The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 814
The charge of tens of thousands of people was extremely majestic, and the crowd of people all over the mountains and plains immediately made Tianhua's three thousand soldiers very nervous.Although they have muskets, how can they withstand so many troops with only two thousand guns?

Soon, as the Tianyun army approached, the muskets began to show off their power, firing row after row, constantly harvesting the crowds in the front row.But when a batch fell down, someone stepped on the corpses and continued to rush forward, not caring about life or death at all.

However, it's not that the Tianyun army is not afraid of life and death, but that the army moves forward and back on this narrow mountain road, and there is no room for anyone to turn back.You can only go with the flow and be constantly pushed forward.

Although the Tianyun army was killed and injured, and howled everywhere, they couldn't stand the crowd.In the end, they slowly approached the Tianhua Army's position, which greatly encouraged the Tianyun Army. The troops in the rear eagerly pushed the people in the front row, moving forward desperately.

At this time, the Tianyun army had no idea that when they climbed up, under their feet, streams of light brown liquid were flowing towards them, and they were trampled and splashed in all directions under their feet. His lower body was covered.

There are also many corpses that have been trampled into pulp, mixed with liquid, flowing down continuously with blood.In this chaotic crowd, no one noticed the abnormality under their feet.

Finally, the Tianyun army has moved to less than 30 meters in front of the formation.Suddenly, a slender tongue of flame spread from the right side of the defense line, and rushed towards the mountain road quickly. Then there was a "boom", and a flame several meters high rose from the mountain road, rushing straight towards the dense crowd.

"Ah! Help!"

"I'm on fire, save me!"

"Get out of the way, the fire is coming!". . . .

The crowd submerged by the fire suddenly let out a tragic howl, and the figures covered in flames were faintly visible in the fire, struggling unceasingly.

The fire continued to spread downwards, which immediately caused everyone to panic, and no one knew where the fire would burn.They rushed down one after another, and many people accidentally fell or were pushed down, and they were immediately overwhelmed by the crowd coming from behind.After a while, half of the mountain road turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Ma Anyang looked at the fire on the mountain with a pale face, trembling all over, this fire burned everyone's morale.

Not long after, the army hurriedly withdrew down the mountain path, looking out of breath at the rising flames and the scorching smell coming down from the mountain, and suddenly vomited.

At this time on the mountain, all the soldiers of the Tianhua Army were also retching, it was too tragic, if this fire went down, I don't know how many people would die.Lin Hai also looked pale, but he didn't regret it. Only in this way can the Tianyun Army's attack be effectively blocked.After this fire, the Tianyun army could no longer attack the mountain.

After Ma Anyang assembled and counted the army, he immediately obtained the specific number of casualties in this battle. There are now less than 3 of the 6000 horses left. In addition to the more than 5000 people who were killed and injured before, this fire burned to death a total of [-] people.

At this moment, the morale of the remaining soldiers and horses fell to the extreme, and they no longer had the courage to fight.Looking at the pitch-black ashes on the mountain road, Ma Anyang had no choice but to lead the remnants out of the mountain and return to the camp.

When Ma Kuiming finished listening to Ma Anyang's report, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.After a long silence, he patted his nephew on the shoulder, "You have already done what you can, and the crime of this war is not your fault. Even I, it is difficult to prevent the opponent's fire attack."

Ma Anyang closed his eyes in pain, and bowed in shame: "Thank you, General, for your comfort, but our army can't conquer Yaoshan, what should we do next?"

Ma Kuiming turned around and looked at Yaoshan, sighed slightly, "Everyone, what's your plan?"

All the generals looked at each other with a sad expression on their faces.After a long time, a general stood up and said, "General, Yaoshan must be taken down. The final general feels that no matter what, we must continue to attack. The opponent only has 3000 troops, so it must not be too much oil. Maybe not this time." There is another danger of being attacked by fire."

Ma Kuiming glanced at him lightly, "This is just your guess, but will the soldiers believe it? There are also those charred corpses on the mountain road. Anyone who goes up there will be shocked and terrified. Let these soldiers who are full of fear Attacking the mountain is tantamount to letting them continue to die."

"General, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Tianyun Army has not yet arrived, and immediately turn around and bypass Yaoshan Mountain?" Another general said immediately.

Ma Kuiming shook his head and sighed: "There's no time. Today, the Chinese army is only ten miles away, and they can arrive in about two hours. What's more, even if we bypass Yaoshan, so what? The Tianhua army goes directly from Yaoshan. If we don’t pass, we can be intercepted by the river, that’s the real situation of ten deaths and no life.”

"General, the only way out now is to fight hard." A burly general said in a deep voice, "Our army will guard Yaoshan Mountain and confront the Tianhua army. As long as Zhang Yijun can repel the Tianhua army, maybe they can come to help .Or if the Fengzhou Eternal Army goes south, it can also cause chaos for the Tianhua Army."

Ma Kuiming nodded slightly, "What General Meng said is quite reasonable. Now that we are in a desperate situation, we can only stand firm and wait for help. However, Zhang Yijun's ability to stop the Tianhua Army has not come easily, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to wait for his reinforcements. As for the Eternal Army, it is also difficult. It is far water that cannot solve the near fire. The only plan now is to ask for help from the capital, let it send troops and horses, attack Yaoshan from the west side, with our army's help, we will be able to take this mountain."

"The general's plan is great, but can we defend the capital until the reinforcements arrive?" A general asked immediately.

"Yaoshan is only two hundred miles away from the capital. If it is fast, it will only take five or six days." Ma Kuiming said in thought, "However, our army needs to send people to detour to Yaoshan to go to the capital. Even if it is cavalry, it will take seven Eight days. Such a round trip would take at least thirteen or four days, and our army should be able to hold on."

"General, this matter will be handled by the last general." Ma Anyang immediately stood up and said.

Ma Kuiming looked at him deeply, and said in a deep voice, "You know that the life and death of our army will depend on this. Can you really complete the mission smoothly?"

"The general will swear to the death to complete the task!" Ma Anyang said loudly, with determination in his eyes.

"Okay, I will leave this matter to you." Ma Kuiming nodded slowly, "I will dispatch three hundred relatives to escort you to the capital. Along the way, you will face the siege and interception of the Tianhua Army, and you will almost die."

"The general will know!" Ma Anyang said in a deep voice, "Please give the general an order."

"Okay, as expected of my Ma family, let's go!" Ma Kuiming nodded happily and laughed.

After Ma Anyang led [-] riders to the north, Ma Kuiming immediately ordered the whole army to station in the mountain, build a defense line on the spot, and prepare to face the Tianhua army.
