"Okay," Jiang Yuxuan turned to Luo Feng and said, "Village chief, please let Lu Wenying lead a battalion of troops to the lake not far from here, dig out the lake, and divert water to fill it."
"What about our people?" Luo Feng asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, village chief. The terrain here is only lower than that of the lake. The water diversion will not be too large. It is estimated that even the fire set by the enemy cannot be extinguished, but it can help us not to be burned to death by the fire."
When Luo Feng heard this, he immediately said to Lu Wenying: "Go right away and try to control the water. We must not be flooded."
"Don't worry, village chief, we must control the amount of water released." After Lu Wenying finished speaking, he led the army quickly toward the lake.
Feng Ziying led the army forward and stopped near the central area of the village.
Seeing that Cai Bo only had a few hundred people, Feng Ziying took a few steps forward and shouted loudly: "You must be Cai Bo. Our army is behind us. I advise you to bring the entire village to join us."
Cai Bo stared behind Feng Ziying, but did not notice Luo Feng's army. He muttered to himself: "If we set fire now, we would only burn this part, but we expect that Luo Feng's army has already entered the outskirts of the village."
Cai Bo stood anxiously, making no sound, just waiting for Luo Feng's army to come in again.
Seeing that Cai Bo was silent, Feng Ziying shouted again: "Since you don't want to join, you can only be rude."
After saying that, Feng Ziying raised the three-fork and waved her left hand, "Everyone, follow me and take down Cai Bo in front."
Before he finished speaking, his footsteps were already five meters away.
Seeing Feng Ziying approaching, Cai Bo immediately shouted: "Get the oil barrel."
As soon as the voice fell, several groups of soldiers rolled large oil drums from the side houses and gathered in front of Cai Bo.
Feng Ziying was surprised when she saw these oil drums, and she quickened her pace and rushed forward.
"Roll all the oil barrels over."
Cai Bo gave an order and the oil barrels rolled forward one by one.
Feng Ziying watched the oil barrel roll over, her toes stopped on the ground, and she held a three-pronged prong with both hands to push against the rolling oil barrel. She pushed the oil barrel with her arms, and then rolled the oil barrel back with another force.
"Those oil drums are nothing more than that." Feng Ziying said, looking at the oil drums that rolled back.
Cai Bo saw that it was almost time and it would be too late if he didn't light it, so he ordered people to light all the oil barrels.
One oil barrel was lit and then the next oil barrel was lit. The fire suddenly started and connected into one area, burning the dry grass and dead leaves on the ground.
The fire slowly spread to Feng Ziying's army.
Seeing the fire coming, Feng Ziying shouted: "Don't attack from the front, go around from the side."
Feng Ziying's army began to move sideways, arrived near the house, and circled along the eaves.
"Boom" I saw a flash of fire, and the houses were like fireballs, exploding one by one around Feng Ziying's army. Each ignited house burned most of the surrounding Feng Ziying's army.
Seeing the fire raging into the sky, Feng Ziying panicked. With bursts of screams and the panic of the burned people, Feng Ziying hurriedly shouted: "Get back, everyone, get back."
Looking at the intensity of the fire, many people were retreating. Now that they heard Feng Ziying's order, they retreated faster.
A soldier ran through the fire and ran to Feng Ziying and said: "Battle Commander Feng, the village chief ordered you to retreat immediately."
Before Feng Ziying could reply, a wooden stick that was broken by the fire rolled down from the side of the house.
Feng Ziying raised the three-pronged stick with one hand and struck the burning stick with force, knocking the burning stick away. He said, "Notify the village chief immediately that this place is dangerous and tell him not to come in."
"Yes." The soldier went back immediately.
Feng Ziying summoned the surrounding soldiers and retreated.
Luo Feng was slowly walking forward from behind, when suddenly the sky turned red, accompanied by thick smoke billowing up.
"It seems that a fire has been set in front." Jiang Yuxuan said.
"Has Lu Wenying been to the lake?" Luo Feng couldn't help but ask.
"We've definitely arrived. We should be digging the embankment now, otherwise it will be too late." Jiang Yuxuan said.
Just as he was talking, a soldier from the front ran over and said in a panic: "Village chief, Battalion Commander Feng in front has been surrounded by fire. Battalion Commander Feng told the village chief not to go there because it is dangerous."
Now it seems that it is within the expected range. Luo Feng said: "Yuxuan, I will lead a large group to rush over, and you will lead the army to respond here.".
"Wait a minute," Jiang Yuxuan stopped Luo Feng and said slowly: "Village Chief, if Battalion Commander Feng retreats now, there will be no danger for his life. The village chief can take advantage of the moment and rely on the village chief's personal combat power to lead the brigade. When Lu Wenying was diverting water to put out the fire, he broke through the fire from the side and went straight to the village office."
"Okay," Luo Feng pulled out the Tianming giant sword, "Follow me." He led a large team forward.
Zhang Xinyi, who was beside her, said to Jiang Yuxuan: "I will follow the village chief, Adjutant Jiang, be careful."
"Yes," Jiang Yuxuan nodded lightly, "protect the village chief."
"Don't worry," Zhang Xinyi said, and followed Luo Feng with the red robe team.
The fire burned one house after another quickly towards Jiang Yuxuan, slowly closing in.
As Feng Ziying retreated, he gathered the troops who were retreating in panic. He moved a little slower. Several houses behind him suddenly collapsed, accompanied by fire, blocking the retreat and overwhelming several soldiers.
"Batalion Commander, we can't retreat." The soldiers became even more panicked.
Feng Ziying looked at the fire and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Ziying,"
Not far away, Luo Feng's voice sounded.
"Ziying, lead your army back quickly. Wenying is digging the lake embankment. Water will come soon. Be ready to break out."
"Village chief," Feng Ziying shouted, "Why did you come in? It's dangerous here."
"I'm here only when it's dangerous. I'll kill you from the side later and seize the village office directly."
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he led his troops through the gaps in the fire to the side where the fire was strongest.
"Village chief, the fire here is so strong that we can't get through it," Zhang Xinyi said.
"Everyone, wait," Luo Feng said, "As soon as the embankment on the other side of the lake is opened and water flows down, we will rush out along the current and directly occupy the village office."
"Yes." Several squadron captains around Luo Feng led their squadrons closer to the fire and cleaned up some dry grass to prevent the fire from coming.
Feng Ziying in the middle of the road was surrounded by fire, and the army was panicked. Luo Feng's words stabilized the army's morale.
Feng Ziying commanded the army and approached the fire on the other side of the lake.
"Everyone, listen," Feng Ziying shouted: "Half of the people are holding up the falling fire, and the other half are digging soil for me and pouring the soil on the fire. Although the fire cannot be extinguished, it can stop the fire."
"good."
Feng Ziying's troops began shoveling earth and clearing flammable materials from the edge of the fire.
