Chapter 297: Blood and Fire Have the Same Origin

Sun Kewang nodded heavily, and the two led the army to the southeast. Half an hour later, countless peasant armies began to burrow into the ancient elm forest. At this moment, Sun Kewang was a little looking forward to the fact that the other party's leading generals were idiots, and it would be wonderful if he ordered to chase them in.

Relying on the wooded terrain, he can completely inflict heavy damage on this cavalry, and it will be a great achievement at that time.

No one wanted to fight with the Yunfu cavalry in an open place, and the peasant army had fought many times with the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, and more or less figured out some rules. After entering the ancient elm forest, without Sun Kewang's orders, many peasant soldiers consciously dispersed, each looking for a position, intending to take advantage of the complex terrain of the forest to inflict heavy losses on the cavalry. It's a pity that the cavalry led by Zhou Dingshan slashed for a while and stopped three miles away from the ancient elm forest. The cavalry did not enter the forest, but ran southwest around the perimeter of the forest.

Liu Wenxiu couldn't figure it out, even if the other party didn't chase him, then he should retreat to Yuci County, why did he run to the southwest? But at the moment, there is no way to figure out these problems. If the cavalry doesn't come in, then they have to take advantage of this short time to rest. Before attacking the city continuously, seeing that victory was imminent, he was beaten by the Yunfu cavalry, which can be described as physically and mentally exhausted and demoralized.

To the south of the ancient elm forest, Geng Zhongming played with the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and he was amazed. As a leading general, he is no stranger to clairvoyance. Since the appearance of this object, Phi Dao has also asked someone to get a few, but the clairvoyant mirror used before is much less effective than the one used in his hand now. At present, the military clairvoyant mirrors equipped by the generals of Xuanfu can see farther and clearer.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, the ancient elm forest five miles away can be seen clearly. Ever since the peasant army entered the ancient elm forest, Geng Zhongming ordered all troops and horses to hide. Looking at the sky, I can't help but feel a little anxious. If Zhou Dingshan didn't arrive at the predetermined position, he would definitely not be able to act rashly. was anxious in his heart, but Geng Zhongming's face was still as steady as Mount Tai, and he didn't see the slightest panic, but Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan were a little unstable, "Is something wrong?" Why don't we do it first? ”

"No, if you act rashly, in a desperate situation, the rogue will definitely fight back, relying on us alone, even if we block the impact of the rogues, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Wait, although General Zhou is young, he uses soldiers like a god, he shouldn't be"

Halfway through his words, Li Yingyuan exclaimed, only to see an arrow rising into the sky from the southwest, followed by another arrow, and the arrow fired three times in a row, which was the agreed signal. Geng Zhongming was overjoyed in his heart, clenched the clairvoyant mirror, and said coldly: "Act according to the plan, everyone, this is our first joint operation, don't lose the face of my old department on Phi Dao!" ”

"Brother Geng, don't worry, the Iron Inspector has given our brothers a chance, if we can't grasp it, just go back fishing!" Li Jiucheng clenched his right hand into a fist and thumped his chest. At the time of Inspector Mao's death, Li Jiucheng and others were already a little disheartened. The old part of Phi Dao is not allowed to be in the Liaodong system, and it will either be kicked away with a kick in the future, or it will be suppressed and breathless. When he was on the verge of despair, Inspector Sun sent a summons from Yunfu.

It's a great opportunity, but again, you have to be capable, because the Iron Overseer doesn't have mediocre talents.

Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan quickly took action, and as soon as they gave the order, the soldiers who had already been ambushed in the southern part of the ancient elm forest placed many fire-burning objects in predetermined positions. There were also some people, carrying wooden barrels and sprinkling them, the black liquid of the dumplings sliding down from the vegetation, and the sun shimmered with a blurry brilliance. If Sun Kewang saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked and take people to flee in the direction of Yuci County. These people poured nothing but tung oil, and a large number of barrels of oil were sprinkled in the woods, and what would happen if someone set a fire?

Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, who knew nothing about this, began to advance to the southwest with a large number of peasant armies after a short break. By this time, they were no longer afraid of the Yunfu cavalry, as long as they came out of the ancient elm forest, they were not far from Yueyang City. Even if the Yunfu cavalry was fortified outside, so what? Leader Zhang's reinforcements are estimated to be nearby, and if there is a real fight, it is not certain who will suffer.

