Three hours ago.

"Jiuhua Mountain has been spilled!"

"The Changling area has been spilled!"

"Calling the Dog Mountain ......"

One message after another.

According to the scout's footsteps, the scouts from the south to the green forest and the east to Laowuling should have also completed the arrangement.

In other words, the oil has completed the general encirclement of the mountain range within sixty miles in diameter centered on the main peak of Dahong Mountain, and all the places where the traces of the Chu army have been found in this range have also been sprinkled with oil!

Looking at the flag that was erected in front of the big tent of the Chinese army and floated to the northeast, Ying Chengcheng asked in a deep voice: "Has the news of Li Xin, Qiang Huai, Xin Sheng, and Yang Hui been sent back?" ”

Yang Hu immediately replied: "Commander Xin Sheng and Commander Yang Yu have arrived at the predetermined location and are building military camps and digging fortifications. ”

"The news of Du Wei Li Xin and Qiang Huai's second department has not yet been returned."

After two days of dispatch, now Ying Chengcheng has led the main army to block the north side of Dahong Mountain, Yang Xu's headquarters is on the west side of Dahong Mountain, and Xin Sheng's department is on the east side of Dahong Mountain.

Only Li Xin and Qiang Huai, who were responsible for building an encirclement on the south side, had not yet received any news because the distance was too long.

Ying Cheng's hand was trembling slightly, and his eyes were still firmly fixed on the banner. But his voice was very steady: "No hurry, no hurry." ”

"Don't let your impatience reveal your whereabouts!"

Yang Hu bowed his head and said: "The two captains are good at attacking and fighting. ”

"Although there are many new recruits in the soldiers and horses of the two captains, according to the ability of the two captains and their classmates, even if the speed is slower, they will not ...... violently."

As he spoke, the flag in front of the Chinese army's big tent that floated to the northeast slowly fell, and after more than ten breaths, the flag turned to the southwest, twitching and shaking off.

Ying Cheng's eyes showed a hint of astonishment, and his steps unconsciously walked forward.

After dozens of breaths, the flag no longer twitched, but stretched out towards the southwest.

The wind is also stronger!

Yang Hu stopped halfway through his words, and said in amazement:

"The wind turns southwest?!"

"It's autumn!"

The corners of Ying Cheng's mouth couldn't help but show a smile:

"But this is Dahong Mountain!"

As early as on the march, Ying Chengcheng had already asked the veterans of Nanyang County in detail about the hydrology, wind direction and other weather conditions in the Dahong Mountain area.

Although the west and north winds dominate in autumn, the Dahong Mountain, which is located at the end of the Qinling Mountains, occasionally blows southerly winds due to its topography.

On average, there are about three days of south wind and two days of southeast or southwest wind every month in Dahongshan in autumn!

Although the south wind direction was more favorable to the Qin army, Ying Chengcheng was not prepared to go to Bo This small probability event, it was all arranged according to the direction of the north wind.

But today, a good wind suddenly rose.

God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame!

Ying Cheng shouted in a broken voice: "Immediately send a herald to order the two departments of Captain Li Xin and Commander Qiang Huai." ”

"No need to hide your whereabouts anymore, rush south at full speed."

"At the same time, send scouts first, and be sure to ignite the oil at 21:00!"

"Order the Xifeng Department to hold the northern defense line and continue to spill oil!"

"Let the Xifeng Department and the Xinsheng Department also ignite the oil at the right time!"

"Order the commander Yang Xu's department, turn to the southwest in a concealed direction, and build a position!"

"If all units encounter enemy troops, they must hold their positions, and immediately assess the strength of the enemy army and summon the Chinese army!"

"Order the middle and rear armies, turn to the west, and target the area where the original Yang Yu headquarters is stationed!"

Although the fire attack does not pay attention to the siege of three queyi.

But Ying Chengcheng did not think that a single fire could burn the Chu army, which did not know the specific deployment of troops.

Ying Cheng wanted to use this fire to make Chu Jun return to the great god Zhurong.

Ying Chengcheng even wants to use this fire area to guide the march of the Chu army to ensure that all Chu troops can return to the side of the great god of Zhurong!

Yang Hu excitedly arched his hand: "Only! ”

The herald no longer concealed himself, turned on his horse and galloped in all directions.

Hearing the order, Li Xin was overjoyed: "No need to hide? ”

The herald said in a deep voice, "No need to hide! ”

Li Xin smiled unconsciously: "Even if it is discovered by the enemy, it will not matter?" ”

The herald arched his hand and said: "Commander's order, let it go!" ”

"To be humble is to gallop a horse."

The smile on Li Xin's face became brighter.

Now there is only more than half an hour left before Rending.

It is not difficult to get to the predetermined location to complete the ignition in such a short time.

However, once the fire is raised, the Chu army will move!

Leading the army to form a defensive line before the Chu army escaped from the mountains was a difficult task for the vast majority of generals.

But for Li Xin?

Just let go of the reins, and he'll have a blast for you!

Li Xin immediately looked at Qiang Huai: "Captain Huaidu, my infantry is temporarily handed over to the commander of your department." ”

"Please also ask Captain Huai to hand over all the knights of your department to the commander of this general!"

Qiang Huai understood what Li Xin wanted to do.

It is nothing more than borrowing the knight's high mobility to charge at full speed, quickly build a defensive line, and use a small number of elite troops to block the enemy army and buy time for the follow-up infantry.

But Qiang Huai said in a deep voice: "I, Qiang people, are also good at running. ”

The smile on Li Xin's face was firm and proud: "The general dared to make a military order, and he would definitely complete the layout of the defense line before the arrival of the Chu army, and intercept the main force of the Chu army fleeing to the south." ”

"Do you dare to do so?"

