Blazing flames rose from the earth, forming a wall of fire that separated the two sides. And in the midst of this flame, there were screams and howls of pain. Some of them were ignited and rushed out of the fire, either rushing to the chariot formation of the Huashan army, or rushing back to the side of the Hun army.

Whether it is the Huashan army or the Huns, the practice at this time is almost the same, that is, to shoot all these running fire balls, so as not to bring the fire over. Even those who have experienced a hundred battles can't help but turn pale after hearing the terrible voices of those Hun soldiers in the fire.

Liu Weichen looked at this scene from afar, and immediately became angry, looked back at the people behind him, and scolded: "What's going on? Why did Huashan military take precautions first? Could it be that our army ~ has made a detailed work, and someone leaked the news? ”

In his mind, only under such circumstances would such a result be formed. Otherwise, how can we explain the situation in front of us?

"Shan Yu, I'm afraid this is not the news that has been leaked out by the details, but they expected in advance that we might attack with fire. Otherwise, if they had known about our specific methods, I am afraid they would not have used this method to attack. After all, after this fire burns, although we can't attack them, they can't fight either! "The generals next to me, you look at me, I look at you, they all feel a little wronged, and a tribal lord said.

Hearing this, Liu Weichen calmed down in his heart. After all, what he said also makes a lot of sense. But the situation in front of him clearly told him that all the previous ideas had failed.

Fortunately, it is the west wind that is blowing now, and if it is the east wind, I am afraid that this fire will now burn directly on his body. This is also one of the reasons why he agreed to use the fire attack technique before, because his side happened to be upwind, and Li Erhei's side was just downwind.

In addition, the terrain of this area is flat, and many dry plants and trees on the ground are good starters. Therefore, once burned, it is very easy to connect together.

But the current situation is obviously completely different from what was previously envisaged. The first one is that the fire did not burn into the Huashan army's car formation, but burned more than a hundred zhang in front of the formation. Although the wind was not small, the fire did not roll to the side of the Huashan army in the end.

On my side, there was a lot of dry grass and trees on the ground, so even in the case of headwinds, the fire was slowly spreading to my side. Maybe it won't be long before the fire will go straight to the place where I'm standing now.

"Shan Yu, we have to quickly find a way to stop the fire, otherwise, if the enemy is not burned to death, we will make a big mess ourselves!" The tribal leaders next to them saw this scene and suggested one after another.

The power of wildfires on the grasslands has been seen by these people who live on the grasslands all year round. Although it is said that the place at the moment is not as good as the grassland, in fact, the difference is not very big.

"Why didn't the Huashan Army burn it down?" Liu Weichen had a cold face, hoping that the fire would spread to the east. But after watching it for a while, I found that the scene I imagined did not appear.

"It looks like they've cleaned up the front of the battle beforehand, and if you look at the places in front of the battle, it looks like they're already covered in mud. However, the soil is about the same color as the dry grass and trees, so we can't see it from a distance! The person next to him took a closer look before he spoke.

"Damn it! The Huashan Army was really prepared! Send the order down, gather the army, put it on strict guard, and let people immediately take soil to cover the ground and cut off the fire! When Liu Weichen heard this, he immediately said angrily.

Soon, the Xiongnu army retreated several miles away. With the efforts of these tens of thousands of troops, things were still easy to do, and it didn't take long for a separation zone to be established. The fire slowly extinguished after burning the narrow strip of land between the two armies.

As a result, the two armies became bare. Liu Weichen did not rashly launch an attack again, because he had no better way now, and if he sent people up, it would only increase casualties.

In the end, this battle ended again, and after Liu Weichen suffered more than 3,000 casualties, he had to lead the demoralized army back into the camp, wanting to think about countermeasures again.

"You can't fight and you can't fight, you can't retreat and you can't retreat, but now it's a plan, what do you think?" Alone in the tent, Liu Weichen frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Where can the others do anything, everyone understands, this time everyone is afraid that they are facing a difficult choice.

"If we had attacked immediately when we learned that the reinforcements from the Huashan Army had arrived, maybe this situation would not have happened." After a long time, a tribal leader standing at the end muttered quietly.

