A wall of fire stops the enemy

The deputy general on the side saw the piles of grain stacks, the corners of his mouth pulled, and he couldn't help but chirp, and said distressedly: "I'm really willing, let alone ten thousand stones of grain and grass, let's say it's burned."

Wang Junkuo glanced at the deputy general, and said expressionlessly: "If you don't burn it, the main general is not worthy of the main general."

The adjutant general's face changed for a while when he heard this

It's red, and I don't know if it's red by the fire, or what.

What Wang Junkuo said was really hurtful, and the subconscious didn't mean that he felt sorry for this grain and grass and was destined not to be the material for the main general, not to mention how aggrieved the deputy general was.

"Within three days, the whole city will collect 50,000 stone of grain and grass without delay." Wang Junkuo threw down a sentence in a flat tone, and then turned around and left.

The generals behind him couldn't help but shudder when they heard it, and a chill rose in their hearts, looking at the quaint Yixian County in the firelight, it seemed that they were singing cool in their ears.

Within three days, 50,000 stone of military rations were levied, that is 50,000 stones, if it is normal season, Yi County is a big county, Hebei Shang County, 50,000 stone grain and grass is not a problem, maybe a rich household can be taken out, but now it is a famine just read, spring planting has not yet begun, the autumn harvest is still far away, where to find 50,000 stone grain and grass, this is not to loot the life-saving food of the people of Yi County, these grains and grasses have been collected, it is estimated that the former prosperous Yi County is also starving.

The generals guessed that it was the Yi County Army Commander's act of burning grain that completely angered the ruthless generalissimo.

Looking at the Yixian army at this time, the two lieutenants of Wang and Zhao had already met, but what gave them a headache was that the Dazhai in the south of the city was bypassed, and there was no large-scale fierce battle, but there was an elite rebel army of no less than 5,000 people in the rear army, like the gangrene of the appendages, and they had to fight all the way and retreat all the way.

Their rear army also had 5,000 elites to deal with, but in less than an hour, they had not yet evacuated 50 miles from Yixian, which seriously slowed down the speed, not to mention, and after the 5,000 breaks, less than half of the elites were broken, but the pursuing rebels were wounded and killed.

Captain Zhao looked depressed, threw the blood drops on the knife, and caught up with Captain Wang of the front army.

"Brother Wang, it can't be like this, I was beaten all the way, and I was defeated without a fight, which is really aggrieved. Brother Wang, you lead the army first and go first, I will lead the rear army to the rear palace, otherwise we will be dragged to death here, and I don't know what the plan of the king and thief is." The bearded man said angrily.

When Wang Duwei heard this, his brows furrowed, as if he was hesitating, and Zhao Duwei couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Oh, Brother Wang, don't hesitate, I'll catch up with you when I clean up the group of stinky flies behind."

When Wang Duwei heard this, he also nodded, and said directly: "It's okay, Brother Zhao is careful, why don't you bring two more thousand people?" ”

"After the break, it's to cover the army to break through, what is it that I brought with me? Let's go, Brother Wang, take care." As soon as Captain Zhao raised his horizontal knife, he turned his horse's head and beckoned the rear army to stop the defense.

"Brothers, let's not run away, a turtle grandson, a gang of rabble traitors, it's not that we can't beat them, why should we run? The whole army lined up to meet the enemy, let them see the true colors of our Yizhou men"

。 Zhao Duwei shook the horizontal knife and immediately shouted.

When nearly 3,000 post-army soldiers heard this, they immediately felt a hot breath in their hearts, all of them were pestles and spears and horizontal knives, and they shouted loudly, and their morale was shocked for a while.

Yizhou is located in the land of Yan Zhao, since ancient times, there are many generous men, martial arts, since Yi County withdrew, it means that they do not occupy and flee, abandon the city and flee, but also were chased and beaten all the way like a water dog, the soldiers have long been holding back a breath of anger in their hearts, now we don't run, just do it with you, Hebei Yanzhao land, men are not cowardly.

Looking at the morale of the 3,000 army, Zhao Duwei also burned a pride in his heart, looking at the nearly 5,000 rebels nearby, but ten zhang away, even in the dark night, under the light of the torches, all the soldiers could clearly see the rebels, and even could see the rebel leader's sneer, that wild laugh, that contemptuous smile.

"Brethren, open the bow".

"Shoot".

"Raise your sword, kill." Captain Zhao dismounted and shouted, and raised his sword to rush towards the enemy.

In the dark night, although it was lit red by tens of thousands of torch lanterns on both sides, it was okay to ride a horse, but if it was a charge to kill the enemy, it was not feasible, the night was dark, and once the horse was speedy, it was easy to fall.

The battle was short-handed, and the 3,000-strong army held the slope in a strict formation, while the 5,000-strong rebels rushed like a pack of wild wolves, screaming under the heavy reward.

Although the rebels were numerous, they had no camp, and they were at the bottom of the slope, so they couldn't help but be blocked and weakened for a while.

The hillside was covered with dry grass and bushes, and the scattered torches and lanterns soon burned the hillside, and both the soldiers and soldiers jumped to avoid the place where the fire was burning, and Zhao Duwei couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and this fire effectively blocked the offensive of the rebels.

Immediately shouted: "All the troops are fighting and retreating, Lao Lu, your command will set fire to all the mountains and forests in this area."

The brigade commander surnamed Lu was ordered to go down, and the whole army was also retreating while fighting, and after a while, a wide wall of fire was blocked in front of the two armies.

Seeing this, Captain Zhao laughed and immediately ordered to catch up with the army.

The rebels who were blocked out of the wall of fire couldn't help but sigh at the fire, and Liu angrily poked an arm-thick branch with a shot, and his face was hot from the fire.

"The whole army bypassed the wall of fire and continued to pursue". Liu Yong ordered angrily.

"General, more than half of our army's casualties have been lost, and there are only two thousand people left, so we can't chase it anymore, so it's better to withdraw." The adjutant general counted the soldiers and immediately came to hear the order, and said hurriedly.

There are some 20,000 troops in front, and his two thousand tired soldiers are recklessly catching up, isn't this looking for a draw?

Liu Yongyan frowned and was furious: "This place is still a hundred miles away from the Golden Terrace, and the generalissimo's order has not been completed, how can it be withdrawn?" "Anyway, I took care of the side of the wall of fire.

By the time Liu Yong bypassed the continuous fire forest, Zhao Duwei had already caught up with Wang Duwei.

After some narration, Wang Duwei was also overjoyed, looking at the back, the red fire on the edge of the seal, his heart was very happy, such a fire, it must be able to effectively block the footsteps of the rebels, and immediately did not dare to delay, and ordered to speed up and move forward, as long as it passed the golden platform dozens of miles away, to the Dingzhou region, it was safe, although the city was lost, but it saved the lives of most of the soldiers, and left the fire of the Yizhou army, Yan Changshi and his brother's hard work was not lost in my hands.

It's closer, it's closer, and it's less than fifty miles away from the golden platform on the border of Yiding and the two states.
