"Boom!"

The fire burned, the mountains and forests within a radius of more than ten miles were burned down, countless animals were buried in the fire, and the foundation for the survival of the nearby people was gone.

If it were to be placed in the future generations, if someone dared to set fire so deliberately, he would definitely be severely punished by the law.

It's a pity that now in the Warring States period, there is no so-called rare animal protection law, there is no so-called environmental protection law, and some are just survival and conquest.

"Zhao Jia, it's really ruthless!"

Meng Tian looked at the flames behind him that almost dyed half the sky red, and thought that the people of Qiyuan had lost a lot of income since then, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Meng Tian did take advantage of the favorable terrain to block the advance of the Zhao army at Luoma Pavilion, and also supported Meng Yi to transfer all the grain, grass, and baggage to the city.

It's a pity that because of such a fire that can burn all the nearby mountains and fields, Meng Tian has not been able to do more.

Faced with the attack of the fire, Meng Tian had no choice but to retreat.

Time passed, and in the sorrow of the people of the lacquered wall, the fire faded its color, dispersed its flames, and even subsided the fury that engulfed all.

The wind ceased, the living died, and the hearts of the people were cold.

"Stomp, stomp!"

However, nothing could stop the knights' advance, and they trampled through the ashes that covered the road, bought the ruined Drop Horse Pavilion, and came to the foot of the Painted Walled City.

Zhao Jia stared at the city densely covered with banners, looked at the angry faces of the people in the city, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Arson to forests and flooding of cities have done great harm to the local people, and they are all things that hurt the peace of the heavens, and the perpetrators have to bear the scorn of the people.

If it weren't for the last resort, Zhao Jia would never do it.

It's just that this battle is related to the life and death of Zhao State, if Zhao Jia does not set fire to the forest, force the Qin army stationed in Luomating to retreat, and want to break through the defense line set by Meng Tian, the soldiers will pay a heavy price.

On the city wall, the flags are dense, the lineup is rigorous, and many people in the lacquered wall take the initiative to climb the city wall to help Meng Tian defend the city because of the burning of the mountains and forests by the Zhao army.

In fact, this place is the hometown of the Qin people in Guanzhong, and the old Qin people have lived here for generations, and their loyalty and affection for the Qin State are beyond doubt.

Even if there was no such thing as Zhao Jia burning the mountains and forests, the people would take the initiative to climb the city wall and help the Qin army defend the city.

For Zhao Jia, the 30,000 Zhao National Iron Cavalry led by him were fighting away, and the time, place, and people were not occupied.

"The paint wall is unbreakable, go straight south!"

After Zhao Jia learned that the commander of the Qin army was Meng Tian, he already knew that he had been a little blindly optimistic before, and it was extremely difficult to break the 40,000 new soldiers of the Qin army and burn the grain and grass of the Qin army.

Forcibly attacking a city will only attack the strength of one's own shortcomings.

"Your Majesty, let the 40,000 Qin troops garrison Qiyuan, and then go directly south, it makes no sense to deliberately leave the Qin army to cut off my back road."

"In this way, there is a high probability that we will be wiped out!"

As soon as Zhao Jia's voice fell, someone immediately spoke out, even Wang Jian showed a worried look on his face.

As mentioned earlier, the Zhao army fought away from home, and did not occupy the right time and place, if the Qin army was cut off from the back road, the 30,000 Zhao soldiers would really become a turtle in the urn.

Zhao Jia looked around at the generals and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Benjun dares to burn the mountains and forests?" ”

"Needless to say, this is Qin Land, even if it burns to the ground for thousands of miles, my Zhao Kingdom will not have the slightest loss!"

This kind of answer speaks to the hearts of the vast majority of Zhao soldiers.

When Zhao Jia heard this, a shallow smile appeared on his face, and he continued to ask: "Then you can know that we don't carry enough grain and grass, why do we dare to run around the territory of Qin?" ”

Immediately, someone replied: "This is Qin land, there are fertile fields and houses everywhere, we just have to grab grain and grass if we want it, unless the Qin people are strong and clear, otherwise our army will not be short of food!" ”

Zhao Jia bowed slightly, and then said: "The lone army seems to be fighting in an away country, but it can also abandon all scruples, and can set fire to the mountains and forests at will, send people to dig dikes, and rob villages. ”

"If we are in Zhao Di, can we dare to do this?"

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "We have soldiers, horses, and food, and we have millions of lions in Qin, and if this monarch doesn't confront him head-on, how can he bear me?" ”

30,000 iron horsemen, crisscrossing south.

Meng Tian looked at the back of the cavalry of Zhao State, and said to himself with some worry: "I don't know, whether the king sent troops to intercept it in advance, and whether there is a strong wall and a clear field." ”

After passing the lacquer wall and climbing over a big mountain along the path, Zhao Jia finally left Shangjun and came to Zuo Fengyi.

On the banks of the Qishui River.

The knights caressed their horses lovingly, washed them, and fed them.

For knights, the war horse is not only a mount, but also a comrade-in-arms, better than a lover, and the relationship between the two is difficult to describe.

Although the cavalry of the Zhao State were equipped with horseshoes, the ability of the war horse to cross mountains and mountains was greatly improved, and the possibility of injury to the horse's hooves was greatly reduced.

However, the mountain march was still a great burden for the horses, and the knights took such delicate care of the horses and let them get enough rest.

At this time, Wang Jian was looking at the east, and his eyes were full of complexity.

"Now that you're in your hometown, why don't you go back and have a look?"

Zhao Jia suddenly appeared beside Wang Jian and said softly.

Wang Jian's hometown is Pinyang Dongxiang, Pinyang is just south of Qiyuan, and Zhao Jia and others are now in the west of Pinyang.

"The people of the clan have been captured, and they will either be executed or confiscated, so what's the use of going back?"

Wang Jian remembered what happened back then, remembered the fall of the illustrious Wang family, and couldn't hide the sadness on his face.

"The relatives are gone, the Qin officials who once arrested them are still there, and the enemies who reported the news are still there, go back with the army and set foot there."

Zhao Jia put his right hand on Wang Qian's shoulder, and his voice was very light, but very powerful.

"Qin Official, enemy!"

Wang Jian muttered in a low voice.

Before the Wang family's accident, whether it was the Pinyang Qin officials or the major families, they were extremely flattering to the Wang family, and tried their best to come to the stammer.

It's a pity that as soon as the Wang family had an accident, many people turned against the Wang family, and the closer the people used to be to the Wang family, the more completely they betrayed the Wang family.

Although Wang Jian knew that they deliberately dissociated themselves from the Wang family because they were afraid of Qin Lu, it was also a little difficult to accept.

Over the years, whenever Wang Jian thought of the tragedy of the clan being wiped out, a trace of tyranny would swell in his heart.

"Mengfu, Mengwu, Qin officials, enemies, this is just the beginning."

"One day, you will stand in the main hall of the Xianyang Palace with the army of Zhao Guo, so that Lu Buwei and all the enemies will be punished as they deserve!"

Zhao Jia's voice was full of temptation.

"Your Majesty's great grace, Wang Jian will never dare to forget it in this life!"

"Boom!"

The army marched eastward, and the sun trembled, and the liquidator returned.
