The blazing flames stopped in front of the clearing.

The wind was full of energy, and the fire took advantage of the wind to jump up and Yuan Jun cut down the tree trunks that had been piled up.

The trunks of the trees burned, and the flames became more ferocious, almost half of the night sky was red.

Yuan Xu knew that this fire had burned to the end.

The soldiers carved out the open space at the foot of the mountain, and if they went forward, the flames would be nothing to swallow!

The fire burned all night until the dawn of dawn pierced the night.

The scorched hills burned with sporadic flames.

"Up the hill!" Zhang He pointed forward and gave the order to go up the mountain.

"Wait!" Yuan Xu hurriedly stopped.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who were about to step forward, stopped one after another, and their eyes turned to him.

"The fire was extinguished, but the ground was hot." Yuan Xu said: "It's not too late to go up the mountain in half an hour. ”

The remnants of the stellar flames on the hill are no longer as bright in the morning light as they are at night.

Zhang He did not insist that the soldiers go up the mountain.

The lush hills have become scorched earth with curling green smoke.

Yuan Jun waited for the ground to cool down.

Zhu Gongdao and others, who set the fire, bypassed the hill and moved closer to the army.

More than 100 people are all disgraced, not to mention the soldiers led by Ma Fei, even Zhu Gongdao and Ma Yi are covered with charcoal ashes.

"How do you make it like this?" Their embarrassed appearance made Yuan Xu feel funny.

"Phew!" Ma Yi spat out: "What a fire!" I waited for justice to be believed, and stood upwind to watch the fire, but I thought that the wind swept the charcoal ash, and my face was all over my body. ”

"It would be nice if it was just covered in charcoal ashes!" Ma Fei said depressedly: "Tell me fairly, you can come when the flames are extinguished......"

With a smile on his face, Yuan Xu looked at Zhu Gongdao.

Zhu Gongdao grinned awkwardly: "I know that the flame is out, and the ground is still very hot!" ”

"I want you to read more!" Ma Yi slapped him on the back of the head: "The roasted rabbit is still hot, not to mention the ground!" ”

Rolling his eyes, Zhu Gong was speechless for a while.

The tricks he had used against Ma Yi were returned without changing at all.

"How is the stream channeled?" Knowing that the two were used to fighting, Yuan Xu didn't stop it, and asked Ma Fei.

"In accordance with Childe's instructions, after I went up the mountain, I opened a deep trough at the source of the stream, and then blocked the original flow. The creek originally ran from west to east, but it was easy to change from north to south by taking advantage of the mountain! ”

Looking at the hill that had turned into scorched earth, Yuan Xu said lightly: "Gongsun Xu should have thought about it at this time!" ”

"Such a fire, didn't it burn him to death?" Zhang He asked in amazement.

"If it is a fire, he can be burned to death, and he will be a descendant of his grandson in vain!"

Zhang He didn't say anything.

He still didn't believe that in this fire, Gongsun Xu could escape.

In the woods more than ten miles away from the hill, three black-covered people were running in confusion.

Their faces and bodies were covered with charcoal ash, and it was impossible to distinguish their faces.

From the armor on his body, it can be seen that one of them was a general!

"The enemy should not be able to catch up." As they galloped all the way, they had exhausted all their strength, and the general held on to the trunk of the tree, bent over and panting.

The two soldiers also lost half of their strength.

They just ran all the way with the instinct to survive.

The general stopped, and the two sat on the ground with their butts on their butts, and one of them simply lay down.

"General, what should I do?" The seated soldier asked.

The one holding the trunk of the tree was Gongsun Xu, who escaped from the fire.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Good Yuan Xianxin, waiting for him to go up the mountain, he set a fire ......"

"The stream is gone, so God bless the enemy......" the soldier continued.

"God bless?" With a cold snort, Gongsun continued: "It must be the enemy army who secretly sent people to divert the stream!" Someone was negligent! ”

Although he hated it in his heart, Gongsun Xu also knew it.

A fire is kindled, and a little water from the stream cannot extinguish it.

From the moment he chose to camp on the hill, this battle was doomed!

"Take a break, I'll continue on our way!" After gasping for breath, Gongsun continued: "General Zhang has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the enemy army is 3,000, and one person will drown them by urinating......"

The two soldiers were insulted.

After only three days, Gongsun Xu was wiped out!

If peeing could drown Yuan Jun, they wouldn't be so embarrassed!

They glanced at each other, and neither soldier said a word.

Zhang Yan was far away, but Yuan Jun was nearby.

It is difficult to say whether he can succeed in escaping with Gongsun Xu.

If he was really chased by Yuan Jun, he said that he couldn't do something to lose his dignity in order to save his life!

The sun is on three poles.

The soldiers who were waiting for the bottom of the hillside went up the mountain.

The hill was littered with charred tree stumps.

Some broken tree stumps and wisps of green smoke rose.

The ground has cooled.

It is covered with a thick layer of charcoal ash, and stepping on it will stir up clouds of dust.

Two or three thousand people went up the mountain, and the dust was not small.

The wind swept the charcoal ash of the soldiers to the foot of the mountain, and the nearby trees that were not burned were also covered with a thick black.

In addition to the charred trees, there were many charred corpses of wild beasts and men on the hill.

The fire was so fierce that the enemy and the wild beasts that did not escape from the forest were burned to charcoals.

The smoky wreckage smelled strange.

All the way up to the top of the mountain, Yuan Xu looked at the east and west sides, and said to Zhang He: "Gongsun Xu should have fled west." ”

"Why?" Zhang He asked blankly.

"The mountain in the east is steep, although it is a shortcut down the mountain, it is not the first choice in the panic!" Yuan Xu said: "The west of the mountain is gentle, we are stationed in the north of the mountain, and Gongdao and others set fire to the south of the mountain. The only way for him to go is to the west! ”

Peel off the cocoon from the clues, and what he said is the way, so I can't believe it.

He asked Yuan Xu, "What should I do?" ”

"Return to the south bank of the Mianmanshui!" Yuan Xu said: "Only send three hundred people to pursue along the way!" ”

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to search for the whole army?" Zhang He was puzzled.

Yuan Xu smiled slightly: "Searching for Gongsun Xu, just to catch a live one." After this battle, he must have no soldiers around him. Isn't it too much effort for too many people to search? The smaller the number of people, the easier it is to hide the traces, so that Gongsun Xu has few precautions, and three hundred people are enough! ”

Zhang He didn't ask any more questions.

Facts have proved that Yuan Xu has the first place in fighting with the enemy.

He said that enough, there will be no more bad pools!

"Justice, you lead three hundred soldiers to search for Gongsun Xu!" Yuan Xu instructed Zhu Gongdao.

"No!" In response, Zhu Justice proudly raised his eyebrows at Ma Yi.

Ma Yi pursed his lips, although he did not speak, his expression showed disdain.

Yuan Xu then said to Zhang He: "The general and a certain leading soldier returned to Mianmanshui and waited for his father's military order to be issued. ”

Nodding, Zhang He didn't say anything.

He found that although Yuan Xu refused to serve as the chief general, all the affairs in the army were imperceptibly carried out according to his plan.
