Fragrance Stealer

Although there is very little information today, everyone has the same thought in their minds. After all, since Pan Mei failed to rescue Yang Ye in the early Northern Song Dynasty, there have been endless examples of abandoning friendly troops as cannon fodder.

A group of people greeted the eighteenth generation of Chen Xiaoqing's ancestors, but Guo Jing frowned. Of course, he would not scold Chen Xiaoqing like ordinary soldiers, but he was thinking about the hidden information behind it. Go or be instructed?

It's a pity that he wasn't good at analyzing these political matters. After thinking about it for a long time, he was dizzy and couldn't come to any conclusion. He couldn't help but sighed secretly: "It would be great if Rong'er was here." It is estimated that the wife can analyze the context behind it as soon as she rolls her eyes.

"Commander Guo, the Jin people's pursuers are coming!" A general next to him suddenly screamed and pointed to the north, his words were full of despair. The main reason for supporting them to persevere before was thinking of the Song army on Lingbi's side, but now Lingbi had already fallen, and the army also regarded them as abandoned sons, and they were chased up by the pursuing soldiers.

Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the north, Guo Jing pulled the reins and shouted: "Follow me!" After speaking, he rode his horse to the southeast. , or subconsciously followed behind him.

After running southeast for dozens of miles, Guo Jing and the others had to stop, because the way was blocked by a large swamp of reeds, and they were about to turn around, but unfortunately the Jinren's pursuers had already followed.

"Is it true that the sky is going to kill me?" Guo Jing sighed.

Now that there is no way out and there are soldiers chasing after him, even Guo Jing is a little desperate, not to mention the soldiers under his command, some of them are discouraged, and some of them yell at Chen Xiaoqing, which can be said to show all kinds of life.

Guo Jing saw everything in front of him and wanted to boost everyone's morale, but now that he was in a desperate situation, he knew that any words would be meaningless.

Let's say that Song Qingshu followed Jin Guo's army to several miles away, Pu San Zhongyi ordered the army to stop advancing, and Dai Qisi asked puzzledly: "Why don't you just rush over and kill them?"

Although Song Qingshu was unwilling to attack Guo Jing, Dai Qisi didn't have such concerns. What's more, she was from Persia, and she didn't have any differences between Jin and Song Dynasty in her heart. In addition, her husband Han Qianye also died indirectly on the mission of the Southern Song and Northern Expeditions. I don't have a good opinion of Song people.

Moreover, she vaguely guessed in her heart that Song Qingshu didn't want to bear the infamy of killing Guo Jing, so she could solve his headache by herself, which should help him

Song Qingshu frowned when he heard this, and before he had time to say anything, Pu San Zhongyi had already replied: "Now they have nowhere to go, as the so-called cornered beasts are still fighting, if they rush over at this time, they will explode with amazing fighting power in desperation, pulling people back. It’s not worth it, anyway, we have plenty of time, we can let them hang out for two days, and then they will lose their fighting power without us doing anything.”

Song Qingshu nodded secretly, this servant San Zhongyi is worthy of being a famous general of the Kingdom of Jin, and his judgment of the situation is simply perfect.

Next, Pu San Zhongyi began to dispatch soldiers to deploy defenses everywhere, completely blocking all possible escape routes of the opponent. Song Qingshu sighed, and now Guo Jing might be really hard to fly.

After arranging everything, Pu San Zhongyi carefully looked at the terrain where the Song army was located, and suddenly let out a sigh: "Maybe we don't need to wait until two days later."

Dai Qisi asked for Song Qingshu: "What's going on?"

Pu San Zhongyi pointed to the reed swamp where the opponent was, and said with a smile: "The large area of ​​reeds here is an excellent place for fire attack. I was worried that Guo Jing would break through alone with his high-strength martial arts, but now the water and fire Ruthless, no matter how high his martial arts are, he can only die!"

Song Qingshu was startled when he heard that, if he really used fire to attack, Guo Jing and his party might really be over, but it's a pity that now he can't find any reason to stop his servant from breaking up his loyalty.

The servant was loyal and resolute, and quickly arranged for soldiers to prepare items such as kerosene, and then ordered the soldiers to shoot rockets into the reeds. Although it rained heavily in Suzhou, it was far enough away from Suzhou, and the weather was extremely dry. , and soon the reeds were ignited, and then the wind formed a prairie fire.

Song Jun had obviously discovered something unusual, but it was a pity that they discovered it too late. Now that the fire had started, it was impossible for them to rush through the sea of ​​flames and fight desperately.

