A long city wall suddenly appeared on the grassland, and the Ming army flew towards the city wall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Duoduo was even more surprised at this time: Let's not talk about how this city wall came out, the Ming army crashed into it so straight, how could it not be shattered?

However, since the Ming army is looking for death, Duoduo will naturally not let go of this opportunity to completely annihilate the other party. He led three thousand iron cavalry in hot pursuit, and the distance between him and the Ming army was less than 100 paces. As long as the Ming army is slightly blocked by this wall, it will fall into the heavy encirclement of the Qing army!

At this moment, a strange scene appeared that made Duoduo puzzled: the Ming army really crashed into the city wall, but it was as if they had performed a wall-piercing technique, and they all disappeared into the city wall!

Duoduo thought he was dazzled, and he rubbed his eyes to take a closer look. It didn't matter, but it almost scared him to death. The original black city wall suddenly turned into a wall of fire that stretched for miles!

At this time, Duoduo suddenly realized: what kind of "city wall" is this, it turned out to be a long grass wall made of hay by the Ming army, no wonder the Ming cavalry can pass through it directly. And the Ming army, who had been ambushed here in advance, waited until their own people passed, and then immediately set fire to the hay.

At this time, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the weather is dry and the grassland is beginning to wither. The Ming army had already prepared, probably pouring oil on the grass wall or something, in short, the entire grass wall was on fire, and the flames soared into the sky in an instant, and the flames were nearly two zhang high.

The fire quickly spread southward with the help of the wind. As the saying goes, "fire and water are ruthless", one of the most important characteristics of these two things that can devour life is that they are fast. Needless to say, anyone who has experienced floods knows that when they hear the sound of water or see the waterline coming, it is too late to run. The same is true of fires, especially in the vast and dry prairies, where the front of the flames can advance in a second with the help of the wind.

And the Qing army was originally chasing to the north, and the Ming army rushed through the grass wall, the fire, and the wall of fire to the south, almost in the blink of an eye. Many Qing troops had already seen the wall of fire, but from charging to reining in the horse to turning and fleeing, there was always time and enough distance to slow down. But the fire spread so fast that many Qing soldiers couldn't hold back their horses, and crashed straight into the fire, and in an instant they became burning men and fire horses, letting out an extremely miserable howl in the merciless devouring of the flames, and then quickly burned into black coal!

Thanks to Duoduo's horse, he was able to stop the car before he rushed into the wall of fire. At this time, Duoduo still had the heart to chase the Ming army, and there was only one word left in his heart: Run!

Most of the cavalry of the Qing army also rushed wildly and returned to the Zhenghuang Banner camp like a tide. In any case, when a horse runs at full strength, it can reach a speed of fifteen or even twenty meters per second, which is still faster than the speed of fire. Duoduo's helmet was lost, and as soon as he ran back to the gate, he rolled off his saddle and fell off his horse, shouting hoarsely, "The fire is burning, clear a barrier quickly!" ”

Fires are not uncommon in the savannah, and the damage they cause is enormous. In the long-term difficult survival, the northern nomads have also found some ways to deal with fires, the most immediate of which is to set up isolation belts, to put it bluntly, in the direction of the fire in advance to cut or burn a part of the grass, the fire burns here, because there is no combustible, it can no longer advance.

Of course, this is only a minimum of self-protection, because manpower is limited, the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and it is not easy to clear a barrier to protect the tribe in a short period of time, let alone extinguish the fire.

At this time, Huang Taiji, who was sitting in the camp, also saw the wall of fire from a distance, and immediately ordered the Qing army to open up the isolation zone in shock. The 20,000-strong army under the Yellow Banner immediately took action, wielding a saber as a sickle, and in only a few minutes, a clearing of about five zhang wide was cleared outside the camp. Of course, if they don't ask for it, they will all become roast pigs.

As soon as the barrier was cleared, the fire broke out. Because the matter was too hasty, and it was difficult to see the ground clearly in the middle of the night, the grass in some places was still not cleaned, and several rockets were still inserted into the Qing army camp.

At this time, the fire was already soaring five feet away from the camp gate, and the night sky was reflected red. Huang Taiji, like all Qing troops, stared at the fire outside the camp gate in horror, secretly thinking that it was fortunate that he was prepared in time, otherwise he would have burned the camp.

Huang Taiji himself often watches "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Zhuge Liang is also highly respected. And the point that I admire Zhuge Liang the most is that Wuhou is good at using fire to attack. Burn Bowangpo, burn Xinye, burn Chibi, burn rattan armor soldiers, burn wooden doorway, burn upper valley... Every time Huang Taiji saw this, he would praise it.

But Huang Taiji never expected that he would be attacked by the Ming army today. Although the casualties caused were not large, and the fire was effectively contained, he still broke out in a cold sweat and muttered unconsciously: "Damn Han people, they are really insidious and cunning." You can't stay here for a long time, and after the fire is extinguished, you have to quickly pull out the camp and return to Liaodong! ”

But how did Huang Taiji know that the fire in front of him was just an appetizer.

Just when the attention of the Qing army was all attracted by the burning grassland, a small group of Ming troops dressed in night clothes passed through the mountains south of Xifengkou Pass, and quietly approached the place where the Qing army camped.

The two ends of the Qing army, that is, the Zhenghuang Banner in the north, and the Zhenghong Banner and the Zhenglan Banner in the south, because they had to guard against the Ming army, they all set up strong camps. However, the part between the beginning and the end is stranded on the mountain road that is more than ten miles long. First, there was no need to camp without facing the enemy, but the mountain roads were narrow and there was no way to set up camp, so the Qing army had to set up tents for the night, and the baggage carts were parked scattered outside the military tents, and there were no obstacles such as wooden fences around.

At this time, when they heard that the grassland in the north was on fire, many Qing soldiers walked out of the military tent in a panic and looked north in groups; And most people don't care much when they hear that the fire burns on the grassland, and that there is a big mountain across from here, and they can't burn themselves anyway. Especially the soldiers of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners, even the cat slept with his head covered in the tent, thinking that in the past, he always let us be cannon fodder, this time your class of full uncles will also block the fire for us!

Therefore, whether the Qing army was awake or asleep, no one paid attention to the movements around them. This group of black-clothed Ming soldiers climbed a mountain beam close to the mountain road like a tanuki with dexterity, and found a place where the baggage trucks were concentrated. The leader is covered with black veil, revealing only bright eyes, and he has to touch it himself.

A smaller man in black next to him grabbed him, half concerned and half disgusted: "You are just sick, what can you do?" Mountain warfare is our white pole soldier's specialty, look at me! ”
