The surging mountain torrent brought with it huge rocks, earth and trees, forming a terrifying torrent of mud. It was like a huge earth dragon pouring down from the upper stream, instantly overwhelming and engulfing the Sui Gong convoy.
Whether it was people, cars, or horses, they were as weak as ants in the water of a large river in the mudslide seven to eight feet high. They had no resistance at all and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
boom--
The river gorge and the valley are in the shape of a cross. The mountain torrents have nowhere to vent in a short period of time, and instead flow into the valleys, overwhelming the sky and the earth.
"Turn around——"
The veins on Xingmin's neck bulged and he roared.
Wen Wu looked ahead. The convoys a hundred feet away were in chaos. Most of them had no time to escape and were swallowed up by the rushing mud flow in the blink of an eye. More cars, horses and people fled back for their lives, but how could they escape the flash flood?
The roar of the torrent, the screams and cries of people, the neighing of horses... the scene in front of me was like a hell on earth.
"Bah—"
Horses are human beings, and seeing the natural disaster in front of them, they fought harder than humans and turned around in panic. The coachman came to his senses and reined in the reins, but after making a sharp turn, one side of the carriage still tilted up. Wenwu and Xingmin reacted quickly, and there was no need to
Communicating, they moved to the raised side at the same time, and both of them used their strength to forcefully push down the car that was about to tip over.
"ah--"
Moli Moli screamed in surprise, but the horse was frightened and kicked around uncontrollably. She could have run away first, but because Xingmin was still on the carriage, she did not escape immediately. However, her mount didn't care about this.
, she held on to the reins tightly, but no matter how she tried to comfort her, she couldn't control it, and she panicked for a moment.
"Be careful yourself."
Xingmin shouted and jumped over.
Wen Wu calmed down and saw that he jumped behind Moli Moli and subdued the war horse twice, so he ignored him and looked up to the front. The mountain road when he came had been blocked by the collapsed rocks, and all the carriages and horses were blocked together.
.Many people abandoned their carriages and horses immediately and climbed to higher places with all their strength. After hearing this, their hearts skipped a beat.
But I wanted to remind him, but it was already too late. With a 'whoosh' sound, when the first arrow struck from a high place, death began. A rain of arrows filled the sky, pouring down from the mountains on both sides.
"ah--"
The screams one after another were drowned by the roar of the mountain torrents. The person who climbed the fastest died the fastest. The first one was shot and rolled down the hillside and fell into a pool. The valley was in chaos, especially
It was a rogue horse. It was already frightened and was affected by the arrows. It went completely crazy. It dragged people, and the cars collided and trampled them randomly, causing death and injury...
Everyone was stunned and felt dazed for a moment.
In this situation, no matter who it is, they will subconsciously have a sense of despair that "there is no way out and death is certain", so that they cannot think at all, let alone act.
The same goes for Xingmin. He finally got control of his horse, but he faced a dead end ahead, a flash flood was approaching from behind, and arrows were fired from both sides... Even though he was mentally determined, there was still nothing he could do.
Wen Wu, on the other hand, had no expression on his face. He waved his hand and deflected a stray arrow. Looking back, he shouted to Xingmin: "The mud stream is exhausted, but there is still room. The arrow rain is messy and the mob is in chaos. You command the construction."
Set up a defensive line, I'll go to the front and call for help." After that, he knelt down and said, "Master, please lend me your riding whip. Just drive forward, I'll keep you safe with my life!"
"Oh, oh oh——"
The groom looked like he was scared to death, but he just nodded repeatedly.
Xingmin was awakened by the words and turned to look back. Sure enough, the dam collapsed and the mountain torrent poured out, but the main stream was in the river gorge. Although it folded into the valley due to the sudden explosion, it did not continue and had already shown a decline.
Looking at the arrow rain again, as Wen Wu said, if you look carefully, you can see that there are only a few hundred in each wave, and they are disorganized, and the lethality is far less than imagined. In fact, when Xingmin rode forward, there were only one or two arrows occasionally.
The flying arrow may be a bit threatening to ordinary people, but not to mention martial arts practitioners, even those with agility can avoid it.
Xingmin was inspired. If it were an ordinary army, and a wave of arrows rained down by tens of thousands, at least half of the people in the valley would be killed or injured. How could there be a chance to react and despair? Thinking of this, he made a prompt decision and used all his weapons.
He spoke angrily, commanded his men, and reorganized their formation. At this moment, he didn't expect anyone else at all, he only believed in his own bodyguards.
"The person in front is the leader of Sishoufang Lishi!"
Wen Wu roared.
On the other side of the landslide, there were countless casualties, but Sishufang's convoy was not bad luck, and more than half of the carriages and horses were left. Fortunately, it was the hunters who had been fighting for many years. After the initial panic, under the leadership of the leader
Next, dozens of people had built a defensive line, forming a circle with vehicles and horses as obstacles, and successfully blocked most of the arrow rain offensive.
"Which one is it? Hey, you kid!"
Li Shi was deeply impressed by Wen Wu. At this moment, when he saw him standing on the carriage that was speeding by, lightly swinging his whip to shoot away arrows without any sign of panic, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Wen Wu shouted: "To make a long story short, the flash flood can't reach here, stick to the mountain and save people is the most important!"
Li Shi was anxiously worried that he would not be able to escape and be washed away by the mud flow. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and was surprised and delighted. He immediately roared in response: "That's easy to say! Let me make a way for you now!"
"Thank you!"
Wen Wu looked back and saw that Xingmin had gathered nearby manpower and was responding to the people escaping from the flash flood. The flash flood was blocked by a pile of mud, wood, rocks, vehicles and supplies, and finally stopped, less than a hundred feet away.
A lane opened in the front line, and the carriage rushed in. The coachman hurriedly used all his strength to rein in the reins, and finally stopped before hitting the falling rocks. It was good luck, and the valley was blocked in the middle.
Although the fallen debris blocked the way, it also formed a small obstacle that barely blocked some stray arrows.
"Master, please hide in the car for a while. Please take care of the mother and son inside."
"Okay, okay, little one, tie the horse up first to prevent it from running around..."
"Then I'll bother you."
Wen Wu was a little surprised and took another look at the groom. However, the situation was urgent and he had no time to say anything more. He turned around and looked back. There were only thirty or forty people from Sishoufang left, and they were all in front.
Some were holding shields, some were holding wooden boards, and there were pots and pans... In short, I took whatever I could block, and I could barely hold on.
Li Shi was a bachelor, unprepared for anything, and stood at the front shirtless. What he held in his hand was the bloody sword, and the sparse arrows could not get close to him.
I just said I didn't plan to send it away.
Wen Wu muttered, and was about to step forward when he suddenly heard a burst of fanatical shouting, which shook the valley. When he heard the sound and looked around, he saw hundreds of people appearing from high places on both sides of the valley.
"Good luck."
Wen Wu narrowed his eyes.
Most of these people were dressed as hunters, and most of them carried hunter equipment, including bows, crossbows, swords, spears, forks, axes and hammers... They had everything, and they looked like a temporary army put together by local hunters.
"Kill--"
"Robbing money, robbing women——"
"Kill all the men——"
…
The valley was in a mess, and the people who had just escaped death were terrified. On the valley, hundreds of people were like a pack of hungry wolves, with red eyes, howling, and swarmed down.
