Mi Han

Chapter 448
When the hundreds of rockets fired rapidly towards their own formation, thousands of Wei Jun did not feel flustered.

They are well-trained and experienced great Wei Tianbing.

Thousands of generals in the Wei army shouted orders almost immediately.

And when those voice commands spread throughout the phalanx of thousands of Wei troops, thousands of Wei troops who had already prepared themselves raised their shields and placed them above their heads.

Thousands of Wei soldiers firmly believed that shields wrapped in raw cowhide could easily block the flames falling from the sky for them.

Guo Huai and the other Wei generals who saw this scene also firmly believed in this.

When hundreds of loose rockets fell into the phalanx of thousands of Wei soldiers, only a part of them hit the shields held high in the hands of Wei soldiers.

And when those rockets touched the shield in Wei Jun's hand, they fell straight to the ground like a powerless kite in an instant.

Originally, when the matter developed to this point, everything did not exceed Wei Jun's expectations.

It is a pity that a fatal accident is about to sweep over thousands of Wei Jun.

Among the hundreds of rockets, many directly crossed the gap between Wei Jun's shield wall and landed on the ground due to accuracy problems.

According to common sense, when the arrow with the flame touches the ground, the flame on the arrow will automatically go out in a short time.

After all, the technology of extracting kerosene in this era is still very backward, and the flammability of low-purity kerosene is not very good.

But when the flame that was supposed to disappear touched the stone grease flowing under Wei Jun's feet, a huge change happened that no Wei Jun had expected.

What happens when oil meets fire?
Almost instantly, many strands of fire that seemed to emerge from hell rose up under the feet of all the Wei soldiers.

This scene was beyond the knowledge of all Wei Jun.

Therefore, when many fires suddenly ignited violently on the ground and climbed towards them at an extremely fast speed, many Wei Jun were still a little overwhelmed by the scene in front of them.

But then the severe pain that came from them made thousands of Wei Jun regain their senses all at once.

After regaining their senses, many Wei soldiers began to flee around the mountain road relying on their survival instincts.

Some Wei Jun who ran fast took the lead in escaping from the center of the raging fire, and then they quickly fell to the ground and kept rolling, trying to extinguish the raging fire on their bodies.

Unfortunately, this method does not work for fires caused by oil.

After the bottles and cans thrown by the Han army just now burst on the ground, it was inevitable that most of the Wei soldiers present were contaminated with some oil.

Although there are only a few, it is enough.

Many Wei Jun who rolled on the ground found that not only did their rolling not extinguish the flames on their bodies, but on the contrary, because of the continuous turning of the air, they further ignited the flames on their bodies.

It didn't take long, just a few breaths later, the more violent fire engulfed all the Wei troops in an instant.

The sizzling sound coupled with the wails of countless Wei soldiers continued to resound in the deep Gushan mountain road.

In addition to this scalp-numbing sound, bursts of burning smell were also blown by the breeze, drifting towards the surroundings.

When bursts of burning smell wafted into the noses of the Han and Wei armies, many people's bodies naturally had a nausea reaction.

The charred ones were not animal flesh, but living people!

And all of this, in the eyes of others, happened almost in an instant.

In the last moment, the Wei army was still arrogant and arrogant to win the Han army's camp.

At this moment, Wei Jun was tormenting in the boundless fire like roasted chickens.

Because all this happened too fast and too unreasonable, after seeing all this, Guo Huai seemed a little sluggish.

What is that black paste?
For the first time, fear emerged in Guo Huai's heart.

Because of the fear in his heart, what Guo Huai didn't notice was that at some time, the drumstick in his hand fell heavily to the ground because of his weakness.

When the heavy drumstick fell on the table under Guo Huai's feet, there was a heavy muffled sound.

The muffled sound was like Wei Jun's dirge at the moment, constantly invading the hearts of the other generals on the nest car.

How could they not be afraid of what Guo Huai was afraid of?
Originally, they gathered together with Guo Huai on the nest cart today to watch how brave their tiger fighters are.

But now it turned into them watching how their own son was attacked by the raging fire.

How sad and sad this is!
However, Guo Huai is indeed a person who has seen the big world. He was the first one among Wei Jiang on the nest car to react.

He saw that there were still many Wei soldiers calling for help in the raging fire in Gushan Road, so he issued an order decisively:
"Save, save with water!"

Even if it takes countless amounts of water, use water to pour out an escape route for the surviving Wei Jun!
Because the Wei army in the mountain road at this moment are all elite soldiers.

