Chapter 823: Arson
There were a large number of dead branches and leaves on the ground of this wood, and with this oily plant, the flames were immediately uncontrollable, and the retreat of these soldiers had been cut off by the fire.
The sudden fire made all the soldiers panic, they were wearing heavy armor, although they could block the attack of sharp weapons, but they could not block the heat, they might be roasted to death by the flames in the armor.
These soldiers did not have the courage to rush into the flames, so they had to desperately retreat backwards, taking refuge in places that were not burned by the flames. "Don't panic, everyone, there is a small river at the end of this wood, and we just need to hide in the water, so we don't have to worry about being burned. One of the soldiers suddenly shouted, as if thinking of something.
The rest of the soldiers' eyes lit up, the woods were intricate, they were scurrying around like headless flies, and if they could reach the water source, they would not be afraid of the fire.
They can't care about Chengdao South at this time, anyway, there are fires all around, and the other party can't escape. If that brute slave didn't want to die, he would have to run to the river, and then he could be arrested.
Looking at the hurried steps of these people, a sneer appeared on Cheng Daonan's face, now he is like a spider weaving a web, and these people are walking into his cobweb step by step.
"Ah......h "Poof. The hole was filled with sharp sticks that plunged directly into his body. Although there are layers of heavy armor on his body, the armor is not a whole after all, there are still gaps, and some small wooden sticks are still inserted into his body along those gaps.
Although he didn't die, he was stuck with such a wooden stick, and the pain was unbearable. Behind them was the raging flames, and the other soldiers did not dare to stop, and quickly left the place.
"No, don't go, pull me!" shouted the soldier, who would have burned here if no one had saved him.
But who will pay attention to him at this time? If everyone is put in to save him alone, that is the real tragedy.
"Ah......h
Although other people also have unbearable faces, they are more glad that it is not themselves who fall. was burned alive by the fire, and the pain was horrifying to think about.
Their euphoria did not last long, as another soldier fell into the crater and was quickly burned to death by the fire.
"Be careful, everyone, there are traps in this place!" the soldiers reacted, the first time the pothole was not accidental, but someone specially laid it out.
They looked at the road in front of them, and suddenly felt a little trembling, in this, I don't know how many traps are densely covered, which can swallow their lives at any time. And the fire behind has come, and they can't retreat even if they want to.
Cheng Daonan was on the top of the tree branch, and after several vertical crossings, he rushed to the front of everyone. Because the weight on his body is very light, and he knows the location of the trap, he is naturally moving fast.
In a very short time he was on the edge of the creek, lit another arrow, and began to set fire everywhere. In the first place, the reason why he did not set fire in the direction of the creek was to leave a seemingly survivable path for these soldiers.
If he had set fire to it in the first place, the soldiers would have fled the same way they came, and by that time, the flames had not yet fully burned, and they would probably have escaped.
Therefore, Cheng Daonan left one side and did not set fire, so that those soldiers thought that as long as they escaped to the river, they could survive. And he had already laid some traps on the edge of the creek.
As long as a soldier fell into the trap, they did not dare to go too fast, even with their backs to the fire. Because they don't know how many traps there are, they need to explore the way before they can move forward.
Human nature is selfish, everyone knows that if someone walks in front, they just need to follow that person, even if there is a trap, others will die first.
However, this is exactly the case, but no one wants to be the first, everyone pins their hopes on others, but they don't know that they are also pinned on others.
As long as their speed slows down, Cheng Dao Nan can reach the river first, set fire to it here, form a siege, and trap everyone inside.
I have to say that Cheng Daonan's hand is too ruthless, and the analysis of the right time and place and human nature is incisive. If all these people die here, Cheng Daonan's soul will definitely be greatly satisfied.
"Look, there's flames ahead, too!" a soldier suddenly exclaimed, and they found that the flames had burned from the front, and they were surrounded by flames in front of them.
"It's not far from the river bank, as long as we are fast, we can rush through!" the man at the head said in a deep voice, but his body did not move.
And the same is true for other people, nonsense, who doesn't understand this truth, but on the ground in front of you, I don't know how many traps there are, and whoever walks in front of them is looking for death.
Everyone is pushing me and I pushing you, counting on others to die, but how can there be such a good thing in the world, everyone is counting on others, so who are others counting on?
This is human nature, there are actually only ten traps on the ground, and even if each trap kills one person, it will kill ten people at most. However, these ten traps have become a huge barrier, trapping these people in it.
The biggest thing is not the external obstacle, but the human heart. There is an obstacle in my heart, no matter how vast the outside is, I can't escape.
They are hesitating, but the fire will not wait for them. The flames that had burned from the creek had spread out completely, igniting the trees one by one, and together with the flames on the other side, they formed a huge furnace.
They were all wearing heavy metal armor, which was heat-conductive, and soon, everyone felt that the heat was unbearable, and the armor was like a steamer, and their bodies were very uncomfortable.
"Rush, if you don't rush, there will be no way to live. "A person can't stand it at all, and I'm waiting for death here, it's better to fight, it's not very far from the river.
His words also rekindled the courage of others. Yes, the left and right are dead, it's better to fight. (To be continued.) )