Seeing Song Jun's people turn their backs on their backs, Pu San Zhongyi laughed with satisfaction: "Finally get rid of Guo Jing's confidant trouble for Dajin Kingdom!"

A group of generals from the Kingdom of Jin agreed, but Song Qingshu couldn't be happy. Looking at the fire, Guo Jing was really sweating. No matter how good a person's martial arts skills are, he can't compete with nature. How can he get out of such a fire? ?

Song Qingshu's mind was spinning rapidly, and Song Qingshu was thinking about how to rescue him. Originally, he was thinking about waiting for Guo Jing to be caught by servant Zhongyi, and then he would rescue him secretly. Save him in the past, or you will definitely die.However, the price of rushing over by himself is too high. If he is not careful, everything that Jin Guo has gained will fall short. Moreover, with Guo Jing's temperament, he will probably not abandon the soldiers under his command to escape alone, and he is not a god, so how could he save so many people.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had already thought of a solution. Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides is too far, and there is no way to secretly tell the other party. Should he use his internal strength to openly shout to him?

When he was struggling, Guo Jing finally managed to stabilize the confused subordinates, and then ordered: "Set fire!"

"Ah?" A group of soldiers were dumbfounded. Now that the fire was so big, they were about to be burned, but Guo Jing asked them to set fire right under their noses. Didn't they think they died fast enough?

If it weren't for Guo Jing's prestige in the past few days, maybe someone would have yelled at him, but many people still raised doubts.

"Of course it's not simply setting fire and there's no time to explain. Just do as I say, hurry up!" Guo Jing hurriedly ordered.

Although the soldiers under his command were at a loss, they followed his instructions and quickly cut down the reeds in front of them with their knives, forming a bare area about two meters wide, and then started to light the fire in the reeds on the other side of the bare area.

The reeds burned quickly, and then quickly formed a ferocious fire dragon, which was on par with the fire burning over from the Jin army for a while.

Suddenly the fire dragon on this side shook a few times, and then swooped towards the flames burning over from the Jin army at an extremely exaggerated speed!

Chapter 1653 Dying Entrustment

The two flames collided, and sparks burst out with a bang, but then the soldiers on both sides were stunned.

"Is this man a god?" Many soldiers in the Kingdom of Jin exclaimed, and even Pu San Zhongyi was a little shocked. Using fire to extinguish fire is beyond everyone's common sense. The soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty even regarded Guo Jing as a god. Morale, which was extremely low, instantly rose.

Song Qingshu smiled slightly, Guo Jing's approach coincided with what he had just thought, and Zhengchou couldn't remind him, but he didn't expect him to think of this method by himself.

Extinguishing fire with fire looks high-spirited. In fact, it is no secret to him who came from later generations and stood on the shoulders of countless giants. Once the fire ignites, the air is heated and rises to high altitudes, resulting in very low air pressure at the center of the fire. The air pressure at the periphery of the fire site is A relatively high pressure that creates a strong air flow toward the fire.At this time, if a fire is set on the periphery of the fire site, the fire will be blown to the fire site by the airflow, and the combustible materials between the fire source and the fire site will be burned up, and then the fire will be extinguished due to lack of combustible materials.

Of course, to do this, you need to clear a isolation zone in advance, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, it will be easy to backfire. This is why Guo Jing will arrange soldiers to clear the reeds in front of the camp.

Song Qingshu looked over there with some doubts. Because of his knowledge of physics and news reports in later generations, Australia often used this method to put out fires, but how could Guo Jing, an elm-headed man, come up with such a trick? ?Could it be that Huang Rong was by his side?

In fact, this is purely his wild imagination. The reason why Guo Jing knows this trick is also related to his experience of herding horses and sheep on the Mongolian grassland when he was a child. Sometimes the herdsmen there will use this trick to put out the fire when they encounter grassland fires. Although those herdsmen don’t Knowing physics, but it is also the experience accumulated and explored by the ancestors.

Taking advantage of the lack of concentration on the Jin people's side, Guo Jing led his cavalry to rush out obliquely, taking advantage of the gap created by the fire just now to forcefully break through the encirclement, and ran towards the vast mountain.

Fu San Zhongyi was angry and impatient, and hastily mobilized his troops to chase and intercept him. Dai Qisi hurried forward and said, "Guo Jing's side is only a few hundred cavalry, so why bother to mobilize so many troops and waste so much energy on this side?" Don’t forget that our most important target is still the main force of the Song army.” She received Song Qingshu’s instruction, and even though she was unwilling, she came forward to try to dispel the idea of ​​losing loyalty.

