Something like a fire oil barrel actually appeared on the green grassland!
Yan Chi's eyes were fixed, and he immediately looked to the west, "Bai Feng! Take someone to chase immediately! This fire was intentionally caused by someone!"
With an order, Bai Feng immediately stepped forward, leading a hundred people towards the west in a short time, but at this moment, the team behind him let out a scream, and saw a burst of flames soaring into the sky in the southwest direction of everyone. Get up!
The fire started a step slower, but then the southwest wind was spreading rapidly towards Yan Chi's side!
Yan Chi frowned, and Xiao Cheng said, "Who did this?! Only you know our defenses. They chose to set fire to these two places in order to disrupt our formation and cut off our escape route. Your Highness, can we do it now?" What should I do?!"
Chu Feicheng took another step forward, "Your Highness, I'm afraid they will come to us in less than a stick of incense! We need to go further west!"
If you don't avoid it, the two fires will be connected into one piece. The green grassland is covered with withered grass and overgrown bushes. The fire is almost a thousand miles away. Yan Chi knows that this time he was stabbed in the back, so let's not think about it right now. Whoever made the move was only thinking about how to break the situation.
"If you go west, you have to detour too far. It will be more difficult to go when the two fire scenes are connected in one place. It is better to go east!"
Yan Chi immediately made a decision, and Chu Feicheng hurriedly said, "There are still Rongman in the east—"
To the east is Luofengpo. If they pass like this, they are very likely to be attacked by the fire and at the same time encounter the retreating Rongman.
Yan Chi frowned when he heard this, "It's just right, now that we are separated by the fire, we can't reinforce Gu Ling and Yu Qi, so we might as well go east to meet the enemy!"
Chu Feicheng understood that Yan Chi was going to take the risk to save Gu Ling and Yu Qi!
Chu Feicheng took a deep breath, "Okay, then listen to Your Highness!"
In this way, a decision was made, and the flag bearer was asked to wave the wolf-patterned army flag. All the Shuoxi troops rushed towards the east. There was fire in front and fire in the back. Avoid, the word avoid never appears in Yanchi's dictionary!
Speeding all the way, not long after, the ash brought by the night wind was very pungent, and many sparks drifted far away with the night wind. After a while, the meadow where the Shuoxi army was marching also caught fire little by little. , Such a wilderness is actually more burning than the mountains and forests, even so, none of the remaining 40,000 troops is behind, and their team is still neat and capable, even if they are about to face an army that outnumbers them quite!
Chu Feicheng's estimate was correct, they walked northeastward for less than five miles and ran into Rongman who was retreating!
Some people had just descended from Luofengpo, and some were still in the army. Facing the sudden appearance of the Shuoxi army, these barbarians also panicked. Those who were close had no choice but to fight, while those who were far away were heading towards the front. Fleeing in the direction of the troops, Yan Chi cut off the Yirong's left arm with a shot, and shouted, "Kill them all!"
The night was originally dark, but the flames pouring from the sky in the west made the entire green grassland bright red with blood. The fire was reflected in Yan Chi's eyes, and he saw blood flying across the sky. In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers were killed in his hands. , the enemy's blood fell between his brows and eyes, adding a more ruthless and fierce meaning, as if the devil king descended into the world, it is frightening!
Seeing that Yan Chi was like killing a god, Chu Feicheng and Xiao Cheng also became more and more courageous in the battle, and all the soldiers of the Shuoxi Army were also encouraged. In addition, they attacked suddenly, so Rongman was killed in the first place. However, this is only the last small army of the Rongman.
Yan Chi charged forward and led everyone to chase north. Soon, Yan Chi saw the large army of Rongman.
At a glance, they were densely packed with soldiers and barbarians. They were not retreating as fast as Yan Chi imagined, as if they were about to retreat, but were attracted by something, and then stopped. Although the last team did not show any fighting spirit, Yan Chi Chi could see clearly that the first half of the entire army of barbarians had already started fighting, but as for who to fight with, it was almost self-evident! Yan Chi's eyes turned blood red instantly, and he swung his spear, "Yu Qi and Gu Ling are right in front, kill—"
The flag bearer quickly waved the flag, and for a moment, all the Jiangs of the Shuoxi army rushed towards Rongman!
In the sky full of flames, the soldiers of Shuoxi seemed to break out of their cages like leopards that had been dormant for a long time. However, Rong Man, who had already noticed that something was wrong behind him, quickly reacted. The wilderness was illuminated by the flames. The rush was not an advantage for the Shuoxi army, and soon, casualties appeared.
One after another, the Shuoxi army lost to Rong Man's ruthlessness, and Rong Man also fell at almost the same speed!
There are bound to be casualties in wars, but Yan Chi cherishes soldiers and never leads his soldiers on rampage outside of the White Wolf Pass. Today, the three armies joined forces to decide on a strategy to outwit them, but now, two strange battles However, the fire caused the Shuoxi army to fall into an unprecedented crisis!
