"Today, my brother will take you to fly once."

As soon as Qi Heng's words fell, the dark shadows in the sky gradually stagnated, and then slowly began to lower a string ladder towards the place where Qi Heng and they lit the fire.

Qi Heng, who saw this scene, immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun beside him: "Big brother, big brother Chang, you go first, and I'll leave it here." ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "What do you mean to leave it to you, how can you save us, let us go first." ”

Chang Yuchun, who was on the side, also gradually recovered from the shock just now, and said: "Yes, if you want to go together, how can there be a reason for us to go first." ”

Qi Heng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun's firm gaze, so he had to smile helplessly and said, "Okay, let's be together in a while, let King Xiao Ming go first." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Ming Wang and the two guards around him kept climbing up the rope ladder, and then hiding in a round thing, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little surprised and said: "Jun Tao, what is this thing?" How can you still fly in the air? ”

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's confusion, Qi Heng just said: "This is called a hot air balloon." ”

The reason why Qi Heng set up camp five miles away from the Jiaojiao Ridge and did not move was because in the past few days, a hot air balloon was transported from the territory of Anfeng Road.

When they came, they were in a hurry, so many things were not prepared.

Fortunately, he found out that Zhu Yuanzhang and they were besieged above the Horn Ridge, as long as he didn't fall into the trap in a short period of time, he should not be able to do it, and the geographical environment of the Horn Ridge just gave him a perfect position to perform.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Qi Heng had such an idea.

And when the hot air balloon on Anfeng Road was transported, there was no way for him to enter because there were more than half a million troops around.

Moreover, if you rush in according to Zhu Yuanzhang's path, you will be suspicious.

It could be a hidden danger for his subsequent plans.

After all, he had been investigating the enemy situation for several days, and if he hadn't found out the arrangement of the Toktoku army, it would be really suspicious.

Therefore, Qi Heng deliberately stood still, making a look of waiting for the other party to reveal his flaws.

Because Qi Heng knows very well that this person is very smart.

How could he not see that his army was coming too fast?

Anyone who comes to be the manager will think about this question.

And the answer is easy to think of.

That is, they have enemy intelligence agents within their army.

Now that you know that the other party has intelligence officers, what will you do?

Find out and kill?

Or do you deliberately expose your flaws and lure the enemy into the trap by not knowing about it?

Fortunately, what Tokhtar did was as if he was cooperating with Qi Heng, and everything was carried out according to his vision.

also gave Qi Heng a chance to rush in.

But think about it.

No matter what Qi Heng had in mind, with a few people like him, he rushed into the encirclement of his 530,000 army, isn't this the prey sent to the door?

What's the reason not to eat it?

Even if Qi Heng directly brought people in, he could also achieve such an effect.

But there is another point that he must consider.

That is the heart of the enemy who is free from liberation.

Now they are located above the Horn Ridge, which is a dead end.

Unless they can fly, they can fly directly from the Horn Ridge dozens of meters high, otherwise the result can only be eaten by the army under his command little by little.

Therefore, I believe that the detachment at this moment is not in a hurry, and I feel that I have a chance to win.

Even as long as they can resist the first wave of the opponent's attack, Tokhtar will order people to stop the attack in order to reduce losses and casualties.

Of course, this is just speculation.

However, what Qi Heng needs now is time.

The number of hot air balloons is not too much.

In such a short period of time, it is too late to increase production.

One of the most important reasons is that the speed of the hot air balloon is too slow.

If you want to transport all the 10,000 soldiers on the current Horn Ridge, at least dozens of round-trips are needed.

Even if they delivered it without stopping until dawn the next day, it would be impossible to finish it.

According to Qi Heng's estimate, it will take at least two nights.

This meant that they had to live two nights on Horn Ridge.

Then, if he rushes in directly and deliberately gets into the trap set by Toto, the result is completely different.

rushed in directly, with a suspicious character, he would definitely attack the Horn Ridge in order to win the battle, and not give Qi Heng a chance.

