When a fire spreads in the forest, it must rely on wind to support combustion to ensure that there is enough oxygen to burn. Therefore, although the fire spreads quickly, it actually does not burn fully.
But when we reached the edge of the canyon, the space suddenly opened up. The canyon was originally a channel for mountain airflow. This time, it was like a furious beast, rushing out. The tongue of fire spurted out, forming a fire curtain and fire tornado that were several feet high, crowding the crowd.
The Garo soldiers on the mountain path in the canyon were swallowed up in one fell swoop.
In just an instant, hundreds of soldiers were killed and burned by the fire. The soldiers screamed in horror and retreated one after another. The crowd was chaotic and pushed each other. Suddenly some people fell to the ground and were trampled, and more than a dozen people were squeezed from the road by the frightened crowd.
The other side fell into a deep stream.
Although there is water flowing in the deep stream, the drop is several feet high. The walls of the stream are jagged with rocks and covered with thorns. The person who fell down bounced on the rocks like a rag doll, passed through the thorn bushes and fell into the water. The fall resulted in broken tendons and fractures, as well as brain damage.
burst.
The team of King Jia Luo and his son were a hundred steps away from the fire dragon, but they still felt the heat wave hitting their faces and the burning pain on their skin. Dozens of soldiers were on fire, struggling and screaming in the fire.
When the sight of a large number of soldiers being burned, covering their faces, shouting and running for their lives came into view, King Krishna was stunned and speechless for a moment.
"Father, father, what should I do? What should I do?" Prince Guanghui shouted in horror.
Nehru's shouting woke Krishna up. He looked at the fire curtain in front of him, which had actually blocked the way. Thick smoke was billowing around him. Not far away, a large amount of smoke came from the cliffs and mountains.
The fire was billowing out, and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. Krishna knew that soon a new fire would break out. Soon the entire area would be completely engulfed in fire.
"Send the order, the army will retreat eastward, and the rear troops will move forward. Hurry." Krishna shouted.
In fact, without giving an order, the Garo soldiers had already started to turn around and run to the east. Although it is extremely unwise to run in the direction of the spread of the fire, this is the only way to go at this moment. The west side is blocked by fireworks and cannot be passed.
To the south is a deep canyon that cannot be crossed, so we have no choice but to go east.
Krishna and others turned and evacuated eastward.
As several fire points broke through behind him, smoke and fire filled a large area of the canyon road. At this critical moment of life and death, the despicability of human nature was clearly visible.
Nehru couldn't care about anything. He ordered his guards to rush forward with swords in hand. Anyone who was in the way or slow would be kicked over at least, or hacked to death with swords. If they did this, the soldiers under him would also
The same is true. The soldiers who ran fast pushed and pulled the soldiers who were running slowly who were blocking the road, and even pushed them into the deep stream.
The cries for help of the soldiers who were burned by the fire were ignored and no one took care of them at all. Many desperate soldiers chose to jump into the deep stream with their eyes closed. They might fall to death, or they might jump into the water to save their lives.
It's better than being burned to death on the mountain trail.
The entire mountain road to the east of the cliff has become like a purgatory on earth. A large number of soldiers were burned to death, a large number of people were fainted by the burning, and a large number of soldiers were fainted by the smoke. These people will all die.
Krishna was surrounded by guards and rushed eastward. Looking back at the scene of the fire and smoke on the mountain road behind him devouring a large number of soldiers and horses, Krishna's heart was bleeding. Who could have imagined that in just over an hour, Krishna
, it has only been dark for more than an hour now, and everything has turned out like this, which is simply unbelievable.
In his mind, he suddenly remembered what Zhang Yanling said before.
"Are you sure you are ready to accept the consequences of being our enemy?"
"You will pay the price for your decision."
"This is your last chance..."
At that time, he thought that this was the crazy talk of the Duke of Ming Dynasty, and even thought that his arrogance was extremely ridiculous. But now, Krishna knew that he was the one who was ridiculous. The other party had actually been prepared for it. What was ridiculous was that he thought
The winning ticket is within your grasp.
Regret not using thunderous means to kill the opponent? Giving the opponent a chance? Krishna thought about this problem quickly, and he came to a conclusion that surprised himself.
The other party had already been prepared and had a premonition. In fact, he was the one who should be lucky. In the city of Delhi, Zhang Yanling could have launched a sudden attack. With the firepower of his soldiers and the terrifying firearms he had, he was surrounded by more than two hundred people.
People are invincible. He clearly knew that he was going to be disadvantageous to him, but he still didn't strike first. It meant that he gave himself a chance and didn't want to completely show his face and become hostile. Unfortunately, he didn't notice it and thought everything was wrong.
It's all under control.
To a certain extent, the disaster in front of them was a counterattack forced by them.
Thinking of this, Krishna suddenly felt very depressed.
The soldiers quickly fled the fire to the east, which was also the journey deeper into the Delhi Canyon of the Eastern Ghats. The fire spread behind them, and thick smoke poured down the canyon. The entire canyon seemed to be shrouded in smoke. The torch they held was in the air.
