Chapter 264: Flooding Qie Lan! Victory over the many with the few
The fuse lit, and the maidservant beside her quickly shielded her as she retreated a dozen steps, hiding in the innermost part of the cave. The smell of gunpowder smoke wafted in, and with a crack, the barrier supporting the boulder exploded. The boulder swayed briefly, then rolled down along its predetermined trajectory, causing the cave floor to tremble.
The huge rock hit the trigger of the catapult with great force and accuracy. A ball covered with white phosphorus and incendiary oil was thrown into the air, suddenly ignited with blue flames, and flew towards the gunpowder placed on the top of the mountain while spinning.
The three people guarding the cave entrance saw He Zhaojun's gesture and hurriedly released the whistling arrows in their hands. The red bullets were fired out and scattered into red clouds in the air.
Wen Ziduan blocked Lan Yan's scimitar and was very happy to see the three red clouds. Sure enough, He Zhaojun really understood his arrangement and had already implemented it.
In a few more breaths, the thousand-year-old water in the cold pool on the top of the mountain will flow back into the Orchid Valley, carrying with it tremendous anger, drowning all the nightmares of Qi Lan who kill without blinking an eye.
He yelled, "Run!"
After saying that, he bolted up the opposite hillside, showing no sign of wanting to fight, a stark contrast to the fight they had just had. Lan Yan simply thought he was afraid of her bravery and laughed three times.
"The Third Prince is nothing but a coward! Come here and die!"
Before he could finish his words, Lan Yan heard a deafening roar that echoed in the valley, like raging thunder or the howling of hundreds of ghosts, and then he felt his feet trembling.
"What's going on?"
“Chief! Ah…”
"save……"
The torrent of water poured down from great heights, pouring mercilessly into the Orchid Valley. The Orchid soldiers were caught off guard and were swept into the turbulent water, losing their weapons and armor.
Some people farther away noticed something was wrong and tried to turn around and flee, but were blocked by those behind them. For a moment, they collided with each other, becoming a chaotic mess, unable to move. In just this moment of delay, all the people in Lan were already submerged in the water.
"Quick, run up the hill!"
Seeing that the water had already reached her neck, Lan Yan felt that it was difficult to breathe. Raising her hand became a luxury, and she didn't know where she had thrown the scimitar.
However, Wen Ziduan and the ancient Qiang tribe he led were well prepared and had floating objects in their hands, so even if they did not have time to escape, they could still float on the water.
Some people used their shields as oars, paddled to the side in a few strokes, and successfully climbed up the hillside. Some people were still floating on the water, holding long spears in their hands, stabbing at the Qilan soldiers in the water like stabbing fish.
He Zhaojun, standing halfway up the mountain, felt something was wrong. Although the amount of water was huge and had drowned many Qie Lan soldiers, it was not enough to destroy the remaining force. There was still a tough battle to fight later.
Sure enough, a flood rushed out from the valley mouth, carrying with it the bodies of many Qilan soldiers. However, the water flowing down from above gradually slowed down, and the water level in the valley no longer rose. Many Qilan soldiers struggled to stand up from the water, and those who were taller could even show their heads.
"Let's go down and help!" He Zhaojun raised the long sword in her hand, jumped down along the rope, and led her men to rush towards Wen Ziduan. Because at this time, Wen Ziduan and Lan Yan were fighting again.
Gu Guan had been trying his best to protect Wen Ziduan, but his lips were blue, his moves were not accurate, and he was obviously exhausted.
"Gu Guan has been poisoned." Long Feibai frowned, he had a bad feeling.