There was no murmur in the ancient elm forest except for footsteps and heavy wheezing, and the occasional birdsong in the past could not be heard. Gradually, a sense of uneasiness rose in Liu Wenxiu's heart, this is southern Jin, not northern Shaanxi, and the people here have not yet reached the point of gnawing on the bark of trees and eating all the birds and beasts. Suddenly, Liu Wenxiu stopped, and Sun Kewang next to him also turned over and dismounted, holding the reins of the horse and carefully observing the surroundings.

Liu Wenxiu touched Sun Kewang with some anxiety, and said in a low voice: "You also feel it?" ”

"Well, something is wrong, the birds in the forest are stunts, and the forest is becoming strangely quiet. The situation is not right, come on, continue to send people to the front to investigate! "Although a group of scouts were sent to scout the road before, and the news was not abnormal, out of caution, Sun Kewang would rather use more manpower than take risks. The more I walked, the more uneasy I became.

Sun Kewang was born at the bottom and did not have any brilliant military talents, but he had the acumen of a hunter, especially his sense of danger, which was generally very accurate. There is no sound in the forest, and there are no pursuers behind it, which is unreasonable.

After walking about a mile, they came to the middle of the ancient elm forest, when some of the spies sent out escaped, and they brought back a shocking piece of news. In fact, at this time, even if the spies didn't say anything, Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu already understood everything.

I saw that in front of me, there was a sky-high fire, on the left, in front, and on the right, there were all fires, and the overwhelming fire surrounded the entire ancient elm forest. The fire is getting closer, and you can even hear the sound of a lute from the burning trees.

At the end of May, the southeast wind is mostly blowing, and the breeze gusts, like a fire dragon sweeping over. In the wind, the smell of heat and burnt makes people's scalp tingle.

Sun Kewang was already stunned, he had never encountered such a situation since he started the army. It's a fire, and it's surrounded by elm forests, and it's a Jedi.

"Ah" water and fire are ruthless, never stop because of living beings, in the blink of an eye, the fire has spread, and the people who rushed to the front have no time to react, and they are engulfed by the flames in an instant. A peasant soldier screamed loudly, hoping that his companion could save him, but at this time, he was too busy to take care of himself, who still had the heart to save others.

Click, an ancient elm tree could not withstand the burning of the fire, and fell down with a groan, and several peasant soldiers next to it dodged in shock, but there were still two people pressed underneath. Flames burst up and enveloped them in an instant.

In front of everyone, life is so fragile, humble as an ant. Many people were already panicking, they could fight with the officers and soldiers, and even swim through the glacier, but in the face of the fire, they did not have the courage to fight at all.

"Run, run, run" A peasant soldier was lying on the ground with difficulty, trying to grab something with both hands, but he caught two handfuls of hot and blackened hot earth, and his body was on fire, like a wriggling fire beast. The clothes were burned, clinging to the flesh, the entire back became charred and undulating, and the red flesh was exposed, which looked so terrifying.

Run away, if you don't run away, you will all be burned here. Many people turned around and ran desperately, but Sun Kewang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

The fire is raging, the south wind is gusting, and the wind is fleeing, and the hope of survival is very small. If the fire can't catch up, the black smoke produced by the light can suffocate people and even lose their sense of direction. Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu couldn't control the people, so they could only take their cronies against the wind. After passing through the tuyere, breaking through the place where the fire burns most intensively, there is a possibility of escaping. Running with the wind, Sun Kewang is not so stupid, even if he escapes by luck, how can he face the officers and soldiers who are waiting for work?

Fire, fire everywhere, this ancient elm forest became the best crematorium. Blood-red flames rose into the sky and burned everything, and all life evaporated into fertilizer in the fire. There were too many peasant troops in the ancient elm forest, and when they scrambled to flee for their lives, it became chaotic and crowded, coupled with the thick smoke billowing out, spreading over, everyone coughed violently, could not see the road clearly, and was almost blind on the run.

Some people went to the left, some people went to the right, trampled on each other, and soon cannibalism happened. In the thick smoke, a strong man viciously brandished a ghost-headed knife and scolded: "Get out, get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”

"You get out of the way, it's fire over there, and run there" Where is the other party willing to give in, both sides feel that they have chosen the right direction, and they don't agree with each other, so they start fighting in order to survive. The flames engulfed each other, the helpless killed each other, screams, curses, and even the laughter of lost souls. This world is in chaos, this forest is crazy, and the land here is full of blood and fire.

