Chapter Seventy-Three: Time is also, life is also!

readx;.

Ma Yuan did not chase into the woods, he is also a fierce general, he knows the truth that Fenglin is not entering, and the Xixia man obviously entered the woods with a purpose. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info.

The hundred and ten personal soldiers he brought with him, if he burrowed into the woods without a head or a brain, God knows how many people would die before he could catch that guy.

Therefore, he chose the most brutal method, which was to set fire, and after a hundred and ten soldiers dispersed, he did not hesitate to throw the fire oil bomb into the woods from the upper hand.

Nowadays, arson can be called the best skill of the Song army, since the appearance of gunpowder bullets, Yun Zheng is very dissatisfied with its lethality, in order to find a more lethal weapon, Yun Zheng's younger brother Yun Yue is in the prison and purified the fire oil.

How easy it is to set fires, especially in the grasslands, where most of the pine trees contain oil, and the fire quickly became a prairie fire under the scorching sun.

If it is a herdsman of the Liao Kingdom, even if their father-killing enemy escapes into the woods, they will not choose to set fire, if it is a Xixia person, they will not do this kind of hurtful thing, they don't care about human life, but they have a way to worship the mountains and forests.

Ma Yuan waited for the fire to burn completely, and said to Song Jun, who was growing more and more around him: "Surround the woods, Lao Tzu will go to the other side of the woods and wait for him." ”

The Song army immediately began to guard along the edge of the woods, and some Song soldiers with ringing arrows immediately stood up, looking at the woods vigilantly, and everyone knew how angry the marshal was today.

Li Qing heard the sound of the fire burning, and with the assistance of the grassland wind, the fire ignited quickly, and he felt a burning heat on his back after not making much effort.

There is no possibility of trying to beat the mountain fire with the wind, there is a shallow mud pool in front of him, Li Qing got into the pool, and when he came out of the other side of the pool, his body was already covered with mud.

After discerning the direction a little, Li Qing decided to break through in the direction where the Lightning River was located, things had changed, and staying in the woods would definitely turn into a roast pig.

Through the dense branches. It's still very bright, and if you want the sun to set, you need to wait at least another hour, and now is the longest day of the year. This forest is not too big to support the sunset.

The sound of crackling trees and burning trees was like a life-threatening impermanence, forcing Li Qing to run wild in the woods like a rabbit.

Along with him there were countless jungle creatures, a huge boar arched over a harmful yellow sheep with one mouth, and then the huge hooves ruthlessly stepped on the yellow sheep's body and rushed forward. Behind the path it had opened, whether it was a wild boar, or a leopard, or a wild wolf, or some wild deer grazing, they followed closely behind the wild boar, and as for the yellow sheep that had been overturned by the wild boar, it had long been trampled into a pulp.

Li Qing naturally fled with the wild boar, and where he was within reach, was a female leopard with colorful fur. The mother leopard also has a baby leopard in her mouth.

At this time, man and beast got along very well, and when they fled for their lives, no one cared about any hostility towards anyone.

In order to speed up the burning of the woods, the Song people began to throw fire oil bombs with ballistas to places that were not yet on fire, which intensified the burning progress, and the beasts in the woods became more frightened.

Li Qing couldn't let the stupid boar take the fleeing army to the center of the woods, where the fire would soon spread, even though it was not on fire now.

Without this group of beasts, there would be no way for him to escape the pursuit of the Song cavalry, so this fleeing team needed a new leader.

Li Qing crossed the howling boar. Becoming an animal at the forefront of the fleeing army, those beasts frightened by the wildfire followed Li Chang towards the Lightning River without thinking about it.

In the woods, Li Qing's hunting skills for many years finally came in handy, and he drilled through the woods at an extremely fast speed. Only this time it's not for hunting, it's for escape.

The hooves of the war horses outside the woods were thundering, and the Lightning River was not far from the woods, as long as he could run at an interval of fifty zhang away, he could quietly burrow into the Lightning River, which was his only chance to escape.