And now deliberately getting into the trap of getting rid of it, I dare not say that the other party will definitely not attack to the death, but at least it gives the other party a false impression that the victory is in hand.

Even if they don't starve to death in the mountains, at least they won't really fight to the end.

After all, the space on the mountain is not large, and the four corners are narrow, and these 10,000 people really counterattack with a certain heart of death, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantage of the 530,000 troops of the Yuan army.

And for every little delay, they can save a little more.

As the first batch of twenty hot air balloons pulled more than 100 people into the air slowly, and then took advantage of the different wind directions in the high and low sky to leave the Horn Ridge, Qi Heng and Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun gathered around the fire.

Now that they have a way out of their predicament, they are not in a hurry.

Because I was in a hurry, I had no choice but to wait quietly for the hot air balloon to come back.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was amazed at the shock brought to him by this hot air balloon, he asked Qi Heng beside him: "Jun Tao, how is it in Jinling?" Nothing happened, right? ”

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Qi Heng thought for a while and said: "Fortunately, now that Zhu Wenzheng, the southern Hongdu, they are still holding on, and Zhang Shicheng's side seems to have agreed with Totokh about something, and he actually took the initiative to show an attitude of wanting to attack." ”

"But I have already asked Brother Tang to lead the army, and I also asked him to prepare some military uniforms of the Yuan army, and send a part of the troops to pretend to be the Yuan army to sneak attack Zhang Shicheng's hinterland, thinking that Zhang Shicheng's character will definitely suspect that the Yuan army's detachment is deceiving him, even if he is not on the set, there is Brother Xu and Brother Tang's army outside, and there is a surprise army inside, and there will be no major incident."

Listening to Qi Heng's narration, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly.

After talking about the matter in Jinling, he mentioned the matter of coming to rescue King Xiao Ming this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang said a little angrily: "This detachment is really cunning, we never thought that he was besieging King Xiao Ming on purpose to set up a game, he was like a roundworm in our stomach, and he guessed accurately." ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Qi Heng just smiled slightly.

But I know in my heart that this detachment is naturally not simple.

In real history, if it weren't for the fact that the Yuan court itself was constantly experiencing power struggles, the results of these rebel armies were really unknown.

And, according to the records in the history books he had read before, the reason for the final death of this detachment was because of the internal turmoil within the court, but the court issued a decree to reproach him for "working hard and wasting money", cutting officials, placing Huai'an, and later killing him in Yunnan.

Not only Toto, but even after Toto's death, there was no shortage of extremely capable commanders within the Yuan Dynasty.

But most of them ended in failure.

It's not because they can't beat Zhu Yuanzhang, but because the forces within the Yuan Dynasty are all vying for power and profit from top to bottom.

A number of factions have been formed.

As a result, the power of the Yuan Dynasty has never been able to concentrate, just like the strength of a person, it has never been able to form a fist, gather a little, and exert all the strength of the body.

Just as Qi Heng was thinking about it, Chang Yuchun on the side also said: "In the past, I fought with the Yuan Court, and it felt the simplest, we are the only army in the world who are not afraid of the Yuan army. ”

As a famous general of the late Yuan Dynasty, Chang Yuchun also has its own commendability.

This time, he led an army of 30,000, although he faced the enemy's 530,000, but the reason why he was defeated so easily.

It's not without its own faults.

So now that I am free, I have also begun to examine myself.

Regarding what the two of them said, Qi Heng didn't speak.

Because Qi Heng knows very well that there has never been a natural talent in this world.

Anyone who has made a difference is because he has experienced too many mistakes, and then quickly examined his own mistakes, and constantly optimized, and finally achieved his first name.

Of course, there are also some generals, such as the champion Hou Huo, who is at the peak of his illness.

But this was not without the reason for what he had learned and seen before he set out on the expedition.

and that Li Shimin, it is not an exaggeration to say that they were born noble.

