Chapter 436 A single spark can start a prairie fire! The violent Chu shall die!
"Brothers, in order to let the baby live a good life, rush!"
"Avenge the brothers who died in the battle!"
Zhao'an's army roared They poured into Xishan, shouting random slogans.
The dense vegetation obscured the line of sight and occupied the space, which not only further broke up the formation of Zhao'an's army, but also made it difficult for Qu Wan and other generals stationed by the Chu State at all levels to see the overall situation, and could only rely on Zhao'an to follow. An army moves freely.
Wu Zhe, who was mixed in the crowd, also raised his spear high and shouted excitedly:
"Kill Qin's dog! Exchange for fertile land!"
But as he ran, Wu Zhe had already moved to the edge of Zhao'an's army. .
“Quick! Go!”
With a final wave of his arms, Wu Zhe dove into the dense forest and ran quickly.
Several thieves nearby laughed when they saw this: "Brother Wu, you are running in the wrong direction!"
"The Qin army is running to the west, you are running to the north!"
"Hahaha~ Don't pay attention to him. Wouldn't it be better if there were less people here to grab the military glory?"
The laughter and shouts behind him became weaker and weaker, and Wu Zhe stopped shouting and just squatted down to take a look from time to time. Carve the mark on the tree trunk, and then continue running wildly along the mark's instructions.
Suddenly, the originally gloomy forest lit up with gleams of cold light, and a steady voice sounded.
"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"
Looking at the crossbow arrows protruding from various places in the forest, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Wu Zhe's back. He quickly raised his hands and responded loudly:
< br>"Hammer with sickle!"
The crossbow arrow disappeared into the forest again, and a figure wearing armor turned out from behind a giant tree.
"The Chang'an Lord of Great Qin has hundreds of generals under his command, the hexagram master." The hexagram master bowed his hands and saluted: "I have seen a righteous man!"
Wu Zhe also hurriedly raised his hand and returned the gift: "Wu Zhe, under the command of Master Peng Lize Chen, pays homage to General Gua."
"I have heard about the name of General Gua for a long time. It is truly a blessing to meet him today!"
Although Gua Fu is only a general with hundreds of soldiers, his reputation is not small.
After all, few domestic soldiers can shoot and kill generals multiple times.
And the only one who shot through the king's palm was Gua Fu!
Coupled with the fact that Guafu has no surname and a humble background, Guafu has become the idol of many domestic soldiers.
The fortune teller stepped forward and smiled cheerfully: "I have heard about your reputation as a rebel Peng Lize for a long time."
"With the help of all the loyalists, this battle will be won!"
Standing in front of Wu Zhe, Gua Fu looked at Wu Zhe gently and sincerely:
“Welcome all of you to join our army!”
Wu Zhe's throat seemed to be blocked by honey and he was speechless.
A few months ago, Wu Zhe and other brothers arrived at the waters east of Echeng to undergo reorganization.
Qu Wan and other generals who entered the army all looked arrogant and regarded them as tools rather than human beings.
They believe that King Chu of Chu pardoned Zhao'an's army, and Zhao'an's army should be grateful. They also believe that all thieves have bad natures and can only be disciplined by imposing a strict system.
So Qu Che and other generals beat and scolded the Zhao'an army at every turn, and even often killed people to establish their authority!
If they had not accepted Yao Jia's order, Wu Zhe and others might have fled back to Daze.
However, today, Guafu, who is the right-hand man of Lord Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty and a role model for the soldiers of the world, treats him like this!
After a few breaths, Wu Zhecai's lips moved and he squeezed out a sentence:
"We will die for Lord Chang'an!"
The smile on the Guafu's face grew stronger. brilliant.
As long as you are good to Mr. Chang'an, then we are good brothers!
The fortune teller laughed heartily: "What a righteous man!"
"After this battle, come and have a drink with me!"
Wu Zhe didn't know how to face the fortune teller. He was full of enthusiasm and didn't know how to face the kindness of the nobleman, so he cut to the point abruptly: "General, the two main armies chasing into Xishan now are Captain Qu Che and Captain Zhaoxiang."
"Count it in." There are three main armies under the command of Captain Luo Xiang who are fighting fiercely with our army on the mountain road.”
"Captain Xiang Rong's troops are bypassing the Western Mountains and heading further west. We don't know what he wants." A small number of Zhao'an troops are the vanguard of entering the Xishan Mountains, totaling more than 60,000 people. "
"Our people are mainly concentrated in the Zhao'an troops recruited by the King of Chu. Only more than 400 people entered the mountains this time. People.”
What Wu Zhe said was information that the fortune teller already knew.
After all, the Qin army scouts are not just for a living.
The hexagram master also knew that the more than 400 people under Wu Zhe's command were only a small part of his people.
But the hexagram master still bowed his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Paoze!"
Wu Zhecheng returned the salute in fear: "General, there is no need to do this."
"General, please tell us what we need to do. What’s more, we will definitely help you!”
Wu Zhe was panicked and happy at the same time.
As a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, how can the position of the hexagram master in the Chang'an palace be comparable to that of his disciples?
Such a noble man thanked him.
Wu Zhe can brag about this for the rest of his life!
Hearing this, the hexagram master was not polite and directly ordered: "As soon as Pao Ze returns to the army, please inform the other Pao Ze."
"Cut off the left sleeve of the clothes and expose the left arm to show his identity. .”
"So as not to cause pain to relatives and pleasure to enemies."
"Also." The fortune teller handed Wu Zhe two big bundles: "Distribute the tung oil in these bundles to all the robes."
"Let all the robes pour and light the tung oil after hearing the order."
"Then immediately withdraw to the east and withdraw from Xishan!"
