Seeing the flame spreading so rapidly, Fu Zhen was startled. 『』

"I said, Lao Luo, how did you get this fire to spread so quickly," he grabbed Luo Hui and wanted to ask.

Luo Hui licked his lips and pointed at Yun Qing: "It's all the Duke's idea." ”

"Okay, don't sell it. Everyone knows it can't be your idea. He Tong also said.

Luo Hui looked at the two of them extremely depressed: "Can you two not chill me?"

"Say it quickly, don't say that Lao Tzu left you behind and fed you to those steppe wolves."

"You're ruthless." Luo Hui gave the two of them a middle finger, and then said, "The Duke asked me to lead someone to lift the tiles on the roof and cover it with a layer of straw soaked in fire oil. Then straw and pouring and oil were piled up in all the houses, in the alleys and in all parts of the city. If this spreads slowly, it will be too much to say. ”

The two of them were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they watched Luo Hui and the troops go to the room every day for the past few days.

As he spoke, the city was already on fire.

The people who had already retreated outside the city were silent as they watched the flames in the city.

In any case, they lost the city after all.

"Don't hesitate, while they are stopped by the fire, we will retreat quickly." Yun Qing shouted.

Then the army quickly withdrew southward, and the situation seen along the way made people feel even more sad.

The large crops that can still be seen from time to time when they come here are no longer left, and the original villages have been emptied, and even most of the villages have even pushed their houses to the ground.

After retreating for nearly 100 miles, he didn't even see any people.

This scared Fu Zhen.

"I said, Lord Duke, a few days ago you asked Your Majesty for a strong wall. But you're so thorough, why are you all clearing up here?"

Yun Qing smiled: "With the situation at the time, I knew that I couldn't hold it." So I planned for it. In fact, the scope of the real strong wall clear field is much larger, and it can almost be said that the entire range north of Xiongtian Pass is strong wall clear field. ”

As soon as they heard this, not only Fu Zhen, but even Luo Hui and He Tong felt dizzy in front of their eyes.

"I said, Lord Duke, don't be kidding. Xiongtianguan. Oh my God, that's almost the northern half of the empire. There really is this, it must be heavenly, how much trouble does this have to make, those nobles are not alive, you don't say anything else, just the resettlement of those people will be dead. He Tong felt that his eyes were a little dizzy.

"It's just a preliminary idea, and the real scope depends on the situation, but basically, it's possible to go hundreds or even thousands of miles further south." Yun Qing saw that the three of them reacted so much, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it would be better to narrow down the scope a little.

It wouldn't be good if these three guys objected.

"I said Lord Duke, have you thought about one thing" Fu Zhen showed a wry smile on his face: "Not only is there no one in the village, but even the wells have been filled, don't we have no saliva to drink for hundreds of miles?"

"Ah" Yun Qing was stunned when he heard this, he really ignored this question.

"Well, how is it possible, I remember that there was a river on the road when I came, let's go to the river, naturally there will be water to drink. It's not far away, and there are still a hundred miles. ”

The three generals were dumbfounded and speechless.

When Yunqing led the soldiers to the river in his memory, what he saw was a nearly dry riverbed.

The river, which was originally fifteen or sixteen zhang wide and two or three zhang deep, now has only a little bit of water flowing like a stream, and even the bridge over the river has been demolished.

"What" Yun Qing was also stunned, it had only been a few days, why had the river dried up like this

"This" Fu Zhen and the others were also stupid: "How can this Runshui River be like this, how is this possible, this Runshui River keeps flowing even in winter." ”

"That's it, don't worry about it, anyway, if you want to drink, it's probably enough."

Then the army rushed down to the riverbed, took out the kettle and filled it, then picked up the water and drank a little.

Under such a rapid march, although the soldiers wanted to let go and drink happily, the water was really shallow, and it was not easy to fill the kettle, and God knows when the steppe wolf court would catch up.

After all, they are mainly cavalry, and there are still a lot of infantry on their side, so the speed is slower after all.

"Cross the river at once, and then rest for a while." Looking at the already tired soldiers, Yun Qing sighed, after all, he had reached the limit.

Although the bridge was demolished, the river dried up like this, and it was easy to go to the other side.

After crossing the river, the soldiers, who were already extremely tired, immediately sat down on the ground, took out their kettles and drank water.

Although they were already very thirsty, they did not take a big gulp, but took a few small sips and put the kettle away.

Because now they all know, because of the strong walls and clear fields, there may be a long way ahead without finding water.

Now that I'm done drinking it for a while, I'm going to be sad later.

After resting for only half an hour, Yun Qing suddenly noticed a vibration on the ground.

Looking north, I saw smoke and dust rushing up into the sky, obviously the appearance of a large army marching.

"All arose, and immediately withdrew, and they caught up."

"These bastards, they're running too fast." Fu Zhen scolded.

But seeing that the speed of the Steppe Wolf Court's troops was so fast, Yun Qing had not yet withdrawn far from the crowd, and the troops of the Steppe Wolf Court had already reached the bank of the Runshui River.

"Fortunately, the river dried up, and the row of pontoon bridges on the river was demolished. Otherwise, it will be miserable. Seeing that the troops of the Steppe Wolf Court were blocked by the Runshui River, and they dismounted and crossed the river one after another, He Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Stop retreating, set up, and prepare to meet the enemy." Yun Qing looked at the situation behind him, took a deep breath, and then ordered.

"What kind of duke, how can such a disparity in troops" Luo Hui was shocked when he heard this, he now had less than 300,000 people left, and the other party seemed to have at least more than 500,000 people.

And their own side is even more exhausted because of the rapid march, how to fight this

"The Duke's judgment is right, if we continue to escape, we will only die worse." Yun Qing gave the order, and Fu Zhen and He Tong immediately came to their senses.

After all, they are all generals who have really led troops to the battlefield, which is different from the generals of Luo Hui's local defenders.

"Brothers, kill me back, and take advantage of their crossing of the river to take them by surprise." He Tong pulled out his knife and roared loudly.

He and Fu Zhen both saw what Yunqing meant. If you let the opponent cross the river, then under the opponent's charging iron horse, you can only be defeated.

And if you can snipe the opponent in the riverbed now, then maybe there is a chance of survival.

With the shouts of the two, all the soldiers followed Yunqing and killed back.

And the soldiers of the Steppe Wolf Court who crossed the river for the first time immediately greeted them without fear of death. They had to buy time for the robe behind them to cross the river.

In the midst of the earth-shattering shouts of killing, Yun Qing suddenly heard the sound of rumbling water.

"Hmm" Yun Qing frowned slightly, feeling strange.

But it didn't take long for him to understand what he was hearing.

I saw that in the upper reaches of the Runshui River, the roaring river water rushed madly, and instantly washed away the soldiers of the Steppe Wolf Court who were still in the riverbed at this time.

"Hahaha, God help me." Fu Zhen laughed when he saw this, and killed a centurion with a knife, and he roared loudly: "Brothers, see it, this is the Martial God protecting us." Kill all these bitches. ”

"Kill, kill, kill" Seeing this, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they roared loudly, killing the group of steppe wolf court soldiers who had been cut off like hungry tigers descending from the mountain
