Everyone was following Ning Fan's method, and the soldiers on both sides quickly ignited the woods. The wind helped the fire, and the flames quickly rose into the sky in just two or three minutes. The cavalry in the distance saw the fire burning here. There was a blazing flame, and he suddenly became a little panicked.

Obviously, these cavalry also knew the consequences of the fire in the woods, but they were not willing to give up the attack.

Because the information they had received before was that there was definitely a big fish in this team, and Dakang's coach was probably in this team.

The target of these people's assassination was Xiao Chong, but they didn't know that Ning Fan, the Emperor of Dakang, was also in this team. If they knew that Ning Fan was also in this team, they would probably rush forward regardless of the cost.

The raging fire spread, and soon the smoke filled the surrounding area. As far as Ning Fan could see, he saw thousands of cavalry charging towards this little bumpkin.

It seems that these cavalry are unwilling to give up the assassination mission. At this time, they are still trying to rush forward.

"Your Majesty, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

At this moment, Xiao Chong was so anxious that his hair turned white.

"Running at this time is a dead end. Please don't panic and wear your mask."

"If we can withstand this wave of attacks, we will have a way to survive. If we cannot withstand this wave of attacks, we will all die. Once these cavalry break through the defense line, none of us can stop them. If we scatter at this time, we can only Becoming a living target for the cavalry, even if they are in flames, they can take us all away before they die. "

Ning Fan said to the crowd?

On the other side, Luocheng was restraining all the Jinyi guards. Fortunately, these Jinyi guards were well-trained and remained calm in times of danger. Even if fire spread around them and smoke rose into the sky, no one escaped privately.

Jin Yiwei's quality was fully demonstrated at this moment, and Ning Fan was quite satisfied after seeing all this.

It is estimated that after the cavalry arrived within the shooting range, under Luo Cheng's command, the Jinyiwei began to fire their guns one after another.

This time there were more cavalry rushing up. After one round of shooting, another group of cavalry rushed up. They shot round after round, and the cavalry fell down one after another.

By the time the shooting was overwhelming, these cavalrymen had already rushed in front of them. Luo Cheng gave an order, and the Jinyi guards drew their swords one after another.

There is almost no advantage in fighting between infantry and cavalry. Fortunately, everyone is standing on a small dirt bag, and the cavalry cannot charge directly.

Moreover, the horses were choked and gasping loudly in the smoke, and had no strength to rush up the hill. The cavalry had no choice but to abandon their horses, jump off, and rush up the hill on foot.

This time, the advantage between the two sides was evened. Seeing these cavalry abandon their horses and charge towards the hill, Ning Fan had a sneer on his face.

Row after row of muskets fired at the cavalry who tried to rush onto the mound, and fell to the muzzle of the guns one after another.

The Jin Yiwei drew out their knives and rushed forward to finish off the attack.

At this time, Ning Fan looked at the direction of the wind. The wind direction was just in everyone's favor. A gust of wind blew away the smoke. On the contrary, the cavalry standing downwind were filled with smoke and swallowed up by the tongues of fire. They all made the sound of howling like ghosts and wolves.

As the flames spread, the horses were frightened and began to run away. The cavalry were choked by the fire and couldn't open their eyes. Some of them fainted directly on their horses.

"It seems that the situation is still very optimistic for us. Let everyone retreat in an orderly manner. Don't run in the direction where the fire is not ignited, but run in the direction of the densest fire."

Ning Fan said to everyone.

This moment made everyone puzzled. Even Xiao Chong and Luo Chengdu expressed their disbelief. They wondered why Ning Fan would issue such an order?

When people are in danger, they will instinctively run away from danger, but Ning Fan insisted on rushing towards the source of the fire. Isn't this asking for death?

"Everyone, listen to me, if we run in the direction where the flames have not spread yet, we will be downwind. By then, our running speed will not be as fast as the flames spreading. If the flames catch up with us, we will be dead. ”

"On the contrary, in those places where the fire started first, the fire has burned through most of the areas, and the trees have been almost burned, so the fire is not so fierce. We can only reach safety through these scorched woods, because they are Burnt areas will not re-burn."

Ning Fan explained to everyone earnestly, and since he was the emperor himself, these royal guards did not dare to resist Ning Fan at all. Even if Ning Fan asked them to jump into the fire, I am afraid these people would not dare to go against Ning Fan's will, so At this moment, after hearing Ning Fan's explanation, everyone no longer had any doubts and rushed towards the nearest places where the flames were ignited.

Ning Fan was surrounded by a group of royal guards. He wore a white cotton mask on his face. The cotton cloth has a strong adsorption capacity after being wetted with water. The smoke that filled the surroundings did not cause much hindrance to everyone.

The blazing flames looked quite scary, but when Ning Fan and the others bypassed the area with the densest flames and rushed into the woods burned by the flames, the air around them became less choking.

The smoke in this burned area was indeed thin. Many people took off their masks and took deep breaths, with the joy of surviving the disaster on their faces.

"Your Majesty is wise. If the conspiracy hadn't worked just now, otherwise we would have been surrounded by thousands of cavalry!"

Luo Cheng half-knelt on the ground and said loudly to Ning Fan. The surrounding Jinyi guards also knelt down. At this time, everyone was impressed by Ning Fan's plan.

Ning Fan had someone bring him water, wiped the black ash on his face with a cloth, and then waved his hands to everyone: "After we repaired it a little, let's continue walking along the river. Let's go before it gets dark." We have to reach our destination, otherwise it would be very dangerous to sleep in the wilderness at night and we don’t have enough logistical support.”

Ning Fan spread out the map and redrawn a new route. This route was completely different from the original route, but it also bypassed some dangerous areas.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to go forward along the route drawn by Ning Fan. In the battle just now, there were not many casualties, only a dozen casualties.

Ning Fan had people make stretchers out of tree branches and carried the wounded soldiers forward.

As the sun sets in the west, the temperature gets lower and lower, and everyone can already feel the cold night. In the evening, there are still more than 40 miles away from the frontline camp, and everyone is really tired by walking.
