Three Kingdoms

Chapter 274: Life hangs by a thread

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

Although the walls of the courtyard are made of mud and stone, many of the houses in the courtyard are made of wooden structures. Therefore, when Zheng Ke's soldiers threw the lit thatch inside, it quickly ignited the fire in the courtyard. The house was suddenly filled with fire...

Zheng Ke stood at the door of the small courtyard. In addition to some sword and shield men standing beside him, there were twenty or thirty archers behind him. They all had their bows half-opened and pointed at the door, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

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

Zheng Ke didn't have to come, but he still came in person.

Zheng Ke originally didn't have much hatred for Fei Qian, but Fei Qian happened to meet the soldiers who Zheng Ke had arranged to attack the transport convoy from Luoyang, ruining Zheng Ke's plan and causing the original attack on Fei Qian. Gucheng Dai's plan to intercept the convoy was interrupted.

Gucheng is too close to Luoyang, so many things cannot be carried out. At most, we can only use this small trick. If we really send a large number of soldiers, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Luoyang garrison, and because of the loss of some soldiers, The main reason was that the military commander who led the team was damaged, so we could only secretly let the remaining soldiers sneak back into the pass.

I was originally worried that Guo Pu would find out that one of the missing military commanders was missing, but I didn't expect that Guo Pu would actually lead his troops out of the customs without authorization!

What a God-sent opportunity!

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

If you don't want to leave, then just die here.

Compared to the entire Han Dynasty, what could a mere Heluofei clan count?

Now as long as Fei Qian is dead and we contact him again tomorrow to confirm, we can open the west gate of Hangu Pass and let people from outside the pass in...

Finally, another dead soldier was sent to report the military situation that Guo Pu sent out troops without authorization, resulting in the fall of Hangu Pass due to unmanned garrison...

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, that might muddy the water a little more and buy more time. Anyway, it only takes one month to drag Dong Zhuo out of Hangu Pass. When the Kwantung Allied Forces arrive in Luoyang, it will be the day when the men of Xiliang will be crowned.

Through the soaring flames, Zheng Ke seemed to see a scene in the near future where he would be receiving a reward in the main hall of the North Palace of Luoyang. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed at the door of the small courtyard, and it seemed that someone rushed out despite the fire. The archers behind Zheng Ke quickly released arrows, and only heard a thumping sound. When the black shadow fell to the ground, everyone I discovered 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 arrows...

Chen Junhou, who was in front, saw this and shouted: "Archers take turns firing! Don't fire in volley!"

At this time, Fei Qian and others gathered in the open space of the small courtyard. They could no longer stay in the house. Huang Chengzheng commanded a few soldiers to throw some wooden seats and other things in the courtyard out of the courtyard. In an attempt to consume the archers' arrows, the other is to reduce some combustible materials in the yard.

Huang Cheng observed it and said to Fei Qian: "Fei Langjun, there are too many archers in front of us, so we can't rush forward! What should we do?!"

But failing to get out means being burned alive!

Fei Qian seemed 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 roofs are paved with Chinese tiles, the eaves and beams are all made of wood. Now some of the eaves have been ignited, and they are originally dry wood, so they burn very quickly!

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

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

The temperature around us is getting higher and higher!

The air seems to be a lot thinner too!

The smoke is starting to spread!

Just when Fei Qian and others were choked by the smoke and coughing, and felt extremely uncomfortable, they heard a cry of death coming from the backyard. It turned out that Huang Xu, who had been temporarily arranged in the backyard with his guards, realized something was wrong, rushed over, and took care of the people in the backyard. The few soldiers who were throwing thatch in the wall behind the small courtyard were all killed, and they were about to move forward...

Huang Xu's cry of killing seemed to stimulate Fei Qian, giving him a glimmer of hope! Fei concentrated on thinking, grabbed Huang Cheng and shouted: "Don't hit the front door or hit the courtyard wall!"

Although Fei Qian's words were confusing, Huang Cheng immediately understood what Fei Qian meant, screamed, and then pulled his neck and yelled several times in Jingxiang dialect.

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

With the reinforcements, Fei Qian's brain seemed to have finally started. He pointed at the water tank in the courtyard and shouted: "Dive into the water tank! Soak your whole body!"

Zheng Ke, who was outside the courtyard gate, grabbed the postmaster's collar angrily and shouted: "Aren't they all in the courtyard?! Why are there people outside the courtyard?!"

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

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

Chen Junhou took the order, said hello, and ran towards the backyard with some soldiers to meet Huang Xu and the others...

At this time, the sound of wheels came from the backyard, and then Huang Xu shouted a few times. Huang Cheng heard the words and immediately said: "Spread out and leave the back wall!"

There was a bang, and then another, and a crack suddenly appeared where the back room of the yard was connected to the wall. The tiles on the wall fell down, revealing a small gap!

Just when Huang Xu asked someone to pull the car away and collide again, Chen Junhou arrived with his people. Upon seeing this, without saying a word, he shouted and wielded his knife to kill.

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

"Oops!" Huang Cheng took a few steps and tried his best to pull towards the gap in the yard wall. Unfortunately, he was just two or three palms away and couldn't catch it, so he slipped down again!

Upon seeing this, Fei Qian turned around and saw the water tank with almost bottomed water. He quickly asked someone to carry it over and put it under the gap in the backyard.

Huang Cheng took a few steps back, jumped up, put his foot 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!

Suddenly, everyone inside and outside the courtyard wall, including Feiqian, couldn't help but cheer loudly!

When Chen Junhou saw this, he roared angrily and swung his sword to cut with all his might. He actually used a life-for-life move! Huang Xu was caught off guard and was dodged left and right in a panic. He couldn't help but take a few steps back...

Seeing that Huang Xu had been forced back a little distance, Chen Junhou feinted with his sword, turned around, and led a few soldiers to rush toward the gap in the backyard wall. He raised his knife and slashed at several Cui family 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 confident Mr. Zhuge is?"

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

Ahem...

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