The reed marsh stretches for dozens of miles. Now winter is gone and spring is coming, and the reeds are dry and flammable. Li Hun ordered people to light fires on many places on the edge of the reed marsh. With the spring breeze blowing in the southeast direction, the fire gradually became.

The fire licked the reeds on the north side burned violently, and the thick smoke rolled with the "crackling" sound. It got closer a little, and the heat wave mixed with the thick smoke, making people feel suffocating.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and several fire points began to spread into pieces. The line of fire gradually moved northward. Many birds and other wild animals were shocked in panic.

"Eunuch, this fire is probably going to burn for more than half a day. If someone really hides from it, I will definitely not be able to escape."

"You lead the troops to raid from both sides, and shoot arrows when you see any movement inside!"

The soldiers in the state looked at the increasingly prosperous fire and were hesitant. The line of fire had spread to nearly a mile wide and was still growing. After the fire burned, the reed marsh would probably turn into ashes, and many soldiers hidden inside would die.

More than ten cavalry galloped on the south bank of the Wei River. They were sent by the cavalry sent by the Huazhou reinforcements who were reinforced by Guangtongcang. It was confirmed that the soldiers of Tongzhou were setting fire to arrest the murderer and turned around and left.

Looking at the other party's back as he left, Li Hun felt a little sad. The Guangtong warehouse was over, and the army outside Chang'an City could not provide food and grass. Sooner or later, there would be major problems. If the Zhou army gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, Guanzhong, then the situation would be irreversible.

The Sui State seemed likely to be unable to hold on, so the Li family also came to an end. Six years ago, Yuchi Jiong raised an army to rebel Yang and sent envoys to Bingzhou to persuade Li Mu, who was then the general manager of Bingzhou, to raise troops together. As his son, Li Hun strongly advocated standing on Yang Jian's side at that time.

The Yuwen family lost their hearts and was not worthy of loyalty. The envoy sent by Yuchi Jiong was sent to Chang'an to Yang Jian, so now, neither Yuwen nor Yuchi family will let them go.

My father's gamble back then brought wealth to the Li family, but the world has changed, and now it seems that he has lost.

If the Sui Kingdom is finished, others can surrender, but their Li family has only one way to die. The male man who lived in Chang'an City a few years ago was killed by the Zhou army. The other party has already expressed this attitude.

Once King Yang Guang of Jin was defeated in Chang'an, his only way out was to defect to the Southern Dynasty.

Entering Yizhou, then taking a big boat down the river and entering the boundary of Chen State, you will probably be able to keep the family safe and have no need to think about glory and wealth. It is God’s blessing to be able to live in Jiangzuo for this restless life.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be worried. His only hope was that the King of Jin could fight quickly and defeat the Zhou army and take Chang'an before the food was cut off. There was Taicang in Chang'an City and stockpiled a large amount of food. This could overcome the crisis.

"Empress, there seems to be nothing unusual in the reed marsh."

"Don't take it lightly, continue to light the fire and burn this area clean! You all keep an eye on it, and shoot arrows if there is any movement!"

The fire became more and more prosperous, and the heavy smoke occupied almost half of the sky. From time to time, a ranger rushed from the south bank of the Wei River. After I was asked, I was searching for the Zhou gang and left one after another.

The fire lasted for most of the day before it calmed down. Li Hun ordered his soldiers to search in the ashes, and there were no human-shaped remains except for the burned wild animals.

"I have searched all the envoys, and there should be no hiding people in this reed marsh."

"Have you looked at it carefully?"

"I have seen it all, but I really don't see anyone's remains."

Li Hun looked at the wilderness where Yu Yan had not dissipated. Most of the reed marshes in front of him were missing. Since no remains of human beings were found, it seemed that the Zhou army attacking Guangtongcang had fled elsewhere.

"Strange, where else can they escape?"

As it was getting late, Li Hun led the troops back to the city of Zhou. Tongzhou Prefecture Zhiwu Township was more than 20 miles away. If you don’t go back, you will probably miss the time.

The state soldiers and infantry were mainly infantry, and the marching speed was not fast. The large group of people bypassed the burned reed marsh and advanced along the way north to the city of Zhou. They still passed by a large reed land halfway.

There are many reeds in the area of ​​Shayuan in Weiqu, eighty miles from east to west and thirty miles from north to south. They just burned only a part of them, and it was the closest place to Guangtong Cang, so it was the focus of doubt.

Other areas also sent people to search, but no suspicious traces were found. Since there was no harvest, the Zhou army probably wouldn't be here.

After walking for several miles, everything was as usual. Everyone was less wary of being wary. After all, they didn’t meet him when they came, and there shouldn’t be any on the way back. They can’t be rekindled...

The sound of bowstrings and arrows were like rain. The soldiers of Tongzhou were caught off guard and were shot in a mess. Soldiers rushed out of the reed marshes on both sides of the road and howled to them. Li Hun sighed in his heart:

Hunting all day long, I was fascinated by the little rabbit!

The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road. Li Hun will not be shocked by ambush after a long battle. He will not command his subordinates to fight in the battle, and the accompanying troops will soon be involved in hand-to-hand combat.

The Li family's troops have been through three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, and are all loyal and reliable warriors. As the Langzhu has experienced many battles, they have prospered and lost. Without the order from the Langzhu, they will never retreat even if they fight to the last person.

The forces of both sides seemed to be evenly matched, but their side suddenly fell into a disadvantage when they encountered an attack. As long as they could break through a corner of the opponent, they could tear a crack and finally turn the situation around.

Li Hun thought so, his division was also planned, but they were themselves who were torn apart.

Despicable and shameless, he actually used lime to paste his face!

Zhou Jun who rushed forward threw out lime powder first. Li's army was caught off guard and his eyes were hit. In just a moment, the opponent took the opportunity to hit him, and blood was splattered everywhere, and he was defeated.

The elite soldiers of a hundred battles failed so much. Li Hun was distraught and rode his horse to attack the Zhou army with his troops riding on horseback. Such actions made him the focus of the battlefield.

On the outside of the ambush circle, more than 20 archers bent their bows and arrows, and shot arrows at Li Hun and others who were riding horses. They shot not people but horses, and arrows roared like small shovels of horse shooting arrows.

No matter how hard the war horse could endure the pain, its muscles could not stand the cutting of the horse shooting arrows. The mounts under the crotch were successively shot and fell to the ground. The members worked hard to block the arrows for the fallen horse Li Hun. Many people were hit by several arrows, and even wearing armor, they were still bleeding.

Shooting horse arrows cannot break the armor, but shooting on the body is also very difficult. Among the arrows shot by the Zhou army later, there were also ordinary feather arrows. The troops used flesh and blood to form a human wall to protect the Langzhu in the middle.

Li Hun looked at the battlefield. In a short time, the state soldiers had collapsed. The fierce Zhou soldiers beat them to the point of falling flowers and water like chopping melons and vegetables. Seeing that the situation was decided to escape, he drew his sword and threw himself into the battle.

None of the children of the Li family are cowards. Even if they die, they will die with dignity.

Brother, you will never kneel down and beg for mercy when you are killed in Chang'an, right?

Li Hun thought so, leading the remaining moths to the fire. In the reed marsh, Yuwen Wen, who was commanding the ambush, saw the group of people charging to the death, gently raised his right hand, and the archers squatting among the reeds beside him stood up, with three rows of sixty people.

When you bend your bow and set up an arrow, you use a long cone armor-breaking arrow, and you can shoot dead soldiers wearing heavy armored pig protrusions.