Therefore, when they were young, they began to learn and read and absorb the experience and knowledge of countless ancestors.

That's why they can show their ability to surpass others.

For people from poor backgrounds like Chang Yuchun, there is naturally no such condition, so if you want to get ahead, you must go through it.

From life and death, and then constantly optimize themselves and learn from experience.

Therefore, Qi Heng did not disturb their self-reflection.

Sleepless nights.

The three brothers sat around the fire, chatting and watching the brothers board the hot air balloon, and then sneak away in the drowsy conditions of the night and the many trees in the mountains.

Near dawn.

Qi Heng calculated the time, this batch of hot air balloons should be the last wave today.

Immediately, Qi Heng said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun beside him: "Big brother, big brother Chang, this is the last batch tonight, you can also sit and leave." ”

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed: "Jun Tao, didn't we all say it before?" Why do you mention this matter again, if you want to leave, our brothers will go together, there is absolutely no reason to leave you, we will go first. ”

However, this time Qi Heng did not agree easily, and said solemnly: "Big brother, you are handsome, the purpose of our coming this time is to save you out, if you stay here, even if there are more soldiers left, what is the use?" Listen to me, you go first, don't worry, if it's really impossible, I'll find a way to leave. ”

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang still had something to say, but Qi Heng didn't give him a chance to speak: "Big brother, listen to me, I can't let go of many things you have here." ”

But in the face of Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would not leave anything, and Chang Yuchun on the side also firmly supported Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Seeing this, Qi Heng looked at the sky that was gradually about to light up.

immediately got up and said to Mu Ying beside him: "Mu Ying, take two people to tie up the big marshal and General Chang!" ”

Hearing this, Mu Ying was stunned.

Just as he was standing there and didn't know what to do, Qi Heng suddenly scolded: "Go quickly!" ”

Seeing this, Mu Ying didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately beckoned to the two people beside her and said, "Come on!" Tie General Chang to it with me! ”

Looking at Mu Ying's actions, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly glared and said, "Mu Ying! Don't you dare! ”

Mu Ying had no choice but to say to Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly: "Dashuai, you better go up, the adults are also for your good." ”

Saying that, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang said, four or five people suddenly stepped forward to control Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun, and then tied them to the rope ladder, and ordered the people above to pull them up.

With the hot air balloon carrying Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun, other hot air balloons left one after another.

Qi Hengchang breathed a sigh of relief.

Look at the soldiers who are still on the Horn Ridge at this moment, there should be about 7,000 people.

In one night, less than 3,000 people were transported.

At this rate, it will take at least three days.

But will Tokhtar give him so much time?

And as the number of people on the Horn Ridge decreases and decreases, it will not be discovered in advance and not mentioned.

Even if he hadn't found out, would they still be able to hold on?

Therefore, just in case, Qi Heng had to let Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun leave first.

On a hot air balloon at this time.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun were untied by the soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said angrily: "Mu Ying, this kid, let's clean him up when we come back!" ”

"No, we can't go first."

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chang Yuchun on the side was calmer, and now that he has come up, what else can he do.

said to Zhu Yuanzhang beside him: "Big brother, this is all Brother Qi's kindness, don't be angry." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang was still holding his breath in his heart, and said to the soldiers on the side: "Send us back!" ”

But the soldier said: "Marshal, you can't go back, if you go back, you will be discovered by the Yuan army." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless.

And Chang Yuchun on the side saw that his eldest brother Zhu Yuanzhang had a rare encounter, and couldn't help but laugh.

When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he immediately became angry and said to Chang Yuchun: "Laugh, laugh what a laugh." ”

But others are afraid of him Zhu Yuanzhang, but Chang Yuchun is not afraid.

Fear of you is respectful of you.

Suddenly said: "It's all up, what else can I do, what kind of temper are you having with us, you want to be angry, you jump down." ”

Listening to Chang Yuchun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and pointed at Chang Yuchun, eager to kick him down.

