At the end of September, the autumn wind is bleak and the weather is getting cooler.
The trees in the mountains are all withered and yellow, with pine needles stacked on the ground and covered with leaves.
Since the highest order from the frontline monarch was conveyed, Jinzhou did not dare to slack off. It took more than ten days to finally deliver the collected jars of kerosene to the military camp.
The disaster was coming, and Li Po was unaware of it and was still living the same life as before.
On this day, Qin Xuan allied forces camped.
Outside the Chinese army's tent, Xiao Yuan and King Xuan stood together, followed by all the generals.
The autumn wind was blowing, which was a bit cool. Xiao Yuan couldn't help but tighten his clothes, and then raised his hand to feel the wind: "Yes, this wind is okay."
King Xuan nodded: "Brother Wang, give the order."
Xiao Yuan didn't know how to write ink, so he turned around and looked at the generals of the two countries, looked around and said:
"With all the ministries currently encircling them, when the time comes, they will light the oil jars and launch missile attacks on Lushan in all directions."
"The wind is now blowing from the north, and the fire will spread rapidly from north to south with the help of the wind. By then, Li Po will also flee south. Therefore, the main force of our army will be gathered here to annihilate Li Po."
"Order, Xu Hu leads 20,000 elite troops to block Hu Lin Road."
"Order, Lian Xiao leads 20,000 elite troops and lay down on the southwest road."
"Order, Xu Zhen, general of the Xuan Army, will lead 20,000 troops and set up an ambush on the ramp."
"The other main forces are guarding the south of Lushan!"
"Got the order!"
After he gave the order, all the generals shook their heads and clasped their fists.
"Generals of all ministries, go down quickly and prepare!"
"promise!"
On the coalition side, all deployments have begun.
At noon, that is, from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, as the hour approached, rows of trebuchets had been pushed forward and appeared in all directions of Lushan.
Naturally, such a movement could not be hidden from Yan Jun's secret sentinel, and the news was quickly spread to Li Po.
"What!?" After hearing this, the latter was startled at first and couldn't help but stand up, but soon, he sneered again:
"What do the Qin and Xuan coalition forces want to do? Are they going to use trebuchets and other siege equipment to attack Lushan?"
An Shao knelt down on one knee, equally baffled: "This subordinate doesn't know either."
"This is not a city! It's so ridiculous!"
Li Po curled his lips again, but everyone was already taking action, as if they were attacking Lushan. As a general, he couldn't just ignore it, so he waved to the generals and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
Lushan is very large, with hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. As you can imagine, the camps are continuous, and the location of Li Po's main stronghold is also some distance from the foot of the mountain. They received the news and were ready to come out to take a look, but at the same time , the coalition military order was issued, and all trebuchets began to fill the oil tanks.
"ignition"
When the time came, there were orders from the generals in all directions.
"put"
At the command, the sound of mechanical movement came one after another, and each oil tank, with the light of fire, shot out arcs in the air, and fell into the dense forest of Lushan like raindrops.
boom! boom!
The sound of the earthen jars bursting one after another resounded throughout the forest.
Most of the flaming oil jar hit the tree trunk. When the impact shattered, the kerosene inside also spattered, forming a small-scale explosion.
Fire oil ignites when touched by fire, and the same is true for dead leaves in the forest.
Now that these two things are put together, there is no need to say more about the situation.
The fire spread almost instantly, the burning branches crackled, and many big trees were filled with flames in an instant.
Throughout Lushan, thick smoke billowed into the sky from all directions. Recommended reading TV//
The dead trees were connected together, and the pine needles and dead leaves on the ground were following the fire, like fire snakes, wildly devouring them, spreading rapidly in the direction of the wind.
It didn't take long at all for the sea of fire to form and advance towards the Yanjun camp at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Li Po had just left the main tent.
The Hundred Thousand Company Battalion stretched out very large, occupying almost the entire Lushan Mountain. At this moment, some of the outer camps were already under fire.
Since the camp is built of wood and the tent is made of cloth, you can imagine the situation if it encounters a fierce fire.
An unknown number of the soldiers on the outermost perimeter were swallowed up by the fire. One by one, the burning men were dancing and running wildly in the sea of fire, and at the same time they let out pitiful howls.
Fires soared into the sky, following the direction of the wind.
The miserable howls from the outside have filled the entire mountain forest, and it has already become chaotic. It's just that it's far away from Li Po.
Just as he was looking at the thick smoke in the sky and frowning, a general in charge of peripheral defense also hurried over.
There were still some gray stains on the general's face, and his helmet was tilted to one side as he ran so fast. When he arrived at Li Po, he screamed:
"The general is in trouble! The Qin army uses fire to attack! There are fires everywhere in Lushan!"
"What!?" When the latter heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
He, who had not cared about it before, was already a little panicked at this time, and kept asking: "What's the situation ahead! There is a serious problem in my camp! Where are the soldiers!"
He asked questions one after another, and the general replied hurriedly: "It's all destroyed, it's all destroyed, General. The fire is spreading here. It won't be long before it spreads to the main tent and the entire camp will be burned down."
"Oh General, what can we do?"
The young generals behind him also panicked.
Li Po clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "The King of Qin is hateful! You are such a treacherous person! You actually use such a treacherous trick!"
"General, now is not the time to talk about this. If we don't leave here, it will be too late!" the general said urgently.
"What about my soldiers in front!" Li Po's eyes were about to burst.
"This, this, you can run as much as you can! Many soldiers were swallowed up by the fire. A moment later, more people will die, General!"
"Yes, General, you can't stay any longer!"
Under the constant urging of the generals, Li Po roared angrily, and then without daring to hesitate, he quickly began to give orders, and everyone broke out down the mountain.
But the Yan Army on the periphery had countless people burned to death. They were all in chaos at this time. In the sea of fire, like headless flies, soldiers covered in fire could be seen everywhere.
There were dead trees everywhere in the forest. Surrounded by the raging fire, it was not that easy for Li Po to run away!
Just as he was fleeing along the road with a large number of Yan troops in the main tent, the road ahead was covered by fire, and everything he could see was a sea of fire.
The heat wave hit my face, burning my skin.
"General, there is no road here, what should we do?"
General Youbiao was almost crying.
Among the Yanjun who survived, including Li Po, no one did not panic.
Outside Lushan.
Even though they were far away, they could still feel the heat wave. Looking at the blazing fire in the distance, Xiao Yuan said quietly:
"With such fire, Li's 100,000-strong army will be wiped out."
