Chapter 5: The Burning of the Rock Mountain
Under the command of Enyeyama and Maskira, those warriors who had just faded in the fog and were lighting a bonfire to take out dry food and prepare for a hot breakfast immediately put down the dry food in their hands and threw themselves into the slightly tense preparations for war, people kept trotting down the mountains, and some people followed their leaders to hide in the dense forest, I have to say that these warriors were really good, and it didn't take long for them to find their positions according to the leader's arrangement, take out their weapons and wait for the war to come.
Enyeyama and Maskira, leading their warriors, hid their bodies from two rocky hills beside the road, and looked up from above to see the situation below.
Soon after they were ready, the roar of footsteps came to everyone's ears from far and near, and along with the sound came a long snake composed of a long stream of people, this long snake in the process, from where they stood on the mountain, they could see that each other was mainly brown and blue, and at the tail of the long snake was a mixed stream of people, rolling in the direction where they were hidden.
As the long snake approached, the hidden warriors, holding the weapons and wooden shields, tightly placed their weapons on their chests, ready to attack at any time, they felt the blood of war burning in their bodies, and their incomparable desire for war.
And Enyeyama and Maskira, their eyes were shining with excitement, and even their hands holding weapons trembled slightly, and they knew that in the coming war, they would destroy the young man who the people had praised each other in one fell swoop, and they would get the legendary land of abundance, and history would be rewritten on this day. They will be the heroes of the poet's mouth, and they will be both excited and nervous about this day.
"My lord! My lord! Why did the enemy suddenly stop? β
Just as they were fantasizing about a beautiful future. The voice of a guard came from behind him, interrupting Masquira's fantasies. He followed the guard's words and looked down, and sure enough, as the guard said, the enemy, who was still moving rapidly just now, suddenly stopped, and the whole land was silent and terrible for a while, and a solemn smell condensed and circulated in the air.
"My lord, what should we do now? Offense? β
The guard holds a bow and arrow in his hand and pulls his bow and spins it upward. He asked in a low voice beside his leader, for fear that the voice would be heard by the enemy.
"How to attack? Now that they have not entered the predetermined place, besides, can your bow and arrows reach the ranks of people from here? Rubbish! What are you panicking about? Wait, see how Enyeyama on the other side arranges, we are allies now, and we have to do it and wait for everyone to move together. β
When Maskira heard the guard's words, she didn't withdraw her gaze from a distance, and mentally estimated the distance the other party would stay. didn't even turn his head back, and directly scolded the people behind him depressedly.
No wonder he was depressed, and now the situation annoyed him, and the enemy suddenly stopped his march. And the hell it's out of their range, what's the fuck? For the charging Vikings, so dodgy. Seeing that the enemy is in front of you and cannot attack, the depression in my heart can be imagined.
"What's going on? How do they stop? Found us? β
At the same time. Enyeama also saw the enemy's movements, and there was some doubt in his eyes. He whispered to himself.
"My lord! Now what do we do? β
The same inquiry sounded beside him, Enyeyama heard the inquiry, turned his head to look at the opposite woods, from his distance, he could see from a distance, in the opposite woods, many people with bows and arrows lurking in it, everything was normal, he hurriedly walked towards the back, stood on tiptoe and looked behind the mountain, and saw that the people below were well hidden and not exposed, a very bad feeling wandered in his heart.
"Wait! See what the hell the other person is going to do? β
Although it felt very bad, but before it was clear what the enemy would do next, Enyeyama had to choose to wait, and among many factors, he did not expect this situation to occur now.
"My lord! Look! They lit a bonfire? As if to rest and eat? β
When he was puzzled, there was an exclamation from his subordinates, he hurriedly walked a few steps, returned to the hiding place, raised his head and looked down, and sure enough, he saw that just as his subordinates said, the other party did light a dozen or so bonfires, the flames were burning, and many people gathered around the fire, seemingly holding slender branches in their hands, and a pair of roasted dry food.
Seeing this, Enyeama completely relieved his heart, and his bad feeling suddenly disappeared, and he let out a long breath of turbidity, and felt funny in his heart that he had just panicked.
Now he understands that it turned out that the other party was marching early in the morning, and now he should have stopped and rested and eaten for a while, which made him feel crying and laughing again, and he didn't know if this Evan was going to be a full ghost before he died, and he came here to eat, which was really interesting enough.
