Fire is the origin of human civilization. Since ancient times, when Ru Mao drank blood, human beings encountered the natural phenomenon of 'fire', and earth-shaking changes have taken place. With the passage of time, humans have gradually deepened their understanding of fire, and with the help of fire, they have completely distinguished themselves from the way of life of wild beasts. Humans have learned to use fire to make cooked food, how to use fire to drive away wild beasts for self-protection and hunting, how to use fire to keep warm, how to use fire to make tools, and so on......

Of course, to this day, fire has brought earth-shaking changes to mankind, but it has also brought endless deaths and disasters to mankind. Because after human beings learned how to use fire to assist their lives, they also learned how to use fire to harm others.

Just when Yan Chongwu and Feng Lianye, who had just experienced a big battle in Yanjiagou, returned to their own team after the battle, a thick black wolf smoke floated out from a high mountain in the southwest......

This wolf smoke was together, just after the fierce battle, Yan Chongwu, who was drinking water at this time, suddenly his eyes lit up, he glanced at Fu Yi, and drank in a low voice:

"It's finally here!"

This black smoke is actually not very conspicuous under the last glimmer of afterglow; But in the eyes of Yan and Fu, who had been looking forward to it all day, it was no less dazzling light; And this wolf smoke also fell into the eyes of Guo Xing, who was helping Feng Lian unload.

Along with this wolf smoke came the sound of gold from outside the valley. Immediately, there was a chaotic and noisy shouting and killing sound in the valley, and before Guo Xing could ask, a blood-stained young general ran from the valley at high speed:

"Young Marshal, the Flying Bear Army has withdrawn its troops, and the whole army has withdrawn from the canyon at this time......"

When he said this, Guo Xing and Feng Lian were both surprised. The old and the young glanced at each other, and then Guo Xing asked the young general again:

"Why did Ming Jin withdraw his troops? Could it be that the number of dead and wounded has reached unbearable levels? ”

The young general glanced at Feng Lianye, who had just taken off his armor and was taking medicine at this time, with some embarrassment. Feng Lian also seemed to know the reason for his embarrassment, so he didn't look back, just waved his hand back and said, 'It's okay to say it directly', and then ordered the military doctor to continue taking medicine.

"General Feng has been in chaos for a long time, and in order to save General Feng, the brothers will inevitably mess up the formation...... By the time the old general had safely retreated into the valley, our army had been more than twenty paces advanced by the enemy. Therefore, according to the situation at that time, it was our side that temporarily had the upper hand...... The last general didn't know why, just after our army had shown its declining appearance, the enemy instead withdrew his troops. And...... The way they took the initiative to retreat was also a little strange, and they didn't even arrange the army behind them, and they flocked to the valley mouth. And the last general took a look at the truth and personally stepped forward to slash and kill it. But the other party was not in love with the war, and let the last general chase and kill, and after dropping more than a dozen corpses, they all withdrew from the valley road. ”

With Guo Xing's understanding of Yan Chongwu, an old opponent, as long as there is no unexpected event, Yan Chongwu will never retreat so hastily and resolutely:

"Uncle Feng, could it be that the five hundred armor soldiers who were ambushed on the top of the mountains on both sides of our side were detected by Yan Chongwu?"

Feng Lian also raised his head when he heard this, looked carefully, and found that there was nothing unusual at the top of the mountain, and he also said in confusion:

"I have made an agreement with those 500 armor soldiers in advance that if the enemy discovers the ambush in secret, I will let the scouts who wander outside hang a red flag on the top of the hill behind us as a warning. But now there is no red flag signal on the top of the mountain, which means that the armor soldiers we secretly ambushed have not appeared. Moreover, the ambush positions of these five hundred people are also extremely scattered, and the communication between them is also passed on by scouts who shuttle through the forest. It is impossible for so many and so scattered hidden piles to be pulled out at the same time, and it is even impossible that there is no chance to even hoist the flag to warn. ”

Guo Xing nodded, and also felt that what Feng Lian said was true. But after thinking about it, another thought came to mind:

"According to the sky at this time, Liang Jing of the East Customs and his 150,000 troops should have just left the city. Therefore, the urgent matter that Yan Chongwu had to withdraw from the army must not be attacked by our army...... Ay? Uncle, you said, could it be that he was suspicious and made a posture of hasty withdrawal to lure me out of the valley to chase and kill, but it was actually a trick to lure the snake out of the hole? ”

Feng Lian also thought about it, shook his head again, and said in a slightly gloomy tone:

"It's hard to say. Judging from his usual methods of using soldiers in the past, this son has a treacherous personality, and it is best to use danger and danger when using soldiers, and it is impossible to use such crude and straightforward means; But when Fang was about to face the enemy, after having face-to-face contact with him, he felt that although Yan Chongwu was not a rude and reckless man, his mind and intelligence were his talents, and according to him, he was not enough...... I don't know if this is because he is obscure, or if he really has two faces. ”

Guo Xing thought about it, then looked up at the ambush above the valley, and then thought about the fire-causing thing buried near the imperial tomb of the Yan family, after all, he was unwilling. So after some careful consideration, he opened his mouth and said to Feng Lian:

"The city defense of the East Customs is solid, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are enough to support 100 days. Don't say that he is heavy and martial, even if he exhausts the troops of the north, he will definitely not be able to bring the danger of breaking the city to the East Customs in a short period of time. In order to avoid being tricked, the nephew wants to respond to all changes with the same, so he will wait here until the time of our agreement with Liang Jing, and then make another decision after joining forces with him. Although there is a possibility that the success will fall short, there may not be no other turning point. ”

When this sentence came out, Feng Lian was also extremely sad to hear it. Guo Xing can make this decision, which proves that this young marshal has compromised with his original obsession.

