The two flames collided, and sparks burst out with a bang, but then the soldiers on both sides were stunned.
"Is this man a god?" Many soldiers in the Kingdom of Jin exclaimed, and even Pu San Zhongyi was a little shocked. Using fire to extinguish fire is beyond everyone's common sense. The soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty even regarded Guo Jing as a god. Morale, which was extremely low, instantly rose.
Song Qingshu smiled slightly, Guo Jing's approach coincided with what he had just thought, and Zhengchou couldn't remind him, but he didn't expect him to think of this method by himself.
Extinguishing fire with fire looks high-spirited. In fact, it is no secret to him who came from later generations and stood on the shoulders of countless giants. Once the fire ignites, the air is heated and rises to high altitudes, causing the air pressure at the center of the fire to be very low. The air pressure at the periphery of the fire site is A relatively high pressure that creates a strong air flow toward the fire. At this time, if a fire is set on the periphery of the fire site, the fire will be blown to the fire site by the airflow, and the combustible materials between the fire source and the fire site will be burned up, and then the fire will be extinguished due to the lack of combustible materials.
Of course, to do this, you need to clear a isolation zone in advance, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, it will be easy to backfire. This is why Guo Jing will arrange soldiers to clear the reeds in front of the camp.
Song Qingshu looked over there with some doubts. Because of his knowledge of physics and news reports in later generations, Australia often used this method to put out fires, but how could Guo Jing, an elm-headed man, come up with such a trick? ? Could it be that Huang Rong was by his side
In fact, this is purely his wild imagination. The reason why Guo Jing knew this trick is also related to his experience of herding horses and sheep on the Mongolian grassland when he was a child. Sometimes the herdsmen there would use this trick to put out the fire when they encountered grassland fires. Knowing physics, but it is also the experience accumulated and explored by the ancestors.
Taking advantage of the lack of concentration on the Jin people's side, Guo Jing led his cavalry to rush out obliquely, taking advantage of the gap created by the fire just now to forcefully break through the encirclement, and ran towards the vast mountain.
Fu San Zhongyi was angry and impatient, and hastily mobilized his troops to chase and intercept him. Dai Qisi hurried forward and said, "Guo Jing's side is only a few hundred cavalry, so why bother to mobilize so many troops and waste so much energy on this side?" Don’t forget that our most important target is still the main force of the Song army.” She received Song Qingshu’s instruction, and even though she was unwilling, she came forward to try to dispel the idea of losing loyalty.
"Marshal doesn't know something," Pu San Zhongyi explained, "We personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack hundreds of people in the Southern Song Dynasty. If we can't wipe them out, we will lose our prestige. We will no longer be able to dispatch troops and generals. The morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty was greatly boosted, and they became more ambitious in the Northern Expedition. As for the main force in Suzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, it has already collapsed thousands of miles away, so there is nothing to worry about."
Song Qingshu sighed in his heart. Now that things are up to now, Pu San Zhongyi can be described as riding a tiger, even if he wants to give up, it is impossible.
"Marshal don't have to worry." Possibly aware of Dai Qisi's strangeness, Pu San Zhongyi thought that the commander was worried about something, and explained, "Just in case, I have arranged heavy troops in advance on the main road ahead. This time Guo Jing It’s hard to fly even with wings inserted.”
After thinking along the way, Song Qingshu also gradually calmed down. It is impossible to let Guo Jing leave under the eyes of everyone, but he can be rescued after he is caught, as long as he doesn't almost die in the flames like before.
After Dai Qisi and Pu San Zhongyi finished talking, when a group of people rushed up, the soldiers in front came to report that Guo Jing had tried to break through several times, but unfortunately the way had already been blocked, so he had no choice but to lead the remnants up a hill. Use the characteristics of the mountains and forests to resist the rain of arrows from the Jinren, and at the same time occupy the condescending geographical advantage.
The Jin soldiers had organized several charges in front, but they were abruptly blocked by the opponent's bow and arrow falling stones.
After listening to the soldiers' report, Pu Sanzhongyi was not angry but happy: "This mountain is not big, and I have already surrounded it on all sides. They can't escape at last!"
Song Qingshu smiled wryly, listening to the report from the soldiers just now, this hill has no water source and no food, it can be described as a desperate place for military strategists, but Guo Jing and others are also desperate, if they don't go to this desperate place, they might die in the Under the siege of the golden soldiers, it is possible to temporarily delay the time when going up. This is what drinking poison to quench thirst is talking about.
"Pass down the order. Everyone will set up camp at the foot of the mountain. If they run out of water and food, they will soon lose their combat effectiveness." Tian Tian followed Guo Jing down and lost all kinds of soldiers. Although in his opinion, as long as he can catch Guo Jing, no amount of sacrifice is worth it, but the soldiers of the middle and lower ranks may not understand. The criticism against him will never be small.
In addition, Guo Jing just showed off the fire with fire, and the morale of the Jin army was hit a lot, so he also needs to let the soldiers slow down first. When the Song army is hungry and thirsty, the morale of the Jin army should also be reduced. The recovery is almost complete, and then the loss can be minimized.
