Chapter 14: The Flames

Ten days have passed in a flash. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Finally, it was time to attack the mountain, and on this day, Du He recruited the generals.

More than a dozen generals of Xue Yantuo were like bulls in heat, their eyes red.

The people on the grassland are good at fighting, and they have a different kind of dedication to military exploits, and Du He has avoided the war for half a month, just like a spring, squeezing their fighting spirit and fighting spirit into one place. On the day of this battle, it officially broke out.

Du He said loudly: "After many days of careful investigation, it has been determined that the group of horse thieves in Mohe Baha was forced by us to the depths of the mountains and forests. I decided to divide my troops into five routes, and to encircle and annihilate the thieves on the five main roads. Whoever first breaks through Mohe Baha's fortress at the back peak of the Yudu Army Mountain will be the first priority. The warrior who breaks through the door first is regarded as a thief. I will certainly repay their deeds to the Khan of Yinan...... However, if I let the army led by me break through the cottage first, you will not be able to share in any reward. ”

He grinned lightly, as if victory was a breeze for him.

As soon as the generals heard Du He's words, their already red eyes were dyed with a different color again.

Although they no longer have any contempt for Du He, Du He is still a hairy boy and a foreigner in their eyes. How could they bear to lose to a foreign hairy boy?

This invisible agitation has stimulated the enthusiasm of all the soldiers.

Dadushi looked at it coldly, and Du He's intentions naturally understood in his heart. He deliberately made the generals feel like they were comparing, so that these generals would fight the strikers and die.

However, he didn't speak, just watched coldly, he already knew the overall layout, Du He's strategy would eventually fail, and the result was the same whether he said it or not.

Under the deployment of Duhe, the army of five routes, 100,000 horses, and five roads up the mountain from the east, south, west, north, and southwest at the same time, marched in unison.

Du He asked a general named Xi Wei to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to open the way in front, and he and two guards accompanied him in the rear.

The remaining four roads were all led by Xue Yantuo's general.

Dadu did not go with the army.

Du He intended to let him lead the way, but he refused under the pretext that the camp needed to be guarded. He knew Yuwen Bowei's plan, and knew that the four armies except Du He would not encounter any enemies, so there was no need for him to accompany him at all.

The commander in charge of the army on the eastern route was Barros who confronted Duhe at the last military meeting and made Duhe scold him for being a pig's head. At the military meeting, he gave Du He a full humiliation, which he regarded as a great shame and could not let go. wants to take revenge, but in the face of Du He, the commander of the three armies, how can he be presumptuous?

It wasn't until today that he looked for an opportunity to be ashamed, thinking of Du He's proud appearance before he set out on the expedition, he didn't get angry, and said in his heart: "Treat all our warriors in Xue Yantuo as pigs' heads, and dare to ignore them directly?" When I break the cottage, I'll settle accounts with you again. ”

Thinking so in his heart, Barros mustered up all his strength, bared his teeth and shouted, and kept urging his soldiers and horses to move quickly.

The mountain is steep, and the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk. Xue Yantuo's soldiers have long been accustomed to the life of riding horses, and their efforts are not very good. This is their shortcoming. In addition, after only three hours of travel, the 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Barros were exhausted and exhausted.

It was noon, and even though it was winter, Barros was still sweating like rain, and he felt like smoke was coming out of his throat. He licked his chapped lips, took off the kettle and shook it, and poured it into his mouth again, not a drop of water, half an hour earlier, he had drunk it dry.

He took off his bearskin coat and let the cold wind blow, and the beads of sweat stimulated him by the cold wind made him can't help but snort. Suddenly I was shocked, and I hurriedly looked left and right, only to see that the soldiers were all about the same, and they were tired enough, and they shouted: "It's not good!" ”

After all, he was a veteran of the battle and had a lot of experience, and when he saw this situation, he immediately realized that he was about to be done, and he was more eager to win, but he ignored the physical exertion of the soldiers. He looked left and right: the place where they were was a long and narrow mountain road, with steep mountain walls and dry thorn bushes on the left and right, and there was not even a place to rest, so he could only say, "Slow down and find a place to rest the whole army." ”

The soldiers were greatly relieved when they received the order.

But at this moment, an amazing change occurred.

Suddenly a shrill birdsong was heard.

Bang bang!

The sound of various clay pots falling to the ground came one after another.

None of Xue Yantuo's soldiers were mentally prepared, and they couldn't help but be in an uproar.

Barros looked up in amazement, and couldn't help but gasp: a can of crockpots, connected with ropes, fell from the sky and smashed into the crowd. The crockpot was not sealed, and when it fell to the ground and smashed on people, the liquid in the jar splashed everywhere.

In an instant, a smell rushed to the nose and permeated the entire mountain road.

Baros changes color when it washes down, and the smell of the nose is oil.

