After all, it was a sea of fire. Although there was cowhide on his body, the high temperature brought by the flames was not something that cowhide could cut off.
Slowly, someone began to suffocate and fell to the ground silently.
Some were because the temperature was too high, causing them to be burned all over and unable to react.
Just like boiling a frog in warm water, the sea of fire should obviously be more terrifying.
In addition... due to the burning of dry trees, the higher you walk in the mountains and forests, the thicker the billowing smoke becomes and the more breathless it becomes.
Most of the soldiers' armors were protective uniforms. How could they also cover their mouths and noses?
Of course, there is a situation where people may be able to survive in such billowing smoke, but this technology is still exclusive to Ujian Villa.
People fell down one after another, but Wei Yan still couldn't lose his fighting spirit.
Finally...after enduring the pain for who knows how long, the smoke cleared in front of everyone——
"Everyone, we are here..."
There is a small clearing on the top of the mountain. Although it is still rugged, there is not much smoke and dust because there is no forest to cover it...
And there is a cliff nearby... With this 60-70 degree inclination and the rugged stone wall, it is impossible to get down from here without a lot of effort.
Wei Yan's face was very pale. As he advanced, he tore off a piece of cloth on his body and bandaged it briefly. But when he saw the cliff, he still gritted his teeth.
"Get ready to go down the mountain..."
Wei Yan didn't say anything. He looked back at the army that had been reduced by half... Everyone was exhausted to the extreme, and the flesh on many people's bodies was split open. If they just walked through the sea of fire, no one was injured.
That must be a dream talk.
But... they still have half the manpower, so everything is still uncertain.
"General... let us go first?"
The deputy general behind him was worried about Wei Yan's injuries and wanted to be the first to go down the mountain, but Wei Yan rejected him directly.
"How can a general command an army if he dares not take the lead?"
Wei Yan snorted coldly... The forest behind him was still burning. Against the backdrop of the fire, a wing of fire seemed to spread out from behind Wei Yan——
The feathers of the phoenix have been attached to the body at this moment, and the strategy carrying Feng Chu's will must be completed by Wei Yan.
tread--
Wei Yan rolled up the cowhide, arranged his armor, and rolled directly down the mountain along the slightly wider slope.
In the eyes of everyone, Wei Yan curled up into a ball, and as he rolled down, his speed became faster and faster... The smoke and dust raised showed his speed.
With the general clearing the way, the remaining people really have no reason to be afraid.
Soon...one by one, everyone rolled down the cliff. They were wrapped in cowhide and didn't think about life or death at all, they just wanted to get to that place.
However... the reason why Shiyin Mountain was used as a barrier by Poyang is also obvious.
There were many unfortunate people... They failed to control the direction, deviated slightly from the vague path, and fell directly on the sharp rocks.
Some people fell to death on the spot, while others only had some broken bones...
But more often than not, he screamed and continued to roll down.
This is the reason why Fei Zhan admires Wei Yan and the others so much.
——
For Poyang, this day may be just an ordinary day for thousands of years, but... history will still remember this day.
Because for the tens of thousands of people fighting in Poyang today, whether they win or lose, they are enough to write a trace in history.
The sky gradually darkened.
The battle lasted from morning until nearly evening.
The mountain fire spread to the distance. Fortunately, Poyang was surrounded by water, and Shiyin Mountain was relatively independent. The fire gradually extinguished when it reached the foot of the mountain... The bare mountain forest showed a tragic secret battle that was completely different from the heroic frontal battlefield.
But...for Wei Yan, this is just a matter of a moment...
When we reached the bottom of the mountain, the slope had eased a lot. Wei Yan's speed did not slow down, but he also grasped the specific direction——
Thanks to the hard armor on his body, although it slowed him down to a certain extent, it at least saved his life.
Finally...his speed slowed down, and the touch from his body told him that he had landed.
Wei Yan got out of the torn cowhide. Before he could stand up, the blood wrapped in the cowhide soaked the surrounding land...
Now Wei Yan is a bloody man... The injury on his shoulder was so severe that the bandage was soaked through, and the blood from more injuries dyed his armor red.
Wei Yan's lips turned purple. Even after he escaped from the mountain fire, his body temperature continued to drop.
Under such circumstances, Wei Yan stood up unsteadily, turned his head, and faced the cliff.
one...two...
It was the soldiers rolling down, but also the corpses rolling down.
Life and death are like child's play on this blood-stained path.
All decisions are made only by destiny.
I don’t know how long it took, but when I heard the mourners everywhere and saw the stumps all over the ground... it was hard to imagine that this was originally an iron-blooded army.
"Commanders...obey orders..."
Wei Yan gasped, but still uttered his most professional words.
"Poyang City is right in front of you... follow... follow my general to attack the city!"
Boo hoo hoo——
The sudden flying arrows made everything seem so dreamy.
Wei Yan was not hit by the arrow, but those who fell were the soldiers in front of him who had just stood up.
Boo hoo hoo hoo——
Wei Yan suddenly felt that everything he did was a bit ridiculous.
The arrows coming from behind were like locusts. The remaining warriors in his eyes had withstood the baptism of the cliff, but they could not withstand this round of ordinary rain of arrows.
Wei Yan... doesn't want to look back.
Because just by listening to the footsteps, he already knew that this dream was about to end.
"Put down your weapons! You have already lost!"
What made Wei Yan feel most ridiculous was probably this sentence.
Because this sound is extremely strange, it doesn’t sound like someone from Shanyue, but like...
——
Fei Zhan and others had already exhausted their energy, so it still took more time than expected to get out of the deep gorge, which was somewhat detoured.
They thought that Wei Yan and others were already attacking the city at this moment, but when they detoured out of the deep stream and came to the back of Poyang City at full speed...the scene they saw left them speechless for a moment.
Wei Yan was standing alone in the distance at this moment. He was covered in blood and raised his head, as if he was laughing at himself.
And the darkness behind him...
They were nearly 10,000 Poyang defenders.
Wei Yan lost, barely defeating Fei Zhan and others who fought for their lives, but lost to the Poyang defenders who miraculously appeared here in the end.
This just means one more thing…
Da da da da——
There was the sound of horse hooves, smoke and dust were rising around the corner of the city, and cavalry could be seen approaching.
…
Finally, He Qi came to the field. Everyone saw his broken left arm, but everyone also saw the bound and disheveled Confucian scholar to his right.
"military adviser……"
Wei Yan, who had persisted for who knows how long, turned his head. The moment he saw Pang Tong, he had exhausted all his strength.
Plop…
"I can't help you!"
"Feel sorry…"
The two apologized to each other in unison. This scene was really embarrassing.