On the mountainside of Horn Ridge.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun all left, Qi Heng took over the power of defense and command of the army.

All the explosives brought by this trip were placed on the path that the Yuan army had to pass up the mountain, delaying their climbing time.

Yamashita.

Tokhtar Timur woke up from a night's sleep, and when he saw that the battle was still going on, he said with a relaxed face: "I didn't expect it to be quite strong, and I didn't surrender yet." ”

However, in the face of such an inefficient attack by the Yuan army, Totokh still called the general in charge of attacking the mountain in front of him.

Faced with Timur's inquiry, the general immediately said: "Lord Zhongtang, it's really not that we don't do our best, now that those hundreds of people are immediately behind the mountain, the combat effectiveness of these people has suddenly increased a lot. ”

"And there were explosives, and the brothers who rushed to the mountain were so killed and wounded that I had to let them retreat. Anyway, now that the overall situation has been decided, they can starve to death if they are hungry, so why sacrifice so many soldiers. ”

Listening to his words, Tokhtar said slowly: "What you say is reasonable. ”

But before the general could be pleased, Timur glanced at the guard, who suddenly came to the general's side and held him right and left.

At this time, Timur waved his hand and said, "Pull it down and cut it." ”

"Yes!"

In the face of Timur's words, the general shouted in disbelief: "Lord Zhongtang, the last general will be wronged!" ”

But Timur said: "As a general attacking the mountain, I don't need you to tell me how to attack the thieves on the mountain, I want you to attack the mountain, but you withdrew the army without authorization, disgusted with the whole night, disobeying the military order, I beheaded you or wronged?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the general to quibble about anything, Totok said directly: "Pull it down!" ”

"Yes!"

As the general's shouts grew farther and farther away.

Tokhtar slowly walked out of the tent.

looked up at this Jiao Ling, and said slowly: "Qi Heng, Qi Heng, because of you, this hall has to be cautious." ”

After speaking, he immediately waved his hand and said to the herald who ran in front of him: "Pass on the order of the main hall, and give the order to attack the mountain with all your might!" ”

"Yes!"

With the order of Tokhtar Timur, the Yuan army on the front line suddenly launched a fierce offensive on the Horn Ridge.

Although the area on the mountain is not large, it can accommodate the attack of more than 20,000 or 30,000 people.

At this moment, there are only more than 7,000 soldiers and horses on the mountain, and in the face of the offensive of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, the situation can be imagined.

At this time, Qi Heng on the mountain, when he received an order from the soldiers on the mountainside.

My heart tightened.

Really.

The worst I expected happened.

After repelling the Yuan army that attacked the mountain at the beginning last night, Qi Heng thought that the other party would slow down.

Unexpectedly, this detachment did not hesitate to lose many soldiers, but also to completely win this battle.

Thinking of this, Qi Heng understood that with the strength of the mountain, he would definitely not be able to hold out at night.

immediately made a decision and said to Mu Ying beside him: "Send a signal!" ”

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Mu Ying immediately turned around and left.

Soon.

A firework-like thing began to shoot into the sky.

Boom!

Although it was daytime, the fireworks were not so conspicuous, but they were definitely enough.

A series of five flares, exploding in the sky.

At the same time, it is also transmitting Qi Heng's orders to the outside world.

South of the South of the Horn Horn Mountains, the place where the soldiers were temporarily transported.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the fireworks exploding in the sky, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly called Chen Guang, who came to answer, and asked, "What does this thing mean?" ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Chen Guang said solemnly: "The general said before that the hot air balloon will transport soldiers at night, and once the situation is found to be bad, five signal flares will be set off, and we will send the hot air balloon immediately." ”

"At this time, all five signal flares were fired, thinking that the situation on the mountain was not good, and Tokhtar might be attacking the mountain."

Listening to Chen Guang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed instantly.

Just as he was silent, Chen Guang stood aside.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang reacted, he immediately said: "Go quickly!" What are you doing here! ”

Hearing this, Chen Guang hurriedly began to mobilize the hot air balloon to take off again.

