The people up and down the mountain were all stunned, how could this be, how could it be ignited when the mountains were full of green and moist vegetation?

It is impossible to burn the branches covered with green leaves as firewood, which is the most basic common sense of life, but everything in front of them completely subverts their three views.

It turned out that wet branches and leaves could be burned, and - the fire was so strong that they could not imagine it.

The fires that filled the mountains were like dragons of fire, spitting long tongues of fire, fiercely pounced from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Originally, the fire was not terrible, but the terrible thing was the fire raging in the wind, the wind helped the fire, the fire borrowed the power of the wind, the speed of the fire propulsion, and the wide range of its spread, all of which were shocking.

What's even more terrifying is that because the vegetation burned is alive, a large amount of smoke and dust is inevitably produced, and the smoke is as fast as the wind is blowing, and the smoke is as fast as it is swept over the entire mountain in an instant.

When Liu Min realized that the situation was not good, it was too late, and the thick smoke soon covered the camp of the Shu army, choking the Shu soldiers who couldn't open their eyes, couldn't breathe, and kept coughing violently, their eyes were red and swollen, and their eyes were full of tears.

Liu Min hurriedly ordered a retreat, and if he stayed in this smoke for one or two more pillars of incense, he was afraid that he would have to suffocate to death.

Moreover, this raging fire is extremely fierce, and if they do not retreat, the soldiers of the Shu army are likely to die in the flames.

In the face of the forces of nature, man is as small as a grain of sand.

But Liu Min's order was issued a little late, and the smoke with the speed of the wind had completely enveloped the Shu army front, and many soldiers could not breathe, and they were choked to death by the smoke.

Liu Min was also choked enough, the smoke made his eyes water, he couldn't open his eyes, and he exhaled harmful gases from his mouth and nose, causing him to cough violently.

Fortunately, a personal soldier next to him handed him a wet cloth towel, and asked him to cover his mouth and nose, Liu Min tried, and it worked, he ordered while withdrawing, and let the Shu soldiers do the same to reduce the poison of smoke.

In this chaotic situation, it is no longer possible to give orders directly, in the thick smoke and fire, the Shu soldiers are scattered and fled, and there is no choice of way, how can they hear Liu Min's order.

Therefore, Liu Min's orders can only be passed on by word of mouth among soldiers, although it is a little slower in terms of efficiency, but it can also cover the entire Shu army.

The cloth was easy to find, and many people simply tore a piece from their body and took care of the life-saving thing first.

But the cloth is easy to find, but unfortunately it is dry, and for it to work, you have to at least make sure that it is wet.

Originally, it wasn't much of a problem to wet it, but now it's not just fire and smoke, and it's very difficult to find a drop of water to come out.

However, the strong desire to survive drove them to do everything possible to get this thing done, and many people invariably thought of urine, so one by one the Shu soldiers unbuttoned their pants, sprinkled a soak of urine on the top of the cloth, and then covered their mouths and noses.

Although it is extremely fishy and smells bad, but compared with saving his life, what does it matter if he smells a little, at this time he can pee out smoothly, he is already the lucky one, and he didn't see many Shu soldiers unbuttoning his crotch, but found that he couldn't pee out at all, and it was completely messy.

Those who can ask their companions to borrow some urine can be regarded as lucky, and those who can't pee themselves and can't borrow other people's urine can only be a tragedy in the end.

Liu Min is now miserable, although he led not many soldiers and horses, but relying on the dangerous terrain of Xingshi Mountain, he can completely tidy up and wait for work, just the rolling wood and stones prepared in the early stage are enough for the Wei army to drink a pot.

When fighting with Xiahouba's vanguard battalion two days ago, the Shu army obviously had an advantage, killing and wounding more than a thousand Wei troops, and he only achieved single-digit casualties, such a disparity made Liu Min full of confidence in holding Xingshi Mountain.

But just two days later, seeing the follow-up armies of the Wei army arriving one after another, Liu Min was ready for the Wei army's attack again, but he didn't expect the Wei army to continue the previous routine, but changed the trick and set fire to the mountain.

This move is really vicious, almost forcing the Shu army guarding the mountain into a desperate situation, but it was a little sluggish, and many Shu soldiers were not able to withdraw, watching them being engulfed in flames and letting out a dying scream, Liu Min was heartbroken.

As the main general, Liu Min usually loves soldiers like children, but now that he sees them in flames, he can't do anything, and he can't help but sigh.

The retreat of the Shu army was not in a straight line, but along the road of the winding mountain, and the fire dragon was advancing with the wind, generally speaking, it was a straight line, many Shu soldiers retreated along the road of the winding mountain, but as they walked, they found that the front entered the sea of fire, and the heat wave came to their faces, and when they retreated, they found that the way back was also engulfed in the fire, and they fell into the front and back surrounded by fire.

How many Shu troops were burned to death by fire and smoked to death, it is too late to count them now, almost all the Shu army is now running all the way, this is completely a race against death, sometimes they can escape the encirclement of the fire if they take a step faster, and sometimes they are cut off by the fire and unfortunately become martyrs.

If the Wei army came to attack, even if hundreds of thousands of people were gathered, Liu Min's army did not feel afraid of defending against the danger. But in the face of this fire that can engulf everything, the defense of the Shu army became pale, and they only hated their father and mother for giving birth to a leg, and rushed to the road, and the price of the death of the robe told them that if they want to survive, they must have a speed faster than the fire.

And climbing the mountain is a strength work, because the previous distribution of the Shu army is not fixed, some on the top of the mountain, some on the mountainside, and some near the foot of the mountain, this multi-echelon defensive formation can effectively resist the attack of the Wei army.

But now in the face of the fire, those Shu soldiers who were originally on the mountainside on the top of the mountain can get away more calmly, but those Shu troops who are ambushed near the foot of the mountain are much more tragic, and almost none of them can be spared, because no matter how fast people run, it is impossible to run past the fire and race against the wind speed.

Are the Shu troops who can escape from the top of the mountain safe?

In fact, as long as you are on the mountain, you are not out of danger, and the fact that the fire is advancing to the top does not mean that it will be extinguished automatically, on the contrary, as long as there is wind, the fire will engulf everything.

Therefore, escaping the Shu army on the top of the mountain does not mean that they have picked up a life to go back, they can only escape from the clutches of death if they run more desperately.
