After the defense of the Jin army was destroyed, Shi Le was not in a hurry to pursue the fleeing Jin army. He hoped to hold Tuanbai Valley firmly as soon as possible. Therefore, he walked slowly with the bridle and kept instructing the generals on various matters, such as sending people to occupy the important places near the pass.
The moment the flames rose, he had just passed the pass, and the war horse was shocked by the huge heat waves and almost threw him off. Finally, he subdued the chaotic horse. Shi Le looked up and saw that there was a raging fire around him, and he was stunned.
Several trusted subordinates rushed over in flames, helped him to his horse, and rushed out of his pass. He shouted loudly, "What's going on? Why did it catch fire?" But the hot wind caused by the burning air of the flames roared violently, and his shouting was completely inaudible.
Under the pursuit of the fire tongue, these people rolled and crawled out of half a mile. Needless to say, the thrilling along the way burned most of the braids, beards, clothes, etc., and the people were blackened. Fortunately, they actually ran into a stream flowing through the clearings in the forest. Although the amount of water was very small, it was really useful for life-saving. They were overjoyed and jumped in, and their bodies were soaked in water, so they were shocked.
Shi Le looked back and saw fires soaring into the sky on the pass of Tuanbai Valley, and huge flames rose up with the crackling sound of wood. Looking forward, the thick smoke from the woodland that was at its peak was rolling, and countless fires were ignited.
Under such circumstances, how could Shi Le not know that he had fallen into the Jin army's plan? He was still proud of his determination and expected that the situation of the battle would be in control. He was hit hard in a blink of an eye. He suddenly felt evil in his heart, his throat became salty, and he almost vomited blood. Fortunately, his will was indeed firm, so he did not faint.
Sitting in the stream for a few breaths, and being stimulated by the cold water, Shi Le felt much more awake. He then stood up and waved his hands, shouting: "Come in the water! Come in the water! Don't run around!"
While shouting, he saw a half-wolf-dressed soldier in front of him screaming and protruding out of the fire circle. After running a few steps, he suddenly staggered to the ground. Shi Le rushed ashore and dragged the soldier. The flames burned his palms and made a sizzling sound. However, he was completely unmoved and gritted his teeth and pulled the soldier into the stream.
Seeing that the flames were getting more and more intense in the woodlands around the stream, Shi Le roared and turned around and rushed to the shore.
He personally rushed over and hugged Shi Le, and shouted in his ear: "Brother, brother, it's too dangerous! Don't go again!"
Shi Le pushed him away and cursed: "Fuck! Why am I, Shi Le, left me, the one whom I don't care about?" Liu Zheng didn't tighten, and he rushed to the shore again. In this way, he saved several people in a row.
The number of people gathered was large, and Shi Le, the main general, and everyone's emotions stabilized a little. At this time, the fire became more and more fierce, and even the stream water heated up significantly. Everyone inhaled in big breaths, but they still felt like they could not breathe. Shi Le naturally did not dare to stay in the fire for a long time, so he led his subordinates to the downstream of the stream.
This fire-catching forest was not very dense, and there were fire-proof soldiers gathered in the open spaces in the forest. Shi Le kept patrolling and gathering people along the way. Sometimes the burning trees blocked the road, and he worked with everyone to move away. He even led people into the fire several times and snatched out several soldiers. Under his leadership, the team ran along the riverside, growing bigger and bigger like snowballs, and later there were seven or eight hundred people.
They walked west along the stream for about ten miles, and felt that the terrain was getting lower and lower, the soil gradually became wet, and the trees gradually became sparse. Here they had reached the edge of the forest. Looking out, they could see the gentle slopes of the rolling slopes.
Although the fire in the distance was large, it was finally left behind. Seeing that life was worrying, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the group of people looked extremely embarrassed. Six or seven out of ten weapons, armor and other weapons, and the horses had already run away. More than half of the people were carrying light or severe burns. They were even more exhausted. When they relaxed a little, someone collapsed to the ground.
Shi Le was able to rise up with a mere escaped slavery and become the leader of the thieves in Hebei in one fell swoop. He had his own extraordinary points. Although he was in adversity, he quickly adjusted his emotions. Not only did he not feel depressed at all, but he seemed even more energetic. He comforted the soldiers who followed him one by one, and described the current situation in an indifferent tone, as if all the variables were within his expectations and all difficulties would be solved.
Among these hundreds of soldiers were the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Jie people, and even some Xianbei people. They had different languages ​​and customs. At this moment, it was a time of panic and chaos, so it was normal that it should have fallen apart. But Shi Le actually reunited the team with his extraordinary affinity and action!
What made him particularly happy was that at the end of the queue, he was actually bumping into Wang Yang, Hu Yanmo, Guo Heiluo, Zhang Yue, Kong Dun and others with burnt faces. It turned out that they led the Wuhuan cavalry to chase Lu Yao in front, but they saw a fire rising from behind. Most of the Wuhuan cavalry dispersed. These people were worried about the safety of Shi Le and the sworn brothers, so they turned around and rushed into the forest land where the blazing fire was looking for people. There was no need to say much about the thrill of that time. At this time, they were lucky enough to meet again. Everyone felt very sad and happy, and felt like they were different.
