Bolang Shachi Road was built in the Qin Dynasty and is still in use after several dynasties for thousands of years. Successive dynasties have also carried out continuous resting and widening, hoping that this traffic artery will be more convenient and smooth. However, due to the limited terrain, only minor repairs can be made. Therefore, this gallop is more than flat but not wide. The widest part can be parallel to eight cars, up to more than ten zhang wide. But at the narrowest beginning, it could only accommodate two carts in parallel, and seven or eight horses were crowded.

The west entrance of the road is the widest, but it can only accommodate more than 30 riders in a row. This kind of terrain may seem unfavorable to the cavalry, but it is even more disadvantageous for the outnumbered bandits, who are forced to fight the cavalry with a small number of men and cannot take advantage of their large numbers. Once the cavalry is faced head-on, the result can be imagined.

The long knives of the cavalry condescendingly rose and fell, and the horses rushed into the crowd without any scruples. The bows and crossbows of the cavalry in the rear shot at the crowd like poisonous snakes, and almost instantly, the bandits had collapsed psychologically and situationally. The nerves that had been tense for so long, barely maintained by strength and the last shred of faith in the so-called Holy Father, were completely broken at this moment. In the face of the merciless slaughter of officers and soldiers, a great rout began.

Nearly 10,000 bandits crowded on the narrow galloping road, the front fleeing backwards, and the rear being driven forward, they huddled together like a herd of sheep. Someone fell, and then was trampled to death by countless pairs of feet. But the chaos didn't last long, and soon everyone came to a consensus, and that was: Run!

Regardless of the front and rear, tens of thousands of bandits began to flee along the gallop road to the east exit. They held their heads, and the ghosts cried wolf, like a herd of antelopes chased by tigers and wolves, and they ran away with all their hearts, not caring about anything else. They lost their weapons, threw their improvised shields, and pulled their black robes, which made it difficult to move. Anything that interfered with their escape, they threw it away. Even the slow runners in front of them pushed them away mercilessly. Many of the bandits were pushed and thrown down into the thorn bushes and muddy swamps by the roadside. The blood of the stabbing was drenched, and he was trapped in the mire and died.

Meng Xiang tried to stop the rout at first, but soon found that he couldn't stop it. So he could only be dragged by the crowd and flee backwards. He rode his horse, caught in the middle of the crowd, and the horse knocked down many people, all of whom were trampled to death by those behind him. At this moment, Meng Xiang couldn't care about this.

In the rear, Guo Kun led the cavalry to chase all the way in, and many bandits surrendered on their knees and were captured by the infantry who followed behind. has been chasing for two or three miles, and seeing that the sky is dark, and the four fields in the Bolang sand are vast, Guo Kun does not dare to go deeper. Who knows if there is an ambush of bandits behind, although it doesn't seem like it, but the sky is getting dark, and the horses are already difficult to identify the path, so it is extremely dangerous to chase and kill. Moreover, the purpose of this battle is only to drive away the bandits and rescue Lin Jue and others, the purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to risk chasing them.

So Guo Kun ordered to stop the pursuit, reorganize the troops and horses on the spot, and wait for the bandits to withdraw, and launch a search and rescue operation.

Even though the pursuit had stopped, the bandits who had been running for a moment dared not stop for a moment, and they still ran wildly towards the eastern entrance. Human potential is unlimited, although this group of bandits has not eaten a full meal since two days ago, and has suffered merciless killing, and has endured great psychological torture and horror, but at this moment they still burst out with infinite strength. from

The distance from the west entrance to the east entrance of the gallop road was more than six miles, and they did not stop for a moment, running all the way, showing super endurance. After only half an hour, they were approaching the entrance to the east. As long as you rush out of here, it is a flat land, but you can scatter and escape, and the chance of escape is greatly increased.

The group of people who ran fastest didn't even notice the piles of black trees on the road, and dozens of people plunged into the branches, hitting their noses and faces to be swollen, and their thorns were covered with blood.

"What's going on, what's going on here?" The congregants stood still with a sudden brake, and looked at the hill-like pile of miscellaneous trees in front of them that blocked the entire road.

"I don't know, who did it?" Others are also staring at each other.

"The one in front of me was stunned and crawled over, but it was just a pile of branches. Climb quickly, stand and wait for death. The bandits who came from the rear were shouting and scolding.

"Yes, crawl over, crawl quickly." The bandits in front of them suddenly realized that they began to climb up the tree mountain. Although this small mountain of trees is mixed with a large number of thorns, messy branches, and stinging people are drenched in blood, but at this moment, what are these worth? Life is the most important thing, and flesh injuries are nothing at all.

