"Advance another fifty paces, east and west, ready, fire!"
"Advance a hundred paces, southeast, ready, fire!"
With each command issued by Long Yue, these soldiers gradually closed in on the top of Luanshi Ridge, and even reached the pass.
Here, several corpses lay scattered, bleeding from all seven orifices. Judging by their appearance, they were all martial soldiers!
"Indeed, there is truly sothing suspicious here. Is soone conspiring to rebel?"
Long Yue said coldly, and beside her, Cao Xiao was instantly filled with righteous indignation: "We need captives, we must leave a few captives, then interrogate them severely!"
Long Yue didn’t speak, but her small face was covered with frost.
"We have already co up here, go deeper, and use poison powder to clear the way!"
As Long Yue spoke, the twenty-five hundred soldiers ford up, then drew their bows and nocked arrows, each arrow coated with powder.
Long Yue planned to turn this area into a toxic zone, so that they could not co from behind to stab her.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
At this mont, Commander Wang felt a murderous urge towards Long Yue; he never expected such a delicate beauty to be so ruthless and ruthless in her thods?
Would she actually attack them with poison?
Was she not afraid her own troops would be poisoned too?
No, they must have taken the antidote beforehand!
With those poisons, they appeared passive and were in a state of retreat and dilemma.
"Commander, it’s bad, other brothers are poisoned too!"
"Commander Liu and the others are poisoned, but the symptoms are relatively mild!"
Just returning, Commander Wang hadn’t caught his breath before hearing one bad news after another; he was so angry that he nearly spat blood!
It’s over, it’s over, ruined! This Heifeng Village can’t be sustained, and Luanshi Ridge couldn’t bear it any longer!
They spent a whole year completely rooting out the other bandit nests in Luanshi Ridge and replacing them with their own.
But now, is it going to be cheaper for others?
No, no!
Commander Wang was furious, absolutely unwilling to leave others even the slightest benefit!
"Go, tell them what I said, burn! Burn it! Set the mountain on fire! Damn it, I want them to have no way back!"
Burn the mountain?
Upon hearing this, everyone was completely shocked. Is this to perish together with the enemy?
The mountain paths in Luanshi Ridge are treacherous; once ignited, will they still have a retreat? Every path would be blocked by the mountain fire!
"We’re not going to survive, so don’t let them survive either. Instead of dying in humiliation, die gloriously; at least the lord will know and may provide for our families, right?"
"Yes!"
"Good, then... burn!"
"Burn, perish together with them!"
"Perish together!"
The fire sparked up and ignited the nearby forest.
"Little Yue’er, it’s bad, they want to burn this forest, what should we do?"
Ahead, billowing smoke appeared, Cao Xiao hurriedly halted and looked with shock at Long Yue behind him, eyes filled with anxiety and concern.
Long Yue slowly raised her head, looking at the dense clouds overhead, her heart also tightened nervously.
Her hand, hidden in her sleeve, couldn’t help but grip tightly, trembling slightly.
"Retreat!"
She decisively ordered, and everyone quickly began retreating along the original path.
Suddenly, a bitter cold wind arose.
Cao Xiao felt a bit of chill on his cheek, he looked up and exclaid in shock, pointing at the snowy sky overhead, "Snow? Yue’er, look quickly, it’s snowing!"
Long Yue also saw the crystalline six-sided snowflakes and was overjoyed.
A Mu said that this year’s winter would be especially cold; with the high mountains in Luanshi Ridge, it would be colder than other places, so it would snow here.
Before coming here, he looked at the swirling clouds overhead and said it would be soon, and it would snow right away.
Apparently, when she advanced, the sky would snow.
So, she ca.
Not only because of those poison powders but also because of the snow, which was the real focus.
When the enemy realized they were losing, they would certainly choose the thod to perish together, what thod was best suited to perish together and ensure they wouldn’t escape?
That would be arson!
Yes, set fire to the mountain!
This trick had been used by Li Qingmu in Xiliang before; now, the enemy had learned it and used it on their mountain.
Unfortunately, they encountered both of them, and Li Qingmu had calculated all of this early, which is why these days, he had been studying the stars overhead.
Truly astonishing!
This man even knew how to read constellations and forecast weather—amazing, truly amazing!
Long Yue admired her husband deeply, nearly worshipping him.
"With the snow, this mountain fire probably won’t burn."
Long Yue glanced at the snowflakes, which were large, and accompanied by the initial small flurries, they beca denser, snow was rapidly falling, becoming heavier!
This way, the snow itself being colder than water, plus the accumulating snow could cover and reduce the contact between flas and air, so the fire-extinguishing effect of snow was even better than water.
Soon, snow fell heavily, and the small clusters of mountain fires that had just started burning were quickly extinguished.
Seeing this, Commander Wang felt a rush of blocked blood in his chest, he took a deep breath of air, then, "Pfft—"
He spat blood!
Defeated, they were defeated! Moreover, it was a tragic defeat, even how they lost was unknown to them, this truly was a great humiliation!
He was very angry, very unwilling, but what could he do?
The fire couldn’t be ignited, the southern snow was too moist, covering it with such cold and bone-chilling air, further covered the flas well.
Defeated, defeated, completely defeated!
"Kill!"
"Kill—"
In the distance, the sounds of enemy forces fighting approached; Long Yue and Cao Xiao led twenty-five hundred soldiers of the Cao Family Army to charge in directly.
These were all battle-hardened veterans, extrely experienced in combat, and with just one collision, they left the remaining thousand people here with no escape, screaming miserably.
Commander Wang was the only commander not poisoned, he watched the mountain crumble in defeat, raising a hopeless roar to the sky, and drew out his longsword with a clang.
"I’ll fight you to the death, ah ah ah—"
He let out an angry roar, wielding his longsword to charge!
Even in death, he would die with dignity!
"Long spears, stab!"
Long Yue coldly watched the middle-aged man slashing towards her, without blinking, chanically issuing orders.
"Puff puff puff..."
Long spears instantly pierced into the enemy’s abdon, blood flowing freely!
Within just half an hour, this area was cleared, except for the few captives seized, everyone else was dead, either in battle or poisoned.
"Take them back for questioning!"
Long Yue said coldly.
Just as she was about to turn around, suddenly, "Puff puff puff..."
Those people spat blood one after another, all dying!
Thus, this battle was considered a major success!
However, for so reason, Long Yue felt a slight unease.