Wu Zhe took the baggage and opened it, then I saw bamboo tubes as thick as my thumb and as long as my palm.
Wu Zhe asked in surprise: "Only one for each person?"
"Even if the vegetation here is dense, if you just use this little tung oil to help the fire, it will be difficult to ignite too many vegetation."
"If Chu Jun's reaction is so fast that he can extinguish all the flames with just a handful of sand!" Wu Zhe wanted to ask the fortune teller.
Everyone in the world knows that the Qin army has something called oil, which is much more powerful than tung oil.
Why not give each person a large jar of oil, but just a small amount of tung oil?
The Gua Fu smiled and nodded: "One for each person is enough."
"If there are more, it will be difficult to carry."
"If the fire is too strong, everyone Paoze may not be able to escape from Xishan!"
Wu Zhe was stunned.
In order to give them enough time to escape, Chang'an Jun actually gave up the optimal solution of directly burning the Western Mountains and killing all the Chu troops.
Instead, I chose such a thankless method!
Why should these despicable thieves be treated like this!
Lowering his head and covering his red eyes, Wu Zhe suddenly held up his hands: "We will live up to our orders!"
The Guafu smiled and patted Wu Zhe on the shoulder: "Survive. ”
"I will be waiting for your good news!"
With full of excitement and emotion, Wu Zhe left here with his baggage on his back.
After Wu Zhe, another soldier from Zhao'an also came here quietly.
Bamboo tubes were sent to the Zhao'an army one after another, and one of the Zhao'an soldiers cut off his left sleeve.
Qu Wan knew nothing about this.
In other words, Qu Wan never took Zhao'an's army seriously.
He just used the Zhao'an army as cannon fodder and drove them to attack the Qin army's formation.
“Don’t be afraid, charge forward!” Qu Wan shouted excitedly: “As long as we break through this formation, our army can completely annihilate the enemy!”
“Instruct all the generals to do whatever it takes. The price must be broken!”
After chasing and fleeing, the three troops of Li Xin, Qiang Huai, and Su Jiao were forced to retreat to the top of Xishan Mountain under the encirclement and interception of the Chu army.
Now, Zhao'an army has surrounded three Qin army groups.
Outside Zhao'an's army, Qu Che, Zhao Xiang, and Luo Xiang formed a second layer of encirclement.
Qu Wan has no idea how he lost!
When he thought that he could annihilate three famous generals, Li Xin, Su Jiao, and Qiang Huai, for the first time on the battlefield, Qu Wan felt that Ming Liu Qingshi was waving to him.
What a wonderful word!
There was deep worry in Qu Che's eyes: "What is the purpose of the Qin army rushing to the Western Mountains?"
"Is it just to be surrounded by our army on the top of the mountain?"
"It is so convenient. Can Jun Qin Chang'an really resist setting fire to the terrain? "
Where is Qin Jun's brain?
Could it be that the Qin army collectively lost their wits?
Luo Xiang immediately explained: "Shangzhu State has specifically warned that we must be careful of the Qin army setting fires."
"At the beginning of our attack on Xishan, we sent scouts to carefully investigate Xishan."
< br>“Except for the top of the mountain occupied by the Qin army, there are no traces of oil pouring on the entire Western Mountain.”
“The Qin army will not start setting fire from under its own feet!”
"These three soldiers and horses are the elite of the Qin army. No matter how crazy Mr. Qin Changan is, he is not willing to let these three soldiers and horses die here!"
Luo Xiang also knew that the current battle situation was unreasonable.
But he has indeed done everything he can do, without slacking off at all.
After thinking for a long time, Qu Che finally nodded gently: "I hope everything goes well."
Luo Xiang also looked at the three Qin troops worriedly: "Yes, I hope everything goes well..."
Before Luo Xiang finished speaking, a shout suddenly reached Luo Xiang's ears.
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the guts!"
Looking at the Qin army roaring in unison, Luo Xiang and Qu Che were both stunned.
Soon Luo Xiang burst into laughter: "When did this sentence reach Qin?"
"What's the point of the Qin army shouting this slogan now?"
< br>“It’s just a lie that some thieves use to comfort their consciences.”
"It seems that the Qin army is indeed at the end of its rope, and it is trying to incite rebellion against the Zhao'an army with just one sentence!"
Qu Che's eyes also showed a bit of scorn: "Princes, generals and ministers are born with talent."< br>
“The despicable people have been despicable for generations.”
“I, the Great Chu, can control these untouchables with just a little trick.”
“Delusional reliance. Can these untouchables break out of the siege? ”
"How ridiculous!"
But as the chant resounded throughout the Western Mountains, a man named Zhao Anjun touched his waist.
The bamboo tubes were opened one after another, and the tung oil contained in them was poured out.
Immediately afterwards, flint collided, sparks flew everywhere, and flames rose!
A little tung oil cannot ignite a fire, and may even be easily extinguished by the soles of shoes.
But when thousands of flames bloomed together, they exploded with tenacious vitality.
A single spark can start a prairie fire!
Wu Zhe used his body to protect the flames under him, and the spear in his hand was already thrusting out towards a neatly dressed Zhao'an soldier beside him.
"Brothers!" Facing the splatter of blood, Wu Zhe shouted angrily: "The State of Chu oppresses us, but the State of Qin is willing to let us become marquises and generals, and Lord Qin Chang'an is even more willing to let us. The humble people have enough to eat!”
“Follow me to help the Qin army”
"Breaking Chu shall die!"
All the Zhao'an troops with their left arms exposed rose up at the same time.
The weapons in their hands turned towards the Chu army behind them, and roared:
"The violent Chu must die!"
