Chapter 26 Downhill
Chapter 26 Going down the mountain
The camp was surrounded by a sea of fire, and the scorching temperature made everyone anxious and sweaty. If it hadn't been for the fact that the Grand Master was highly respected in the army, the camp would have been in chaos.
It can be said that the good mood brought about by the victory last night was diluted by the fire at this moment.
Fire is an indestructible thing in the world. This was the first time for everyone to see such a spectacular fire, so close and within reach. At this moment, everyone was heartbroken.
Wen Taishi said in a deep voice: "Jiang Ziya, you are so cruel!"
This level of fire was obviously not an ordinary wood fire. It seemed that in order to force himself to go to Crouching Tiger Ridge, Jiang Ziya was willing to go all out. Wasn't he worried that the fire would burn these soldiers to death and increase his sins?
Wen Taishi shook his head. We could not place the lives of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the camp on the mercy of the enemy. The top priority was to find a way to resolve this crisis. For Wen Taishi, this was a severe challenge.
Ji Li said: "Master, let's break through."
Faced with such a raging fire, the only way Ji Li thought was to break out. Fortunately, Jiang Ziya had some considerations and did not kill everyone. Otherwise, the last road down the mountain would be blocked. Hundreds of thousands of troops, except for the master, Fairy Caiyun and himself
Several senior generals and all others perished in the flames.
Fairy Caiyun also advised: "Brother Wen, it's too late to cast rain now. Besides, this is not an ordinary fire, and ordinary rain cannot extinguish it."
Wen Taishi said: "There is a fire all around the camp, but there is no road leading to the bottom of the mountain. This is obviously Jiang Ziya's plan, and the purpose is to lure us into taking the bait."
Yang Jian said: "Uncle, my disciple is willing to make meritorious service and capture Deng Zhong with his own hands on the battlefield to avenge Xin Jia and other generals."
…
Deng Zhong stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master, I have a suggestion."
Jiang Ziya said: "Just stay with me and report the enemy's situation in a timely manner. After tonight, I will remember you as your first contribution."
"Yang Ren, what's going on on the mountain?"
Yang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, this disciple neglected his duty and almost made a big mistake."
"Go back to Uncle Master, the Shang army will be able to carry grain, grass and baggage."
Yang Jian and Muzha received the order and went to order the troops.
"Jiang Ziya came prepared this time. It's not easy to break out of the siege."
Jiang Ziya's expression changed and he said, "How much food and grass does the enemy have?"
Through Yang Ren, Jiang Ziya reported the situation on the mountain. He knew Taishi Wen's every move very well. Seeing that Taishi was about to break out, he said: "Yang Jian, Muzha, you two each bring five thousand elites to support Nezha and Huang Tianhua. You must give them
This commander cut off hundreds of thousands of enemy troops."
Yang Rendao: "Uncle Master, what are the arrangements for this disciple?"
Of these hundreds of thousands of troops, I don’t know how many will be left after tonight.
Wen Taishi sighed, turned his gaze to Deng Zhong, and said: "Deng Zhong, our army is currently in trouble, do you have a way to solve it?"
Yang Jian has always been confident about strategy, but he fell into the enemy's trap twice in a row, and even caused Huang Tianxiang to die in battle. Tonight, he learned that the enemy had sufficient food and grass, and Yang Jian felt his face burning.
When it was nearly half a stick of incense, the transportation of food, grass and baggage was completed. Wen Taishi led hundreds of thousands of merchant troops and prepared to break out of the encirclement. However, Jiang Ziya's army was waiting for work, and there must be heavy troops guarding him at the foot of the mountain. If he wanted to escape from under his nose, he would have to escape even if he died.
Several layers of skin.
Jiang Ziya snorted and said to Yang Jian: "Tell me what's going on."
…
Wen Taishi said: "You say."
The fire has just started now, and the whole camp is starting to heat up. After burning for half an hour, Crouching Tiger Ridge will turn into a mountain of flames, which is no place to treat people. Besides, the billowing black smoke is drifting towards the camp.
The young soldier's eyes were so drunk.
Deng Zhong said: "Grand Master, Tao Rong has a gathering wind flag in his hand. When he is about to descend to the bottom of the mountain, point this treasure at the exit and shake it. The enemy will definitely be overturned. We will take this opportunity to quickly break out of the encirclement."
Yang Ren hurriedly said: "Disciple is willing."
Yang Rendao: "It's hard to estimate the disciples, but the food and grass are piled up like mountains, I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of stones."
Jiang Ziya nodded, no matter what abilities these apprentice nephews have, they can have emotions in private, but on the battlefield, everything must obey their own orders. If anyone disobeys, he will go back and forth wherever he goes. Xiqi should not disobey the generals who are in charge.
No wonder, Master Wen was not in a hurry at all. He still had so much food and grass, so even if he had a stalemate with him for another month or two, it would not be a big problem. Fortunately, he asked Teacher Ran Deng for help, otherwise he would still be kept in the dark.
Deng Zhong said: "Jiang Ziya will definitely send a large army to stop us from breaking through. There is only one road to break through, and the width is only ten meters. The enemy only needs to send a small number of troops to choke the throat leading to the outside. Our army will definitely pay a heavy price for a strong attack."
A heavy price."
"Here."
Yang Ren had a pair of heavenly eyes that could look up into the heavens and down into the underground caves. Although the enemy camp was separated by a raging fire, it did not affect his sight. He could see the busy appearance of the merchant army.
When the Grand Master heard what he said, he knew that this was the only way to go, so he immediately ordered to prepare for a breakout.
However, before breaking out, they must bring food, grass and baggage. Under the command of Deng Zhong, the soldiers were busy under the fire.
Jiang Ziya waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll attack the enemy camp with fire tonight. I heard that the Grand Master's defeat is certain. Even if he still has food and fodder, he can't change the situation."
Jiang Ziya pondered: "You obviously burned the enemy's food and grass. The enemy was trapped in Xiqi territory and could not get out. The outside world could not transport food and grass in. There is only one explanation. Before you attacked the enemy's food and grass, they stored some of it.
forage."
Fairy Caiyun said: "Brother Wen, we have an army of hundreds of thousands, so we may not be able to find a way out."
Yang Jian looked depressed and said: "Back to my uncle, I clearly burned the enemy's food and grass last time, and all the soldiers can testify. I don't know what happened to the food and grass that suddenly appeared."
Yang Renyi was a little disappointed when he heard that. He was also a capable person, but he acted as Master Jiang's eyes and ears on the battlefield. Although he had meritorious service, he was not as happy as Nezha and the others fighting on the battlefield.
Grand Master Wen sighed: "I don't know what you said about me. No matter how high the price is, I will lead the soldiers to fight a way out."
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ziya said, "Why, you don't want to?"
Deng Zhongdao: "Grand Master, for the present plan, we can only forcefully break through."
Jiang Ziya nodded, he had never doubted Yang Jian's ability.
Wen Taishi's eyes lit up and he said: "This plan is feasible."
When the generals heard this, they also cheered up. A big fire put oneself in an unfavorable situation. If the enemy could be caught off guard with the help of a magic weapon, it would be possible to break out of the encirclement.
Deng Zhong smiled in his heart. The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright in another village.
Jiang Ziya used the magic weapon to force Master Wen to abandon the strategic location of Crouching Tiger Ridge, but he could also use the magic weapon to help the army find a way out. This battle is not over yet.
