The sun is like fire and the fragrance is like fire, and the forest is silent and noisy.
More than a dozen people were lying in the bushes waiting nervously.
Finally, the first few people holding knives appeared in their sight.
Capt. Han quickly stretched out his hand and warned everyone in a low voice. "Shh, don't move, wait until they all come in."
Although he spoke very calmly, the sweat on his forehead showed that he was also very nervous at this time.
Everyone stared nervously at the group of bandits, while holding the rope in their hands tightly, waiting for the signal to sound.
. . .
"Eh? Why did this man disappear? Shouldn't he? We watched him come in." The leading bandit couldn't help but asked with some doubts. Xiaoliu disappeared after just turning a corner. figure.
"Hey, don't think so much. That man must be in front. He is so fast. Let's chase him quickly and don't let him escape. That's a thousand taels of silver."
"That's right, there's only one way here, so he can still fly away."
The bandits quickly quickened their pace and chased forward, but what they didn't know was that there was someone on the cliff above them watching them, and it wasn't just one person.
Xiaoliu held the prepared vines in his hand and looked at the bandits passing by below. When he saw that the bandits had almost entered, Xiaoliu shouted quickly.
"Do it!"
The bandits who entered the mountain pass were instantly startled when they heard such a shout, but before they could react, what was going on.
Suddenly, tree blocks, sharp bamboos and other objects began to fall from above, and they instantly realized something was wrong.
"No! There's an ambush! Hurry! Get out of the valley!" Someone shouted in panic.
But I want to withdraw now, but it’s too late!
I saw Xiao Liu descending from the sky with a vine in his hand and a cold knife in his hand, directly cutting off the escape route of those bandits.
"Want to leave? Get through me first!" Xiao Liu stood proudly with a knife.
When several bandits with knives saw that Xiao Liu had cut off their escape route, they quickly swung their knives towards Xiao Liu, trying to carve out a bloody path.
However, the terrain of the mountain pass is narrow, and the bandits cannot use their numerical advantage at all.
Xiaoliu can be said to be one man in charge, and he can't stop ten thousand people. He killed the two leading bandits with just two swords.
Seeing Xiao Liu's murderous figure, the other bandits quickly turned around and ran towards the exit in fear, but how could Xiao Liu allow them to escape so easily and chased them all the way.
The bandits in front were even worse, because at this moment, the flames on the mountain road ahead had begun to burn blazingly.
Branches, kerosene, sharp bamboo, wine, wooden blocks, and igniting objects were thrown down from the cliff. The originally unobstructed exit instantly ignited into a sea of fire.
The blazing flames blocked most of the bandits directly in the mountain pass. Some unlucky bandits were even splashed with kerosene, and after being contaminated by sparks, they directly caught fire.
"Ah! Save me! Save me!" The fireman ran around in fear, and everyone quickly pushed him to the ground, punching and kicking him.
"The boss is in trouble. That person, that person, appeared behind us. He is coming to kill us. Even the brothers can't resist it." At this time, another piece of bad news came.
"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Now there is a sea of fire in front, a murderous god behind, and cliffs on both sides, not to mention that there are people from the other side guarding it.
It can be said that they have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth at this time. What should they do?
The bandits couldn't help but feel despair in their hearts.
Compared to the desperate mood of the bandits, Han Captou and his two apprentices who were watching this scene from the top of the cliff were in a great mood. These bandits were finished.
"Master, isn't this bandit not that good?" A disciple said with a smile.
"Yes, Master, Deputy Chief Yan just used a little trick to trap these bandits here. It seems that these bandits have nothing to be afraid of?" Another person also said.
Looking at his apprentice's frivolous appearance, Capt. Han couldn't help but shook his head and said.
"This group of bandits is not simple. You see, when they are in such a situation, most of them can still remain calm and not panic at all. This shows that this is by no means an ordinary group of bandits, they must be a group of experienced people. He’s an old bandit.”
"Oh, what a pity! What a pity!" Han Captou couldn't help but lamented.
Hearing their master sighing twice, the two apprentices couldn't help but feel confused.
"Master, what's the pity? They are bandits and do all kinds of evil."
"That's right, Master, you also said that they are probably habitual criminals with countless blood on their hands. Shouldn't they be killed?"
Hearing that his two apprentices had misunderstood, Capt. Han explained with a smile.
"I'm not sorry for their death, I'm sorry that our preparation time was too short and we couldn't wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
"Huh?" The two apprentices were a little confused. Isn't this already trapped?
Seeing his two apprentices' confused looks, Capt. Han patiently explained to them.
"The strategy used by Yan Captou is the fire attack. Relying on the special terrain of this mountain pass, the fire attack can easily annihilate these bandits in one fell swoop."
"But unfortunately, due to the short time we have to prepare and the small number of manpower, we cannot collect enough ignition materials in a short period of time, and we cannot cause a large area of fire."
"For this reason, he deliberately changed his plan, which was to form a local sea of fire at the front exit to block the enemy's way out."
"Then he will guard the back road alone and completely trap these bandits in this valley."
"Then, he took advantage of the narrow terrain to kill the enemies one by one, and finally annihilated all the bandits in this mountain pass."
"Although this plan seems very simple, there is a key and prerequisite, that is, he himself must possess super high martial arts."
Speaking of this, Han Captou couldn't help but look solemnly down at Xiao Liu, who almost killed one person in ten steps.
This man's courage, martial arts, and strategy are all extraordinary. How could Lao Xing have such an apprentice?
After listening to the master's words, the two apprentices looked at the master's solemn and thoughtful look, and were still a little confused. Since the plan was so perfect, what was the master still worried about?
Seeing that his apprentice still didn't understand, Han Captou said. "Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and one person's power is limited. Okay, our mission is completed, let's go support Xing Captou and the others."
"Ah?" The two of them were a little confused when they heard this. Isn't their mission just to stay here? Why should they go to support Mr. Xing?
However, their masters were all gone, so they had no choice but to follow them quickly.
At this time, the bandits below have also made a decision, that is, to break through the sea of fire!
Originally, the big boss was ready to go back and fight Xiaoliu, but he was persuaded by Xie Zhongda.
He had fought against Xiao Liu and knew how terrifying Xiao Liu's martial arts was. It would be difficult for them to use it in such a narrow terrain, especially his marksmanship. Turning around rashly would be tantamount to courting death.
The rest of the climb up the mountain wall is even more inviting of death. There must be an ambush on the other side, and they don't know how to do light kung fu. If they climb up there, they are seeking death.
So in the end, the only way to survive in the sea of fire, which seems to be death, is actually the only way to survive.
The opponent's flames only prevented them from getting out, which just showed that the opponent's frontal defense capabilities were insufficient, so they resorted to this move.
The fact is as Xie Zhongda expected, only Lao Xing and a dozen people are defending at the mountain pass. Although they have the most manpower among the three sides, their defensive capabilities are the worst among the three sides.
Han Captou also saw this, and after determining the opponent's next route, he chose to go to support Lao Xing.
