Qin Xiaozheng was looking down at the fire.

The trees on Yuqing Peak were dense, and the fire started burning halfway up the mountain, taking advantage of the wind, and then spread quickly. The fire spread so fast that there was no time for the Imperial Army to react. Even Qin Xiao was surprised that the fire spread faster than he had imagined.

Also quickly.

After the Forbidden Army discovered that they had fallen into a trap, their retreat speed could not match the speed of the fire's spread.

The Tongtian Road is inherently narrow, and only four or five people can walk side by side in a row. Six hundred people are like a long snake. When they are suddenly attacked by fire, it is extremely difficult to retreat down the mountain.

These forbidden troops have the strongest armor. Once they fight, they will naturally have the advantage in terms of equipment. However, the armor they are wearing at this moment has become a burden and it is extremely inconvenient to move.

When the soldiers at the end saw something unexpected happening ahead, they were frightened and turned around to retreat.

But as the saying goes, it’s easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down.

Going down this kind of steep mountain road is more difficult than climbing up. Even if you are well-trained, you can't get up quickly. On the contrary, there are many soldiers on the top who are crowding and trampling. Many people roll down from the top, and those who are behind cannot retreat in time, and are trapped.

The companions who rolled down were bumped into each other, and more people rolled down the mountain path. The scene was unbearable for a while.

Qin Xiao looked at it with solemn eyes.

If Tantai Xuanye hadn't usurped power, these forbidden soldiers would not have died like this.

The forest fire was raging, but Qin Xiao was not worried that it would burn down the Tianshi Temple.

The outer wall of Tianzhai, except for the road into the main hall, is surrounded by a trench, which even contains water. This was a design made when the Tianshi Hall was built, firstly because of Feng Shui considerations.

, secondly, store water in the trench. If water leaks out of Tianshi Temple, it can be used at any time to extinguish the fire.

Therefore, even if there is a strong fire in the surrounding forest, there is no need to worry that the fire will spread to the main hall.

Many people even climbed up the wall and looked down at the fire. They were frightened and happy to see countless soldiers howling and screaming in the flames.

Everyone could see that these officers and soldiers were fully armed, and they came very suddenly. If Qin Xiao hadn't prepared in advance, and the factions were suddenly attacked by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Qingyan powder is really powerful." Qin Xiao glanced at Suzaku beside him and said with emotion: "The speed of fire spreading is no less than that of fire oil."

Zhuque said: "If you pour kerosene on the steps, the stone steps will be slippery, and the smell of kerosene will be diffused, and it will be easily discovered by them."

"That's right." Qin Xiao said: "The smell of this Qingyan powder is so weak that they can't smell it at all."

Suzaku said: "Master discovered Qingyan powder on the island. It can be used to make elixirs and can also be used for antisepsis. Tianzhai has a lot of it. I didn't expect that it would be used for this purpose today."

"Leader Wang, the enemy has fallen into chaos, can we attack now?" The voice of Sun and Moon Alliance Leader Gong Yanghe came from behind Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "Let's play the drum!"

Gongyang He immediately turned around and shouted: "Drum!"

Not far behind, there are eight large drums lined up in a row, supported by drum stands. On both sides of each drum stood a burly man, holding a drumstick in his hand. When the male sheep gave an order, the eight drums were

Sixteen big men on both sides of the big drum beat the drum at the same time.

These sixteen people were all strong men selected from various factions. When the incense drums were beaten, the sound shook all directions. Even the screams of the forbidden troops on the mountain were shrill, but the sound of the eight-sided drum was still not heard by the screams.

Cover it up and spread it far and wide.

Han Feng, who was in shock at the foot of the mountain, naturally heard the sound of drums coming from the top of the mountain. He knew something was wrong, and saw two to three hundred people scattered at the foot of the mountain. He did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Array, array

!”

When the soldiers of the Forbidden Army saw their companions being burned by fire on the mountain, they were horrified and also filled with grief. After all, they were all brothers who lived and trained together. During the operation tonight, nearly half of the brothers were trapped in the sea of ​​​​fire and could not escape. Everyone wanted to

Looking for a way to rescue him, but in this case, there is nothing he can do.

Although some people heard Han Feng's cry and went to gather, most people were still focused on the mountain and failed to pay attention.

Han Feng saw only a few soldiers coming, and heard the rapid beating of drums on the mountain. He knew something was wrong, and ignored the injury on his leg. He was about to go over to gather people, when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, and then heard someone

Said: "Captain, it's not good, it's not good...!"

At this time, Han Feng's heart had sunk to the bottom. He couldn't bear to hear such words. He turned around and angrily shouted: "What's wrong?"

But he saw several soldiers running over, panting. They were the soldiers he sent to arrest the internal responders. Seeing that they returned empty-handed, he already guessed something and asked sharply: "Where are the people?"

"Gone." The soldier said: "Not only is that man missing, but also... There are also Tiesha disciples. They killed several brothers who stayed on the ship, and they all disappeared...!

"

"Damn it!" Han Feng couldn't help but cursed: "Trap, fell into the trap, that bitch Duan Erlang, he... he is not a good person!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier was heard shouting in shock: "Colonel Lieutenant, you... look!"

Han Feng followed the sound and looked over, and saw a soldier pointing eastward. Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw countless figures rushing towards him in the night, like wolves and tigers.

Those figures were like ghosts in the dark night, rushing towards them at extremely fast speeds, but they made no sound.

He looked westward almost as a reflex.