About a quarter of an hour or so.

Twenty hot air balloons finally lifted off again and came to the sky above the Horn Ridge.

At this time, the sky is bright, and there are too many of these hot air balloons.

When the Tokhti Timurid army under the mountain saw these hot air balloons, their eyes suddenly widened one by one, and they looked at the wonders in the sky in amazement.

And in the midst of that was Natokh Timur.

Tokhtimur, who was originally commanding the army, suddenly noticed that the soldiers were all looking up at something.

Confused, I couldn't help but raise my head to look.

When he saw the hot air balloons in the sky, the expression on his face was so rich and rich.

Especially when he saw those hot air balloons flying towards the target of the rebels on the mountain, he immediately thought of something.

These thieves are really going to put on their wings!

Thinking of this, Timur didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately shouted to the people around him: "Quick! Shoot that thing down! ”

"Yes!"

As the archer raised the bow and arrow in his hand, he began to shoot.

However, the height of the hot air balloon is not at all within the reach of a bow and arrow.

The arrows not only did not hurt the hot air balloons, but also accidentally injured several of their own people.

The lieutenant general on the side suddenly said anxiously: "Lord Zhongtang, no, the bow and arrow can't reach it at all!" ”

At this time, Timur, who was also in a panic, suddenly pointed to the artillery on the side and shouted: "Use the cannon!" Quick, with a cannon! ”

Soon.

At Timur's command, the artillery began to adjust its angle and began to shoot at the place where the hot air balloon was in the sky.

However, the artillery in their hands today has no crosshairs at all.

In general, it is roughly adjusted based on the experience of the soldiers.

Instead of hitting the balloon, the shells landed on the mountain.

Seeing that conventional attack methods could not attack those hot air balloons in the sky at all, he gritted his teeth and said, "Attack the mountain with all your might!" ”

At this time, on the mountainside of the Horn Ridge.

With Timur's military order, the offensive became more and more intense.

Countless soldiers died in the attack of the Yuan army.

For the death of these soldiers, although Qi Heng was also very distressed, he had nothing to do.

Now that's all he has to offer.

Most of the things that can come in handy have already been deployed.

The explosives prepared in advance also exploded one after another, causing many deaths in the Yuan army.

But the amount of explosives is really limited.

With the explosion of the explosives, the two armies began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

However, fortunately, the soldiers in the hands of Qi Heng occupied some dangerous terrain, and they could maximize the use of bows and arrows to annihilate the enemies who went up the mountain.

However, this will not last long.

Looking at the increasingly dangerous situation, Mu Ying beside Qi Heng said with some concern: "My lord, the hot air balloon has come, why don't you go first." ”

But Qi Heng looked at the mountain of soldiers, but he couldn't bear to say: "Don't worry, how long can you last, let the soldiers leave first." ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Mu Ying had no choice but to nod and arrange.

A full hour passed.

By hot air balloon, they successfully transported more than 1,000 soldiers away.

However, the process of attacking the mountain did not go well.

Timur's face was already difficult to see to the extreme.

He couldn't have imagined it.

Qi Heng actually had such preparations.

can really use the sky to rescue people in a desperate situation like Horn Ridge.

Thinking of the time last night, I don't know how many thieves left with those flying things in the sky, and the anger in my heart couldn't help but gush out.

finally used the little Ming King to keep Zhu Yuanzhang here.

But now.

But let them leave so easily.

Especially after the time of this night, it is conceivable that the most critical person on the Horn Ridge, Zhu Yuanzhang may have already left.

Although this time they have successfully annihilated Zhu Yuanzhang's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

But more than 20,000 soldiers and horses could not satisfy his appetite for Timur.

Compared to killing or capturing Zhu Yuanzhang alive, it is nothing at all.

Including the Qi Heng that may exist on the mountain.

I'm afraid that they have already fled early.

