Chapter 162: Burning the Plains
"I still have something to do, you go first. [Full text reading. 】”
After Mo Fei finished speaking, Xu Dahai said angrily: "What else is the matter with the general?" Explain it to our two brothers! Custody to your satisfaction. ”
After Xu Dahai finished speaking, he laughed twice, Mo Fei and Zhang Wenzhong looked at Xu Dahai silently, Xu Dahai felt that the eyes of the two of them had a feeling of looking at idiots. Thinking of the foolish things he had done before, he scratched his head and said, "What's that...... Then let's go back first, general, be careful. ”
Mo Fei nodded, and the few people didn't say much, so they quickly separated.
Mo Fei led the troops away, Xu Dahai and Zhang Wenzhong were wounded, and led these remnants of the weak generals, for fear that the Qin soldiers would go and return, so they quickly went to Yancheng.
Not long after everyone left, Wen Biyun and Zhou Yanxin, who were on the run, saw that there were no pursuers behind them, and they felt that something was wrong. The Qin army stopped where they were and sent spies to observe, only to know that they were using a suspicious strategy.
It's just that this place is relatively close to Yancheng, and after such a toss, even if you lead your troops to chase after it now, it will be useless.
Wen Biyun and others regretted in their hearts, but they were not rash and reckless, and now they were behind Yancheng, and if they were not careful, they would become a turtle in the urn. Therefore, he could only retreat decisively, which meant that this time the Qin army used its forces to take action at the expense of exposing the traitors in Yancheng, and it ended in nothing.
……
After Mo Fei and the others left the woods, they rode fast horses towards Cloud City.
Now it is late autumn, the north wind is howling, the wind is fierce, sweeping thousands of miles of land, on the plains, except for the withered grass and dead poplars everywhere, the rest is the crops of the people. Once the Qin State storms Yanyun and occupies this plain, there will be countless grain and grass stations for their own use. At that time, in the harsh winter, the Qin army will be prepared.
Now, the people of the sixteen counties of Yanyun have withdrawn to the rear, and the soldiers in the city are being pinned down by the Qin army, and these grains are like chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon them if they are tasteless. It is precisely because of this that Ye Huaiwu did not choose to burn the plains after Ye Zi'an did not burn them, but kept them.
Among the sixteen counties of Yanyun, Yuncheng is the most northern, and if you want to burn the plains, the best location is Yuncheng. Only by starting from Cloud City can the north wind be used to make the fire sweep through the entire Sixteen Counties of Yanyun.
The thousand people he led were all fast horses, carrying all kinds of torches, oil jars and the like on their backs, and they hurried away on fast horses and whips, but they arrived in Cloud City in half a day.
At this time, the sky was already dark, in the middle of the night, the cool moon was hanging high, and beyond the swallow clouds, the wind was howling. It was as if the Qin army, which was eyeing the tiger, wanted to engulf the entire sixteen counties of Yanyun. Looking at the vast plains, he stopped his horse and sat down.
The two horses that Mo Fei and Yaya sat down on stood on the high post side by side, and behind them, a thousand soldiers looked at Mo Fei in the bleak autumn wind. From the time they left Yancheng to the present, they still couldn't understand what the general in front of them wanted to do!
Originally, these soldiers were disdainful of Mo Fei, a young general who seemed to have little ability other than a hot air balloon.
However, these soldiers had experienced the thrilling battle of the day, and they had long since put away the contempt in their hearts. They are all Zhang Wenzhong's loyal generals, and seeing that the deputy general Zhang he respects is obedient to Mo Fei's words, they are all looking at Mo Fei with admiration in their eyes now.
Mo Fei stood on the high post, silent, he quietly felt the night breeze. These night winds, although cool, are not strong enough. He was waiting, waiting for the north wind beyond Yanyun, waiting for the autumn wind beyond the Heishui River, he was waiting for the strong autumn wind that autumn should have.
Although here, even if the strongest wind is encountered, it cannot be compared to the sword wind of the Western Wilderness, but it is enough to help Mo Fei burn the plains.
Time passed bit by bit, and the cool moon had nowhere to be feared.
At this time, among the thousands of soldiers behind him, suddenly, the flag hunted sounded, and Mo Fei opened his eyes that were pretending to sleep. Turning the horse's head, he said, "Today, I brought you here for only one purpose. The thousand soldiers held their breath, wanting to hear Mo Fei's voice in the wind.
Mo Fei smiled and deliberately raised his voice: "I want you to take your tools and burn the plains." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they suddenly fell silent at the same time, and then remembered the sound of chirping. In front of these soldiers, several lieutenants and Wu Qi and the others looked at each other, looking at each other as if they wanted to speak and stopped.
Mo Fei roared in a deep voice: "Quiet! The soldiers quieted down, and the horsewhip was raised to the plains behind them, and they said loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, it is now the fourth watch, and I want you to burn the entire plain at the fifth watch." If this matter is successful, the general will guarantee that the Qin army will not dare to attack the city within a month, and if it fails, all military law will deal with it. ”
After Mo Fei finished speaking, he glanced at the generals and said, "Do you understand?" ”
"Got it!"
"Let's go!" With a wave of their hands, these soldiers rode down the mountain quickly.
On the high post, Mo Fei rode a horse and said, "I don't know if Zhao Yin brought the news to them." ”
The Zhao Yin in Mo Fei's mouth was the ruffian who let him go to Qin when he left Niu'er Cliff. Yaya knew that they were the Eighteen Horsemen of the Darkness, because she was one of the Eighteen Horsemen of the Darkness.
Yaya thought of those wolf cubs, and a trace of tenderness appeared on her cold face, but she seemed to be afraid of something, and looked at Mo Fei and said, "I'm just afraid that the world can't tolerate them." ”
Mo Fei smiled and did not speak. At this time, above the plain, the thousand soldiers were like a black phantom, sweeping across the plain. Immediately, a raging fire broke out behind him.
Mo Fei glanced at it, raised his horsewhip, and rushed towards the plains with a puff of smoke. After Mo Fei left, in the dark night, the girl smiled and rode a horse to follow.
In the darkness of the night, Mo Fei led a thousand soldiers to gallop on the plains. The plains are full of dead grass and leaves, and the oil ignites it, and the autumn wind fuels it. Once a spark is lit, it immediately burns the entire plain.
At this time, the fourth watch has passed, and it is the time when people are asleep, and the entire Hexi boundary, suddenly, the fire burns, reflecting the heaven and the earth. This fire woke up Ye Huaiwu in Yuncheng, Ge Zhanlu in Mingcheng, Zhou Chutian in Bazhou City, and similarly, Zhang Wenzhong and others in Yancheng and Qin Fufeng and others in Qin Army.
These people looked at the plain in shock, not knowing what was happening, but a thought rose in everyone's hearts, that is, after tonight, the war situation on the Hexi Territory would be turned upside down.
This change in the situation was unexpected by everyone, because no one expected that this piece of plain from the Sixteen Counties of Yanyun to Bazhou City would be burned down by a fire at this time. (To be continued.) )
