Tianshan Gorge, the Donghu army is completely in trouble, the dead and wounded war horses are almost eaten up, the Donghu people have been accompanied by war horses since childhood, the feelings can be imagined, only cattle and sheep are fed on weekdays, and the consumption of war horses is completely forced to eat, Donghu Wang stared at the fire, listened to it, only the sound of the wind, the position of the canyon on the lower side of the valley can be reached instantly by the speed of the war horse, and now it is completely separated by the Zhao army.

"King, it's late at night, it's time to rest." One person stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, it should be the guards around him, seeing that the king's meat was difficult to swallow, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully.

"Can't sleep."

"The king doesn't have to worry, as long as the coalition camp arrives, he will definitely be able to join forces inside and outside to defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop."

"It's been seven days, and there has been no movement at all in the lower camp, so how can this king rest assured, the Yan army camp should also be close, and there is no news either, only to blame the rush to go deep alone, and even more arrogant and conceited and finally fell into Zhao Kuo's trap." King Donghu couldn't help but sigh after speaking, seven days have passed, the fire has not stopped, the army is trapped in the canyon and cannot rush out, remembering the mistake of the day's decision, the army is in danger and his expression of remorse is revealed.

"The king doesn't have to blame himself, he still remembers that he was surrounded by people in the snow valley and almost froze to death, but he finally survived with the spirit of not admitting defeat and seized the opportunity to kill in one fell swoop."

"It's been too long, and this king has forgotten it, yes, as long as you have hope, you can definitely do it."

The fire at the mouth of the valley is soaring, the fire has not weakened at all in the past seven consecutive days, the two sides of the canyon are full of dense forests, among which there are many dry trees, the two teams of soldiers keep running back and forth, the dry firewood in front of the canyon is piled up like a mountain, the eyes of the king of Donghu are closed, some miss the grassland, the blue sky, white clouds, green grass, clear streams, the childhood keeps running back and forth around the camp tent, the carefree days are always nostalgic.

As soon as the king of Donghu was sleepy, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, the leader of the guards quickly came out, and a group of cavalry returned, slightly wolf-like, and the leader was almost lying on the top of the war horse, and he could see clearly in the firelight, with arrows on his shoulders, "How is the injury?" ”

"Out of the way!"

The man bit his lip, and the arrow shot deep in, and the pain in it can be imagined, and if he held on, he must be a tough guy, and the leader supported him, and the man got off the horse.

The book implied that the Donghu army was trapped in the canyon and could not break through, and the 10,000 cavalry who had entered the canyon before also lost contact, so they had to send a team to search inward.

The king of Donghu had to send the elite again, explain it, be on guard along the way, not enter too deep, and return immediately as soon as there was a situation, go out for a hundred horses, and come back with less than ten people.

"It's good to be back."

"Where is the king?"

"I just fell asleep, I haven't slept well for a few days, and it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow."

"Good!"

"Come here."

King Donghu sat up, his face was still a little tired, just the two of them spoke vaguely heard, the two had to step forward, King Donghu frowned, his body stood up, the man was just about to give a salute, and suddenly his body was held up, the person who shot was the king of Donghu, although he was old, his hands were still strong, his right hand held the arrow, pulled hard, and the flesh and blood flew up, and someone on the side prepared medicine, tear off his clothes and wrap them quickly.

"King Xie." The man looked grateful, the lack of medicine in the army was even more precious, and even if he was injured in the army, he was not eligible for medicine.

"You deserve it, what's up ahead?"

The man said: "The Zhao army completely blocked the road ahead with large stones, and distributed crossbowmen on the high ground along the way, although it could not go deeper, judging from the traces along the way, the front camp had been wiped out by the Zhao army." ”

King Donghu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, he had already expected the result, but he didn't see it with his own eyes and never wanted to believe it, the periphery was full of wounded and dead war horses, the Donghu cavalry was on horseback, the war horse was dead, and the cavalry couldn't survive at all, "Zhao Kuo, this is to trap this king." ”

The king of Donghu had a sad face, the rear was blocked, and there was no way out at the mouth of the canyon, and the 20,000 army had no food and could only die here.

"King, simply rushed out to fight with Zhao Ren, killing one is enough, killing two is profitable, and after eighteen years, he will be a good man again." The person who spoke was the general who had just arrived, one of the four murderers under the tent of King Donghu, originally two people entered, and one person was blocked in the canyon and his life and death were unknown.

King Donghu shook his head, "It's not good for me to rush out at this time, give the order to go down, and continue to wait for reinforcements!" ”

King Donghu still has a glimmer of hope, seven days have passed, the army of King Yan should have approached, King Yan's 70,000 soldiers and horses, plus 60,000 elites of the Donghu camp, a full 130,000 army will inevitably be able to defeat the Zhao army guarding in front of the canyon.

The outer camp of the mouth of the canyon is lined up, and the Zhao army strengthens the front defense, with a clear purpose, once the camp of the Donghu rear army is close to immediately take precautions, the Donghu army is trapped in the canyon, Zhao Kuo's purpose has been achieved, and there is no reason to continue to retreat.

All the generals gathered, the military advisor Zhang Liang, the fierce generals Mu Chen, Zhang He, Erwa, Hei Niu, Bai Ying led the troops to block the retreat in the depths of the canyon, there was already an arrangement, the grain and grass were sufficient, the arrows and boulders were also ready, and the rope bridge was built above the cliff with the flying tiger claws, and the soldiers were agile and could walk freely.

