Chapter 139: The Six Kingdoms Conquer Qin (8)
Dried grain and herbs are already flammable, but now they are stained with oil, and the fire cannot be extinguished until it is burned together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, there is no strong wind tonight, and if the wind rises, it is estimated that these grains and grasses will not be saved. As soon as he thought of this, Li Mu's face became extremely ugly.
"General, General Li Yi has already led his troops to chase and kill, and he must not let them escape." The soldiers next to him saw that Li Mu's face was unhappy, so they whispered to explain.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, you go and tell them that they don't need to put out the fire, everyone will move the other grain piles, and set up a separation zone to prevent the fire from spreading." ”
"No!"
The elite soldiers in the trap are really worthy of their reputation! Li Muleng looked at the burning grain pile, and those Qin soldiers who used their bodies as tinder flashed in his mind, once upon a time, there was no shortage of such iron-blooded men in my Zhao Kingdom, but now... Thinking of the messy court, Li Mu couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, the strength of the Qin State is not a good thing for the Zhao State, but these people's eyes are always on their own rights, don't they know that the country is gone, what is the use of those rights in their hands!
However, the main general of this trapped camp is also a person, more than 100 people dare to steal the camp and set fire, if it is not for his own timely inspection, he will be in danger, but despite this, at least seven days of food and grass for the army has been lost. If this person can survive the encirclement and suppression of the army, he will have to see it in the future.
Ying Guang never thought that after this battle, he could make a famous general like Li Mu remember in his heart, at this moment he was desperately fleeing with the remnants of the battle, and the torches not far behind him were connected together, like the shackles of death, once he fell behind, he would be robbed of his life. Fortunately, the high mountains and dense forests hindered the pace of the pursuers, Ying Guang and others always kept a certain distance from the pursuers when they rushed left and right, and when Li Yi and others chased to a stream, they finally lost the traces of the remnants of the Qin State.
At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and Li Yi sent people to inspect back and forth along the stream, but there was no trace of anyone passing by.
"General, it seems that the Qin soldiers fled along the stream, but they don't know which direction they are heading..."
Li Yi wiped the mud on his shoes with the weeds next to him, and identified the direction by the morning light, the ridge is northeast, and the foot of the mountain is southwest, if these Qin soldiers still want to return to the Qin realm, they have to go towards the foot of the mountain, if they go in the opposite direction and cross this mountain, they will not be far from the border of Zhao State, where there are garrisons patrolling all year round, and these Qin people will not fall into the net.
"Tell the brethren to search along the creek to the foot of the mountain, focusing on both sides of the creek, and I don't believe that there will be no trace left, will these people not be able to fly!"
As the chaotic voices faded away, the calm around the stream regained again, and on a tall tree not far from the stream, a human face suddenly appeared between the dense branches, and the man quietly stopped for half a pillar of incense, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and then he jumped lightly towards the ridge like a monkey through the branches between the trees.
In a shady place on the top of the mountain, a naturally formed stone cave was hidden in the weeds, and there was a naturally formed stone battlement at the entrance of the cave, and a soldier who was trapped in the camp was watching nervously through the gap in the stone battlement, nervously watching the situation outside.
"The subordinates can see clearly, the pursuers are indeed chasing to the foot of the mountain."
After repeated inquiries, Ying Guang let out a long sigh, and it was finally safe after a night of traveling. nodded carefully, counting the soldiers and Ao Lie, there were only seven people who broke out of the military formation alive, and as for the others, I am afraid that they will be more auspicious.
After finding a slightly flat place, Ying Guang lay down, and at first he didn't feel that when he stopped, his whole body seemed to be scattered, and he simply fixed the hour of the whistle, and the tired people quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark outside, and the squeaky insects chirped into a piece, and with the bright moonlight, it had a different mood. It's a pity that this artistic conception didn't last long, and it was destroyed by a gurgling roar.
Ao Lie rubbed his messy hair, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "I still ate before I left the camp, I'm a little hungry." ”
Ying Guang smiled: "What's so embarrassing about this, I guess there is no one who is not hungry now." ”
A simple single sentence resolved Ao Lie's embarrassment, and the silent atmosphere suddenly became active.
"Commander, when are we going back?" A young Qin soldier pulled his belt and asked softly.
Ying Guang thought about it carefully, and looked at the brightly lit company camp at the foot of the mountain along the stone stacks, today Wang Qian's vanguard army has arrived at Hangu Pass, and the six countries will no longer focus on their own small fish and shrimp, and their own group is safe for the time being. It's just that if you want to go back to Qin, it's a big problem, the army of the Six Nations will be unable to pass through the Hangu Pass, and if you want to go back, you have to take a detour! But what is on the back side of the ridge? That's the territory of Zhao, and if you're not careful, you'll be discovered by the garrison of the border, and then fall into an endless sea of people...
Between two fires!
It's not okay to stay on the mountain, not to mention the Zhao soldiers scouts you may meet, even eating and drinking is a big problem, people move to live, trees move to death, you have to leave here, since you can't go down the mountain, there is only one choice left.
"Let the brothers persevere, let's go over the ridge first, and go down the mountain to find some food first."
Xiaogezhuang is located at the junction of Qin and Zhao, and mainly receives merchants on weekdays for a living, but recently caught up with the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, and this business has become much more deserted.
Lao Getou drove the ox cart to walk on the potholed gallop road, a while ago he went to the opposite Sunjiabao to send some people over, I heard that it was to go to relatives, but which Cheng wanted to block the border, stopped for seven or eight more days in vain, seeing that there were not a few big men left in the blanket, and the checkpoint was not known when it would be opened, Lao Getou gritted his teeth, drove the car and walked a secluded path, sneakily bypassing the checkpoint.
Frightened walked all the way, but did not meet any strongmen, seeing into the territory of Zhao State, closer and closer to Xiao Gezhuang, the old Ge Tou's mind finally let go, it won't take long to return home, the girl at home learned a good cooking skills, let her cook a few small dishes, and then go to sell some wine, and rest at home for a few days, these years and months are fighting everywhere, where is not peaceful.
Turning the foot of the mountain, seeing the smoke of the village in the distance, Lao Getou shook the whip, hummed the slang of the village, and drove the ox cart squeaking forward.
As he was walking, a few big men suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, and without saying a word, they came straight to the ox cart, and saw that the clothes on their bodies turned out to be Qin Bing!
