More than an hour later, the Red Flame Army cleared the mountains and built bridges all the way to the Black Mountain Village.
Black Mountain is a rare high mountain nearby and can be seen from a distance.
Zhou Yulang looked at the mountain shadow in the distance and compared it with a sheepskin map in his hand. He knew that it was Heishan. The people living in the village on the mountain were the Heishan tribe, the largest tribe within a radius of thirty miles.
The Yue people are extremely xenophobic, and it is difficult for the Chu people to sneak in, let alone draw a map.
This map was not easy to obtain. He spent his own money to form a caravan to trade with various tribes, and sold them the broken promises and iron tools that they were in short supply at a reasonable price. After losing millions of taels of silver notes and many manpower, this map was slowly drawn.
At this time, the white-haired young man next to him said: "Brother, Wujiazhai was burned by fire before. It can be seen from a long distance. The master of the Black Mountain Cave must have known our whereabouts. The opponent has a large number of people and the soldiers are well-trained." Su, not comparable to the hunters in Wujiazhai, may take the initiative and ambush on the road."
The speaker was Zhou Bin, Zhou Yulang's second younger brother, who had mid-level innate cultivation and was versatile in both civil and military affairs. The so-called road refers to the mountain trail that originally existed. The Red Flame Army also cut through thorns along this mountain trail to facilitate the advance of the army.
Zhou Yulang nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Yes, the woods here are dense. If I were the master of the Black Mountain Cave, I would not miss this opportunity. They only need to hide on both sides of the mountain road and use superior forces from behind us, from the left and right. Suddenly bursting out and caught off guard, the Red Flame Army is likely to be defeated in one attack. Therefore, we have to divide our troops into two groups. Second brother, you pretend to be me and lead two thousand people to clear the way in front to attract attention. . Lieutenant General Sun and I sneaked quietly through the woods on both sides with a thousand people."
Zhou Bin nodded in agreement, quickly put on makeup, covered up his white hair with a helmet, and pretended to be Zhou Yulang.
…
Half an hour later, in the dense forest on the right.
Zhou Yulang quietly advanced with a thousand people.
After a while, the scouting soldiers from the front hurriedly returned and said: "General, an ambush was discovered ahead."
Zhou Yulang looked happy and said: "Leave some people behind and prepare to light the fire with kerosene. The others followed me around behind them and lit the fire with kerosene from three sides at the same time from the outside."
The woods are dense and it will be difficult to extinguish the fire once it gets started. These barbarians must flee to the narrow mountain road in the middle. At that time, his second brother Zhou Bin could be easily shot with rockets, and those who were not shot to death would also be burned to death. While he was guarding the narrow mountain road on the other side, even if he couldn't completely annihilate the enemy, he could still completely cripple them.
At the same time, in the dense forest on the left. Vice General Sun also discovered the soldiers from Heishan and other tribes, quietly walked around behind them, and when the time came, he immediately used kerosene to light a fire at the same time.
After a while, there was a forest on the right side of the road in front of the Red Flame Army.
The Black Mountain Cave Master and more than 3,000 people were lying in the dense weeds.
A strong, red-faced man crushed an insect that had climbed to his head and said with an impatient expression: "Master of the Black Mountain Cave, why haven't the Chu troops arrived yet? Don't lie to us!"
The Heishan Cave Master glared at him and said: "Nanshan Cave Master, didn't you see the fire? Thousands of people in Wujiazhai died, and not a single woman or child survived. What's the benefit of me lying to you?"
After hearing this, the Nanshan Cave Master had no choice but to suppress the itching on his body and wait.
After a while, a scout soldier returned on his knees and said: "Lord Cave Master, I saw it, they will be here soon!"
The Black Mountain Cave Master looked delighted and said, "Okay, everyone, get ready. When they get close, attack from behind and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
However, they waited for a while, but still did not see the Chu army passing by.
The Black Mountain Cave Master suddenly felt something bad, his suspicions had been exposed, and he was about to prepare for a strong attack.