Guo Huai's order was quickly spread to the bottom. Immediately after receiving Guo Huai's order, the general commanded the auxiliary soldiers to push the carts filled with water to the mountain road.

There are nearly 10 people living in Guo Huai's camp, and the water resources in his camp are of course very rich.

It's just that when the cars loaded with buckets entered the mountain road, the advancing auxiliary soldiers soon discovered that they had no way to move on.

At this time, the raging fire almost completely enveloped the area where thousands of Wei troops were located just now.

The boiling flames illuminated the originally deep mountain path extremely brightly.

Similarly, Shandao also looked very dry and hot at this moment.

It was as if the scorching sun from the sky had fallen into this mountain path.

Such a dangerous environment, where can people get involved?
In desperation, the captain who commanded the auxiliary soldiers had no choice but to ask the auxiliary soldiers to pour water on the periphery first.

What the captain thought was that when the fire on the outside was extinguished by water, he was directing the auxiliary soldiers to push the water tanker step by step.

What the captain didn't expect was that when a large amount of water was poured on the flames on the ground, not only were those flames not extinguished, but they burned even more vigorously as if they had been assisted!

Almost everyone knows that water and fire are incompatible with each other. In the past, no matter how raging the flames were, as long as there was a lot of water, they could always be extinguished.

But now?

The water he brought didn't put out the fire, but instead fueled the fire. This was enough to destroy the scene of Sanguan, and the captain's mentality exploded directly.

When people in the world encounter things that cannot be explained by common sense, they usually think about ghosts and gods.

At this time, the captain felt that the fire in front of him was not the fire of the mortal world, but released by the gods.

Thinking of this, the fear in the lieutenant's heart invaded his reason, without thinking about it, he left a group of auxiliary soldiers and ran towards the rear camp.

After the captain fled, the auxiliary soldiers were no longer under the control of anyone, and they all dispersed in a hurry, fleeing toward the rear like desperately.

So not long after, Guo Huai's plan to save his army failed completely.

Guo Huai, who was standing high on the nest cart, saw this strange scene without the captain reporting back.

Not only he saw it, but all the Wei generals behind him also saw it.

After seeing this scene, most of the people on the nest car had the same thoughts as that of Wei Jun Xiaowei.

Could it be that God has not abandoned the Han Dynasty, and the Han army really got the help of the gods?
As soon as this idea came to mind, many Wei Jun couldn't help being startled.

If so, what about them?
At this moment, Wei Jun in the mountain road was physically attacked by the fire.

And these Wei generals on the nest car also seemed to have a wildfire in their hearts, which was constantly tormenting their hearts.

Guo Huai quickly noticed the abnormality of the Wei generals.

By judging others by himself, Guo Huai guessed what these Wei generals were thinking at this time.

God is still on the side of the Han Dynasty?
Guo Huai didn't believe in this idea at all.

If this is the case, why didn't the heavens send down a thunderbolt and strike them dead when the first emperor became the king and now the emperor is the emperor?

If there really are ghosts and gods overlooking the living beings in the world, then for thousands of years, there have been constant wars in China, and countless people have been killed or injured. Why don't they take action to stabilize the situation?

Zibu said strange powers and confused gods. Since saints are not superstitious about ghosts and gods, how could Guo Huai, a Confucian student, believe in them?

Guo Huai only believes in humanity!
Guo Huai knew that the reason why all kinds of weird things happened today was not because of the illusory ghosts and gods, but because of the ointment he had never seen before.

The world is full of wonders, and there is a kind of flammable substance that he has never seen before, so what is so strange about it.

It's just that the emotions of the subordinates also need to be appeased, otherwise, if they are allowed to think wildly, the morale of the army will be affected.

"If the Han army is really assisted by gods, why does Ma Chao risk the great threat to guard the important road of Gushan?
Isn't it normal to wipe out our army directly with the power of ghosts and gods? "

When Guo Huai's words spread throughout the nest car, all the Wei generals in the nest car were awakened by Guo Huai's words.

This reason is very simple, but just now all the Wei generals did not expect this because they were afraid of being fans of the authorities.

Now when someone wakes them up, they all dispel the panic in their hearts.

After regaining their composure, General Wei soon stepped forward and asked Guo Huai what they should do next.

How to do?
Hearing this question, Guo Huai felt an unknown fire in his heart.

