C2879 Burning the Mountains

Facing the general's sneer, the strategist under Zhu Jin began to sigh softly, his voice full of worry.

The generals continued to laugh, "Haha, so what if we don't enter the mountain? We are stuck here, and we have lost King Yunjiang to stabilize the situation in Wuxi County. I would like to see if Wuxi County can still be stabilized! "

"Before that, we'll die first." The strategist took a look and said softly.

Zhu Jin frowned slightly. "Why do you say so?"

The strategist was silent for a moment before he sighed softly. Compared to the rebel army, we have no way out. ... The three armies did not move, so the grain was first. However, our grain could not be replenished three days ago."

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed.

Not long after, Zhu Jin's eyes revealed a cold look. "Damn it, the speed of our troops was too fast, so the grain road wasn't suitable for marching. ... Calculating the time, Yes. "

The strategist's expression was not good either. "We did not expect the rebels to hide in the mountains. ... We could hold on for half a month, but in Wuxi County, even if Jiang Ting was not there to take charge, Jiang Ting's trusted aides would personally handle the government affairs. At least within three months, Wuxi County would not be in chaos."

Zhu Jin's expression became more and more gloomy. "Send scouts into the mountain."

...

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, the Zhao army had been sending scouts into the mountains.

However, if their scouts entered the mountains, they would be killed.

If any of the scouts were lucky enough to come back alive, the reports would be that Jiang Ting's army had used the forest to hide. It was obvious that they had set up an ambush in the forest.

As for the Zhao army... Hmm, it was not chaotic. After all, they did not lack grain for the time being.

Another day at noon.

Zhu Jin looked at the mountain range and felt rather furious... If it was a direct confrontation, even if he lost, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, his skills weren't as good as others.

But... Jiang Ting actually engaged in guerilla warfare with them in the mountain forest.

It was infuriating!

It was truly infuriating!

"The rebel army is cooking again." A few strategists approached Zhu Jin.

They could see that in the mountain range, there were a lot of smoke coming out.

Zhu Jin cursed in her heart, "Damned rebel army."

"There are still ten days of grain left."

After a pause, a strategist whispered: "We can't delay any longer... The rebel army is currently hidden in the forest. If we want to eliminate them, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Another strategist spoke. "It's an open conspiracy. The rebel army is an open and aboveboard conspiracy. They are certain that we don't have any food supplies, so we can't waste them. If not, they probably wouldn't have entered the mountain so decisively."

When Zhu Jin heard this, she felt a headache coming on.

After a long while, she opened her mouth and said, "Lead the army into the mountain, how about it?"

This place instantly became silent.

After a long time, the strategist said, "The scouts saw traces of the rebels in the mountains. ... If we enter the mountain, I'm afraid we'll be facing two rebel armies."

Not entering the mountain?

After a moment of silence, Zhu Jin opened her mouth: "Recruit the scouts and let them have their fill tonight. Tomorrow, enter the mountain! "

The strategists glanced at each other, and their expressions became hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhu Jin sneered, "What you said, This is an open scheme... If we continue to waste our resources, once we lose our grain, our bodies will become weak and weak. At that time, the rebel army might not be able to stop us even if they send out ten thousand men to kill us!"

Actually, he did not want to enter the mountain at all. However, they had to enter the mountain. If not, the army would starve to death sooner or later.

...

The next day.

Under the lead of Zhu Jin, the army that was full of food and drinks entered the mountain in a grandiose manner.

Of course, he was not foolish enough to enter the mountain at the same time. Instead, he first sent the former army into the mountain. After that, the former army encountered a violent attack.

...

Within the Iron Dragon Pass, at the edge of the mountain range.

Jiang Ting brought a few people with him and hid in the dark. They stood at a high altitude and watched the movements of Zhu Jin's army. A smile appeared on their faces.

It had been five days. He originally thought that Zhu Jin would enter the mountain in three days at most. She would dawdle for a full five days before entering the mountain on the sixth day.

Chu Bai revealed an excited expression. "I'm afraid Zhu Jin would never have thought that we would allow more than half of Ke Yang's soldiers to change into our uniforms."

"Indeed, when his front troops are attacked, he will not doubt anything. He will order the entire army to enter the mountain..."

After a pause, the corner of Jiang Ting's mouth rose. "This battle should be over. Send my orders. Prepare for arson at any time. After that, surround the nearby Zhao army and send them on their way."

"Yes, my lord!" Chu Bai retreated.

After an hour or so, under Jiang Ting's gaze, Zhu Jin's army entered the mountains in a mighty manner, and rushed madly towards Ke Yang's army.

After that...

The smoke of wolves rose in all directions, and countless fiery lights appeared in all four directions of the mountain range at the same time.

In less than thirty breaths of time, the flames merged together, and the mountain next to Iron Dragon Pass turned into a boundless sea of fire.

If he had been closer, Jiang Ting might have been able to hear some screams. Unfortunately, he didn't go over, so he could only see the sea of fire.

When the fire started, he knew that the dust had settled.

...

In the mountain range.

The two sides who were still fighting raised their heads at the same time. They saw that the surroundings were filled with flames. At the same time, there were so many flames appearing... It was impossible for there to be a fire. It could only be that someone had intentionally set the mountain on fire!

"It's on fire..."

"Damn the rebel army... Have they gone crazy? There are still rebel comrades here..."

"No... I'm not the Jiang army. Damned Duke Yun Jiang, aren't you afraid that my king will be enraged by your actions?!"

"Run, the rebels are burning the mountain..."

Countless roars began to spread.2

Due to the appearance of the sea of fire, both sides no longer had any interest in fighting. All of them ran for their lives in the forest, heading in the direction of the heart of the forest. The sea of fire began to spread from the outer region. Now, the only direction they could escape to was the depths of the forest.

Unfortunately... the sea of fire was merciless. Mortal magic, who could resist the sea of flames?

This great flame burned for half a month. Wherever the flame passed, everything was burned to ashes. The originally lush mountain range, under the great flame, was now only left with a pitch-black mountain peak.

...

Iron Dragon Pass.

"Plop plop plop..." A storm was raging.

Jiang Ting stood on top of the city wall, holding a Tong Oil Umbrella. He looked at the mountain range in the distance and sighed. "It is indeed not a good thing to set the mountain on fire."

That fire burned ten thousand of Ke Yang's soldiers to death, and even all of Zhao Jun's soldiers to death.

Originally, he had sent thousands of people to cut down the trees on the other side of the fire. It was to prevent the forest fire from spreading unrestrainedly.

Unexpectedly, his methods were useless. After the mountain range was completely burned up, many of the people he had sent to stop it were burned to death and even began to spread greatly.

However, the luckier thing was that after being burned for a long time, it suddenly began to rain. The storm extinguished the fire. If not, Jiang Ting felt that the fire he set off might burn the entire Golden Peace Mountain Range.

"King, I have already sent the news to the Sun Zhenyang King as you instructed."

Following his words, Chu Bai approached with an umbrella and respectfully said, "The hundred thousand soldiers of the State of Zhao were all killed this time. I think the Zhao Country will not be able to fight for a short period of time."

Jiang Ting retracted his gaze. "Then let's go back. Now that Wuxi County has fallen into my hands, I will let the craftsmen accept all kinds of mineral veins, weapons, armors, and other things to speed up the forging process."
