In the next moment, countless exclamations rang out.
Pang Tong and the others disappeared into thin air!
It was also at this moment that a loud clamor suddenly came from behind Zhang Xun, followed by a series of miserable cries!
With a boom, flames soared into the sky!
The flames were like a raging flood that instantly drowned the entire land!
At this moment, all the soldiers of Jizhou were on fire!
At the same time, there were weeds and wood shavings scattered on the ground, the defensive fence around the camp, all the tents in the camp, and the grain that was heavily guarded.
They were all on fire!
Flames rose, and the main tent was burned to ashes in the blink of an eye!
Zhang He's hair was curled, and countless small balls had condensed on the top of his beard.
Was he tricked? Ambush? Self-harm?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Xun's mind.
However, it was no longer important!
He had already remembered what had happened earlier and realized that something was wrong.
Compared to the previous battles, killing the Jizhou soldiers today was a little too easy!
One slash of the saber would cause many casualties.
That feeling…
It wasn't a real person, but a straw doll!
"Wa ya ya, how dare you bully me!"
Zhang Xun looked around and saw that the Yuan Shu soldiers who had charged into Pan Feng's camp earlier were fleeing in all directions, wailing and wailing.
Because there were flames everywhere that covered the sky. If one stood still, even if they were not ignited by the flames, they would die from lack of oxygen.
Or they were roasted alive by the high temperature!
If he didn't run, he wouldn't be able to take it.
Even if he ran, it was still useless!
Many soldiers 'clothes were set ablaze, and they fell to the ground in the flames, wailing and rolling.
Under the flames that filled the sky, the darkness behind Pang Tong could not hide!
So it was a huge pit!
Waves of heat waves assaulted him, causing his fur to curl up a little. Zhang Xun quickly roared,"Everyone, follow me!"
That ugly kid just now jumped into this pit.
The entire camp was set ablaze. How could Zhang Xun not know that he had been tricked?
The other party had already laid down everything and was waiting for him to arrive and burn the army down!
Although it was not safe to chase after the other party and escape, it was better than being trapped here!
The guard beside him quickly came to the side of the pit and jumped in.
Zhang Xun followed closely behind.
The pit was not deep. At the bottom was a pitch-black passage, and no light could be seen.
Compared to the raging flames on the ground, the passage was much better. It was just a little hot, and there was even a slight breeze blowing.
The soldiers led the way while Zhang Xun followed.
From time to time, there were flashes of light behind him and the screams of soldiers.
Zhang Xun turned around to take a look. The corner of his eyes twitched, but he did not care anymore.
His entire body was on fire, yet he still dared to jump down and mess with others. He deserved to die.
However, it was not completely useless. At the very least, it provided a little light to the passage.
Zhang Xun moved forward quickly. In a short while, he felt that the scorching aura was getting fainter and fainter.
The cold winter night wind blew past his ears.
They were almost at the exit!
Zhang Xun tensed up and ordered the soldiers to pay attention.
It was obvious that the end of this passage was the time for danger!
If things didn't work out, perhaps they could wait in the passage for the fire to extinguish before leaving.
Many of the soldiers had been killed by the fire, but compared to the 200,000 soldiers, it was just a fraction.
Returning to join the army was also a good choice!
The first soldier walked out of the passage and looked up to see the stars in the sky.
Nothing?
The second soldier, the third, the fourth…
Zhang Xun watched from within the passageway. More than a thousand soldiers walked out of the passageway and climbed up the mountain.
Nothing happened?
Zhang Xun was puzzled.
After walking out of the passageway, Zhang Xun turned around and looked at the burning Jizhou Army Camp in the distance. He let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the Jizhou soldiers had escaped.
"Men, quickly inform General Ji Ling that Pan Feng's army has fled. We must seize the supplies and supplies to subsidize our army.”
Zhang Xun ordered. At the same time, he arranged for his subordinates to quickly bring the surviving soldiers out of the tunnel.
"Yes!"
The soldier obeyed the order and left.
"Follow me up the mountain. I want to see where Pan Feng can escape to.”
Zhang Xun and the others climbed halfway up the slope and saw that the fire in the distant Jizhou camp was decreasing. Clearly, what should have been burned was almost done.
According to his calculations, Pan Feng's ugly underling hadn't run far. He should be able to see clearly after crossing the mountain.
However, what Zhang Xun did not see was that the messenger soldier had fallen halfway up the mountain and did not get up for a long time.
After a while, he quickly climbed up.
The valley was surrounded by mountains on all four sides, and three sides were high. Only when they were closer to the direction of the Jizhou Army Camp could they see the situation of the camp from other directions!
"General, why don't we go out from the bottom of the mountain and climb the highest side instead?”
One of his subordinates asked Zhang Xun while panting heavily.
"When Pan Feng's army set up camp, they must have chosen this place. This tunnel is their escape route.”
"Our army launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night. The enemy scouts might have discovered it in advance, so they abandoned their camp and escaped through the passage.”
"If you were Pan Feng, which direction would you run to if you escaped from the tunnel?”
The subordinate thought for a moment and came to a realization.
The tallest mountain, of course!
As long as he climbed up the mountain, the path down the mountain was naturally much easier than climbing up the mountain!
By the time the pursuing enemy found some clues and climbed up the mountain, he had already run far away!
"Do you understand?"
The subordinate nodded.
"Look at the grass around here. It's obvious that someone deliberately messed it up!”
"Their goal must be to hide from the eyes and ears of others, afraid that I would find out where they left after climbing the mountain.”
The subordinate nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration.
The general was indeed a general! It was indeed powerful.
While enjoying the admiration of his subordinates, Zhang Xun was furious!
Pan Feng had abandoned over a thousand soldiers and set fire to the main camp, killing tens of thousands of his own soldiers. If he did not take revenge, how could he, Zhang Xun, still have the face to return to the court to meet the Emperor?
He had to catch up to Pan Feng's army and cripple them within two days. Of course, it would be best if he could completely destroy them.
According to the scouts, Cao Cao's army would cross into Shouchun in two days.
Although Shouchun Pass was easy to defend and hard to attack, he only left twenty thousand soldiers behind, so it was not too safe.
After removing Pan Feng's threat, he had to return to defense.
Then, they would wait for an opportunity to break them one by one and protect Shouchun's safety!
Just as Zhang Xun was secretly making a decision, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the passageway at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Xun frowned.
What was going on?
Soon, a soldier ran up.
"General, General Ji Ling is leading the army through the passage.”
General Ji Ling asked me to tell you that once the fire in Pan Feng's camp is extinguished, we've managed to preserve more than 70% of their rations.
Pan Feng had lost her provisions. Even if she escaped, unless she returned to Jizhou or plundered other towns, she would not have any provisions to provide.
General Ji Ling suggested that there was no need to blindly chase after Pan Feng.
"Didn't I tell you to tell General Ji Ling that the army is waiting for us here? We'll be here soon," Zhang Xun chided.”
"Why are you here?"
The messenger was stunned.
"I wasn't the one who gave the order earlier. I was…"
Before the messenger could finish speaking, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly sounded from all around!