"My lord, my lord's - oh no, no, no"
Just when Enyeyama felt ridiculous, he remembered the hurried shouts around him, and the anxious shouts did not have any effect? For Enyeyama had seen countless flaming arrows coming at them, perhaps too far away, perhaps too high where they stood, and those arrows made graceful arcs, and before they could reach them, they turned their heads to the earth.
"What's the panic? Can their little rocket set the woods on fire? Besides, they can't shoot that far, what's the hurry? Now it looks like they've found us? β
Enyeama was startled at the sight of the other man shooting arrows at them, and he sensed that the other party had discovered them, but he soon kept his composure, and shouted loudly at the panic of his men.
"Order the team allβwait!"
Just as he was about to give the order to attack, his voice stopped abruptly. Because he saw that the opponent after this round of volleys. Didn't even continue shooting, but regained tranquility? What should I do if I go on? Looks like they didn't do what they just did? This phenomenon surprised Enyeyama. The doubts in his heart also deepened again, and he couldn't help but doubt the other party's intentions, "Does the other party also know that the other party can't shoot us here?" Or is the other party just tempting? β
Just as he was amazed by the enemy's movements, the hidden warriors in the rear, at the foot of the mountain, let out a loud cry that rushed into his ears, which made him curse in his heart, "Bad! "Making a sound at this time is definitely a startling snake. Apparently informing the enemy that there was an ambush, Enyeama radiated fire and anger as he walked briskly backwards, and he was now eager to kill the person who made the noise immediately.
When he walked quickly to the observation place behind the mountain, he hurriedly leaned forward and looked down, which didn't matter, and directly surprised him that he almost fell, but fortunately, the guards behind him were quick and quick. supported his fallen body, which didn't make him embarrassed in public.
Feeling that he was being held up, he took a few deep breaths and stabilized his emotions. Enyeama shook aside the guards who were holding him and quickly looked over the hill opposite, hoping for the terrible situation that had arisen here. It was just an accident, but reality hit him again. The same scene jumped into my eyes again, and I saw a raging fire burning from the bottom of the mountain on the opposite side. The entire mountain, from the bottom up, was being engulfed in flames rising into the sky.
"My lord! My lord! Oh no! Oh no! Burn up, burn up! β
Just as Enyeyama was taken aback, anxious words came from behind him.
"Quick! Tell everyone to find their way down the mountain! β
Awakened by the sound, Enyeyama made the right arrangements at the first time, and he himself and the guards also ran quickly towards the back of the mountain, hoping that it would not be ignited and leave a way to escape.
Just when he was hurriedly dodging, there was a question in his heart for a long time, that is! How could a tiny rocket ignite a rocky mountain? Doesn't that make sense? But now it's too late to think of anything, the most important thing now is to run for his life, as long as he stays alive, he must kill Evan, cut off his flesh piece by piece, and feed the fish with his bones in pieces.
While Enyeyama and Masquira were in dire straits, Evan, who had done all this, was in his own ranks, watching from a distance, and now the whole mountain had been set on fire, and the occasional loud cry for help could be heard from the top and at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing this situation, he did not give the order to attack in a hurry, but watched the excitement with the soldiers like a bystander, thinking that there was a "Burning Vine Armor Soldier" on the classical masterpiece he had read before, but he didn't expect that he could also come to a "Burning Rock Mountain" today, thinking of this, there was a faint sense of pride in his heart.
"Second brother, when are we going to attack?"
Just as Evan was drooling and complacent, the voice of the fourth Haakon came from his side.
"What's the hurry? It's still early! Everyone has been on the road all morning, and they must be tired, so they should rest in place, eat when they should eat, drink water when they should drink, the show has just begun, let's just watch the play. β
Evan turned his head to look at the crowd behind him, and then gave instructions to the generals in a playful tone.
"Huh?"
Hearing Evan's request, everyone couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, looking at him like a monster, everyone was very strange, isn't it the best time to kill the enemy while the enemy is chaotic? Why give up this best time? What about waiting instead of destroying the enemy in one go? Just wait? But he actually ordered everyone to eat and drink to watch the play? How can this not be shocked?
"Well, what? Don't go to the execution of the order, tell everyone to eat and drink and watch the play, but you can't throw away the weapon in your hand, and you can only stand and watch. β
Seeing everyone's incredulous looks, Evan smiled and kicked Haakon's calf, which was closest to him, and said loudly to everyone, but he could hear relaxation in his tone, very relaxed at the moment. (To be continued......)
