Chapter 853 The fire burning the forest is shocking(1/2)
The rest of the soldiers were panicked. Seeing that the surroundings were so dark and the battle was unfavorable, they dared to fight again. They lost their weapons and didn't care about anything. They turned around and ran back! In a hurry, they were hit by countless fatal shots from the darkness.
Some were hit by arrows and died on the spot!
Like this one, it's like waiting for the rabbit, but there are really pioneers who come to kill you.
Mi Heng said to Zhao Yun: "Now, right away, we need to strike first! Otherwise these people will lose their money and Yuan Shang will attack with fire! The general must issue an order immediately!"
Zhao Yun nodded to him with confidence and said: "Prepare the torch, prepare the kerosene, and put the powder bag on first!"
The generals did not take any action against the people who came into the forest. They only followed Zhao Yun's side and listened to orders at any time. As soon as they heard the military order, they immediately took action without any nonsense and were ready immediately!
Zhao Yun looked at the sky outside the forest. He couldn't see clearly even in the dark, but he had already figured out the direction.
It is impossible for half a truck of powder to cause too much damage to Yuan Jun. However, it is enough to make them disorderly.
If you want to break through, you must break through these torn holes.
Once he entered the warrior state, he was very alert, his eyes were like a falcon, and he asked the scout: "...where is the general direction of the Yuan camp?!"
The scout listened quietly to the movement on the ground, put his ear to the ground, listened for a long time, and said: "...there are camps in the northwest, but they are scattered. I may not be able to completely determine their specific locations. If you want to find out, you need to go to the extreme.
Close!"
"No," Zhao Yun said, "If you go here, you will definitely die!"
The people in the scout camp said: "In order to win a battle, we will not hesitate to die!"
"Failure to win a battle may not affect the overall situation. Your death may not necessarily lead to victory. There is no need for meaningless sacrifices," Zhao Yundao.
The people in the scout camp followed orders.
Zhao Yun and Lu Xian are people who cherish their soldiers very much. Unless it is really a matter of life and death, they are not willing to take human lives to fill the war. Even if they lose now, it may not affect the overall strategic considerations. Therefore, although this battle is
Important, but not important enough to affect the strategy, so we cannot ignore the life of the sergeant so much!
No matter how sophisticated your tactics are, even if you win every battle, you may not be able to win. Just like Xiang Yu.
And winning people's hearts is the real victory.
Mi Heng looked at Zhao Yun and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. This feeling may have been just an indifferent thing in military books before, but now it has become concrete.
He suddenly understood why Xuzhou Lu Xian, a woman, could win people's hearts so much.
That’s how it is!
From the moment she places great importance on people, from the time she is willing to value everyone instead of treating them as pawns or tools, she has won people's hearts and made them follow and trust her wholeheartedly.
This is the power of faith, this is also the power of the human heart. This is what a leader should look like!
Mi Heng suddenly let go of years of paranoia over this very small matter.
Even though Lu Xian will have to make some people sacrifice in the future, her cherishing heart is enough to make everyone in the world respect her.
"Is it possible to determine the approximate distance?!" Zhao Yundao said.
Humanity from the scout camp said: "Considering the influence of wind speed and snow on the judgment, and eliminating these interferences, we can make a preliminary judgment that the battalions are scattered between two and a half miles and three miles. They are basically concentrated in this direction!"
"Can you hear me clearly?!" Zhao Yundao said: "Lock this range and sprinkle powder first!"
The soldiers couldn't wait and immediately obeyed the order!
Mi Heng saw Zhao Yun frowning and said, "Don't worry! If you can fight, go out to the forest to fight. If you can't fight, retreat immediately! Don't be obsessed with fighting!"
After all, Yuan Jun is huge, so he must not fight to the death in a situation where both sides are likely to suffer losses. This is because they can easily catch fire in the woods. If they rush forward greedily, they may be blocked by fire.
p>
Therefore, it is up to Zhao Yun to determine this speed.
Mi Heng is a more radical person. He is a radical person to begin with. But Zhao Yun is extremely calm. So calm that sometimes, even if there is success and profit in front of him, he will calmly and calmly calculate the overall situation and never go crazy.
Consider the consequences! As long as Zhao Yun explains to him that there is no need to fight to the death, Zhao Yun will make a decision, and there is no need to ask anyone to remind him a second time.
Mi Heng thinks it's quite worry-free. It's better than those people who bother you even though they've tried to persuade you a hundred times and won't listen to you.
The front was frustrated, but the rear did not advance further. Originally, they wanted to meet the people who entered the forest. However, when they saw that no one came out, the expressions of the infantry behind changed. Seeing that the situation was not going well, they did not hesitate and retreated immediately.
He reported back to Yuan Shang: "The enemy has an ambush in the forest, and they can't get in but can't get out!"
"Enter but not exit?!" Yuan Shang said: "Prepare a fire attack!"
The generals were about to respond, but suddenly they heard a bang in the sky, which startled everyone, and the horses were so frightened that they neighed.
"Quiet!" A soldier yelled, "Go and find out the situation!"
Some soldiers responded and went to the sky not far away to check.
Before I could return, I heard several consecutive banging sounds coming from different directions. I looked up but couldn't see what was happening in the sky.
I wanted to say that the thunder on the ground might be ominous and a warning from the sky. However, the sky was so dark that it was difficult to see what was going on, so no one dared to say anything ominous at this time!
