This time, in addition to the 300 remnants under Xu Hai's command, there were also more than 700 Japanese soldiers under the command of Hosokawa Takeshu, and Ori Shin Miko led the remaining more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers as bait to lure away the wolf soldiers and 500 battalions to the north of Songjiang Mansion.

It is said that on the fourth watch last night, Xu Hai and Hosokawa Wushu rushed to the wild boar pass with their respective subordinates, braving the bone-eroding north wind and waiting until dawn, the sourness can be imagined, but the result was waiting from dawn to the afternoon, and Xu Jin's handsome flag slowly appeared in sight, which was really annoying.

However, as long as you can wait for Xu Jin, the fat sheep, it will be worth paying no matter how big the price is. At this time, Hosokawa Takeshu and Xu Hai were hiding high on the hillside in the middle of the wild boar pass, and they were excitedly holding up their "clairvoyance" to peep. The weeds and miscellaneous trees that are nearly two meters high all around it completely cover the more than 1,000 thieves who are ambushed on the hillside.

At this moment, Hosokawa Takeshu suddenly put down his clairvoyance and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, why did you stop?" ”

Xu Hai next to him was also suspicious, the team of officers and soldiers suddenly stopped at the place outside the wild boar pass, could it be that they were discovered?

"Xu Haijun, the two cavalry Ming army scouts who ran over just now, and a young scholar are very suspicious, our whereabouts are likely to have been exposed, since the ambush can't be done, then let's kill them directly, with our combat strength, it is more than enough to kill these Ming troops." Hosokawa Takeshu said confidently.

Xu Hai's face was a little ugly, and he said with a fierce look: "Your Excellency Hosokawa is a little restless, wait and see, if our traces are exposed, there is a chance that the Ming army will turn around and retreat, and it will be more advantageous for us to lead troops to chase and kill at that time." ”

"Well, that's right." Hosokawa nodded approvingly, and continued to wait patiently.

After about two teas, the Ming army's team finally moved, and continued to walk in the direction of the wild boar pass, Hosokawa Takeshu and Xu Hai gladly glanced at each other, it seemed that it was just a false alarm, and the Ming army did not find everyone's whereabouts.

"Come on, Xu Jin, today is your time of death!" Xu Hai laughed, took a Western arquebus from his own soldiers, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the direction of the Ming army's march and "banged" it like a hilarious "bang", probably the scene of exploding Xu Jin's head with a lewd shot in his mind.

Hosokawa Takeshu tightened his grip on the handle of the sword and teased: "Xu Haijun, you only have one chance to shoot, if you can't hit, then Xu Jin's head will be under you." ”

Xu Hai said proudly: "I'm afraid Your Excellency Hosokawa doesn't have this opportunity. ”

While he was talking, the vanguard of the Ming army had already arrived at the entrance of the Wild Boar Pass, and it was the three hundred archers of the Inspection Division sent by Pinghu County.

"What a bunch of garbage." Xu Hai's number one horse, Hong Donggang, pursed his lips disdainfully, and the group of would-be robbers also showed disdain, and continued to wait patiently for Xu Jin, the fat sheep, to enter the col, because the boss had an order, and he must wait for Xu Jin to enter the col before he could launch.

However, the line of three hundred archers was very long, and by the time they had fully entered the Boar Pass, the archers at the front had already passed the middle section, while the Jinyi guards who followed closely behind them stopped outside the Pass and did not move, presumably intending to wait for the archers to pass the Boar Pass safely before they entered. Seeing this, Xu Hai and Hosokawa Takeshu on the hillside couldn't help but secretly scold Xu Jin for being timid and afraid of death, and being so cautious through a mountain pass.

Seeing that the three hundred archers were about to completely pass through the wild boar pass, Xu Hong couldn't help but hurriedly said: "General, it's all over, let's fight, it's too late if you don't do it." ”

Xu Hai's heart was extremely entangled at this time, let's do it, the main master has not yet entered the col, if it is launched at this time, maybe Xu Jin, the fat sheep, will escape; Don't do it, watching three hundred archers enter the urn, and then come out of the urn in a grand manner, I feel extremely unhappy in my heart, and at the same time a little unsteady.

