Chapter 238: Burning the Camp

Murong Ke was even more shocked, it was his order to let the second battalion of the dragon and tiger attack the camp of the Zhao State, but at this time, the commander of the dragon battalion was killed in battle, and his heart was somewhat uncomfortable.

The divine martial arts of the general of Zhao State in front of him shocked him even more, he had never seen such a capable general, who could actually kill the warriors of the Great Yan Kingdom within a few rounds.

"Kill my brother, I'll fight with you." Seeing that the commander of the dragon camp was killed, the commander of the tiger camp raised the big knife in his hand and rode forward, preparing to fight Shi Min.

Seeing this, Murong Ke stopped loudly: "Don't go, you are not his opponent." ”

Everyone in the Yan army knew that the martial arts of the commander of the dragon camp were higher than that of the commander of the tiger camp, and at this time, the commander of the dragon camp had been killed by Shi Min in a few rounds, and Murong Ke did not want the commander of the tiger camp to die in battle.

"Fourth prince, he killed my brother, I must avenge this revenge." The love of the commander of the tiger camp was a little excited.

Murong Ke stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and ordered with his head sideways: "Soldiers, prepare the bow and crossbow." ”

The more than 1,000 soldiers behind him immediately bent their bows and arrows and aimed at Shi Min, ready to shoot at any time.

This qiē was naturally seen by Shi Min, and he saw a smile squeezing out disdainfully from the corner of his mouth, and he didn't seem to put Yan Jun's bow and crossbow in his eyes.

Murong Ke was slightly surprised, stunned for a moment, and ordered: "Release the arrow." ”

"Whoosh...... Suddenly, thousands of sharp arrows roared towards Shi Min.

Shi Min was dumbfounded, quickly rotated the double-edged spear in his hand, and after a 'click' sound, all the bows and arrows shot by Yan Jun were knocked to the ground.

"What, it's all blocked." Murong Ke and the soldiers of the Second Battalion of Dragon and Tiger were all shocked.

Just when the Yan army was shocked, Shi Min stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, and the beggar army archers who were ambushed in the camp immediately bent their bows and arrows and shot at the Yan cavalry outside the camp.

"Ka ......" Yan cavalry is also well-trained, seeing that there are arrows flying in the Zhao army camp, they hurriedly raised their weapons to block, most of the arrows were blocked, but there are still many soldiers who were injured by arrows, and even more than a dozen soldiers were hit by arrows in vital parts, turned over and fell off their horses.

When Murong Ke saw this situation, he understood that it was impossible to break through the Zhao army's camp and kill Shi Hu, so he immediately ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats." ”

After saying that, the first one turned his horse's head and retreated to the rear, and the nearly 2,000 elite horsemen under his command also retreated sharply.

Murong Ke led the army to retreat, Shi Min did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but turned his horse's head and returned to the camp, because most of his subordinates were foot soldiers, and they suffered some losses in fighting with the cavalry in the wilderness, besides, he also saw that the cavalry on the other side were all elite soldiers, and if they fought in an all-round way, they could only lose both.

Murong Ke led the second battalion of the dragon and tiger to retreat in the direction of the Great Thorn City, along the way, scattered the team from time to time, killed the soldiers of the Zhao State who had fallen behind, and when he was about to reach the vicinity of the Great Thorn City, he met Hua'an who was chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy.

"General Hua, it's great that you're okay." Murong Ke saw Hua An appear in front of him alive and said excitedly.

Hua An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the fourth prince, Hua An is still alive." ”

How smart Murong Ke was, he naturally heard the complaint in Hua An's tone, after all, his father let Hua An lead the troops into the Ten Thousand Wolf Valley out of selfishness, and doing so would naturally cause Hua An's dissatisfaction.

"Haha! General Hua, it's okay. Murong Ke said perfunctorily, then he was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about Yan'er?" Why didn't I see Yan'er. After speaking, a pair of eyes kept sweeping behind Hua An.

"Oh, the fourth prince also knows that the county lord has been to the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves." Hua An wondered.

"Yan'er really went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves." Murong Ke was shocked, nodded, and asked, "General Hua, have you seen Yan'er, what's wrong, why is she not here, is something wrong?" ”

Hua An paused, and sighed: "A thousand soldiers in the headquarters were ambushed shortly after entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves, and the county lord also entered the valley at that time, and Zhao General Kui'an mobilized a full 30,000 horses and horses to enter the valley to chase and suppress us, and the shape is extremely dangerous!" ”

30,000 horses chasing and suppressing 1,000, the danger of the shape does not need to be explained in detail by Hua'an, Murong Ke can imagine that Hua'an's situation must have been extremely difficult at that time, and his sister's martial arts were poor, thinking of this, Murong Ke suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What happened?" Murong Ke hurriedly asked.

"The county lord stumbled and fell to the cliff." Hua An said half a sentence, paused, and continued: "Fortunately, the last general reacted in time and caught the county lord, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Murong Ke listened to the first half of the sentence, and his heart was in his throat, and he didn't let go until he heard the second half of Hua'an's sentence, and said slowly: "It seems that Yan'er is fine, now I will rest assured." ”

The corners of Hua An's mouth smiled slightly, implying that Murong Yan was indeed safe.

"Driving ......"

At the time of the dialogue between Hua'an and Murong Ke, Murong Hao in the Great Thorn City personally led 3,000 cavalry out of the city to support Murong Ke's second battalion of Dragon and Tiger.