"How's the front army?"

"It's ready, no matter how many people come, don't figure it out."

Zhao Kuo nodded, "I have repeatedly withdrawn from the army before, but now the goal has been achieved, and the order will be passed on, and the whole army will only advance and not retreat, and those who kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions will be rewarded, and those who retreat and fear the war will be killed." ”

The order was issued, and more than ten cavalry set off quickly, "I don't know what the situation is in the canyon, but Lao Bai is always relieved to be alone in it." Mu Chen's eyes fell to the mouth of the canyon, the fire was blazing, the Donghu cavalry had not moved for a few days, the Donghu cavalry was good at fighting, and now that they were in danger, they would inevitably ignore it, and they really sweated for Bai Ying.

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "General Mu can rest assured, the situation inside is completely different from here, narrow and difficult to walk, coupled with the steep mountains on both sides, although the Donghu cavalry is good at riding and shooting, charging and killing, it is a pity that they have not been able to master the method of attacking the city and plundering the land, otherwise with the strength of the Donghu cavalry, Yan Guo would have already been trampled on the ground." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "What the military advisor said is extremely true, when the king of Japan once entered the canyon himself, as long as he occupied a few dangerous places, he could completely block the tens of thousands of Donghu troops with the strength of only a hundred people, so it was the advantage of the terrain in the art of war." Zhao Kuo is familiar with the art of war, especially the art of war given by Zhao Hao that day, and carefully studied it in his spare time, and found that the subtleties are far from the meaning between the words, and the art of war is also related to each other, and only by mastering it can it be mastered.

"In this way, Mu Chen is relieved."

"How's the Marksman Battalion's arrows doing?"

"Less than forty percent."

"Calculate the time, the materials made by the armory workshop should be about to arrive, don't worry, if you encounter a war, you can go all out to release arrows, don't affect the combat power for this!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Jun used a repeater, the arrows are also special, compared to the shorter, the crossbow arrow box can store multiple arrows, through the guò above the mechanism quickly filled, so has a rapid strike ability, the power is also amazing, the disadvantage is that the number of arrows is extremely demanding, two arrows at a time, may not be able to hit two people at the same time, can only ensure that the powerful firepower instantly causes a fatal blow, even if you win, most of the arrows penetrate deep into the opponent's body can not be taken out.

The sky was dark, except for the two huge fires in front of the canyon, the Zhao army's camp was pitch black, and more than 100,000 people quickly disappeared in the dense forest with the night.

The situation in the lower canyon is almost the same, the front camp was cut in half, the front army was blocked and could not retreat and could not rush out, the rear army encountered the Zhao army to rush and kill with all its strength and finally collapsed, a murderer will enter the canyon with 10,000 Wang Wei to set up an ambush, only waiting for Zhao reinforcements to enter and kill quickly.

It was not Zhao Jun who was waiting for the firelight, the firelight rose, and the soldiers quickly came to report, "General, the big thing is not good, Zhao Jun set fire to the valley!" ”

"Set fire?" The murderer's eyes widened, his left hand grabbed his hair hard, and he couldn't figure out Zhao Jun's intentions for a while, since he wanted to reinforce the defenders in the canyon, he should send troops directly into it, why did he set fire to the valley mouth, and what was the purpose of the fire!

"The exit was completely blocked by fire."

"Check it out."

The situation was exactly the same, the fire was so bright that the entire mouth of the gorge was completely surrounded by fire, and as the firewood and grass kept being thrown in, the fire slowly spread inward, and the smoke was everywhere, and the nearby cavalry had to get off their horses, crouch down and cover their noses with their hands.

"Playing with fire?"

It is no stranger to fire, most of them are eaten by roasting meat, the day is an open fire, and the night is a bonfire, and the tribes also have regulations, after the late autumn, only near the camp tent can make a fire, which is treated so as not to endanger the pasture, once the fire spreads, the entire pasture is reduced to ashes, and all the cattle and sheep will starve to death, and they will not be able to survive the long winter.

"General, the fire is too big, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

The fierce general laughed, "So what, it's really wishful thinking to trap the eagle on the grassland with a fire, so it's just right, save a lot of trouble, get more horse meat, and have a good meal tonight." ”

The soldiers came to report, a large number of dead and wounded horses were found in the canyon, large pieces of horse meat were cut down and thrown into the fire to make a sizzling sound, and a battle turned into a barbecue meeting, which was also funny, but it must not last long.

Three days have passed, the fierce general is so anxious that he paced back and forth, 10,000 elites were blocked inside, if it was passed out, they would not be laughed to death, the most important thing is that the situation outside is unknown, whether the elite led by the king encountered the same situation, and how to break through the current predicament.

Waiting is the most test of people's patience, aimless waiting is even more devastating, the fire on the dry firewood, horse meat overlaps each other, some people look at the fire with a distracted look, some people caress the war horse, since childhood and the horse for a living, establish a very deep friendship with each other, some words can not be told to people only war horses, no complaints, let alone betray themselves.

The fierce general sat on the stone and also looked at the fire in a daze, as a general became helpless when facing a predicament, the canyon in front was completely blocked by boulders, there was a huge fire in front of him, and the periphery was already prepared for the elite of the Zhao army, unless a miracle happened, otherwise there was no chance of winning at all.