A group of bandits began to crawl to the top of the miscellaneous trees, densely packed like a swarm of ants. The hill was not difficult to climb, and soon someone climbed to the top. But they didn't have time to rejoice, for they saw a group of people standing high and low on the road on that side, a few people in front, with a few torches in their hands. The light of the torches was obscured by the mountains of trees, so Shicai didn't know that there was anyone on the other side.

"Ignition." Someone shouted in a deep voice.

Several black shadows with torches in their hands rushed forward and came to the bottom of the firewood mountain, their torches lit all the way along the edge, but the sound of beeps and sparks sparked, and the bright flames burned at an incredible speed. Almost in a few breaths, the trees below ignited, forming a wall of fire.

The bandits who climbed to the top rolled down and shouted, "There is someone on the other side, there is a fire, quickly retreat." ”

Everyone also saw the fire burning on the back of the Miscellaneous Tree Mountain, and they all retreated. In a matter of moments, the light of the fire had risen to the top of the hill of miscellaneous trees. Smoke and flames rose from the fire, and there was a pungent smell of gunpowder in the air. The oversized firewood piles piled up by the entire miscellaneous trees burned brightly during the tea time.

This is exactly the blocking method that Lin Jue finally decided, using the fire to block the other party's escape path, which is the most appropriate method for local conditions. The fire must be large and burn violently, so it needs to be piled up all over the gallop like a hill. More than 100 people cut down trees almost non-stop and piled them up on the gallop road. Lin Jue led more than a dozen people to collect hay and dry firewood, and bundled more than a dozen bundles of dry firewood and straw to ignite wet trees and vines.

In order to increase the speed of firepower, Lin Jue punctured all the gunpowder sacs, poured out all the gunpowder and sprinkled it on the firewood and grass. Therefore, when the torch is lit, the gunpowder ignites the fire more quickly, and it can also ignite other branches faster.

If someone doubts that a wet tree cannot be burned, it is a lack of common sense. In fact, even if it's a freshly cut down tree, it's just below

If there is enough combustion, and the fire is fast enough, the water can quickly evaporate and become dry firewood. That's why forest fires happen. Although they were living trees, they would burn into flames when scorched by the fire. The trees cut down here are only the thickness of an arm's length, so they are easier to dry in a short period of time and then burn quickly.

Lin Jue did not hesitate to pour gunpowder on dry wood to increase the power of the flames, in order to quickly ignite these felled miscellaneous trees. As it turned out, the fire was even more intense than expected, and the entire fire became a deflagrating volcano in a very short time.

The fire burned rapidly, and the surrounding air was quickly swept away, giving birth to a strange hot wind. The pale red flames rose more than ten feet high, illuminating the heavens and the earth clearly, and no one could stand within dozens of steps.

Bursting flames danced in the twilight darkness, writhing in the air like fiery dragons, and making a loud whistling sound. This scene gives people a sense of panic that the end is coming, and people are at a loss and frightened.

All the bandits watched all this blankly, their bodies were roasted hot, but their hearts were like falling into an ice cellar, and they were cold.

Meng Xiang rode on a horse and ran between the sect members to the east exit, although there were mounts, but the crowd was crowded and mixed, but he did not run to the front. At the bend from the exit, the congregation made it difficult for everyone to walk.

"What's going on, why don't you leave?" Meng Xiang shouted loudly.

"Meng Shoujiao, there was a fire in front, and someone lit a fire in front of it, blocking all the roads. It's over, and everyone can't get out. Someone shouted in a panic.

"Nonsense, how is that possible? How could someone set a fire? Meng Xiang was surprised in his heart, and stretched his neck to look ahead as he spoke. In the distance, the fire was rising, and in just a moment, Meng Xiang saw the flames that lit the sky and the scene of reddening the sky. The sound of the beeping flames burning and bursting blew in the hot air, and although they were far away, they could still feel a burst of fire.

Meng Xiang's heart was cold, and he realized that something was wrong. How did it come that there was a fire here and the back road was blocked? It is very likely that the officers and soldiers did it, and this is to seal the way of retreat and annihilate all these people here.

"What to do? What to do? I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet. ”

"I don't want to die, I haven't gotten married yet. When I die, my family will be ruined. ”

"Oh my god, why am I so stupid, how did I come here to fight. Although the days were hard in the past, they didn't kill me. Well, we're all going to die here. ”

The surrounding congregation was crying. At this time, many people woke up and began to regret it, began to scold themselves for being stupid, and began to miss the peaceful life before. However, it all seems to be a little late.

Meng Xiang frowned and scolded angrily: "What are you crying about? A bunch of waste. Isn't it your oath to die faithfully for the Father? Besides, it doesn't have to be dead. Tell the person in front of you to rush through the fire. I now ask the Holy Father to come down and give you shelter from the fire, so that you will be safe and sound. Rush over, quick! ”

Everyone looked at Meng Xiang like an idiot. By this time, the guy was still lying. It's really hateful.
