Chapter 963 Self-Immolation

boom!

The corpse of a Xiliang soldier fell from the top of the inner city and fell headfirst to the ground. His expression instantly froze.

A dead soldier from the Yuan Army had a cold expression. He took a step forward with a ring-shou sword in his hand, aimed at a Xiliang soldier, and then swept over him. The Xiliang soldier used his sword to resist, but unexpectedly, the dead soldier didn't care about his own vitals at all. , constantly attacking the opponent is a completely lifeless style of play.

As the saying goes, the soft is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the violent, and the violent is afraid of life. At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the famous Sun Enlu Xun uprising broke out in the land of Sanwu. Relying on the Five Pecks of Rice Religion, they set off a massive turmoil in the southeast. At that time, Liu Yu was not the famous Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, but he was just a squad leader in the Beifu Army who was ordered to go out for investigation.

As luck would have it, Liu Yu and more than a dozen people encountered a rebel army of more than a thousand people. The rebels bullied Liu Yu because of his small number, and came forward to besiege him. Liu Yu's subordinates were unable to defeat him with just two fists, and they died one after another. , only Liu Yu struggled to support him.

It happened that Liu Jingxuan, the son of Liu Laozhi, the famous general of Beifu, led his army to help. The rebels were afraid, but Liu Yu was furious. He was covered in blood alone and chased after the rebels and refused to relax. No one among thousands of people dared to look back. Liu Yu was killed. Yu killed heads all over the ground.

Although the martial arts of these dead soldiers of the Yuan Army were far inferior to Liu Yu's, they still showed a very strong fighting power despite their own life and death, and killed the Xiliang Army in retreat. Hao Zhao was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and kill him several times, but Shen Rong persuaded him to stop him.

"Captain Hao, don't be angry. The armies of Xu Zhenbei and Marquis Wen have now entered the city and are expected to arrive here soon. Then tens of thousands of troops will launch a fierce attack from all sides. The defenders in the city will not be able to withstand it no matter what." Shen Rongku advised.

"Kill!"

At this moment, faint shouts of killing came from behind Hao Zhaojun. It was Lu Bu and Xu Huang's other troops who broke through the remaining three city gates and were converging towards the inner city. The entire Peiping city was full of people. The outside was filled with murderous shouts.

"Great, if this happens, the inner city will be destroyed!" Hao Zhao said in surprise.

And since Hao Zhao could hear the killing cries behind him, Shen Pei above the city head naturally heard them too.

"Military advisor, the situation is not good." Ma Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in fear: "I'm afraid Xu Huang and Lu Bu's troops have already poured into the city, and we can't resist them."

The judge was silent for a while, thinking: The lord's body is still in the inner city. Once it falls into the hands of Liu Yuqing, he will definitely not let go of the lord's body to demonstrate to the world. The lord's body must not fall into Liu Ye's hands.

"Ma Yan. Order the whole army to burn the city." Shen Pei said every word, as if each word was as heavy as a lead weight.

Ma Yan's expression also changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Strategy advisor, is this, is this?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If this continues, the city will be captured by the enemy sooner or later. How can I, the judge, be caught by the enemy?" The judge said coldly: "Execute quickly!"

"Here"

"Bo Dao, you did a good job, leave it to us next!"

Xu Huang rode his horse and rushed into the city. Behind him were thousands of Xiliang troops. They let out loud shouts and rushed to the vicinity of the inner city. They were like a huge torrent, mighty and powerful. Unstoppable.

"The whole army attacks! Whoever can catch Shen Pei will be promoted to the third level! Whoever can capture Yuan Shao alive will be made a marquis!" Xu Huang yelled.

"Capture Shen Pei, capture Yuan Shao!"

Hearing Xu Huang's temptation, tens of thousands of Jizhou troops became excited in an instant. They wanted to be granted the title of marquis! Being a marquis is not something that can be done casually, because being a marquis means owning a fief, which can be passed down from generation to generation! It is equivalent to a small independent kingdom. The marquises of the Han Dynasty are mainly divided into three levels: Tinghou, Xianghou, and County Marquis, which means the scope of the marquis' fiefdom. For example, if Guan Yu is the Han Shouting Hou, then the Han Shouting Hou Taxes do not have to be paid to the state and can be used by oneself.

In this way, not only will you be rich, but your children and grandchildren will have no worries about food and drink, and they will never starve to death. Who can not be tempted?

"Kill!"

The morale of tens of thousands of Xiliang troops was at its peak, and they rushed towards the inner city from all sides. Under the impact of tens of thousands of troops like a torrent of iron armor, even the solid inner city of Beiping seemed to become small and about to be shaken. .

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Suddenly, tens of thousands of troops stopped, because they all looked at the top of the city in confusion. Shen Pei held the torch high and laughed loudly.

Naturally, all the Xiliang soldiers were confused: What is this man laughing at? what's so funny?

"Hahahaha! You don't need to do anything, I'm ready to end my own life!"

Shen Pei shouted loudly: "I will show you today that even if I am betrayed by my relatives, Beiping City will never fall into the hands of the enemy. I will not let down the trust entrusted by my lord!"

After saying that, Shen Pei threw down the torch resolutely.

boom!

I saw that the entire inner city of Beiping suddenly burst into flames. The huge flames engulfed the entire city, and screams and wails could be heard.

"Fire oil! The enemy has poured fire oil in the inner city!"

"Oh my God. This."

Tens of thousands of Xiliang troops looked at the inner city of Beiping that was engulfed in flames, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Even though Fu Jian claimed that his army could cut off the current with a whip, it could not avoid the roar of the wind, the roar of the cranes, and the soldiers. In the face of the power of nature, any individual is insignificant.

Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Hao Zhao, Shen Rong and others were also shocked. They did not expect that this Shen Pei would be so cruel. He was cruel to his enemies, but even more cruel to himself! Burn the city directly.

Shen Rong was surprised at first, and then couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry loudly.

"Uncle, uncle, why did you burn the city?"

Shen Pei takes Shen Rong with him for training and treats him as his biological son. Naturally, this relationship is not fake. The reason why Shen Rong left the city and surrendered was because he saw that nothing could be done and he did not want to die for the Yuan family, but also to find a way out for the Shen family.

But Shen Pei's character was too upright, similar to Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others. They were all the same type of people. They would rather die for the old master than surrender to the new master.

Looking at the inner city of Beiping burning in the fire, Xu Huang couldn't help but sigh: "There are many righteous people in Hebei, and the first one is Shen Zhengnan. Yuan Shao is so lucky, and despite his ignorance, there are such loyal people as Tian Feng, Ju Shou and Shen Pei." Scholars assist you, but you don’t listen to your loyal ministers, alas!”

Many people on the side also had mixed feelings, but the biggest feeling in their hearts was shock. No one could have imagined that Shen Pei would do such an amazing thing and set the entire inner city on fire. It was really unexpected.