Let's say that the Jin army was setting up camp, and the remaining dozens of Song soldiers on the mountain surrounded Guo Jing and said, "Commander Guo, we are sure to die now, your martial arts skills are world-class, let's leave alone in the dark."
After several days and nights of chasing and fighting, there are only a few dozen of the 480 cavalry left now, and many of them are seriously wounded, who may die at any time, and the rest are all wounded, and it is estimated that they will die. Can't last long.
Hearing what they said, Guo Jing's face suddenly changed: "I, Guo, am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! This kind of thing of abandoning comrades in arms is absolutely impossible for Guo."
Those soldiers persuaded: "Guo Daxia, we can't escape in this situation. In addition, we have bullied Xuzhou Jinbing's wife and daughter before. Even if we are caught, we will only be tortured to death. There is absolutely no second option." You are different, your martial arts are powerful all over the world, without us people dragging you, you can still get away through the night." They no longer refer to them as official positions, but call them Guo Daxia, which is obviously right His reputation as a chivalrous man has long been familiar to his ears and eyes, and now that life and death are at stake, any official position is just a cloud, and only respect from the bottom of his heart would make them make such a suggestion.
"Guo Daxia must not be psychologically burdened. The reason why we are in a desperate situation this time is because the martial arts doctor Chen Xiaoqing abandoned his comrades in arms. We need Guo Daxia to return to the court to expose Chen Xiaoqing's shameless behavior and avenge us, otherwise we will die with shame!" Obviously! They didn't forget who hurt them, and said one by one through gritted teeth.
"That's right, while we still have some strength, we can still cover Guo Daxia for a while. If we leave for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you."
Everyone persuaded Guo Jing one by one, Guo Jing's face sank like water, and finally said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say any more, I will never run away alone. As for Chen Xiaoqing's abandonment of his comrades, there are so many people on the battlefield. If you can't stop Youyou's mouth, sooner or later, the imperial court will avenge us."
Seeing what they wanted to say, Guo Jing took off his armor and said, "I've lost my mind, don't follow me, let me kill Marshal Jin alone!"
Hearing the determination in his tone, all the soldiers had tears in their eyes: "Hero Guo, we will go with you!"
Guo Jing shook his head and said: "No, if you go together, the goal is too big, and it is easy to be discovered by the Jin people in advance."
Hearing what he said, the soldiers couldn't say anything more, and they all looked at him with a bit of sobs, because they knew that if the other party charged into the camp alone, he might have a narrow escape, no, it should be ten deaths.
Guo Jing said in a deep voice: "If I succeed in going here by chance, the Jin army will definitely be in chaos, you must seize this opportunity to break out; if this assassination fails..."
He was silent for a long time before he said: "Then Guo will take a step first, and you gentlemen take care of yourself."
"Guo Daxia!" A group of people choked up and grabbed his arm, and several young soldiers couldn't help sobbing.
Guo Jing patted everyone's hands, turned around and walked down the mountain. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and said in a very sad tone: "Whether I succeed or fail in this trip, I think I won't be able to survive. It’s a pity that I can’t see my unborn child. If anyone is lucky enough to return to Lin’an, when I see Zhuojing in the future, tell her that I am sorry for her. After the child is born, if it is a daughter, I will name it Guo Xiang, our husband and I spent most of our time guarding Xiangyang, which can be regarded as a commemoration; if it is a son, we will name it Polu, with the intention of driving out the Tartars."
After speaking, he casually waved his hand behind him, then performed lightness kung fu and disappeared into the forest.
Let’s say that Song Qingshu was by Dai Qisi’s side, and now he was studying the strategy of attacking the mountain with Pu San Zhongyi and other senior officers in the commander’s account. Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Pu San Zhongyi was dissatisfied: “What’s so noisy!”
"General, there are... assassins!" The guard at the door replied in a panic.
"Assassin?" Pu Sanzhong laughed back in anger. This is a military camp, not a palace or a minister's mansion. It is guarded by tens of thousands of troops outside. How could there be an assassin
"Marshal and generals, please stay away, the assassins are rushing over here!" The boiling noise outside became louder, and the voices of the guards became more and more panicked.
"That's unreasonable! Is Lao Tzu's tens of thousands of troops just a display?" Pu San Zhongyi was exhausted after chasing him for the past few days, worrying that he had nowhere to spread his fire, so he drew his sword and ran out when he saw this.
When the other generals saw that the main general had gone out, they naturally did not dare to be negligent. They drew out their swords and followed them out. These people have spent their entire lives as soldiers and horses, and all of them are proficient in bows and horses. In addition, such a group of people gathered together, so they are naturally not afraid of anything in their base camp. assassin.
Song Qingshu and Dai Qisi looked at each other and followed them out.
When they came outside the camp, a group of guards had already surrounded them three times in front of everyone. From a distance, they saw a horse riding like a tiger into a pack of wolves, invincible along the way, and rushed towards this side abruptly.
Many golden soldiers along the way tried to stop him, but unfortunately, the man immediately put up his bow and arrows, and several arrows landed on the ground, and the golden soldiers who were a little closer to the horse were hacked by him with a big knife, and blood rained out one after another.
Song Qingshu's eyes were sharp, and he quickly recognized the other party's identity. Who is it if it's not Guo Jing