What else to do, if you don't retreat at this time, should you continue to send regular soldiers in to die?
Guo Huai looked at the distorted area that was faintly burned by the flames in the distance, and he knew that the thousands of Wei troops in that area could not be rescued.

After knowing this, Guo Huai decisively issued an order for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Since he couldn't save him, Guo Huai wouldn't waste any more energy trying to save him.

But after giving the order, heartache and anger inevitably appeared in General Guo's heart.

Before even touching the camp wall of the Han army, thousands of soldiers were lost.

This loss is not insignificant.

Most importantly, this loss is a strong proof that Ma Chao has broken the dilemma he set up.

Ma Mengqi, I really have you!
After Ming Jin withdrew his troops in the Wei army's camp, another order from Guo Huai spread throughout the army soon after.

The whole army retreated three miles!

Who knows if the weird demon fire will use the wind to burn all the way to our own camp?
Before finding out the origin of the cream-like strange thing, it is always right to be cautious.

Standing on the wall of the camp, Ma Chao watched with calm eyes the thousands of Wei troops being engulfed by the continuous fire.

Not long after, the wailing of thousands of Wei troops gradually stopped.

Under such flames, it is impossible for one of the thousands of Wei soldiers to survive.

Thousands of Wei troops were easily destroyed in just one battle, such a result is remarkable.

But there was no joy in Ma Chao's eyes, and of course he was not like Guo Huai, who had regrets and pain in his heart.

After all, those who were devoured by the raging fire were all his enemies.

At this moment, Ma Chao remembered that many auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army who also died in that area yesterday.

Different identities, but in the same place, got the same end.

Thinking about it, it's quite ironic.

The paste that he asked the Han army to throw just now is called Shizhi in some places in Liangzhou.

Stone grease is a natural creation between heaven and earth. They float on the surface of water and are very flammable.

People in some places in Liangzhou often use stone resin as a simple lighting object.

It's just that because stone resin is not easy to collect, few people in Liangzhou know about it.

Even though Ma Chao's family had lived in Liangzhou for hundreds of years and their influence in Liangzhou was deeply rooted, he also heard about it by accident.

At that time, Ma Chao was undecided. After hearing about it, he felt that this thing was quite miraculous, so he ordered someone to collect some.

I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

However, it was Ma Dai who suggested that he use the stone resin as kerosene. Without Ma Dai's reminder, he would not have won today's victory.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao planned to write a battle report to Mi Yang, informing Mi Yang of Ma Dai's performance in this battle.

If Ma Dai can get Mi Yang's appreciation, Ma Dai will have a solid backer among the big men in the future.

Of course, if you want to mention Ma Dai's contribution, you have to mention the existence of Shizhi to Mi Yang.

After all, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ma Chao would not have believed that Shizhi would produce such a powerful power when it met an open flame.

However, Ma Chao felt that Mi Yang would not be interested in such items as Shizhi. After being a famous family, Mi Yang should not wait to see these strange skills.

After seeing that Wei Jun had no other changes, Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to stay on the camp wall, and then he walked down the camp wall by himself.

The Liangzhou Army on the camp wall watched Ma Chao leave with adoring eyes.

It was Ma Chao who led them to another victory just now.

Two consecutive victories were enough for Ma Chao to establish his own prestige in the hearts of the Liangzhou army.

But just after Ma Chao returned to his big tent, he got a piece of bad news.

Mi Yang's messenger has arrived.

The reason why Ma Chao felt that the arrival of Mi Yang's envoy was not a good thing was because he knew that Mi Yang would not send an envoy if nothing happened.

Especially when he didn't report any battle situation.

The sudden arrival of Mi Yang's emissary must be because he led the army into Wudu County, and Zhang Ni played to Mi Yang.

Will Mi Yang agree with his actions?

Ma Chao is not confident.

After all, closeness is different, Zhang Ni is Mi Yang's confidant, and Mi Yang must believe Zhang Ni's words more emotionally.

If Mi Yang felt dissatisfied with Zhang Yi because of Zhang Ni's performance.
Under heavy worry, Ma Chao summoned Mi Yang's envoy.

The messenger is Lu Yi.

Well, Lu Yi was one of the people under Mi Yang's command who looked down on Ma Chao the most.

Seeing that it was the upright gentleman Lu Yi who arrived, Ma Chao became more and more worried.

His past almost made him a thorn in the side of every gentleman in the world.

Mi Yang's attitude seemed obvious.
