Chapter 192: Heavy rain from the sky
General Zhong on the other side of the dense forest, seeing that the two battalions of forbidden soldiers rushed into the dense forest, were not strongly blocked, so he ordered the other three battalions to drive into the dense forest at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info His idea was to capture Song Qi in one fell swoop and not give him the slightest chance to escape.
Suddenly, on the hill, he saw smoke rising from the canopy of the trees and rising into the sky like a mushroom cloud. You can see the fire shining in the dense forest. The birds in the forest were frightened, and the birds flew through the tall and thick canopy into the sky, and the wild beasts fled out of the forest in panic.
"Not good! Hit by the enemy's fire attack! He was so frightened that he almost fell from his chair, and he cried out in a rage: "Give me my orders!" Let everyone get out of the woods quickly! ā
"Yes!" The herald agreed, rode a fast horse and caught up with the three battalions behind, conveying the order of the final general.
Fortunately, it was not long before his order was issued, and the three battalions of forbidden soldiers had just driven into the edge of the dense forest. After hearing the order, he hurriedly retreated. In fact, when they reached the edge of the forest, they saw the fire, and they also felt the heat of the fire, even if the general did not give the order to retreat, they did not dare to go in half a step.
"Shen Ying Officer, Ji Ying Officer, the general ordered you to withdraw from the forest!" The herald immediately stood at the edge of the forest, waving the order flag into the woods, and shouted in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, a hundred and ten anxious forbidden soldiers stumbled out of the forest, including the Shen Ying Officer, none of their clothes were clean and complete, and they were in a state of embarrassment, as if they had escaped from hell.
They didn't flee because they were ordered to retreat, they were driven out by fire. They have longer legs and run faster. They are the lucky ones.
In an instant, countless flames scurried out of the ground in the forest like snakes. Immediately afterward, the raging flames surged from tree to tree like a flood that burst the levees, unhindered and unhindered. And like a pouring of mercury, it flowed down to the grass on the hillside.
The herald's seated horse, scorched with its hooves burned by the blazing flames, suddenly neighed and bounced suddenly, nearly knocking the herald off his horse. The herald hurriedly grabbed the saddle, turned the horse's head and fled in the direction of leaving the forest.
The three battalions of forbidden soldiers, who had just retreated slowly and casually, saw the flames protruding from the forest, and they were immediately frightened and fled in all directions like frightened sheep.
And those forbidden soldiers who had just escaped from the woods, those who ran fast, naturally got out of danger and picked up a life, and those who ran slowly, because their bodies had been scorched by the fire, were easy to start a fire, and suddenly they were surrounded by fire again. Suddenly they became fire men again, rolling on the ground, howling and rolling down the hillside...
Suddenly, the smoke rising high in the sky and the light clouds in the sky merged, and this light cloud turned into a dark cloud in an instant, pressing down into the low sky. The ground became dark in a blink of an eye, making it difficult for the people on the other side to be in a trance, and it was difficult to see their faces.
"Boom~"
Suddenly, a dull thunderclap sounded in the sky, shaking the dark cloud open, and from the middle of this hole came a white lightning bolt like a long snake, which moved and flickered in the sky.
It's really unpredictable. In the eyes of the eyes, the sky changed color.
Perhaps the heavens heard Song Qi's pious prayer to forgive the sins of those forbidden soldiers, and deliberately wanted to rain down to extinguish this life-threatening fire.
Song Qi and the others were still sitting by the stream just now, looking at the forbidden soldiers struggling with death, with a lot of guilt and heartache in their hearts, and they always felt that they had created a sin.
It seems that people have good and bad luck! Now it's up to them to worry about their situation. Once the heavy rain extinguishes the fires in the forest, the eight or nine thousand forbidden soldiers can easily pass through the dense forest, and that's when their own nightmare begins.
"It's going to rain!" Some people even feel the dripping of wet rain on their faces, which is a cold but refreshing feeling.
Song Qi looked up at the dim sky that was so gloomy that it was about to drip water, and shook his head and sighed speechlessly.
With a frown, he silently stood up from the stone and waved his hand to the other brothers embarrassedly, "Let's get out of here!" Once the rain falls, it can completely extinguish the fire in the forest in just two hours. His implication was that when the fire was extinguished, he would not be able to walk if he wanted to.
In the face of sudden weather changes, everyone naturally understands that it is not only the weather that has changed dramatically, but also their situation. No one thought that it was Song Qi who caused the wind and rain, and no one blamed Song Qi. Everyone stood up, stomped their feet, and said urgently: "Yes, get out of here!" ā
"What about the captives?" Hua Meng turned his head to ask Song Qi for instructions.
Song Qi said weakly: "Just stay here!" ā
Ao Bao picked up his sword, walked up to several bound captives, shook it, and shouted in a low voice: "Do you want to die or live?" ā
The captive soldier's face turned frightened, and he replied tremblingly: "Live and live!" ā
Ao Leopard's hand shook, and the blade of the sword pressed against the neck of a man who looked like the leader of the forbidden soldiers, and said sharply: "If you dare to be your grandfather's enemy again, you will definitely not spare it next time!" ā
"Don't dare, don't dare! I promise to never be my grandfather's enemy again! The forbidden soldiers said in response.
They gathered their bows and arrows, each with his weapon, and left the few horses to the wounded brothers, while the others retreated on foot, and began to gallop on the third point in the mountains.
Originally, everyone thought that the great work had been done, and these two battles would be enough to contain the enemy on the side of the dense forest. They can leave calmly. Some of them even felt a sense of regret that the third battle was useless.
Now they can only pin their last hope on the third choke point.
The crowd ran along the winding and rugged mountain paths. The horses galloped all the way ahead, and those who ran on foot were no slower than their horses. After all, this is an escape, and the power of instinct is infinite.
In the midst of their rapid retreat, two more lightning bolts struck in the sky, and the rain had already fallen.
Less than ten miles after the crowd had run out, the raindrops changed from occasional drops to sparse bean-sized drops, then to dense rain lines, and finally to a downpour that covered the sky. In this way, if it lasts for another hour, all the fires in the dense forest can be extinguished.
The crowd did not dare to stay for a while, and braved the pouring rain to move forward resolutely. They must run to the third point as soon as possible, rendezvous with Mingyu and the others, and rearrange in order to finally contain the enemy's crushing encirclement... (To be continued.) )
