Chapter 060
Seeing the sudden change in the valley, Li Fengjiao decisively gave the order to set fire. Suddenly, fire arrows, oil bombs, and flying arrows were fired at the chariots and cavalry in the valley. Wherever the arrows hit, the ground of the valley seemed to be dry.
The fire quickly spread, and in a blink of an eye, there were flames everywhere in the valley. The originally flat ground was exposed one after another. Under the ground were lumps of kerosene as dry as black stone. The fire was now burning
With the dry wood burning like this, all the kerosene suddenly started to burn.
The soldiers who were in ambush near the mountain pass in the valley also lit fire cages and blocked the mountain pass.
For a moment, the world changed dramatically. Just now, the calm valley with green grass, fallen leaves everywhere, and breeze blowing in the face has now turned into a regional volcanic crater. Many big trees burned, and the green grass everywhere turned into a sea of fire.
, the breeze in the sky turned into a blazing fire, making people scorching and unbearable
When the chariots and cavalrymen in the valley saw the fire all over the sky, they all fled one after another. However, they were all blocked by the fire. How could they distinguish the direction clearly? They had to ride their horses in all directions. Many war horses were running.
At that moment, the horse tails were ignited by the fire, and soon many of the horses went crazy with pain. For a time, the cavalry team in the valley became even more chaotic. Many of the cavalry were not burned to death by the fire, but were killed by the fire.
The horse was knocked to the ground and trampled to death by garbled characters.
Suddenly, wolf smoke was everywhere in the valley, and howls were everywhere. Screams and groans continued to spread out of the valley. The clouds between the shaking sky and the earth closed, a yellow wind suddenly rose, and the sky and the earth changed color.
The billowing waves of fire flew away with the wind, leaving charred corpses all over the ground. After an unknown amount of time, Li Fengjiao led everyone onto the hot ground in the valley. They looked at only a dozen chariots and cavalrymen who fled with their lives, and the soldiers of Baishi Mountain.
I should have felt very happy, but when I turned around, dozens of charred corpses appeared. When I looked up again, I saw hundreds of charred corpses lying in the distance. When I looked up again, I saw thousands of charred corpses scattered all over the valley, densely packed.
Hard to describe
Everyone saw that everywhere in the valley were charred corpses struggling painfully before death. Some of the charred corpses still had ferocious faces on them. Some of the charred corpses used their twisted hands to protect their bodies. Some of them were charred.
However, the corpse had obviously killed itself with its own saber. All the tragic scenes were appalling and disgusting.
Seeing that their victory was based on the corpses of these foreigners, everyone in Baishi Mountain who was originally very happy remained silent, lowered their heads and walked slowly on the road leaving the valley.
Hulukou travels farther and farther, and is gradually submerged by mountains and ridges. The mountains will become the mountains they were before, the trees and flowers will still grow slowly, and the valley will become more beautiful. But what happened once
There was a tragic war there, but it will never be forgotten by everyone on both sides of the war.
Many years later, some of the people who survived that time would tell the younger generations never to use fists to solve problems whenever they mentioned the war. Whenever the younger generations asked why or laughed at the old people for being timid and fearful of trouble.
When the time comes, the old people who tell this story will always leave silently with sad smiles.
Zhao Sheng, who was walking on the mountain road, was in an extremely low mood at this time. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Fengjiao, and asked feebly: "War is just scary. I hope that a war between us and the cavalry can be done."
End it soon”
Li Fengjiao did not answer, but still silently rode her horse slowly on the mountain road.
"We can go back to the mountain city in two days, and we can live a peaceful life again." Seeing Li Fengjiao like this, Zhao Sheng knew that no matter how strong the young and lively girl was, she was also fragile and kind-hearted at heart, how could she endure that tragedy?
At that moment, I couldn't help but say something that I knew was impossible.
Li Fengjiao also heard that Zhao Sheng was comforting her with good intentions, and felt warm and comfortable in her heart. She immediately cheered up and ordered the soldiers to speed up and rush to the mountain city.
