Chapter 1471 Retreating South

When the last mountain fire attacked, many brothers did not run out. They had no way to run away. There were burning flames in all directions, and they were eventually burned into a pile of black ashes. Some people ran out from inside, and they also It did not play any good role, but brought out all the horrors of the last mountain fire. So when they heard that the Tang army had set fire to the mountains and forests again, many people were already ready to grease their feet and run away.

"Quick, quick, lift the general up, let's retreat south."

Seeing that the general has not made a decision, his men can't wait any longer. If they continue to stay here, they will all die. Everyone still has the desire to survive. After hearing this, the men immediately lifted the general up. , and then used all their strength to retreat to the south. Without the permission of the court, they had to retreat, otherwise they would not be able to run faster than the mountain fire when the mountain fire came over. fire.

Some people are still staring at the wildfire in the distance in a daze, but experienced soldiers have already started running. The wildfire burns very fast. If you are still here in a daze, you will probably stay here for the rest of your life. .

At this moment, Li Xiang also led his men to watch from a distance on horseback. He could see a lot of people running in the mountains and forests. This should be the Vietnamese army. These people restrained us in the mountains and forests. In May, we also suffered more than 800 casualties. If we can achieve such a strategic goal, these people have actually won.

But now you have to escape, and your strategic goals cannot be achieved. For these people on the mountain, Li Xiang admires them from the bottom of his heart. If you can persist in such an environment for several months, you are really worthy of this country. It's a pity that your court feels sorry for you and treats you as abandoned children.

From Li Xiang's position, it is clear that the people on the mountain do not run very fast, and some people are swallowed up by the mountain fire. This is also a normal thing. The mountain fire spreads very fast, but all these people are sallow and thin. , I don’t know how long I haven’t eaten food, and my stomach is probably filled with bark and the like. It is said that even the bark on the mountain has been eaten up. How can I survive the wildfire?

"Are we going to intercept it on the south side?"

Huo Qubing said eagerly, his people have suffered a lot in the past few months, and now it is finally time to harvest. After we kill you all, we can also pay homage to our dead brothers.

"Sometimes it is not necessarily right to go to war blindly. Let them run back. Running back will not do any good to the southern court. Instead, it will bring fear away. I believe that the southern court will not let it go. They, there may be a confrontation between the two sides by then, and they ordered our people to continue burning the mountain and burn the entire jungle, without giving them any room to survive. "

There was no such thing as environmental protection in this era. After Li Xiang's order was issued, the soldiers began to light fires around them. If the woods were still there, then I'm afraid someone would attack us here. It would still be difficult then. Son, let's just take the fire under the cauldron and burn down all the mountains and forests you hide in.

As for the issue of greening, there is no need to worry. Wildfires will never burn out and will be rekindled by the spring breeze.

In a few years, the mountains will be green again.

When Li Xiang and others stopped attacking, the people near the mountain forest were not idle. They knew that this was the last time to make money, so they continued to ambush the army on the way down the mountain. Each person had 400 kilograms of grain. Li Xiang mobilized again. The amount exchanged for food is low, but even so, it is enough food for two strong laborers for a year. If there are old, weak, sick and disabled, it may be enough for three people.

Therefore, they must not let go of this opportunity. They must seize the last opportunity to earn food. Li Xiang really doesn't know what to say about the behavior of these people. In short, none of these guys are doing serious things. , if these people could do something serious with this idea, maybe the family would not be so poor.

Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were also dumbfounded. You didn't seem to be so enthusiastic when dealing with us. Why are you so concerned about dealing with your own people? Is it really for those four hundred kilograms of grain?

The mountain fire here almost burned half the sky red. People in the Vietnamese court also got the news. They didn’t know what to say. Under such circumstances, there was no way to continue fighting. They just didn’t know that the mountains Where did the army come from? If they can be recruited, there will be more cannon fodder in the next battle.

For three days, I don’t know how much of the mountain forest was burned. Even in southern Vietnam, there was some black smoke floating in the sky. You can imagine how big the mountain fire burned this time. The King of Vietnam stood on the roof. Looking to the north, there was a place he could never return to.

"Do you think we still need to resist?"

The King of Vietnam said very sadly. Looking at the black smoke in the sky, it was like seeing his own destiny. He felt really unsure if he continued to fight against the Tang army.

The prime minister stood nearby, not knowing what to say. When someone tried to persuade him to surrender before, he was killed by this guy in front of him. If we say the same thing, will we also be killed?

The prime minister of a country is basically a member of a large family, which has lasted for hundreds of years, and has almost all kinds of relationships with the royal family. Such people can say whatever they want, and naturally they don't have to worry about the emperor killing them. But we were appointed on a temporary basis, and our foundation is not that deep at all. If we talk casually, we might be killed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Vietnam will definitely not be able to hold on anymore, but we people can surrender and still have a good position, but you may not be able to surrender. If you surrender, will the Tang Dynasty court spare your life? ?

You are different from those monarchs who surrendered. They did not make the Tang army spend so much money. Because of your stubbornness, the Tang army suffered a lot of losses in the north. What the Tang people valued most was the amount of their losses, even if it was you. If you want to surrender, I'm afraid people won't treat you well.

The King of Vietnam also thought of this, so when he raised his head again, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He took the entire country to be buried with him, and he would not give it to the Tang Dynasty... (End of this chapter)
