Chapter 2100 Steamer Battle (Part 1)


    Chapter 2098: Steamer Battle (Part 1)


    Although the Qin army''s sulphur bombs came in a powerful way, most of them were empty after all, and they only hit one or two of them. Although they could pose a certain threat to the Qing army, it was absolutely impossible to break the camp with this.


    Under Tuoba Tao''s command, the Qing army soldiers carried sandbags one after another and started to extinguish the fire. However, because the Qin army''s offensive continued, the fire could not be completely extinguished, but it was also controlled within a controllable range.


    In less than half an hour, all three thousand turbulent bombs were launched.


    The fire burned for half an hour, and the Qing soldiers affected by the tinder oil had retreated, while those who were not affected were sweating profusely, but this was still not enough to defeat the Qing army.


    Seeing that the Qin army''s throwing car stopped firing oil bombs, all the Qing soldiers cheered, believing that they had resisted the Qin army''s fiercest offensive.


    Tuoba Tao also breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the Hanshui on his face, then shook off the sweat from his hands, and laughed, "Wei Qing is just like that."


    The soldiers were also infected by Tuoba Tao''s heroic spirit and shouted in unison: "Wei Qing is just that."


    "Wei Qing is just like that."


    “…”


    At the foot of the mountain, when Tian Yu heard the movement on the mountain, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He was about to scold him but was blocked by Wei Qing.


    "The country has given up, there is no need to show off its verbal benefits, the good show has just begun."


    Wei Qing patted Tian Yu on the shoulder and smiled faintly, "Let me see if I will not abandon one soldier or one soldier to capture this camp."


    [Dingdong, Wei Qing''s skill "Jin Ge" effect 3 is activated. When facing foreign races, when the opponent''s commander is lower than him, the opponent''s intelligence can be reduced by 1 to 3 points.


    Currently, Wei Qing commander 103, Tuoba Tao is 98, Wei Qing''s commander is 5 points higher than Tuoba Tao, so Tuoba Tao''s intelligence is reduced by 3 points. Tuoba Tao''s intelligence is reduced to 87. 】


    Although Tian Yu was a little confused, he honestly retreated with confidence in Wei Qing and looked up at the "Flame Mountain" in front of him.


    Although the Qin army''s sulphur bombs were exhausted, the rockets had not been fired, but they had almost been fired.


    Seeing that the Qin army''s rockets were about to be exhausted, Tuoba Tao was more confident and did not realize that he had been surrendered by Wei Qing, and it was too late when he found something was wrong.


    Looking at the raging fire on the mountainside, Tuoba Tao wiped the sweat stains on his forehead and smiled, "Wei Qing wants to set fire to us, but now this fire has become our protective umbrella. As long as this fire is not extinguished, the Qin army cannot attack. Is this considered lifting a stone but shooting himself in the foot?"


    Zhi Deli was stunned. He didn''t think so deeply, but when he thought about it, he found that Tuoba Tao''s words made sense.


    They are now protected by the fire on the mountainside. The only drawback is that this protective circle is a little hot, just like a steamer.


    "What the major general said is very true. Wei Qing did miscalculate this time. Not only did he waste thousands of precious sulphur bombs, he also lost the opportunity." said Jian Deli.


    "Most of the Qin army''s turbulent bombs hit the mountainside. Judging from this situation, it may take another one or two hours to burn. At least there is no need to worry about the Qin army''s attack within one or two hours."


    Tuoba Tao said confidently, then wiped the sweat stains on his forehead again, not realizing the temperature in the camp at all, which was a little hotter than before extinguishing the fire.


    Half an hour later.


    "General, it''s too hot, and many soldiers are so hot."


    After hearing the report, Tuoba Tao frowned: "Persist on for a while, the fire will be extinguished for one more time, and the temperature will drop by then. If the soldiers really can''t stand it, they can take water to wet their clothes first to cool down."


    "This...she."


    Another half an hour passed.


    Ji Deli ran over quickly and said anxiously, "Major General, the big thing is wrong. Most of the people in the back camp have heatstrokes, and the rest are so hot that they are dizzy and they are almost unable to hold on."


    Tuoba Tao felt a sudden heart and hurriedly said, "Take me there and have a look."


    Under the guidance of Jian Deli, Tuoba Tao came to the back camp.


    The reason why the Qing army was in the back camp was because the front camp was too hot and it was not a place for people to stay. The back camp was far away from the fire area, so the temperature was not that hot. So Tuoba Tao asked most of the soldiers to go to the back camp to escape the summer heat, while he led a few elite troops to monitor the Qin army in the front camp.


    After arriving at the rear camp, Tuoba Tao immediately noticed that the temperature around him had dropped, but compared to the front camp, it still seemed to be in a furnace overall.


    As a top-notch military general, this temperature is just a little hot for Tuoba Tao and it is nothing at all, but it is hard for ordinary soldiers.


    "Why is the back camp so hot? Wasn''t it so hot before?"


    Before Tuoba Tao could think too much, he saw that the soldiers were all blushed and their eyes were blurred. They were in groups of two and weak, but it was useless because the hot wind came out.


    The clothes on the soldiers were basically soaked in sweat, and everyone looked exhausted with heat.


    "How could this happen?"


    Tuoba Tao showed disbelief and confusion on his face.


    The back camp is already far away from the front camp. He has been here before, but it is not that hot. Why is it almost the same as the front camp now?


    "Major General, what should I do now?"


    Zhi Deli asked anxiously.


    After Tuoba Tao was silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat."


    "Retreat?"


    The sound of the sticky sound became louder. They were ordered to defend the second battalion to death. Now they have not even been defending for a day, so they retreated? How can I explain this time?


    Tuoba Tao did not explain and decisively said: "I will give you the order and immediately abandon the camp and withdraw the entire army into the third battalion."


    “…Zhe.”


    Looking at the expression of Jian Deli leaving, Tuoba Tao knew that he didn''t want to just withdraw. In fact, he didn''t want to withdraw himself, but he couldn''t do it.


    Now the soldiers are almost exhausted from the heat. If they continue to force themselves, only more people will faint from the heat.


    Once the fire is extinguished, the Qin army will definitely attack, but at this time, the overall combat power of the Qing army with heatstroke is less than 30% or 40%. Using such an army to resist the Qin army is simply a death sentence, so Tuoba Tao really had to retreat.


    Tuoba Tao is also a person who can take it and let it go. He naturally would not force it even though he knew it was impossible. However, the back camp far away from the front camp also turned into a steamer, which really made him puzzled.


    After evacuating the mountain village, Tuoba Tao looked back at the terrain on both sides and felt the warm wind blowing towards him. His pupils suddenly shrank, as if he suddenly thought of something.


    "This terrain, this wind direction, is it..."


    Tuoba Tao opened his mouth wide, his face was covered with sweat stains, but it was not caused by heat, but cold sweat.
