Chapter 407 The Good Wind Will Send You to the Sky with Its Power! Zhu Rong’s Warm Embrace

Three hours ago.

"Jiuhua Mountain has been splashed!"

"The spraying in the Changling area has been completed!"

"Huangou Mountain..."

Messages were sent back one after another.

Judging from the scouts' footsteps, the scouts reaching Green Forest in the south and Laowu Ridge in the east should have completed their arrangements.

In other words, oil has generally surrounded the mountains within a diameter of sixty miles with the main peak of Dahong Mountain as the center. Within this range, all traces of the Chu army have been sprayed with oil!

Looking at the flag flying to the northeast in front of the Chinese army's tent, Ying Chengyu asked in a deep voice: "Has the news of Li Xin, Qiang Huai, Xin Sheng, and Yang Yu been sent back?"

Yang Hu immediately replied: "Captain Xin Sheng and Commander Yang Huan have arrived at the predetermined location and are building military camps and digging fortifications."

"The news about Captain Li Xin and Qiang Huai Division has not yet been sent back."

After two days of maneuvering, Ying Chengyu has now led the main force to block the north side of Dahong Mountain. Yang Huan's troops are on the west side of Dahong Mountain, and Xin Sheng's troops are blocking the east side of Dahong Mountain.

Only Li Xin and Qiang Huai, who were responsible for building the encirclement on the south side, had not yet received any news because they were too far away.

Ying Chengyu's hands were trembling slightly, but his eyes were still fixed on Qi Hui. But his voice was very steady: "No rush, no rush."

"Don't let your whereabouts be exposed because of your impatience!"

Yang Hu nodded and said, "Both captains are good at attacking and fighting."

"Although there are many new soldiers in the army of the two captains, based on the abilities of the two captains and their classmates, I think even if the speed is slower, they will not be violent..."

While he was talking, the flag flying to the northeast in front of the Chinese army's tent slowly lowered. After more than ten breaths, the flag turned to the southwest, half drooped, twitched, and shook off.

There was a hint of astonishment in Ying Chengyu's eyes, and he walked forward unconsciously.

After dozens of breaths, the flag no longer twitched, but stretched out toward the southwest.

The wind is also getting stronger!

Yang Hu stopped mid-sentence and said in shock:

"The wind turns to the southwest?!"

"This is autumn!"

Ying Chengyu could not help but reveal a smile:

"But this is Dahongshan!"

As early as the march, Ying Chengyu had already asked the veterans from Nanyang County in detail about the hydrology, wind direction and other weather conditions in the Dahongshan area.

Although westerly and northerly winds prevail in autumn, Dahongshan, located at the end of the Qinling Mountains, occasionally experiences southerly winds due to its topography.

On average, Dahongshan has about three days of south wind and two days of southeast or southwest wind every month in autumn!

Although the south wind direction is more favorable to the Qin army, Ying Chengyu was not prepared to take advantage of this small probability event. He made arrangements based on the north wind direction.

But today the wind blows suddenly.

If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences!

Ying Chengyu shouted: "Immediately send troops to send orders to Captain Li Xin and Captain Qiang Huai."

"No need to hide your whereabouts anymore, rush south at full speed."

"At the same time, send scouts ahead and be sure to light the oil at 21:00!"

"Instruct the Western Front to hold the northern defense line and continue to pour oil!"

"Instruct Xifeng's and Xin Sheng's troops to light the oil at the right time!"

"Instruct Captain Yang Huan's troops to move covertly to the southwest and build a position!"

"If each unit encounters the enemy, they must hold their lines, assess the enemy's strength immediately, and send a message to the Chinese army!"

"Instruct the middle and rear armies to turn to the west and target the former garrison area of ​​Yang Huan's headquarters!"

Although the fire attack does not pay attention to surrounding three towers.

But Ying Chengyu did not think that a single fire could burn the Chu army, which did not know the specific troop layout.

Ying Chengyu wants to use this fire to bring the Chu army back to the great god Zhu Rong.

Ying Chengyu will use this fire zone to guide the Chu army's march and ensure that all Chu army can return to the great god Zhu Rong!

Yang Hu excitedly raised his hands and said, "Wei!"

The messenger no longer covered himself, got on his horse and ran wildly in all directions.

After hearing the order, Li Xin showed joy: "No need to hide it?"

The messenger said solemnly: "No need to hide it!"

Li Xin smiled unconsciously: "It won't hurt even if the enemy discovers it?"

The ordering soldier cupped his hands and said: "Commander orders, let go and do what you want!"

"To be humble is to gallop forward on horseback."

The smile on Li Xin's face became even brighter.

Now there is only more than half an hour left before Rending.

It is not difficult to rush to the scheduled location to complete the ignition in such a short period of time.

However, once the fire is raised, the Chu army will move!

Leading the troops to form a defensive line before the Chu army fled out of the mountains was a difficult task for most generals.

But for Li Xin?

Just let go of the reins and he'll show you a lot of fun!

Li Xin immediately looked at Qiang Huai: "Captain Huai, our infantry will be temporarily handed over to your commander."

"Please also ask Captain Huai to hand over all the knights in your department to my command!"

Qiang Huai understood what Li Xin wanted to do.

It is nothing more than borrowing the high mobility of the knights to attack at full speed, quickly building a defense line, and using a small number of elite troops to block the enemy and buy time for the following infantry.

But Qiang Huai said in a deep voice: "I, the Qiang people, are also good at running."

