Chapter 652 Accidentally Stumbled into a Battle Between Two Armies! Retreat!
Everyone held their breath and waited for them to find out the truth.
"General!"
"This fire has no heat when you get close."
Upon hearing this, the people in the crowd exchanged bewildered glances.
Those who didn't believe it to begin with were instantly thrown into an uproar.
"I told you, it was all a scam!"
"Where in the world is there fire that doesn't feel warm when you get close to it?"
"Isn't this just the mirage the general was talking about?"
"A mirage? I've seen it a few times in the desert, but I never expected to see it here. And this is the first time I've ever seen a sea of fire. It's truly a spectacular sight."
Upon hearing this, the general laughed heartily.
"I knew it!"
"This trick is Allah's test for us!"
"As long as we remain steadfast in our beliefs, even a sea of fire cannot stop us!"
"This time, we are unstoppable. We must take Mantuo City and seize the initiative for our soldiers who are fighting against the Great Chu."
"Everyone, keep moving forward—"
But the soldier standing in front of the sea of fire still felt that something was not right.
This fire has no temperature.
But there isn't a single real mirage in the world that makes you feel like you're right in front of it.
The fire was so intense that you could clearly reach out and touch it.
Although it lacked warmth, it was genuinely terrifying to them...
Suddenly, a soldier was pushed in from behind by a force.
"Won't we find out if it's true or false once we go in?"
Just as the soldier was pushed into the sea of fire, a scream jolted everyone awake.
He immediately jumped and ran out.
"Fire! It's fire, it really is fire—"
"Help me, help me—"
"Help! General, help me—"
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault—"
The soldier cried out pitifully as he lunged toward his companion who had come with him.
One of them was ignited by the flame.
In just a moment, his whole body burst into flames.
Seeing this, the others immediately turned and ran away.
As for the two that were on fire, they screamed and rolled down the hillside.
His entire body was engulfed by flames.
Strangely, no matter how much they rolled around on the ground, the flames showed no sign of going out.
Instead, it burned even more fiercely.
It gets redder and redder as it burns.
Before long, the two fire figures, who had been screaming in agony, fell to the ground and gradually fell silent in an incredibly bizarre posture.
As the fire gradually died down, both of them were burned to a crisp.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was once again unable to contain their horror.
"Yes, it's true."
"What else could a flame without heat be but heavenly fire?"
Let's stop deceiving ourselves!
"We can't get through this fire, we simply can't get through it!"
"If this continues, everyone will die; no one will escape..."
The morale that had been painstakingly built up completely collapsed once again at this moment.
Even the general was speechless upon seeing this scene.
Could it really be a warning from Allah?
Otherwise, where did this volcano, which has no temperature yet is extremely ferocious, come from?
He couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Is this sea of fire, stretching as far as the eye can see, truly heavenly fire?
On the other side of the hillside, Li Qingluo completed the formation.
She counted on her fingers, ending the last term.
This was yet another instance of her breaking her promise to Duan Rongshi and resorting to witchcraft.
However, she kept things under control, so it didn't cause her any major harm.
Then, she collapsed weakly onto Que'er and Granny Zheng.
The two men anxiously helped her up, saying, "Miss, it's finally over. You've suffered so much, miss."
As they wiped Li Qingluo's sweat, they themselves shed tears with red eyes.
Li Qingluo touched her swollen belly: "I'm fine. It's just that the baby in my belly is suffering."
"Let's go, this fire won't go out for at least half an hour."
"This half hour should be enough to deter them."
"Even if we do face them head-on, we can easily defeat them by using fire attacks."
For the people of the Western Regions who believed in Allah, this trick was enough.
The group breathed a sigh of relief and, without further delay, quickly helped Li Qingluo onto the carriage, destroyed the traces they had left on the ground, and sped off towards the border again.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally caught sight of the city of Manto in the distance.
Everyone smiled with relief.
"Great, we're finally back!"
"I want to sleep with him for three days and three nights!"
"Then I must drink three large bowls of wine."
"You're all so useless. I want a girl to find me a wife."
"Hahaha……"
Even the characters associated with the word "kill" started making jokes.
Xuan Cang and the other senior brothers and sisters looked back with reluctance at the place where their master had left his life...
They probably won't go back so easily in the future.
Zhui Yu, however, had a furrowed brow and looked somewhat nervous.
Sha San rode forward and asked him, "Do you want me to accompany you back to take a look?"
Zhuiyu: "No need."
He doesn't dislike Kill 3.
Now that he's come back, he has long since completely let go of his relationship with Que'er.
As a result, the normal relationship and interactions between him and Sha San were restored.
He refused simply because he sensed that Manto City appeared normal from a distance.
But because there was nothing unusual and Po Feng didn't reply, Zhui Yu became even more puzzled.
"Miss, please allow me to go back and investigate on my own."
Li Qingluo had been unconscious the whole way and had only just woken up now.
Upon hearing Zhuiyu's words, she lifted the curtain and asked, "Is something unusual?"