Who dares to say?! Who dares to say is the curse of the army.
But I guessed that there might be some association with ghosts and gods, at least at this time, I didn't dare to say it to affect the morale of the soldiers. But the sergeants couldn't think so much, and they were already frightened!
Before Yuan Shang could get angry, he heard a bang above his head. He was startled and looked up, but couldn't see anything clearly!
Some of the sergeants stretched out their hands and said: "...What is this?! Something seems to have fallen..."
"Is it snowing, or is it the sound of hail?!" a soldier muttered.
Before the sound fell, I saw something powder falling on the torch, making a chirping sound, making the fire even bigger, like jumping and dancing. When the wind blew, the wind took on strange shapes. Yuan Shang saw it.
My eyelids twitched and my heart trembled.
A sergeant took it and said: "...it seems to be black, not snow..."
"What is it if it's not snow?!" Some soldiers scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"
The sergeant hurriedly tried to hide his hand, but he touched the fire in a hurry, and unexpectedly it ignited. He was startled, and immediately began to throw it away in a hurry, and started shouting, "This thing can burn, help me..."
p>
The sergeants around him retreated in fright, and their horses neighed. When people crowded in, the torches burned a lot of things, and some sergeants' hair and eyebrows were burned...
Yuan Shang had never seen such a situation before. He was shocked, but still said angrily: "...Don't move around, any offenders will be killed!"
Fortunately, the fire was not big, just flammable, and they were quickly extinguished!
However, before the troops could recover from it and respond, they heard something thrown from the sky and hit it with a bang...
However, this time, it was different from before. Someone shouted: "...Oops, it's kerosene, kerosene! Get out, get out!"
When this sound comes out, who is not shocked and who is not afraid!?
The officers and men hurriedly began to arrange for the battalions to retreat, and shouted out military orders, saying: "... disperse, if there is a fire, concentrate on putting out the fire! Hurry!"
Yuan Shang was also shocked. His personal army began to escort him to a safe position. The counselors were panting and said: "...They are repeating their old plan. Although I don't know what kind of strange silver skills they used, our army
We must fight back, otherwise once the morale of the army is dispersed, it will be completely defeated! Don't be afraid of this fire! It is controllable! Please also ask the general to issue an attack order!"
Yuan Shang also had the same intention. The matter had reached a critical point and he could no longer hesitate. Therefore, he hurriedly issued a military order and said: "...Trebuchet counterattack! Immediately!"
"Listen to the order from the military camp and disperse immediately to avoid the fire! You can prepare a mobile counterattack!" Yuan Shang shouted.
The generals obeyed the orders and were very capable of action. After reacting, they immediately started to disperse quickly with their troops, and the trebuchets also began to throw kerosene into the forest. The kerosene was thrown first, and then the rockets were fired.<
/p>
Therefore, fires broke out everywhere in the forest.
The kerosene thrown at them still did not stop, and the rockets did not necessarily stop either. Some of the rockets happened to land on Yuan Jun's trebuchet. There was kerosene on the trebuchet, and it burned instantly, causing countless casualties.
Yuan Jun immediately dispersed the trebuchets to avoid being hit and paralyzing all the trebuchets at the same time.
There were fires everywhere in Yuan Jun's place. Precisely because the fires were getting bigger and bigger, the night was like daylight, which made Zhao Yun more sure of Yuan Jun's position. He immediately adjusted his position and began to accurately throw fire oil and rockets.<
/p>
There were flames of war everywhere, and there were casualties everywhere. The sergeants kept evacuating to places with less fire, or running to areas without fire, so it was a mess, and they had to prepare for evasion and counterattack, which was very hurried.
Yuan Shang was protected by people from the military camp and rode to a place where there was no fire.
The fire was so bright that you could see the trajectory of Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses.
Yuan Shang immediately gave the order to accurately throw fuel in their direction. Yuan Jun's fuel was well prepared, at least much more than what Zhao Yun had prepared. There was nothing left on Zhao Yun's side, but Yuan Jun's side was still fully prepared.
Soon the counterattack began, and many places in the woods were ignited. Although it was a winter night, the fire was not as strong as in autumn, but the wind and the forest helped it. However, once it started burning trees, it would only take a moment for a bunch of trees to burst into flames!
Therefore, Zhao Yun could not wait for Yuan Jun to enter the forest and could only retreat immediately!
He didn't hesitate, and when he saw that the enemy's force was overwhelming his own, he immediately began to retreat.
Although I was a little regretful that I did not wait until Yuan's army entered the forest for a large-scale battle, nor did I have the opportunity to go out of the forest to sneak attack Yuan Shang, but the fire had started, and in desperation, I had no choice but to retreat!
He immediately led the people across the creek without hesitation, followed the felled trail, and retreated without looking back.
Although this road is secretive, it will eventually lead out of the woods. No matter how deep the woods are, there is an end. When coming out, they happened to encounter Yuan Jun's horse who had circled to the rear. There were only two battalions of men and horses. Although there were not many, Zhao Yun was not eager to fight.
, led his men to repel them, and beheaded their leader. After killing the disoriented Yuan army, he did not kill them all and continued the pursuit, but led his men to retreat quickly in an orderly manner.
, running away like a rabbit.
After running all the way, until the fire gradually disappeared, Mi Heng stopped and observed the enemy's situation.
