Chapter 29: Ambush
Unlike what Commander Zhang imagined, the fire did not spread to the peak, but only burned about ten meters to the peak, and then stopped strangely. In just a few breaths, a desperate situation was formed here, with huge boulders blocking the way in front of it, on both sides, a ten-meter-wide wall of fire, and behind... As soon as Commander Zhang wanted to turn his head, he heard another loud bang.
Sure enough, there was also an extra boulder blocking the road on the road behind. "Don't worry, get down on your stomach, and when the fire is extinguished, it's time for us to counterattack. After Commander Zhang finished shouting, he should dismount first and try to keep his body as low as possible, and the current smoke has spread very much. Most of the guards are not stupid, before Commander Zhang could speak, they were already lying on the ground, as a martial artist, they are not lacking in these rivers and lakes.
"Guo Heng, this kid is okay. Xia Min covered his nose with one hand, looked at the guards at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but admire Guo Heng, this time was a good time. Xia Min saw that some knights had already chased after the guards who left first.
After the guards were all lying on the ground, Guo Heng's face showed a cruel smile and shouted loudly: "Throw stones." Guo Heng's voice was very loud, but the people at the foot of the mountain were not in the mood to listen at all, and they couldn't hear it, and all the people around him were coughing, which was the power of fireworks. One of the guards was lying on the ground with his hands over his nose, but his throat was choked by the pervasive smoke and coughed slightly.
The guard's hand reached for the kettle at his waist, there was still some river water in it, and he was wondering whether to use it now, because he didn't know how long the fire would last. "Bang...", there was a sound of objects colliding. "Boom—" the sound of something being shattered. "Ahh The guard turned his head strangely and looked at the source of the voice, and the next second, his eyes flashed with fear. Not far behind him, a companion was lying on the ground covered in blood, and there was no undulation on his body, and it was estimated that he should be out of breath. Next to his head, there was a head-sized stone, all covered in blood. Looking at his head again, there was a noticeable hole in it.
Seeing this, the guard hurriedly took out the kettle, poured a few sips at himself, and then drenched his sleeves, covered his mouth and nose, and looked around cautiously, for fear that a stone would fall at him. "Bang...""Bang..."..."From time to time, stones fell from the mountain, Xia Min observed carefully, but still didn't find the hiding place of those knights, as if the stones appeared from mid-air on their own.
"Ahh The fire lasted for five minutes, and it was already showing its decline, and the height of the flames had been reduced considerably.
"Hold on a little longer, and the fire will be extinguished, and when the time comes, let them see how powerful the imperial guards are. Commander Zhang's eyes were sharp, and after discovering the change in the flames, he yelled excitedly, he needed to boost the morale of others, otherwise, he was a light commander, and all that awaited him was death. Guo Heng's eyes were sharper, and when he saw Commander Zhang, he grabbed a stone and threw it at Commander Zhang.
Seeing that, Commander Zhang's head was about to bloom, Guo Heng's fist was already clenched, as long as the commander was destroyed, the other junior brothers would not be a problem at all. It's a pity that Commander Zhang's kung fu is good, and at the last moment, he moved his body away, and then quickly ran into the crowd. "It's a pity. Xia Min was also scolding in his heart, the so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, if Commander Zhang dies, the morale of these guards will definitely be deducted.
"Hahahaha..." Xia Min suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and pulled out the grenade hanging from his waist, there is no more suitable time than now, Xia Min believes that the commander is dead, in the crowd, it is not so easy to dodge. With a few waves of the grenade, Xia Min suddenly stopped his movements in embarrassment, and his arm strength was still not at the destination. "Guo Heng..."
Xia Min shouted at Guo Heng, holding a grenade and shaking it at him. Guo Heng's face was happy, he ran over quickly, took the grenade, and threw it directly towards the crowd where Zhang was hiding. Ten seconds later.
"Boom...""Wow...""Ahhh Looking at the five-meter-square blood pit in front of them, the guards' legs began to tremble, and just now, they only saw an iron lump thrown there. Originally, they didn't care, who knows, in the next second, the person in front of them with a radius of five meters will be shattered into blood foam with such a bang, and there is really not even a slag left. With a bang like that, a dozen or so living people completely disappeared, how could they not be afraid.
Before they could come back to their senses, they saw another iron lump flying towards them. This time, the guards learned wisely, and would rather run into the fire than shatter into blood. This time, only four or five people were killed. "It's a pity. Guo Heng said a word, put away the grenade in his right hand, Xia Min only gave him two at the beginning, and now he threw one, wanting to keep the most memorable, and now throwing it out, the effect is not so obvious.
Five minutes later, although the fire was still burning, it was already very weak, and some brave guards had already stepped on the flames and rushed up the mountain, they were not stupid, they were waiting in place, definitely waiting for death. Xia Min's gaze swept over the guards, and his heart suddenly tightened, worthy of being a person with a kung fu foundation, he was ambushed, and there were nearly two hundred people left.
"Take advantage of his illness to kill him. Xia Min turned his head and hurriedly instructed Guo Heng, then picked up the small stones on the ground and threw them down the mountain, although it was useless, he could always vent his feelings. "The military master spoke, taking advantage of his illness to kill him. Guo Heng grinned and shouted, and then rushed towards the foot of the mountain, and with Guo Heng's movements, many knights also came out of hiding and followed behind Guo Heng.
Only then did Xia Min know why he hadn't found these people in front of him, it turned out that these people had long known the role of camouflage uniforms, and they were either carrying branches on their backs or carrying grass rings on their heads. Now that he saw their hiding place, Xia Min also saw some other things by the way, or because there were too few stones on this mountain. Near the hiding place of the knights, there were no big stones in sight, only fist-sized gravel.
"Don't be dissatisfied. Xia Min scolded himself secretly, and looked at the foot of the mountain, to this extent, there was no ambush or ambush, and the knights and guards had already begun to catch and kill.
"Haha..."Glancing at it, Xia Min's originally worried expression turned into leisurely, I don't know when the number of knights has increased to more than two hundred, and they are not afraid of those guards at all.
