The most tragic thing is that these flames stick to the soldiers on their bodies with oil, and slowly burn them to death, and the cry before death is simply the sound of hell, transmitting the deepest fear and despair in the heart to everyone who can hear this voice.

This fire burns and the whole camp will cease to exist.

There was a small hill a few miles away from the back camp, and the soldiers who had survived the lives of Da Gan gathered behind Li Luo and Xiong Biting, silently looking at the camp that reflected half of the sky. The howl before death can still be heard from so far away, the flames are several feet high in the place where the fire is most intense, and the sound of explosions comes from time to time, and the hell is nothing more than that.

The pungent smoke wafted over, I don't know if it was cranky or something else, as if I could smell the smell of burnt meat from the smoke, and the smell of oil smoke that made people sick to their stomachs, so that many soldiers couldn't help but vomit. Xiong Biting's face was also a little pale, fire attack and pit killing were the most cruel and most common methods of the two armies in battle. Seeing the living people struggling and crying in the sea of fire, and finally gradually falling silent and turning into a section of coke, anyone will be frightened, and there are only a few people like Li Luo who are not shocked and are cold and calm.

In order to lay down the ambush for the burning company camp, Li Luo exhausted all the gunpowder and oil in the camp, and even the fat oil in the rear camp was used to help the fire. This fire not only stopped the Caohai coalition army from moving south, but also burned a military camp of the Dingbei Army to the ground, not even a grain of rice or grass left.

In the summer, things are dry and dry, and the fire burns more unscrupulously, and people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. There are no stars and no moon tonight, and the valley and wilderness in the distance are covered with a layer of blood red by the fire, and at a glance, this camp in the flames is like a blooming red lotus in the last days, bewitching and dazzling.

Li Luo looked at the fire in the distance, no sorrow or joy, such a sky-high flame, he must have been aware of it standing on the head of Jianbei City.

Suddenly, Li Luo's forehead was cold, and the wind around suddenly cooled a little colder. Li Luo sighed gloomily and said calmly: "Withdraw the troops." ”

Xiong Biting didn't want to stay in this place for a long time, and shouted when he heard the words: "Withdraw the army!" ”

The soldiers turned around and marched in the direction of Jianbei City. As soon as he took a few steps, a soldier exclaimed, "Hey, it's raining!" ”

There was a light rain in the sky, and the wind cooled quickly, and it would not be long before the rain would fall even louder, enough to extinguish the fire in the barracks behind him.

Xiong Biting ordered all the soldiers to step up their march and withdraw to the Dagan Front behind them as soon as possible. The Caohai coalition army was blocked, with heavy casualties, and it was difficult to ensure that after the fire was extinguished, these northern Xinjiang grass recklessness would not hold a grudge and chase them over at night.

Li Luo was silent and rarely spoke, and others looked at him and thought that Li Luo was annoyed by this sudden rain, and he didn't dare to come forward to speak. However, Li Luo did not have such thoughts, this rain had been expected, tonight at the earliest, and early the next morning at the latest, whether it was big or small, it was going to fall. The strategy of burning the company camp was thought of by Li Luo not long ago, if this rain fell earlier, then there would be no burning of the company camp, and Li Luo was not sure how many soldiers would escape. In front of heaven and earth, human beings are extremely small and fragile, and we should not hope that this rain will not fall, but we should be glad that this rain fell later, and in any case, we should always be content.

The rain really started to rain heavily, and the grass sea soldiers who rushed into the camp should not have died, and many people should have survived. Thinking of this, Li Luo was a little inexplicably relieved, even if he didn't notice it.

In this night's battle, not counting the soldiers led by General Guan Yuezhu to rob the camp, there were less than 20,000 soldiers under Xiong Biting's department left in the camp, and there were less than 5,000 people still following General Li Luozhu at present, plus those who were scattered, those who had secretly escaped from the camp and the men and doctors who had been sent out of the barracks by Li Luo, as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled, about seven or eight thousand soldiers survived, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers were all killed on the battlefield. This fire not only burned the Caohai Coalition Army, but also burned the remains of the Dagan soldiers.

In the early morning, everyone met the soldiers of the forward battalion sent by the Dingbei Army, and the fire last night did attract the attention of the rear army, but there was no military order, and the generals in the battalion did not dare to act without authorization, but they only sent the forward scout battalion first, and the army was fully equipped, but did not leave the camp.

Fortunately, the Caohai cavalry did not chase after them, and it seems that a fire last night also caused the Caohai coalition army to be seriously injured and injured.

Li Luo and Xiong Biting led the troops to arrive at the rear army camp, this time Jianbei City did not make Li Luo embarrassed, everyone had just rested for a while, and just after noon, there was a military order from Jianbei City, ordering the generals of the rear army and the remnants of the former army Xiong Biting to return to Jianbei City immediately, and retreat to the front, there must be no mistake.

The front camp was lost, Guan Yue's life and death were unknown, and the generals of the rear army really didn't have the courage to stand between Jianbei City and the Caohai coalition army.

The general of the Hou Army is surnamed Zhang Mingyan, and he is also one of the twelve generals in the Dingbei Army, but he is ranked lower, and he is not as famous as Mu Guisai and Guan Yue. Zhang Yan explained the meaning of the military order to Li Luo and Xiong Biting, Xiong Biting was noncommittal, the remnants of his troops were not strong enough, and it was useless to stay here, of course it was best to go back. Li Luo had long seen that the two fronts and rear lines laid by the Dingbei Army were not of great use, and he sent the sheep into the tiger's mouth for nothing, although it was too late to withdraw the army, but it was better to make up for the loss than to go his own way, so he didn't say anything, just let Zhang Yan act according to the order.

The soldiers of the rear army abandoned the camp and left, taking away everything that could be taken away, and burning the fire that could not be taken away. Last night it rained a lot, and everything in the camp was a little damp, and although the fire burned, the fire was not big, and the smoke was billowing out, covering the sky and the sun. Fortunately, it was the southeast wind direction, and the smoke drifted to the area of Qiu Que Mansion, and there were no soldiers who abandoned the camp and left.

Before he arrived in Jianbei City, I don't know if it was Prince Chun or King Hui who instructed him to send the guards in the city several times to send orders to let Li Luo return to the city first. Li Luo delayed for a few days, waiting for the army to enter the border of Jianbei, and then he and his uncle Gugu Su Xiaoniang said goodbye to Xiong Biting and Zhang Yan, and rushed back to Jianbei City first.

When I arrived outside the city, there was a team of people waiting here early, and it seemed that I had left the city very early to wait. When Li Luo saw it, they were all listless, sitting on the side of the road in twos and threes.

The leader was an official in the same dynasty as Li Luo, and for a while he was in the same yamen as Li Luo, and he ordered the doctor Yan Fengming.