This is not a good time to contact each other. Wang Yang was anxious and immediately asked: "Brother, the Jin people are treacherous and have set up such a vicious plan. How should we deal with it?"
Shi Le laughed and replied loudly, "What are you worried about? We have won this battle! The Jin army is just a desperate attempt to jump over the wall!"
When the soldiers around him were focused, he continued, "Everyone just saw that the Jin army had only three or four hundred troops in Tuanbai Valley. They were defeated by our Hu warriors and killed most of them. Some of the escaped Jin people were afraid of being pursued, so they set fire to the forest, causing some trouble."
"It's not me, Shi Le, who joked about everyone, you were all scared. In fact, the trees here are sparse and the wildfires can't burn much. I dare to make a bet with you that this fire will cause at most three or five hundred people..." Shi Le looked around at the soldiers, laughed disdainfully, and then raised his voice three points again: "Brothers! At this moment, Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou of the court, was fighting fiercely with the Great Shanyu in the west, and Jinyang City was empty and empty! Now the brothers rest for a while, and then cheer up. We don't have to wander around in the wilderness. Let's go to Jinyang City to grab money! Grab food! Grab women!"
Shi Le himself knew that most of these words were traitors. First, the fire was clearly planned by the Jin army; second, the losses of his side could not be only three or five hundred people; third, even if Jinyang City is empty, it is not something they can capture now. But the situation in front of him is not so enough to boost the morale of the soldiers. Fortunately, the Hu soldiers were vulgar and ignorant, and generally simple in their minds. He really took this trick. After hearing Shi Le's shout, he was cheered up a little.
Shi Le sighed indescribably and pulled Wang Yang to a place with few people: "My brother Wang Yang, this fire has really ruined us. Judging from the state of the army, it will not take a day or two to regroup, but the Jin army in Jishan and Jiafangshan must come to rescue us in a hurry. In this state, how can we withstand the battle? At this moment, the fire in the direction of the pass is gradually extinguished. You can choose some soldiers who can fight and find a way to cross the pass to join Xie'an. Xie'an has five hundred elite soldiers in his hands. You two must intercept the Jin army and cannot let them take advantage of the fire to rob..."
He was muttering and giving instructions, and suddenly he heard the sound of drums and thunder in the distance.
Shi Le and Wang Yang turned around together.
Outside the shabby forest, a army rushed towards us with drum beats. The army was obviously hiding on the other side of the gentle slope, and it was not until this time that they suddenly appeared. They had about five or six hundred people, arranged a dense army formation. The army was dominated by spearmen, supplemented by swords and shields as cover. There were also archers lined up in front of the formation, and several cyclists were walking on the left and right.
This was not the first time Shi Le saw such a well-trained army. A few days ago, it was this army that attacked the camp at night and killed the famous champion general Qiao Xi; it was this army that launched another fierce attack in the early morning of the next day, causing heavy losses to the Hun army.
What surprised Shi Le even more was that the Jin general who had just given him the idea of ​​recruiting, the brave general who had entered the Hun army alone at the Tuanbaigu Pass was immediately spearing into the military formation. He waved his hand, and a tall and strong soldier first raised the military flag he was carrying high, and then poked the tail into the ground with force. The pure white flag was blown away by the wind, revealing a big word "Lu".
Shi Le suddenly felt dizzy, took a step back and held the guard's shoulder before standing still. His eyes were cracked and his teeth were chewed: "This person... it turns out that this person is Lu Yao, Wujun!"
There were chaotic voices around him, and some people exclaimed: "Aren't Lu Yao garrison in Jishan?" Some people wondered: "Why is there another Jin army here?" Shi Le turned a deaf ear to these voices, his face was gloomy and ferocious, and he was frustrated. He was as smart as him, and of course he knew that the strategy he had carried out had been seen through by Lu Yao. Tuanbai Valley, which originally thought that the weak force had become a trap for the Jin people to be strong.
At this point, no matter how much you think about it, it would be of no benefit. Shi Le drew his sword in his hand and was about to fight to the death, but was hugged by Wang Yang.
Wang Yang said loudly: "This is the moment when the sword is dead. The elder brother is the hero of life. How can he compete with the young soldiers for the courage of a man? You guys take the elder brother and go upstream along the stream to the fire scene. If the gods really protect him, they might be able to make a living! I will resist the Jin army for a while and hold them down!"
As he said that, he lifted his spear and stepped forward. Shi Le burst into tears, and he reached out to grab the corner of his clothes but failed to catch it. Liu Zheng and other relatives did not dare to delay, surrounded Shi Le, and turned around and ran wildly into the forest.
Wang Yang waved his two spears like windmills and rushed towards the Jin army's purging army formation. Many Hu soldiers were inspired by him and launched a fierce assault.
