Chapter 683: Agni

As soon as Zhao Hong's voice fell, before the surrounding soldiers had time to react, they saw wooden barrels filled with gasoline, which were thrown by the guards who were ambushed on the peaks on both sides of the canyon with trebuchets.

Suddenly, countless wooden barrels filled with gasoline crossed a graceful arc from the air, fell on the canyon road, burst, and spilled the gasoline in the barrels everywhere, and many soldiers were also contaminated with a lot of gasoline.

Zhao Hong looked at the gasoline that burst out of the barrel, smelled the special smell of gasoline, frowned, and began to think about what gasoline was.

However, before Zhao Hong could think of a reason, he saw countless rockets, like torrential rain, shooting out from the peaks on both sides of the canyon, forming a dense network of arrows, pouring towards the 50,000 troops in the canyon road.

Suddenly, the gasoline that had been sprinkled all over the canyon burned instantly after the rocket landed, and the 50,000 elite soldiers standing in the canyon road were suddenly wrapped in scorching flames, and there was a terrible scream.

And those soldiers who were stained with gasoline were even more unlucky, the moment the fire burned, their clothes were set on fire, and they could only let out a miserable howl, while throwing their weapons to the ground, lying on the ground and rolling.

However, it was good that they did not roll, and as soon as they did, the gasoline that had not yet been ignited in the canyon road began to burn under the guidance of the flames on their bodies.

The scorching flames devoured them in an instant, and they let out a miserable howl helplessly, letting the flames on their bodies burn more and more, falling into a desperate situation of powerlessness, under the roasting flames, slowly losing the breath of life, becoming a charred corpse and the fuel of the flames.

Listening to the terrible screams, after seeing the soldiers who were wrapped in flames and slowly burned to charcoal, the surrounding soldiers did not care about any orders and discipline, and hurriedly ran towards the entrance and exit of the canyon, wanting to quickly leave the canyon and escape with their lives while the fire had not completely ignited the entire canyon.

As thousands of soldiers were engulfed by the raging flames ignited by gasoline, countless soldiers turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the canyon, and suddenly, the road dozens of meters wide instantly became narrow and crowded.

In the innermost part of the canyon, feeling the scorching flames, the soldiers who were spreading towards their side, under the threat of being engulfed by the raging fire, scolded a few times, not caring about the friendship of the robe, dancing the steel knife in his hand, brutally killing the soldiers who were blocking the way in front of him, and without hesitation, he stepped over the corpse of the former robe and rushed towards the entrance of the canyon.

At this moment, Zhao Hong's 50,000 elite soldiers have become no different from the fierce beasts, in their hearts, except for quickly moving away from this place of death, there is no superfluous thought, all those who stand in their way are their enemies, and they will be ruthlessly attacked.

The trees on both sides of the canyon have already been coated with gasoline by the guards, so under the guidance of the raging flames, the trees on both sides of the canyon have also burned.

The elite soldiers who took advantage of the chaos to flee into the mountains and forests on both sides of the canyon were even more unlucky, and were directly engulfed by the raging fire burning from the mountains and trees, constantly letting out unwilling roars and helpless wails, and finally turned into a charred corpse, or became the fuel of the flames, increasing the intensity of the flames.

Zhao Hong felt the scorching breath of the raging fire in the canyon, and then looked at the soldiers who were ignited by the flames and let out a scream, and the soldiers who were like madmen, turning into fierce beasts, involuntarily let out a lament, and the smug color on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless frustration and remorse.

An adjutant beside Zhao Hong, seeing the chaotic scene in the canyon and the growing fire, was very anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, let's run away quickly!" The green mountains left behind, we are not afraid of no material to burn, as long as the lives of adults are there, we still have the opportunity to avenge the dead brothers.

Once an adult unfortunately dies in this canyon, not only will he not have a chance to seek revenge on Zhao Hu's bastard, but it will also make the territory fall into turmoil because of the loss of his adult, and then let Zhao Hu's bastard have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Zhao Hong is also a decisive person, the reason why he was in a low mood just now and let out a helpless lament was only because a fire burned his ambition and the ambition in his heart, so he couldn't turn around all of a sudden and fell into a predicament.

When the adjutant's shouting pulled Zhao Hong out of his sluggish mood, Zhao Hong looked up to the sky and sighed, the frustration on his face disappeared instantly, his eyes released hatred and determination, and shouted at the adjutant beside him: "That's right, we still have a chance to save our lives." ”

"Drive!"

