Chapter 435: The Fire Burns the Mountain(1/2)

After Zhao Qing killed Zhao Yan, the matter was not resolved. The army of the Crime Camp outside blocked the exit. If they were not resolved, his army would have to starve to death in these two realms.

The only thing that made Zhao Qing feel more fortunate was that the weather is no longer as cold as in the previous two months, otherwise, many soldiers would have to wear a close-fitting single dress and would have to freeze to death.

"Who will lead troops to fight against the enemy and set a way out for our army?"

Zhao Qing looked at the generals under his command and asked.

As a result, all the generals silently fell down. Although they didn't know if the military information Zhao Yan had just reported was true, the army blocking the exit must be very strong, otherwise Zhao Yan's ten thousand people would not have returned in disgrace so soon.

In addition, the outlet is so narrow, what do they use to beat it? Do they fill in their lives?

So at this time, all the generals didn't say a word when Zhao Qing asked.

Looking at the generals who were collectively silent, Zhao Qing was helpless. His subordinates were already some new soldiers. Even these generals, including himself, had no combat experience and were all talkative people on paper.

So it’s okay to bully ordinary troops because there are too many people, but now when you are in a desperate situation, you are immediately at a loss.

"Forget..."

Zhao Qing shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, don't rush to take action, step up the defense at the entrance, and don't let them kill in."

"As for the remaining people, send them out and find out if there is any other exit here."

"Here!"

When the generals heard that they didn't have to go to fight by themselves, they were secretly happy, so they responded quickly and then took people to investigate everywhere, hoping to find another exit.

Although the mountain is steep on Xu Boyuan's side, with their strength in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, even if they carry things, they are almost walking on flat ground and soon climb to the top.

"Put the ignition oil and firewood here, and then continue to look for the ignition material."

Only more than thirty barrels of these fierce tincture oil were left, and Xu Boyuan sent people to the place where the army was stationed.

As for the remaining ignition materials, most of them are some rotten wood cut from the mountain, and it is better to put it together with the ignition materials with the ignition materials.

But these are not enough. The space in the valley is too empty. The little firewood they found is not enough to ignite a fire that spreads the entire valley.

So after Xu Boyuan left a part of the guard here, he immediately took people to continue cutting down the trees.

Now it is the season when winter goes and spring comes, and most of the trees have not sprouted. After the fire is ignited, all these trees can be used as fuel, so Xu Boyuan doesn't pick them and directly see them nearby. As long as they look dry, they cut down all the trees.

Mo Zizai gave them a good iron knife, and at this time they used it as an axe for cutting wood, and directly used it to cut down trees.

Almost all of these soldiers who first climbed the camp were in the marrow washing realm, so even if they used a knife to cut these numbers, it would be easy. The big tree as thick as a bowl was almost cut off with one knife under their hands, without any obstacles.

Three thousand soldiers first climbed the camp and cut down the trees for two days. The trees were piled up like mountains until the entire cliff was a little bare, and they stopped.

During these two days, Zhao Qing in the valley organized troops to charge twice, but he lost more than a thousand bodies each time and returned in disgrace.

During this process, it was not that there were soldiers who thought of surrendering. After coming over, Chen Jiu didn't care whether he came to surrender or not, and directly brought people to draw swords and slash. After killing back and forth several times, no one dared to surrender again.

But there was no food for two consecutive days, and the army in the valley seemed to have a vague sense of riot. After all, if they were trapped like this, within three days, all of them would starve to death in the valley.

“It’s time.”

Xu Boyuan stood on the cliff, looked at the somewhat turbulent army at the foot of the mountain, and waved his hand and said, "Drop all the dry firewood!"

When the trees were cut down, Xu Boyuan and the others had already sorted out the flammable dry firewood, which was separated from the new wood that was not easy to ignite, so after Xu Boyuan gave the order, the soldiers who had entered the camp immediately threw down the piles of dry firewood.

"What?"

Looking at the things falling from the cliff, Zhao Qing was shocked, and immediately said, "Go and let all the soldiers lean against the cliff and be careful of the falling rocks on the mountain."

Zhao Qing thought that Xu Boyuan and the others had just climbed up the mountain and were about to kill them with falling rocks, so they immediately asked the soldiers to stand beside the mountain wall to avoid falling rocks thrown from the mountain.

Hearing Zhao Qing's warning, all the generals immediately hid, and then sent someone to notify their soldiers.

Firewood, which was as thick as a wrist, even as the mouth of a bowl, kept falling down. Many soldiers who were not hiding in time were hit and fell directly to the ground and never stood up again.

Fortunately, most of the dry firewood was dried out, so except for some unlucky guys, most of the soldiers hid against the attacks of these firewood in time.

"Why are it all wood?"

The soldiers standing next to the mountain wall watched for most of the day and found that these people fell from the sky were all dry firewood and no one fell rock.

"Is there no stone on the mountain?"

These soldiers, including Zhao Qing, subconsciously emerged with this idea in their hearts, but soon they were amused by themselves. How could there be no stones on the mountain?

However, since there are stones on the mountain, why did the enemy troops on the mountain just throw wood down? It seems that there are still many people on the mountain. In just a while, a thin layer of wood has been paved in the valley. After these woods broke on the ground, they squeezed each other, almost blocking the road for them.

Just as this thought emerged in their minds, some black liquid suddenly poured down from the mountain.

"What?"

Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment, and then after smelling the pungent smell, a sudden flash of inspiration in his mind and blurted out, "It's hot tincture!!!"

After guessing the answer, Zhao Qing instantly became cold. He glanced at his soldiers and did not remind him anything, but turned around and ran out of the valley.

"Run!"

