Chapter 187: Fire in the Mountains and Forests
In the layers of dense forest, there are four forked roads, Shi Wang led the army to flee into the forest, and then the pursuers no longer entered, only around the forest to defend and surround, did not pursue.
"General, what should I do if they blocked the exit?" Qi Ping asked.
The clock is ticking by, and it won't be long before it will be night, and it's even harder to predict what the situation will be.
Since the other party forced them into this, he must have thought of a follow-up trick. And after nightfall, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and it is even more difficult to fight back.
If you want to get a way out, you must start breaking through immediately.
"Have the soldiers sent out to explore the path returned?" Shi Wang asked.
Qi Ping hurriedly looked into the crowd and beckoned.
In response to his actions, three pathfinders came to report.
"General Hui, the opposite road from which we came is a mountain, which is very high and difficult to climb."
"General, not far to the south of the woods is the wide road we passed when we came. The subordinates didn't dare to get too close, so they couldn't see what the situation was outside. ”
"General, the woods to the north of us are very dense and difficult to walk, and my subordinates have walked for a long time, but they have not seen the boundary of the forest. If you want to come out from the north, I'm afraid it will be a long time. ”
It seems that this grove is very large.
In this terrain, how will the enemy attack them? Will they be the main ones and narrow the encirclement layer by layer, or will they guard the exit somewhere, so that they have no way out?
If you don't even know who your opponent is, how can you formulate the right countermeasures?
Shi Wang felt that he had encountered the most difficult battle in history.
She drew a topographical map of the place on the ground, combining the scenery she had seen on the road with the route, plus the information that the pathfinders had said, and swirled around in her mind, thinking about countermeasures.
"Obey my command, each team of guards with their own soldiers, set off from various paths, bypass the obvious path, and leave in circles. When encountering enemy soldiers, they can hide and hide, and they can't fight again. Each team does not want to follow many people, but only to be able to hide their whereabouts and not be discovered. Tomorrow morning, meet here. ”
Shi Wang pointed to the east side of the road he had come, which was far away, and there would be no more ambushes.
The key is whether the scattered teams can break through the enemy's encirclement. If it is not discovered for a while, it becomes a big deal.
But in the face of the siege of the three armies who don't know their faces, they can only scatter their forces like this, reduce their losses, and then ask for a gathering.
After Shi Wang finished assigning the routes of each team, he asked the guards to lead each of them, and his own team had other uses.
"General, let me follow you to protect you. You are the main general, and nothing can happen. Qi Ping said urgently.
Shi Wang shook his head: "You and Wu Nian are on a team, take your responsibilities." ”
Qi Ping looked at Wu Nian, she had completely lost her bearings, her face was anxious, and she couldn't think about it.
In such a scene, Qi Ping could only respond to the request of Shi Wang, lead Wu Nian's team, and go towards the set route.
And Shiwang, there are other things to do.
Although the enemy army cannot surround the entire forest, it will definitely focus on assault. In order to keep the majority safe, someone needs to get the attention of the people.
Shi Wang's soldiers lit torches that were lit at night, each of them took them in their hands, and walked to the high mountain behind.
By the time they reached the bottom of the mountain, it was almost dark, and the rest of the team was approaching the encirclement of the forest.
"Let's go!" Shi Wang ordered.
The people followed in the footsteps of the Lord and walked to the high mountain that was difficult to climb.
It wasn't long before some flames appeared on the outskirts of the forest, a ploy by the enemy to force them out by arson.
And with these flames, there are sparks floating in the mountainside.
"Your Majesty, the men of the Son have gone up to the mountains."
The person who reported to this person was the reason for Shi Wang's expedition, King Chen.
King Chen smirked: "Wouldn't that be better, just try the gift I brought to them." ”
King Chen whispered a few words to the waiter, and the waiter left the place and walked away to report the news.
Shi Wang led the soldiers to walk up the mountain with torches, and at night, the mountain road became more and more difficult, and even Shi Wang couldn't see the road under his feet.
Do you want to go any further?
The soldiers were puzzled.
Shi Wang flicked the torch to the ground and lit the withered grass on the side.
"Now, at my command, everyone is divided into two columns, and they go in opposite directions around the mountainside. Light the dead trees and grass along the road, and if you can make the fire go up, you can point it up, and if it doesn't work, you can light a bonfire in the same place, as long as it doesn't hurt yourself. ”
Shi Wang and his party divided into two more columns, each walking towards their own path.
"Look, your lord, there are many more fires on the mountainside!"
King Chen disdainfully: "She was driven like this by us, how many more people can there be." ”
But when he looked closely, he found that there was indeed a lot of light on the mountain, much more than the original queue.
"Oops!" King Chen exclaimed in his heart, "This is a mountain fire, not a torch point of light." ”
Shi Wang believed that the enemy had premeditated, and an ambush must have been set up on this high mountain.
She asked everyone to light torches and go up the mountain in order to attract the attention of the enemy, and now, she used this man-made mountain fire to deceive the ambush on the mountain that she didn't know existed.
Sure enough, soon there was movement on the mountain, and those who were lying in ambush on the mountain, when they saw the fire spreading, panicked, and were determined to flee, not wanting to be burned to death.
Those schemes were also used in a hurry.
Someone threw down the oil drum, and the oil spread down the hillside, just as the fire burned down the oil line to the mountain, and burned their own camp.
Some of the soldiers who were still calm split a dirt road and fled down the mountain while the fire had not hurt themselves.
Shi Wang asked everyone to hide in the darkness of the fire, so as not to be discovered, and when they found that there were enemy soldiers fleeing from the side, they began to kill.
This mountain is steep, and even if there is an ambush, there will not be too many people in ambush. As long as you break the opponent's first move and take the lead, you can seize the opportunity.
The fire on the mountain was clearly extinguished from the bottom up, rather than from the bottom up, and the originally arranged fire arrows did not appear.
It can be seen that things have developed beyond the scope of expectations.
Burning the rocket is to wait for the oil drum to roll down, an arrow is shot, it is considered a surprise attack on the other party, and now it has been used in advance, and the fire has been ignited under the mountain, so it is naturally impossible to shoot the sword again, one will cut off his own lower road, and the second will also rise the fire under the mountain, and there is no benefit.
King Chen knew that things had come into a situation that he had not expected, so he was secretly angry.
"Your Majesty, should we go to their aid?" The soldier next to King Chen asked.
King Chen gave him a backhand slap: "They are already dead surrounded by fire, there are so few of us, wouldn't it be sent to death to save them!" ”
The soldier did not dare to say anything more.
King Chen took a sip: "What kind of bullshit general's idea, dare me to be a striker here!" ”