He was tempted to delay a little longer. It's a pity that his group of beast friends didn't want to stay in the woods for a moment when they found that they had escaped from the fire, and they screamed and ran towards the grassland with a howl over Li Qing, who was still thinking that he was the leader.

The one who hit the head was the fierce boar......

Before the wild boar escaped from the woods, it became a porcupine, its body was full of crossbow arrows, and a team of Song cavalry dressed in iron armor stood coldly on the edge of the woods and shot the escaped beasts one by one at the edge of the woods.

The mother leopard was also dead, and there was no sign of the baby leopard in her mouth, and in order to speed up the escape, the survival instinct prevailed over her duty as a mother, and she abandoned the little leopard.

Now the little leopard is crouching next to Li Qing, opening its mouth to call for its mother.

Probably thinking that there was little hope of his mother coming back, the little leopard decisively lay down beside Li Qing, and stuck out his tongue to lick Li Qing's face.

The flames behind him burned not far away, and after the fire burned, it evacuated the air in the center of the woods, causing negative pressure, so that an inexplicable wind rose in the woods, and the air charged into the woods from all directions, used to replenish the air that had been burned out.

The wind fueled the fire, the fire was even higher, and the flames almost formed a fire tornado, and then spread out in the sky, scattering the flames in all directions.

Black dust kept falling on Li Qing's body, and the little leopard had already burrowed under his body, screaming in despair, if its own strength could leave here, it would definitely not accompany Li Qing to be burned here.

Li Qing's ears kept stirring, the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappeared, the war horse is also an animal, and he also has a heartfelt fear of the sky-high fire in front of him, and constantly retreats with the knight on the horse, no matter how the cavalry controls the war horse, it will not help.

Li Qing slowly crawled out, the mud on his body had been dried by the fire, and at the same time, his body was about to be roasted dry.

He grabbed the top melon skin of the little leopard with one hand, and wanted to break the leopard's head, at least the little leopard's blood would quench his thirst a little.

The little leopard whined, and seemed to be very happy, and it was its mother who brought it here from the depths of the woods with the top melon peel in her mouth.

A big tree fell, and sparks splashed all over the sky around Li Qing, and the burning trunk instantly ignited the dead leaves on the ground.

Li Qing had no choice but to stop his hand that wanted to break the little leopard's neck and speed up his climb outward.

A fiery boar howled out of the woods, and after running a short distance it collapsed on the sands of the Lightning River, this time unattacked by the bolts.

Li Qing jumped up, shook off his footsteps and strode towards the lightning river, running ten zhang away before the crossbow arrow broke through the air from a distance, and there was a numbness on his shoulder, this is the feeling of a middle arrow, Song Jun actually used a three-edged armor-piercing arrow on himself extravagantly.

Li Qing didn't care about these, the three-edged armor-piercing arrow couldn't be pulled out at all, and he would die quickly when he pulled it out. So he almost used his physical strength to the limit - faster than the galloping horse!

Crossbow bolts continued to pass him, and on two occasions they flew almost against his cheek, taking a piece of flesh from his cheek.

Li Qing only wanted to run, he just wanted to plunge into the arms of the Lightning River, as long as he could swim across the Lightning River, this life would be saved.

The sun was about to set, the clouds on the horizon looked particularly beautiful, and the burning woods behind him reflected the river red, and at the first moment when he stepped into the water, Li Qing jumped up violently and pounced on the large water in front of him.

At this time, his body and mind were extremely happy, as if he was not celebrating his escape from death, but simply celebrating that he could plunge into the water in front of him.

The water covered his body, and he couldn't wait to take a big gulp, and his whole heart sank as he prepared to dive headlong into the water and dive through the toughest stretch of distance, his whole heart sank - his head went into the sand.

The river is too shallow...... (To be continued.) )
