Chapter 89: Despair
"Damn Li Gengyun, you dare to ambush me!"
The fire in the valley became more and more intense, and the billowing smoke soon filled the valley, Qian Yuan grabbed the big axe on his back in his hand, endured the scorching heat and choking smoke, and slaughtered the surrounding war horses with all his strength.
"Douse the fire with horse blood!"
After all, Qian Yuan is also a general, he reacted instantly, the truth that water and fire are incompatible, but there is no water source in the valley, and the only way is to use the blood in the body of the war horse to extinguish the flames. Soon, all the horses gathered around him were killed by him, and the scene of blood flowing everywhere cleared an area free of fire for him.
However, Qian Yuan was cleaned at the end of the valley, relatively speaking, the amount of firewood here is not much, and in the valley, the amount of firewood is not many times more than at the end, plus this fire came too suddenly, many cavalry have fallen into the flames before they have time to react. Of course, the number one killer in the valley is not the fire, but the smoke produced by the burning of firewood. The smoke spread at an alarming rate in the valley, and because of the burning of the fire, a large amount of oxygen originally used to supply the cavalry and war horses was consumed in the valley, and about half of the cavalry and war horses were suffocated!
"Got through! The general is out of the valley! ”
Finally, when the fire burned to the extreme, the soldiers at the end of the valley finally cleared the rock blocking the exit, allowing both of them to flee the valley at the same time.
"Follow me!"
Now where can Qian Yuan manage so much, the war horses have been almost killed, and many cavalry have died in the middle of the valley, the screams have not stopped from the beginning to the present, and those cavalrymen who were already desperate rushed towards the exit desperately at the moment they heard that the exit of the valley was opened.
Soon, Qian Yuan escaped from the valley with the surviving cavalry, and this time the fire ambush in the Valley of the Teeth reduced his 5,000 cavalry by half, and almost none of the cavalry's war horses survived, and all died in the valley.
Qian Yuan, who escaped from the valley, sat on the side of the road, looking at the still burning fire and billowing smoke, gritting his teeth and scolding Li Gengyun, at the same time, his personal guard came over, only to see that the other party's face was gray and yellow, and his hair was almost burned, which made Qian Yuan even more angry.
"General, almost three thousand brothers died. Ahem! None of the horses were spared! ”
After the guard counted the number of people, he coughed dryly for a while, his face was full of bitterness, and reported the number of survivors to Qian Yuan.
"Keep going!"
"General! After the fire, most of the brothers were a little dehydrated, and they were all cavalry warbands, and now it was imperative to find a source of water for all the brothers to quench their thirst and clean. ”
"Well, you have a point!"
Qian Yuan looked at the soldiers around him, all of them were disgraced, many of them even had their hair burned, and some only had a few strips of linen on their bodies, which was completely different from the previous elite cavalry situation, this appearance, if it was seen by the wolf knight who dared to come to the rescue behind, I was afraid that he Qian Yuan would never want to hold his head up in front of those generals of the Northern Yuan.
"Where's Hu Dahai?!"
"General, General!"
Qian Yuan shouted Hu Dahai's name, and at the same time, Hu Dahai, whose face was covered with charcoal, struggled to crawl towards Qian Yuan from the side, crying loudly: "The general spares his life!" I really didn't expect this Li Gengyun to be so insidious, ambushing us in the Valley Between the Teeth, I'm not a spy! ”
"Humph!"
"Smack!"
Qian Yuan couldn't help but stand up when he saw Hu Dahai's appearance, slapped the other party in the face fiercely, and asked loudly: "Where is the nearest water source here!" Say it quickly, or I'll send you to the west to see your father and mother now! ”
As he spoke, Qian Yuan raised his big axe, and the blade of the axe was aimed at Hu Dahai's neck, ready to make a move at any time.
"The general spares his life, the general spares his life! Ten miles from here to the direction of Pingyang Pass is the blue and white pond where the Luoshui branch falls west of the water! ”
After Hu Dahai escaped from Pingyang Pass, he passed by Qinghuatan and calculated the location of the two places, which is the appearance of Wuli Road, and now he is also dry and continues to drink.
"Hurry up and go to Qinghuatan!"
Qian Yuan gave an order, and the whole army set off and rushed to Qinghuatan.
Qinghuatan is exactly five miles away from the Valley of the Teeth, this is an impact plain, there are several flat hills on both sides, at this time at the back of the hillside, hiding five hundred soldiers led by Song Qing and He Jin. An hour ago, they had successfully intercepted the water in the west, and at the same time, the bottom of the Qinghua Lake was precipitated with the branches, leaves, rhizomes of croton and croton, and the whole hundreds of square meters of Qinghua Lake was no longer a clear pool of water, but a pool of poisonous water.
"Brother, look at the smoke in the valley between the teeth, it seems that Brother Yun has succeeded! The Northern Yuan cavalry will come over soon! ”
"Hmmm! Everyone get ready, get your weapons, and when the Northern Yuan cavalry finishes drinking the Qinghuatan water, the poison will attack, and we will do it! ”
"Yes!"
All the soldiers had their weapons in their hands and were lying in ambush behind the hillside, and the scouts had been watching the movements in the direction of the Valley of the Teeth.
"It's coming! Take cover! ”
It didn't take long for Song Qing to see a group of soldiers rushing towards Qinghuatan, and he made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, signaling all the soldiers to hide.
"General, there is Qinghuatan in front of you!"
"Pick up the pace!"
Qian Yuan ordered the whole army to speed up the pace, and the thirsty soldiers could already see the hundreds of square meters of Qinghuatan, and many soldiers began to run wildly and rushed towards Qinghuatan.
"Wow!"
"Ahh
"Gollum!"
As soon as they came to Qinghuatan, the soldiers who escaped death immediately put down their weapons, some used their hands, some used helmets, and even a few people jumped directly into Qinghuatan and began to drink water to quench their thirst.
"General! Please drink water! ”
Qian Yuan's guards first drank a few sips of water in the Qinghua Pond, and then used their helmet to send Qian Yuan a helmet of water.
"Hmm!"
Qian Yuan took the helmet and was about to drink it, when he saw that his guard's face suddenly changed, and then he covered his stomach and snored: "Oops! ”
"Huh? What's going on?! ”
"Ouch!"
"Ahh This water, this water is poisonous! ”
"Poof......
"Huh?!"
At this time, not only Qian Yuan's personal guards, but also the soldiers who had already drunk the water of Qinghuatan covered their stomachs, their faces were painful, and then many soldiers pulled down their pants and began to pour thousands of miles.
"This water is poisonous! Don't drink it! ”
By the time Qian Yuan reacted, the people who had escaped death, except for him and a few soldiers who were running slowly, had already drunk the poisonous water of Qinghuatan, and their faces turned blue one by one, and they squatted and had diarrhea almost at the same time.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
At this moment, Song Qing, who was hiding behind the hillside, let out an angry shout, and then five hundred soldiers rushed down the hillside under his leadership, and they began to slaughter the soldiers who had diarrhea in their hands, with sabers and spears in their hands.
"Who's coming?"
"Pingyang Guan Song Qing!"
"Pingyang Guan Hejin!"
