C2411 The Exit Is Sealed
Sun De was just an ordinary low-ranking general of the Imperial Guards. In fact, he didn't have much power, and his skills couldn't be said to be the best in the entire Imperial Guards. He was able to become a low-ranking officer because he had fought bravely on the battlefield without fear of death. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of death, but there was nothing he could do in this situation. He could ensure the safety of Princess Qi and Xiao Huan.
Furthermore, the attack from those people from the Rebellion Force... Wave after wave, the surroundings were filled with chaotic crowds. In addition, there were also a lot of huge rocks and rolling logs blocking the way in the valley. Anyone in the valley... No one dared to say that they would be safe and that they would be able to escape this place safely... Besides, they had to bring along two "burdens."
"No matter what, we have to give it a try. If we continue to stay here, we will only die." Sun De said with a solemn expression.
At this time, there were already a lot of casualties in the valley. Most of them were killed by those people on the mountain with giant rocks. Some of the people killed by rolling wood and arrows also died at the feet of their own people. They were trampled to death, no matter what the reason was. In any case... At this moment, the number of casualties in the entire valley was increasing. It was getting more and more dangerous.
The only way to survive now was to rush out, no matter if it was from the front or the back, as long as they could get out.
Princess Qi and Xiao Huan also understood this principle. Therefore, they also knew that what Sun De said was right. Stay. The only thing they could do here was to wait for death. If they continued to flee... Although it was also very dangerous, there was also a glimmer of hope... Although this hope wasn't that great, there was still hope.
Hence, Sun De led the way in front, followed by Princess Qi and Xiao Huan. The three of them began to escape. Even though death was to Princess Qi... It could be a relief, but who would want to die? Being able to survive was naturally the best. Furthermore, Princess Qi's heart was still thinking about her Brother Emperor and the Great Lu Dynasty. Of course, she would also take the initiative to seek death. If there was a chance... She also wanted to live.
However, there were people around them. In addition, there were some boulders and rolling wood that fell into the valley. It made the speed of the three of them advance not fast, Princess Qi and Xiao Huan. They were just ordinary weak girls. In such a chaotic situation, the strength that they could display was not strong.
The three of them were working hard to move forward while the people around them kept falling. Wails and cries for help spread throughout the entire valley. At this moment, the valley was like a pot of boiling water that kept boiling.
While Princess Qi and the other two were trying their best to escape, Lu Yizha, Lin Yu and the others were also fleeing with their men. Their target was two exits. As long as they could get out of here, they would be safe.
"You want to leave? It's not that easy!" Wang Cheng, who was standing on the hillside, looked at the fleeing crowd and sneered.
So far, things had progressed quite smoothly. The people at the foot of the mountain were indeed unusually chaotic under their ambush. If the people below were only soldiers of Imperial Guards or Fengjue Country... Then... Things might not go so smoothly. However, in the crowd, there were many eunuchs and palace maid who would seriously affect the performance of the Fengjue Country's followers and the Imperial Guards's soldiers. The chaotic situation was also caused by those people. After that... ... They charged into the Imperial Guards's group, and only then did the people below... There was no way for them to organize an effective fight.
Looking at the continuous deaths of the people below, Wang Cheng felt more and more proud in his heart. His plan was about to succeed. As long as he killed those people below him... Then, they would have a chance to develop, while he himself... He would obtain a higher position in the Rebellion Force. And he would have a greater say in this matter. Once he had fully integrated the Rebellion Army's forces... At that time, he wouldn't have to be afraid of the people of the Imperial Court. It would be time for him to show his true ambition.
The prerequisite for everything was to kill the people below, so that the Fengjue Country and Great Lu Dynasty wouldn't stop fighting. Therefore, for the sake of this plan, Wang Cheng naturally had a lot of preparations. One of them was to send someone to their death to confuse their opponent. Now that their opponent had already fallen into an ambush, how could Wang Cheng let them leave so easily?
Huge rocks rolled down one after another. The huge rocks rolling down this time were different from the ones before. There were quite a lot of oil stains on the surface of these boulders, as well as some other combustible substances. It rolled down with a loud rumble.
At this time, the people in the valley below, the people in front of the group and the people at the back had already escaped from the valley. After all, they were very close to the exit, so they realized that something was wrong. They had already made their move, and the boulders and rolling wood rolled down. They also needed time. This also gave them the time and opportunity to escape.
