Chapter 491
Avalanche!
Chapter 491 Avalanche! (Thanks to book friend 2021…2957 for the four monthly tickets~)
In the following time, Wei Yan checked the snow on the mountain and felt that there was enough snow and there was no need to wait another night.
In addition, he could not leave too many soldiers on the mountain to avoid accidents, which would also make the safe hiding place no longer safe.
After making all preparations, Wei Yan stayed behind with fifty of his most elite soldiers.
All the other soldiers returned to the camp, and ordered the main force in the camp to climb up the low peak and prepare to attack the enemy.
Or leave the camp to prevent the avalanche on the sunny side from affecting your own camp.
Of course, their camp was located behind a low peak, unlike Zhu Jun and his camp, which was directly at the foot of the high peak.
Therefore, there is a high probability that nothing will happen in the camp on our side.
Soon, Wei Yan saw generals such as Huang Zhong, leading an army of 30,000, lying in wait on a low peak.
Wei Yan did not delay any longer.
While the enemy was cooking in the camp at noon, he and a group of soldiers immediately ignited the first mine can buried!
However, when the fuse was halfway burned, it suddenly went out.
The remaining half of the leads were also damp.
Wei Yan could only take a few people to another place where landmines were buried.
This mine was buried in a wind-eroded cavity under a huge rock.
Therefore, the depth buried by wind and snow is obviously less.
It's just that this place is farther away from their safe place.
Wei Yan asked the soldiers to leave first and planned to light the fuse himself.
However, at this time, Sima Zhoutai of the other department suddenly stopped him and said:
“Wunchang is the commander in this battle, we cannot take this risk.
"I will do it for you. Even if something goes wrong, Wenchang can continue to command the army to kill the enemy!"
Wei Yan took a look at the hideous scar on Zhou Tai's neck that extended from his clothes and knew that this guy's body was very resistant to beatings.
At least he is more resistant than Wei Yan...
And Zhou Tai was right. As the commander in this battle, he needed to ensure his own safety.
Once they suffer a loss, it is likely to affect the morale of the army.
However, he did not despise Zhou Tai's life because of this, and solemnly handed the torch to him:
"This fuse is almost long enough for you to escape to safety.
“After lighting the fuse, he ran towards us without looking back.
"Remember, even if you are very durable, you are still a mortal.
"And you only have one life, so you must pay attention to your own safety!"
Zhou Tai straightened his chest and grinned:
"Don't worry, Master Wen! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Having said that, Wei Yan was still worried, so he tied a long enough rope around Zhou Tai's waist.
If Zhou Tai is accidentally washed away by ice and snow, they can also rescue him.
After taking this precaution, Wei Yan said nothing more and immediately returned to the nearby high peak. Standing on the summit, he gave Zhou Tai a thumbs up.
After receiving the signal, Zhou Tai did not delay any longer and immediately used a torch to ignite the fuse wrapped in thick cloth.
With a "hiss" sound, Zhou Tai immediately threw away the torch.
He immediately changed from a half-running position to a full-speed run and quickly ran towards the mountain where Wei Yan and the others were!
While running, Zhou Tai could even hear his own violent heartbeat!
However, just when he was halfway through the run, his feet suddenly slipped!
A smooth stone actually made him fall directly, and he fell forward to the ground! Wei Yan and others on the mountain were startled and shouted:
"Stand up! It's going to explode!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately supported himself with his hands.
But just as he pushed the ground with his toes and tried to use the force to stand up, a loud bang suddenly came from behind!
Zhou Tai, who hadn't even stood firmly yet, was knocked to the ground in an instant!
Then Wei Yan and his men saw that the heavy snow behind and even beside Zhou Tai began to slide to both sides gradually under the influence of the sound waves.
Even the ice under Zhou Tai's feet began to slide to the side!
Wei Yan's face changed, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to hold on to the ropes, while calling on Zhou Tai to continue rushing forward!
Zhou Tai also realized that something was wrong. With a gloomy face, he jumped up suddenly due to a strong desire to survive and rushed straight towards Wei Yan and the others!
However, as the rumbling sounds continued, the third landmine can was detonated!
Under the impact of this wave of explosions, Zhou Tai's figure became unstable and was knocked to the ground by the ice and snow behind him, and then slid down to the side of the mountain!
Wei Yan was shocked, and hurriedly tightened the rope with a group of soldiers and pulled it up hard!
However, under the constant impact of ice and snow and the constant wear of the ropes on the rocks.
Wei Yan and the soldiers behind him suddenly felt their hands lighten and they fell backwards!
Wei Yan looked at the broken rope on the ground and froze in place for a moment...
at the same time.
In Zhu Jun’s camp at the foot of the mountain.
The soldiers were happily cooking.
In this cold place, eating a hot meal every day and huddling by the boiler to keep warm while cooking is their happiest moment.
However, at this moment, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the mountain!
Because the distance was far, although the sound was loud, there was no strong energy fluctuation.
The soldiers also looked up at the mountain in surprise.
Even senior military officers such as Han Sui and Zhu Jun rushed out of the tents to check the situation.
At this time, the ice and snow on the top of the mountain had just fallen, and the speed was not very fast, and the momentum created was also very ordinary.
But Mao Jie was the first to realize something, his face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted to everyone:
"Oh no! The enemy is trying to create an avalanche and drown us with heavy snow!"
"what?!"
Zhu Jun was also frightened and turned pale!
He recalled that the enemy had deliberately seized the low peak, and then deliberately shot arrows at them to force them to set up camp here.
It turns out that the plan from the beginning was to use an avalanche to destroy them!
They never thought that avalanches could be created artificially.
No wonder the enemy, despite having the advantage in manpower and gunpowder, did not attack directly.
It turns out that he wanted to use the power of nature to attack them without any soldiers!
Who could come up with such a vicious plan?!
Could it be that there is also a poisonous strategist on the other side? !
Before Zhu Jun could think about it, there was another loud bang suddenly coming from the mountain.
As the sound came, Mao Jie noticed that the speed at which the ice and snow on the mountain were sliding down was significantly faster!
Mao Jie hurriedly urged Zhu Jun:
"General, quickly retreat the army! Otherwise, when the ice and snow fall, no one in our camp will survive!"
Although Zhu Jun was panicked inside, he pretended to be calm on the surface and immediately ordered his army to abandon everything and flee out of the camp!
Han Sui was already riding a horse, and he brought two horses with him. He shouted to Zhu Jun and Mao Jie:
"Hurry up, you two, get on your horses! It will be too late if you are late!"
Zhu Jun watched the soldiers fleeing out of the camp in a disorderly manner, so he had no choice but to mount his horse and flee out of the camp with the soldiers.
However, the gate of the village was narrow and many soldiers were blocked there, which greatly slowed down the soldiers' escape!
