"General He, please look, there are scorched corpses everywhere. This group of Shu people has been wiped out!"
On the back of the mountain in the dense forest, following He Shu's gaze, there were charred corpses in various postures in front of them. Densely packed, everywhere.
In his ecstasy, he just thought that he was going to get military glory, so He Shu suddenly forgot to be cautious. He didn't know that a revenge brewing by the Shu people was spreading all around.
…
One day ago.
When the fire was about to be extinguished, Gongou walked out of the cave and looked up at the front. He couldn't help crying at his colleagues who were burned to death.
"My condolences to General Xu. If we don't leave here first, people from Beiyu will definitely come to check the body."
Gongou gritted his teeth and shook his head, his face full of hatred. In this fire, at least half of the original three thousand people were burned to death.
There were only more than a thousand people left, and many of them still had injuries on their bodies. Indeed, taking the opportunity to escape is undoubtedly the best choice.
But whether he was following his brother, the poisonous owl strategist, or the lame man strategist, he gradually understood the truth that surprise on the battlefield was the magic weapon for victory.
"General Xu, do you want us to pretend to be charred corpses?"
"Exactly." Gongou calmed down, "There are ashes all around. There is no difficulty in using the ashes as a cover. Moreover, the corpses of ancestors can also be used as a shield."
"General Xu, if there are too many enemy troops checking corpses, we may be at a disadvantage."
"It's nothing more than a judgment." Gonguo lowered his voice, "If I go by my guess, if we were burned to death, there must be the first batch of people who came to get military merit. I even think that the first batch of people who came to get military merit , is most likely the Beiyu general who burned the forest this time."
The faces of the Xishu soldiers nearby were covered with thick dirt, but one or two of them were extremely determined. Many people were considered young, and those older than them had already died first and remained in the scorched forest forever.
"Let me tell you something first. If there are too many enemy troops searching for corpses, we...are very likely to be in crisis again. But in other words, there are not many people searching for corpses, and it is the general Shaolin. I will take revenge soon!"
There were only more than a thousand Shu soldiers left in the surrounding area, and they all gritted their teeth.
"General Xu, please lead us to kill the thieves and defeat the enemy!"
"Exactly what Xu Changgong meant!" Gongou drew out his short knife and stabbed it hard on the ground.
…
Under the back of the mountain, the motionless "charred corpses" were already waiting. But He Shu, who had no idea, was still thinking about getting the jade official card from his younger brother of the Shu royal family so that he could go back and receive his merits.
"Hurry up, dig through those charred corpses, and hand them over to me, no matter what the fish talisman is."
With only five or six hundred people, He Shu looked a little worried after all. Vaguely, the infantry outside the forest seemed to be about to step in.
A captain of the cavalry battalion, holding his knife and frowning, squatted down and turned over a "burnt corpse." What surprised him was that the charred corpse was still a little damp and hot.
"Don't blame me, I was watching the horses outside the forest earlier, but I didn't light the fire——"
The captain's voice was not finished, and suddenly, his whole body trembled violently. He clearly noticed that Jiao Zhi suddenly opened his eyes towards him and stared at him.
The captain was so frightened that he rolled over and crawled in fear, preparing to run away.
Click——
"Burned Corpse" suddenly drew the knife and chopped it off from the back of his neck.
The captain's scream suddenly startled the surrounding Beiyu soldiers. He Shu was extremely angry and looked around anxiously, "Damn it, who is yelling?"
"General He... the scorched corpse is alive!"
He Shu's face turned pale. He continued to look forward and found that at some point, countless "charred corpses" stood up on their left and right, holding daggers in their hands.
"Kill!" A short, charred corpse ordered angrily.
"Roar!"
After a while, the "scorched corpses" roared angrily, and when they were not prepared, they slashed with their knives.
"This is a Shu soldier! What? How is this possible? Why weren't they burned to death!" He Shu's voice trembled. According to his estimation, if the fire burned the forest and this group of men was trapped in it, how could they still survive? .
The sound of fighting became louder and louder. The five or six hundred Beiyu Cavalry Camp who were caught off guard had only one encounter, and more than a hundred people were hacked to death in a pool of blood.
"Let's go!" He Shu calmed down. Under the protection of more than a dozen personal guards, he no longer cared about military achievements and wanted to escape out of the forest.
"Bow bow——"
The Xishu infantry bowmen who were good at shooting were lying in ambush at a farther position. They set up their bows and twisted their arrows, and shot many fleeing Beiyu soldiers on the spot.
He Shu didn't dare to stop, so he and his guards ran wildly in the direction of leaving the forest. He knew very well that if he moved too slowly, he might really die here.
Bang.
After running only a few more steps, He Shu's movements stagnated and he fell to the ground. When he lowered his head in fear, he discovered that two charred corpses of Xishu, which could no longer die, were looking at him with bulging eye sockets.
What tripped him up was clearly two pairs of hands held together.
"Go back to Seventy Miles Tomb Mountain together -"
The more than a hundred Xishu soldiers who were following behind cried bitterly when they saw this. They caught up with their swords and surrounded He Shu and started to kill him.
A dozen Beiyu personal guards did not last long before they fell into a pool of blood.
He Shu roared angrily, raised his knife and pushed back two or three people. Panting for air, he raised his head reluctantly and looked at the dwarf general who was charging towards him.
"Xu Changgong! You are a fire-eating general who still lives with his misfortune!"
There is a legend in the north that there was an ancient general who was bathed in fire and survived. He was revered as the "Fire-Eating General" by the world.
"belch……"
He Shu cut himself with a knife and fell heavily backward.
In the surrounding Beiyu Cavalry Camp, there were five to six hundred people, and more than four to five hundred were killed or wounded. The rest did not dare to fight anymore, so they could only take advantage of the chaos and escape from the forest.
The bow dog, covered in ashes, stood with his sword in hand, his back facing the sky.
…
"Fire-eating general?" Jiang Meng almost cursed after receiving the information that the cavalry camp had suffered heavy losses. Compared with the starting pawns, the soldiers in the cavalry camp are even more important.
Although the people from the north were good at horses, no matter what, in just a few days, almost all of Shan Ma's five or six hundred people died.
"Damn it, didn't He Shu set fire to the forest?"
"Of course they were released...and burned, but for some reason, many Shu people were still alive. Especially the clan brother of King Xu Shu, who even brought the remaining Shu soldiers, pretending to be burnt corpses, to surround them. Killed He Shu's five or six hundred cavalry camp. He was burned by fire but did not die... That's why he is called a fire-eating general. Being able to swallow fire without dying is a sign of great evil——"
"Shut up." Jiang Meng interrupted coldly.
The strategies they finally came up with were all successful, but in the end, they were counterattacked by the Shu people, which was really a shame and a great humiliation.
Jiang Meng exhaled and looked at Chen Shuiguan in front of him. A face gradually fell into silence.
Even he can't see clearly the battle situation in Kezhou now.