Now, one can only pray that they will remain on the mountain and lead the battle.

However, as he watched the groups of people leave in hot air balloons.

Timur was anxious.

At this moment, a general who was attacking the mountain on the front line suddenly ran in front of Timur and said: "Lord Zhongtang, no, the thieves are guarding a dangerous position, it is really difficult to attack, and they still have gunpowder in their hands, and the casualties of the soldiers are too great!" Today, more than 2,000 soldiers have been killed or wounded. ”

Listening to the reports of his generals, Timur's face turned completely blue.

Thinking that every once in a while a thief would flee from his eyes, Tokhtar Timur could not bear the anger in his heart.

With a grim face, he walked from side to side in the camp.

"Qi Heng, Qi Heng! You've been another surprise to the Hondo! ”

Timur gritted his teeth and said.

But when his eyes looked at the fire beside him.

A thought suddenly rose in my heart.

After carefully inspecting the terrain above the Horn Ridge, Timur immediately said to the generals who were still kneeling in front of him: "Set fire to the mountain!" ”

"Go, order someone to burn me the woods where the thieves are!"

"I don't believe it, is it possible that Qi Heng can not only fly, but also attract rain!"

Listening to Timur's words, the general was also moved in his heart, and felt that it was a good way, and immediately said: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

And Timur, who was impatient, couldn't wait.

simply went to the front with the army.

On the hills.

Looking at the situation that gradually stabilized, Qi Heng's heart was a little settled.

But he also understands that this is not the end of the story.

Since the hot air balloon had already been seen by Natokh Timur, he would never let them leave at will.

The situation has just stabilized for a short time.

As soon as the general, who had seen Timur in sight, returned, he ordered people to begin preparations for the burning of the mountain.

Soon.

Qi Heng's soldiers on the front line immediately received the news.

"Oh no, my lord! The officers and soldiers are ready to set fire to the mountain! ”

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Qi Heng immediately looked at the terrain of the mountain range where they were.

All around was covered by trees, and once the mountain was really burned by Natokh Timur, none of them could escape.

Come to think of it.

Qi Heng was suddenly anxious.

Although he also has countermeasures to prevent the flames from spreading to the places where they are.

All you need to do is cut a temporary partition in the middle.

But it's not just the flames that are the most terrifying thing about wildfires.

And the smoke that filled the sky.

Especially trees like these trees that still have water in their bodies, once these trees burn, the smoke released is even more terrifying.

As long as you have played with the house when you were a child, anyone who has made a fire understands it.

By the time the smoke reached where they were, no one would last ten minutes.

But at this point, there is nothing he can do.

We can only insist as much as possible and let more people leave.

As the Yuan army began to burn the mountain, soon the fire at the Horn Ridge began to spread.

Seeing this scene, Qi Heng understood that there was not much time left for him.

In addition to the soldiers who were transported out before, there are now less than about 5,000 soldiers left on this Horn Ridge.

Then get rid of the defensive ones who died.

At least there are more than 3,000 people.

Among these soldiers, the vast majority of them were former subordinates of King Xiao Ming.

As for the people brought by Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as they survived, they were almost sent away by Qi Heng through a hot air balloon.

It's not that Qi Heng is inhuman.

If conditions permit, he can leave with these rebel soldiers under King Xiao Ming.

But if he had to choose between the two, Qi Heng could only rescue his brothers.

Therefore, Qi Heng's initial order was for his own people to go first.

Soon.

As the fires in the woods grew louder and louder.

It's also spreading faster and faster.

Qi Heng understood that his time was running out.

But I could only watch the hot air balloon in the sky fly slowly.

Viewed from the highest part of the mountain, the wildfires spread extremely quickly.

It won't be long before it burns to them.

According to this time, it is only enough for two round-trips in a hot air balloon.

As the mountain fire burned, the Yuan army on the mountainside no longer attacked.

At this time, all the soldiers on the Horn Ridge gathered.

