Chapter 89: Dong Zhuo's Ruthlessness!

  No one retreated, the Western Liang army had been given a death order by Dong Zhuo: retreat and be beheaded! The eighteen vassals did not give orders, but all soldiers saw the approaching fire knowing that once they retreated, it would mean certain death, being burned alive! At this point, they had no way out, only to fight their way out, and the soldiers under the command of the eighteen vassals' eyes burst forth with a frenzy, charging forward without regard for life or death.

  The fire borrowed the wind, getting bigger and bigger. The scarlet flames illuminated Dong Zhuo's ferocious face, only to see Dong Zhuo staring at the big fire in the valley, his eyes shining with ruthlessness.

  At this time, behind Dong Zhuo were countless iron cavalrymen, and at this time, the one who was with Dong Zhuo was his son-in-law Li Ru. It seems that Dong Zhuo is indeed afraid of death, and he has led all the cavalry in the army to follow him, fearing that when there is danger, he will abandon these 100,000 infantrymen and escape alone with his 50,000 iron cavalry.

  The big fire is getting bigger and bigger, and has begun to spread to the eighteen vassal states. At this time, the original military camp was already a sea of flames. All the soldiers saw it and burst out in an uncontrollable frenzy.

  At this time, the 20,000 soldiers originally deployed by Dong Zhuo at the valley entrance had begun to slowly disperse under the opponent's desperate and crazy attack. If there was no support, these 20,000 soldiers would be defeated in an instant.

  Charging at the forefront were Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, fierce generals who let out thunderous roars, their blades dancing wildly as they took away piece after piece of vibrant life.

  Just as Zhao Yun and others were about to defeat the 20,000 enemy troops in front of them, Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless color, coldly saying: "Set fire!"

  Kill! The enemy is defeated! Kill out! Charge!

  The enemy army was finally defeated by the soldiers led by Zhao Yun, and at this time, the eighteen vassals' soldiers who filled the fields all let out a loud roar, their eyes bursting with a desperate desire to survive.

  Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw the soldiers in front of them finally defeat the enemy's blocking troops, a look of satisfaction flashed across their faces, but it was immediately replaced by extreme horror!

  "Traitor Dong! You really want to exterminate me completely!" With a loud roar, Yuan Shao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse, fainting away. His personal guards rushed over to check on their lord's condition.

  While other princes actually saw but did not see, they stared blankly at the front, their eyes filled with despair!

  It turned out that after Zhao Yun and others led the soldiers to defeat the enemy, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to set fire. The front was filled with dry hay and flammable materials, and a big fire broke out, blocking not only the way of the eighteen vassals but also cutting off the lives of the 20,000 soldiers who were about to fight against the eighteen vassals.

  "Ah! Don't! Master, we're still inside!"

  "Dong Zei, you are a treacherous beast! We followed you to battlefields in vain. How could you be so ruthless!"

  At this time, the remaining tens of thousands of Western Liang soldiers were left with only a few thousand men, and they all shouted in unison.

  When the sound of shouting reached Dong Zhuo's ears outside the valley, Dong Zhuo's face turned iron-green, and he let out a cruel cold laugh, muttering to himself as he looked at his hands: "This is power! This is the absolute power that brings life and death with one word! Haha!"

  Dong Zhuo's maniacal laughter sent chills down the spines of Li Ru and other officers beside him, filling their hearts with a sense of foreboding. Meanwhile, Dong Zhuo was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he failed to notice the changing gazes of the soldiers around him.

  Ah! Heaven will kill you, treacherous Dong! You won't die a good death!

  You villain, you have lost all sense of conscience, we will wait for you on the road to the underworld!

  At this time, a burst of curses rose from the valley, which later turned into miserable cries and coughs, and the voices slowly weakened.

  Two hours later, the valley had become a purgatory, with countless charred corpses piled up like mountains, and the air was filled with a strong smell of roasted meat.

  Ugh!

  When the air drifted out of the valley with the wind, countless people in the Western Cool Army began to vomit one after another. Although many of them were seasoned veterans, this was the first time they had smelled such a strong smell of human flesh. A feeling of nausea and fear rose from the bottom of their hearts. It's not just the enemy inside the valley, but also many comrades who were still playing together two days ago, now thoroughly asleep in the mountain valley.

  At this time, after smelling the countless thick roasted human flesh smell in the air, all the soldiers' faces turned green, and their eyes staring at Dong Zhuo's ferocious face in front of them, a chill rose up in their hearts, piercing through their spine to their brain, causing a numbness on their scalp. Meanwhile, the Xiliang generals who had been gazing at Dong Zhuo with fervor now looked at him with fear, fearing that they might be the next ones to be abandoned!

  Li Ru glanced sideways and saw the expressions in the eyes of the soldiers, his heart was shocked, he quickly pulled Dong Zhuo to persuade him, hurry up and stop this crazy laughter, if it goes on like this, the military's morale will be lost!

  Rumble!

  Just then a deafening noise rang out, interrupting Li Ru's words. Li Ru's face changed color and turned pale with fright, exclaiming: "Your Excellency, quickly! Prepare the army for battle!"

  Dong Zhuo was still immersed in his own fantasy world when he was suddenly interrupted by Li Ru, who asked suspiciously: "The rebels have all been burned to death, so who are we preparing for battle against?"

  Just as he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo had already heard the sound of iron hooves coming from afar. As a lord skilled in deploying cavalry, how could Dong Zhuo not recognize what this was? He asked in alarm: "Who? Whose cavalry is this?"

  Li Ru's face turned pale, and he trembled as he shouted: "My lord, quickly assemble the troops and prepare for battle. This must be the cavalry of Qiu Shui and Lü Bu's rebels!"

  Dong Zhuo was shocked, his face no longer had the previous madness, and with trembling hands pointing at the generals behind him, he roared: "Prepare for battle!"

  Dong Zhuo's loud roar instantly spread throughout the army, and the troops quickly changed formation to prepare for battle. Unfortunately, although the soldiers began to change formations with conditioned reflexes, they were all stimulated by Dong Zhuo's cruelty earlier, especially with the smell of human flesh still lingering in the air. The speed of the entire army was listless, several times slower than usual.

  The big fire in the valley burned for two hours, and at this time, the newly born sun had just revealed its head, sprinkling a layer of twilight on this land.

  Boom! Kill!

  A loud rumbling sound erupted, and two figures with crimson red hair, holding halberds, appeared in sight as if descending from the heavens. The two let out a furious roar, swung their halberds, and countless iron cavalry swarmed forth from behind them. The thunderous sounds continued to reverberate, and countless black iron flows emerged on the ground, wielding cold, gleaming blades, charging towards the Western Liang army.

  Fierce tiger! Flying general!

  When they saw clearly who was in front of them, the entire Western Xia army was filled with gasps, and their trembling teeth shouted in terror.

  Wow! It was as if a contagious flu had spread, and in an instant the entire Western Xia army seemed to have lost its strength, staring at the two people who appeared before their eyes with terror, even many soldiers' weapons began to tremble.