There was already a sea of flames behind Shuoxi's army, and the southwest wind even sent the fire to the foot of Luofengpo. The back of the army was approaching, but the advance speed of the Shuoxi army was not fast. Not only that, Yan Chi was even more worried about Yu Qi and Gu Ling in front. He still had 40,000 horses here, but Yu Qi and Gu Ling only had one Thousands of horses, how do they resist the enemy? !
Thinking of this in his heart, Yan Chi let out a roar in his throat, and lifted a six-foot-tall Rong man into the air with another shot. Galloping and flying, sometimes entering the enemy's formation to fight, and sometimes Cong Chi rescued the soldiers in danger. His armor was stained with blood, and the safety talisman that Qin Wan had placed on his chest before his arrival was also wet. Yan Chi gradually became numb from the killing. Turning a deaf ear to the sound of silver guns smashing flesh and bones, he just kept killing the enemies around him, sending out military orders one after another. The change of formation allowed Shuoxi's army to avoid many unnecessary casualties, but Yan Chi still didn't See the shadows of Yu Qi and the others!
There seemed to be more than 60,000 people separated from them, Yan Chi only felt that this fight was endless!
"Your Highness! The fire behind us is only half a mile away from us!"
Xiao Cheng yelled, and Chu Feicheng cursed upon hearing the words, "Which son of a bitch made us so obscene?! Brothers who died today will all be blamed on this bastard!"
Yan Chi's eyes were extremely cold, reflecting blood and fire, and there was a kind of frightening ferocity. Without saying a word, he just shot another man's neck, and that shot broke the neck of that man's neck. pulse, hot blood sprayed Yan Chi all over, but his brows never trembled!
It's not that Yan Chi is not angry, but when he is extremely angry, it is difficult to express it in words.
His anger is on the tip of his spear.
"Quick battle!" Yan Chi yelled two words, and stabbed the next person!
Yan Chi didn't know how many people he had killed, but he knew that at a certain moment he realized that there was no one around him to kill, so he charged forward again.
He has not experienced such a deadly battle for many years. An indescribable anger fermented in his heart. This feeling of being betrayed, being calculated, knowing that his soldiers fell one by one but being powerless, made the bloodthirsty in his bones They were all agitated, even though he had killed countless people, but the anger didn't seem to decrease in the slightest!
"Your Highness! The army's vanguard is in disarray, and they are retreating north!"
Rong Man actually wanted to retreat! Yan Chi's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "Keep chasing!"
The vanguard of the Rong Man began to retreat, and the Rong people who were still fighting behind were naturally panicked. With this panic, the advantage of the Shuoxi Army was even greater, and the speed of the Shuoxi Army's advance was accelerating. After a while, the visible ground knelt down. It was full of barbarians throwing their knives and surrendering, but Yan Chi looked around on the horseback, but he didn't see where Yu Qi and Gu Ling were!
At this moment, Xiao Cheng grabbed a Rong who could speak Zhou dialect and walked over!
"Your Highness! This person said that Yu Qi and the others were defeated!"
The person Xiao Cheng grabbed had a sly smile on his face, many people were kneeling here, but there were also a few barbarians who wouldn't even kneel down!
These people hated the Zhou people so much that they would rather die here than surrender.
The man saw Yan Chi's noble status, and said in an unruly tone with some accents, "Hahahaha, what Shuoxi Army is nothing more than that, if we hadn't been raided by you, we would have cut off the ears of all ten thousand of you …”
As he spoke, the man shook his sleeves, and saw more than a dozen bloody people's ears fell to the ground!
The pupils of the people around trembled slightly, and they all knew what this meant.
The Rong people like to cut off the enemy's ears as trophies, and the one who cuts off the most ears will be regarded as a warrior by the entire army!
Yan Chi looked at this person's proud look, and asked coldly, "Where are they?"
Hearing this, the Rong man laughed even louder, "Where? Hahahaha, where are they—"
He raised his hand and pointed, but he pointed to the sea of flames southwest of Yan Chi.
Yan Chi's body suddenly stopped moving. The place the man was pointing at was three miles north of the place where Gu Ling and Yu Qi first ambush. According to the deduction of Rong Man going down the mountain to the north and the time when the fire started, when the fire started, They are afraid that they have just come here.
The fire started to the south of them. When the fire came together, they would be exposed if they wanted to retreat, and the Rong people in front of them could not miss such an opportunity.
60,000 horses against 10,000 is simply an overwhelming advantage, not to mention that there is a wildfire behind them.
Yan Chi looked at the sea of flames and didn't speak for a long time.
At this moment, Chu Feicheng galloped over from the west panting heavily, "Your Highness! I can't find it, I didn't see Gu Ling and Yu Qi, they must have retreated to the west!"
There was a fire behind, and the enemy was in front. If there was any chance, the only hope was to take advantage of Rongman's failure to find out. Yu Qi and Gu Ling quickly made a decision to give up this battle and go directly to the west, but Yu Qi and Gu Ling Will it be someone who resolutely abandons the battle? After Rong Man's losing streak, it was time to be angry, so how could he give them a chance
After Chu Feicheng finished speaking, seeing that Yan Chi had nothing to say, he looked at Xiao Cheng, but saw that Xiao Cheng was a six-foot-tall man with red eyes and froze there. Putting his thighs together, "What is this?! Your Highness, the wind has calmed down now! Shall we continue to chase or go to Gu Ling and the others?"
