Chapter 395: The Shu Army's Counterattack

The strongest, the fastest update of the last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei latest chapter!

If, according to ordinary people's thinking, the fire is burning in front of them, and it is too late to escape, how can they think of this method to stop the spread of the fire?

If all the people were driven by the fire like Liu Min, then the loss of the position of Xingshi Mountain was doomed, and once it was lost, it would be very difficult to regain it.

And Wang Ping was thoughtful, cool-headed, did not panic at all at a critical time, and was in a hurry, he was able to think of such a brilliant idea, which not only saved the lives of more than 10,000 Shu troops, but also preserved the position behind Xingshi Mountain, killing two birds with one stone.

What Liu Min admires is the five-body throw, and the original contempt for Wang Ping is now gone.

"Wang Dudu, the fire in the front mountain is coming soon." Joining the army, Du Wei reminded Wang Pingdao.

Wang Ping looked up and saw that the fire that had crossed the front mountain of Xingshi Mountain was rapidly approaching them at this moment, under the blowing of the strong wind, swallowing the tongue of fire several zhang high, devouring everything, it was not far from their side, Wang Ping could even feel the pressing high temperature brought by the fire.

"Liu Hujun, how are your people retreating?" Wang Ping inquired to Liu Min.

Liu Min said gloomily: "Most of them have already withdrawn, and some of them who have not withdrawn are probably already dead." ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, Liu Min had no emergency measures on his side, coupled with the twists and turns of the mountain road and the steepness, problems occurred frequently during the retreat, many Shu soldiers were blocked by the fire due to the untimely evacuation, and died in the sea of fire, and some people were poisoned by the smoke, although there were no statistics, but Liu Min knew that at least about one percent of the Shu soldiers were killed.

Wang Ping didn't care about mourning, and ordered all the Shu troops to retreat backwards, enter the area that had just been burned in the back mountain, and clean up this area, extinguish the remaining fires, and clean up the remaining combustibles.

More than 10,000 Shu troops worked together, and the efficiency was still very high, and they quickly cleared out a piece of isolation belt that was one or two miles wide and about ten miles long.

This isolation zone is more than enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people, and there is a mountain stream several feet wide, which can just meet the water needs of the Shu army.

When the overwhelming smoke and dust hit, Wang Ping ordered all the Shu troops to lie down, prostrate on the ground, cover their mouths and noses with wet cloth towels, and keep their heads as close to the ground as possible.

Due to being in the wilderness, the speed of the dispersion of a large number of harmful gases produced during combustion is still quite fast, and only by taking effective protective measures, there will basically be no casualties.

The fire, which raged for several hours, burned from the front mountain of Heungshi Mountain to the back mountain, and finally burned to the end, because the vegetation of the back mountain was completely burned out, and when the fire spread to this place, the follow-up was weak, and the fire quickly decreased sharply.

Wang Ping got up from the ground, and he didn't care about being covered with soil, after the fire was much smaller, the dust and smoke were much thinner, through the fire, Wang Ping could vaguely see the figure of the Wei army, obviously the Wei army was also taking advantage of the fire to seize the position behind.

The danger of Xingshi Mountain is basically in the front mountain, if the front mountain is all obtained by the Wei army, then the defensive advantage of the Shu army will be gone.

We can't wait any longer, we have to do something now!

Wang Ping shouted: "All the armies rise up!" ”

The Shu army raised their heads buried in the ground one by one, jumped up one after another, and converged towards Wang Ping's side.

Wang Ping said to the generals: "The front mountain is an important place for defense, and now the front mountain is lost, and the defensive advantage of our army is gone, if you want to hold Xingshi Mountain, you must take back the lost position!" ”

Liu Min said ashamedly: "Dudu, the front mountain is lost by the last general, and the last general is willing to lead the headquarters to take the front mountain back!" ”

Wang Ping glanced at the scarred Liu Min and said, "Your injury has not healed yet, stay in the back mountain and hold the position for the time being, and the counterattack will be led by a certain person personally." ”

Liu Min said anxiously: "But the governor ......."

Wang Ping interrupted him with a rough wave of his hand, and said: "It's so decided, this is an order, Liu Hujun, you lead your troops to stick to the camp in the back mountain, if there is a bad pool, this governor is the only one who asks!" ”

"Yui!" Liu Min had to give up his life, but deep in his heart, he was still really grateful to Wang Ping, Wang Ping seemed to be a rough man, but in fact he was as careful as a hair, Liu Min and his subordinates had fled wildly before, and they were already exhausted, and if they were to fight again at this moment, they would be beyond their strength in terms of physical strength or energy.

However, the 8,000 elite soldiers led by Wang Ping have been recuperating for a long time, and they are at their peak in terms of physical strength and morale.

Wang Ping lifted a spear and shouted, "Sons, come with me!" He was the first to take the lead, striding towards the unquenched fire.

In the era of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Wang Ping, as a vanguard general, once charged into battle and fought on the front line.

It stands to reason that the current Wang Ping is already the chief commander of the Hanzhong Theater, and it is time for him to sit in the central military tent and hand over the matter of charging to his subordinates, but Wang Ping is still the same, and if he disagrees, he personally goes into battle with a spear and rushes to the front line of the enemy's battle.

Now that the front of Xingshi Mountain has been lost, the situation is dangerous, and Wang Ping does not dare to pretend to others easily, so he took the lead and rushed to the line of fire.

Wang Ping rushed out, and the eight thousand elite soldiers under his command naturally refused to lag behind, followed him in an orderly manner, and also rushed to the opposite line of fire.

Although the fire has decayed a lot, it is still blazing, and if you are not careful, it is still easy to burn yourself.

Wang Ping did not have the slightest fear, and rushed to the line of fire in great strides, rushing in front of the flames, and did not stop for half a step, and rushed into the line of fire headlong.

The heat wave is coming, even in the air, with the smell of burning, Wang Ping knows that the most terrible thing in this line of fire is to stay for a long time, if you stay for too long, even the bones can be scorched, if you want to cross the line of fire, you must be fast and steady, and the action is like the wind.

So Wang Ping rushed over in one breath without the slightest pause.

And the Shu army behind him is also indomitable and fearless, since Wang Ping, as the governor, can take the lead and rush to the front line, then these ordinary soldiers, what else is there to fear, they are rushing in and jumping over the line of fire.

After rushing over, Wang Ping did not stop for a moment, and immediately led the army to attack the Wei army.
