Chapter 226: Extinguishing the Fire
After five laps around the mountain, there are two-story palace-style buildings on both sides of the mountain road. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Soldiers and the poor were given a chance to rest.
Ye Cheng was on the edge of the mountain road, grasping a piece of wood from a two-story palace-style building, and his upper body stretched out from the edge of the cliff, trying to look down on the situation below, but there was a heat wave surging up from under the trees, and the heat wave blew the dry leaves and made a sizzling sound.
"I don't know what's going on down there now?" Ye Cheng said secretly in his heart.
At this time, Zhu Ziye ran up happily and shouted, "Brother, eighth brother"
Ye Cheng heard the shouting and hurriedly ran to the middle of the road.
Although it is not snowing now, the air in Yecheng is still very cold, so some poor people and soldiers have already entered the second-story palace-style building to rest, and only a part of the soldiers and poor people who are slightly stronger are left waiting on the mountain road, waiting for something to help.
Zhu Ziye was in front of Ye Cheng, supporting his knees with both hands, and said panting, "The attack of the Condor Arrow has stopped."
"Great," Ye Cheng said to himself happily in his heart.
At this time, Cao Rou took the others to Ye Cheng's back.
Bai Yingping asked, "Do you know the range of the Condor Arrow?" ”
Zhu Ziye nodded and replied, "Well, just after we retreated around the mountain road, the range of the Condor Arrow has not changed, and I think that is the maximum range of the Condor Arrow." ”
Zhu Ziye continued with a somewhat flustered expression, "But the mountain fire is still burning, and it has burned to the trees in the last circle, and it is certain that it will spread. So General Bai Fang asked me to come up and ask if there was any way to extinguish this mountain fire."
When Ye Cheng heard this, he showed a pair of shocked eyes in an instant! I secretly said to myself, "No wonder my body stretched out of the mountain road just now, and I felt a heat wave coming towards me, and it turned out that the mountain fire caused by the eagle arrow burned up."
"Eighth Brother"
"Eighth Brother"
......
Zhu Ziye shouted, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally he leaned in front of Yeye City and shouted.
Ye Cheng came to his senses, apologized a little panicked, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have any good solutions"
"Do you think it's okay to use this?" At this time, Zhuziju squatted on the ground and grabbed a hand of snow and looked up at everyone.
Ye Cheng also considered using the snow to heat up and turn into water to extinguish the fire, but the snow on the ground was already very thin, and when Zhu Ziju grabbed the snow, the muddy yellow soil had already been exposed, so it was not enough to extinguish the raging fire.
He also thought about bringing the snow down from the mountains, but the road around the mountain was densely wooded, and most of the snow left on the trees would not be enough to extinguish the fire.
So this method doesn't work either.
"What kind of fire can this snow be used for?" Zhu Zi'an complained on the side.
"Brother Ziju is right, if you want to extinguish the fire, you can only use snow," Ye Cheng said firmly.
In order to shorten the time and prevent everyone from brainstorming, Ye Cheng said what he thought in his heart, "If we want to put out the fire, we must gather a lot of snow. If you want to have a lot of snow, you have to take it from the mountains, and it's impossible to go down directly, so you have to use people to go up and bring the snow down."
"But with us people, when will we get the amount of snow to put out the fire?" Bai Yingping asked with a puzzled face.
Suddenly, Cao Rou stood up and said with a serious face, "I'll leave this to me."
"What can you do?" Ye Cheng asked.
Cao Rou replied with a smile, "You asked me to accompany you up the mountain, and now this is where my value lies"
After Cao Rou finished speaking, she turned to face the people who were squatting outside the palace-style building, and said, "People of the Heavenly Ancient Kingdom, although you have escaped the attack of the Divine Eagle Arrow, there is another danger now, that is, the mountain fire will spread at any time. So I'd like to ask everybody to help me get the snow up the mountain and down the mountain."
"By the way, poor people!" Ye Cheng exclaimed!
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and as long as all the snow on the mountain is still down, it is not impossible to extinguish the fire.
"But will the poor people move?" Ye Cheng remained skeptical.
The poor people standing outside the building stood up one after another and gathered in the middle of the mountain road around the mountain. And among the 1,000 soldiers, some slightly stronger old people or children also gathered in the middle.
A pauper shouted "Princess, we listen to you, how much snow do you want, let's go get it back"
"I know you're going to be tired, but I need all the snow on the mountain," Cao Rou said.
"Okay," replied the poor man. Then he turned to look at the mountain road and shouted, "Did you hear that?" The princess needs us to carry a lot of snow down for her, so we have to go up the mountain."
The poor men began to walk towards the mountain road, and the poor and rich began to follow slowly.
In the end, only Ye Cheng and others were left on this section of the mountain road.
"Eighth brother, we will also go up to help carry the snow," Zhu Ziju said.
"Brother Ziju, you bring people up, I'll stay and watch the fire under the mountain" Ye Cheng believed that those poor people would bring the snow to him, and he had to find the strong point of the fire, and then push a large amount of snow down, and completely extinguish the fire with one fatal move.
To kill people, you need to find weaknesses, and to put out fires, you need to find strong points.
Because only when the strongest fires are extinguished, then the other small fires will be easier.
Ye Cheng walked to the edge of the mountain road, and a heat wave came again, but soon his eyes gradually widened, revealing a frightened look.
The mountain road around the mountain below was already on fire, and the flames began to spread to the trees outside their circle.
The flames came from the left-hand side, and Ye Cheng decided that this was the strong point.
At this time, General Bai Fang ran up with the people who were still behind just now.
Bai Fang suddenly flashed in front of Ye Cheng, he looked down at the bottom of the cliff and said, "What should I do, the fire has spread."
"Don't worry, there is already a way" Ye Cheng said.
After some time.
With the help of a large number of poor people, a large amount of snow was transported to the location where Yecheng was located. Flames have burned to the pillars that support the palace-style buildings on the mountain road below.
The situation was in crisis, and Ye Cheng hurriedly shouted, "Push, push the snow down"
The snow was as high as an adult man, and with the help of a dozen people, it was pushed down the cliff.
The heat quickly melted the snow into water, which was beating on the fire.
Just now there was a fire that burned to the pillars, but now the flames have receded and have a tendency to be extinguished.
Ye Cheng struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly asked people to push another pile of snow down. Because of the heavy amount of snow, the branches of the trees could not hold back at all, so all the snow fell on the fire.
Where the snow was blown, smoke began to rise, and traces of black charcoal appeared.
"This method is useful, but looking at it this way, it still needs a lot of snow," Bai Fang looked down.
"Hmm," Ye Cheng nodded.
At this time, the white-clothed army turned around and shouted, "The white-clothed army who can still move and I will carry the snow down."
With everyone's help, the raging fires have been extinguished. There was no snow on the mountain road around the mountain where Ye Cheng was standing, revealing a mud-colored yellow earth.