There was no lighting at all in the smoke, which caused people around to fall down and scream in panic.
"Father, after passing the mountain pass in front, you will reach the mountain lake. There is a road to the north that can bypass another canyon passage twenty miles away to the north. From there, we can turn around and go to Mandu City." Nehru gasped and said,
His expression was also very depressed. He had never expected that things would turn out like this.
Krishna said nothing. He suddenly remembered something.
"Where did those Ming Dynasty people go? After they flew down from the cliff, they went east along the canyon. It was in the direction of our travel. Where did they go?"
"Father, what do you care about them now? They should have escaped long ago." Nehru said.
"Impossible. They set this fire. Why did they only set fires in the forest in the northwest? They could have set another fire in the east, and then the forest fire would cut off the roads in front and behind us, trapping us all in the middle.
." gasped Krishna.
"Father, do you still want them to do this? Don't you still feel sorry for them?" Nehru complained with great dissatisfaction.
Krishna frowned and said: "Of course not, I only thought of this based on the battle strategy. How could the Ming Dynasty Duke be so cunning, how could he not think of this? How could he give up this excellent opportunity?"
Nehru almost exploded. Normally he would not dare to contradict his father, but today he was angry. If his father had not been indecisive, refused to act decisively, and still had illusions about the enemy, how could he be here?
Walking in the fields, I followed myself and took action halfway. My father
If you have to say something to trap them, negotiate with them, and force them to agree to evacuate and return the port, it is the best policy. The Ming Empire will have no reason to retaliate in the future. Now at this time, he is still saying these things.
If you are angry, you will think of a plan for the other person.
Nehru opened his mouth and was about to say some nasty words to retort. Suddenly, there was a huge roar in the smoke ahead. This was the roar of firearms. The sound of firearms at this moment made people feel like they had heard bad news.
General shock and horror.
Krishna stood there in a daze for a moment, sighing secretly in his heart. This was what he was worried about just now. The other party could not have made such a mistake. They did not set fire in the east forest because they had firearms and could guard the front.
Intersection. Stop your troops from advancing.
"What happened? What happened? I am Nehru, who can tell me?" Nehru shouted angrily, his voice full of fear.
In the smoke, figures swayed. The roar of firearms made everything chaotic. But someone still heard Nehru's cry and reported the news to him.
"The road ahead was blocked by the Ming army with big trees, and they shot at us with firearms. We couldn't get through."
Nehru yelled: "Come over, rush over. Everyone obey the order and rush over at all costs."
The soldiers in the smoke coughed and moved reluctantly. The sound of roaring firearms was dense and loud, and shrill screams came from the invisible front. It seemed that there were monsters in the smoke waiting to eat people, and anyone who came close would be attacked.
Will be devoured. Those shrill screams made the Jia Luo soldiers not only not rush forward, but began to retreat.
The opponent has set up roadblocks at a narrow intersection and has powerful firearms. If you rush over, you will definitely be dead. Although the fire has spread, at least it is safe for now. No one wants to fight desperately, unless it is at the last moment. If you want to rush, you still have to fight.
Someone else has done it.
The Garo people are never willing to sacrifice for others, they don't understand what collective spirit is, and they have no long-term vision. They only have inexplicable self-confidence, always thinking that they will be lucky in misfortune and will not be the unlucky ones who die here.
"What are you doing standing still? Kill, kill!" Nehru roared loudly.
Krishna sighed deeply and said: "Nehru, let someone go to the front and say that I want to talk to Mr. Zhang. We have important matters to discuss. I will go alone to discuss with them and ask them to stop shooting and give permission.
I'll go over there."
Nehru was stunned: "Father, you can't go, it will be dangerous. Besides, what else is there to say to them?"
Krishna said solemnly: "Nehru, the fire will come over soon. We have no choice. I don't want everyone to die here, so I can only agree to their conditions. This is what they want
Apart from that, there is no other way. The people of the Ming Dynasty cannot be offended. I think that our Jialuo Kingdom may have to accept the reality, accept their existence, and accept everything they want to do in our Jialuo Kingdom."
Nehru shook his head and shouted: "Father, you cannot agree to them, otherwise your life will be ruined. Those people in the court will be dissatisfied with you and attack you."
Krishna sighed: "I can't care less. Nehru, listen, this matter is my decision, they will be dissatisfied with me. After returning to Victory City, I will pass on you to respond to their attack
.And you can safely ascend the throne. Nehru, from now on, the Kharto Kingdom will be handed over to you. You have a bad temper.
, considering the matter is too radical, I am not at ease, but you just need to remember, don't mess with the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Duke, and everything will be easy to handle. Don't worry, I will try my best to put forward conditions to them.
I hope their appetite is not so big, and I hope Mr. Zhang is not a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones."
Nehru stood blankly, watching his father slowly walking forward. His mood was complicated, and he didn't know whether to be happy or angry. He opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.
