"Not good! General! The sound is coming from behind us!"
Standing before the army, Peng Yue looked at Jin Mang with a look of surprise.
Just moments ago, as they were walking along the main road, they heard a tremendous, earth-shaking sound coming from behind them.
It's obvious that something big has happened in the rear!
Jin Mang's eyelids twitched, and a strong sense of unease lingered in his heart.
The barbarians ahead were still advancing and no commotion was heard, but something unexpected had happened behind them, which was really illogical.
There is only one main road into the mountains, with cliffs on both sides. It's impossible for the ambush troops to jump down from the mountains. And the commotion coming from behind is so loud, there is only one possibility.
The entrances to the mountains are mostly...
Upon realizing this, Jin Mang's heart pounded, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
During his earlier casual conversation with Peng Yue, he had casually mentioned that if Qin Ze's real purpose in not fighting the barbarians was to kill more people, then Qin Ze should find a way to get everyone into the mountains.
But if you take action after entering the mountains, the most terrifying possibility is...
Cut off their escape route!
Everyone will be left lying on the ground!
Jin Mang's eyes narrowed, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his back, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
"General! The young prince is still in the rear, we should..."
Before Peng Yue could finish speaking, Jin Mang shouted, "If Qin Ze dares to make a move behind us, it means he is confident he can keep us here!"
"Listen up! Follow me and continue marching! We'll catch up with the barbarians!"
"Get away from the mountain! Move to the middle of the road!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Mang spurred his horse and led his army forward at breakneck speed.
Peng Yue looked puzzled and asked while riding his horse, "General, is the young prince still behind us?"
Jin Mang turned his head, glared at him fiercely, and scolded:
"With our escape route cut off, Qin Ze is so fearless. He has cut off our escape route, and he has also cut off his own retreat. Do you understand what this means?"
Peng Yue's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said, "A decisive battle to the death?"
Jin Mang's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying:
"good!"
"The fact that he dared to make this move means he had made thorough preparations!"
"That's precisely why we need to catch up with the barbarian army and fight alongside them!"
"Our forces are scattered, and we will be defeated by him sooner or later in Yanluo Mountain!"
"Qin Ze, what ruthless tactics! He actually cut off our retreat! This is a war of annihilation!"
Upon hearing the word "annihilate," Peng Yue's expression changed.
Looking at the towering mountains now, the withered trees are faintly visible, and the wind rustles through them, making it seem as if a large number of soldiers are hiding there.
In an instant, a chill ran through my body.
"General, since that's the case, we should leave Yanluo Mountain as soon as possible!"
"Leave Yanluo Mountain directly for Anyang County..."
Jin Mang interrupted coldly: "If the rear route is cut off, the front route will likely be in jeopardy as well."
"Our immediate priority is to regroup with the barbarians and confront Qin Ze's ambush! Only by pooling all our strength can we minimize the danger!"
"drive!"
The group spurred their horses and galloped forward.
But just then, a series of "bang" sounds came.
Jin Mang's eyes narrowed, and he quickly pulled on the reins, shouting, "Stop!"
In fact, before he even spoke, the army had already begun to slow down, and almost everyone looked up at the distant sky.
In the distance, in mid-air—
The stones were flying everywhere!
Huge rocks are falling from the sky, landing right on the barbarian's marching route!
"Quickly! Scatter! Scatter!"
Wu Kui's face turned ashen, and he shouted loudly among the army.
And now, these stones, thrown from afar, are falling like raindrops!
"Bang bang bang!"
The boulder fell to the ground, landing in the crowd, causing chaos and disarray!
Screams, howls, and the neighing of warhorses filled the air.
"Your Majesty! We cannot stay here any longer! We must find a place to hide!" Shan Yi shouted.
In almost a short time, the formation of this long, hundreds of thousands of troops was disrupted. The destructive power of these falling boulders caused them heavy losses!
Countless people were hit by stones, blood splattered everywhere, and their bodies were smashed into mud. The horrific scene was appalling.
And all of this happened in just a short time.
"Quick! Get out of here! Run wherever you can hide!!"
Amid the panicked crowd, Wu Kui rode his lone swan, dodging falling stones, while shouting loudly.
His face was now deathly pale.
The screams of barbarian soldiers echoed in his ears, and all he could see were pools of flesh and blood, most of which had been smashed into the ground by stones, leaving only a pool of blood.
Countless limbs and fragments were scattered everywhere, and corpses lay on the ground.
Wu Kui could hardly believe the sight before him.
But the strong smell of blood kept entering his nostrils, and the screams he heard were so real that he had no choice but to accept the situation.
That was fast! The situation changed so quickly, it was a complete turnaround!
Mingming led his army into the mountains with great ease, and the journey thereafter went very smoothly, so smoothly that Wu Kui thought Qin Ze had already escaped.
If they continued on this path, Wu Kui even felt that he could leave Yanlu Mountain before sunset, and then head north to Anyang County.
He even thought that Qin Ze had led his troops back to Anyang County.
But just now, a series of loud noises came from behind.
