Chapter 229: A Sea of Fire
A few Mobei armor soldiers slowly approached the hole, then lowered down and got in. More people were waiting at the entrance of the cave.
The few Mobei armor soldiers who entered walked slowly towards the edge of the cave and did not find any guards.
But before he could take a few steps forward, he heard a few muffled sounds of swishing, and before he could react, he felt a pain in his body, and then he fell down.
The few people who were observing at the entrance of the cave immediately reported the situation to Luo Cheng.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the people inside may know that we have come." Luo Cheng said.
"We're careless, there must be a sentry around here!" Wen Bufan said.
"Such a small hole. Not suitable for large troops, there must be other exits here! Wen Bufan looked around and said, "Disperse the troops!" ”
"Yes!" Luo Cheng said.
Half an hour later, a small group of soldiers followed the rope to the entrance of the cave, surrounded by a basket of unlit torches, weeds, branches, and buckets of oil!
A few soldiers lit their torches and walked slowly towards the cave, and when they came to the previous soldiers, they did not go any further, they dragged the soldiers out, and then carried all the weeds and branches here.
The soldiers threw the weeds and branches into it until the passage in front of them was almost blocked, then opened the oil barrels and spilled all the oil on them!
Then most of the soldiers retreated, leaving only one soldier to stay and light the fire.
After lighting the fire, the soldier exited the cave, and the soldiers who had been prepared outside the cave quickly blocked most of the hole. Puffs of smoke rose from the cracks in the hole.
After another half an hour, smoke came out of several places on the opposite hill.
"Immediately the soldiers around here will go and investigate!" Wen Bufan said.
"Yes!" Luo Cheng quickly ordered all his soldiers to go out and spread orders everywhere!
Half an hour later, Wen Bufan, Luo Cheng and the others stood in front of a large hole.
This cave is actually quite hidden, and it is not very close to the hole in the cliff. If it weren't for the smoke, I guess I wouldn't be able to find it for a while.
It's also the largest hole in several smoking places!
"The rest of the places are looking for someone to watch! Let's go in from here! Wen Bufan said.
The sentry had entered the cave, and there was no one at the entrance to the cave. In order not to startle the snake, Wen Bufan did not let the sentry continue to advance.
Wen Bufan and Luo Cheng led five thousand carefully selected Mobei armor warriors into this cave, the entrance of this cave seems to be very large, but after entering, there is a narrow road, but through here, the front is also wide. There was still a trace of smoke coming out of the cave, and a short distance further on, I saw several sentries lying in ambush there.
"How?" Luo Cheng walked over and asked.
"Smoke is coming up from below." The sentry pointed to the front and said, "There are voices down there." ”
"Let's go and have a look." Wen Bufan said to Luo Cheng.
Wen Bufan and Luo Cheng came to the front of the cave with a few personal soldiers, and the further they walked in, the thicker the smoke became.
It can be clearly seen that the smoke is coming out of the cracks in the stones below the cave, Luo Cheng protected his nose, squatted down, put his ear on the stone, listened for a while, and said to Wen Bufan: "Your Majesty, there are indeed people below." ”
Wen Bufan glanced at the smoke-emitting stone crevices, looked around again, and said, "We have to find a way to go down!" ”
The soldiers guarded their ears and noses, and searched around the smoke-filled stone crevices.
"Your Majesty, this stone can be moved!" A pro-soldier said.
"Good!" Wen Bufan walked over and saw that it was a large oval stone with a diameter of more than one meter, "Go find some more people and move this stone away!" ”
By this time in the cave below, Dele Khan had already extinguished the fire at the entrance to the cliff.
Although the fire was extinguished, the smoke was getting thicker. And there seemed to be someone fanning the wind outside the entrance of the cave, and thick smoke rushed towards the cave.
The cave was also noisy, so no one noticed the movement overhead.
But Wen Bufan didn't know the situation below, and still asked the soldiers to keep quiet as much as possible.
The huge stone was finally lifted, and although some stones fell as it was lifted, no one noticed by the noisy crowd below.
After the stone was removed, a palm-sized hole appeared. Wen Bufan reached out and touched the surroundings of the hole, which could be expanded. Through the entrance of the cave, I can clearly see the people below running back and forth, there is a lot of space below, and there are many people, and I can vaguely hear someone directing.
Wen Bufan was initially worried that the people below would leave, but now it seems that these people are still here.
Wen Bufan glanced at the entrance of the cave, then looked at the puffs of smoke below and smiled.
After a while, a pair of tree branches and barrels of fire oil moved to Wen Bufan's location, and at this time, the hole had been expanded to the point where a fire oil barrel could be easily thrown in.
After everything was ready, Wen Bufan said, "It's time to start!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers agreed. First, he threw more than a dozen oil barrels into it, and as soon as those oil barrels hit the ground, they exploded, and the oil burst in all directions, and then piles of weeds and branches were thrown in, and these weeds and branches were accompanied by lit torches, and as soon as the torches landed, they immediately ignited the oil on the ground. The weeds that were close to falling were also ignited. But this is not the end, after these weeds and branches fell, dozens of oil barrels were thrown down directly, some of the oil barrels fell to the ground and cracked, and the fire oil that burst out instantly turned into flames and shot out, while some of the oil barrels exploded directly!
The cave instantly turned into a sea of fire! Those who were burned by the flames cried out loud!
Dele Khan hurriedly led the people around him to retreat elsewhere.
After throwing down those oil barrels, Wen Bufan led the troops to retreat, and as soon as they got out of the cave, puffs of smoke followed and chased them out.
"Are you sure about that exit?" Wen Bufan said to Luo Cheng as he walked.
"It's confirmed, the report over there says that the smoke is coming out, and the sound inside is also very loud!" Luo Cheng said.
"Let's go! Let's go! ”
Wen Bufan said and quickened his pace.
At this moment, the sentry came to report: "Your Majesty, a large number of enemy troops have been found in the southwest, and General Tie Songlin has already engaged the enemy army!" ”
"Good! It's finally out! Wen Bufan said: "Luo Cheng, the rest of the things have to depend on you!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured! This time the mission will be accomplished! Luo Cheng agreed, and rode his horse away.
"Go and tell Lord Hunter that he has to watch the rest of the place!" Wen Bufan said to the sentry.
