang, a crack was suddenly knocked out at the place where the back room of the courtyard connected to the courtyard wall, and the tiles on the courtyard wall fell down, revealing a small gap!

   Just when Huang Xu asked someone to pull the car away and hit it again, Chen Junhou arrived with his people, and when he saw the situation, he immediately shouted and swung his sword to kill him.

  Huang Xu quickly led a few people to block it...

   "Oops!" Huang Cheng took a few steps towards the run-up, and tried his best to pull towards the gap in the courtyard wall, but it was a pity that he missed the distance of two or three palms and slid down again!

   Seeing this, Feiqian turned around and saw the water tank that had almost bottomed out. He quickly asked someone to carry it over and put it backwards under the gap in the backyard.

  Huang Cheng took a few steps back, jumped up, stepped on the bottom of the water tank, and finally hung on the gap in the courtyard wall, using his strength to climb up the wall!

   Immediately, everyone inside and outside the courtyard wall, including Fiji inside, cheered loudly involuntarily!

   Chen Junhou roared when he saw this, and slashed with his knife without thinking about his own safety. Huang Xu was caught off guard, dodged left and right after being cut into a mess, and couldn't help but take a few steps back...

Seeing that Huang Xu was pushed back a little distance, Chen Junhou swayed his saber, turned around, and led a few soldiers towards the gap in the backyard wall, raised his saber and slashed at the Cui family's guards below the gap. , trying to seize this gap, and block Fei Qian and others back into the yard!

   On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, when discussing the strategy of borrowing arrows, Lu Su asked Kong Ming: "I wonder how sure Mr. Zhuge is?"

   Kong Ming replied: "10 points for grass, 0 points for no."

   Keke...

   One of the unfinished ending branches: Fei Qian was burned to death...