"Father, the main force of more than 100,000 troops of the Zhao army has been defeated by my second battalion of Dragon and Tiger." Seeing his father's arrival, Murong Ke clenched his fists to report the results.

Murong Hao grinned and praised: "I have seen it all in the city, well done." ”

"The last general, Hua'an, will see King Yan." Hua An also saluted Murong Hao according to the number of courtesies.

When Murong Hao saw that it was Hua An, he was taken aback, and like Murong Ke, he first comforted him, and then greeted his daughter with great concern.

Hua An didn't have time to answer, Murong Ke had already interjected to tell Murong Hao about the matter, Murong Hao saw that Hua An was so amazing, and he praised it a lot, and Hua An was naturally humble.

After greeting for a while, Murong Ke looked at the thousands of torches on the top of the mountain in the north, and wondered: "Father, the army of the Zhao State has been defeated, why is General Mu Yugen on the top of the mountain holding his troops." ”

Murong Hao also felt very strange, since those thousands of torches occupied the top of the mountain in the north, they had not moved.

Seeing Murong Hao's father and son, with a look of surprise, Hua An couldn't help laughing, after all, the thousands of cross-shaped torches were planted on the top of the mountain by the soldiers under his command, in order to use the torches as soldiers to deter the soldiers of Zhao State.

"General Hua, why are you laughing?" Murong Hao hurriedly asked.

Hua'an pointed to the fire on the top of the mountain, and told Murong Hao the ins and outs of the matter truthfully, and after listening to Hua'an's explanation, Murong Hao and others suddenly realized that the so-called five thousand reinforcements were the product of Hua'an's begging camp using cross-shaped torches and bluffing, and there was no shadow of Mu Yugen's army near the Great Thorn City.

The monarchs and ministers of Yan Kingdom, who suddenly came to their senses, suddenly admired Hua'an extremely much in their hearts, and some generals even opened their mouths to praise it.

After the generals of the Yan State praised Hua'an's work, Murong Ke fled Shi Hu into the rear camp, and the enemy general Shi Min beheaded the commander of the Dragon Camp, and reported to Murong Hao in 1510.

Murong Hao learned that the commander of the dragon camp was actually killed by the general of Zhao State, and a wave of anger immediately surged in his heart, he ignored Murong Ke's dissuasion, and led the army to run towards the camp of Zhao State, Murong Ke had no choice but to follow, Hua An out of curiosity, also led the captive camp to follow.

At this time, in the camp of Zhao State, some scattered soldiers rushed back one after another, and Shi Hu let them have a full meal in the camp, and then ordered them to retreat to the rear with military rations.

After more than half an hour, Shi Hu, who had eaten and drunk enough to be in good spirits, asked the personal guards to immediately assemble and prepare to retreat backwards, and at the same time let Shi Min's beggar army also retreat with him to protect himself.

"Your Majesty, the total Yan army is not more than 10,000, and our army occupies a large camp enough to defend itself, why should we retreat." Shi Min was a little puzzled, and clenched his fists and persuaded.

"The hundreds of thousands of troops have been dispersed, and the morale of the Yan army is flourishing, just with your 3,000 beggar army, even if you can hold the camp, once the camp is surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable." Shi Hu said helplessly.

When Shi Min heard this, his heart suddenly became arrogant, and he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will lead his subordinates to defeat the Yan army, so that they dare not approach my camp." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go out.

"Come back, don't go." Shi Hu scolded loudly, asking Shi Min to obey the order, and at the same time, urging his subordinates to get on their horses and prepare to withdraw to Yecheng.

After Qi Qi was ready, Shi Hu led a group of his subordinates and a thousand personal guards to withdraw first, and Shi Min and his three thousand beggar troops then set out, closely following Shi Hu.

After all the troops had withdrawn, Shi Min had several of his subordinates burn the camp, and the fire soon spread, and the nearby sky was lit up in an instant.

#####

When Murong Hao led the army of Yan to the camp of Zhao State, what he saw was a sea of fire, and the raging fire blocked the way of the army.

Looking at the corpse of the commander of the dragon camp in front of the big camp, the corners of Murong Hao's mouth twitched, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to carry the corpse of the commander back to the Great Thorn City.

"Father, it seems that Shi Hu has abandoned the camp and fled, let's not chase it." Murong Ke looked at the raging fire and spoke.

Murong Hao was arrogant at this time, he didn't listen to Murong Ke's persuasion, and ordered loudly: "Soldiers, bypass the Zhao army camp and continue to pursue." After speaking, he led his subordinates and walked around the camp of Zhao State.

"Father, father." Murong Ke shouted twice, and also rode his horse to follow.

Hua An saw that the five thousand men and horses of the Yan Kingdom were pursuing forward, glanced at the thunderstorm and several people, and led the captive camp to follow.

Shi Hu led a group of people and horses to retreat in the direction of Yecheng, and the generals and personal guards were all cavalry, and the speed was naturally very fast, but most of the beggar troops who served as the rearguard were infantry, and they couldn't keep up with Shi Hu's pace not long after they set off.

Shi Hu naturally did not take the risk of waiting, and still rode his horse to retreat quickly, while Shi Min, the commander of the beggar army, would not leave his soldiers, he rode his horse and walked slowly at the back of the team, walking slowly at the speed of the infantry under his command.

The two legs of the infantry naturally could not outrun the cavalry, and when they marched to a valley, the Yan army, which was chasing from behind, gradually entered Shi Min's sight.
