Chapter 169: Fire Attack
Fast forward and another day passed.
According to various news from the scouts, it seems that the Qin army has really retreated, and there is not even a trace of it on the south bank of the Yellow River, but the scouts of the Wei army do not dare to go too deep, and they don't know what the situation is on the side of Daliang for the time being.
According to the news from many sources, Pang Quan felt that Wei Jun was really leaving, hesitated for a while, and gave an order to cross the river tomorrow.
The next day, it was just dawn.
The soldiers of the Wei army quickly built a pontoon bridge and came to the south bank of the Yellow River.
What Pang Quan saw was only the traces left by the tents of the Qin army stationed on the south bank, and then there was nothing else, and then they walked south for half a day, and it was so smooth that it couldn't be smoother, and there were no ambushes and traps.
"Keep sending scouts to investigate."
Despite this, Pang Quan still didn't dare to be careless.
Make sure there are no problems ahead before you dare to continue on your way.
The army of the Wei army was moving south, and at the same time, people were asked to investigate the situation, but they still couldn't see even a shadow of the Qin army.
"Could it be that something really happened to the Qin army and all of them retreated?"
This thought appeared in Pang Quan's mind again, and he hurriedly ordered: "Speed up and go back to Daliang." ”
His vigilance was gradually lowered.
Then the army of 250,000 soon walked on the main road back to Daliang.
When they passed through a mountainous area, they found that they didn't know when, there was a large patch of hay under their feet, which had been paved along the road, and there seemed to be something wet under the hay, but they didn't look closely, and they didn't think too much, so they hurried back to rescue the girder.
After a while, the front army stepped out of the hay-paved road, but the first soldier to walk out suddenly felt his feet slip and fell heavily to the ground.
The soldiers who followed from the rear were caught off guard and fell down several people.
The remaining soldiers stopped in time.
Someone immediately stepped forward to check the situation, turned around and said, "General, on the road in front, I don't know why it was wet with tung oil, it seems that it has just fallen." ”
Pang Quan stepped forward to look at it suspiciously, wondering why there was tung oil here, and ordered: "Spread the hay behind you on it and hurry as soon as possible." ”
As long as you go back a day earlier, the girder will be less dangerous for one day.
"Yui!"
The soldiers hurried to get started.
However, on the mountains on both sides of the road, hundreds of Qin soldiers suddenly appeared.
"It's not good, that's the Qin army'......"
Soon someone shouted in panic.
Sure enough, there are traps and ambushes!
When Pang Quan heard this voice, he instantly had a bad premonition, and quickly put people on guard, ready to fight back at any time.
But they couldn't see the Qin army coming in, and the Qin soldiers who appeared on the mountain just carried dozens of huge wooden barrels and threw them directly to the road below.
Bang!
The barrel quickly rolled to the bottom of the hill and was broken, and all sorts of grease quickly flowed down and spread over the hay.
Just as the other Wei soldiers were wondering what the Qin army was going to do, Pang Quan shouted: "The Qin army is going to attack with fire, go quickly!" ”
But as soon as his voice fell, an arrow with a fiery light shot down from the mountain.
It landed right on top of the hay and grease.
Rumble!
The fire was ignited in an instant, spreading towards the Wei army and encircling it.
The wet grass underneath is also tung oil and grease, which is directly ignited when it encounters an open flame.
The sea of fire swept in with the momentum of a prairie fire, swallowing the Wei soldiers in the blink of an eye.
At the exit and entrance of the mountain road, there were also soldiers of the Qin army in ambush, and when they saw this, they drew their bows and shot arrows with flames into them.
The fire became more and more terrifying, cutting off all the retreats of the Wei army.
There were all kinds of heart-rending screams in the sea of fire, and the smell of burning drifted out with the wind, which was very unpleasant.
Wei General Pang Quan was directly stunned, he always suspected that the Qin army would have traps, but he didn't expect that there really was, and he still used fire to attack so ruthlessly, this fire was enough to burn them all to death, and none of them could survive.
Before the sea of fire spread to his side, Pang Quan shouted: "Rush out!" ”
His own soldiers hurriedly gathered, as did the other soldiers.
Rushing to the mountain, it is a bit difficult, there must be an ambush of the Qin army on the mountain, and there is the interference of thick smoke, they can only rush to the exit, use dozens of soldiers to rush forward to fight the flames to open the way, and then rush forward together.
However, as soon as they rushed out, there was also an ambush at the exit.
A large number of arrows swept by like locusts.
As soon as Pang Quan and the others walked outside, they were immediately harvested by arrows, and after falling to the ground, they were soon engulfed by the sea of fire and all of them were scorched.
Bai Zhong led everyone to the exit, saw the fire inside, smelled a bad smell, and couldn't help but cover his nose, this fire was enough to burn all 250,000 people to death.
Even if there are those who can't be burned, they will be shot by the Qin soldiers in ambush.
"Your plan is a bit cruel."
Ying Shu saw the tragic situation in front of her and said a little unbearably.
A total of 250,000 people were burned alive, a bit of a huge number, and when they were burned, I don't know how painful it was, it was much more painful than dying on the battlefield normally.
Meng Tian thinks the same way.
Bai Zhong said disappreciatively: "War, that's it, wait for the fire to go out, and then go in and clean up the battlefield." ”
He thought about how miserable the scene would be when he attacked with fire, and said: "For the enemy, you should not be merciful, and you should not be merciful to the army, otherwise you will kill your own soldiers." ”
"The general is right, Ci is not in charge of the troops!"
Meng Tian agreed first.
Wars are often brutal.
Rivers of blood are also the norm.
This fire, which burned for more than half an hour, was finally extinguished, and some of the flames spread to the mountain, but they were quickly extinguished by the Qin soldiers on the mountain.
The soldiers of the Qin army who went to clean up the battlefield, saw the miserable situation of the Wei army burned to death inside, even if they had killed so many enemies, they couldn't help the tumbling in their stomachs and vomited, and finally Bai Zhong suggested that they dig up the soil from the mountain and fill in the passage below.
Next, the Qin army walked about ten miles to the south and camped down to rest.
Bai Zhong simply judged the current situation, asked the 70,000 people to go back to Wang Ben, continue to dig the canal, flood the beam, he took the rest of the people around him, and marched to the east of the beam, the final goal was Suiyang, to help Qiang solve the blame of the prince of Ningling.
The north and west sides of the girder, as well as the south side, are completely safe, and only the east side is still unstable.
At night.
Bai Zhong opened the attribute panel and looked at it, and the merit point had risen to more than five thousand.
Some of them are the transformation of war exploits, almost 400,000 people, and some of them are the merit points he got by killing the smuggled Wei soldiers that day, and the two have been counted together.
"System, all plus a little flesh."
"Success."
"+5320 Strength, +5320 Defense, +5320 Speed."
"Congratulations to the host, the system has been upgraded to level 6."
The voice of the upgrade sounded in his head.
