Chapter 397

Time passed little by little.

Three poles in the sun.

The sunshine of early winter falls on the dry forest, making the forest brighter.

Xiao Qingzhi, Gu Tong and others who were ambushing in the mountains were not affected by anything.A group of people continued to hide in the mountains.It didn't take long, and looking out from the mountain to the mountain road, we could see Mo Bao and his party leading the army.

Some soldiers even came to report to Xiao Qingzhi.

Xiao Qingzhi ordered the soldiers to keep watching.

Everyone, wait quietly.

As the distance got closer, the team led by Mo Bao quickly entered the Xipingpo area and hurried on their way in the forest.

The roads in the mountains are not wide, they are all mountain roads.The entire team is huge, so many soldiers, the team has been stretched, and began to diverge to both sides, walking directly in the withered grass forest.

Xiao Qingzhi saw all this in his eyes, and there was a sparkle in his eyes.

The opportunity has come.

He has not ordered an attack for the time being, and is still waiting quietly.

Not long after, all Mo Bao soldiers entered Xipingpo.

Xiao Qingzhi stood up and ordered decisively: "Order, all soldiers light the fire."

"Yes!"

The orderly ordered to go down immediately.

"call out!"

A loud arrow lifted into the sky, and there was a sharp sound in the air.After the sound came out, the soldiers of Langya Kingdom who were buried in the forest started to move quickly.

Soldiers one by one started fire directly in the Xipingpo forest.

Fire attack is Xiao Qingzhi's strategy.

For other places, it is not easy to succeed in November weather.

After all, November is prone to rain.

It was November this year. It had never rained and the weather was dry. In addition, Xiao Qingzhi observed the situation in Xipingpo. For many years, no one came to deal with it, and no one came to collect firewood. The mountains were full of dead branches and leaves. Dry grass is everywhere.

Such a place is enough to start a fire.

The most critical point is that Xipingpo is in the wind.Even now, there are gusts of wind blowing.Once the fire is ignited and the wind blows, the fire will continue to spread.

With the soldiers around, they lit the fire with dry wormwood and poured kerosene, and the fire quickly burned.

When the wind blows, it spreads quickly.

Fires were burning everywhere, whistling, and billowing thick smoke filled the mountains.

Mo Bao was leading the soldiers on their way, when he suddenly found fires burning around him, he was shocked.

"It's been tricked, there's an ambush."

Mo Bao's heart was flustered for a moment, but he was a veteran on the battlefield after all, his eyes were solemn, and he quickly ordered: "Come on, kill me."

In this situation, no matter what, we cannot retreat.

Once retreating, the food is gone, and it is difficult to gain a foothold when returning to the army.

We can only break through the siege first, destroy the army in front, and regain the food.It will not be too late to return to the army after the fire is extinguished.

Mo Bao led the soldiers to rush forward, but unfortunately the fire in the mountain burned and spread quickly.Although the soldiers at the front were getting closer and closer to the exit of Xipingpo, the soldiers at the rear, because of the wide divergence, began to be roasted by the fire and fell into the sea of ​​flames.

Mo Bao was anxious, and ordered again: "Speed ​​up, speed up and rush out!"

He himself even rode forward.

When Mo Bao approached the exit, his pupils suddenly shrank.Outside the exit of Xipingpo, an army appeared on the official road ahead.

This large army, lined up as a whole, mainly pikemen, formed a defensive formation and blocked the way out.

Its intention was to block Mo Bao in the mountains.

The leader is Xia Houhu.

Mo Bao was anxious, with a strong killing intent, and shouted: "Boys, today is the battle for life and death, get out!"

The soldiers under his command sprinted quickly.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The armies of the two sides walked towards each other, and within a short time, they met together.

Xia Houhu kicked the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out to meet him.When he encountered a soldier, he smashed it down with a hammer, killed the soldier, and rushed into the enemy's line of defense.

The pikemen under Xia Houhu's command stepped forward, and the two sides met each other. The spears stabbed out, only to hear the sound of puffing and puffing, and the pikes pierced into the bodies of the soldiers under Mo Bao's command one by one.

Xia Houhu was even more violent.

He was in the enemy camp, beating drums, urns, golden hammers and sweeping across, and a group of people fell down.

There is no match for the hammer.

"Kill me, kill me!"

Xia Houhu kept giving orders.

His current intention is to stop Mo Bao's army.Even if Mo Bao has a large number of people, as long as there is a little delay, these people will be blocked in the mountains.

Xia Houhu kept charging back and forth, and there were spearmen, forming a defensive formation, blocking a large number of Mo Bao soldiers in the forest, and it was impossible to break out in a short time.

Mo Bao panicked even more.

very nervous.

How to do?

Now it is blocked in the mountains, but in the west flat slope, fires are burning everywhere.

