Chapter 905: Water on the Mountain (Part 2)
As soon as Hu Jian thought about it, he saw the woman in front of him gently flip her wrist and a cold light shot out. With a sneer, he had already pierced through the throat of the guy who was still fearless and clamoring, nailing him to the wall of the ship, and even unable to make a scream.
In an instant, many Imperial City Division personnel, including Hu Jian, changed their faces, from the anxiety just now to the fear. This is a terrible woman who really doesn't take them seriously!
Yang Qingxiao shook her hand and took back Yuebanwan, her face cold as snow. Although she has not been involved in the world over the years, she has not really become a woman who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha's name. When she should kill her, she is still not ruthless. What's more, the current game is closely related to the safety of her Li Lang and her family, so how can she let her be soft-hearted?
Just as her eyes turned back to Hu Jian, before she could speak, the other party screamed in surprise: "I...I said...we are spies from the Imperial City Division, and we have been ordered by the top to capture you... and then deal with it... The heroine spares her life, we are really just obeying our orders and have no malice towards you..."
Then the others woke up as if they were dreaming, and they all kowtowed to beg for mercy. Seeing the other party's ruthlessness, how could they dare to keep silent about Qiao? After all, they only have one life.
As they revealed their origins, the frost on Yang Qingxiao's face not only did not dissipate, but became more gloomy, and their two willow eyebrows slowly stood up: "Is the upper peak in your mouth Wei Tianying?"
"No..." Hu Jian was about to deny it, but then he felt a murderous aura and immediately changed his mouth, "No, not bad..." In fact, it was not Wei Tianying who actually sent him to the command. After all, outside personnel like him could not contact Wei Sicheng at all, but he knew who was behind the commander, and it was not wrong.
Yang Qingxiao nodded and her expression calmed down a little: "What else do you know? How do they plan to deal with Li...Li Ling?"
"I really don't know about this little guy. I can't ask more about this. I know they have other arrangements and will intercept Lord Li on land... If it doesn't work, we will ban his family and force him to submit."
This is their overall plan. Yang Qingxiao felt angry when she heard it. She hummed again and waved her hand and said, "Let them write down everything, sign and keep a watch. After returning to Huaibei, we will deal with it!"
Although he asked someone from the other party that he wanted to attack Li Ling, and the scale and layout there must be much larger than his own - after all, in the eyes of others, he was just a group of women and had no means of self-protection at all, so he had to send a few people to catch up - but Yang Qingxiao was not too worried, because Li Ling had known that there would be bumpy attacks on his way back to his hometown, and had already made all preparations.
However, after everyone stepped down and she returned to her cabin, Yang Qingxiao couldn't help but open the window and looked south: "Li Lang, where are you now, are you still safe?"
...
Li Ling was at the foot of the Fenghuling Mountains, and above were Liu Tianlong and a group of bandits, but the sky was pitch black, so that they could not see the scenery on the mountain below.
With the shouts of several officers, the torch was quickly lit, and someone planned to go up the mountain first. But at this moment, Li Ling spoke again: "Slow down."
"What are the instructions for sir?" the officer asked quickly, but he was a little dissatisfied. You asked us to arrive here soon and said that we would spend the night on the Shanhuling Mountain. Why did we stop us from taking further action when we got here?
Li Ling glanced at him and smiled and said, "You can carry arrows with you, preferably rockets."
"There are some bows and arrows, but there are no rockets. What do you want that thing to do?" Rockets are much more complicated than ordinary arrows. They are usually only equipped in specific armies. Naturally, their ordinary official army cannot have corresponding equipment.
"Forget it, there are some cloths on the car behind me. You can take some points and wrap them on the arrows. You should be quicker and wrap more." Li Ling quickly gave the order, but it made the officer stunned again. Not only him, but also the others who heard the order beside him were also a little surprised.
At this time, what are you selling for such an order?
But Lord Li only glared at his eyes, and the officers and soldiers had to follow the orders. Fortunately, although they were confused, their hands were quite fast, but in the meal, they wrapped one or two hundred arrows with torn cloth.
"What are they doing?" Liu Tianlong, the hill above, looked at the target's actions condescendingly, full of doubt. Because of the darkness and distance, they only saw the other party suddenly stop and then head back. After a while of work, they couldn't tell what they were doing.
