As the night darkened, there was an army hiding in the hidden places on the north and south sides of the forest.

The human rank grass, the horse contains the piece.

Wait quietly.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, everyone raised their spirits, and some soldiers had their eyes shining and clenched the Changge in their hands.

"Report, General Qiyu, I will wait and see from afar, Wei Chu's 50,000 allied troops lit torches and decided to walk through the forest overnight. A scout came to the tomb and reported.

Wang Ling secretly clenched the hilt of the long sword at his waist, waved his hand to the scout, indicating that he understood, and asked him to retreat.

"General Qiyu, the enemy army has a secret post at the western end of the forest. ”

Another scout came to report.

Wang Ling said in his heart, a cautious general of the Wei army. The enemy has 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry armor, according to his cautious character, he will definitely not let the cavalry and infantry go slow together, but will choose to cross the forest with fast horses and whips, and garrison them at the west exit of the forest, which can not only prevent the Qin army from blocking them in the forest, but also provide protection for the 20,000 infantry armor behind to cross the forest, killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Wang Ling knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if he let the enemy's 30,000 cavalry be stationed in the west of the forest, this plan would come to naught.

"Command the three armies, go. Wang Ling ordered.

"Driving" "Driving"

Wang Ling led 30,000 cavalry towards the western exit of the forest.

Sure enough, as Wang Ling expected, Wei He was a suspicious person, and personally led 30,000 cavalry to gallop quickly on the forest road, leaving 20,000 foot armor far behind.

Only a mile away from the western exit, there was a scream from ahead, and the cavalry was in confusion, and he didn't understand what was going on. At the exit, torches gradually lit up, and countless Qin soldiers wearing black armor and holding bows and crossbows aimed at the forest.

He understood the plan, but he didn't dare to order it to stop, the cavalry of Wei had no saddles, and if the order was given, too many people would die under the horse's hooves due to the inertia of the horses.

If Wei He didn't give the order to stop, it would have been the situation just now that the Qin army had set up a horse rejection pile on the road, and the screams and riots that came just now were that the Wei cavalry hit the horse rejection pile and were injured.

Wei He was also sweating profusely at this time, but unfortunately he didn't have much time to think now, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Rush out." ”

He knew better that if he stopped, he would never have a chance to rush out. Returning the same way, the Qin army pursued and killed, and the 20,000 foot soldiers behind would die under the hooves of their own people.

Actually, he didn't have a choice.

Wang Ling ordered the soldiers to set up more than 50 horse-rejecting piles on the road, covering an area of 300 meters, when Wei He was thinking, the Wei cavalry rushed through more than 10 horse-rejecting stake defense lines, due to the narrow road, the horses and Wei cavalry who died on the rejecting stake were less than 500, and nearly 1,000 fell from their horses and died.

The sound of a burning fire sounded.

It turned out that when the Wei army appeared, Wang Ling ordered the soldiers to set fire to the west exit of the forest, because it was January, it was the dry season, and the forest was soon red.

The 30,000 cavalry of the Wei army was a long dragon of nearly eight miles, and the Wei cavalry behind naturally did not know what was happening in front. But the fire was shining brightly in the night, like the rising sun in the morning. When they saw the fire in front of them, they naturally understood that they had been ambushed.

Many Wei soldiers panicked in their hearts and no longer had the fighting spirit.

Five miles behind the Wei army, Mi Juzheng took the lead with 20,000 Chu State infantry armor and marched forward, inadvertently aiming at a red light in the sky, lifting his spirit, watching carefully, the red light is getting bigger and bigger, and he secretly screams in his heart.

Hurriedly ordered: "Stop advancing, the rear team becomes the front team, and the front team becomes ......"

Suddenly, he couldn't go on, because the fire in their rear was also raging, and the 20,000 Chu soldiers also developed a fire in front and back, and there was a commotion.

The fire is ruthless, if there is no accident, 20,000 Chu State foot soldiers will all be buried in the sea of fire, it is too late to return the same way, they are three miles away from the rear exit, there is a Qin army to guard not to mention, the fire has become the climate, and it will not be able to penetrate the sea of fire at all.

As for fleeing from the north and south, you must know that there are no roads in the forest, and there are thorns and branches, so it is difficult to move an inch, and how can you escape with your life?

"It's over!" Some Chu people were paralyzed on the ground, their eyes blank.

"How's that okay?"

"I don't want to die... ”

"I'm going home......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

The soldiers were defeated, and some of them fled to the north and south, and it was better to have a glimmer of hope than to wait for death.

Miju, who had always been self-righteous, was also sitting on the ground at this time, his face was pale and at a loss.

"General, general, we still have to be saved, I have a way, I have a way!" a veteran in his forties stumbled to Miju's side.

Qi Juben's eyes full of dead ashes suddenly showed brilliance, and he lifted the veteran in front of him, and asked anxiously: "You have a way, say it quickly, what can you do to save me?"

The veteran said in a panicked tone: "Cut, cut down trees, general, we can clear a clearing and live." ”

Mi Ju's eyes lit up, he let go of the hand holding the veteran, and ordered the guards beside him: "Quickly let everyone cut down trees together and clear a clearing." ”

The soldiers, who were still desperate, heard that the trees were cut down and the clearing of the open space was cleared, and everyone was suddenly full of energy.

