Chapter 382: The fire grew stronger with the help of the wind.

In the camp of the Wuliang army.

Wu Tuo paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

For some reason, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart!

This feeling of uneasiness grew stronger as time went by, making it impossible for him to sleep.

"What went wrong?"

"Could it be that Yang Zhengshan will launch a night attack?"

"But I'm already prepared. If he attacks at night, he'll fall into the trap I set!"

Wutuo had made full preparations. In order to guard against Yang Zhengshan's night attack, he even arranged tens of thousands of soldiers to set up many traps at the north gate of the camp.

If Yang Zhengshan dared to launch a night attack, it would only make him successful.

Logically speaking, he should have nothing to worry about at this time, but the uneasiness in his heart made him feel that something was wrong.

At this moment, a chaotic noise suddenly sounded outside the tent.

Wu Tuo asked anxiously, like a frightened bird: "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, it's just windy!" replied the guard outside the tent.

"Oh!" Uto responded, but his sense of uneasiness reached its peak at this moment.

got windy!
Wuto shuddered suddenly and walked out of the tent with an anxious look on his face.

"What wind?"

"Northwest wind!"

Wu Tuo looked at the burning brazier in front of the tent and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Northwest wind!"

The sound of whistling wind rang in his ears, and he seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, making the flags rustle and the grass and trees rustle.

The flame in the brazier tilted towards the south, like a long piece of silk.

Listening to the sound of the wind and looking at the stretched flames, Uto shuddered violently.

"not good!"

Did he finally know where his uneasiness came from?
Wind and fire!
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.

At this time, the straw baskets on the hillside had been blown by the wind into the valley, and groups of straw baskets were rolling and jumping, rushing towards the camp of the Wuliang army.

When the first straw basket entered the camp, a group of Wuliang soldiers looked at it in confusion.

"what is this?"

"Who made this straw cage? But it's so ugly!"

"There seems to be some smell up there!"

"Smell! Kerosene!"

Several Wuliang soldiers were still studying the straw cages, but more straw cages rolled into the camp.

next moment.

Suddenly, balls of flames rose up on the mountain pass in the north.

The burning straw cage, blown by the whistling northwest wind, rushed towards the camp of the Wuliang army like a wild horse.

The fire grew stronger with the help of the wind.

But in just a moment, the hillsides on both sides of the mountain pass turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The sea of ​​fire turned into a horizontal stream, and with the help of the wind, it formed crazy waves of fire, baring its fangs and claws as if it wanted to tear the dark night apart.

Wu Tuo looked at the raging sea of ​​fire and was completely dazed.

After the confusion, there is endless anger.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

His face, flushed with anger, became extremely hideous.

At this time, the Wuliang camp was in chaos.

The raging flames were burning, and the rolling straw cages were no match for them. What was even more terrifying was the wind tonight. The howling wind seemed to carry the breath of death, engulfing the tents and the Wulianghu tribe one by one. "Your Highness!"

A group of guards guarded Utuo.

"Quick, quick, order a retreat to the south!" Uto finally reacted.

In fact, he didn't need to give any orders, as Wuliang's soldiers had already fled to the south.

However, facing the raging sea of ​​fire, many people had no chance to escape.

Not just people, but also war horses.

The horses neighed and struggled in fear, and some of the tied horses could only burn to death while wailing. The horses that were not tied were terrified and fled everywhere without caring about anything.

Seventy thousand Hu cavalry and seventy thousand war horses, a large number of war horses fled, making the already chaotic scene even more noisy and chaotic.

"Your Highness, please go!"

The guards around Utuo no longer cared about anything else. They dragged Utuo onto his horse and fled to the south.

The fire grew bigger and bigger with the help of the wind. In a blink of an eye, it had spread to most of the camp and was about to burn Wutuo's tent.

"Come on!"

"Don't mess up!"

After being furious, Uto finally calmed down. While fleeing, he did not forget to call up his subordinates who were fleeing everywhere.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

At this time, Cui Liang came running over.

He was lucky because he was not a Hu person, and their camp was not built together with the Wuliang camp, but behind the Wuliang camp.

Although the flames have now reached their camp, they have more time to react.

However, Cui Liang was unable to summon his soldiers at this time, and could only look for Wutuo with his followers.

"General Cui!" Wutuo looked at Cui Liang with a somewhat dejected look.

"Your Highness, come this way!" Cui Liang and Wu Tuo rushed directly into the forest on the west side of the valley.

There was no road in the forest, so they had to abandon their horses. After entering the forest, Wu Tuo suddenly asked, "Why are you going this way?"

"Your Highness, there are imperial guards in the south!" Cui Liang said.

"But the soldiers!" Wu Tuo's face turned pale.

Cui Liang shook his head slightly, "Your Highness, I can't care about so much now."

Under the fire, most of the Wuliang soldiers fled to the south, and only a small number ran into the mountains and forests on both sides.

However, even in the mountains and forests, you may not be able to escape the sea of ​​fire.

The raging fire had already ignited the forests on both sides, and the mountains on both sides of the valley were quite steep, making it difficult to cross them.

If you are familiar with the terrain, you can find a place with a relatively flat mountain and climb over it. If you are not familiar with the terrain, even if you run into the forest, you will only end up dead.

South side of the valley.

Liang Chu and others were all stunned when they saw the blazing sea of ​​fire.

The valley was more than ten miles long, and the sea of ​​fire was quite far away from them, but looking at the raging sea of ​​fire, they were still filled with horror and fear.

The raging flames illuminated the entire valley, even casting shadows on the faces of Liang Chu and others.

Xue Ou couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "General Yang has a good trick! This fire can probably burn tens of thousands of Wuliang troops to ashes!"

"What a ruthless plan!" Lu Baishu nodded and said in agreement.

"It's not just cruel, it's downright vicious!" said Cao Can.

Zhou Lan glanced at Cao Can, then said to Liang Chu, "Commander-in-chief, should we attack now?"

Liang Chu came back to his senses and let out a long breath.

"Let's all get ready!"

"Here!"

Now no one questioned Yang Zhengshan. The fire that burned down the Wuliang camp was enough to convince them.

The roaring sound of war drums rang out in the deep night. Tens of thousands of imperial guards rushed into the valley with blazing eyes, followed by bursts of shouts and cries of killing.
