Chapter 264 Competing for time with life and death
(I am very, very grateful to my old brother ‘Book Friend 18672397’ for his huge support of 100,000 coins, and congratulations to him for becoming the first gold leader of this book.)
Because of Wang Junlin's ingenious arrangement, before the Turks could rush up the hillside from the valley, a thick line of fire had completely blocked them, perfectly separating Wang Junlin and his party from the Turks in all directions.
Now, Wang Junlin and his group of more than 3,000 people only need to crawl in the cave, cover their mouths and noses with wet wipes, and watch the Turks being burned to death one by one.
However, at this time, the Turks had not yet begun to die in large numbers, so everyone on Wang Junlin's side was leisurely watching the speed competition between the Turks and Wild Fire.
This fire changed everyone's understanding of wildfires except Wang Junlin. Until now, they thought that wildfires would not burn very fast, but now they finally saw that, driven by the north wind, the wildfires were advancing.
The speed is not much slower than that of a galloping war horse, especially those sparks blowing in the wind. Wherever they fall, they will burn quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they will change the escape route that the Turks had planned earlier.
If you want to survive such a natural disaster, the only thing you can rely on is speed. In fact, under the threat of death, the Turks and war horses unleashed their greatest potential, running at a speed never seen before in their lives, even faster than the spread of fire.
Much faster, but the problem is that no matter where they go, the fire is spreading. This is like the cavalry, no matter how fast they are, but they are surrounded from all sides by infantry that is ten times or even dozens of times their size. No matter how fast they are, they can't rush forward.
Get out of the encirclement.
The screams of the Turks kept coming. Shangguan Hu, Niu Jinda, Yu Zimo, Li Congrui, Xu Jingzong and others looked at Wang Junlin who did not feel any discomfort without using wet wipes to block his mouth and nose. They all regarded the latter as a god.
Looking at it like a human being, Niu Jinda was so impressed that he just took out the wet wipe and tried it, and he almost choked to death.
However, Wang Junlin did not notice their expressions at this time. He helped the blood-maned horse cover his mouth and nose with a wet towel with one hand, and remained silent. He just looked at the hell on earth in the wild donkey ditch below, not knowing what he was thinking.
The smoke from the burning fire enveloped the entire Yelugou. The sun that was about to set appeared weak in front of the smoke and could only hang faintly on the top of the mountain. In another half an hour, the sun would completely set.
And this war finally came to an end. Wang Junlin knew that another war would not begin until the Turks were almost dead. He had already vaguely guessed that Li Fengyun and Yu Zhongwen might also use fire attacks.
Some are worried that the isolation belt behind the hillside is not wide enough. What he is most worried about is whether the lynx Maomao can escape before the fire closes the mountain, or escape here.
…
…
After stumbling forward for two miles, Maomao the lynx and a group of wild beasts finally discovered in despair that a wall of fire was rolling toward the east from both directions of west and north.
If the fire Wang Junlin set off earlier was just movie smoke, then the fire sweeping from these four directions is definitely a real ecological disaster.
Countless wild beasts were running desperately, and some female beasts even abandoned their cubs and ran away.
The wolves are running away with the gazelle, lynx, lynx, elk, fox, wild donkey, and wild horse. At this time, the hungry wolf can capture the prey by just opening its mouth. At this time, it obviously has no desire to hunt and just wants to
Hurry up and escape from this scary place.
Before Wang Junlin set the fire, he specially asked people to drive away the wild animals in Yelugou, and at the same time, he cleared the isolation zone with the surrounding areas. Therefore, the fire he set was limited to the Yelugou, but the fire set by Li Fengyun and Yu Zhongwen
It's different. This is an apocalyptic disaster for all life within a radius of dozens of miles.
In order to burn Wang Junlin to death and seal off all directions for his escape, Li Fengyun sent thousands of people to set fires from all directions, and the area affected was so vast that Wang Junlin had no possibility of escape.
The lynx Maomao was trained with secret methods by Wang Junlin. The effect of using expensive secret recipe liquid to train his muscles and bones every day for three months finally emerged at this time. Especially under the pressure of life and death crisis, Maomao also had the same potential.
The explosion broke through the original speed and physique, and took advantage of this life-and-death opportunity to complete a quantitative change to a qualitative change.
As a result, its speed became faster and faster, and in the end it was much faster than other beasts. Finally, before the fire blocked the way out, it ran to the Wild Donkey Valley and came to the cave where Wang Junlin was hiding.
Wang Junlin, the blood-maned horse and Maomao made a cry of surprise at the same time. Wang Junlin quickly tied the wet wipes prepared in advance to Maomao's mouth and nose, and then he got out of the cave to investigate the situation.
What he was looking at was not whether all the Turks had been burned to death, but the situation on the back of the hillside where he was. At this look, Wang Junlin's face changed drastically, he mobilized the energy in his Dantian, and shouted loudly: "So people
Leave the cave and clear the weeds and shrubs on the back of the mountain, you must be quick! Otherwise we will also be burned to death."
The sound was clearly transmitted into every cave, and everyone rushed out with wet wipes tied to their mouths and noses.
Wang Junlin was frightened by the scene in front of him. Fires were burning in all directions in Yelugou, and these fires were spreading towards Yelugou. From where he stood, it seemed as if the whole world was on fire.
This is a purgatory made of fire, where the Turks are trained inside and Wang Junlin and his party are trained outside.
At this time, Wang Junlin had no intention of cursing Li Fengyun and Yu Zhongwen for their cruelty and madness. He just wanted to seize the time to seek a chance to survive for the more than 3,000 people under his command.
"The scope must be large, it must be large, otherwise the air in a small area will be drained when the fire burns!" This is what Wang Junlin is most worried about. He is frantically mowing the grass with the priceless Dragon Bird Sword.
Bush, shouting at the top of his lungs.
More than 3,000 people immediately began to follow Wang Junlin, Yu Zimo, Shangguan Hu, Li Congrui and others to compete for time with the approaching fire.
After the sun goes down, it should get cold in the mountains. At the end of October, the Qilian Mountains should have been frosty at night... But today is different. The world tonight is like an oven.
Black dust fell like snowflakes, but no one paid attention to it. The clothes soaked with sweat were dried by wildfire in an instant.
All the liquid was poured on the body, but it was still unable to resist the scorching fire...
In the face of the fire, everyone in Wang Junlin's group worked desperately, but at the same time they were retreating steadily. They had to stop only when they retreated into the newly burned land.
Wang Junlin took off his entire shirt, wetted it with water, and wrapped it around the blood-maned horse's head. The horse's nostrils were relatively large, making it easy to inhale dust into its lungs.