However, at this time, only a small portion of the people who truly escaped the valley. Most of the people were still heading towards these two exits. However, at this moment, a lot of boulders rolled down from the hillside. The intersection was blocked, except for those who had escaped. The rest of the people were trapped in the valley.
"Climb! Climb!"
Many people did not stop after seeing the huge rocks. The exit was right in front of them. How could they give up so easily? As long as they crossed the boulders, they would be safe. Furthermore, these boulders were much larger than the smaller ones. However, the highest they could reach was only one or two meters. After all, these stones were previously hidden on the mountain. If they were any bigger... It's easy to be exposed.
Therefore, it was not impossible to climb over these stones. Therefore, the people in the escort team did not stop at all and began to climb.
Wang Cheng looked at this scene and smiled coldly. Then, he said loudly, "Shoot the rocket!"
Immediately, the people on the mountain gave up on ordinary arrows. They changed their arrows to live fire arrows. Under the shocked and fearful eyes of the people below, fire arrows flew down.
Those who were hit by these arrows were naturally in extreme pain. Some of them even burned their clothes, turning them into fireballs. Of course, because the flames weren't very big, most people would only feel pain after their clothes were on fire. They still had time to take off their clothes to prevent themselves from being burned to death.
Of course, injuries were unavoidable, and those who were hit in the vitals would even die directly.
Wang Cheng didn't really care about this. It would be best if he could shoot someone to death. It was fine even if he could not shoot them to death. After all, he asked people to use rockets instead. It wasn't just for killing people. ... If that was the case... There was no need for him to use a rocket. He could just use an ordinary arrow.
Wang Cheng naturally had other motives for changing to a rocket.
"I want to see how you guys run and climb!" Wang Cheng thought in his heart.
At this time, the first batch of rockets had already been shot down. Apart from shooting some people, the most important thing was that most of the rockets were flying in the direction of the giant rocks at the two exits.
When the huge rocks were shot by the arrows, they turned into huge fireballs. The flammable objects that were smeared on the surface of the giant rocks were ignited by the rockets one by one. The person who was crawling on top of it was burning. They were also burned by the flames.
At this moment, the people who were planning to escape by climbing over the huge rocks... They were all hesitating. Because, in front of them... It was no longer a simple boulder. Instead, it was a huge burning fireball. These fireballs formed powerful flames. Anyone who came into contact with them... They would immediately burn the opponent.
However, the desire to escape prompted these people to think of a way. They moved the corpses of the dead people over. They were thrown onto the boulder. They covered the fire so that before the bodies were all burnt, they still had a chance to escape.1
This way, some people managed to escape. However... There weren't many of them. At this moment, the corpses had all been burnt up. After turning into a fireball, it became even more difficult for the people behind to climb over the huge rock.
These people still wanted to continue moving the corpses. As long as they temporarily suppressed the flames, they would have a chance to escape.
However, before they could take action, another boulder rolled down. They piled up on the rocks from before, turning them into a stone wall. The height had also changed from one or two meters to three or four meters now. The difficulty of climbing was even higher, and there were raging flames on the rocks. It was impossible for them to extinguish the flames in a short period of time. Furthermore, there were huge rocks rolling down the mountain. The height of the stone wall... It was also increasing. Moreover, there were arrows continuously shooting at the people who were sending their relatives to the stone wall. It made the remaining people even more chaotic.
When Lu Yizha, along with his personal guards and the middle-aged messenger, arrived in front of the stone wall... The burning stone wall was already seven or eight meters tall. It was almost as tall as the walls of some small cities. And... The stone walls were still burning.
Now, the people in the escort team didn't dare to get too close to the stone wall. After all, the flames on the stone wall were already very big. Moreover, the people on the mountain were obviously taking care of this place. There were many arrows flying to this place. If they were too close to the stone wall... They would be easily hit by these arrows.
"His Highness the Prince? What should we do?" The guards and followers of Lu Yizha looked at Lu Yizha and said.
The current situation could be said to be extremely dangerous. They had already been trapped by the enemy, and were now like turtles caught in a jar. They had no other choice but to rely on Lu Yizha to come up with a solution. After all, Lu Yizha had always led them to victory on the battlefield.
