Chapter 1263: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (153) Fire
If there is no guide who is familiar with the terrain here, it is difficult for ordinary people to find the Grand Canyon, his entrance is covered by layers of trees, thatch, now it is the season when the flowers and trees grow wildly, the big trees are lush, the shrubs and grass are almost half a person high, the team of thousands of people is sprinkled in the forest, the front does not see the head, the back does not see the tail, only hear the human voice, do not see the human figure.
Nature's barriers could not stop the organized human attack, and the axemen in the front row cut down the trees, cut down the shrubs and grass, and forcibly opened a way forward for the brigade, and when the last few trees fell, the deep passage of the Grand Canyon was presented to everyone.
The entrance is very narrow, only about ten meters wide, but the more you go inside, the more spacious the inside, the widest point has reached more than 100 meters, the summer heat has reached here, it actually becomes a little cold, from time to time there is a wind whistling and blowing, the whining wind refracted through the echo of the canyon, it sounds creepy.
Raise your eyes and look up at both sides, the cliffs are lined up, bare at a glance, occasionally there are a few trees stubbornly oblique upwards on the cliff wall, probing to the sky, greedily grabbing the sunlight leaking from that line of sky, one after another mountain peaks rise from both sides, the high ones are more than 100 meters, the dwarf ones are also tens of meters, the middle of the canyon, there is a thin layer of mist drifting around with the wind, the already little sunlight, is even more diluted.
Between the canyons, even if it is a small voice, it will become louder in the echo again and again, and the atmosphere is a little oppressive, and a well-trained army will naturally be vigilant in this environment, strictly speaking, it is a Jedi.
All the Qin troops involuntarily quickened their pace, if it wasn't for the battle, it was a good place to explore and win, but during the war years, an army of thousands of people passed through here. But it can easily become a nightmare, as long as the two ends are pinched, everyone has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
The soldiers kept their mouths shut, kept their heads down and stared at the bumpy road beneath their feet, one by one nervously weaving through the canyon, but the road was a little too difficult to walk. There was no road at all here, and the Qin army used their own feet to make a way between the undulating and bumpy canyons.
Zhou Liang in the middle of the team did not have the slightest smile on his face, he knew in his heart that this Grand Canyon. It is the burial place of these thousands of Qin soldiers, and the trap arranged by the other party is here. There was no expression on his face, but his heart was up and down, looking at the cliffs on both sides from time to time, estimating when the attack would come.
For betraying these thousands of Qin soldiers, Zhou Liang did not have any burden in his heart, people did not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth were destroyed, and the Yan Kingdom was gone. Qin Guo saw that he was no longer supportive, and if he didn't do anything for himself, he was afraid that he would end up in danger, this was his last chance. Of course, you have to hold on to it.
The Qin State absolutely can't tolerate itself, and Zhongli's death has actually dragged him to the guillotine and survived. It's your last choice.
On the top of the cliff arm of dozens of meters, Niu Teng coldly stared at the Qin army team wriggling forward like ants in the canyon, they had been here for a whole day. One day, it was enough for them to do a lot of things, four thousand Qin soldiers had entered the canyon as a whole, and after half an hour, the Qin army that had marched with great difficulty had completely penetrated into the canyon, and the striker had just arrived at the exit of the canyon, and when they walked out of this canyon, they would appear in the rear of Gucheng Mountain.
If there is no ambush here, the appearance of the Qin army from here is indeed an unexpected good move, but it is a pity that the move they are taking now is arranged for them by the enemy, Niu Teng noticed the person in the canyon who was riding a horse under the banner of the Chinese army, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
There is no faith, no pursuit, but such a person can be in charge of military power in the Qin State, guard the pastoral side, the Qin State is undefeated, and there is heavenly reason?
He raised his hand and whispered, "Begin!" ”
The sound of war drums suddenly rose, and at the exit of the canyon, hundreds of rebels waved their knives to cut off the ropes tied to the trees, and at the end of the ropes, there was a large net woven with extremely thick hemp rope, and the net contained a large stone with a round round stone that had been sharpened off the edges and corners, and the big stone bullet suddenly broke away from the shackles of the rope net, and in a bang, it rolled and danced from the cliff, and fell towards the bottom of the canyon.
The sound of war drums sounded, and the Qin soldiers in the canyon were instantly stunned, they were all veterans, naturally they knew what this meant, and subconsciously raised their heads, and the black spots in the air changed from small to large, and in their pupils appeared huge stones, which were falling quickly from the sky.
The screams resounded through the canyon, the rumbling sound was endless, the stones from the air seemed endless, and the Qin soldiers who were dodging in panic watched as these stone rains fell at the entrance of the canyon, forming a high stone wall. Just now, a group of Qin soldiers tens of meters long had disappeared without a trace, and after a while, the blood of Gugu flowed out from between the cracks in the stones.