With Zhao Hong's soft shout, three thousand cavalry troops who were not attacked by the flames and still kept a complete formation followed behind Zhao Hong, wielding the scimitar in their hands, mercilessly slashing a soldier who was in the way, and quickly rushed towards the entrance of the canyon.

Seeing Zhao Hong leading 3,000 cavalry, ruthlessly killing a small soldier like himself, trying to get out of this canyon before the entire canyon was completely burned, to avoid the fate of being engulfed by fire.

Those elite soldiers who had already fallen into a crazy situation had red eyes, not caring about Zhao Hong's identity at all, and slashed the steel knife in their hands towards Zhao Hong and the three thousand cavalry behind him.

And some crossbowmen, seeing that the cavalry did not care about the friendship of the robes, wanted to abandon themselves, and fled alone out of the canyon, immediately with a cold light in their eyes, took off the bows and crossbows on their backs, and shot sharp arrows at the bodies of those cavalrymen.

Once a cavalryman was killed by a crossbowman or other elite soldiers, the soldiers around him who had not yet been ignited by the flames ran forward, led the horse that had lost its owner, turned over, and stabbed the steel knife in his hand to the horse's buttocks, driving the horse in a state of severe pain and madness, kicking down and trampling a soldier crowded together in front of him, and galloping towards the entrance of the canyon.

When the 50,000 troops in the canyon fell into chaos and killed each other in order to give themselves a chance to survive, countless wooden barrels filled with gasoline flew out of the peaks on both sides of the canyon and fell towards the chaotic army.

Rockets followed, igniting barrels filled with gasoline one by one, releasing raging flames, igniting the clothes of a soldier who had no time to escape, dancing frantically in the flames, and letting out a terrible scream.

As time passed, there was more and more gasoline in the canyon, the fire became more and more intense, and the dense mountain forests on both sides of the canyon were also completely ignited, and a raging flame enveloped the entire lower canyon, burning all the elite soldiers who fell into the canyon and could not escape in time to ashes.

At this time, Zhao Hong also knew that time was urgent, if he couldn't get out of the sea of fire in the shortest time, even if he had super strength, he would be burned to ashes, so he no longer retained any strength, pulled out the long sword on his body, and roared: "Whirlwind Slash!" ”

Suddenly, I saw a sharp sword light appear in front of Zhao Hong, dozens of elite soldiers who were blocking the way were instantly cut in half by the sharp sword light, stumps and broken arms and blood mist flew in the air, and the soldiers blocking the way in front immediately let out a frightened scream, and quickly retreated to the side, making way of a spacious road.

"Drive!"

With a soft shout, Zhao Hong ignored the frightened eyes of the soldiers at all, drove the horse under him, jumped from the road that the soldiers had away, and galloped towards the entrance of the canyon.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

One by one, the tripping ropes broke the legs of the horses and slammed them into the ground in front of them.

And Zhao Hong, who was riding on the horse, jumped up from the horse's back at the moment when the horse broke his legs and let out a mournful roar, broke away from the body of the war horse, and landed on the ground in front of him without danger.

The more than 1,000 elite cavalry who followed Zhao Hong and escaped from the sea of fire in the canyon did not have such good skills, so they could only slam into the hard road with the war horses.

The lucky cavalry only suffered a little concussion in their internal organs, and they were fine after resting for a while, while the unlucky ones hit the ground directly with their heads, and had a close contact with the hard stone, flowing out white brains, and their souls returned to the underworld, while most of the cavalry were thrown into dizziness, their legs were broken and broken, and they could not continue to fight.

When the more than 1,000 surviving cavalrymen stood or lay on the ground, looking at the raging flames burning behind them, they were extremely glad that they had escaped, and kept cursing Zhao Hu loudly, Zhao Hong clenched the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly to the surviving cavalry: "Assemble, form a formation!" ”

At the moment of landing, Zhao Hong knew that the road in front of him had been blocked by the enemy, otherwise, the other party would not have set up so many tripping ropes here, so that his group could not drive the war horse out of the encirclement.

Therefore, he did not have time to carefully observe the surrounding environment, and regardless of whether the cavalry who had fallen and was in shock had regained his strength and spirit, he wanted to gather those cavalry to his side and form a formation to protect himself.
