Since ancient times, there had been many combat techniques and they were not limited to just one type. However, there had never been a combat technique that specifically targeted the forest. This was because the forest had always been one of the country's sources of wealth. Very few people would lure their enemies into the forest to avoid destroying the trees and beasts in the mountains.
Although Qi Xiuyuan was tempted by Qi Haoran's suggestion, he did not agree immediately for he could not sacrifice the next generation's interests for a temporary victory. If he won a battle in the forest by this method and the other soldiers followed suit, what would happen if the Hu people burned the forest in anger?
In Xingzhou Prefecture, many commoners relied on Chef Mountain and Mount Jiexi for a living. If they were really burned down, everyone would curse the Qi family's ancestors to the 18th generation.
