Chapter 77: Fire Burning Tiger's Lair!

  Kill! Kill!

  The horn of attack sounded, and the mighty army, like a black ant colony, pressed forward in unison, giving people a visual shock!

  The sudden appearance of the offensive had a crushing effect on the morale of the enemy army at Tiger Trap Pass, and Xu Rong was shocked to see it. The calm and collected expression that had remained unchanged for a thousand years was now one of shock, and he angrily shouted at the soldiers on the pass.

  Kill! Countless pairs of bloodshot eyes launched a life-or-death attack, and for a time, the soldiers defending on top of Tiger Trap Pass were heavily suppressed.

  "General! The enemy's attack is too fierce! Our soldiers can't hold on much longer!" A general, covered in blood and armor, ran to Xu Rong's side, panting heavily and shouting hoarsely with a sobbing tone.

  Xu Rongqiang held back the ** in his eyes, looked up and gazed around, only to see that countless compatriots who had been together day and night had greatly decreased, and many familiar faces could no longer be seen.

  Under intense pressure, Xurong closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly opened them and burst out with a cold glow. He said coldly: "Order the soldiers to retreat slowly, not leaving behind any of our men!" "Yes!" The disheveled officers heard this and their faces lit up with great joy, they choked back a sob and roared in response.

  After the exhausted soldiers received the order to retreat, they burst into a loud cheer and began to withdraw from the pass in an orderly manner.

  Guan Yu and other generals hiding among the soldiers took advantage of the moment when the soldiers retreated from the Tiger Trap Pass to climb up to the city tower, scrambling to occupy a place, waiting for the soldiers still at the pass to slowly come up.

  "Haha! The Western Liang army is retreating! Kill the commander! Let the enemy general go!" Yuan Shao shouted to his soldiers with great joy when he saw the enemy starting to retreat from the pass.

  The news of the Western Xia army's retreat spread throughout the battlefield, and the eighteen armies erupted with unparalleled momentum, their morale greatly boosted.

  "General! If we don't leave now, it will be too late!" A deputy general covered in blood and wounds hastily ran to Xu Rong's side and begged loudly.

  "Hmm! Xurong took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with a cruel light as he gazed at the eighteen vassals who had already revealed victorious smiles on their faces. He smiled coldly to himself and said: 'Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank of the river, let's see if you'll still be smiling then!'"

  He gazed deeply at the large flag with the word "Xu" on the city wall, then waved his long spear and shouted coldly: "Withdraw!" He then followed his personal soldiers down from the city wall.

  Kill! The Tiger Trap Pass was filled with the angry roars of the eighteen vassal states' soldiers! This pass had been withstanding everyone for over a month, as if their hearts were being heavily pressed by a great mountain. Today, they finally took it down and let out a loud roar, venting the repression that had built up over a month.

  Behind the Tiger Trap Pass, in a dense forest, two men rode fiery red high-headed horses, holding equally large painted halberds, their eyes gleaming with spirit as they gazed at the thick smoke emanating from the Tiger Trap Pass.

  "It seems that Xurong can't hold on anymore, is Fengxian brother ready?" Autumn water coldly gazed at the direction of Tiger Trap Pass for a while before turning her head to look at Lü Bu beside her.

  Lü Bu's mouth curled up into a ruthless and cold smile as he heard Qiu Shui's inquiry, his eyes bursting with fervent gaze towards Qiu Shui. He swung the halberd in his hand, creating a shrill whistling sound that pierced through the air. In a cold voice, he said: "My halberd is already starving and thirsty! Haha!"

  After that, the two of them looked at each other and simultaneously stretched out their scarlet tongues to lightly lick their dry lips. A bloodthirsty glow burst forth from their eyes, and behind them were countless iron cavalry.

  Xu Rong led the remaining soldiers to slowly retreat, leaving behind a field of corpses. At this time, Xu Rong's heart was like being cut by a knife, but he knew that as a general, he absolutely could not let emotions get in the way. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and calmly commanded the soldiers beside him to slowly withdraw.

  Kill! Charging in the front were Guan Yu, Taishi Ci and other fierce generals. These fierce generals led their soldiers to press tightly against the retreating Western Liang army.

  In the brief moment of a thousand years, Xu Rong seemed to have walked for thousands of years. When he saw the last gate, tears appeared in his eyes, and with a fierce gaze, he turned to look at the enemy general who was chasing him relentlessly behind him, and roared at the soldiers beside him: "Withdraw quickly!"

  When Xu Rong led his men out of the city gate, a cruel smile spread across his face as he coldly ordered: "Give General Ben the signal!"

  Whoosh! A rocket soared into the sky, shooting up into the heavens, standing out so prominently in the dark sky.

  Tiger Trap Pass was built on the mountain, with high mountains on both sides. When a rocket shot into the sky, bursts of gunfire came from the treetops on the peaks of the two mountains beside Tiger Trap Pass.

  Whoosh! Suddenly, countless whistling sounds echoed through the sky. From the mountain tops on both sides of Tiger Trap Pass, numerous rockets shot out, descending from the heavens like a fiery rain, appearing above Tiger Trap Pass in a dazzling display!

  At this time, Cao Cao and other lords had already entered the Tiger Trap Pass. When all the lords were excited, they suddenly saw countless fire rains in the sky and were shocked!

  "This is terrible! We've been tricked!" Cao Cao roared in anger, his hands trembling as he pointed at the chaotic scene inside Hu Lao Gate, where the ground was covered with dry firewood and other flammable materials.

  "Hurry! Sound the gong and retreat!" Yuan Shao shouted with a pale face after seeing that the land of Guanzhong was filled with flammable materials.

  Ding ding ding! The metallic clanging sound of the golden drum echoed through the air, and just as the cheering soldiers were still celebrating their victory, they suddenly heard the sound of the golden drum coming from their own camp and were shocked. Suddenly, the inside of Hu Lao Pass was a sea of flames!

  The houses in the Tiger Trap Pass and the tents that were not dismantled in time were filled with dry firewood, and on top of the firewood was poured a large amount of oil. When the fire rain from the sky came into contact with it, the entire Tiger Trap Pass instantly turned into a sea of flames.

  "Ah~ Autumn water, I will kill you! Pfft!" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both spat out a mouthful of blood as they saw the Tiger Trap Pass turn into a sea of flames in an instant, and let out a loud roar.

  The rest of the vassals' faces turned pale, their eyes disbelieving as they stared at the sea of flames before them, their bodies trembling with fear.

  The sea of fire in the Tiger's Mouth Pass was like a ferocious beast, mercilessly devouring fresh lives. The sea of fire was filled with mournful cries and pleas for help, making one shiver with fear.

  "Hurry! Clear the road and let the army retreat!" Cao Cao bellowed to the soldiers beside him.

  When the rest of the lords heard Cao Cao's angry roar, they also reacted and knew that they should hurry to rescue as many people as possible. At this time, the main force had almost all entered the Tiger Trap Pass.

  When the big fire broke out in Hu Lao Pass and completely cut off the retreat of the soldiers in front, Guan Yu and others were stunned, and they didn't expect to fall into the enemy's trap when they were still pursuing their victory, and the soldiers around them were in a state of great disorder.

  "Hah! Xu Chu, holding a large sword, beheaded a shouting soldier and roared in a gloomy face: "Those who disturb the military heart will be beheaded!" At the same time, he shouted at the other generals: "Don't you hurry to gather your troops? The Western Liang army is coming soon!"

  After hearing Xu Chu's angry roar, the other generals reacted one after another and quickly gathered their troops to form a strong fighting force. PS: Sorry, overslept, update is a bit late, extremely sorry.
