The lantern fell.
Didn't land.
The lantern suddenly went out.
It was Yan Jidao who took action.
He knew that he had been discovered by the enemy, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Just as Xia Hua issued that warning, a thundering sound of war drums suddenly sounded on the slope east of Wuya Pass!
Xia Li, the general of Zhenbei who was patrolling the pass above the pass, heard Xia Hua's voice and the sound of war drums below the pass.
East and west?
There were only 70,000 to 80,000 people in the Red Flame Army. How could Wu Mian be so stupid and divide his troops into two groups to attack?
Xia Li only hesitated for a moment before giving orders to his two generals——
"General Ma!"
"The general is here!"
"This general orders you to personally guard the east wall! Don't let the enemy's fireworks fall on the wall!"
"The last general takes command!"
"General Zhao!"
"The general is here!"
"This general orders you to guard the wall here and be careful of enemy sneak attacks!"
"The last general takes command!"
The two went their separate ways.
Xia Li pondered for a moment, then led his bodyguard towards the east wall.
There are many soldiers on the wall, and they also have their own commanders.
After Xia Hua issued the warning, the commander on the east wall issued the order to attack!
"shoot……!"
Countless arrow feathers were shot into the dark night.
The Seven Swords spread out.
They threw many torches.
Although Yan Jidao is a great master, he does not have three heads and six arms after all.
The range of the Seven Swords of Tianshan thrown was extremely large, and he simply could not extinguish all those torches.
Thus, they were exposed to the faint light of the torch.
The torches fell on the forest meadow.
After a while, some dry grass started to burn.
After a while, the fire gradually grew stronger.
The more than a hundred soldiers who were skilled in martial arts holding fireworks were dumbfounded.
The enemy's arrows on the wall have a target and are accurate.
Someone was hit by an arrow.
More and more people were struck by arrows.
Yan Jidao wildly waved his cloud-turning hand in the arrow feathers. After all, he was unable to turn the clouds and rain, and even he himself was hit by an arrow in the leg.
Yan Zifu, who was slightly behind them, took a look and realized that his father was dying!
His mother is dead. Although this father has been extremely indifferent to him since he was a child, in his heart, he still worships this father!
After all, he is the great master of Ningguo!
He is his father after all!
Yan Zifu didn't think much, he yelled: "Everyone, follow my general and charge...!"
Before he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "General Yan, the general has orders... to retreat!"
Yan Zifu's tiger eyes glared, "Retreat? My father is going to die!"
"General Yan, this is an order!"
Yan Zifu turned around and looked at the blazing fire. Looking at Yan Jidao's figure in the rain of arrows like locusts, he tightened his fists and finally lowered his unruly head.
He suddenly shouted at his subordinates again: "Ma Yun...!"
"The general is here!"
"You, lead the army back to camp!"
The general named Ma Yun was stunned when he heard this, "Where are you, General Yan?"
"This is the order I gave you from the general!"
"...I will obey your orders!"
Ma Yun led 20,000 soldiers to leave the battlefield and head toward the camp.
Yan Zifu raised the gun in his hand and rushed towards Yan Jidao like a cheetah.
…
…
Outside the commander's tent in the Red Flame Army.
Wu Mian closed his eyes silently.
Yan Jinong looked at him deeply and asked: "They were supposed to die, why were they summoned back?"
Wu Mian opened his eyes, "If you die, you must die well."
"There is no point in dying like a moth going to the fire."
"If the Red Flame Army is destroyed like this, Xia Li's army will arrive at Jade Pill City tomorrow!"
Yan Jinong pondered for a moment, "Since this plan failed, Xia Li will strengthen his defenses... That will be a stalemate!"
At this moment, a subordinate general hurriedly came to Wu Mian.
He bowed his hands and said, "General, we have captured two people."
Wu Mian frowned: "An enemy spy?"
"Probably not, he said...he has a way to break the barrier!"
Wu Mian was slightly startled, then hesitated and said, "Bring him over."
Naturally, it was Qin Rigang and his wife who came.
Wu Mian looked at them and pointed to the wall under the firelight, "If you don't have a good way to break through the barrier, I, the general, will chop off your heads!"
Qin Rigang did not salute. He looked at Wu Mian and asked, "Are you the General Wu Mian?"
"Well, tell me!"
"If it is really a good idea, I will definitely give you a heavy reward from this great general!"
Qin Rigang took out the stack of paper from his arms and handed it over: "It's not that I have any good ideas, but my young master said that I would give you this thing. You will understand after reading it."
Wu Mian took it suspiciously, "Who is your young master?"
"My young master is Xiao Li Feidao Li Xiaofeng!"
Wu Mian was stunned, a man from the world?
A nobody I've never heard of!
He was a little angry.
The war was going badly, and if he failed to steal the chicken tonight, he would lose the rice. He had already lost his original patience.
If the person offering advice is a famous official, he will have some hope.
This is an unknown person in the world...
He glared at Qin Rigang fiercely, and still had the last bit of patience to unfold the stack of papers. In Yan Jinong's sight, his brows suddenly frowned——
There is a line written on the first piece of paper:
Instructions for the manufacture and use of catapults.
He turned to the second page, and for a moment, he was shocked.
On this page is a picture of a so-called catapult, and below it is about its role in battle.
Its biggest function is to throw stones from a long distance...
Since you can throw stones, you can naturally throw fireworks!
Wu Mian quickly flipped through the rest of the paper. He did not look at it carefully, but looked at Yan Jinong:
"Order everyone to withdraw!"
Yan Jinong did not ask why. He gave an order, and a rapid sound of gongs sounded from the Chinese army, indicating that the troops were withdrawing.
The hundreds of soldiers led by Yan Jidao in the east were within the range of the enemy's arrows. Although they heard the gong, they could never go back.
They fell into a pool of blood one after another.
Yan Jidao was hit by two arrows!
Although it was not fatal, it caused him to bleed a lot.
He already knew that nothing could be done.
He was about to leave the battlefield, but unexpectedly Yan Zifu had already arrived with a gun.
"Dad...here come help you, kid!"
That sound made Yan Jidao's heart tremble. As soon as he hesitated, he was hit by another arrow in his calf.
"go back!"
Yan Jidao grabbed a handful of arrows and threw them at the wall. He turned around and saw Yan Zifu flying over.
This is not his son!
For this nominal son, he never cared about his life or death!
Even in his heart, this is the huge shame of his life!
When Xi Wei asked him how to deal with Yan Zifu, although he didn't answer, he had already made up his mind.
But now, this son who doesn't know the truth is here for him regardless of life and death...
Yan Jidao's heart of stone trembled slightly at this moment.
It was his mother who was at fault.
He is innocent.
He is only sixteen years old!
Even if he led the Red Flame Army to rebel, he was still under the bewitchment of his aunt.
But it was difficult for him to overcome the hurdle in his heart.
To save him or not to save him?
"Dad, be careful!"
"Clang clang clang...!"
The gun in Yan Zifu's hand stirred up the flowers, scattering the feathers of the arrows that were shot again.
"Dad, let's go, baby, please take the throne!"
On top of the wall.
Qiu Feng, the third senior brother of the Seven Swordsmen in the Sky, has already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow.
He targeted Yan Zifu!