Zhao Qing ran away at the throne and even told his personal guards that he didn't say anything else.

Although Zhao Qing's personal guards were a little puzzled, seeing that Zhao Qing was so anxious, they did not ask anything, but followed Zhao Qing directly and ran out of the valley.

As for other generals, they were a little quick-witted and reacted. They were about to shout, but when they saw Zhao Qing's actions, they immediately closed their mouths and followed Zhao Qing with their confidant.

After they ran away, a man with little brains finally reacted, and he shouted: "It's hot tinder, the people on the mountain are ready to burn us to death!"

As soon as this was said, all the soldiers woke up like a dream. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the soldiers immediately ran away. The scene suddenly fell into chaos. Many people were crowded and trampled on. Many soldiers who did not react had no chance to stand up after falling down.

The reason why Zhao Qing didn't remind him was because he was afraid that this would happen, so he sneaked away with his personal guard alone.

However, although these soldiers reacted now, they were a little too late, because more than a dozen barrels of hot turkey oil had been poured down. As several rockets shot down, the poured hot turkey oil suddenly started to burn.

The fierce tinder that burned when it encountered fire burned directly ignited the dry firewood that Xu Boyuan and the others had thrown off before, and spread the dry firewood all over the ground, and it started burning soon.

In the valley, flames suddenly soared into the sky, and followed by smoke and dust. Many soldiers who had not run far were choked and could not stand up, and then fell to the ground and never got up again.

As for some soldiers inside, in addition to some soldiers who were directly roasted by the flames, more of them hid deeper, hoping to avoid the burning of these fires.

Xu Boyuan, who had left these firewood, had no intention of stopping. A large part of the new wood they cut down were split into pieces by them, and they threw them away bit by bit.

Although these new woods are extremely moisture and are difficult to burn, because the fire in the valley is too large, these new woods are quickly dried up and then slowly burn.

During this process, these new trees emitted a large amount of smoke and dust, and the thick smoke directly enveloped the entire valley. In addition to making the entire valley unable to see its five fingers, it also choked many soldiers to death in the thick smoke.

"Continue to throw it away, don't stop!"

Xu Boyuan knew that although the dry firewood was burning quickly, it did not last long. If the ignition material was not continued, the flame would soon be extinguished, so he continued to order his soldiers to cover their mouths and noses and continue to throw wood into the valley.

After the firewood is thrown out, they will throw away the new wood pieces that they have chopped. When the pieces are also thrown out, then throw the new woods down. Anyway, the fire has already risen, so I don’t have to worry about destroying the fire, and it doesn’t matter what I throw.

The wood they cut down on the cliff for two days was thrown away by them.

Zhao Qing, who had escaped the fastest, couldn't help but feel a little lucky when he saw the flames ignited behind him.

Fortunately, he escaped early. If he was one step later, he would have to stay in it as a roast chicken.

“How many people are left?”

Zhao Qing took a look and a few generals escaped besides him, and then said, "Calculate the number of people. We must fight out this time, otherwise, when the fire spreads, we will all be burned to death!"

Zhao Qing's personal guard went over and counted it, and then came back soon to report: "Master, there are more than 8,000 left."

"More than eight thousand?"

Zhao Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be so many people left. However, after thinking about it, he thought it was normal. Because the spread of the flames was not a matter of a moment, most of these people escaped without the fire. It was normal to have so many people.

"It's good."

For Zhao Qing, the more people, the better. The more people he has, the more he will be. The more he will be able to break through Chen Jiu and the others' blockade.

"Brothers, they want to burn us to death and leave us a little way out."

Zhao Qing gathered his soldiers and said loudly: "Even if we surrender, they won't accept it. Are you willing to stay and be burned to death by them?"

"I don't want to! I don't want to!!!"

The soldiers who were forced into desperate situations took out the courage to burn their boats, because they knew that if they could no longer escape in this battle, they would never have hope of escaping.

"Okay, since that's the case, we'll fight them!"

Zhao Qing roared loudly with all his strength: "Our number is twice theirs. We want to let them know that we are not the meat on their chopping board!!!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

The morale of these defeated soldiers was completely mobilized by Zhao Qing at this time. They held the weapons in their hands tightly, and their hearts were filled with murderous intent toward Chen Jiu and the others.

Seeing the morale of these soldiers being aroused, Zhao Qing felt a little satisfied. Even though he knew that the soldiers who would die would be left behind, even if they were gnawing with their teeth, they would have gnawed their way out.

Zhao Qing felt that even if the morale of these soldiers is now, even if only the last one is left, they will not collapse. In their state, even if they face the most elite army in the world, Zhao Qing felt that he would have a try.

The only thing he worried about was whether Chen Jiu and the others would ask for surrender, because these soldiers had such high morale based on the idea of ​​survival. If Chen Jiu and the others surrendered, if they were relieved, the army would be beaten to the prototype immediately.

But thinking of this, Zhao Qing immediately shook his head. It would be even better if they were willing to surrender.

After all, he was not the kind of hardliner who wanted to fight to the end. He had sent people to Chen Jiu before and wanted to surrender to Chen Jiu. As a result, after his people arrived, Chen Jiu didn't listen to him and just cut his own people to death.

This incident made Zhao Qing full of resentment. He didn't know where he offended the commander of that army. Why did he feel that they were so repulsive to themselves and their army?

Zhao Qing did not take the army under his command to heart what he did in the villages and towns along the way. In his opinion, although it was a bit inappropriate for his soldiers to get some money and recruit some civilians, it was not a big deal.

After all, when the army is in progress, he can't do everything and care about everything, so there are some small flaws that are nothing at all.
To be continued...
