Chapter Twenty-Six: Let's Burn (Thanks to the leader of the book friend 'Zhong Kui Trumpet')

The mountains and forests are neither big nor small.

The mountains are lush with vegetation, but fortunately, there are some paths that can be traversed by a few people.

However, if the army of Yan really wants to cross the river from this place, it must first open up a road before allowing the army to pass.

Of the 20,000 Yan troops who crossed the river this time, there were 5,000 regular elites, and the rest were temporary conscripts.

Rao is like this, 20,000 people are crowded in the mountains and forests, and there is no end in sight.

"Move that stone out of the way, don't get in the way!"

"Those trees are so eyesore, cut them down for me!"

"There's a hole here, dig some dirt and fill it up!"

Meng Le commanded his subordinates with high spirits, expanding the road in a hurry, and preparing for the passage of the army.

In the distance, there were also dozens of Yan army scouts, scouting towards the mountains and forests.

"General, general, there seems to be tung oil here!"

Just when Meng Le was commanding enthusiastically, a general suddenly exclaimed, his voice full of fear.

Meng Le was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his face changed wildly.

There is tung oil in the mountains and forests, and what this means, I'm afraid every commander knows it very well.

Although Meng Le is a straw bale, he doesn't even know this.

"It's not good, I'm in the middle of the plan, evacuate the mountains and forests quickly!"

Meng Le shouted hoarsely.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

Almost at the same time, the Yan army scouts who went to reconnoiter outside the mountains and forests let out a terrible scream.

They were pierced by a rain of arrows, their bodies fell in the forest and twitched, blood gushing out, and it was clear that they would not survive.

"Knock knock!"

The drums of war roared and the shouts shook the sky.

On the high ground in the distance, a dense crowd of human heads suddenly appeared, and they were all Zhao Guo's soldiers.

"Light the fire, release the arrows!"

Zhao Jia held a sharp sword in his hand, looked at Yan Jun who was in a mess, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he gave an order indifferently.

Immediately afterwards, two thousand strong men with a clear division of labor picked up arrows with oil tied to them.

Some of them started to light fires, and the arrows caught fire and began to burn.

"Put!"

The rocket rushed into the sky, the arrows were dense, and the flaming arrows were like meteors piercing the sky.

"Chirp!"

The meteor landed, blooming with the most brilliant firelight, and the entire mountain forest was ignited in an instant, and the flames swept towards the Yan army violently.

The east bank of Koushui.

Li belly and the senior generals of the Yan State were standing on the earthen platform that had been built, observing the situation between the two armies.

Zhao Jun, who was densely packed on the opposite side, seemed to be a sharp blade, stabbing into the heart of the chestnut, making his face extremely ugly.

misjudged the strength of the Zhao army, which made Li Belly feel that the entire battlefield situation was a little blurry.

He couldn't figure out where the 30,000 Zhao troops on the other side of the river suddenly came from.

Although Zhao Jun only has 30,000 more.

However, before the outbreak of the war, Chestnut had not received the slightest news at all, and this feeling terrified Chestnut's heart.

At this moment, Chestnut even guessed that there were more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Guyi City, and Chestnut was even worried that Lian Po had already led the main force of Zhao State to Guyi.

The cranky chestnut belly has lost some of its square inch.

He hated that all the people responsible for gathering intelligence would be arrested and questioned in order to vent his hatred.

"Xiangguo, good news, good news."

Just when the chestnut was indignant in his heart and lost his confidence in crossing the river, a herald suddenly rushed to him with a face full of joy.

"What's the good news?"

Chestnut asked with a stiff face.

The herald hurriedly said, "General Meng Le has crossed the Koushui and has gained a firm foothold on the west bank of the Koushui. ”

"Meng Le sent someone to spread the word and asked Xiangguo to quickly mobilize an army and cross the river from there!"

Li Belly was a little stunned at first, and then said in surprise: "You mean, Meng Le has led the crowd to cross the river safely?" ”

"Exactly!"

The herald affirmed.

"Hahahaha!"

The depression in his heart was swept away, and then he laughed heartily.

Even at this time, Lian Pozhen led the main force of Zhao State and quietly stationed in Guyi, as long as the army of Yan State crossed the river safely, chestnut belly was not afraid at all.

He was just worried that he would be ambushed by Lian Po in the process of crossing the river.

"Pass my military order, let the rest of the troops return by boat, and lead the crowd to Meng Le's location to cross the river!"

The chestnut belly was gone, and the order was given in high spirits.

When the rest of the Yan generals heard the news, while they were overjoyed, they also secretly envied Meng Le's shit luck.

Meng Le is just a mediocre talent, if it weren't for the deep family background, how could he be a general in Yan Kingdom?

Everyone also knew that Meng Le was talentless.

Therefore, this time Meng Le was allowed to cross the river at the lowest level, in fact, the Yan army never expected Meng Le to make a difference.

The generals did not expect that the rest of the soldiers and horses crossing the river were sniped.

Only Meng Le, a mediocre talent, commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses, but he was the first to cross Koushui.

This, how not to make the generals of the Yan Kingdom envious, jealous and hateful?

With a flushed face, he commanded the army to drive downstream, preparing to cross the river at Meng Le's location.

Suddenly, Yan Jiang, who had excellent eyesight, pointed to the other side of the river and said suspiciously: "Those Zhao Guo's soldiers who are still on the riverside seem to be a little wrong." ”

Hearing this, Li Bei hurriedly raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he saw a lot of Zhao Guo's soldiers, and they had already begun to retreat in an orderly manner.

It's just that there are still many soldiers, hiding in places with obstacles, motionless.

However, the positions of these soldiers are very tricky, which can not only vaguely expose their figures, but also make Yan Jun unable to see their appearances clearly.

Those Zhao soldiers did not retreat, and the chestnut belly had not yet seen the truth.

At this time, in the case of doubts, he suddenly felt that those so-called Zhao Guoshi soldiers did not seem to be real people.

"Damn, this is a suspicious plan, we were deceived by Zhao Jiana!"

Chestnut's face was pale, but he didn't expect that his dignified Yan Xiangguo would be played with by Zhao Jia, a yellow-mouthed child, in applause, and he was immediately ashamed and angry.

"Sangkook, look!"

Just when the chestnut belly was annoyed and angry, the Yan generals beside him exclaimed in unison, and his tone was full of fear.

Chestnut hurriedly looked up, only to see a raging fire burning in the direction of Meng Ledu River downstream of Kou Shui.

The whole forest was set on fire.

The flames and smoke rose into the sky, turning parts of the blue sky black.

"It's not good, Meng Lesuo's troops and horses have been ambushed!"

It was only at this time that Chestnut Belly figured out Zhao Jia's strategy.

Zhao Jia first divided his troops, and bluffed with real people and dummies, so that chestnut belly mistakenly thought that there were 50,000 Zhao troops on the opposite side, and he was suspicious and did not dare to force Kou Shui.

Zhao Jia himself deliberately let Meng Le cross the river, and then burned that army with a fire.

"So vicious, so cunning Zhao Jia!"

Chestnut gritted his teeth, and then said angrily: "Meng Le is simply stupid, after crossing Kou Shui at the beginning, wouldn't he send scouts to investigate first?" ”

"Order all the troops not to continue to go south and force the crossing of Koushui!"

"Today, the prime minister wants to capture Zhao Jia in Gu Yi!"
