Chapter 280: Escape
After a burst of shouting and neighing, the siege vehicle had adjusted its orientation and aimed at the outer wall on the northwest side of the Xuanzheng Hall. Listening to Guan Xin's order, dozens of sergeants on both sides exerted force at the same time, pushing the crashing wood on the car and rushing towards the wall.
The sound of "one, two, knock, knock, ......knock" The sound of the wood hitting the exterior wall, mixed with the slogans shouted by the sergeants, formed a sense of rhythm full of power, impacting everyone present.
Li Zhun understood in his heart: "The fire has been burning for so long, most of the people in the hall must have been killed and injured, even if General Chen is strong in martial arts and escaped, now it must be the end of the strong crossbow, and he will be struggling to support." The sooner the wall is broken, the better the chance of him surviving. Thinking of this, he said to Guan Xin: "Commander Guan, let the brothers work harder! Strive to enter the hall within a quarter of an hour." ”
Guan Xin nodded and continued to urge the sergeants to exert their strength. In order to ensure efficiency, he divided the sergeants of the Flying Tiger Battalion into four groups equally, and rotated one group for every 20 hits.
Seeing this, Ma Desheng said impatiently: "If you go on like this, when will you be able to knock the wall open?" Commander Guan, why do you want to divide the manpower into four groups? I see that there are still many empty positions at the front end of the crashing wood, let the brothers work hard together, won't they crash away in a few clicks?"
Guan Xin shook his head and said, "General Ma doesn't know anything. The wall had been scorched by the fire for a long time, and the temperature was so high that it was difficult for the brothers to get close. In addition, not everyone is as innate with divine power as General Ma, in such a hot environment, twenty full force impacts are already the limit of their physical strength, and it will not help if they hit again, so it is better to let this group of people come down to rest and recuperate, so that people will rest and rest, but the effect will be better. ”
Ma Desheng said: "I see. Commander Guan, you said it earlier, if you want someone, we have it. After speaking, he turned around and said loudly: "Someone, don't put out the fire yet, line up in front of me!"
The guards in the palace listened to the order and gathered from all sides, and Ma Desheng counted them, and there were nearly 200 people left. He divided these men into four groups and joined the ranks of the Flying Tiger Battalion, so that counting the original people of the Flying Tiger Battalion, there were nearly fifty people in each group. The number of men increased, and the strength naturally doubled, so that it took only three rounds to knock the hole in the wall open.
When Li Zhun saw this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Guan Xin: "Commander Guan, you quickly arrange for people to rush in to save people!"
Guan Xin said: "Back to Lord Li, the wall has not collapsed yet, and our people can't get in." However, since the hole has been opened, the bearing capacity of the wall is naturally greatly weakened, and the effect of high temperature inside and outside is added. ”
Ma Desheng heard this and said anxiously: "Do you have to wait? The master has been trapped in the hall for nearly an hour? If you can wait, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait! Commander Guan, tell your people to get out of the way? I'll go in through the hole and see what's going on inside." ”
Guan Xin shook his head and said: "It's not that Guan's subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are afraid of danger? It's just that they are all ordinary sergeants? They have never practiced light exercises? Now this hole is still too small for them, if they really jump off the rope ladder at a high place, it is difficult to directly cross the hole and jump into the lobby." When Ma Desheng heard this, this was indeed the truth, but now that time was pressing, the master's life was in danger, and he couldn't care so much at this time, so he straightened his chest and said loudly: "I'll go! Let me go and try to dance once." As soon as Ma Desheng's words fell, he suddenly heard a delicate voice beside him: "General Ma doesn't have to risk his life, just leave this matter to me!"
When the words fell, Ma Desheng shook his eyes and looked, it was none other than Yin Yan, the Red Shadow Witch.
Li Zhun was also stunned and asked, "Lady Yin......?" How did you ......"
"Master Li, do you want to ask me how I escaped from the hall?"
Li Zhun nodded and said: "Since Lady Yin can come out safely, you must have found a safe passage, and please ask Lady Yin to lead the way, and we will send someone to follow you into the hall to save people." ”
Who knew that Yin Yanlai shook his head and said: "I don't know what the safe passage is, when the fire just started, I came out of the secret door and looked for you for a long time." General Ma, Xiaotian asked me to find you to get a fire shelter, I thought you would command everyone to put out the fire at the exit, but who would have thought that he would run here and cause me to look for you for a long time. Without further ado, give me the fire shelter, and I'll go in and rescue them. ”
When Ma Desheng heard this, his face was full of doubts, and he was puzzled: "What is that? I've never seen it before!"
Yin Yanlai was taken aback and asked, "Haven't you seen it?" Xiaotian said that there are dozens of sets of fire shelters in the mansion, and as long as you put it on, you can enter and exit the sea of fire without being burned by the fire. He told me to go out to find you, get the fire shelter, and then go back to save them. You say you don't know?!"
When Ma Desheng heard this, he shook his head like a rattle, waved his hand, and said: "Yin Nuxia, it's all this time, how can I lie to you? If there is really the fire shelter you said, then we would have put it on and rushed in through the main entrance, so why bother smashing the wall here?"
Yin Yanlai saw that what Ma Desheng said was true, and after a little thought, he understood Chen Xiaotian's intentions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiaotian, why do you bother? I, Yin Yanlai, am actually greedy for life and afraid of death? If you die, how can I live alone?!" Before the words fell, his figure jumped over everyone and rushed straight into the fire.
Seeing this, Li Zhun and the others hurriedly shouted: "Yin Nuxia be careful! That wall is about to collapse!"
As he spoke, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound, and the wall fell in response, and the broken bricks and tiles shook up dust, and even the fire was temporarily suppressed.
When Li Zhun saw it, he hurriedly said to Guan Xin: "Commander Guan, quickly gather people, and we will go into the hall to save people." ”
Guan Xin got the order and ordered people to withdraw the siege vehicles and set up rope ladders. Seeing this, Ma Desheng hurriedly ordered the guards to continue to extinguish the fire, while he put on cotton clothes and prepared to be the first to rush into the hall.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure flickering in front of him, as if he was running towards him. Ma Desheng rubbed his eyes, and when he looked closely, it was Pan Suxuan and Shuang'er, so he hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Is Pan Shaoxia you?!"
When Pan Suxuan heard Ma Desheng's voice, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said secretly: "God is pitiful! Shuang'er and I finally escaped!"
Just thinking about it, the sergeant of the Flying Tiger Battalion had thrown the rope bridge in front of him, Pan Suxuan jumped on the rope bridge with a strong step, and the sergeant outside pulled it back, and the rope bridge swung open, and took Pan Suxuan and Shuang'er to fly over the raging fire to the outside of the hall.