"The Marshal doesn't know something," Pu San Zhongyi explained, "We personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack hundreds of people in the Southern Song Dynasty. If we can't wipe them out, we will lose our prestige, and we will no longer be able to dispatch troops. It boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty, and they became more ambitious in the Northern Expedition in the future. As for the main force in Suzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, it has already collapsed thousands of miles away, so there is nothing to worry about."

Song Qingshu sighed in his heart. Now that things are up to now, Pu San Zhongyi can be described as riding a tiger, even if he wants to give up, it is impossible.

"Marshal don't have to worry." Possibly aware of Dai Qisi's strangeness, Pu San Zhongyi thought that the commander was worried about something, and explained, "Just in case, I have arranged heavy troops in advance on the main road ahead. This time Guo Jing It’s hard to fly even with wings inserted.”

After thinking along the way, Song Qingshu also gradually calmed down. It is impossible to let Guo Jing leave under the eyes of everyone, but he can be rescued after he is caught, as long as he doesn't almost die in the flames like before.

After Dai Qisi and Pu San Zhongyi finished talking, when a group of people rushed up, the soldiers in front came to report that Guo Jing had tried to break through several times, but unfortunately the way had already been blocked, so he had no choice but to lead the remnants up a hill. Use the characteristics of the mountains and forests to resist the rain of arrows from the Jinren, and at the same time occupy the condescending geographical advantage.

The Jin soldiers had organized several charges in front, but they were abruptly blocked by the opponent's bow and arrow falling stones.

After listening to the soldiers' report, Pu Sanzhongyi was not angry but happy: "This mountain is not big, and I have already surrounded it on all sides. They can't escape at last!"

Song Qingshu smiled wryly, listening to the report from the soldiers just now, this hill has no water source and no food, it can be described as a desperate place for military strategists, but Guo Jing and others are also desperate, if they don't go to this desperate place, they might die in the Under the siege of the golden soldiers, going up could temporarily delay the time, which is what drinking poison to quench thirst is about.

"Pass down the order. Everyone will set up camp at the foot of the mountain. If they run out of water and food, they will soon lose their combat effectiveness." Tian Tian followed Guo Jing down and lost all kinds of soldiers. Although in his opinion, as long as he can catch Guo Jing, no amount of sacrifice is worth it, but the soldiers of the middle and lower ranks may not understand. The criticism against him will never be small.

In addition, Guo Jing just showed off the fire with fire, and the morale of the Jin army was hit a lot, so he also needs to let the soldiers slow down first. When the Song army is hungry and thirsty, the morale of the Jin army should also be reduced. The recovery is almost complete, and then the loss can be minimized.

Let's say that the Jin army was setting up camp, and the remaining dozens of Song soldiers on the mountain surrounded Guo Jing and said, "Commander Guo, we are sure to die now, your martial arts skills are world-class, let's leave alone in the dark."

After several days and nights of chasing and fighting, there are only dozens of these 480 cavalry left now, and many of them are seriously injured, who may die at any time, and the rest are all wounded, and it is estimated that they will not last long. up.

Hearing what they said, Guo Jing's face suddenly changed: "I, Guo, am the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! This kind of thing of abandoning comrades in arms is absolutely impossible for Guo."

Those soldiers persuaded: "Guo Daxia, we can't escape in this situation. In addition, we have bullied Xuzhou Jinbing's wife and daughter before. Even if we are caught, we will only be tortured to death. There is absolutely no second option." You are different, your martial arts are powerful all over the world, without us people dragging you, you can still get away through the night." They no longer refer to them as official positions, but call them Guo Daxia, which is obviously right His reputation as a chivalrous man has long been familiar to his ears and eyes, and now that life and death are at stake, any official position is just a cloud, and only respect from the bottom of his heart would make them make such a suggestion.

"Guo Daxia must not be psychologically burdened. The reason why we are in a desperate situation this time is because the martial arts doctor Chen Xiaoqing abandoned his comrades in arms. We need Guo Daxia to return to the court to expose Chen Xiaoqing's shameless behavior and avenge us, otherwise we will die with shame!" Obviously! They didn't forget who hurt them, and said one by one through gritted teeth.

"That's right, while we still have some strength, we can still cover Guo Daxia for a while. If we leave for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you."

Everyone persuaded Guo Jing one by one, Guo Jing's face sank like water, and finally said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say any more, I will never run away alone. As for Chen Xiaoqing's abandonment of his comrades, there are so many people on the battlefield. If you can't stop Youyou's mouth, sooner or later, the imperial court will avenge us."

Seeing what they wanted to say, Guo Jing took off his armor and said, "I've lost my mind, don't follow me, let me kill Marshal Jin alone!"