The smile on Li Xin's face was firm and proud: "If I dare to issue a military order, I will complete the layout of the defense line before the Chu army arrives, and intercept the main force of the Chu army escaping to the south."

"Do you dare, Lieutenant Huai?"

The corners of Qiang Huai's mouth twitched slightly.

At present, the Qin army does not know the total strength of the Chu army deployed on the front line of Dahong Mountain.

If the Chu army pulls out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and all of them flee from the south, let alone a defense line composed of only elite knights, even if Li Xin and Qiang Huai are thrown in, they will not be able to stop them at all. Can't stop the enemy's main force!

With so little information on the battlefield, a military order was issued?

You are crazy, but I am not crazy yet!

Qiang Huai immediately handed over his hand and said, "May Captain Li win with flying flags!"

Li Xin's smile became arrogant, and he shouted loudly: "Scouts and knights of all ministries, obey the order!"

Taking the reins of the war horse from the soldiers, Li Xin turned on the horse with both hands and shouted:

"Follow me and attack!"

The war horse raised its hooves and carefully stepped on the gap between the tree roots to walk out of the jungle and onto the mountain road. Then it spread its hooves and ran towards the southwest carrying Li Xin!

Behind Li Xin, three thousand knights were chasing after him.

"quick!"

"The whole army speeds up!"

Under the leadership of Li Xin, Li Xin's troops rushed quickly.

Even if the horse sprains its foot or the knight falls, the man next to him will just take a glance at it and continue to charge forward.

When there was still half an hour before Rendezvous, Li Xin not only led his scouts to the vicinity of the Green Forest, he even brought elite knights here!

The war horse under his crotch was panting like a bellows, and foam was pouring from the corners of his mouth.

Li Xin patted the war horse on his crotch pitifully, turned over and dismounted, and shouted in a deep voice: "All knights dismount, and use the hillside to form formations to prepare for battle."

"Scout and I will leave!"

Taking a backpack from the soldier and carrying it on his back, Li Xin held a torch and led five hundred scouts into the forest.

Following the mark, he found the spot where the previous scouts had poured oil. Li Xin poured all the oil in his backpack onto the trees.

"The autumn wind is cool, so I will light a fire for you all to keep warm."

Looking in the direction of the main peak of Dahong Mountain, Li Xin raised his right hand with a arrogant smile, and a spark of fire fell to the ground:

"Great God Zhu Rong has opened his arms. Everyone, go home!"

At the same time, all five hundred scouts threw their torches like Li Xin!

"Boom~"

A large amount of oil is ignited as soon as it comes into contact with the flame.

The rising flames and heat waves caused the air to make a muffled sound.

Mountain forests are already dry in autumn, which is when wildfires are prone to occur.

Now there is oil to fuel and ignite the fire. In just a few dozen breaths, a fire snake tens of meters wide has been summoned from hell to the human world!

at the same time.

There is a fire on the north side of Dahong Mountain!

There is a fire on the east side of Dahong Mountain!

Ying Chengyu, who had just led his army to the west side of Dahong Mountain, looked at the stars of fire in the distance and stretched out his right hand.

With the palm of his hand holding the wind in the shape, Ying Chengyu finally showed a relaxed smile:

"The good wind will send you to the sky with its power!"

…

Although they are dozens of miles apart, Ying Chengyu and Jingchou, the father-in-law and son-in-law, are 'appreciating' a ball of flame together.

It's a pity that Jingchou's mood is completely opposite to that of Ying Chengyu!

Jingchou shouted anxiously: "Where did your troops discover the Qin army?"

The scout quickly responded: "North of Dahong Mountain, five miles south of Pinglin Township!"

"Looking at its size, the number of people is no less than 100,000."

"Other robes are exploring the enemy's strength. Our troops will return first to report the enemy's movements!"

Jingchou quickly sketched in his mind the location where the scouts discovered the Qin army.

There is a plain area in the north of Dahong Mountain.

If there were not these mountain fires, Jingchou would expect the Qin army to continue turning northwest along Pinglin Township and walk into the mountain road between Dahong Mountain and Qinling Mountains.

But unfortunately, there is no if.

The Chu army has been hiding here for more than half a month, and the soldiers of all departments should have adapted to hiding.

But tonight, several flames rose up, and the Qin army happened to be discovered in the north!

How could this be a coincidence!

Xiang Rong looked beyond the firelight towards the night in the distance, clenching his teeth and saying: "Jun Chang'an, you are not a gentleman, you actually set fire to the mountain!"

"How could he do such a sinister and cruel act!"

"Isn't he afraid of the censure of heaven and earth and the loss of his yang, longevity and yin virtues?"

As Xiang Rong watched, the fires lighting up in the south were not only increasing rapidly, but each fire was also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just a few dozen breaths, several flames had spread to the left and right, forming wildly growing fire snakes!

Jingchou's face became increasingly ugly: "The Qin army has a thing called oil."

"This thing is very good at igniting fire, and it severely damaged our army last year."

"Since Lord Chang'an has decided to set the mountain on fire tonight, he will not give up such a sharp weapon."

"The fire will spread extremely quickly!"

"Instruct the whole army to abandon all their baggage and take only dry food, armor, and weapons with them, and turn to the north..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jingchou saw a fire light up in the north.

Although the fire is far less powerful than in the south, it still has the potential to start a prairie fire.

Jingchou had to turn around and said: "Dong..."

However, before he finished speaking, Jingchou saw that fire snakes had lit up in the east that were not inferior to those in the south!

What about the West?

Jingchou looked to the west with hope.

This time, he was greeted by a pitch black night!

There is no fire in the West!