Zhuiyu: "Nothing is unusual, which is why it's even more unusual."
Li Qingluo naturally understood what he meant.
"etc!"
"Listen, what is that sound?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a large army or something, which was gathering from the left, accompanied by a gradually clearing 'boom' sound.
Moreover, it was definitely not the Western Region army that they had previously intimidated.
Although this group of Western Region troops was also large in number, they could smell the strong stench of blood even before they got close to Li Qingluo.
That's the smell of soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have just fought.
"Girl, there are some over there too!"
Having been on the battlefield, Granny Zheng immediately and keenly sensed the commotion on the other side.
It was another force that marched in large numbers from the right rear.
Zhui Yu's eyes lit up, and a look of joy finally appeared on her anxious face: "Miss, you're one of ours!"
"It's a windbreaker, it must be a windbreaker!"
"No wonder, he's on the battlefield, that's why he can't respond to us!"
"Girl, let's hurry and join them!"
As he spoke, Zhuiyu pulled a black flag from his clothes. The flag had a blue dragon on it. He put it on his arm, raised it high and let it flutter in the wind. Then he eagerly prepared to rush out.
Li Qinglu shouted, "Wait a minute—"
Before he could finish speaking, an arrow flew towards him.
Li Qingluo: "Watch out!"
She acted swiftly, using the dagger in her hand to deflect the flying arrow, but the arrow still nearly pierced Zhuiyu's arm.
Sha San pounced on him, grabbed him, and tumbled off his horse.
The two rolled on the ground to avoid being trampled to death by the frightened horse.
After getting up, Que'er ran over and angrily scolded the two of them: "Are you crazy?"
Do you know what you were just doing?
"If you do something so stupid again, I might as well beat you both to death!"
Sha San scratched his head: "I didn't think that much about it."
Zhuiyu coughed lightly: "Sorry, I was rash."
However, seeing both sides getting closer and closer to them, it was impossible for them to stay in place any longer.
Li Qingluo immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
Clearly, they had stumbled upon a battle between two armies.
Ahead lies the city of Mando.
The road we came from is behind us.
The enemy is on the left.
The right side is friendly forces.
So if they were to plead at the city gate at this moment, would the city gate be opened or not?
To the right, you would be a target from behind, and it would be extremely dangerous.
So it's better to retreat quickly and hide as far away as possible, so you can take the opportunity to help Pofeng in battle.
After Li Qingluo made a decisive decision, the horses and carriages of the group almost took off.
Fortunately, they managed to escape and break away during the battle between the two armies.
After all, at times like this, nobody cares where these dozens of little ants are moving to.
"Girl, it's fortunate that you stopped the Western Region reinforcements from behind, otherwise Pofeng might not have been able to hold on."
Seeing the scene of the two armies clashing, Zhuiyu said with lingering fear.
The girl sensed something was wrong, which is why she disregarded her own health and hindered the Western Region reinforcements.
Otherwise, if the two armies were to join forces...
How should Pofeng fight this battle?
Zhuiyu, of course, couldn't sit still.
He immediately volunteered to join the battle, and Li Qingluo did not stop him, even sending ten assassins to accompany him.
She originally planned to send all the assassins to the battlefield.
However, everyone disagreed and decided to leave most of the people behind to protect Li Qingluo's safety.
The battle was at a stalemate, and it was impossible to tell who would win.
The Western Regions army began to employ increasingly unconventional tactics.
Fortunately, Mando City is not losing either.
For every move the Western Regions army made, Lan Haijun responded with a counter-move.
Gradually, Li Qingluo realized that something was wrong.
"Po Feng is deliberately luring the Western Regions army."
"I want to draw out all their tricks."
"Or rather, they are deliberately stalling for time."
What is he waiting for?
However, Li Qingluo soon found out what Pofeng was waiting for.
"There are still people!"
"Or perhaps, Manto City has a backup plan!"
The city gates suddenly swung open.
A massive, dark army surged out of the city once again.
Neat and orderly.
It intimidates all directions.
They surged towards the city gates like fierce tigers and beasts.
The soldiers on the city wall also began to launch a long-range attack to assist.
And all enemy troops who attempted to breach the city walls were annihilated.
Li Qingluo couldn't see it very clearly.
All that is known is that an unknown number of troops are hidden within the city of Mantuo!
This windbreak.
He must have deliberately misled the Western Regions army at the beginning, making them think that he and all his soldiers were outside the city.
So the entire city was left aside, and the Western Regions were not in a hurry to attack it. They only wanted to kill these damned Lan Haijun first.
But little did they know that all's fair in war, and this time, Mantuo City intended to ensure that all the Western Region troops would not return alive.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but laugh.
"As expected, he's one of A-Shi's people."
She had already anticipated how the battle would end, and was just about to retreat back into the carriage to rest when she heard the Lan Hai Army, whose morale was high, shouting from the battlefield, "Lan Haiwang is here—"
"It's His Highness Prince Lan Hai!"
