C2422 The Fire Was Fierce
As soon as Wang Cheng's men retreated, Lin Yu and the others immediately felt the pressure on them lessen. Lin Yu also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Previously, he was really afraid that these Rebellion Soldier people would be stubborn. If they insisted on getting entangled with them here, they wouldn't be able to escape. In the end, all of them would be burned to death by the flames and perish together with them.
Fortunately, those people still took the initiative to retreat. In this way, the Rebellion Force in front of them would all retreat. No one would be able to stop them, and the open space in front of them would allow them to escape even more.
"Retreat! Hurry up and leave!" Lin Yu said to his men. The opportunity in front of them was very rare. If they missed this opportunity, they might really lose it. Besides, the fire around them was getting bigger and bigger. If they didn't leave now... They really wouldn't be able to leave.
The soldiers of Imperial Guards naturally understood this situation. They hurriedly put away their weapons and began to climb quickly. Now, the most important thing was not to kill the enemy. Instead, they needed to evacuate from this place as soon as possible without the interference of the Rebellion Soldier. Their movements were also much faster.
On the other side, Lu Yizha and the surviving Fengjue Country followers... Their speed was also not slow. The Rebellion Soldier disciples who were the last to stop them were also retreating. They immediately seized this opportunity and followed closely behind. They continued to climb.
As for the eunuchs, palace maid, and the ordinary soldiers of the Great Lu Dynasty... At this moment, they were also screaming as they quickly escaped upwards. The previous battle had already caused them to lose a lot of their lives, and these survivors were already frightened out of their wits. Now that they had the chance to escape, there naturally wouldn't be any delays.
"Princess, be careful, let's hurry up and leave as well." Xiao Huan said to Princess Qi.
"En." Princess Qi gritted her teeth and said.
During this period of time, they had already expended too much physical strength. After all, they were just weak girls. Such a thing... Their bodies couldn't bear it. Both of them wanted to... They could just find a place to lie down.
However, both of them understood that it was not the time to rest yet. They had to follow the troops in front of them. They could not afford any delays. Otherwise, they might be burned alive.
"Hmph, it's not that easy to escape!" Bai Yufei had arrived at the top of the mountain. Looking at the dense crowd of people climbing up the mountain, his face was filled with a cold smile. Immediately, he ordered his subordinates to quicken the pace of their attacks, and let the fire burn up as soon as possible.
More and more flaming arrows fell from the sky, and the fire on the hillside also became bigger and bigger. It already made those who were close to them feel very hot.
At this time, Shi Dafu and the others who were the first to run away... They hadn't reached the top of the mountain yet. After all, the mountain path was very difficult to walk on. They had to avoid the flames and the arrows on top of the mountain, which made their speed even slower.
"Bastard, those bastards really want to burn us to death here. If I find out who they are, I won't let them go!" Shi Dafu cursed as he walked up.
The actions of the people above were very obvious now. They wanted to burn all of them to death here. Look at the surrounding flames. This could be understood. According to the clothes of those people, Shi Dafu also knew that these people should be from the Rebellion Force. He had never thought that they would be so ruthless.
Shi Dafu also felt aggrieved. Before this operation, he and the goateed man were thinking of ways to plot against Wang Cheng, hoping to reap the benefits as the fisherman. In the end, he never thought that his plan would be seen through by Wang Cheng. Being forced to participate in the battle ahead of time and not being able to become a fisherman wasn't the worst outcome. The worst part was that not only did he fail to become a fisherman, but he also failed to become a fisherman. Now, he was even forced to become a sparrow.
Shi Dafu felt extremely aggrieved when he thought about how someone was plotting against him while he was busy plotting against others. Furthermore, he had fallen into someone else's trap.
However, even if he felt aggrieved, there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do now was to climb up as soon as possible. As long as he got out of here, he would never let those people go.
As for the goatee who had been helping Shi Dafu, he was no longer there. Just now, he had unfortunately been shot by an arrow. The arrow not only hit his chest, but also burned his clothes. He quickly turned into a ball of fire, scaring Shi Dafu, who was standing next to him, and quickly moved away. He was afraid that he would also catch fire.
