After finishing their meal, they stood on the city wall and talked again. Suddenly, a soldier quickly walked up to General Fang and whispered to him.

General Fang was ecstatic after hearing this. After the soldiers left, he quickly said to General Chen beside him, "General Chen, based on their marching speed, tonight at midnight is our best chance!"

General Chen walked quickly to the entrance of the city wall and looked into the distance. He could vaguely feel yellow sand floating in the distance.

"Pass the order down, start cooking at 3 p.m., then all troops will rest! Gather at 12 p.m.!"

"yes!"

It’s almost there, we’ll be back in Yandu soon.

After the entire army finished their meal, the entire camp fell into silence. Except for the patrolling soldiers, there was no sound at all.

It lasts until midnight.

After packing up their weapons and armor, a group of people quietly ambushed on both sides of the mountain stream.

Wait until all the Rongjun troops enter the mountain stream.

"put!"

With a roar, countless rocks rolled down from both sides of the mountain stream! Along with the huge rolling log, they slid down and hit Rong Jun.

In an instant, Rong Jun's camp was in chaos, with the neighing of horses and the roars of Rong Jun making a mess.

The general leading the Rong army was thinking of leading his men to retreat, but he found that the road behind was also blocked! And at this time, a raging fire was ignited!

"Charge forward, charge forward! We will be safe once we charge forward!" He tried his best to control his mount and roared.

The Rong army had about 300,000 soldiers and horses. This long mountain stream stretched for several miles, and the cliffs on both sides were very steep.

Before the march, Rong Jun's generals were also worried about being ambushed. If they did not have accurate intelligence that the border troops in front were changing guards and the defense was weak, Rong Jun would not dare to take the risk to move forward. But now it is too late!

Although the road behind was blocked, the exit of the mountain stream in front was connected to the border army's fortress. If a fire was set, the entire city would be burned down. Therefore, there was no fire in front, and they could only keep fighting forward.

The boulders next to the two pieces kept falling, and all the boulders and logs were used up.

Arrows rained down from the sky quickly.

Countless soldiers were killed or wounded, but the greatest number were those who were trampled by their companions and horses.

"Everyone charge! We'll get out soon!" Rong Jun's general looked at the exit of the mountain stream that was getting closer and closer, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Hope was right before their eyes, and more than 200,000 veterans ran forward quickly.

Just when they thought hope was just around the corner.

Sudden!

The fastest few people in front fell directly into a deep pit!

"ah!"

Accompanied by the neighing of horses and the screams of soldiers.

The general of the Rong army quickly pulled the reins and said, "Stop, stop! There's an ambush ahead!"

But not everyone was as good at horse riding as he was. Many people didn't have time to stop and were knocked into deep pits by the horses galloping behind them.

If you look closely, you can see that the pit is full of tall spikes!

The soldiers who fell down were pierced by the spikes, along with their horses!

The huge trap was prepared by General Fang and his soldiers who worked day and night for two months.

Just for today's battle.

Before they even saw the enemy, only 250,000 of the 300,000 troops were left.

General Rongguo had been in the army for many years and had some ability, so he quickly took control of the situation.

He ordered some people to put up shields above their heads, and the others all hid under the shields, temporarily blocking the overwhelming rain of arrows.

"General, what should we do? The fire behind us is getting bigger and bigger! If we don't leave now, we will be burned to death!"

General Rongguo looked at the huge deep pit in front of him and thought of countless ways in his mind. It was completely impossible to pass through. There were countless steel spikes underneath.

Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, General Rongguo gritted his teeth and gave an order to his men beside him.

General Chen, who was lying in a place in the mountains, looked at Rong Jun's actions below, and his face suddenly became serious.

"Oh no! They're going to use people to pave a road!"

Below, I saw that the Rong army took the risk to throw the dead horses and soldiers into the pit. Since there were not enough people, they threw the injured soldiers down as well, and gradually paved a walkable path.

In the end, they killed a lot of soldiers on the spot and barely made a bloody path that was only wide enough for two people to pass side by side.

A trace of pity flashed in General Chen's eyes. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he became very determined.

"Pour kerosene."

"What? General Chen? Will this..."

If kerosene is poured down there will be 300,000 troops down there.

This is a huge sin...

"This order was given by me. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility!"

At this moment, General Chen's mind kept flashing with his former comrades-in-arms, and his eyes became more determined.

After the order was given, the Yan army took action quickly.

When General Rongguo was halfway there, he found that something was pouring down from both sides of the mountain stream.

He reached out and touched the liquid on the shield, then put it to his nose and sniffed it carefully.

Suddenly his expression changed drastically!

"Oh no, it's kerosene!"

Chen Zhanren, this old bastard!

"All troops, speed up!"

As he spoke, he ignored the soldiers who were still walking in front of him and rode his horse to knock down the people who were blocking his way.

Hurry and cross this bridge.

But it's too late!

Torches on both sides of the mountain stream were constantly thrown down. When the torches hit the kerosene on the ground, they quickly ignited into fire dragons!

"Ah! Help! Help me!"

More and more soldiers of Rong State were swallowed by the fire snake!

General Chen personally led his men to destroy the human bridge they had built, blocking the escape route of the Rong soldiers with a blazing fire.

Fortunately, this big pit was dug in advance, so the fire remained in this mountain stream from beginning to end and did not spread to the city behind.

The fire burned for three days before it was put out by a heavy rain.

“Ugh~”

The Yan soldiers went in to check and found burnt ashes everywhere. If they were lucky, they might even find a complete black bone left. They didn't have to clean up the battlefield.

Even the rocks on both sides of the mountain stream were burned into crystals.

The whole mountain was filled with a strange smell that made people feel nauseous.

"General Chen, I heard that the civil servants have already written a memorial impeaching you."

General Fang showed reluctance on his face. He did not feel sorry for these Rong soldiers, but killing 300,000 Rong soldiers in one go was a heinous sin.

Poor General Chen has been loyal to the State of Yan for most of his life, and his best years were spent on the border. If he ends up with a miserable old age because of the massacre of the soldiers of the State of Rong, how can these border soldiers be willing to accept this?

General Chen smiled with satisfaction. "This time, Rongguo lost 300,000 soldiers. There will be no more fighting on the border within the next ten years. Our soldiers can go home now."

General Fang's eyes suddenly turned red. "General Chen, I am also involved in this matter. If His Majesty wants to blame you, I will accompany you!"

General Chen felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly lightened.

He patted General Fang on the shoulder and said, "You are still young. Don't delay your future. After I leave, the frontier army will be handed over to you."
