Chapter 401: Fire Attack
At the end of September, the autumn breeze is bleak and the weather is getting cooler.
The trees in the mountains are all withered and yellow, and the pine needles on the ground are stacked and covered with leaves.
Due to the transmission of the supreme order of the front-line monarch, Jinju dared to slack off, and after more than ten days, it finally sent a collected jar of fire oil to the military camp.
The catastrophe is coming, Li Po is unaware of it, and he is still living the same life as some time ago.
On this day, the Qin-Xuan coalition army camped.
Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Yuan and King Xuan stood together, followed by all the generals.
The autumn wind was blowing, it was a little cool, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but tighten his clothes, and then raised his hand to feel the wind: "Yes, this wind is okay." ”
King Xuan nodded: "Brother Wang, give the order." ”
Xiao Yuan didn't know how to ink, so he turned around and looked at the generals of the two countries, looked around and said:
"With the current encirclement of various departments, as soon as the time comes, the fuel altar will be lit and the Lushan will be launched in all directions."
"Now it is a northerly wind, the fire is together, the fire will take advantage of the wind, spread rapidly from north to south, at that time, Li Po will also flee to the south, therefore, the main force of our army will gather here, be sure to annihilate Li Po."
"Order, Xu Hu will lead 20,000 elites to block Hu Lindao."
"Order, Lian Xiao led 20,000 elites and lay down in the southwest road."
"Order, Xu Zhen, the general of the Xuan Army, led 20,000 troops and set up an ambush on the ramp."
"The other main forces, guarding the south of Lushan!"
"Order!"
As soon as he finished the order, the generals shook their fists.
"Generals of all departments, hurry up and prepare!"
"No!"
On the side of the coalition forces, the full deployment began.
Before the time, that is, from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, close to the hour, one after another stone throwing machines have been pushed forward and appeared in all directions of Lushan.
With such a movement, it was naturally impossible to hide from the secret post of the Yan Army, and the news was quickly spread to Li Po.
"What!?" After hearing this, the latter was startled at first and couldn't help but stand up, but soon, he sneered and said:
"What does the Qin-Xuan coalition want to do? Do you want to use siege equipment such as stone throwers to strike at Lushan? ”
The dark sentry knelt down on one knee, equally inexplicable: "This subordinate doesn't know." ”
"This is not a city! It's ridiculous! ”
Li Po pouted again, but everyone had moved, looking like he was attacking Lushan, as a general, it was impossible for him not to ask, so he waved his hand at several partial generals: "Go, take a look!" ”
Lushan is very large, 100,000 troops are stationed, it is conceivable that the camp is continuous, and the location of Li Po's main village is also some distance from the foot of the mountain, they received the news here, ready to come out to see, but at the same time, the coalition army order was issued, and all the stone throwers began to fill the oil altar.
"Ignition"
When the time came, all directions were full of orders from the generals.
"Put"
At the sound of an order, the sound of mechanical bounce came and went, and one by one, the oil jars, with the firelight, shot arcs in the air, and the raindrops generally fell into the dense forest of Lushan.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of crockpot popping one after another resounded throughout the mountain forest.
Most of the oil jars with fire smashed on the trunks of trees, and when they shattered, the oil inside also sputtered out, forming a small explosion.
And the fire oil, when it is touched, is the same as the dead leaves in the forest.
Now that these two things are put together, there is no need to say much about the situation.
The fire spread almost instantly, the burning branches crackled, and many large trees were full of fire in an instant.
The entire Lushan, in all directions, billowing smoke rose into the sky. Recommended ReadingTV//
The dead trees are connected together, and the pine needles and dead leaves on the ground are like fire snakes, raging and devouring wildly, and spreading rapidly along the way to the wind.
It didn't take long at all, the sea of fire was already formed, and with a speed visible to the naked eye, it was advancing all the way towards the Yan army camp.
At this time, Li Po had just come out of the main account not long ago.
The 100,000 company camp is very large, occupying almost the entire Lushan, and at this moment, some of the camps on the periphery have already encountered fire.
The battalion was built of wood, and the tent was made of cloth, and the situation could be imagined when it encountered a raging fire.
The outermost soldiers, I don't know how many people were engulfed in the fire, one by one, in the sea of fire, dancing and running around, and at the same time let out a terrible howl.
A sky-high fire, with the direction of the wind.
The miserable howls on the periphery have filled the entire mountain forest, and it has long been chaotic, but it is far away from Li Po.
Just as he was looking at the smoke in the sky and his brows were furrowed, a partial general in charge of the outer defense also hurried over.
There were still some gray stains on the general's face, and under the hurried running, the helmet was even more crooked to the side, and after arriving at Li Po's place, he screamed even more:
"The general is not good! The Qin army attacked with fire! The whole Lushan is full of fires! ”
"What!?" When the latter heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
He didn't care about it before, but at this time he was already a little panicked, and asked again and again: "What is the situation ahead!" I'm in trouble! Soldiers! ”
He asked questions one after another, and the general hurriedly replied: "It's all ruined, it's all ruined, general, the fire is spreading to this side, and it won't be long before it spreads to the main tent, and the camp will all be burned."
"Oh General, how good is this?"
The young generals behind him also panicked.
Li Po clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "King Qin is hateful!" Treacherous! Such a trick! ”
"General, now is not the time to talk about this, if you don't leave here, it's too late!" The general said urgently.
"What about the soldiers in front of me!" Li Po's eyes were cracked.
"This, this, how much can you run! Many soldiers were engulfed in the fire, and a moment later, more people died, general! ”
"Yes, General, don't stay any longer!"
Under the continuous urging of a group of generals, Li Po roared angrily, and then dared to hesitate, and hurriedly began to order, all of them broke through to the bottom of the mountain.
But the Yan army on the periphery, I don't know how many were burned to death, at this time it was already in chaos, in the sea of fire, like headless flies, soldiers covered in fire can be seen everywhere.
Mountains and forests, full of dead leaves and trees, surrounded by this raging fire, Li Po wants to run, how can it be so easy!
Just when he fled along the road with a large number of Yan troops here in the main tent, the road ahead had been spread by the fire, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of fire.
The heat wave is blowing in the face, and the burning skin hurts.
"General, there is no way here, what can I do?"
There is a bias that the general is almost crying.
The surviving Yan army, including Li Po, did not have a single one who did not panic.
Outside Lushan.
Far away, you can still feel the heat wave, looking at the raging fire in the distance, Xiao Yuan said quietly:
"With such a fire, Li Po's 100,000 army will be wiped out."
