Chapter 701: Reinforcements, it's better not to come

Looking at the woods on both sides, I found out before in Erqi City that all of them are pine-like coniferous trees within a radius of several hundred miles, which are extremely flammable.

It seems that the rebels still don't have a long memory—oh, they can't remember for long, the rebels who besieged Erqi City were completely annihilated.

I lit another cigarette and gave the lighter to the baby: "You are in charge of the left."

"What?" Zheng Baobao asked.

"Burn them out, you run to the location of the big rock," I pointed down the hill, which was still about four hundred meters away from the rebel outpost, and the rebels' guns were out of range, and they were unlikely to expose themselves in advance, "just set the pine tree on fire."

"Burning the Gourd Valley? This plot is so familiar!" Zheng Baobao said with a smile, it seems that she, a female pirate, is not a desperately illiterate, at least she has watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

I gave the cigarette I lit again to the slave, "You go to the right, the same position."

"Howler." The two of them each took the fire down the mountain, quickly reached the location of the boulder, lit the trees on both sides, and ran back.

At this time, I felt that the wind began to increase, and the horses sitting down were a little unsteady on their feet, and unconsciously took two steps forward.

By the time the two of them ran back, the fires on the slopes on both sides had already risen, each forming a fire cloud of more than ten square meters, which was slowly expanding in scale.

This kind of forest fire, I was fortunate to see it once when I was a child, it was very powerful, the fire is not walking in the forest, but above the canopy, rolling quickly in the form of flowing clouds, under the flowing clouds, that is, there is no fire in the woods, although there is no fire, but if you can have a camera that is not afraid of burning in the forest, you will see the scene of hell in the crater, and it is like a large oven of hundreds or thousands of degrees, I estimate what eighteen layers of hell, that is, this level of difficulty, right? ap.

A minute later, the fire began to spread quickly to the position where the enemy was lurking, and the rebels were certainly not stupid, and they would not have put the whole team into it in order to ambush the three of us, and they came out of the forest one after another.

It is impossible to attack us again, although there is no fire on the road in the middle of the valley, but it is also roasted by the forest fires on both sides, and they are wearing paper armor that is common in the underworld, and they dare not approach rashly, so they can only retreat.

Five minutes later, the wind that poured into the valley mouth was getting stronger and faster, and the rebels had all come out of the forest, so the leader had to order to withdraw from the valley floor.

"Well, if only there was an ambush of our army over there." Zheng Baobao said with regret.

The bottom of the valley is too far away, my vision of Xiangqi is invisible, I don't know if there is a court army outside, if there is, it must be from Erliu City to meet our deployment team, the number should not be very large, encounter two thousand rebel elite cavalry, the trouble is the court army.

Fortunately, no such miracle happened, and the rebels safely exited the valley and disappeared.

But I was sure that they would not go far, but, the little slave said, after the bottom of the valley, there was another large valley that was relatively flat, and it was impossible for two thousand rebels to complete the defense of the whole valley, and we could bypass them in a maximum of fifteen minutes.

Three people and three horses, into the valley bottom, testing the temperature, slowly moving forward, and when we slipped to the bottom of the gourd, the fire was almost burned out, the mountains on both sides, are a black one, the bottom of the gourd, because there is a ridge to block, the fire did not spread to the side of the mountain, it is also environmentally friendly.

Coming to the pass here, as the little slave said, the valley in front of it is very large, there is a main road in it, it is estimated that there are often cars, and the trees have been disposed of, revealing a big straight road, and the figure of the rebels is on the big straight road, it doesn't look like an ambush, and it is directly clear that they want to intercept us.

And farther away, I saw a small force of cavalry, coming in the direction of the rebels, looking at the color of the armor, it should be the imperial army, and they really sent people to meet us, but their number is too small, the distance is too far, it is not clear, but it will definitely not exceed two hundred people, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
