Time passed quickly and more than one day passed.

According to the various reports sent back by the scouts, the Qin army seemed to have really retreated, and not even a trace could be found on the south bank of the Yellow River. However, the Wei army's scouts did not dare to go too deep, and they did not know what was happening on the other side of Daliang for the time being.

According to information gathered from many sources, Pang Quan felt that Wei Jun had really left. After hesitating for a long time, he gave the order to cross the river tomorrow.

The next day, it was dawn.

The soldiers of the Wei army quickly built a pontoon bridge and reached the south bank of the Yellow River.

What Pang Quan saw was only the traces left by the Qin army's tents on the south bank, and nothing else. Then they walked south for a long time, and it couldn't be smoother, and there were no ambushes or traps.

"Continue to send out scouts to investigate."

Despite this, Pang Quan still dared not be careless.

Make sure there are no problems ahead before continuing on your way.

As the Wei army marched south, they sent people to investigate the situation, but still not even a shadow of the Qin army could be seen.

"Did something really happen to the Qin army and they all retreated?"

This thought appeared in Pang Quan's mind again, and he quickly ordered: "Speed ​​up and go back to Daliang."

His vigilance gradually dropped.

Then the 250,000-strong army quickly walked on the main road back to Daliang.

When passing through a mountainous area, they discovered that at some point, there was a large amount of hay under their feet, which was spread along the road. There seemed to be something wet under the hay, but they did not take a closer look, nor did they think too much. They were in a hurry to go back.

Rescue beam.

After a while, the former army walked out of the road paved with hay, but the first soldier to walk out suddenly felt his feet slip and fell heavily to the ground.

The soldiers who followed from behind were caught off guard and several of them fell down.

The remaining soldiers stopped in time.

Someone immediately stepped forward to check the situation and turned around and said, "General, the road ahead is wet with tung oil for some reason. It seems like someone just fell down."

Pang Quan looked forward in confusion, wondering why there was tung oil here, and ordered: "Put the hay at the back on top and hurry up as soon as possible."

As long as he goes back one day earlier, Daliang will be less dangerous for one day.

"only!"

The soldiers rushed to take action.

However, hundreds of Qin soldiers suddenly appeared on the mountains on both sides of the road.

"No, that's the Qin Army..."

Soon someone shouted in panic.

Sure enough, there are traps and ambushes!

When Pang Quan heard this voice, he had a bad premonition and quickly put people on guard, ready to counterattack at any time.

But they couldn't see the Qin army charging in. The Qin army soldiers who appeared on the mountain just carried dozens of huge wooden barrels and threw them directly to the road below.

boom!

The wooden barrel quickly rolled to the foot of the mountain and was broken. The various greases inside quickly flowed down and spread on the hay.

When other Wei soldiers were wondering what the Qin army was going to do, Pang Quan shouted: "The Qin army is going to attack with fire, so hurry up!"

However, as soon as his voice fell, an arrow with flaming light shot down from the mountain.

It just fell on top of the hay and grease.

boom!

The fire was instantly ignited, spreading towards the Wei army and surrounding them.

There is also tung oil and grease underneath the hay that is wet, and will be ignited directly when exposed to an open flame.

The sea of ​​fire swept over with the force of a prairie fire and swallowed up the Wei soldiers in the blink of an eye.

At the exit and entrance of the mountain road, soldiers of the Qin army were also ambushed. Seeing this, they drew their bows and shot flaming arrows in.

The fire became more and more terrifying, cutting off all retreat routes for the Wei army.

All kinds of heart-rending screams rang out from the sea of ​​​​fire, and the burning smell drifted out with the wind, which was very unpleasant.

Wei general Pang Quan was immediately confused. He had always suspected that the Qin army would have a trap, but he did not expect that there was one. The fire attack was so fierce. This fire was enough to burn them all to death, and no one could survive.

Before the sea of ​​fire spread to his side, Pang Quan shouted: "Get out!"

The soldiers around him gathered quickly, as did the other soldiers.

It was a bit difficult to rush up the mountain. There must be an ambush by the Qin army on the mountain, and there was also the interference of thick smoke. They could only rush to the exit, use dozens of soldiers to attack the flames to clear the way, and then rush forward together.

However, as soon as he rushed out, there was an ambush at the exit.

A large number of arrows flew by like locusts.

As soon as Pang Quan and others stepped outside, they were immediately killed by arrows. After falling to the ground, they were quickly swallowed up by the sea of ​​fire and were all scorched.

Bai Zhong led everyone to the exit. When he saw the fire inside and smelled the unpleasant smell, he couldn't help but cover his nose. This fire was enough to burn all 250,000 people to death.

Even those who could not be burned to death would be shot dead by the ambushed Qin soldiers.

"Your plan is a bit cruel."

When Ying Shu saw the miserable situation in front of her, she said unbearably.

A total of 250,000 people were burned alive, which was a huge number. It was incredibly painful when they were burned, much more painful than dying normally on the battlefield.

Meng Tian and others thought the same way.

Bai Zhong said disapprovingly: "War is like this. Wait until the fire is extinguished, then go in and clean the battlefield."

When he thought about using fire to attack, he had already imagined how miserable the scene would be, and said: "You should not be merciful to the enemy, and you should not control your troops with kindness, otherwise your own soldiers will be killed."

"The general is right, kindness does not command troops!"

Meng Tian first agreed.

War is usually cruel.

Rivers of blood are also the norm.

The fire burned for more than half an hour and was finally extinguished. Some of the flames spread to the mountain, but they were quickly extinguished by the Qin soldiers on the mountain.

The soldiers of the Qin army who went to clean up the battlefield saw the miserable state of the burned-to-death Wei army inside. Even though they had killed so many enemies, they couldn't help but vomited because their stomachs turned. In the end, Bai Zhong suggested digging out the soil from the mountain.

, the passage below was filled in, and everything was settled.

Next, the Qin army walked about ten miles south and set up camp to rest.

Bai Zhong simply judged the current situation and asked the 70,000 people to go back to Wang Bi and continue digging canals to flood Daliang. He took the remaining people around him and marched to the east of Daliang. The final goal was Suiyang to help

Qiang Yu took care of Ninglingjun's son Qiu.

The north, west and south sides of Daliang are completely safe, with only the east side still experiencing unrest.

At night.

Bai Zhong opened the attribute panel and looked at it. The merit points had increased to more than 5,000.

Part of it was the conversion of military merit, which amounted to almost 400,000 people, and part of it was the merit points he got from killing the Wei soldiers who had smuggled across the country that day. The two have been added together.

"System, add some flesh to everything."

"Add points for success."

"Strength 5320, defense 5320, speed 5320."

"Congratulations to the host, the system has been upgraded to level 6."
Chapter completed!