Xu Hai weighed for a moment, and finally decided to let go of the three hundred archers for the time being, after all, there was nothing more important than killing Xu Jin, so he ordered to continue to hold the troops still.

So, three hundred archers passed through the wild boar pass without danger, Zhao Datou and Han Dajie couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they saw this, and sure enough, as the commander expected, the ambush of the thieves really didn't do anything to the three hundred archers, hehe, the big thing is done!

Behind a hundred Jinyi guards and fifty personal soldiers, Xu Jin and Xu Jie stood on their horses and stood in a bun, and the latter said convincingly: "Lord Xu is like a god, and the officials admire it." ”

Xu Jin smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a fluke." ”

Xu Jie naturally doesn't believe in any flukes, let's not talk about anything else, just this kind of courage that knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to the tiger mountain is not something ordinary people can have, not to mention this kind of ability to adapt to the enemy, no wonder Xu Jin is young, he has been through a hundred battles but has not tasted defeat, Xu Changsheng is really not in vain.

Although the final result was not yet known, Xu Jie had already predicted that the robbers in ambush in the boar pass were about to come to a catastrophe, and when they chose to watch the three hundred archers pass by, their defeat was already doomed.

Sure enough, with Xu Jin's order, the Jinyi guard immediately took out the fire fold and ignited the withered grass near the entrance of the wild boar pass, and the archers of the five hundred Hangzhou guards also shot rockets at the slopes on both sides of the wild boar pass, and at the same time, the three hundred archers of the inspection department on the other side of the wild boar pass were also doing the same thing.

Now it is the season of dry air, the dry grass once ignited it caused a raging fire, the fire burned more and more, the terrifying fire mixed with billowing smoke, quickly spread towards the inside of the wild boar pass, the fire head rushed up nearly ten meters high, and the loud sound of crackling was extremely shocking.

As the so-called fire is ruthless, the horror of the fire, only those who have seen it with their own eyes will understand how terrible it is, the high temperature of thousands of degrees can burn a person to death in just a few seconds, and then completely burn to charcoal.

At this time, the thousands of thieves hiding in the wild boar col were instantly wiped out. They were struggling on the hillside, struggling in the flames, trying to escape, and the terrible screams were terrifying.

I saw countless fire men rolling down from the hillside crying wolves, some people were still running one second, but the next second they didn't move as if they had been under a spell, and they were gradually engulfed by the fire, and the fat under the cortex was soon burned by the high temperature, sizzling like fried chicken, and finally only a charred skeleton remained.

Zhao Datou and the others are all soldiers who broke through from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, they are not afraid of death, but at this moment, looking at the purgatory-like scene in front of the mountain, they are still horrified and chilled in their backs, they would rather be hacked to death with a knife or stabbed to death with a shot, they don't want to be burned alive like this, it's terrible!

At this time, some of the Japanese who were close to the pass rushed out desperately, but all their clothes and hair were on fire, and before they could rejoice, they were killed by the lead bullets of the flintlock pistol or the sharp arrows, and the corpses fell on the edge of the raging fire, and were soon roasted away by the heat radiation......

The fire is ruthless, it will not spare anyone because of who is the boss, so at this moment, Xu Hai and Hosokawa Takeshu are also struggling to escape in the ruthless fire, but the position of the two is in the middle of the wild boar pass, so there is more time for the two to react.

I have to say that when life is threatened, people's potential is infinitely great, and their brains are more flexible than usual, which is probably the so-called urgency and wisdom.

Xu Hai slashed down the dead grass and trees around him like crazy, clearing out a vacant land with a diameter of five or six meters, and Hosokawa Takeshu was even more ruthless, this guy killed dozens of people around him like a chicken, drenched the ground around him with the blood spurting from their necks, and drenched himself all over his body, and then lay motionless on the ground, waiting for the fire to weaken, and then chose the opportunity to flee for his life.

However, neither Xu Hai nor Hosokawa Takeshu ignored it, or they didn't know that the fire would not only burn people to death, but also suffocate people, because when the fire burned violently, it would instantly drain the surrounding oxygen, which could suffocate people to death......

The fire burned for half an hour before it was gradually extinguished, and at this moment, the whole boar col turned into a charred ground, and when the north wind blew, the ashes flew all over the sky, and the air was filled with the general smell of burning.
