Wang Yuan, Gongsun Lan and the others went into the mountains and forests first, and a moment later appeared on the edge of the woodland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The woodland on the hillside is about Morich from the rebel camp and is separated by an open hillside meadow and a large slope full of tree stumps. These stumps were left by the rebels who had cut down the trees when they were camped, and the edge of the woodland was only a few hundred steps away from the rebel camp, but after a large number of trees were cut down, the distance became even farther away, which was also more unfavorable for the assault. Because the action in the open area of the hillside is easily detected by the rebels in the battalion.

Wang Yuan and his daughters hurried south along the forest line, and soon came to a corner to the southeast of the rebel camp, where there was a gap in the camp below, and a tall rock protruded from the ground, making it impossible to erect a camp here. The rebels also adapted to local conditions, using this boulder as a wall, and erected fences on both sides as a camp. But in Wang Yuan's view, this is the best breakthrough.

In the darkness at the edge of the lurking woodland, Wang Yuan observed for a moment, then reached out and took out a bamboo whistle from his arms, put it in his mouth and blew it violently, and a sharp whistle pierced the night sky. A moment after the whistle sounded, I saw that the edge of the mountain forest in the north made an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound, resounding through the mountains and forests. The nocturnal birds in the forest flew up one after another, and were startled by the sudden shouting of killing and rushed into the night sky.

With the shouting of killing that resounded through the night sky, a series of fiery meteor tracks were drawn in the sky at the northern slope point, flying hundreds of steps from the hillside and falling into the rebel camp. It was a rocket fired by five thousand soldiers with their crossbows stretched out their arms. Each crossbow bolt was strapped to a small sac of fire oil, and after it landed, the strong impact force shattered the oil bag, and suddenly ignited a pool of fierce flames. Thousands of rockets rained down into the camp like meteors, and soon there were more than 100 fires in the rebels' rear camp. Of course, shooting on the ground only ignited the weeds on the ground, but when it hit the barracks tent and the stacks of supplies, it was a raging fire.

In a short period of time, the Tang army on the hillside fired two or three rounds of rockets, turning a camp directly opposite them into a meteor hell. With the help of the night wind, the fire burned more and more vigorously, and several fires quickly rose to a height of a few feet, illuminating the surrounding rebel soldiers and horses who were panicked and shouting.

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Okay, it's our turn." My cousin Xin'er and I turned to kill, and Alo Qing'er Zi'er was responsible for setting fires, not to fight, ignite and leave, while they were in a panic, try to create more chaos as much as possible, once they see that we are not numerous, they will besiege us. ”

The women nodded in agreement, Wang Yuan reached out and pulled out the blue and shining broken army sword from his waist, and without saying a word, he rushed out of the edge of the woodland like a cheetah, and after a while, he had already rushed to the camp dozens of steps away. However, the figure around him flashed, Gongsun Lan's vigorous back passed by like a ghost, Wang Yuan only blinked, and saw that Gongsun Lan had jumped onto the huge rock, the sword light flashed in his hand, and his body jumped up in mid-air, and Jiao Lian Sheng had jumped directly into the rebel camp.

Wang Yuan rushed to the top of the rock and jumped into the camp, but found that there were already seven or eight corpses under his feet, and these unlucky people were probably killed by Gongsun Lan who fell from the sky before they could react. And Gongsun Lan's figure had already appeared in the passage ahead, and more than a dozen rebel soldiers who rushed over after hearing the news were rushing up to fight with a shout.

Wang Yuan rushed up with his sword and rushed behind Gongsun Lan, and there was a gust of wind around him, and another delicate figure also surpassed himself and fought with the enemy army first, it was Li Xin'er. When Wang Yuan arrived, the dozen or so soldiers had also counted all the accounts. Wang Yuan didn't even touch a single hair, and he was extremely depressed.

"On the right is the grain stack, rush in and burn the grain." Wang Yuan shouted.

Without saying a word, Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er flew over the trench on the right and threw themselves into the crowd of rushing rebel soldiers. The sword light flickered, the flesh and blood flew, and the pair of master and apprentice were invincible like tigers entering the flock. The rebel soldiers had just reacted, and they had not been able to gather a large number of people, but only a handful of them rushed to block, how could they be the opponents of the master and apprentice. Wang Yuanzhi couldn't grab any heads compared to them, so he simply protected Ah Luo and Qingyun'er Ziyun'er behind the palace and followed closely, and several people quickly stepped on the corpses and rushed into the place where the grain stacks were stacked.

"Set fire." Wang Yuan shouted, swinging his sword to cut a big hole in the oilcloth on the periphery of the grain stack, revealing the neatly stacked grain bags inside. Qing Yun'er took off the oil bag from her back, cut the oil bag with the tip of her sword and poured the fire oil on the grain bag, Zi Yun'er blew the fire fold and threw it on the grain bag, and with a bang, the flames rose.

"Well done." Wang Yuan praised: "Tonight, you can kill and set fire to your heart's content, and release your wildness." ”

The girls didn't know what Wang Yuan was talking about, but they didn't bother to take care of him, they were busy killing people and setting fires, and their excited little faces were red, and what was released was not wildness, but the demon in their hearts.