"There's an ambush!" Qin Bing screamed, at this time, everyone actually knew what was going on, being in such a Jedi but being attacked by the enemy with premeditation, the fool also knew that something big was going to happen.
The canyon is very narrow, it is a very typical two-ended, thick belly shape in the middle, as soon as the exit is blocked, the Qin army immediately becomes a mess, some turn around and run backwards, some try to climb forward the stone mountains that block the exit, and more are running around, hoping to find a place to hide.
On the steep arm, the stones still kept falling, and while raising the obstacles at the mouth of the gorge, they also began to attack the Qin soldiers in the canyon indiscriminately, and this time, it was not only the stones that fell, but also countless sections of logs and bundles of firewood and grass.
"Retreat, retreat!" Zhou Liang shouted loudly, although he knew that he couldn't retreat at all, seeing those logs and firewood, he had already realized what the opponent's ultimate killer weapon was.
Fire!
This miracle that freed mankind from barbarism has also become the most lethal weapon in history of warfare, and under certain conditions, there are many examples of a fire destroying an entire army.
Today, it was his turn, shouting and retreating, while looking around, looking for a place to hide.
When the Qin army panicked and swarmed to the rear entrance to escape, a loud bang came, accompanied by the loud sound of the sky falling apart was the smoke in the sky and the collapse of the entrance, which was directly blown up by the explosives of the rebel army.
On the cliffs, stones, firewood, and logs were still being thrown downward, and this time, there were countless more jars and jars, and the crisp cracking sound of grease filled the canyon.
At this time, all the Qin soldiers realized what they were about to encounter, some were scolding, some were kneeling and begging for mercy, some were desperately climbing towards the steep cliffs, and some were organizing their men and were trying to climb the stone mountain that was blocking the way in front of them, or the only way out.
More people flocked to the exit, you scramble to climb the stone mountain that is about ten meters high and blocks the way, at this time, what kind of robes, brotherly righteousness, are already gone, the back grabs the clothes of the climber in front, legs and feet, and the people above are mercilessly slashing with knives. In the face of life and death, everything is a floating cloud.
On the top of the mountain, countless figures appeared, the bow and arrow in their hands were opened, and above the arrow, there was a burning flame that made the Qin soldiers tremble.
There was a rain of fire in the sky, and a burst of hellfire rose on the ground. In the canyon, strange rocks, weeds, and shrubs gathered, at this time, became the source of fire, and in an instant, the canyon has become a sea of fire, but it is a hell for creatures.
The rebels on the top of the hill kept throwing down the firewood that had already been bundled, trying to make the fire burn bigger. And at the exit, a rebel army of hundreds of people with spears, bows and arrows in hand, firmly staring at the pile of stones, Shenfan figure flashed from above, and immediately a burst of arrows shot over, occasionally someone got lucky to climb down, and then they would encounter rows of spears with flashing cold light to stab at the face.
The fire burned for half a day, from the previous ghost crying wolf howl, miserable scream, to the last silence, the fire was extinguished, but the smoke was still rising, Niu Teng, who was standing on the top of the mountain, looked at the canyon that had become a hell, even if his heart was as hard as iron, he couldn't help but feel palpitations at this moment.
"I'll go to eighteen floors of hell!" He muttered under his breath.
An hour later, the stone mountain blocking the road was moved to open a passage, and Niu Teng led the rebels into the canyon, and the aroma of barbecued meat permeated the entire canyon, but everyone who came in was disgusted. Wen Yi, who followed Niu Teng, endured for a moment, finally turned around, bent over, and vomited, Wen Yi's vomiting was like sending a signal, and the sound of vomiting sounded everywhere in the canyon.
Niu Teng didn't vomit, he slowly walked between the charred, strangely shaped corpses.
With a bang, after a few rocks, between a pool of water, a figure came out of it, staring at Niu Teng viciously, Wen Yi, who had just vomited and turned pale, and several other soldiers hurriedly surrounded Niu Teng in the middle.
Niu Teng was startled at first, and then saw the person's appearance clearly, but laughed: "General Zhou Liang, I knew that you would not die." ”
"Are you looking at me and being burned to death?" Zhou Liang said viciously.
"How so? We are collaborators, in this battle, our department did not hurt a single person and annihilated more than 4,000 people of the Qin army, and the general should be the first merit! Niu Teng laughed.
"I don't want it anymore, I just want you to fulfill your promise and send me to Han to be incognito."
"Of course, of course." Niu Teng nodded again and again, but there was a pity in his heart, why didn't he burn this guy to death, now that he is still alive, he is embarrassed to do this again. (To be continued......)