Liu Weichen's ears were quite good, and he was stunned to hear this, and his heart was suddenly furious, his eyes looked at that person like a knife, and said slowly: "So, do you think there is a problem with Ben Danyu's original decision?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! How dare the villain question Shan Yu's decision! The man was startled and hurriedly bowed down.

When Liu Weichen saw this, he didn't pursue it anymore. However, he looked at everyone's expressions and knew in his heart that I am afraid that many people are blaming themselves for not retreating in time at this time. So much so that later, the army of the Huashan Army successfully encircled and surrounded himself and others.

"Alone, to say something unpleasant, we are now like birds in a cage. Especially in order to prepare butter and sheep fat before, we almost killed all the cattle and sheep with the army. Although there is no need to worry about food in the short term, I am afraid that there will still be problems after a long time. The only way to do this is to give up those unrealistic ideas and think about breaking through! After a long silence in the tent, a man finally stood up and spoke.

"Yes, yes, we should think of a way to break through!"

"That is, seeing that in another month, the weather will be cold, if we don't go back early, there will be no one to take care of the cattle and sheep at home!"

"Shan Yu, let's think about how to break through! Everyone wants to go back now! ”

......

As soon as someone started to start, everyone below shouted. In the case of several failed challenges in a few days, it was really uncomfortable for these Huns who came and went like the wind. Especially when there is no hope, no one wants to stay here and wait for death.

"Do you think the Huashan Army will let us leave like this? They finally surrounded us, how could they let us break out easily? If you all think so, come up with some workable strategies! Seeing the situation in front of him, Liu Weichen had to sigh and say.

He didn't want to stay any longer, as cunning as he was, he already felt the danger. In this case, it is naturally safer to go back to your lair and stay. Now he finally regrets being too greedy before.

Liu Weichen's words were not unreasonable, so after everyone heard it, they all began to think about it.

And just when they were thinking about getting out, Li Xin, who set off from Chang'an, led an army of 10,000 people, and finally rushed to Sanshui County after traveling day and night. At this time, they were about a hundred miles away from the place where Li Erhei and the others were fighting, and if the speed was fast enough, one day and one night would be enough.

After Li Xin passed Wushi County, he did not go directly north to Zhujuan County, but turned east into Sanshui County. This is because he constantly got the news from the front on the road, and after considering the situation comprehensively, he readjusted the deployment.

"General, now General Li and they are in a big battle with the Huns, relying on the advantage of the chariot formation, they have thwarted several Hun attacks in the past few days. Today's Xiongnu army has about 20,000 people left. Li Xin did not enter the city, but camped outside the city, and Tu Qi was reporting the latest news on the side at this time.

"The power of the Huns is great, not to be underestimated! Liu Weichen has always been cunning, greedy and profitable, if he continues to fight, he may lose all his old bottom. In my opinion, they should be thinking about how to break through now. After Li Xin heard this, he pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Even if they want to break through, with the strength of our car formation, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it!"

"People come up with all the solutions! Besides, there is no absolutely solid fortress in this world, once the other party is determined to leave, there will definitely be a way, it is just a matter of how much to pay. The trapped beast is still fighting! We've got to be careful! The order went down, and the army set off tomorrow morning and quickly rushed to the southern foot of Niushou Mountain! Li Xin was not as confident as him, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the subordinates will go down immediately to give orders!"

Liu Weichen discussed for more than two hours, and finally came up with a result at this time.

"King, although the car array on Li Erhei's side is strong, the number is too small after all. We might as well send some troops to feint on the front, and then concentrate our troops and horses to break through from both flanks. After all, the defense of their two wings is relatively weak, and it should be difficult to stop our rapid charge when it is difficult to move! In the end, the strategy proposed by one person to divide the troops and break through was recognized by everyone.

"Well, that's a workable idea! Besides, there are still some superfluous cattle and horses in our camp, so in the opinion of this single Yu, it is better to drive them to the battlefield and use them to impact Li Erhei's car formation! In this way, we can also reduce our losses and allow more soldiers to break out! Liu Weichen suddenly thought of a fire bull array, and this plan was immediately unanimously agreed by everyone.