Yan Chi glanced at the tassel above the spear, and realized that the tassel really hadn't moved.
The wind has lightened, but it's too late...
Yan Chi's face was covered with blood, Chu Feicheng couldn't see his expression, but for a moment, he felt that Yan Chi, who was sitting on the horseback, was pressed heavily by something, and his shoulders were bent a bit. , he hesitated to speak, but heard Yan Chi say suddenly.
"Don't chase, wait."
Chu Feicheng didn't understand for a while, "What are you waiting for?"
He looked at Yan Chi, then at Xiao Cheng, and finally felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the Rong man laughed again. He picked up a bloody ear on the ground and said, "This is the ear of your great general. I can't tell which is which. Let's take it as this one. Oh, and this…”
The Rong man took out a wine jug from his body, and his smile became more and more insolent.
"He killed dozens of our brothers, and in the end he was hacked to death by one of us, and he took revenge..."
When Chu Feicheng saw the silver jug, his eyes were about to burst, "What are you talking about! This is—"
Chu Feicheng got off his horse and snatched the flagon away!
He took a closer look, then looked up at Xiao Cheng, "This is Yu Xiaoqi's stuff!"
Xiao Cheng didn't speak, but his eyes turned redder for a moment. Chu Feicheng looked at Xiao Cheng, then at Yan Chi, and suddenly understood the situation. His face suddenly became angry, and he stepped forward and grabbed the girl. The collar of the man's clothes, and shouted, "Say! Where is this man now?! Even if he is dead! I want to know where he died!"
The Rong man was frightened by Chu Feicheng's anger, stopped smiling and pointed at the sea of flames, "There! It's there! Originally they could still fight, but the fire came and helped us. The fire came too fast, and we They walked fast, but a few people were left behind..."
Chu Feicheng roared angrily, "I'll kill you bastard—"
While speaking, he punched the man in the face, and threw him away. Chu Feicheng was really angry, and he drew out the long knife at his waist to chop him, but just as he raised his hand, he seemed to be scrupulous Turning his eyes to look at Yan Chi, Yan Chi was still looking in the direction of the sea of fire, and said, "All the prisoners of war, not one will be left, and sacrifice the flags for our Shuoxi Army officers and men."
Yan Chi's voice was very calm, but this calmness was like an impenetrable web, until the oppressed people could not breathe!
Chu Feicheng followed his heart, let out an angry roar, and killed the most arrogant person with one blow. Xiao Cheng regained his composure, and with his red eyes, he killed the other prisoners of war one by one. The wolf-patterned flag also reflected Yan Chi's desolate eyes. The Shuoxi army still won this battle, but Yan Chi's heart ached for the victor.
The wind weakened, and the fire on the field could not last long. Within an hour, the wormwood shrubs were burnt, and the scorched earth was exposed. At this time, a blue sky appeared through the night, and the sky was about to dawn.
Yan Chi rode his horse to the southwest, the horse's hooves raised waves of black ash, and suddenly, Yan Chi reined in the horse sharply.
As far as he could see, charred corpses still wearing Shuoxi army armor curled up on the ground in various postures.
Some of them had steel knives stuck in their bodies, some had incomplete limbs, some crawled on their companions as if they were protecting their brothers, some curled up together, as if they could still see the pain of being burned alive...
As the morning breeze blew across Yan Chi's body, his whole body was chilled, and his heart was bleeding even more.
Shuoxi's army won this battle, but he lost!
He had never had such a fiasco!
Yan Chi looked at the endless scorched field, and he just looked at it, even starting from the nearest charred corpse, and traced it one by one, as if he was distinguishing who the charred corpse was beyond recognition. It also seems to want to deeply remember everyone lying here in the bottom of my heart.
The faces of many people appeared page by page in his mind as if reading a script.
The faces of these people are smiling and lively, and they don't match up with the charred corpses in front of them.
Yan Chi stared at it for an indeterminate amount of time, until the sockets of his eyes began to feel sour, and something wet was about to overflow...
Suddenly, his pupils shrank as if being pricked by needles, and he turned his head abruptly.
On the scorched earth with Yu Wen, more and more deep weeping sounded, and gradually, some people couldn't help crying. These Shuoxierlang who are used to wars have already sent away one after another. Brother, they have already cultivated their will of steel, and they have never cried so much for war casualties like they are now.
The cries continued one after another, like an elegy to send the brothers to the underworld, and the sky that had exposed the morning sun also darkened at this time, and the wind picked up again, but it carried a refreshing chill. The sky fell, and amidst the rolling thunder, bean-sized raindrops fell down like cats and dogs.
The raindrops wet the faces of every soldier, as if God was weeping for the dead Shuo Xierlang.
