Yuan Junzhang and Zhi Shili led the team and retreated quickly. However, as they retreated, they were shot down by arrows along the way. The casualties were quite heavy.
Yuan Junzhang and Zhi Shili were running at the front. As they got closer and closer to the entrance, the anticipation on their faces became more and more intense.
Escape!
As long as they escaped the narrow path at the foot of Jade Talisman Peak, they would be able to shake off their pursuers.
The ambush this time, whether it was Yuan Junzhang or Zhi Shisui, the two of them were filled with grief and indignation. They had fought with Li Daen more than once or twice, and both of them had won and lost. However, they had never encountered a one-sided massacre like this.
"Retreat, retreat at full speed!"
Yuan Junzhang shouted.
He gradually breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally escaped. However, as they approached the entrance of Jade Talisman Peak, suddenly, the rumbling of war drums sounded from the mountain.
Along with the sound of war drums, clay pots were thrown down from the mountain. As the clay pots broke on the ground, oil flowed out and soaked the ground. Fire arrows flew down from the sky and ignited the ground.
A sea of fire quickly formed.
Most importantly, the sea of fire was extremely long. It was almost ten feet long. With such a distance, after forming the sea of fire, it became a sea of death.
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The fire burned and gradually became hotter. The heat waves were even higher than the previous one. It was awe-inspiring.
Yuan Junzhang and Zhi Shili were stunned when they saw this. Their faces twitched because the scene before their eyes had completely disrupted their plans, causing them to be at a loss of what to do. There was a sea of fire at the entrance and a sea of fire at the exit. Today's situation was completely unfavorable!
According to their plan, once they retreated to the entrance, they would be able to rush out.
However, it was different now.
"Charge, charge out!"
Yuan Junzhang shouted and gave the order.
Even if there was a fire burning in front of them, they could not stay. Because they were blocked at the foot of Jade Talisman Peak, they had no other choice but to continue charging forward. If they stayed, they would all die.
Therefore, even if there was a sea of fire in front of them, they had to charge forward.
One by one, the soldiers began to charge forward.
Yuan Junzhang took off his outer robe and took out his water bottle. He poured all the water in the bottle onto his clothes. After drenching his clothes, he wrapped them around his body and even his head. Then, he quickly rushed forward.
The rest of the people followed suit and charged forward. The group of people continued to charge into the sea of fire. However, when many people rushed into the sea of fire, someone suddenly screamed.
"Charcoal, there's charcoal on the ground."
"It hurts!"
"Charge, charge out!"
"Don't rush in, don't rush in, the charcoal inside is already red hot."
…
More and more screams and shouts could be heard. Yuan Junzhang and Zhi Shili, who were sprinting at the beginning, were in a better state. After all, they were at the front, and the charcoal that was temporarily laid on the ground was not burning red yet.
As time passed, the charcoal on the ground burned red. When one stepped on it, they would feel a burning pain. It would directly burn the soles of their shoes. As a result, many of the soldiers behind simply stopped charging and stayed where they were.
"Surrender, I surrender!"
In the crowd, there was the first soldier who shouted to surrender. Accompanied by the shouts, more and more soldiers knelt down and surrendered. The shouts of so many surrendered soldiers reached the mountain.
The commander on the mountain ordered them to stop shooting. After all, the passage in front and behind had been blocked.
For the time being, they were not afraid of these people escaping.
Yuan Junzhang, Zhi Shili, and the others in the sea of fire used the charge of their warhorses and finally rushed out of the sea of fire. However, the warhorses under them were already crippled. Even they themselves were in a sorry state.
The wet clothes that were wrapped around their bodies had already been dried by the fire. There was no longer any water vapor.
"Huff! Huff!!! "
One by one, they gasped for breath.
Yuan Junzhang's face revealed an expression of relief. He looked at Zhi Shili and said in a deep voice, "Chief Zhi Shili, this time, we have suffered too much."
Zhi Shili gritted his teeth and said, "Although the losses are huge, at least we escaped. Next, we will go back first. After we return, we will mobilize our own armies. We have suffered such a huge loss this time, we cannot let it go like this. "
Zhi Shili was extremely angry in his heart.
He had followed Xieli and fought with the Tang dynasty not once or twice, but never once had he suffered such a heavy loss. The loss this time made him feel extremely disappointed, but more than that, he was angry.
"You want to leave with just you?"
Suddenly, a clear voice came.
This voice came from not far away. It was Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde, and Li Daen.
Previously, when Zhi Shili and Yuan Junzhang retreated, Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde, and Li Daen had already climbed the mountain and came over from the Jade Talisman Peak. Although the path on the mountain was a little long, after all, they had already made it through. Moreover, Zhi Shili and Yuan Junzhang's journey was not smooth and delayed for some time. Therefore, when Yuan Junzhang came out, Du Qi had also arrived.
However, here, they had already arranged for soldiers. Even if Du Qi and the others did not come in time, Yuan Junzhang and the others would not be able to escape.
Du Qi said lightly, "Yuan Junzhang, Zhi Shili, today, you will not be able to escape even if you have wings. You want to escape? That's absolutely impossible. Now, kneel down and surrender. "
"Absolutely impossible!"
Yuan Junzhang gritted his teeth, waved his sleeve, and ordered, "Go, take them down."
He ordered loudly.
A few of Yuan Junzhang's personal guards rushed out from beside him. These personal guards were all old soldiers on the battlefield. Their combat strength was extremely strong, and they were not afraid of danger. Even now, they were injured, but their combat strength was not affected at all.
One by one, they quickly rushed toward Du Qi and the others after receiving the order. However, the moment these people rushed out, the soldiers at the side directly rushed up. A frontal charge defeated Yuan Junzhang and Zhi Shili's army.
However, Zhi Shili's martial arts were extremely strong, and he kept breaking out of the encirclement. In a short time, he broke through the soldiers' defense line and went straight to Li Daen, Du Qi, and the others.
Seeing this, Du Qi smiled faintly.
He waved behind him, and Mordor had already rushed out with the iron rod. Mordor was tall and sturdy. He blocked in front of Du Qi and the others. The moment Zhi Shili swung his saber down, the iron rod had already met it.
Clang!
The iron rod and the saber collided.
Sparks flew, and in the next moment, the expression on Zhi Si Li's face changed. Because the moment the sparks flashed at the collision point, a majestic force had already surged over.
That vast and unstoppable power, in just one exchange, caused the web between the thumb and forefinger of Zhi Si Li's palm to crack. He couldn't even hold the saber in his hand and it was sent flying.
The iron rod continued to fall, and it actually fell on Zhi Shili's head.
Du Qi said, "Let him live!"
After Mordor heard this, the iron rod turned slightly. Even though the iron rod changed direction and restrained some of its power. However, the iron rod still landed heavily on Zhi Shili's shoulder with a bang.
Zhi Si Li screamed in pain, only feeling endless pain coming from his bones. It was as if the bones on his left shoulder were about to crack. He was seriously injured.
His legs could no longer stand steadily, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
