Chapter 45: Burning the Han Army into the Jedi

Although Gao Zhong rushed into the Yan army, he was lost after all, like a headless fly.

And in the back, I saw that Wang Zijin defeated Luo Cheng in two and a half rounds, and he was also in full swing. For the high force of Gao Pet, this type of military general who breaks out quickly is simply the nemesis of those slow-burning generals. That's why there is a possibility of repelling the Golden Vulture with one shot.

The Han army on both flanks was struggling to resist, and the defensive line formed had been torn open by the Yan army. The casualties of the Han army were increasing.

An hour had passed, and half of the 30,000 Han soldiers had been killed, and now they were shrinking their defenses.

"Lord, withdraw, the green mountains left behind are not afraid of no firewood, you are the pillar of the Han Kingdom. Liao Hua was in a hurry to persuade beside him.

"Presumptuous, the soldiers are desperate in front, you let me retreat now. Do you want their blood to be shed in vain?" Wang Zijin pointed his sword at Liao Hua and said angrily. "If anyone dares to say no more, I will not forgive. Rest assured, soldiers, I will give your family three times the pension in this battle, and whoever dares to be greedy will be killed. The Han army will win!" Some of the remaining Han troops shouted: "The Han army will win!"

Some Han Jun, who were looked at by Yan Jun with both hands, used their teeth to bite Yan Jun's body. Some Han soldiers who were holding on to death also fought hard with the Yan army, and even that posture scared off some Yan troops.

But after all, there are too many Yan troops, there are still 8,000 Han troops left, while the Yan army still has more than 60,000.

Seeing that the formation was already in tatters, and it was pointless to hold on any longer, Wang Zijin led his army to move to the nearby hillside, relying on the advantages of the terrain to resist the attack of the Yan army.

And Gao Chong found that the army was evacuated when the Yan army was rampant, so he withdrew and went in the direction of Liu Ji, trying to move the rescuers to save the lord.

The Han army withstood three attacks by the Yan army on this unknown hillside, and was shot back by the strong bow and crossbow arranged by Wang Zijin. The Han army on the hillside was hungry, tired, and demoralized.

And Le Yi's face in the camp of the Yan army is also a little unsightly, I thought that the Han army would not doubt it first, and then reduce the stove, after Le Yi's serial plan, and then it was almost close to Jicheng, if the Han army did not attack, it would retreat to Jicheng, so it is expected that the Han army will not let go of them, this army will definitely attack with all its might, and the victory must be the Yan country, but I didn't expect it to fall short, the Yan army's military rations and baggage were almost exhausted, many soldiers' swords have been curled, and the sword body is broken, and the situation of his Yan army is very dangerousใ€‚ Le Yi wanted to retreat, and finally forced King Han into this dangerous situation, and he was afraid that there would be no such opportunity in the future. The grain and grass in the non-withdrawal army were not much, and some of the rations carried by the captured Han army could only last until the day after tomorrow.

"Damn these old thieves in the court, it's a big deal for me. But even so, it still made Le Yi think of a good way.

"What? set fire to the mountain. A group of Yan army generals looked at Le Yi and couldn't believe it, this fire was going to affect many residents around the mountain, and no one knew where it would spread.

"This is the only way for our Yan army, and success or failure is here. Go and get ready to make fires. โ€

For a while, the Yan army was busy making simple firearms, bows and arrows made of wood and bamboo, and feathers on the tails. The arrows were tied with some soaked tarpaulin, as well as torches, etc.

An hour later, the Yan army stopped manufacturing, gathered all the firearms, ignited the grass pile at the foot of the mountain, and the rockets rushed to the hillside, and for a time the nameless hill ignited a raging fire, and a heat current hit both sides, and the Yan army quickly retreated some back, and set up a separation belt. The mountain was not so lucky, and the fire was originally set for the Han army.

The Han troops on the mountain moved to higher ground to escape the flames. As time passed, the Han army simply took off the outer leather armor and helmet to increase the heat dissipation. Another hour passed, and the Han army had burned hundreds of people to death, and the smell of burning lured the hungry soldiers to devour their saliva. Occasionally, it was accompanied by vomiting from some soldiers.

All the people on the mountain were huddled in one place, and the fire burned many soldiers with each step. Thousands of soldiers, including Prince Jin, have given up hope.

At this time, the reinforcements under the mountain finally arrived, and Zhao Yun and Gao Chong led the troops to rush to the side of the mountain, intending to put out the fire and get the king out of danger, and they did not fight too much against the Yan army around them, but the fire on the mountain had been burning for so long, how could it be extinguished by this batch of reinforcements in a hurry.

Le Yi sneered at the hillside, and commanded the Yan army to surround and kill the Han army that kept coming, because the Han army had no intention of fighting, so for a while the Yan army had the upper hand.

"Boom ใ€ใ€ใ€" There was a muffled thunder sound in the sky, and then a few raindrops fell on the soldiers' faces, and it rained in the sky, and then more urgent and larger raindrops fell, accompanied by the continuous "click" sound, Liao Hua on the mountain looked at the rain falling under the sky and smiled: "Hahaha, lord, you see it's raining, it's raining, we have been saved." โ€

Le Yi, who was commanding at the foot of the hillside, looked at the rain in the sky and sighed: "Destiny helps Han but not Yan!" and then spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. The Yan army beside him hurriedly helped Le Yi up, and Le Yi said angrily, "Retreat to Fangcheng and hold on." Then he fainted, and the Yan soldiers beside him led part of the Yan army to escort Le Yi to retreat to Fangcheng and hold it.

And Liu Ji, the rear army led by Xue Rengui arrived, Liu Ji was in the middle of the dispatch, Xue Rengui, Gao Chong, and Zhao Yunsan continued to divide the Yan army camp, and the sword had been cut down for a long time, and the Yan army, which had been divided into pieces, was forced to surrender.

As night fell, the newly built barracks of the Han army were full of wounded. The 30,000 Han troops led by Wang Zijin were lost, and only more than 1,000 people remained, and the rest were either buried in the fire or died in battle.

Wang Zijin sat on the upper seat in a tent of the Han army, and several generals and Liu Ji with the army sat below, and the atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing.

Wang Zijin looked at Zhang Feng, the grain and grass officer of the Yan Army in front of him, "Zhang Feng, are you guilty?"

Zhang Feng looked at Wang Zijin puzzled: "Why did the king say this?

"You pretended to surrender to me, lied about the affairs of the Yan army, fell into an ambush in our army, and 30,000 good men died on the battlefield. If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to erase the hatred in my heart. The high pet next to him also glared angrily, and after speaking, Wang Zijin pulled out the sword hanging on the shelf next to him, and slashed at Zhang Feng's neck with a sword, and the sharp blade slashed across the different parts of his body.

Liu Ji got up and comforted: "Lord, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and only when you are defeated and not discouraged can you laugh at the end." Although Liu Ji knew that Zhang Feng was really descending, he was only used by Le Yi. But after all, 30,000 Han army men died, and there must be someone to carry the black pot. Otherwise, defeat will only lose the prestige of the prince Jin Xinli.