A teenager crouched on the ground shivering, crying helplessly, not knowing what to do. No one took pity on him, someone took him to the ground, and soon more people stepped on him, and by the time the fire spread, he was already a dead body.

On the other side, Sun Kewang's subordinates, who were going against the wind, also paid a heavy price, and it was not so easy to break through the area where the fire was most intense? Along the way, I don't know how many broken trees I have dodged, I don't know how many times I have encountered danger, but fortunately, I have managed to break through. Looking around, Sun Kewang only felt a pain in his heart, when he came, more than 3,000 followers broke over, and only more than 1,000 people remained. Either burned to death or suffocated in a smoke area.

At this time, Sun Kewang was holding a rag in his hand, and there was a strong smell of urine on it. In order to survive, Sun Kewang held out all the urine he had accumulated, and relied on the rags soaked in urine to avoid being smoked to death.

The clothes were tattered, the face was black, and there were burns and burns in many places. The fire was still spreading to the north, and screams could be faintly heard in the distance.

Under the black dust, Sun Kewang's face became hideous and frightened. It's over, it's all over, how many people can survive this fire in the end? At this time, not to mention Sun Kewang, even the extremely shrewd Liu Wenxiu also had a strong sense of fear. That fear has seeped into my bones.

The living king of Hades is really terrifying, more than 20,000 troops, one by one, before they have time to fight on the other side, most of them were taken away by a fire. Let me ask, is there anyone in this world who is more hated by the living king of Hades? In this world, there seems to be nothing that the living Hades dare not do. At the beginning of Yinzhou Guanchengtou, that Geng Zhongming set a fire, and this time, it was another fire.

Geng Zhongming is terrible, but the Living Yama King is even more terrifying, without the permission of the Living Yama King, Geng Zhongming dares to do such a thing that exterminates humanity?

Officers and soldiers suppressed bandits, but they have never used such means, in the final analysis, the so-called rogues are not alien Tartars, most of them are some homeless people who can't survive. Because of this, the imperial court used to suppress bandits, mainly Huairou, and there were few massacres after defeating the rogues. But the appearance of Tiemo broke this rule of not becoming, no matter what others think, as long as he can win, he dares to use any method. Set fires, break mountains, and release water, and because of this, all the rogues are afraid of iron and ink.

Maybe it's because in the past half a year, Tiemo rarely hurts the killer, and even when he was in Zhenxiwei before, he had a peace negotiation with Zhang Xianzhong. Because of this, Zhang Xianzhong was given an illusion, he temporarily forgot the ferocity of Tiemo, and even had the intention of attacking the Chang family. Everything went well, but with the arrival of the Yunfu army, everything changed.

Sun Kewang felt that he should have persuaded Zhang Xianzhong at the beginning, who should not provoke the king of Hades, this bastard is simply a murderer without blinking, and does not treat people as human beings. Chang Yinxu is the quasi-father-in-law of the living Hades, and he did it to the Chang family, isn't this plucking the hair on the tiger's head? I don't know why my father-in-law swore that he would definitely be able to defeat Yucicheng, but Sun Kewang felt that he really didn't feel a little relaxed when he beat Yucicheng.

Liu Wenxiu patted Sun Kewang's shoulder and looked forward with difficulty, "Brother Sun, don't think about it too much, at this time, whether you can survive or not, you can only resign yourself to fate." Cheer up, the next road depends on you, the other party put this fire, must have ambushed the soldiers and horses outside, rushed out, and inevitably a fierce battle. ”

"Hehe" Sun Kewang smiled miserably, looking at the scorched black earth, the dried tree trunks burned around, like a devil with teeth and claws, "Wenxiu, do you regret it?" We shouldn't have come to Yuci in the first place, listen to me, and attack Pingyang Mansion nearby, isn't it great? The Kang family in Pingyang Mansion is also a huge wealth in Jinnan, not much worse than the Chang family. ”

Liu Wenxiu smiled wryly, "Brother Sun, don't you think the younger brother has thought about it?" But things are not so simple, Pingyang Mansion can fight, we have already fought. Not to mention that there are many Shanxi soldiers and horses gathered there, there is another important reason why we can't fight Pingyang Mansion. Although the father-in-law did not say it explicitly, he could guess that the Kang family and the king leader seemed to have some secret dealings. ”

"I see!"

There are some things that Sun Kewang can't manage, and now, the most important thing is to rush out alive. Walking through the burned woods step by step, as soon as he stepped out, he saw a soldier and horse in the distance in front of him, just blocking the road to Yueyang.
