Chapter 475: Underground Crisis
The offensive outside was too fierce, and the people of the White Lotus Sect in the courtyard were like fierce beasts trapped in a cage, no matter how powerful they were, they were still flesh and blood, how could they be the opponents of those soldiers outside?
Especially when there are battalion soldiers mixed in this, it means that the upper authorities are determined to encircle and suppress them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the guard system was established, the military status was hereditary, farming on weekdays, and soldiers in wartime, but now, the guard is corrupted, and the soldiers have no combat effectiveness. As a result, the imperial court implemented a recruitment system and spent money to recruit soldiers, so as to maintain a certain strength, which is the origin of the battalion.
The battalion soldiers all need to be practiced from time to time, and they will be pulled out to suppress bandits if they have nothing to do, perhaps in terms of individual combat effectiveness, they are not as good as the private soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, but in terms of numbers and equipment, they are far ahead.
"Deputy Altar Master Huang, let's go first, we can't stay here. Several people stepped forward to hold the old man and wanted to take him away, but he refused.
"No need...... Let's go, go find a few other deputy altar masters, and then contact the Holy Maiden as soon as possible......" The old man shook his head hard, he is a burden now, take him with you, then everyone will not want to run.
"No, you're always the pillar of everyone, and you can't afford to lose. "Now that all the altar masters are gone, the elders are not very careful, and the deputy altar masters are the backbone of the White Lotus Sect.
"In the name of my motherless mother, I now give you an order that everyone should evacuate quickly, and that no one should fight, and those who violate the order will be dealt with as apostasy. The old man grimaced and said softly.
The absence of a mother is the belief of all people, and it is also the most noble existence, and when he says such things, it means that there is no room for refutation.
"Let's go!" the old man took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. And the people around him, one by one with tears in their eyes, Deputy Altar Master Huang has always been a gentle and benevolent elder, they all respect him very much, and now they want to abandon this old man, they are unwilling.
But they also knew that Deputy Altar Master Huang was very stubborn, and since he said this, he had made up his mind and did not want to leave.
"Let's go. A congregation waved his hand, gritted his teeth, and was the first to walk out of the room. The rest of the people, their eyes were also red, and they left after him. One by one, they secretly swore in their hearts that when they left this place, they would definitely come back for revenge!
"Everyone, don't fall in love with war, come with me!" the man yelled outside, and at that moment, whether it was an ordinary sect member or a private sect, all gathered around, and they did not leave through the back door, after all, these officers and soldiers are not stupid, and the back door must be heavily guarded.
After they left a dozen or so people behind, the rest hurried to a hidden corner of the backyard and moved a water tank to reveal a large hole.
As the main altar of the White Lotus Sect, it must have been prepared for the worst a long time ago, this big hole leads directly to a mansion a few miles away, and everyone can use it to escape.
A group of people quickly jumped into the cave, pressed the machine bracket, and after returning the water tank to its original position, they lit the oil lamp in the cave and quickly ran into the distance. The cave was damp and cramped, and when you stepped on it, it was still a little muddy. But the crowd didn't care about this, and ran fast.
After walking for about three miles, he had reached the end of the road, and one of them climbed a rock, pushed it up, and a large hole was exposed.
Just as everyone was about to leave here, all of a sudden, a black thing fell, and after the thing hit the ground, it shattered in an instant, and there was a pungent smell.
"Fire oil, it's fire oil!" At first, the man was very alert, and as soon as he smelled this smell, he immediately felt that something was wrong, but it was too late, and from the mouth of the cave, more than a dozen cans of fire oil were thrown down.
"Boom. A torch was thrown down again, and the entire tunnel was instantly ablazed, and there were a dozen or so people in the tunnel, and they were swallowed up by the flames in the middle of their breaths. Everyone screamed for a while, and one by one they desperately ran into the distance.
They would rather go back and fight to the death with the enemy in the altar than be burned alive here. Fortunately, the oil did not spread widely, and people who were far away were not injured.
It took them a quarter of an hour to run back to the entrance to the main altar again, intending to come out from under the water tank. However, when they pushed it with their hands, they were shocked to find that the tunnel entrance had been sealed, and they couldn't push it off no matter how they pushed it!
"Mole, there is a mole in the sect!" The authenticity of this general altar, only some people with higher status know that now that there is a problem in this tunnel, it must be the insider's secret.
"Damn, damn it!" The sect members in the tunnel scolded angrily, now they are trapped in the tunnel, and they will soon be suffocated inside, knowing this, it is better to fight outside.
"What should I do?" After a lot of noise, everyone also calmed down, no matter how much they scolded now, it was useless, rather than this, it was better to think of a countermeasure to escape.
"A few of you are lying on the ground, and I will step on your backs to see if I can pry open this secret passage!" one of them drew a long knife from his waist and said to the others.
Now that the secret passage has been sealed, they can only see if there is a way to forcibly open it. Even if you pry open an opening and let in some air, so that everyone doesn't suffocate inside.
A few people climbed down according to the words, and the man stepped on the backs of several people, and pressed the seal of the top secret passage with his hands, which was very strong, and there should be a lot of things on it.
"Poof. He foamed at the mouth of his hand, rubbed it twice, and then thrust the long knife in his hand into the gap. However, this long knife is used for chopping, and it is not strong to pry things, and after only a few pries, the long knife will "collapse" and be directly broken into two.
"No, this knife is too brittle, sixth, bring me your iron rod. The man angrily slammed the top of the seal and said angrily.
"Fourth brother, no, my iron rod is as thick as a wrist, and I can't insert it at all. "The sixth is a tall and strong man, and his weapon is a long stick made of iron, with high eyebrows, and the dance will be vigorous and powerful.
"Let you bring it, and the rest of the people, give me all your swords, whether you can get out or not, success or failure is in one fell swoop. There was a hint of determination on the face of this fourth brother, and now even if there is a glimmer of hope, he has to fight for it.
Everyone took out their swords one after another, but they didn't know what the fourth brother was going to do. The sword is too brittle, and although it can be inserted into the side seam, it cannot be pried. The iron rod was strong enough, but it couldn't fit into the side seams, and it was in vain, and everyone entered a dead end.
Thanks to the 2,000 coins reward from my not very good classmates, touch the big
