    Chapter 26: Set fire to the mountain

    In the lobby of Shenmu City, General Pasler, the deputy to the commander of the main force of the Second Army, seriously suggested: "Lord Commander, I think the Elant army must not be familiar with the terrain when they first come to Shenmu City. We can send troops to sneak attack them late at night."

    "Inappropriate!" Blair glanced at Boumishio and said seriously to Pasler: "No one can see anyone in the dark night. Our orders cannot be conveyed to subordinate troops at all. The march in the late autumn night is also very difficult.  It¡¯s a problem, and General Bumisxiu¡¯s sneak attack on them has already failed once, Yi Liuyun must be wary, if we go out, we will definitely lose more than we gain.¡±

    "Then what do you think we should do?"

    Pasler blushed and said, "We can't just watch the enemy arrive and remain indifferent!"

    Blair stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked around the table and said, "Let's do this! We send infantry to set fire to the nearby mountains and forests late at night, and collect the vegetable fields and fruit trees outside the city, leaving no resources for them."

    "good!"

    ¡°That¡¯s what we should do.¡± Bratty clapped his hands and said.

    "Um!"

    Several people nodded and dispatched their subordinates respectively.  After hearing these strange attentions, many soldiers in Shenmu City who were preparing to take a rest complained incessantly and headed out of the city with torches and tools driven by the officers.

    At midnight, groups of soldiers from the Second Legion, led by officers, ran towards the vegetable fields and farmland outside Shenmu City to destroy them. Some of them held torches and headed eastward.  place on fire.

    In late autumn and early winter, the world is filled with a cold and desolate atmosphere. Many trees have fallen off their leaves, and many grasses and small trees have become bare with only their trunks left.  Numerous dead grass and dead branches are natural fuels. In this case, some soldiers with a violent nature excitedly took torches and lit the dead grass and branches.

    "Set fire!"

    "It's set on fire!"

    "Ha ha!"

    ¡°It¡¯s so cool to light a fire!¡±

    To the east of Shenmu City, a young man with a thin, flexible body and a monkeyish air had just climbed up the mountain above the Eastern Stairs, and couldn't help but burn the small trees and dead grass next to him with the torch in his hand.

    "Monkey! What are you doing? Why don't you go faster!" The team leader on the ramp looked at the first soldier waiting to go up the mountain strangely, and shouted his nickname loudly.

    The young man nicknamed Monkey turned around excitedly and said, "Captain, I'm setting fire!"

    "Holy crap! You set fire to the front! Don't block the road, remember to surround the withered grass where there are many trees, and then light it." The team leader suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the lit withered grass beside the avenue and cursed.

    "Holy shit, what are you doing?"

    "Don't set fire to the grass and small trees beside our road. This will inhale the brothers behind us."

    "You guys, hurry up and put out the fire."

    The squad leader pointed at the people behind him and said.

    "yes!"

    The soldier who was pointed out by the team leader looked unlucky and went to beat the flames with a wooden stick and a shovel.

    At the same time, the soldiers of the Second Legion running upward from different paths started setting fires without planning.  Although some officers saw the danger and worked hard to prevent some dangerous actions, some people still set fires indiscriminately.

    The place where Shenmu City is located is a large basin, and the ground itself is one to two hundred meters lower than the surrounding area.  A breeze finally blew up in the black wilderness.

    The breeze blows the woods and weeds from top to bottom, which makes the slow-burning flames suddenly become fierce, and many weeds burn under the blowing of the wind.

    The burning power on the ground brings uneven heat. The consequences of the unevenness bring about the instinctive recovery of air pressure, and more powerful wind blows from the highlands in the east to the lowlands in the west gate.

    "on fire!"

    "The weeds and groves on our hillsides are on fire."

    "Oops! Our road is about to be burned by flames."

    "A sneeze!"

    "My eyes are covered in smoke, what should I do?"

    "ah!"

    "Help!"

    "My clothes have been blown by the flames. Help me put out the flames quickly!"