At the same time, the 150,000 troops in the East Customs gathered in front of the East City Gate Square, and Liang Jing stood on the high platform and held a swearing-in meeting.

After Liang Jing burned incense with his hands and worshiped the three talents of heaven, earth and man, he cut off his left hand in front of the generals, raised his head and drank the blood wine, and smashed the wine bowl with a wave of his hand.

"Soldiers, this battle will be our last battle with the barbarians of the Northern North! If this battle is successful, Yan Chongwu, the vertical son who has a deep enmity with us, and Yan Hunt, the puppet emperor of Youbei, will all die without a place to be buried! And the name of each brother of the Pingbei Army will be recorded in the annals of the Northern Yan Dynasty; At that time, you can also rely on the outstanding military exploits obtained by bloody battles to seal your wife and son! Worship the marquis! Live a peaceful life of peace and prosperity completely! Liang is here, thank you in advance! ”

Don't look at Liang Jing as a civil official, but now wearing a general's armor and standing on a high platform with a sharp blade hanging from his waist, he really has a trace of majestic heroism. Under his clamour, each soldier drank the wine from his bowl and shouted 'Victory!' ’

Obviously, the morale of the 150,000 Pingbei Army has reached its peak......

"When heaven and earth are united, all things are born; All things have animism, five colors and five elements. Liang Jing, Liang Jing, listen to my words: Your lord Yuanqing, cruelty to living beings, slow insult of heaven and earth; perverse and unreasonable, singing the praises of misfortune; Regardless of the taboos, the heavens are filthy; Send the people to the mound and raid the hills. This is the great sin of rebellious ancestors and humiliating the spirit! ”

It was a solemn oath meeting, but suddenly a clear and ethereal man's voice came out of nowhere. Everyone present looked at the voice, including Liang Jing, and the hundreds of thousands of Pingbei troops up and down the city gate all widened their eyes, staring at a fairy-like 'man' sitting in mid-air.

The man sat in mid-air with his hair and bare feet, and on his shoulders and above his head there was a faint flame that shone faintly in the night sky. As the inscription of 'counting the rebellious and retributing the sins' reverberated in mid-air, everyone took advantage of the three clusters of 'spiritual fire' that gradually lit up around him, and saw it clearly: although the voice that couldn't help but echo was extremely clear, the immortal who was sitting in the air was hanging in mid-air. The lips were still tightly closed, but a sad and solemn smile was drawn at the corners of the mouth.

This strange sight stunned everyone. Including Liang Jing, they all looked at this 'immortal' who had descended into the world in mid-air.

"Liang Jing, haven't you suddenly woken up?"

The immortal closed his lips, but the voice still reached the ears of every sergeant present.

However, Liang Jing is a scholar after all, and he has been in a high position for many years, so he naturally has extraordinary knowledge. Although he didn't understand the mystery of this 'immortal descending to earth' for a while, he could force himself to suppress the doubts in his heart, and said sarcastically with disdain on his face:

"Where did the Jianghu Warlock come from, who wanted to use this method to deceive the soldiers of my Pingbei Army? If you know each other, you will come over to Liang Ye and I will lead the horse and fall into the stirrups, and Liang Ye will always give you some benefits; If you still don't 'wake up' and pretend to be a ghost......"

Speaking of this, Liang Jing stretched out his hand to hold an arrow, pulled his bow like the moon, and pointed at the immortal suspended in mid-air.

"General Liang, slow down, look, we know this immortal in mid-air! He is the great shaman of Mobei......"

When the clever herald heard Liang Jing's words, he was the first to come to his senses. He rubbed his eyes and carefully observed it through the faint 'spiritual fire' beside Shangxian. I didn't expect it to be okay, it really made him see some clues......

Isn't this the Shaman of Mobei who went out of the city to find medicine?

As soon as Liang Jing heard this, he took a closer look and had a conclusion in his heart. Immediately, he loosened the bowstring that was like a full moon, and pointed to "He Wendao" who was pretending to be a ghost in mid-air, and scolded with a smile:

"If it weren't for the sharp eyes of my subordinates, you would have been blinded! What's wrong? You, the Great Shaman of the Great Desert, have also appeared? If you want any benefits, you can say it quickly, I will write a letter and report it to my family, God bless the emperor; If you think that our two families are still allies, it will not cure you of the great crime of delaying the military plane......"

Just when Liang Jing thought he had found the answer, the 'immortal' in mid-air finally opened his eyes that had been closed:

"Liang Jing, Liang Jing, it is because of your Northern Yan Dynasty's absurdity and immorality that my flint spirit came to the world through the shaman's spirit body to save all living beings. Now that you are still obsessed, then the Spirit Monarch will use the flame of flint to help you cleanse your sinful soul with his own hands......"

As soon as He Wendao, who 'spoke with his mouth closed', finished speaking, he waved his robe sleeves casually......

In the next instant, four 'Flying Fire Meteors' appeared out of thin air from the corners of the four corners above the city wall of the East Customs. Despite the fact that the light of the four fires was extremely faint, the place where they landed, whether it was a house or a warehouse, ignited a raging fire a moment later......

As the East Customs suddenly burst into flames on all sides, the body of the spirit of the fire god disappeared into the night sky in an instant......
