As night fell, teams of Qinghe army cavalry armed with torches left the camp and headed straight for the wild wolf forest not far away.
Fatty Lu, the head of the Ninth Banner, wanted to set fire to the forest. Although Lei Ming, the deputy head of the Banner, felt that the fire would spread uncontrollably and burn this area to nothing.
But Fatty Lu had already made up his mind, and Lei Ming's persuasion was directly ineffective, so he could only watch and ordered the forest to be set on fire.
Crackling torches were burning, and the cavalry of the Qinghe Army galloped to the edge of the forest.
"What are they doing?"
Seeing these Qinghe army cavalry approaching with torches, some militia scouts hiding in the darkness were confused.
"They're going to set fire!"
When they saw the cavalry of the Qinghe Army throwing their torches into the dark forest, their expressions changed immediately.
The wild wolf forest has towering ancient trees and rich vegetation. The ground has been covered with a thick layer of dead branches and rotten leaves due to the precipitation over the years.
Now when it encounters sparks, it ignites immediately and quickly, and then spreads and burns towards the surrounding area.
In just a moment, a raging fire was burning at the edge of the forest, and the orange-red flames reflected the night sky red.
"Quick, go and report to His Royal Highness King Ning!"
Seeing the fire rapidly engulfing the forest, those stunned militia scouts quickly reacted.
Their more than 70,000 troops are hiding in the forest. Once the fire burns, they will all be burned to ashes.
The scouts of the civilian army panicked and ran towards the depths of the forest. Behind them, under the blowing of the night wind, the fire was crackling and burning, billowing thick smoke straight into the sky.
"Let the brothers open their eyes wide, come out and kill one by one."
The roiling heat wave came head-on, scorching Fatty Lu's cheeks hot, and his voice was full of excitement.
Although this big fire might burn up the wild wolf forest with a radius of a hundred miles, he didn't care, he just wanted to force the enemy out of the forest.
As long as the enemies in the forest are forced out by the fire, there are 20,000 elite cavalry armed to the teeth outside them, and they can be wiped out like melons and vegetables.
Fatty Lu didn't use any tricks, but an upright conspiracy, and the imperial court troops hiding in the forest had no choice but to flee the forest in the face of the rapidly spreading fire.
"His Royal Highness Ning Wang, His Royal Highness Ning Wang, it's not good, it's on fire!"
In a military tent deep in the forest, King Ning, who was soundly sleeping, was awakened by a hurried voice.
"What's going on with the noise, could it be that the cavalry of the bandit army entered the forest?!"
King Ning was woken up from his sleep, his face was full of displeasure, and his tone was a little angry.
"No, it's not that the bandit cavalry entered the forest, but they set fire to it¡ª" a scout said anxiously.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, look over there."
The scouts couldn't explain clearly even though they were in a hurry, so they pointed to the outer direction of the forest and asked King Ning to see it himself.
King Ning looked in the direction of the scouts' fingers, and the sky in the distance was red, which was extraordinarily dazzling in the dark night.
"The bandit army is trying to burn us to death." The scout soldier explained.
King Ning stared at the red sky in the distance, and his complexion became extremely ugly.
They thought they were hiding in the forest, and the cavalry of the Qinghe Army would have nothing to do with them.
As long as their cavalry unit arrives, they can go out directly and kill the Qinghe army by surprise.
But what I didn't expect was that before their cavalry troops arrived to join them, the Qinghe army had already discovered them and wanted to set fire to the forest.
"His Royal Highness, what shall we do now?"
Several generals were also woken up. Looking at the fire in the distance, they were all confused, and turned their eyes to the disheveled King Ning.
"What else can I do, the fire will burn up soon, should I stay here and wait to die?!" King Ning said angrily.
"Send my military order to evacuate the forest immediately!"
Water and fire are ruthless, and there are many years of dead branches and rotten leaves accumulated in the wild wolf forest. Once the fire comes, they will all be burned to ashes.
King Ning ordered troops to attack the Qinghe army, and the purpose was to reap some benefits. He didn't want to be burned to ashes here.
"His Royal Highness King Ning has an order to evacuate immediately.Lin! "
"His Royal Highness King Ning has an order to evacuate the forest immediately!"
The voices of the messengers soon rang out one after another in the dark forest.
The more than 70,000 soldiers and horses who set up their tents in the forest were also awakened from their sleep. Seeing the fire in the distance, they hurriedly packed their things and prepared to evacuate.
These soldiers and horses all drove into the forest through the forest path, but now the fire is burning from that direction, so naturally they can't leave.
And if you go deep into the forest, you will become more and more desolate, and eventually you will have nowhere to go.
"Retreat from the west!"
Originally, the forest was a good cover for King Ning's troops, but now they found that it was just a cage.
The fire blocked the way out. In the dark night, they had to overcome thorns and thorns, and opened another passage to retreat.
Countless soldiers brandished their weapons to chop the thorns to open the way. In the distance, the fire was rapidly approaching.
More than 70,000 soldiers and horses crowded in the dark forest, panic and anxiety filled everyone's heart.
The key point is that the house leaked and it rained all night. When King Ning commanded the troops to split through the thorns and try to make a way out of the forest, the soldiers holding the torches accidentally ignited the dead leaves around them.
Before the fire in the distance came over, they ignited the fire first.
"Quickly put out the fire!"
Seeing that one of their own people had accidentally ignited the fire, an officer rushed over cursing and led others to try to put out the fire.
In this forest full of dead branches and rotten leaves, once a fire is ignited, it is not easy to extinguish it.
"Boom!"
Hundreds of soldiers gathered around to put out the fire. Just as they were struggling to beat the flames with branches, there was a sudden bang, and the fire exploded, engulfing hundreds of soldiers immediately.
The dead branches and rotten leaves have accumulated for too long and thickly, and some flammable gases have been formed.
When these flammable gases encountered a fire, they exploded directly, swallowing hundreds of soldiers who were fighting the fire.
Watching hundreds of soldiers suddenly being engulfed by flames, the bright light of the explosion stunned the surrounding soldiers.
"The gods are angry, run away!"
No one can explain the sudden explosion, and no one knows who shouted in the dark night. The originally well-organized soldiers suddenly scatter towards the surroundings like frightened rabbits.
These soldiers and officers couldn't care less about opening the way, they ran around in the dark, there was noise and chaos everywhere, and many people were trampled to death abruptly.
King Ning took a lot of effort to calm down the chaotic team, but the fire in the distance has already forced them. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
