The wind was strong and blew off the branches.

The fire was very big, and it took only a dozen breaths from the beginning to the time it was fired.

The fire was lit at the foot of the mountain, and as the wind quickly burned to the mountainside, it reached the top of the mountain. Akutsu Hui looked at the fire in the sky and sighed secretly: "Chiba Noji is going to be finished!" ”

Turning his head to look at the expressionless middle-aged man, Akutsu Hui felt a feeling in his heart that he had never felt before, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, fearful and cold.

For the sake of these five thousand armor soldiers, the other party planned for several days, and led Chiba Noyoshi to hell step by step.

The 10,000 armored samurai of the Chiba clan are difficult to match, and in close combat, they can defeat one enemy and two without falling behind, and Akutsu Hui knows it. She also thought about how to restrain this group of warriors, and finally came up with two methods, one is to gather superior forces to surround and annihilate them, at least more than 30,000 warriors can eliminate them, but if these 10,000 armor soldiers want to run 30,000 people, they can't keep it. The second is to shoot with a bow and arrow, not giving the opponent a chance to fight in close combat, but even this cannot annihilate them all.

Letting go of the method of burning the mountain, Akutsu Hui never thought about it, or she never dared to think about it. Because the Wa Kingdom is mountainous, the Wa people believe that there are gods on each mountain and respect the mountain very much, so the Wa Kingdom is constantly in war but rarely burns the mountain.

What's more, this method is really too ruthless, but it's also very... Effective.

The whole mountain was like a volcano, and there was a wail from the mountain, and the foot of the mountain had been burned to ashes, except for the branches of some large trees that were still burning, and thick black smoke was emitting. The fire on the mountainside was still very large, and some "fire men" could vaguely be seen escaping from the fire, and after a few wails, they fell to the ground.

Chiba Noyoshi was embarrassed, his clothes were torn by the branches and vines on the side of the road, so he looked tattered, and the sweat on his face mixed with black ash made him look like a long-wandering beggar.

He followed dozens of samurai all the way to the top of the mountain, even if he was exhausted, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, a hot air came from behind him, and several backward samurai were instantly engulfed in the sea of fire, Chiba Noji turned his head and looked, the samurai just now had become a "fire man" wailing, calling for help.

Chiba Noyoshi let out a strange scream, he didn't understand why this was happening at all, half an hour ago he was still in command of the most elite five thousand armor soldiers in the family, half an hour ago he was chasing Toyotomi Shunyi like chasing a lost dog, but after only half an hour everything disappeared, a sudden fire burned everything he had, like a nightmare.

When did the nightmare start? From the beginning of his entry into this mountain forest, he was still full of ambition and thought that he had besieged Toyotomi Shunyi, so he ordered his men to search slowly and not let anyone go.

I don't know who turned their heads first, and then they screamed, and everyone turned their heads to look, the fire was terrifying, and the hot smoke that spread quickly made everyone run to the top of the mountain quickly.

Chiba Noyoshi didn't understand what was going on, who set the fire under the mountain, was it Toyotomi Shunyoshi? He was obviously on the mountain, and if he was allowed to set fire, wouldn't he himself be burned to death? Does he want to die with him?

Chiba Noyoshi gritted his teeth and sped up, his hatred for Toyotomi Shunyi reached its peak, and he vowed to kill him with his own hands when he reached the top of the mountain and saw Toyotomi Shunyoshi, even if he died and let him be buried for himself.

Running fast didn't give Chiba Noyoshi much time to think, and at first there were thousands of people around him, but then there were only a few dozen people left, and the others either ran slowly and were swallowed up in the sea of fire and smoke, or they were pushed to the ground by the people behind them, and then they never got up again. It's not that Chiba Noyoshi is running fast, it's the samurai around him who have been supporting him to run.

Finally, the summit of the mountain arrived, and a canyon was like an abyss of death that engulfed the vitality and hope of the remaining samurai, and everyone turned pale, many of the samurai knelt on the ground and cried weakly, and dozens of people looked at Chiba Noyoshi helplessly, hoping that he could take them to life.

What about Toyotomi Shunyi?

Chiba Noyoshi looked around, there was no one around the top of the mountain except them, he was not reconciled, and searched carefully, and a few ropes tied to the trees on the side of the cliff caught his attention.

At this time, he was more calm, he pulled the rope up, and there were traces of cutting at the other end of the rope, and according to the length of the rope, he judged that Toyotomi Shunyi must not have followed the rope down the cliff, but connected the cliffs on both sides with the rope, and used some method to reach the other side of the cliff through the rope, and then cut the rope.

An uncontrollable anger filled Chiba Nokishi's chest, and he found that he had been tricked, and he had been played thoroughly, and his IQ was crushed to the ground and shattered into slag.

He looked back and saw dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him hopefully, and said loudly: "You see, the fire is getting smaller and smaller, as long as we break through this sea of fire quickly, we can survive, and now there is only a dead end when we stay on the top of the mountain and wait for the fire to burn, who wants to follow General Ben to break through?" ”

Dozens of samurai glanced at each other, and they all knew that there was little hope of surviving through this sea of fire, and they were likely to die in the sea of fire like their companions not long ago, so even if Chiba Noyoshi spoke, they hesitated.

"If I survive, you will all become meritorious men of the Chiba clan, and if you live, you will have countless money and women, even if you die, I will treat your family well, they will have many rewards, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Chiba Noyoshi's face turned red, he pulled out his knife and pointed in one direction, and said, "Now, rush over!" ”

A samurai gritted his teeth and rushed over, and the other samurai also pulled out their swords and rushed over when they saw this, they had no choice now, if Chiba Noji died, even if they returned home alive, it would be a disaster, and it would be not only themselves who would die, but also their families, so even if there was a sea of fire in front of them, they would rush over and break a way out for Chiba Noyoshi.

Of course, it would be better if you could survive!

……

……

The sun is in the west, and the sunset is still shining.

The whole mountain turned black, and the fire grew smaller after reaching the top, and there was smoke everywhere on the mountain, and some tree trunks were still burning, and I don't know how long it would burn.

Akutsu pursed her lips, her expression numb, no one had escaped from the mountain until now, and she knew that the chances of surviving such a large fire were slim.

She didn't care about Chiba Noyoshi's life or death, she only cared about her own safety, she didn't dare to move when she sat on the horse, so at this time, the sides of her legs were particularly painful, and her back was like she was about to break. She carefully leaned down on her horse, and was slightly relieved to find that no one was paying attention to her.

Cao Bin watched all this silently, from the ignition of the fire to the enormity of the fire, and then to the slow extinguishing of the fire. He looked at the sky and ordered to go back when no one came down.

"Hey, there's still someone alive......"

Akutsu Hui looked up in astonishment when he heard this, only to see a figure rushing down the mountain quickly. His whole body was black, his face was covered with charcoal black, and he still held a knife tightly in his hand, swinging the knife as he went, slashing at the branches and vines in front of him that had not yet been burned.

From the first glance, Akutsu recognized him.

"Chiba Noji ......" wants to chat with more like-minded people about "Daming Qingshi", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