The corners of Qianghuai's mouth twitched slightly.

Now the Qin army does not know the total strength of the Chu army on the front line of Dahong Mountain.

In case the Chu army pulled out more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them fled from the south, let alone the defense line composed of only elite knights, even if Li Xin and Qiang Huai were all thrown into it, they would not be able to stop the main force of the enemy army at all!

With so little information on the battlefield, a military writ?

I'm crazy, I'm not crazy yet!

Qiang Huai immediately surrendered his hand: "May Li Duwei win the flag!" ”

Li Xin's smile became arrogant, and he shouted loudly: "All scouts and knights obey orders!" ”

Taking the reins of the war horse from the hands of the soldiers, Li Xin turned over on his horse with both hands, and shouted:

"Follow the general, run!"

The war horse raised its hooves, carefully stepped on the gap between the roots of the trees and walked out of the jungle, stepped on the mountain road, and then stepped out of the four hooves, carrying Li Xin to the southwest galloping wildly!

Behind Li Xin, three thousand knights chased after him.

"Quick!"

"The whole army accelerates!"

Under the leadership of Li Xin's first soldiers, Li Xin's troops rushed forward.

Even if the occasional war horse broke its feet and the knight fell, the robe next to him only glanced at it and continued to rush forward.

When there was still half an hour before Rending, Li Xin not only led the scouts to the vicinity of the green forest, but even brought the elite knights here!

The war horse under his crotch panted like a bellows, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with white foam.

Li Xin patted his crotch and got off the war horse with pity, and while turning over and dismounting, he shouted in a deep voice: "All the knights dismount and use the hillside to disperse and prepare for battle." ”

"Scout with Ben!"

Taking a basket from the hands of the soldiers and carrying it on his back, Li Xin held a torch and led five hundred scouts into the mountains and forests.

Following the marker to find the location where the scouts had spilled the oil before, Li Xin sprinkled all the oil in the basket onto the trees.

"The autumn wind is cool, and I will make a fire for you to keep warm."

Looking at the direction of the main peak of Dahong Mountain, Li Xin raised his right hand with an arrogant smile, and the spark fell to the ground:

"Great God Zhurong has opened his arms, everyone, go home!"

At the same time, all five hundred scouts threw out their torches like Li Xin!

"Boom~"

A large amount of oil is ignited the first time it comes into contact with the flame.

The rising flames and heat caused the air to grind with a muffled sound.

Autumn is a time when the forests are dry, and wildfires are likely to occur.

Now there is oil to fuel and ignite the fire, and in just a few tens of breaths, a fire snake tens of meters wide has been summoned from hell into the world!

At the same time.

A fire broke out on the north side of Dahong Mountain!

A fire broke out on the east side of Dahong Mountain!

Ying Cheng, who had just led the army to the west side of Dahong Mountain, looked at the stars in the distance and stretched out his right hand.

In the shape of a palm hoop to blow out the wind, Ying Chengcheng finally showed a relaxed smile:

"With the strength of the good wind, send you to the sky!"

……

Although they are dozens of miles apart, the pair of Weng sons-in-law of Ying Chengcheng and Jing Chou are 'appreciating' a flame together.

It's a pity that Jing Chou's mood is diametrically opposed to Ying Cheng's!

Jing Chou shouted and asked, "Where did your department find the Qin army?" ”

The scout hurriedly responded: "North of Dahong Mountain, five miles south of Pinglin Township!" ”

"Judging by its scale, the number of people is no less than 100,000."

"The other robes are scouting the enemy's troops, and our troops will return first to report the enemy's movements!"

Jing Chou quickly sketched out in his mind the location where the scouts had discovered the Qin army.

It is a plain area in the north of the Dahong Mountains.

If it weren't for these fires, Jing Chou would have expected Yu Qin's army to continue to turn northwest along Pinglin Township and enter the mountain road between Dahong Mountain and Qinling.

But alas, there is no if.

The Chu army has been hiding here for more than half a month, and the officers and men of all departments should have already adapted to hiding.

But just tonight, several flames rose up, and the Qin army happened to be found in the north!

How could this be a coincidence!

Xiang Rong looked beyond the firelight at the night in the distance, and clenched his teeth: "Chang'anjun, a gentleman in vain, actually set fire to the mountain!" ”

"How could he do such a shady and brutal act!"

"Isn't he afraid of the blame of heaven and earth, and he is not afraid of damaging the virtue of yang, longevity and yin!"

Under Xiang Rong's gaze, the firelight lit up in the south was not only rapidly increasing, but every firelight was still expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just a few tens of breaths, several flames have already spread to the left and right, forming a crazy fire snake!

Jing Chou's face became more and more ugly: "Qin Jun has a thing called oil. ”

"This thing is very good at causing fire, and it even hit our army hard last year."

"Since Chang'anjun decided to set fire to the mountain tonight, he will not give up such a sharp weapon."

"The fire is going to spread very fast!"

"Order the whole army, give up all baggage, take only the dry rations, armor, and blades with you, and turn into the northern ......"

Before he finished speaking, Jing Chou saw that the north was also lit up with fire.

Although the fire is far less powerful than in the south, it also has the potential to burn the prairie fire.

Jing Chou had to turn around and say, "Dong ......"

However, before he finished speaking, Jing Chou saw that the east had also lit up with a fire snake that was not inferior to the south!

And what about the West?

Jing Chou looked to the west with hope.

This time, he was greeted by a dark night!

West, no fire!
