Chapter 1348 Burning the First Village

This steep cliff, let alone the soldiers of Daming, is also an unclimbable cliff for the mountain people who grew up here.But for these more than 100 carefully selected Jianghu people, it is nothing.

Luo Xin is rich, very rich.

He owns a car and horse dealership, an escort agency, and also participates in the Southern Maritime Shipping Department and the Northern Mutual Market, so it can be said that he is making a lot of money every day.

As long as you have money, at least in the rivers and lakes, you are almost invincible.

Rivers and lakes!

It's a Vanity Fair!

Wang Cuiqiao threw out a lot of money, and almost wiped out all the quack masters, and carefully selected more than 100 people from these quack masters. It can be imagined that these quack masters have all the skills.

Therefore, for others, it is a cliff of heaven, but for them, although it is not like walking on flat ground, it is not too difficult.

At this time, General Wang and General Li had each led their troops and quietly ambushed more than 100 meters away from the mouth of the valley.Luo Xin led the generals to stand in the rear army, under the moonlight, looking at the opposite valley entrance.

He Xinyin sighed softly and said: "In all dynasties, the mountain people have been the most troublesome for the imperial court. The mountains are complex, the valleys and basins, the cliffs, the narrow paths, and the dense forests are not only difficult to walk, but also easy to get lost in the endless Among the old forests."

"Yes!" Yun Zhiqiu put his hand on the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and said with emotion: "As soon as the imperial army arrives, they will retreat into the old forest without a trace. No matter, what is your plan?" ?”

Luo Xin looked up at the cliff and said in a low voice, "Hurry up!"

midnight!

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

On the cliff ridges on both sides of the valley, more than 100 people have climbed it at this time, and there are more than 100 people on each ridge.These more than 100 people were lined up along the ridge at this time. Each of them carried two bamboo tubes on their backs. More than [-] people were lying on the ridge. One person took out a fire folder, pulled out the cover, and the flames rose. , The man held the fire folder in the air, and drew three circles. From the opposite ridge, a little fire appeared, and drew three circles in the night sky.

Luo Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, saw the fire on the ridge, and whispered to the herald beside him:
"Send an order for General Wang and General Li to prepare for battle."

"Yes!" The herald bowed his back and left quietly.

He Xinyin and the others didn't notice the fire on the ridge. When they heard Luo Xin's order, they couldn't help being surprised, but they couldn't ask, so they all opened their eyes wide and looked towards the mouth of the valley.But they didn't notice the ridge above.

above the ridge.

The three-circle fire fold disappeared, and everyone on the ridge took down a bamboo tube from behind. The bamboo tube was filled with tung oil and had a thick fuse on the outside. When lit with the fire fold, it burned immediately, like a a torch.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

More than 100 bamboo tubes filled with tung oil were thrown into the valley, and the bamboo tube was still falling in the air. The more than 100 people had already taken down the second bamboo tube, lit it, and threw it down into the valley.

in the valley.

More than 3000 people who were able to fight stood guard at the mouth of the valley. They slept on the ground and were ready to fight at any time. There were only a dozen of them, with their backs facing the valley, and their eyes wide open facing the outside of the valley, looking around.

"Ok?"

Although their backs were facing the valley, they felt that the sky seemed to be a little brighter, they couldn't help raising their heads, and then turned back...

"what is that?"

"The stars are falling?"

In their field of vision, they saw countless lights descending from the sky like stars.

"Bang bang bang..."

The light fell from the high cliff to the ground, and fell in all directions in the valley, counting down.

Some fell on the farmhouse in the field, some on the roof of the wooden house, and some fell in the woods...

The bamboo tube shattered, and tung oil spilled out, spreading to the surroundings.

"boom……"

fire...

The sky was full of fire, and the valley instantly became a sea of ​​fire. In the valley, the sky was dry and everything was dry, and there were combustible objects everywhere. In just a moment, the sea of ​​fire became one piece.

Countless people rushed out of the wooden house, but they entered another sea of ​​flames. Most importantly, the entire valley was filled with thick smoke, which made people suffocate.I can't even tell the direction.

"Is... on fire?"

The Ming soldiers outside the valley could already see the flames in the valley through the five-meter-wide valley mouth, and even feel the heat wave coming from the valley mouth.

General Wang suddenly gave a jolt, and quickly shouted: "The archers are ready, we must not let a rebel slip through the net, the time has come to avenge the dead brothers."

Every soldier bowed his bow and set his arrow, with ferocious hatred on his face.Their brothers and friends stayed in the old forest permanently before, and this hatred has been suppressed in their hearts for too long.

The screams continued to come from the valley, and black figures ran out of the valley in embarrassment, with no weapons in their hands and no rules, completely desperate.

"Let go!" General Wang shouted.

"Whoosh..."

Thousands of arrows shot towards the mouth of the valley less than five meters wide, like a wall made of arrows, blocking the mouth of the valley.

"what……"

Countless screams sounded, and those rebels were instantly shot into hedgehogs, but there were still rebels who kept rushing out of the valley mouth, were shot to death by arrows, and fell to the ground.

This situation lasted for about three quarters of an hour, and no one ran out of the valley anymore. The fire in the valley was still burning, and the heat wave rushed out from the mouth of the valley, mixed with the smell of barbecue.

"Go back!"

Luo Xin said lightly, turned around and walked towards the Chinese army.He Xinyin, Yun Zhiqiu, Tao Xingyan and the generals silently followed behind Luo Xin.Although they didn't know why the fire suddenly broke out in the valley, they knew that it must have something to do with Luo Xin.

Back in the army, Luo Xin waved his hands and said, "Everyone go to rest, we have to march in the morning."

"Yes!"

All the generals dispersed one after another, but He Xinyin, Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan did not leave.He Xinyin opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end. Ever since Luo Xin told him that he was going to massacre the Eighteen Villages, he knew that he would see this scene, but the way the rebels died was different.Shaking his head, he turned and left.

Yun Zhiqiu's face was a little pale, but it was obvious that when he was young, he walked the world with a sword, and his heart was much harder than ordinary people, so he didn't say anything in the end.But Tao Xingyan was different. He didn't have the energy of He Xinyin and Yun Zhiqiu, so he said:

"No, this...isn't...a bit too cruel?"