"Are you planning to have a meal down there before climbing up?" Someone murmured in a low voice, "That would be a full-fledged ghost." This made the bandits chuckled. In their opinion, the other party had become a turtle in the jar and there was no possibility of escape.
Just as they couldn't help but guess what was going on below, a clear call came up like thunder: "Shoot the arrow!"
When the officers and soldiers were confusedly wrapping the arrows with cloth but didn't know what the purpose was, Li Ling had asked them to put the arrows on the bowstrings, and then someone picked up the torch, ignited the arrows quickly, and then issued this order.
At this point, these officers and soldiers did not understand Lord Li's intentions. Although they were still full of doubts, they subconsciously let go of the bowstring and shot a hundred fire-lit arrows directly onto Zhouhuling.
These arrows have turned into the simplest rockets at this time. Although there is no other cover and blocking the wind, and although it is not soaked in tinder oil or anything, it can make the flames on the arrow stronger, but a few dozen steps higher than the arrows cannot extinguish most of the arrow flames. So they landed smoothly on the ridge and lit many weeds and trees there.
Now that winter is just around the corner, the plants and trees are dry, and there is no rain for many days, the Fenghu Ridge is a large hayland. It is really a small spark that can cause a prairie fire. At this time, there is a whistle night wind cheering, and almost at the same time the fire has spread and burned towards the ridge.
At the same time, with Li Ling's order, a group of more than 100 rockets were sent to the mountains, making the fire more prosperous and making the situation of the bandits who were shocked to get up even worse.
The moment the rocket was shot, Liu Tianlong and the others knew that something was wrong, so they quickly turned over and wanted to block the fire. At this time, they no longer had to expose their own actions. After all, once the fire started, they would be dead.
But even so, the fire was still more terrifying than they thought. In a blink of an eye, it spread from all directions, and many people were forced to scream and screamed. Some people were even ignited by the fire and rolled around on the spot. They wanted to put out the fire, but they rolled onto a larger fire, which made the whole person burn.
Liu Tianlong slashed the Park Knife in his hand, and swept away all the flames burned beside him. However, after seeing the miserable scenes of other brothers being chased by fire, his heart was sank to the end.
This was a situation he had never encountered before. In the past, relying on his familiarity with the terrain of this place and earlier corresponding arrangements, he had killed countless caravans on the Panhuling Mountain. Unexpectedly, today, the opponent took the biggest flaw and killed him.
That's not all. When the bandits on the ridge were burning to scream and fleeing everywhere, the officers and soldiers below didn't understand that this place was actually a big trap? In addition to fear, anger also arose. Li Ling didn't need to make any arrangements. At the command of the officers, they decisively shot arrows at the enemies on the mountain.
The fires surged into the sky on the mountains, exposing everyone. And because of the fire everywhere, they were only concerned about running away, and even their weapons were left without knowing where they were thrown. Naturally, they had no defensive means, let alone counterattack. So this battle was completely reversed from previous plans, and became a one-sided killing of officers and soldiers against them.
The arrows were shot up, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemies on the mountain until they were exhausted, and there was no shouting sound on the mountain. Obviously, the ambushed ambushed to the end had been completely annihilated. Even if they were not shot by random arrows, they were burned to death by fire.
However, as the battle here ended, the fire did not go out, but instead spread to the point of spreading.
Seeing this, Li Ling decisively ordered: "Come, dig ditches along the hilltop here to prevent the fire from spreading!" As early as when he made the decision to set fire to break the enemy, Li Ling had already thought of the subsequent remedy, which was to send people to dig out the fire barriers from all sides, and then wait until the fire above burned everything that could be burned, and it would naturally be extinguished.
Although there is no saying "setting fire on the mountain and sitting in the bottom of a prison", for the sake of his own safety, Li Ling must have a proper backup plan.
The officers and soldiers now felt as respectful as gods to Li Ling. If it weren't for his sudden order to attack with fire, they would have been killed by rushing to the ridge in a daze. So even if they were a little tired at this time and the order was strange, everyone did not neglect at all. They quickly picked up various weapons and tools, and before the fire burned, they dug out a ditch two or three feet wide and one foot deep.
Of course, this is also a blessing that the mountain is mostly soil, otherwise it would be impossible to dig out such a qualified fire barrier.
As the fire barrier was dug out, the surrounding plants and trees were cleaned up. After the fire rushed down, it was no longer sustainable and finally it was slowly extinguished.
