Xi Zhen's sneak attack failed, and the entire ridge turned into a scuffle. In the dark night, there was no longer a distinction between friend and foe, only the chaotic figures, only the sound of swords and guns, the screams of dying, and the shouts of each other, brothers and enemies.

And just when Xi Zhen was fighting hard, at the foot of the mountain in the north, there was a shouting of killing, and Bai Bo's 1,000 fresh troops came up.

Xi Zhen wiped the liquid on his face that he didn't know if it was blood or sweat, and looked at the battlefield in the darkness where it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that it is a great mistake to arrange for a large group of people to stay behind in order to avoid startling the snakes.

Now that Bai Bo's men and horses have rushed up the ridge, if he doesn't withdraw with his few remaining brothers, he will be completely wiped out in this chaotic battle, and his personal bravery will definitely not play any role in turning the tide of the battle in the melee of thousands of men and horses. So Xi Zhen made a decisive decision: "Retreat, we retreat." Then, after carrying his big gun, he covered his brothers, who were less than a hundred, and slowly retreated to the foot of the mountain, waiting for the arrival of the brigade before launching a strong attack.

Bai Bo's team retreated, and he didn't know the reality of the other party, so he didn't dare to pursue again. At the same time, everyone was only half a bowl of grassroots food, after half a night of consumption, the stomach was already empty, and after such a scuffle, one by one was already exhausted, exhausted, and even the shouts of cheering victory had no strength, so everyone sat on the ridge panting, guarding against another sneak attack by the officers and soldiers.

After a fight, Xi Zhen retreated to the foot of the mountain with the team, and counted it, in this melee, the 200 brothers he brought with him also died and lost more than 50 people, this loss is still acceptable for Xi Zhen.

Everyone just took a breath, and the team behind them rushed up, and the commander Guan Min saw Xi Zhen and asked about the battle situation, and he was helpless in the face of the high black and secluded ridge, and it was impossible to sneak attack again.

But the battle must continue, comrades-in-arms must rescue, do not abandon the slogan of not giving up, and must be firmly implemented.

At this time, the south wind of early spring is howling and blowing, shaking the dead grass and shrubs on the hillside in winter, like countless ghosts, making people feel chills in their backs.

A tun commander in charge of logistics stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Lord Sima, Lord Junhou, the weather is too cold, do you want to boil some water, let the soldiers drink some warmth and ease first, and then fight." ”

Xi Zhen waved her hand and scolded with a smile: "You idiot, this windy day, artemisia grass and shrubs everywhere, you still haven't burned our joint venture?" ”

As a result, when Xi Zhen said this, Guan Min suddenly jumped to his feet: "Burn the company camp, yes, we will burn the company camp." ”

At that time, Xi Zhen frowned and asked: "What are you talking about, you are sick, you are still right to burn our joint venture, which gang are you?" But then he suddenly understood: "Yes, yes, yes, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the weather is dry, so we will give him a fire to burn the company camp." ”

"Master Sima is wise, we will burn them rabbits." Guan Min didn't forget to pat Xi Zhen's sycophant at this time.

Xi Zhen went up and kicked it: "Don't pat me on the back, this success, this first great achievement is yours, no one will rob you, maybe the lord will be happy, and you will be promoted to be a Sima." ”

"Being able to sit on an equal footing with Lord Sima is really looking forward to the last general." Guan Min muttered with infinite yearning.

Xi Zhen poured a basin of cold water on him: "In the future, in terms of meritorious deeds, even if your military rank is Sima, you are still a thousand-commander, and I am still your boss Commander Wan, at this time, you want to be on an equal footing with me, you kid is still the opposite." ”

Jokes aside, Xi Zhen immediately ordered a thousand soldiers, all of them lit torches, and then lined up at the foot of the mountain, just in the inexplicable remnants of the yellow turban on the mountain, the torches were thrown to the thatched shrubs at the foot of the mountain, in the fierce south wind, the fire burst into a roar, just in the blink of an eye, it became a prairie fire, like tens of millions of golden black birds, with the cold wind, spread to the mountain at an alarming speed, and in a blink of an eye, this piece of mountain was burned into a sea of fire.

This fire, the burning Bai Bo army was caught off guard, the grass and trees on the mountain were dense, the south wind was howling and urgent, the fire and smoke were like a giant dragon and beast, rising and circling and pounced on the hill, and immediately became a prairie fire, and the remnants of the yellow turban on the burning ridge were flying and jumping.

Taking advantage of this time, Xi Zhen yelled at the brothers behind him: "Brothers, for the sake of our oath, don't abandon, don't give up, rush-" As he spoke, the first one waved his big gun, stepped on the ashes of the burning fire, and rushed towards the enemy's defensive line - the ridge with a shout.

The power of the fire is no one can stop, following the crazy rising line of fire, Xi Zhen and his brothers easily led the ridge that had escaped, and now, the fire is burning down the mountain, although there is no south wind to cheer on, but the dry grass and trees still let the fire quickly spread to Bai Bo's camp, so Bai Bo's few belongings were also turned into ashes in the fire.

Bai Bo was supported by the guards and fled from the fire, and in an inexplicable fire, Bai Bo knew bitterly that this battle had failed.

When the remnants of the army were being reorganized with a burnt white wave and a gray face, on the ridge, a mighty and resolute officer army, holding a snow-bright spear, advanced down the mountain and towards his own ranks.

Looking at the majestic and determined team under the rising sun, and then seeing the Yang Feng team that was surrounded on the hill and rushed to kill excitedly, Bai Bo did not make the last struggle to resist, but announced with hunger, cold, and demoralization that the whole army retreated westward, withdrew from Luxian, and looked for other possible places to stand.

Yang Feng punched Xi Zhen hard, and then complained after two bowls of cold water: "I thought that your kid left us alone, but I didn't expect your kid to be righteous and didn't leave us." ”

Xi Zhen said with a smile: "How can it, the slogan of not abandoning and not giving up is not shouted in vain, we are brothers, brothers who share life and death." Yang Feng and his brothers really understood the meaning of this slogan at this time.

"What should we do next, should we retreat to Lu County, or continue south?" Yang Feng willingly asked Xi Zhen for instructions.

"According to the confession of the prisoners we caught, the Ding family has a comprehensive counterattack this time, there is no dangerous terrain in the lord's place, and there are no extra people and horses, and this batch of grain and grass is needed more, therefore, for the safety of the lord, we must go south to rescue the lord, as for Lu County, I think there are two Zhang Yan and Xu Jie, there should be no major mistakes, even if there is some danger, Zhao Quan in the north will also send troops to rescue, now, we go south and join the lord."