Just as she expected, a group of figures were rushing towards her from the west.

He was horrified.

In just this moment, he knew the other party's plan.

There is no doubt that there are people who understand military law among these gangsters.

The factions have already set up ambushes, using fire attacks to cause damage to the Forbidden Army. They can also disrupt the formation of the Forbidden Army and put the Forbidden Army into panic. Even if this chaos is only for a moment, it can also bring opportunities to the factions.

opportunity.

Various factions ambush on the left and right. This is a common form of outflanking in the art of war. On the battlefield, the two wings are usually weak points. Once the enemy cuts in from both wings, the military formation will immediately become difficult to control and fall into a state of chaos.

Of course, Han Feng did not expect that the other party would deploy it so carefully.

There was no manpower deployed on both wings to guard beforehand, so disciples from both sides had already poured in like a tide.

At this time, the morale of the Forbidden Army is at its lowest, but the morale of the various factions is at its peak. Once they are cut in from both wings and fall into a state of hand-to-hand combat, it will naturally be a great disadvantage to the Forbidden Army. This is also the reason why the Forbidden Army has been deployed since the beginning.

It is a situation that I try my best to avoid.

Without thinking, relying on his own experience, he immediately said: "Retreat, form a crane wing formation, and prevent the enemies on both wings from approaching."

He had already observed that the disciples of various sects who came from both wings were numerous. Once they were cut in, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although most of the soldiers have not recovered from the chaotic state, the hundreds of people who had followed Han Feng from the beach to support were still advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. Under Han Feng's command, the soldiers quickly formed their formations and headed towards

The left and right wings formed a diagonal formation, knowing that the enemies coming from both wings were enemies, so without hesitation, they fired crossbow arrows at both sides.

Compared with the longbow, the range of the crossbow is much lower, but the biggest advantage is that it can be used at short distances, and the power of the crossbow is much stronger than that of the bow and arrow. Once hit by the crossbow, it will definitely penetrate deep into the flesh.

The disciples of the various sects on both wings were very fast and had already entered the range of the crossbow. After a round of crossbow arrows were fired, screams could be heard continuously, and dozens of people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

But the imperial army soon saw that among the disciples of various sects, some people immediately ducked to the side. These people actually held extremely simple shields in their hands, covering the side where the crossbow arrows were fired. In this way, although the crossbow arrows were still fired continuously,

In the past, the disciples of various sects took advantage of the cover and were already within easy reach of the Forbidden Army soldiers at the foot of the mountain.

The Forbidden Army is indeed the elite of the empire. When Han Feng deployed to block the disciples of various sects approaching the middle road, the Forbidden Army soldiers who were originally scattered everywhere quickly formed their formations in a short time under the command of the general. Although they could not do so in this short time

It was deployed as a copper wall and an iron wall, but there were still many forbidden troops consciously arrayed on both wings, carrying arrows and crossbows, and firing arrows continuously to prevent the enemy from approaching.

It's just that in the rush, unified mobilization was not possible, and most of the soldiers were still in a messy state. However, disciples of various sects had made preparations in advance and made simple shields. These shields may not have much effect on the battlefield.

effect, but in this formation, it is enough for everyone on both wings to cut into the Forbidden Army formation under the cover of shields.

Han Feng's face turned pale.

The Imperial Guards who were caught in the sea of ​​​​fire on the mountain kept screaming in agony, and people from various sects also stabbed into the Imperial Guards' formation as if they had a dagger on the left and right.

The hand-to-hand encounter that the army least expected to happen was ultimately achieved under the opponent's planning.

The equipment of the Forbidden Army is excellent. Under individual combat, most of the Forbidden Army can kill ordinary disciples of various sects. However, there are many masters among the various sects. The left wing, led by the two envoys of the Sun and Moon Alliance, rushes into the enemy's formation.

After that, his figure was like a charm, and in the blink of an eye, he had killed several soldiers.

Tang Jingyi, Tianfeng Taoist, Sun Shentong and other masters from various sects were like tigers entering a flock of sheep after they killed the enemy.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were incidents where officers and soldiers killed sects. There were some sects that participated in rebellions, or they bullied men and women in local areas and angered the court. In anger, the court sent troops to kill them.

In reality, strength naturally occupies an overwhelming advantage, and often completely wipes out these sects.

But it has almost never happened before that a group of Imperial Guards from the Tang Dynasty were fighting with Jianghu sects like today.

Han Feng naturally understood that if these gangsters were allowed to win and even return to their respective sects unharmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

These sects will soon find out that the mastermind who instigated the imperial army to encircle and suppress the various sects is Tantai Xuanye, so they will inevitably form a life-and-death feud with Tantai Xuanye.

Perhaps any one of these sects that becomes an enemy of Tantai Xuanye will only end up with the sect destroyed, but dozens of sects will hate Tantai Xuanye, and this power will become extremely terrifying.

Among the various sects, some are powerful, and some are even members of local aristocratic families. Each sect has more or less connections. The network of connections formed by dozens of sects is naturally extremely terrifying, and these forces are all based on Tantai.

With Xuan Ye as his enemy, Han Feng really didn't know how long Tantai Xuan Ye could survive.

However, he knew that his command of this operation would soon be known to various factions.

Jianghu people pay attention to gratification, repaying kindness with kindness, and taking revenge with hatred. If you participate in commanding this operation, you will be the first to become the target of various sects. If you cannot win today and wipe out all these sects, then you can only wait for yourself.