"Removal ......"

Before he could utter his words, scattered rockets came more and more into the air.

There are not many rockets, but there are thousands of crockpots falling from the sky.

The fire burns when it meets oil, and in an instant, I only hear a loud "boom", thick smoke rises with the wind, and the flames in the forest have risen into the sky!

It is a long and narrow mountain road, surrounded by dry thorn bushes.

At the same time, the climate on the steppe is dry, and although it is winter, there is only strong winds, no rain or snow.

With the help of the wind, the oil, and the dry thorn bushes, the scattered rockets were like sparks burning in the prairie fire, attacking so fast that half of the sky was burned red in the blink of an eye. The fire spread like a galloping horse, and in an instant, it swept through the entire forest, causing a monstrous flame.

The original neatly organized troops immediately collapsed into a plate of scattered sand under the power of nature, and in the face of this sudden situation, Xue Yantuo's soldiers were unprepared and pushed and fled in the narrow mountain pass.

In this terrible situation, they tried to escape in despair, and their weapons and armor were abandoned to the ground because they could not be loaded. The wretched creatures who had not escaped because of their crowding and sluggishness had become sacrifices to the god of fire, turning into balls of fire, wailing and dancing wildly in the blazing red light until their lives were consumed by the flames.

People are selfish, especially when their lives are threatened, and few people can embody a selfless mind.

At this moment, the cruelty of human nature is also fully revealed: people crowd people, people step on people, people push people, and there are countless people.

Although they did not raise butcher knives against their own compatriots, these practices did not make it easy to send them to the cemetery with their own hands.

Just as Barros was in distress, the other three armies suffered the same fate.

They were in a hurry, and did not slow down their march, even more so than Barros.

Under the circumstance that the enemy shadow was not seen, Xue Yantuo's four-way army paid a heavy price.

Let's talk about the army of the South Road led by Du He.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers were not good at walking mountain roads, and they were tired and exhausted, but Du He had no effect at all. He has a world-class skill, and he has never walked very hard, not to mention a mere mountain road, even if it is a cliff, he can't help him.

Step by step, he was at ease, and the guards around him looked at Du He, who didn't even leave a drop of sweat, and faintly cast a look of admiration.

The peoples on the grassland eat the strong and attach great importance to force, and they have a lofty yearning and admiration for the strong. Du He's martial arts are better than magnanimity, and it has long been spread in Xue Yantuo, but not many people believe in it. Now Duhe's performance makes them realize that this young boy is more capable than they imagined. At least physically, outsmarting all of them.

Du He turned a blind eye to the gaze around him, his eyes scanning back and forth on the left and right of the mountain road, and he was thinking about his whole plan.

Barros's encounter with the other three-way army was naturally the work of Duhe.

When Yi Nan promoted him to be the commander of the three armies that day, Du He was suspicious in his heart, and felt that Xue Yantuo had bad intentions, but he didn't see through his intentions for a while. It wasn't until I found that the cotton clothes were insufficient, that I realized in my heart and realized Yi Nan's sinister intentions.

Duhe originally only planned to use them to deal with Mohe Baha, as long as he avenged their attack on Ashina Sheer and lost their thinking, it would be forgotten. Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and Xue Yantuo will not dare to play any small tricks in the dark before Datang has no bright sword.

But when he found out Yi Nan's intentions, he immediately changed his mind: all this is not over yet.

Duhe has never been a good person, not the kind of person who makes people calculating and indifferent. He has always believed that people respect me for a foot, and I am a foot for a person, and he is the kind of person who gives a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

Yi Nan was secretly playing tricks and wanted his life, so he naturally didn't plan to make Yi Nan feel better.

So he secretly planned all this.

At first, he was only suspicious, but after Tuoba Mushuang's confirmation, the plan gradually unfolded.

He put himself in his shoes, and by standing in Yi Nan's point of view, he guessed how they would deal with him, and then secretly let people take Xue Rengui out of Xue Yantuo Khan's court by stealing beams and changing pillars, and let Qin Yu hold his own order, and instructed the guards of Yanmen Pass and Ashina Sheer in the Eastern Turk military camp to prepare fire oil, and bring the two teams of Moon Liuxiang to the grassland, so that they can lurk on the mountain of Yu Dujun.

Then, through the opportunity to go out to patrol, under the pretext of being respectful, he passed the map and news to Qin Yu.

Xue Rengui was good at using troops, so he used his intelligence to design fire attack tactics, and then used the moon to ambush and set fire.

In order to better achieve the goal, before setting out on the expedition, Du He also deliberately provoked Xue Yantuo's generals to provoke their desire to win, so as to better achieve the goal.

Yi Nan made a plan and used Mohe Baha to deal with Du He, and Du He immediately returned the game and borrowed Mo He Baha's hand to deal with Xue Yantuo's five-way army.