The goatee that had turned into a ball of fire naturally had no chance of surviving. He was filled with unwillingness as he asked Shi Dafu for help, hoping that Shi Dafu could save him. Unfortunately, at this moment, Shi Dafu wished that he could stay as far away from him as possible. Why would he take the risk to save him?
That was why Goatee was burned to death. His miserable scream before his death echoed in the ears of many people at the scene. It made them panic even more, and their hands and feet felt cold.
Shi Dafu had witnessed this scene with his own eyes, so he began to feel fear in his heart. Originally, this was only a relatively simple operation. With the foreshadowing from before, they were going to eliminate the person who was sending them off. It wouldn't be too troublesome. The moment they saw the other party fall for it... Shi Dafu and Wang Cheng were the same. They both felt that they had succeeded this time.
However, he didn't expect that things would go smoothly. Something unexpected had actually happened at the last moment. Those people who were in the wedding procession... Indeed, it did not cause them too much trouble. However... The person who suddenly appeared behind them had taken their lives. They had blocked their escape route and even set fire to them. The fire was already very big, and there were ignited fireballs everywhere. Their upward speed was also severely affected.
Shi Dafu really felt afraid. He was afraid that he would die here. He didn't want to die in the hands of these people who weren't part of his plan. He still had many ambitions that he wanted to fulfill.
Shi Dafu, who was now afraid, had unleashed his great potential to escape. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else. He could only climb up as fast as possible and escape from this place.
Of course, Shi Dafu didn't forget to urge his men to escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, he alone wouldn't be able to break through the blockade of those people even if he reached the top of the mountain.
In fact, even without Shi Dafu's urging, his men wouldn't dare to be neglectful. After all, this was related to their own lives. How could they not pay attention to it?
As for the other people from the Rebellion Force, they continued to climb up without caring about anything else. It was the same for the people in the wedding procession. This created an interesting scene. The people who were fighting to the death just now... At this moment, they were actually getting along harmoniously... It was even to the extent that... Some of the soldiers of the Imperial Guards were less than a meter away from the soldiers of the Rebellion Army. However, neither of them made a move. Instead, it was as if they didn't see each other. They continued to flee.
Obviously, everyone understood what the most important thing right now was not to kill these enemies, but to escape from here.
In this situation where there was no threat, their speed of escape was still very fast. Some of Shi Dafu's men were actually approaching the peak of the mountain.
"Quick, stop them. Don't let any of them escape!" Bai Yufei obviously didn't expect that those people on the hillside would... Furthermore, everyone's speed was not slow. Originally, he thought that those people weren't in the same group. In the process of escaping, they would definitely fight with each other. If that was the case, it would buy them some time.2
But the truth was that those people were like strangers. They did not have any intention of causing trouble for each other. They actually got along so harmoniously. Furthermore, Bai Yufei had also underestimated the desire and potential of everyone to escape. When their lives were threatened, the people on the hillside erupted with tremendous potential. It had actually increased their speed by quite a bit.
However, Bai Yufei had also prepared for today's plan for a long time. Naturally, he would not be willing to see his plan fail and let those people leave this place smoothly. More importantly, once those people broke through the blockade he had set up, they would know his identity. After that, those people would definitely not let him go. Bai Yufei didn't think that he had the ability to resist the revenge of so many Rebellion Force at the same time.
Therefore, he had to kill all these people here today no matter what. Even if he couldn't kill all of them, he would still make them suffer heavy losses. He couldn't recover from the setback. Only by doing so could he become the strongest force in the Rebellion Force. They wouldn't have to worry about the revenge of the other major powers.
Bai Yufei's attack had become even fiercer. The people below were naturally in an even more miserable state. The number of casualties kept increasing. More and more people were either killed or burned to death, and it became even more difficult for them to escape.
However, no matter how difficult it was, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, because this was their only way out. Apart from continuing upwards, they had no other choice.
Besides, everyone's heart was burning with anger. They really wanted to know. In the end, who had come so suddenly at this critical moment, and not only had it destroyed their plans? If they knew who they were, they would never let them go.
Princess Qi and Xiao Huan were still fleeing. Their luck was really not bad. There were no accidents. However, on their faces... Their bodies were covered in black dust, soil, weeds, and so on. They were no different from the other palace maid. Their previous identities could not be seen at all.