Qi Heng divided them into his own brothers and the soldiers under the command of King Xiao Ming.

Roughly calculated, the number of brothers in the rebel army brought by Zhu Yuanzhang is about 1,000.

The remaining nearly 2,000 people are all under the command of King Xiao Ming.

"Brother of the Anhui Righteous Army, gather at the top of the mountain and wait to leave!"

Qi Heng shouted at his brothers.

But with Qi Heng's shout, the soldiers under the command of King Xiao Ming on the other side suddenly began to commotion.

"Why did your people go first! The people who just left are all your people, and this mountain fire is about to burn up, so we will be burned to death! ”

"That's right! It can't be like this! We're going too! ”

"Let's die, let's die together!"

“........”

Among the soldiers under Xiao Ming's command, there are more and more such voices.

Especially when I saw that the wildfires were burning faster and faster, and they were getting closer and closer, this emotion became even more and more.

Faced with such a situation, Qi Heng seemed to have expected it.

Nothing was said.

However, as this batch of hot air balloons gradually came to the mountains.

In the camp of the soldiers under the command of King Xiao Ming, there was gradually a commotion.

Many people, consciously or unconsciously, want to squeeze in the direction of the mountains.

Faced with such a situation, Qi Heng said to Mu Ying beside him expressionlessly: "Mu Ying! ”

Hearing Qi Heng's voice, Mu Ying and the brothers in the five hundred divine barracks around him understood.

They pulled out a flintlock pistol from their backs.

The muzzles of five hundred flintlock pistols were immediately aimed at the soldiers of King Xiao Ming below.

And Mu Ying even shot the flintlock pistol in his hand at the stone in the open space on the side.

With the crisp and loud sound of gunfire and the cracking of the stone, the entire soldiers under the command of King Xiao Ming suddenly fell silent.

Looking at them, Qi Heng also had to stand up.

He said loudly to the rebels in front of him: "You have also seen the situation, no one can be spared when the mountain fire burns, this time you are under siege, our marshal personally came to the rescue, and it has been done to the fullest extent of benevolence." ”

"If those Yuan soldiers can give us a little more time, I will definitely take all of you away. However, the situation is such that I am compelled to choose between you and my own brothers. ”

"I believe that in front of any of you, you will have the same choice as me."

"I know, you all want to live, but I can't help it."

"Now there are two paths before you."

"Number one, silence waits here. After my brothers are safely gone, I will rescue you as much as I can if I still have time. ”

"Second, rush up and fight for the chance to carry a hot air balloon, but I can tell you very clearly, even if you all rush up, you will all die at the guns of us."

"Just these two paths, you choose for yourself!"

.................

The periphery of Horn Ridge at the moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun stood anxiously on the hillside, looking at the fire burning on the Jiaojiao Ridge, and they were anxious.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept asking Chen Guang beside him and said, "Is the general back?" ”

Faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chen Guang also shook his head anxiously.

Although at this moment, the latest batch of hot air balloons has arrived on the Horn Ridge.

But looking at the growing fire, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Especially Chang Yuchun on the side said: "There are too many people on the Horn Ridge now, and the hot air balloon can't hold so many people, big brother, will those people under King Xiao Ming mutiny?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear.

When life and death are on the line, no one will give up any chance to survive.

Stay there and wait for the fire to burn, and you will surely die.

But if you snatch it, there may be a glimmer of life.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to meet the conjecture of Chang Yuchun.

It is even bound to be,

Think of those scenes of cannibalism in the midst of famine.

What is impossible now?

However, as they watched the new batch of hot air balloons return with people loaded again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was full of expectation.

"Let's go! Let's go back! ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the group went down the mountain one after another.

Soon.

When the people on the hot air balloon climbed down one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed one of them and asked, "What about the generals?" ”

The man looked at his handsome's wide eyes, and hurriedly said, "It's still on the mountain!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately gritted his teeth.

