The fire broke out.

The entire Jiulong Mountains are illuminated in red.

Qi Gill and Jiang Cong were trapped at the bottom of the valley by wildfires blowing fiercely in the mountains, and were unable to escape for a while.

"Thief Li, you are so cunning. I regret not listening to what Cao Shen said. What should I do?" Qi Yi felt regretful in his heart. He could not steal the chicken but lost the rice. Now he not only failed to steal the chicken, but also lost the rice.

I am afraid that I will not even save my life.

The Qiang people regard fire as their god and worship the fire god Zhurong as their god. Although Jiang Cong is brave, his face turned pale with fright when he saw the fire all over the mountain.

It doesn't matter if you have strength, the feeling of being burned to death is not pleasant.

The soldier Qi who failed to dodge was burned by the fire, screaming and running around. Unexpectedly, the wind helped the fire, making the flames on his body more and more intense. What was even more unbearable was that the burning man did not know the way and saw his companions beside him.

, hurriedly rushed to ask for help, but the two of them were burning together, crying together.

"Quickly retreat!" Qi Yi shouted urgently. In his haste, he had no time to gather his men and horses, and he had no time to worry about the life and death of Jiang Cong who was still in the front. He only took more than a hundred soldiers around him and fled to the back.

Jiulong Pass.

Li Yuan and Meng Hu led 3,000 elite soldiers back from his road and stayed here until Qi Ji's defeated troops fled back. From a distance, they saw the fire that reached the sky and the bursts of tragic sounds coming from Qi's soldiers.

Yelling, Meng Hu couldn't help but show excitement on his face.

"General Li, the fire attack plan has been completed. This time, Qi Jun's ten men and horses were able to escape three of them. Even if they escaped with their lives, they would lose their armor and armor and would not be able to fight." Meng Hu was happy and worried at the same time.

Li Yuan's clever plan opened his eyes, and what Meng Hu admired even more was Li Yuan's persistence in order to win, so to speak, without even giving up face.

Talking about his defeat at the hands of a barbarian general would have a great impact on Li Yuan's reputation. In an era when information was not developed and spread rumors, Li Yuan started talking about it even if he wanted to defend himself.

Unknowingly, Meng Hu began to consider the problem from Li Yuan's perspective. Perhaps he himself was not aware of this change.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. A poor enemy can do amazing things. Lieutenant Meng, you quickly lead your border troops to block the pass and don't let a single enemy soldier escape." Li Yuan said solemnly.

"Thank you, General, for the suggestion." Meng Hu nodded in agreement.

"Marquis Li Jun, you will lead your troops to cooperate with the border troops in fighting, and obey the command of Lieutenant Meng." Li Yuan ordered.

"No!" Li Bi took the order and left.

"Marquis Bai Jun, General Cao Tun, you and your troops will follow me and attack the enemy camp outside Chencang." Li Yuan decided to go all out, not only to allow Qi Gill's pursuing troops to come and go, but also to allow his remaining troops to return.

Swallow them together.

Victory is not far away.

Compared with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Qi Jifa's victory was just the bottom of Li Yuan's many achievements, so he really shouldn't be overjoyed.

In front of Jiulong Mountain Pass.

Wang Shang had already ordered his soldiers to block the crossing. There was only a narrow gap left where Li Yuan led his army just now. Now that the gap is blocked and the heat of the pile of fuel is burning, even if Qi Jun wants to open it,

Notch is also impossible.

Jiang Cong had abandoned his war horse, abandoned his brocade robe, and taken off all the things that made him feel cumbersome. He only held the sharp ring-headed sword in his hand, and he rushed left and right in the chaos. He died in his hands.

There were more than 20 Qi soldiers on board.

"Thieves, please leave. I'll take a stab from Grandpa Jiang."

Jiang Cong was still talking nonsense, and the weakness from overexertion gradually came over him. Although his eyes were wide open, there were stars in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly which direction to escape.

Qi Gill ran away first.

This shameless villain didn't want to think about who saved him just now, nor did he want to scream.

Jiang Cong's anger and blood surged, and his resentment towards Qi Gill doubled, and his men showed no mercy. The soldiers who were killed by him for no reason were so anxious that they no longer cared about who Jiang Cong was.

For a time, in the narrow valley, illuminated by the fire, Qi's army began to kill each other while running for their lives.

Qi Yi's ability to escape is indeed well-founded.

While Jiang Cong was still in the front army, he had already rushed across more than a mile and arrived not far from the pass. A ray of skylight appeared in front of him, giving him a feeling of exhaustion as if he had narrowly escaped death.

"Marquis Qi, are there enemy soldiers in front?" one of his followers screamed.

"Charge over." Qi Gill almost didn't look back and rushed towards the Qin border army's defensive formation at the pass regardless of everything. Qi's soldiers who had finally escaped from the fire gathered together in a noisy manner.

,At this time, any formation and cover have become empty words.

"Shoot!"

Meng Hu suppressed his excitement and shouted in a deep voice. Li Yuan gave himself the great credit for intercepting Qi Jun's deserters. If this cheap thing failed, then he, Meng Hu, really wouldn't have to hang out in the army.

Already.

There were more than 400 frontier troops in front, and Li Bi's 1,000 soldiers were behind, including more than 500 crossbowmen. Hearing Meng Hu's command from the front, Li Bi, who was commanding from behind, ordered the crossbowmen to line up in three groups and began to charge towards them.

The fleeing soldiers of the Qi army who came over shot him.

"Porphyrin!"

The arrow entered the chest with such strong force that the soldier Qi who was hit by the arrow roared and fell to the ground.

"Oops!" Without their red coats and soft armor to resist, the Qi Army generals, who were naked, became the targets of Li Yuan's crossbowmen just like ordinary soldiers.

With his hair disheveled, Qi Gill finally reached Meng Hu's frontier army under the cover of his followers. At this time, General Qi only had a pitiful three or five people left with him.

"Behead the thief Qi and present it to General Li!" Meng Hu looked at Qi Gill coldly, as if he were looking at a dead person.

Meng Hu had always looked down upon the traitors in the army. Even if a man and his husband were in dire straits, they would still face the enemy and fall down. It was unforgivable to lay down their weapons and surrender, and it was even more deserving of death for aiding the tyrants.

Qi Gill is dead!

He was almost naked, and was cut into pieces by five horses by four or six border soldiers who rushed up. Each of them took a piece. His fame and fortune were all reduced to dust for a moment.

In the narrow valley, Jiang Cong, the brave general of the Qiang people, had been burned into a pile of coke. The only thing that could identify his identity was the long sword with a ring at his side.

The sword's glow remains the same, and its edge is dazzling.

Just waiting for the next owner to let it shine again.

Outside Chencang City, at the Qi Army camp, Wang Ling who stayed behind was being attacked by Li Yuan and Wang Shang. The fire on Jiulong Mountain made the soldiers of Wang Ling Army dozens of miles away see clearly, and they knew something was wrong.

Major General Wang Lingbing was weak and did not dare to leave the camp to rescue him. Before he could figure out what to do next, Li Yuan's army had already arrived.

The one-eyed warrior Cao Xin took the lead and led a team of soldiers to storm the fortress. In the battle of Leyouyuan in Xianyang, he was swept off his horse by Wu Liyun, the general from Lou Fan. Cao Xin recovered from his injuries for about two months, thanks to his youth and strength.