    ¡­¡­

    Many panicked voices were heard, and the more than 2,000 people sent to set fire to the east area were as close as one-seventh, and the flames that had just been lit caused major trouble.

    Boom!

    Whoosh!Whoosh!

    ¡­¡­

    More powerful winds appeared from the east or west, blowing the burning branches and weeds.  At this time, flames appeared within three kilometers of the four-kilometer-long area.

    Huge clouds of dust, smoke and fire were blown by the wind and burned indiscriminately in all directions. Many soldiers of the Second Legion were scalded, burned and blown by the flames.

    The damage caused by the flames was minimal, only dozens of people were injured, but the thick smoke and dust brought by the east were the most troublesome.  From top to bottom, a full three to five hundred people were affected by the smoke, and this number will increase and increase as time goes by.

    "quick!"

    "quick!"

    "Hurry up and put out the fire."

    "How to destroy it!"

    "We have no water!"

    A centurion shouted with a frown: "Everyone, hurry up and dig a ditch. Dig out a three-meter-wide isolation strip out of withered grass and branches to prevent the flames from burning towards us."

    "yes!"

    "It makes sense!"

    "kindness!"

    The soldiers who were smoked by the flames patted their heads and thought for a while, nodded in admiration, and acted quickly. A small team organized and dug isolation belts of different sizes along the terrain.

    However, the actions of some people were still unable to stop the spread of the fire. The bigger and bigger flames brought stronger winds. In less than 20 minutes, the ferocious group was burning down the hillside. There were only a few people on the hillside.  There was no fire where part of the barrier was dug.

    Huge plumes of smoke and fire covered an area of ??five to six square kilometers east of Shenmu City.

    "ah!"

    "Poof!"

    "A sneeze!"

    "Centurion, we can't stand it anymore. The fireworks are getting bigger and bigger. If we don't leave, we will really be smoked to death."

    "Oops! The fire is spreading downward."

    ¡­¡­

    The relentless flames grilled and smoked the soldiers on the mountain. The soldiers on the mountainside, and the many teams that continued to move forward under the orders of the officers finally panicked.

    The growing flames made it impossible for the soldiers to withstand the pressure, and many soldiers who could not stand the smoke ran downwards.

    "Run quickly!"

    "Run quickly!"

    "Run quickly!"

    "Holy crap! The flames are really coming."

    "No retreat is allowed without orders from the commander."

    ¡­¡­

    Many soldiers were running backwards, and the smell of flames and smoke was getting bigger and bigger. Under this situation, the basic officer squad leader, squadron leader, and group centurion couldn't bear it any more, and issued orders one after another.

    "Retreat!"

    "Retreat!"

    "Centurion, the general ordered us to set fire to the mountains and forests. If we leave now, wouldn't we be violating the order of the legion commander?" the adjutant said hesitantly.

    The middle-aged centurion pointed at the flames angrily and shouted loudly: "Eleven of my 100-man troops have been burned by the fire. Thirty or forty brothers have been so smoked that they are almost blind. Stay here."  Here, in a short while, my troops will be completely gone."

    "Hurry up and retreat. I will bear any responsibility."

    "ah!"

    "Ah what! Retreat quickly." The middle-aged centurion glared at the adjutant.

    "Yes!" The loyal officer had to nod.

    "Long live the Centurion!"

    The soldiers who stayed with the centurion had important responsibilities and were unable to escape without scruples like the low-status soldiers. Now, with the permission of the centurion, they all rushed down the road regardless of the cost.

    Many situations were unfolding in the mountainous area to the east. Many soldiers of the Second Army were on the mountainside and fled one after another on the mountainside. The soldiers at the foot of the mountain had to stop after seeing the tragic situation above.

    The ferocious burning mass grilled the culprit of the Second Legion¡¯s arson, lighting up the sky around Shenmu City. The soldiers of the Elant Legion who were three or four kilometers away also discovered the anomaly in the sky.
