Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Wind Blows

"Thief! Dare to cut me back! ”

Yan You was furious, and the shouting and scolding soared into the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The flames burned in his pupils, but his heart was already cold.

"My lord! There was a fire in the back, as if it was on fire! The cronies around him also found out about this and reported it in a panic.

The troops behind him also showed a hint of panic, the horses slashed their front hooves fiercely, and two straight white exercises erupted from their noses, as if they were also aware of the danger.

A soldier can panic, but as a commander, he must not show a trace of timidity, once the commander shows timidity, it will definitely shake the morale of the army. Yan You has been in charge of the army for many years, and of course he understands such a simple truth.

He calmed down the excitement in his heart a little, and after a little contemplation, he said: "I think it must have been the thief who set the fire after we entered the forest, and now I will rush out, maybe I will be in a hurry!" ”

"Listen to the command! The whole battalion turned the horse's head, the rear did the front, and rushed out of this forest with me! ”

Yan You raised the sword in his hand and rode his horse in the direction of the fire.

Just after the dry season, it is late autumn, and the trees have long been dried up by the blazing sun, and they are extremely flammable. Geng Chun, Fang Jie and the others used fire oil, which spread instantly as soon as it was lit. Like a storm crashing on the shore, its momentum is endless, running like thunder. , Everywhere you pass, all the mountains are cracked and turned to stones, and the Xiangling is swinging. In just a moment, what was in front of Yan You was already a sea of fire.

"Fight!" Yan You's eyes cracked, and a mouthful of steel teeth crunched. At this moment, the situation is critical, as the so-called but when the interruption is constantly suffering, staying in the forest will be burned to death sooner or later, he simply let it out, taking advantage of the fact that the fire is not yet in the sky, with his subordinates fighting maybe he can find a way to survive in the sea of fire.

"Sons! If you want to stay alive, follow me! Yan You waved his hand, and his own brave men stepped forward and rushed into the sea of fire first.

Just as Yan You gritted his teeth and was about to rush into the sea of fire, the sky suddenly changed.

I don't know where a sudden gust of evil wind blew, which directly doubled the fire in an instant, and the fire, which was originally only six feet high, was now directly more than two feet. The fire borrowed the momentum of the wind, as if a monstrous beast opened its bloody mouth and directly engulfed the few people who rushed into the sea of fire just now.

There were bursts of desperate wails in the sea of fire, and after a while, they gradually fell silent, leaving only the "crackling" sound of the flames burning the dead wood, which was tantamount to death music to everyone's ears.

The fire rose sharply just now, and a wave of fire swept directly over Yan You's head, burning off a lot of his hair, and burning many holes in his clothes, and the black and gray color on his face made it impossible to tell that this was the general in charge of the soldiers and horses of a county.

"Poof"

Another wave of fire struck, and Yan You suddenly felt a hot pain on his face, but at this moment, his heart was cold.

"First there are dark clouds covering the sun, and then there is an evil wind breaking the road, could it be that God wants to cut me off here?"

He thought gloomily in his heart, but his mood was extremely low. But this was not the time to think about it, and seeing that it was impossible to escape from the fire, he stopped struggling.

"Let's go! Go back the way you came! ”

Hulala, a large group of people hurriedly turned the horse's head and rushed back.

The fire spread rapidly, but everyone was on horseback, and the speed was a little faster. In particular, even horses can feel the burning sensation behind their butts, and the survival instinct of creatures makes them run faster.

However, with a cup of tea, Yan You fled from the range of the sea of fire with the surviving soldiers, and when he calmed down, he counted the number of people, and suddenly found that he had lost a group of people.

Yan You shook his head, looking at the soldiers like frosted eggplants, his heart was also full of helplessness, the destiny of heaven is like this, non-human beings can contend with it.

"My lord! Captain Yuan has arrived! ”

Yan You stared intently, and a group of cavalry appeared in front of him, about dozens of people. It was the vanguard he had sent to chase the thieves before.

The leader was wearing a suit of armor, he rode a horse to Yan You, dismounted and knelt on the ground and said, "My lord! The last general failed to catch up with the thieves, please punish him! ”

Yan You looked at the young general kneeling under his horse, a trace of evil fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he raised the horsewhip with one hand but couldn't fight it. When the words of reprimand came to his lips, they were temporarily replaced by gentle words: "Alas! Get up! The thief and shemale law is very powerful, and it is understandable that you can't catch up. ”

The kneeling Yuan in front of him is the descendant he has been cultivating, and he is the son of the Yuan family of the Nanyang clan, with a prominent background, and his uncle is the current Jingzhou Pastor Yuan Tong. What's more, this son is also a general, no matter what, Yan You can't bear to blame him.

"Thank you, sir!" Yuan Yu stood with his fists clenched, and was stunned in place after seeing the tragic situation of Yan You and everyone behind him.

"Your Excellency....what are you?"

"Alas! For a while, he was careless, and he fell into the way of a thief. Yan You's old face flushed, and he replied a little embarrassed.

Yuan Yu noticed the fire behind Yan You, and then looked at the miserable appearance of everyone who had just escaped from the fire, and he had a plan in his heart.

He also didn't ask any more questions with great interest, but continued to stand aside, waiting for Yan You's order.

Yan You looked at everyone with a serious face: "Ahem, the mountain fire behind has formed a prairie fire, and now you can only go all the way forward." ”

When Yuan Yu heard this, he stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, there is a valley ahead, and the last general will see that his soldiers are dashing, and there must be a thief army ambushing here!" ”

Yan You bowed slightly: "Well, it is inevitable that there will be an ambush, and it can be seen that the actions of the Thief Army were trying to lead us between the valleys from the beginning." It's a pity that the old man was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't see through the thief's tricks, otherwise why would he be in such a situation! ”

"But it's too late to say this at this moment, the mountain fire behind this is like a tiger in the forest, and it will be devoured when it meets people, and we can't take a step back. Since you can't retreat, you can only move forward! ”

"Go ahead! Even if there is an ambush in front of you, you have to fight your way out! ”

Yan You waved his fist fiercely, and his words made the demoralized soldiers begin to have confidence again.

"Yes! I am willing to die for my lords! Yuan Yu fell to his knees.

"I am willing to die for my lords!" The generals also dismounted and fell to their knees.

Yan You's eyes froze: "Let's go!" Let those fatherless and kingless thieves see the power of my great new army! ”

"Drive!"
