The long absence of rain had made the entire forest extremely dry, and at this moment, the power of glycerin suddenly crackled, and the fire quickly crossed the dense forest in an unstoppable stance, enveloping some of the slow Lannister soldiers in it.

The flames are actually fine, but the deadliest thing is the rising smoke!

Not only can the smoke choke people to death in a very short time, but most importantly, they block the view. The soldiers couldn't see the road ahead, and they felt the fire around them getting bigger and bigger, so they ran faster and faster. In this way, a certain degree of stampede inevitably occurred, and many soldiers were not burned to death and choked to death, but were squeezed down and trampled to death by their companions, which was quite miserable.

As for the flagless army, they quickly retreated back as early as the moment of arson, because the retreat route had been arranged before, so there was no commotion, and a thousand people withdrew from the dense forest in a neat manner, and then retreated to Harrenhal.

On the other side, there were too many Lannister soldiers trapped in the dense forest, and it was also blamed that they were too deep, and at this time, thousands of people were trapped in the thick of the flames and could not get out, and the screams were incessant, and they were extremely terrible.

"Help me, I don't want to be burned!!"

"I can't see, my eyes!

"Ahem! ahem, ahem, ahem......"

In the chaos and disorder, people kept falling to the ground in the firelight, and the flames also burned many large trees. The power of these big trees was also amazing, and many soldiers were smashed under them during the run, and their hope of survival was cut off.

For a while, the entire dense forest became a hell on earth, and the soldiers who withdrew first had nothing to do when they saw this, if there was an enemy on the other side, then they could draw their swords and slash and kill. But when the enemy is not man but nature, how can we resist?

"Damn! Mugwort... Ahem, Ivy Crane!!" Jaime roared, looking at the soldiers trapped in the woods and unable to escape, his heart aching, and he was filled with great hatred for the perpetrators.

"That guy is too ruthless..."The little devil also came to the side at this time, he was also disgraced, and he was almost knocked down when he retreated just now. And once his figure falls, it is estimated that he will have to face a trampling to death.

But now he is not afraid of death, but shocked by the fire, "Burning this centuries-old jungle, that guy is really unscrupulous for victory, I still lost this time." As soon as the little devil finished speaking, he felt a huge force coming, and he was pulled in front of him by Jaime.

"I'm telling you!' it's not a game!" Jaime glared and gritted his teeth, "It's war! Losing means dead!

"Of course I understand, brother!" the little devil broke away and said with an unkind expression, "But what's the use of you being angry with me now?

"How to save it?!" Jaime was a little overwhelmed, he looked at the fire in front of him, and knew that if he rushed in, let alone save people, he was afraid that even those who rushed in would have to die inside. In this case, how could he let people go to death.

"Of course you use water to fight fires!" the little devil rolled his eyes, "Take out the fresh water you carry, you should be able to save a lot of people......"

Fresh water?

When Jaime heard this, he thought about it, this fresh water is a must-have for the army, especially this kind of team of tens of thousands of people, there is a huge demand for fresh water every day, so he brought a lot of it, in order to prevent it from being collected on the way to the army.

But now that this is happening, it's clear that some of it is going to be used. Thinking of this, Jaime no longer hesitated, and went directly to the soldiers to unload the buckets on the car behind, and then threw buckets at the edge of the dense forest, and then every time the fire was a little smaller, he tried to find a few people with wet cloths all over his body, and rushed in to save one or two people back.

The rescue operation lasted nearly two hours, and when the fresh water ran out of use, Jaime counted carefully, and probably rescued more than 200 soldiers.

But even if they are rescued, these soldiers are all badly burned and may live for a while, but the battle will never be possible.

After a rough count of the number of the whole army, there were only more than 36,000 left at this time of the 40,000 people at the time of departure. This fire burned all the hundred-year-old forest, and the four thousand Lannister soldiers were laid to rest here along with the trees.

"Damn it......" Jaime seemed to age two years in an instant, leaning back on the cart with a dejected expression, his eyes lowered.

This is considered a disadvantage for the great division, and before he came to Harrenhal, he had already lost 4,000 people, which was unheard of for the Lannister family, so he naturally couldn't accept it for a while.

"Brother, you are the commander. The little devil came to Jaime at some point, "The soldiers are watching you, I know you don't like to listen to me, but you need to be strong now, not like a crying." ”

“……”

Jaime was silent after a moment, nodded his head, straightened up, and said to the soldiers, "Despicable Ivy Crane, who killed four thousand of our brothers by such a despicable means!

"Revenge !!"

All the soldiers also shouted, and the momentum shook the sky, and all of them had fierce lights in their eyes and sharpened their knives. I have to say that this fire can be regarded as completely arousing the ferocity of the Lannisters.

And the little devil sighed in his heart at this time.

Glycerin, fire meter... It wasn't a clever ambush, but I was fooled. Ivy Crane, I didn't expect you to do such a thing in order to win, I misjudged you......

The little devil thought, he never thought that the enemy would be willing to amplify the fire and burn this jungle with a long history in order to defeat the Lannisters, and when this matter spreads, I am afraid that the families on the continent will despise him, after all, most families are more in awe of nature.

"It's my responsibility. Jaime then said to the imp, "I will write to my father now, and I will have no complaint if he orders the removal of my commander." ”

"No one is competing with you for responsibility. The little devil said bluntly, "But changing the battle on the spot will be a big taboo, although my father is angry, he will not do such a taboo thing." ”

“…… It seems that you know your father better than I do. ”

The little devil smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know him, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand me." Maybe his first reaction after learning the news would be why I wasn't burned to death in this dense forest, right?"

After saying that, the little devil stopped listening to Jaime and walked directly to the side. The latter also opened his mouth when he saw this, but he didn't say anything after all, after all, although he had a good relationship with the little devil, his father didn't like him very much. Killing the mother, the dwarf, all this is the original sin of the little devil, the original sin that can never be reversed.
