Chapter 143: Arson

Tan Wen was angry, very angry, a feeling of being ridiculed and teased spontaneously, what was even more odious was that the bold stone pillar soldier dared to stand still and shoot at himself, was he not afraid of being chopped into meat puree by a knife?

There are 6,000 people under his command, and a person who spits can drown him, as long as Tan Wen gives an order, he will rush up and trample that kid to death with people and horses, but because of a moment of caution, he was played by the man just now, and the team of men and horses hid behind the shield and watched him swagger away.

This breath is like a fish in the throat, if you don't break that person's body into thousands of pieces today, it is difficult to understand the hatred in your heart, Tan Wen is angry, urging and scolding, dancing the leather whip in his hand with a crackling sound, and the leader chases after him.

And Ma Xintian in front of him was running wildly, while muttering to himself, to Wang Huan's arrangement of five bodies to the ground, this plan is continuous, first to lure the enemy with a defeated army, so that Tan Jun will become an arrogant soldier, and then pretend to abandon the silver car, with gold and silver property to bring Tan Jun greedy, and finally let himself pretend to be a suspicious soldier, so that Tan Wen dispelled the last defense under the anger, so several times, even if the general is cautious, he will also fall into the scheme.

"My lord is really talented, I can't think of such a plan even if I think about it." Ma Xintian looked back behind him, and there was a large piece of dust raised not far away, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the brigade of Tan Jun was following closely.

Fortunately, a horse was changed, and the horsepower was abundant at this time, although there were thousands of horses behind, Ma Xintian was unbeatable, running faster and faster, and the distance between him and the pursuers was getting bigger and bigger.

Looking down from the air, on the official road in the middle of the black pine forest, a small black dot is running wildly ahead, and hundreds of steps behind, a large black shadow that fills the entire official road is close behind, accompanied by smoke and dust, like a wolf pack chasing a lone sheep on the grassland, constantly approaching the edge of the vast pine forest.

From this point of view, it can also be seen that in the pine forests on both sides, there are some figures shaking, piles of dry pine branches are ignited, and some pine trees that have been doused with fire oil immediately ignite a fire, and the mountain wind blows, and the fire takes advantage of the wind, and the fire spreads immediately.

Of course, all this can only be seen from the sky, and the people in the pine forest can't see it at this time, and in their eyes, there is only Ma Xintian who is running fast in front of them.

Therefore, the wisps of black smoke that rose did not attract Tan Wen's attention at first, the ignition site was a little far away, and it would not burn up the official road for a while and a half, and Tan Jun, who was bent on chasing, was blocked by the tall pine trees, and no one thought to look up at the sky.

The weather in August, let alone deliberate arson, can ignite a mountain with a single thunderbolt. The dry wood and the fire soon intertwined harmoniously, and the flames quickly spread to the official road in the middle of the pine forest.

It wasn't until the black smoke turned into columns of smoke that the entire sky began to be filled with black smoke and dust, almost covering the loess raised by thousands of people running, that Tan Wen and the others began to be surprised, and the soldiers looked at the sky in surprise while running.

It doesn't take too long to think about it, and people with a more flexible mind can immediately react and catch fire!

The temperature began to become scorching, and a barbecue sensation came from both sides, the fire was so fast that it barely gave Tan Wen time to react, from noticing the black smoke column to the temperature becoming high, it was almost within half an hour.

"Big brother, it's not right, the stone pillar soldiers are setting fire!" Tan Hong screamed, desperately hitting his horse close to Tan Wen and shouted, the soldiers around him were already panicking, some people looked at the sky and some hesitated to chase forward, and more people stopped and circled at a loss.

Tan Wen wiped the beads of sweat on his head, his eyes widened, this is a thousand calculations, but I didn't expect to fall into the way, the stone pillar soldiers have put down so much capital, and they are throwing silver and pretending to retreat, they are waiting for themselves here, fire attack! How could I not have thought of it!

There are flammable trees on both sides here, the road is narrow, one road goes to the black, there is no other fork in the road, it is simply a copy of Bowangpo, is it that today I Tan Wen want to learn Xiahoudun?

Tan Wen's sweat rolled down again, and he yelled hoarsely: "Rush forward, the front is the exit, and it will be safe when you get out of this forest!" ”

He clamped his horse's belly between his feet, whipped his horse, and led his two younger brothers to gallop first.