Looking at these people who came down again, all of them were soldiers brought by themselves, and couldn't help but say, "What about the people in the Divine Barracks?" Why didn't it come down! ”

But the soldiers shook their heads one by one.

Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his hand, looked at Chang Yuchun on the side with a gloomy face, and said: "There are at least five hundred brothers in the Divine Battalion, even if this trip is over, it is definitely not enough!" ”

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, whose face was blue at the moment and was about to explode, Chang Yuchun also had a dignified face.

And Zhu Yuanzhang scolded to himself: "Made, what are you kid going to do!" Not down yet! ”

Soon, with the departure of the hot air balloon and back.

Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't find any of the brothers of the Divine Battalion and Qi Heng's figure.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's face had turned into the color of pig liver.

"! This kid should let us go back and kowtow to him in front of his tablet! ”

Especially when he watched from a distance that the mountain fire on the Horn Ridge had begun to pour towards the place where they were, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were gradually covered with bloodshots.

On the Horn Ridge.

As the power of Mu Ying's shot just now was displayed in front of everyone, especially at this moment, they were facing a full five hundred muzzles.

The whole scene was under control in an instant.

At this time, a person's shout suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain.

"Qi Heng!"

Following the direction of this voice, Qi Heng saw the Yuan army on the edge of another mountain cliff in the distance.

There was a sea of fire between the two.

Just when Qi Heng was puzzled, a person suddenly walked out of the Yuan army.

Qi Heng looked at it from a distance, although he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, he could only see a rough idea.

But you can also guess the identity of this person, especially the clothes that this person is wearing are different from others.

Seeing this, Qi Heng slowly came to a stone block and shouted to the other side: "Master Toto, don't come unharmed!" ”

As Qi Heng's voice sounded, there was a burst of laughter from the opposite side.

"Hahaha!"

"Qi Heng! I really don't know if you're stupid or smart. I can think of this way to save your master, but I stayed at the end, and now the fire is burning the mountain, and there are no things flying in the air of you, this church will see how you escape this time! ”

"Of course, if you are willing to submit to our court, this hall can promise that you will not blame the past, and send troops to extinguish the fire now and save you!"

Listening to Timur's words, Qi Heng just smiled slightly.

Not to mention that the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command will not have time to extinguish this mountain fire, even if it can be extinguished, he will not take refuge in the Yuan Court.

Immediately, Qi Heng shouted to Timur on the opposite side: "Lord Totok, have you forgotten that Qi can have wings on his arms and fly in the air?" ”

But soon, Timur on the other side scolded: "Ridiculous! ”

"Time is running out, if you don't want to submit to obedience, even if the church wants to save you, it can't save it!"

Qi Heng shouted: "Lord Zhongtang, don't worry! Qi can't die! ”

Listening to Qi Heng's confident words, Timur on the opposite side couldn't help frowning.

Looking at the fire that was getting closer and closer to them, and the hot air balloon in the sky in the distance that was still far away from here, he really couldn't understand how Qi Heng could leave safely at this moment, and he could be so confident.

Then he shouted: "Since you have killed yourself, this church will fulfill you!" ”

Qi Heng looked at the mountain fire that was getting closer and closer.

Knowing that it is impossible to wait any longer for a hot air balloon.

Fortunately, however, all of his brothers had already been transported.

Immediately, Qi Heng glanced at Mu Ying beside him.

Mu Ying immediately shouted: "Change your clothes!" ”

In just half a minute.

All the brethren in the Divine Barracks pulled out a strange-looking fabric from their backpacks.

While dressing up, everyone came to the edge of the cliff.

Then, under the gaze of those Xiao Ming Wang's subordinates on the mountain ridge and the Yuan army in the distance, they began to jump down the cliff like dumplings one by one.

Everyone who saw this scene showed shocked expressions.

Especially when Qi Heng was about to jump off, he shouted at Totoku on the other side: "Lord Toto, Qi will go first!" ”

After that, in the wide-eyed eyes of Timur Tokhtar, he jumped forward!