At this time, suddenly there was a fire in the distance, and it was a prairie fire on three sides, which was difficult to extinguish. The more the fire burned, the bigger the fire became, making it difficult to cross and the only way to escape was through the narrow mountain road in the middle.
At the same time, more than 3,000 Yue troops ambushing in the dense forest on the left were also surrounded by fire on three sides and could only escape to the small mountain road in the middle.
However, at this time, Zhou Bin's two thousand elite soldiers fired the rockets they had just prepared! Some of them shot people, while the other part shot at the trees on both sides of the mountain trail. The fire spread quickly and turned into a sea of flames on all sides.
Many people began to retreat, while those behind wanted to rush forward, colliding and trampling on each other, creating a chaotic mess.
"Stop everyone and listen to my orders!"
The master of the Black Mountain Cave's expression changed, and he swung his sword to kill a few soldiers who retreated. Then he said in a deep voice: "You can't retreat. If you retreat any further, you will be burned alive by the fire. Even if you use your life to pile up, you have to rush out! Who dares to retreat?" , I’ll kill him first!”
So the Montenegrin tribe and other Yue soldiers rushed out with rockets and human flesh as a wall, and fled behind with the soldiers of all ethnic groups who broke through on the left.
However, what was waiting for them were hundreds of Red Flame troops led by Zhou Yulang.
The Red Flame Army fired a volley of crossbow arrows, forcing the Black Mountain Cave Master back.
At this time, Zhou Yulang pulled out the low-grade divine weapon flaming knife, and the red flame energy in his body was activated to the extreme, condensing an inch of red flames, and rushed towards the black mountain cave master, swinging the knife to kill.
The Master of the Black Mountain Cave was also a master at the pinnacle of the Aphrodisiac Refining. He suddenly drew his sword, and the long sword in his hand instantly condensed a layer of extremely cold black sword aura, and he slashed quickly!
At this time, the illusion of a red flamingo suddenly appeared and let out a sharp crane chirp!
This was Zhou Yulang communicating with the weapon spirit Fire Crane and using the magic weapon soul skill.
The Black Mountain Cave Master's mind was captured by the soul skills of the divine weapon spirit, and he stood stunned for a moment.
At this time, Zhou Yulang dodged and avoided the black long knife of the Black Mountain Cave Master. He slashed out from the side of the Black Mountain Cave Master, and the blade struck his head.
However, the master of the Black Mountain Cave was not bothered by his divine soul cultivation. He quickly broke away from the impact of the divine soul and was about to dodge it with light skills.
At this time, there was a scorching sword intent that cut into his soul. The Black Mountain Cave Master screamed and lost consciousness again. Immediately, the flaming knife struck quickly and cut off the head of the Black Mountain Cave Master!
In just a few seconds, the master of the Black Mountain Cave had been killed by Zhou Yulang!
When the Nanshan Cave Master saw this scene, he was shocked and lost all his courage. He put down the double-sided ax in his hand and hurriedly said: "I surrender!"
Seeing this, other soldiers also abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
In the past, as long as they surrendered, the Chu people, who considered themselves a country of etiquette, would definitely not kill them, but would also let them go back and let them farm in peace.
However, this time is different from the past. Emperor Chu Ming's patience has been worn out, and he has issued a death order long ago. No prisoners will be left alive, and those who disobey the order will be executed!
Therefore, Zhou Yulang did not dare to hold back at all. With a flash of his figure, he activated the flaming sword intention to attack the soul of the Nanshan Cave Master, and then killed him with one sword!
Later, Vice General Sun led his troops to follow Zhou Yulang, constantly killing soldiers who wanted to escape.
In such a narrow road, a master like Zhou Yulang, who is at the top of the aphrodisiac and armed with a magic weapon, is simply one man in charge, and no one can get past him!
Ten minutes later, corpses were left on the ground, and more than 6,000 enemy troops were wiped out!
However, only a small number of the enemy troops were actually killed. Most of the enemy troops were trapped in the sea of fire and burned alive. The death was extremely miserable!
