Chapter 155: Burning the Official Road
Xuanyuan Hanmo's plan, even he himself was not very sure, less than 2,000 people, to sneak attack the team transporting grain and grass.
The guts can no longer be said to be fat, they are simply bold!
When Xuanyuan Xiong knew about this plan, Xuanyuan Hanmo had already led the team far away, and he couldn't stop it if he wanted to.
With the cavalry all the way around, Tyson took people familiar with the terrain to probe the situation ahead, fortunately avoided the enemy's army, and drove straight to Xining without stopping.
Those on the edge of the castle are ready and waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Wang Shi and the others were already waiting in ambush in the forest.
The battle can start at any time, and they are all waiting for the enemy to appear.
At some point, a large cloud had gathered in the sky, and it became so difficult to detect it under the cover of the gradually dim sky.
Finally, the army of the Western Regions arrived at night.
The mighty army stretches to the horizon endlessly.
The army did not enter the attack range of the ambush circle, and both Jizhong and Yaoichi became nervous.
Both of them were afraid of being discovered in the ambush, and lay nervously on their stomachs, for fear of making a noise to expose themselves.
The dark clouds in the sky are still gathering, still brewing, and there is no sign of rain.
The follow-up contingent of the Western Regions army also arrived, and one of the armies had the same banner as the one left over from the ruins.
This army was forced by other armies to go to the front.
The entire alliance of the Western Regions army seemed to be noisy, and they were very disgusted with this army that had been driven to the front.
And this army, which consisted of only a thousand men, walked to the front in despair, and went straight to the ruins of the fortification.
Zhe Zhong and Yaoyi endured it, greedy they wanted to bet a big game!
The dark clouds in the sky seem to have reached their limit, and the rain is finally falling.
The heavy rain fell on the earth, making the already smoky and dusty land muddy.
The army entered the ruins of the fortified city, trembling and trembling until it came out of the fortified city, and there was nothing unusual, and they all cheered.
The troops in the rear followed from a distance, and when they saw that nothing had happened to this group of people until they passed, they all let down their vigilance and accelerated their passage.
After all, the rain was too heavy.
Just as their army began to continue its march, the places they had dug on both sides of the ruins of the city were washed by the rain, and before they could make a move, they began to fall on their own.
Large stones rolled down from both sides, and with the rain and the cement soil sliding, the people on the mountain were the first to panic.
This landslide is starting to fall!
Zhi Zhong hurriedly beckoned everyone to leave quickly, and did not dare to stay for a moment.
With the help of heavy rain, Ji Zhong left safely with the people.
And not long after they left, the mountains on both sides began to crumble.
The rain continued until the second half of the night, and the rain and the soil of the landslide completely buried the ruins of the city, and the army of the Western Regions also began to retreat during the landslide, with very few casualties.
Only the army that passed first was separated on the other side, and the isolated ones were all killed by Wang Shi rushing out with archers.
Such a good "appetizer", don't eat it for nothing!
In the opening show here, Xuanyuan Hanmo didn't know that he had already arrived at the edge of the official road in Xining at this time.
Looking at this official road connecting the city and Xining, Xuanyuan Hanmo had to sigh that Nalan Wanyan was really a prescient person.
This official road is very wide and strong, and it is not easy to destroy it.
No wonder he was able to quickly assemble the army and run in the hinterland with Xuanyuan Xiong.
If you really want to get rich, you must first build roads!
"My lord, what are you going to do next?"
Sima Fang stood respectfully behind Xuanyuan Hanmo.
Looking at this sturdy official road, Xuanyuan Hanmo also had a little headache, this rain plan is a bit different, or the intelligence collection is not enough.
"Spread out, try not to alarm the insects and birds in the forest, and arrange the tripping ropes."
Sima Fang led people down to arrange, leaving Tyson behind.
"Instructor, this road is not suitable for grain robbery, what are you going to do?"
Xuanyuan Hanmo waved his hand, still thinking.
Looking at the towering trees on both sides of the official road, Xuanyuan Hanmo suddenly felt that the height of this tree was just enough to cut off the official road!
"Tyson, did you bring any tools with an axe to cut down trees?"
"Yes!"
"Go, take someone to cut down the tree, and the trunk will be poured with fire oil and then cut down! Every five trees, they should fall into the official road, and do not cut them down first. ”
Tyson didn't ask why, and hurriedly retreated to carry out the order.
The army that was able to detect the grain was still hundreds of miles away, and there was still enough time.
Every tree was crumblingly cut down, just waiting for the last few blows.
Everything was ready, and Regulus told Tyson to retreat far away with most of the cavalry, waiting for the signal.
But Tyson wants to stay, and Sima Fang also wants to stay.
Xuanyuan Hanmo directly broke two small branches and asked them to draw lots.
In the end, Tyson drew a short lot, and he still led the team.
Time passed slowly, and Xuanyuan Hanmo, Sima Fang, and the people waiting by the broken tree all felt very tormented.
Finally, the army carrying the grain arrived.
"Order, get ready! When a tree falls, it ignites a fire! Evacuate if you start a fire, you can't stay! ”
Sima Fang nodded, gestured back, and gave the order.
The long grain transportation team showed its complete appearance, which made Xuanyuan Hanmo have to sigh that there were so many of them.
As for the people who transported the grain, they formed a team of 10,000 people to transport it, a real team of 10,000 people!
"Cut!"
The first tree fell, causing the soldiers carrying the grain to immediately shrink around the grain cart.
One by one, the trees fell like tarot cards, forcing the group of grain troops to stop on the official road, and then the fallen trees were on fire.
They tried to extinguish the flames, but how could the flames that were poured with fire oil be so easy to extinguish?
The whole official road is blazing, and this strong official road can make them walk steadily and conveniently, and it has also become their life-threatening talisman.
Xuanyuan Hanmo fled to a distant place with the people, joined Tyson, and stood on a high place watching the fire burning on the official road.
The flames had spread, leaving them with only two options, to continue to extinguish the flames, or to break out of the flames and escape.
Apparently not all of them were so great to stay to put out the flames and save the food and grass.
Soldiers kept fleeing, and many stayed behind to extinguish the flames.
Gradually, the flames spread to the woods on both sides of the official road, and the entire official road became a circle of flames.
The soldiers who want to be heroes in it have no chance to come out.
Looking at the people struggling in the flames from afar, everyone watched quietly, after all, if this group of people did not die, they died.
Tyson had already cut out a fire shelter belt under Xuanyuan Hanmo's instructions, and the flames spread to Xuanyuan Hanmo's position and couldn't burn it.
Finally, the flames burned in the other direction, driving the beasts towards the territory of Western Chu.
Looking at the flames that were gradually extinguishing, Xuanyuan Hanmo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Instructor, the amount of grain and grass is wrong!"
Xuanyuan Hanmo nodded, after all, a little brain would not put all his eggs in one basket.