Although there are many areas around, there is no fire yet, the problem is that they are surrounded by flames.The fire continued to spread, and they had nowhere to hide.

Once caught in a sea of ​​fire, the casualties will be even greater.

Mo Bao commanded the soldiers to break out of the encirclement, but they broke out several times in a row, but they were all blocked and could not break out temporarily.

Mo Bao said: "Mr. Wang, what should we do?"

Wang Daohan gritted his teeth and said quickly: "General Mo, we can only retreat and retreat to the rear. In the situation ahead, there are obviously many enemies, and we cannot break through. Although the sea of ​​fire is still there, it has not yet closed, and the road in Xipingpo If there is no sea of ​​fire, we retreat directly. As long as we return to the barracks, we still have a chance."

When Mo Bao heard this, he backed away and glanced at the raging fires burning all over the mountain.

Frowning.

kill back?

What bullshit advice is this.

Now to fight back, he had to go through the mountains, even though the sea of ​​fire hadn't come over yet.But running again from the mountains, there will be more soldiers killed and injured, which Mo Bao is not happy about.

Wang Daohan said again: "General Mo, if we can break out of the siege, we will have no problem and don't need to evacuate. Look at the periphery of Xipingpo, there are too many enemies. Moreover, the people outside the mountain are fighting the enemy with long spears. It is too difficult to fight out. Difficult. It is extremely inappropriate to retreat now, but it can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, there is no other choice."

Mo Bao was very depressed.

A dead horse is a living horse doctor.

Now, he can only be like this, there is no more choice.

Mo Bao took a deep breath and ordered: "Retreat, let's retreat and return to the barracks."

The orderly passed on immediately.

The army quickly turned around, no longer broke out, and retreated along the original road.

There are fires burning all over the mountain, but the area where the fire spreads is mainly in places where there are wormwood and dead branches of trees. The center of the road is relatively clean because there are often people coming and going, without dead grass and dead branches.

The army retreated now and became a long snake. All the soldiers rushed to hide in the center of the road to avoid being attacked by the surrounding fire.

Even so, some soldiers were squeezed out and engulfed in nearby flames.

This is impossible.

There are always people who can't walk in the middle.

Chapter 398

The army led by Mo Bao quickly broke through and disappeared at the exit of Xipingpo in a short time.

Seeing this scene, Xia Houhu smiled brightly.

Want to go back, how can it be so easy?

Xia Houhu didn't order the pursuit for the time being. After all, the fire was still burning, which was not conducive to the pursuit.He led the soldiers under his command and stationed outside Xipingpo Mountain to prevent anyone from escaping.

On the other side, the army led by Xiao Qingzhi also stood ready.

He waited quietly.

The fight didn't take long, less than a quarter of an hour, he found that there were countless soldiers rushing towards Xipingpo Mountain.Because a large area in the mountain has already burned.

That is, the center of the official road in Xipingpo Mountain, which has not been attacked by the fire.

So Mo Bao's soldiers quickly retreated.

When Xiao Qingzhi saw the opponent coming, he was outside the entrance and mobilized spearmen and archers to prepare.When Mo Bao's soldiers approached the entrance of the mountain forest, densely packed bows and arrows rushed towards them.

"Puchi! Puchi!!"

Bows and arrows kept falling into the crowd, shooting and killing Mo Bao's soldiers one by one.

Mo Bao was also in the crowd.

He led the soldiers on the way quickly, and saw many people blocking the way at the entrance of Xipingpo, his heart sank.

The situation is not good!

The situation he is facing right now is really too bad.

Mo Bao was disappointed, but he couldn't stop the situation until now, so he could only order the soldiers under his command to continue to break through.At this point, we must not turn around and retreat again.

If you stay in the mountains, even if you don't get burned to death by the fire, you will be in a mess.

Especially with the large number of people under Mo Bao's command, it is impossible for everyone to be in an area that will not be burned by the fire, and will always be affected.

Must break through.

"kill!"

Mo Bao shouted the order.

At this time, he quickly broke through with his personal guards.

Mo Bao led his personal guards to break through, and the soldiers under his command also broke out, but they encountered spearmen outside the forest.A large number of soldiers were stabbed and killed on the spot as soon as they rushed out.

Even if a few soldiers broke out, most of them were stopped.

Mo Bao himself is good at martial arts, and his personal guards are also brave, so when he met the pikemen, after fighting for a while, he still broke through the defense line and was about to fight out.

Xiao Qingzhi led the battle.

As far as he could see, he saw the situation of Mo Bao and his party.

The rest of the soldiers under Mo Bao's command had never been surrounded by so many personal guards.But around Mo Bao, there were personal guards one by one, guarding Mo Bao's safety, obviously he was a general.

Xiao Qingzhi didn't know Mo Bao, but he found that the other party's identity was unusual, so he would not let him leave.

He ordered: "Gu Tong, come with me and stop the opponent's general."