Just after Li Fengjiao and others left, a fast rider with nearly a thousand people circled Hulukou, traveling at a speed of five hundred miles a day, and headed towards Baishi City on a mountain road far away from Hulu Valley.
One day later, another group of chariots and cavalry with more than 10,000 people divided into two groups and headed towards the southwest avenue of Jade City. They carefully crossed the Hulukou and pursued Li Tiangui and others in the direction of retreat.
Two days later, Li Fengjiao finally caught up with Li Tiangui and others. At this time, Li Tiangui heard Tian Ying explain the situation of all the passages in Baishi City being blocked on the way back to the city. After hearing this, everyone who returned to the city felt exactly the same.
At the critical moment, Li Fengjiao and Zhao Sheng happened to lead a team and told everyone about the defeat of the cavalry at Hulukou. Everyone was overjoyed and praised Li.
Li Tiangui and others were also informed about the hanging basket erected on the cliff. At this time, the worries on everyone's faces were wiped away.
At this time, the soldiers behind who were in charge of distant sentry had noticed the billowing dust on the mountain road from a distance. They guessed that it must be the pursuit of chariots and cavalry, and hurriedly informed Li Tiangui and others about this.
Everyone gave advice to Li Tiangui one after another. Some said they wanted to fight the chariots and cavalry to the death, while others said they wanted to avoid the edge for a while.
Seeing that everyone had different opinions, Li Tiangui turned to Zhao Sheng and asked: "What if our army returns to the city in a hanging basket?"
Zhao Sheng said hurriedly: "When I left, I asked to prepare more hanging baskets, but time was short. I estimate that there will only be more than twenty hanging baskets. If there are two thousand people, the hanging baskets will need to be raised and lowered hundreds of times.
Not to mention we have nearly 7,000 troops here.”
Li Tiangui nodded and said: "I understand. It seems that it is impossible for our army to return to the city as soon as possible. However, our army has just broken through the encirclement and has not been able to repair its foothold for several days. We want to fight with the car."
It is not a good idea for cavalry to decisively fight in the air.”
At this time, Lin Dameng came forward and said: "General, why don't we retreat to the mountains? On the one hand, we can draw the chariots and cavalry away, and then our army can go to the back of the Baishi City Valley to find a place to build a new city. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? It's just that
Our army still has many wounded soldiers and cannot travel long distances."
When Li Tiangui heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Lin Dameng, do you know the way into the mountain?"
Lin Dafeng said: "My subordinates and my brother have hunted in this mountain all year round and are quite familiar with the mountain roads. A few days ago, I heard that the general wanted to build a new city. My brother thought of a perfect place that could build a city of 100,000 people.
The land of great cities”
Li Tiangui couldn't help but be overjoyed on his face, and then he pondered for a moment, then suddenly made up his mind and slapped his thigh hard.
Having made up his mind, Li Tiangui turned around and said to the generals behind him: "Gentlemen, I intend to use Lin Dameng's plan. Firstly, I can lure the pursuers away from Baishi City. Secondly, I can start building a new city. I don't know what your intentions are."
Seeing that Li Tiangui had made up his mind, the rest of the people had a resolute attitude. Even those who had other ideas just now could no longer insist on their opinions. At that moment, everyone said: "I am willing to obey the general's orders."
Li Tiangui sent an order: "There are more than three thousand seriously injured people in our army. They cannot travel long distances and need to stay in the mountain city. I order Tian Ying to be the chief general, Li Fengjiao, Zhao Sheng, Lin Dali, Fang Ahu, and Fang Abiao to be the generals."
Lieutenant general, lead three thousand wounded soldiers to hide behind the slopes on both sides of the mountain road in the south. When I lead the army to lead the chariots and cavalry into the mountains, you can quickly return to Baishi Mountain City to recover. Secondly, Lin Dali can lead a hundred people behind the mountain city, from
Go over the mountain behind the mountain city and meet up with our army at the place where the mountain city was built. I want to open the passage between the new city and the mountain city in the shortest possible time."
When the six people heard their names being read, they all said: "I obey my orders." After saying this, the six people crossed the mountain road leading to Baishi Mountain City and hid in the mountains to the south.
