The warring sides became fierce as they fought.

The battlefield is cruel, either you die or I die, the Qingzhou soldiers have experienced life and death, and they have become numb. But most of Shen Ning's soldiers and horses were newly recruited military households, and some soldiers were young and strong, and even longed to make meritorious contributions, but when they really went to the battlefield, they realized the cruel reality of the battlefield when they saw blood splashed everywhere, heads falling to the ground, and tragic sounds and wails sounded in their ears.

So as the melee stalemate, Shen Ning's side began to lose, and many people had already sacrificed.

Shen Ning sat in the rear, quietly watching this scene, the scene in front of him coincided with the picture with deep memory, as if he saw the comrades-in-arms who had sacrificed in his previous life.

"One will make ten thousand bones dry..."

Shen Ning muttered to himself, if he didn't personally experience human life, he couldn't understand the meaning of success at all.

"It's almost time!" Shen Ning looked at Huo Tianxing behind him.

Huo Tianxing received the order and immediately withdrew his troops.

When the signal of the retreat resounded on the battlefield, the red-eyed soldiers on both sides woke up like a dream, Zhang Liao, Shen Zhaoyuan, and Li Xiaojie immediately led the troops to retreat, and the army lords under their command did not dare to slack off, and immediately began to withdraw their troops.

At the rear of the Qingzhou Army, Ke Zhennan looked like a god, and laughed: "General Ben has long expected this result!" He Shen Ning's milk smell has not dried, do you really think that you can win against General Ben in a head-to-head confrontation? Foolish dreams! A group of rabble, unexpectedly came to take the initiative to send people to death, came to someone, quickly pursued, and annihilated the other party! ”

The adjutant beside him hurriedly said: "General, could it be the other party's plan to lure the enemy?" There are hills ahead, and the lowly position is a little worried. ”

Ke Zhennan looked to the west, then looked at the fleeing Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and sneered: "You see, the fleeing soldiers and horses are scattered, unruly, and have lost their formation, which shows that the other party is really defeated, not lured." If he doesn't take advantage of the victory to pursue now, Shen Ning will inevitably withdraw his troops, and it will be difficult to kill him when the time comes. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I must keep him in order to avenge my brother-in-law. ”

The adjutant nodded, not persuading.

In this way, Shen Ning was ordered to flee westward, passing through the mouth of the hills, and to the west was a large dense forest, and the soldiers and horses quickly fled into the forest.

Ke Zhennan chased to the front of the dense forest and restrained the war horse.

Since ancient times, Lin Mo has not entered, this is a taboo for soldiers, and it may be an ambush set by the other party.

But Ke Zhennan was eager for revenge and was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, so he sent 200 people into the dense forest to pursue.

After waiting for a while, the pursuing subordinates returned: "General Qiyu, there is no ambush in the forest, the enemy has escaped from the dense forest and continues to flee west!" ”

Ke Zhennan made up his mind at this time, and shouted randomly: "Speed up, chase me, be sure to leave the other party!" Don't let the other party escape! ”

Immediately, he also entered the forest with his soldiers and horses to pursue.

This forest is a trap set by Shen Ning and Li Ru.

Indeed, Shen Ning did not leave troops to set up an ambush, because it was meaningless.

Since ancient times, the battle without a fight is the best way to fight, followed by the use of the right time and place, and finally relying on the formation to fight head-on.

Now it is the season of high autumn and dry weather, this forest is luxuriant, once it encounters fire, it will become a fire.

As Ke Zhennan Bing led the troops into the woods, the Yin Yang Dao masters hidden in the forest appeared, they were hidden in the holes dug in advance, and no one would notice them at all.

Later, they went out into the jungle and began to light the oil that had been prepared in advance.

The reason for Li Ru's belated arrival was that he spread rumors in Pengcheng, and second, he took a caravan to escort flammable oil, which was animal fat and vegetable fat, although it was not as good as gasoline and diesel, but after it was ignited, it encountered dry firewood and plants, and it also instantly formed a fire.

And when the fire was ignited, Shen Ning, who had fled westward, suddenly reorganized his troops and horses, turned back, stopped outside the woods, and began to block the Qingzhou soldiers. When the Qingzhou soldiers appeared, they immediately released arrows to block them, trapping the Qingzhou soldiers in the woods.

And the arrows also lit fuel fuel, igniting the dense forest.

In a moment, the dry trees were ignited, forming a wall of fire that blocked Ke Zhennan's way.

Ke Zhennan was furious and roared: "What a cunning boy! ”

Until now, Ke Zhennan still didn't know that he had fallen into a trap, and he only thought that Shen Ning set fire to stop their pursuit. But then, when the fire at the edge of the woods was completely ignited and began to burn in the middle, and the entire forest was surrounded by flames, Ke Zhennan's subordinates realized that something was wrong!

"General, something is wrong! The whole woods were set on fire! We've been tricked, and the enemy is attacking with fire! The soldiers were sweating profusely, and they were shivering when they were blown by the autumn wind.

Since ancient times, fire and water have been ruthless, and they have always violated the harmony of heaven.

Ke Zhennan's face changed drastically, and he roared, "How is it possible? ”

He looked around, and in the distance, he could already see the light of a fire in the distance. He was so anxious that he forgot Feng Lin Mo's warning, plus he had already investigated, and there was no ambush inside, so he dared to enter the dense forest, but he never expected that Shen Ning was too vicious, and he had already prepared the oil and hid the arsonist, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

For now, they can only choose one direction to break through, because the fire is getting more and more fierce, and when the fire becomes an encirclement and completely surrounds them, there is no chance of escape.

And now their only way out is to continue to break through to the west, the flames on the west side have just been set by Shen Ning's people, the fire has not yet been completely formed, and the distance is the closest, it is the fastest way to escape from the dense forest.

"Take off your clothes, use them to fight the flames, and the shield hand will step forward and rush out of the jungle!" Ke Zhennan immediately gave the order.

I saw the Qingzhou soldiers take off their clothes and use their clothes to put down the burning flames, and some people forcibly opened out one passage after another with the attitude of a death squad.

It's a pity that Shen Ning is already waiting outside, as long as the Qingzhou soldiers dare to come out, they will be arrows like rain.

In the end, the Qingzhou soldiers lost a lot of people and completely broke out of the dense forest.

Ke Zhennan looked back at the woods and saw that the woods had been surrounded by flames, and if he had just chosen to break through from other directions, he would probably die in the flames.

But now the situation is also worrying.

To the west is Shen Ning's soldiers and horses, who are attacking frantically, behind him is a dense forest, his men and horses have suffered more losses, the army is discouraged, and there is no need to continue fighting, so he also Mingjin withdrew his troops and withdrew his troops to the left.

This time, Shen Ning pursued, and after more than ten miles, Ke Zhennan turned over the hills and fled to Chengyang County, and Shen Ning gave up the pursuit.

Then Shen Ning ordered the wounded to be counted!

After counting, Shen Ning's 12,000 soldiers and horses were killed in the battle, nearly 2,000 were killed, many were wounded, and the battle was fierce.

On the other hand, Ke Zhennan's Qingzhou soldiers, they originally had an advantage and had fewer deaths, but they fell into the trap of fire attack, and those who were burned to death plus those who died in battle killed were more than 4,000 people killed in battle. There are also those who were injured and captured, those who ran away, etc., Ke Zhennan was even more injured this time.
