In the face of the raging fire in the dense forest, General Zhong had a feeling that the sky was falling, and the whole person was like a deflated ball, slumped on the chair, his eyes glazed and staring up at the thick smoke in the sky.
He originally wanted to catch Song Qi, the general of Chen State, and make a miraculous feat to distinguish himself from other lieutenant generals, so that he would have a better chance of being promoted to the position of Admiral of Jiumen. Unexpectedly, the division was unfavorable, and he fell into Song Qi's fire attack plan, causing more than 1,000 forbidden soldiers to be buried in the dense forest fire.
The sudden change in the weather lifted his spirits, and the man who was blind in the slightest saw the light again.
"Looks like God help me!" He was so excited that he got up from his chair, left the huge tent that his guards had temporarily set up for him, and walked out into the rain, his hands touching his face drenched in the rain, he felt that it was really a timely rain! It's a gift from God. He looked up at the sky where the rain was pouring down and cried out to the sky, "Thank you, God! ā
His forbidden soldiers also clapped and cheered in the rain.
General Zhong grinned and smiled at the forbidden soldiers: "Little ones, find a place to take shelter from the rain and recuperate." After the rain ceases and the fire is extinguished, immediately attack, be sure to catch Song Qi! ā
The rain lasted for an hour.
The smoke over the dense forest was completely washed away by the heavy rain and was nowhere to be seen.
The fires in the forest are still burning in the woods, but they are much smaller. From time to time, the burned forbidden soldiers rushed out of the forest howling wolf, as if they had rushed back from the ghost gate.
After another hour, the rain gradually became lighter.
General Cheng walked out of the makeshift marching tent, stepped onto his horse, waved the hammer in his hand, and ordered loudly: "Little ones, go!" ā
The forbidden soldiers shook the swords and guns in their hands, beat the shields in their hands, and responded majestically in unison: "Go!" ā
General Zhong took all the strength of the remaining eight battalions, trembling like walking on thin ice, and slowly drove into the dense forest.
At this time, the fire in the forest was basically extinguished by the heavy rain, and only occasionally a sporadic fire appeared from under the big trees. But the sound of beeping and burning came and went.
A viscous mist rose from the ground in the middle of the forest, and the entire dense forest seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious force. There was an extremely unpleasant smell wafting through the air. People can't help but cover their noses with their sleeves and move on.
Everywhere you look, the charred corpses of the forbidden soldiers twist on the ground, and you can imagine how painful they struggled before they died. Seeing such a horrific sight, some people began to vomit.
Occasionally, you can see the forbidden soldiers sitting under the roots of the trees, and although they are still alive, the skin on their bodies and faces is completely burned, which is more ugly and uncomfortable than death. Of course, there were a very small number of lucky forbidden soldiers who only lost some of their hair by the fire. They knelt on the ground beside the trees and bowed to the sky, thanking God for pouring this life-saving rain into the woods in time.
General Zhong led his team cautiously through the dense forest, and fortunately, everything went well.
"Help!" The prisoners of the Praetorian Army, who were tied to the banks of the creek, shouted for help in hoarse voices when they saw the large army. They were tied up here, drenched in the rain for two hours, and they had already become chickens in soup. Some people are catching a cold and sneezing hard.
General Zhong frowned, took the reins of his horse, and asked, "What about the one surnamed Song?" ā
Several forbidden soldiers shouted at the same time on the road leading to the mountain, "They all fled to the mountain!" ā
"When did you start escaping?" General Final leaned over and asked one of the leaders of the Prausdial Army.
The leader of the forbidden army, who was still tied, replied in a hoarse voice while shivering: "General Hui, when the first thunder struck, they felt that something was wrong, and they began to flee to the mountains!" ā
General Zhong tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "It's been almost two hours!" I can't go far! How many people are there? ā
The leader of the forbidden soldiers rolled his eyes, "Not much, only a hundred people." ā
A grim smile flashed on General Zhong's face, and he ordered the two battalion officers under him: "Battalion Officer Xiao, you are in front, infantry battalion officer, you are behind!" You lead the men and horses of the camp to pursue at full speed, and be sure to catch up with Song Qi before it gets dark and capture them in one fell swoop! ā
"Yes!" The two of them saluted the final general, and then whipped their horses, led the men and horses of their headquarters, and galloped up the rugged and crowded trails in the mountains.
After turning a few hills, I unknowingly entered a narrow canyon. The further you go inside, the narrower the valley becomes. The mountains on both sides are very steep, and some of the cliffs stand upright, as if they have been cut by a ghostly axe, but they are natural.
Officer Xiao, who was eager for meritorious service, took the lead in running at the front of the team. Behind the 1,000 forbidden soldiers, armed with all kinds of weapons, quickly followed on the somewhat muddy ground in the valley.
"Haha!" Officer Xiao looked up at the flock of geese flying leisurely in the air above the canyon, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Officer Xiao Ying, what are you laughing at?" His own soldiers, riding horses beside him, also laughed. However, he didn't know what Xiao Yingguan was laughing at, and when he finished laughing, he asked the latter a question.
Officer Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the cliff in the canyon, with a conceited smile on his face, and said loudly: "You see this canyon is so dangerous, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack!" The book says that one husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened, which is what it refers to! The one surnamed Song first made a straw man to borrow arrows, and then he made a fire to burn the dense forest, it seems that there are two times, but his resourcefulness is still insufficient. If it were me, I'd set up an ambush in the canyon! In that way ... ā
Before he could speak, the horse on which he had sat neighed, jumped up, and crossed a thick tripwire on the ground. Although he crossed the tripline, he did not avoid the one in front of him. There was a thicker tripwire in front of him, and Huo Ran bounced off the ground. His horse tripped over the rope, flipped over the ground, and fell heavily to the ground, neighing in pain.
Xiao Yingguan's smile was still frozen on his face, and in the next moment, he was thrown out of the way, rolled several times, and stopped when he hit a stone, and hit Venus in front of his eyes, fortunately he was wearing an iron helmet on his head, otherwise he would definitely be hit and his brain would have been shattered.
Almost at the same time, the forbidden soldiers who were already behind the pro-soldier and ran in front on horseback were tripped by the tripping rope that suddenly popped up on the ground, and they fell to the ground one after another, and fell to the ground with a pig, making them embarrassed. . .