In this way, a fire was lit, and several people immediately moved to the next one. I don't want to burn much grain and grass, I just want to light fires everywhere to create a huge momentum. In just a short meal time, more than a dozen grain stacks were lit and dozens of barracks tents were set on fire. At the same time, there were more and more rebel soldiers chasing behind them, as if they were being chased by a pack of wolf dogs, and these rebel soldiers gathered more and more, reaching thousands of people, forming an encirclement under the command of several generals, intending to besiege Wang Yuan and others in an area where grain stacks were stacked.

Wang Yuan felt that it was almost over, the rebels had woken up from the initial panic, they had carried out an organized roundup, if they were really surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses, it would not be a joke.

"Go, rush out, retreat into the mountains and forests." Wang Yuan shouted.

"Wait, I ordered those two tents."

"Wait, I've killed some of the thieves in that way."

Murder and arson seem to be addictive, and several women are reluctant to leave, and they have to grind. Wang Yuan shouted: "No, go quickly, this is a military order, otherwise you don't want to participate in such an action next time." ”

This sentence had an effect, Qing Yun'er and Zi Yun'er hurriedly threw all the remaining oil bags on their backs into the fire, and Li Xin'er also glanced at a few rebel soldiers dozens of steps away, and was a little reluctant.

"My cousin took the lead, fought his way out, and rushed back to the entrance." Wang Yuan shouted.

"Whoosh." A burst of feathered arrows came, and Gongsun Lan, who was just about to speak, swung his sword and danced, knocking more than a dozen bows and arrows away, and everyone suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, once the enemy began to release arrows, it would be very dangerous.

"Let's go." Gongsun Lanjiao rushed out with a roar, and everyone followed closely, killing dozens of soldiers blocking in front, and rushing back to the wall before the rebel soldiers could complete their breakthrough. Gongsun Lan cut through a row of wooden walls with a single sword, and several people jumped out and rushed up the hillside into the forest. The rebels in the camp shouted at archery in pursuit, but they could only watch them escape into the forest. They would never chase them into the mountains and forests, so they had to turn around and save the fires that were blazing everywhere. The whole camp has been covered in fire and corpses everywhere by the people just now.

On the frontal battlefield in the north, relying on the geographical advantage, Liu Jun, Zhao Qing, Tan and Ping took advantage of the range advantage of their crossbows on the hillside to launch round after round of rockets into the enemy camp, burning some of the camp tents and grain stacks near the edge of the camp. The 5,000 men lined up in several rows and moved north and south along the hillside, expanding the area of the fire.

The rebels in the rear camp did not know how many enemy troops there were on the hillside, and they did not dare to rush out of the camp to attack, so they only fought the fire while returning fire with bows and arrows. The general of the rear battalion commander is Shi Chaoyi, who failed to attack the city yesterday and was demoted by Shi Siming to the rear battalion to manage grain and grass materials. He was aggrieved about yesterday's events, and he thought that it would be easier to guard the grain and grass in the back camp, but he didn't expect that when he was sleeping soundly, he shouted while the pot was fried outside, and he hurriedly got up and the rear camp was already burning in full swing.

Shi Chaoyi didn't dare to order the soldiers and horses to go out of the camp to face the battle, he had already learned to be obedient and didn't want to take this risk again. So he ordered the soldiers to put out the fire and fire arrows to resist, and could not let the Tang army attack the camp, and then immediately rode his horse and galloped to the Chinese army tent to report to his father, and asked his father to get an idea.

The rear camp and the Chinese military camp gathered in the place of Lixu, Shi Chaoyi had just stepped into the Chinese army camp, and the front saw Shi Siming leading the guards and generals to meet him.

"What's going on? What's going on! Shi Siming asked loudly.

"Father...... The enemy attacked the rear camp, and they rushed down from the mountains and forests......" Shi Chaoyi stammered.

Shi Siming frowned and interrupted him, looked at the flaming rear camp in the distance and shouted, "How many soldiers and horses are they? Have all the grain and grass been burned? ”

"I didn't ...... Only a part of the grain and grass supplies were burned, but it seems that there are quite a few people, and I estimate that there are tens of thousands. If my father doesn't send troops to rescue, I'm afraid that they will break through the camp and destroy all the grain, grass and materials. ”

"Tens of thousands? So much? Shi Siming was a little unconvinced.

"There are really so many, the hillside is full of people, you look at that sea of fire, the land of Lixu is full of people firing arrows, at least tens of thousands of people." Shi Chaoyi actually didn't know how many Tang troops there were, but by saying more about the number of people, he could reduce his guilt. The Tang army was too numerous, and the 30,000 old and weak soldiers and horses in the rear battalion could not cope with it, so they were burned with grain and grass materials. That's what he had in mind.

Although Shi Siming didn't believe how tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly attacked the camp, it was impossible. But seeing the flames of the back camp, he didn't dare to take it lightly. Although the storage of grain and grass is precautionary, if the Tang army breaks through the rear camp and rushes into the camp, then the grain and grass will not be saved, which is not a joke. Out of prudence, Shi Siming decided to increase his troops immediately.

"Chen Jianhou, Liu Zhaoyi, quickly order 20,000 Chinese soldiers and horses to reinforce the rear camp. General Gao Xiuyan of the former army was ordered to strengthen the defense of the front battalion to prevent the Tang army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the battalion. The soldiers and horses in front of the assault could shrink back to cruise near the camp to avoid being attacked by the Tang army too far from the camp. Shi Siming ordered in a deep voice, and at the same time urged the horse to go straight to the place where the fire of the rear camp was in the sky.