Tan Wen thought very clearly, the stone pillar soldier in front of him who lured the enemy was also in this forest, unless he wanted to die together, then there must be a way out in front, otherwise that kid would not want to live.

Ma Xintian jumped his horse and whipped his whip, and rushed out of the pine forest first, outside the black pine forest was a slope, Qin Yiming led a thousand soldiers to guard here, between them and the black pine forest, a ditch about zhang wide and five feet deep, horizontal in the middle.

There are two long wooden bridges built on the trench, Ma Xintian ran to the front of the trench, did not stop at all, the longitudinal horse jumped from the gangplank, to the other end of the trench, a beautiful maneuver, came to Qin Yiming's side.

Qin Yiming patted him on the shoulder fiercely, did not speak, and stared ahead with his eyes, because Tan Wen had already shown his head on the side of the pine forest.

Tan Wen looked at the trench, and also saw how Ma Xintian passed, the trench was too wide for the horses to jump over, and the two springboards seemed to be very heavy and very long, as long as his horse was fast enough, he might be able to step on it before those stone pillar soldiers removed it, as long as a few people passed, he would definitely be able to occupy the springboard.

He became more and more anxious, and he couldn't stop yelling: "Quick! Speed up, take that single-plank bridge! ”

Those who followed him were all pro-soldiers, regardless of their martial arts and guts, they were a lot higher than the miscellaneous soldiers, and at this moment there were already people urging the horses to gallop wildly, while taking bows and arrows, or drawing knives and holding spears, and they were going to fight hard.

The horses' hooves were galloping, the trench was getting closer and closer, and the way of life was getting closer and closer, and standing on the edge of the trench, there were only three or two soldiers, and the other brigade of stone pillar soldiers stood far away from the trench more than ten paces away, forming a horizontal formation.

Standing so far away, as long as he crossed the ditch, that little person couldn't stop the cavalry attack at all, Tan Wen was already smiling, and even had already put a little thought into it, and began to think about how to kill the stone pillar soldiers on the other side of the trench.

But in the next second, his heart suddenly froze, his eyes widened and he looked at the ditch, and shouted hoarsely: "No~~!! ”

I saw the three soldiers standing on the edge of the trench, and the leader took out a fire fold, carefully lit it, took two steps back, and then threw it into the trench.

A flame burst out of the trench like a volcanic explosion, soaring more than a foot into the air, and then extending like a wall of fire to both ends with great speed, and almost instantly, the wall of fire locked the exit of the pine forest, and the striking flames made it impossible to get close to half a minute.

It turned out that the trench was filled with dry firewood, and a lot of fire oil was poured into it, and the wall of fire, which was a few feet wide, could not have leaped in any way, and in doing so, it would either fall into the fire pit and burn to death, or it would be scalded to death by the heat before it could get close.

The pine forests on both sides had already been lit with fires, and it was impossible to escape into the forest and then penetrate out, but at this time, Tan Wen finally understood why those stone pillar soldiers were standing so far away from the trench, because they were afraid of being roasted by the flames!

The soldiers of the Tan family hurriedly stopped more than ten steps away from the fire wall, and a few people couldn't stop their horses, and almost rushed into the fire pit, burned off some of their hair by the flames, and turned back with a disgraced face.

"Big brother, what should I do?" Tan Zhi was sweating from the heat wave, although there was no fire on the official road, but the high temperature was already a little unbearable.

Tan Wen looked at the trench with fixed eyes, and knew in his heart that he couldn't go no matter what, he took a deep breath, his mind was spinning sharply, and he thought of a way to get out.

"Let's go! Turn around and go back, we walked the way we came just now, there is no ditch there, it is impossible to dig a trench in such a short time, we have horses, we can rush back before the fire burns, hurry! Tan Wen reacted instantly.

For today's plan, there is no other way than to fight a way out of the way from the beginning, the person who set up this fire plan is a talent, and he will definitely set up an ambush on the way he came, and he will not leave himself an opportunity.

But if you don't look back, you will be burned here, and Tan Wen has no second way to go.

Tan Zhi and Tan Hong heard his words, and immediately shouted and urged their soldiers to gather and turn around to form a shock formation, because a large number of foot soldiers following behind them blocked the way, and they had to rush out of a road with cavalry, otherwise they would not be able to go back at all.

"Get out of the way! Let the general go! The soldiers shouted, turned their spears upside down, and whipped the foot soldiers crowded on the official road.