The army needs to cut down trees to build camps, so the army has some spare axes that come in handy. Many people quickly picked up axes and began to cut down trees, and some people directly took swords, changge and other things that could be used to cut down trees together.

An hour later, with the concerted efforts of 18,000 soldiers, a clearing was finally tossed out, and the fire was also approaching, and everyone put down their tools and squeezed into the circle.

However, this open space can only accommodate a maximum of 10,000 people, and the Chu army still has 18,000 people left, which means that there are as few as 6,000 or more than 8,000 people who will die.

Everyone's eyes were red, the fire was getting closer and closer, and the sound of "crackling" exploded in everyone's ears like a talisman.

"Oh, no, please, save me, save me, ah...... Please...... Guys...... , two dogs...... Save ......"

One man had his legs crushed while cutting down a tree, and when the fire came, everyone was running for their lives, and no one cared about him, so he could only crawl forward with his hands. However, in the end, he could not escape the engulfment of the fire.

Many people, no matter how crowded they were, were still in the woods outside the circle, and their faces changed dramatically when they heard this scream.

A man in his thirties, with a sturdy body, with a fierce face, plunged the long sword in his hand into the body of a young man in the circle.

The young man looked at him in disbelief, and finally fell weakly.

A "poof" sound piercing into the body made the people who were crowding next to the two stop, and the sturdy man drew his long sword and said coldly: "Don't blame me, I just want to live." ”

The people outside the circle where the strong man was located clenched their weapons one after another, and a fight inevitably began, starting with ten, thirty, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, all of them joined the chaotic battle.

Once a comrade in the past, now you are alive and dead.

There's nothing you can't do in order to survive.

The fighting, I don't know how long it lasted, the stumps on the ground were broken, the fishy smell was tangy, especially the blood flowing to the forest and being evaporated by the fire, and the fishy burnt smell emitted was even more disgusting.

"Don't fight, enough is enough, enough position. ”

A heart-rending cry sounded, and people gradually woke up from their madness, seeing that they were already in the circle, surrounded by corpses, and looked at the people who were fighting, and stopped with tacit understanding.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, seeing that he was surrounded by corpses, threw away the sword in his hand, knelt on the ground, and looked at his hands, which were full of bright red blood.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

The boy's cry was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and the circle gradually sounded crying and apologetic.

Of the 20,000 foot armor, 2,000 escaped, and 18,000 fought each other for their lives, and in the end only 3,000 remained.

Pathetic, lamentable, sad.

Anyway, Wei He's side, several times rushed to kill, but he couldn't successfully rush out, the fire gradually expanded, and Wei He's heart became more and more anxious.

At this moment, the earth-shattering voice of the Qin army outside sounded: "Those who lay down their weapons will not be killed." ”

"Those who lay down their arms and surrender, do not kill. ”

"Those who lay down their arms and surrender, do not kill. ”

Wei He looked left and right, and saw that many people's eyes were looking at him, he understood that the general situation had gone, and if he did not surrender, many people would be happy to go out with his head to sacrifice to the Qin army.

"Surrender. ”

After Wei He said this, he was weak, and this sentence seemed to drain all his strength.

"Outside the generals we surrender, please don't shoot arrows. Wei Jun shouted.

"Don't bring any weapons, or you'll die. Qin Jun's voice came in.

Wei He looked at the guards beside him, a few people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him, he smiled self-deprecatingly, put the sword in his right hand on his neck, and finally took a deep look at the direction of Wei Guo, wiped the long sword, and committed suicide.

Some of his guards accompanied him one after another.

30,000 cavalry, 15,000 killed and wounded, 3,000 fled in confusion, and 12,000 surrendered.

When the Qin army occupied the sky, the location was favorable, and the people were favorable, and there were several times when the Wei army rushed out and killed more than 100 people. Such a comparison is rare in the world.

On the second day, Wang Ling led his army back to Xinxing City.

Bai Qi, Huan Qi and several other veterans were in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for the return of Wang Ling.

Wang Ling came to the lobby and saluted Bai: "The last general, Wang Ling, on the order of the general, ambushed 50,000 enemy troops from the six countries. Now, come to your life. ”

"Okay, the news you sent back, Ben will read it, and you have made a great contribution this time. Bai Qi laughed.

"It's all the general's strategy, otherwise, how could Wang Ling have such a merit. Wang Ling replied.

Wang Ling sat down, and Zhang Tang asked curiously: "How did General Wang come up with the idea of setting fire, as soon as the fire is released, the enemy's morale will be completely lost, it is really a second move." ”

Wang Ling looked at Bai Qi and admired: "Yesterday afternoon, when the last general was about to set off, it was the general who sent someone to inform the last general of the plan to set fire. ”

"I see, the general is really high-minded. Huan Qi said.

"General Ben didn't expect that arson would have such a miraculous effect, so he just asked General Wang to try it. Bai Qi said.

"As soon as the general's fire was released, the Chu army had 20,000 foot soldiers, not to mention killing each other, and it had not caused the slightest harm to our Qin army. In this battle, 35,000 enemies were killed, 15,000 were captured, 20,000 horses were killed, 40,000 were harvested, 150 were killed, and 500 were wounded. Such a brilliant achievement will surely be recorded in the history of our Qin State and will be passed down for generations. Meng Mingshi exclaimed

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

At this time, a forest fire fifty miles away lit up a radius of several miles, and on the east side, a rider looked at the sky-high fire, turned around and left.
