Chapter 1850 I call them and then “escape” back
"ah!"
In an instant, screams rang out in the valley.
Countless arrows rained down like rain, piercing through the fog and shooting towards the defenseless soldiers. In the blink of an eye, several people were shot and fell to the ground.
When the people behind saw this, they panicked and retreated one after another, with people constantly shouting -
"What's going on? How could this happen!?"
"Be careful, there's an ambush!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Although Wu Ding was not the first to charge and did not rush to the front, the personal soldiers beside him held torches in their hands and became targets in the dark night. The first arrow hit him, and blood kept gushing out from his chest, instantly dyeing his clothes red.
The severe pain made his vision go black and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, the personal soldiers around him were still supporting him, waving their swords to block the flying arrows while retreating.
At this moment, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat! Retreat! We've been ambushed! Retreat!"
The soldiers, who were originally frightened out of their wits by the arrows falling like rain and were retreating continuously, had no other thoughts when they heard their commander shout "retreat". They turned around and ran back the way they came.
Retreat quickly, retreat from here quickly, escape is the most important thing!
Everyone thought so.
Wu Ding's mind was in a state of confusion at this moment. Protected by his personal soldiers, he kept pushing away the soldiers in front of him and wanted to rush to the front. But when they turned around and ran, arrows flew at him one after another from behind. He could only hear screams in his ears, and soldiers kept falling down after being shot by arrows.
In the dark night, Ji Santing, who was hiding behind a huge rock, saw this and raised his hand.
His men, especially the archers following him, stopped immediately at this moment.
The confidant beside him asked, "Third Master, shouldn't we catch up?"
Ji Santing didn't say anything.
Just looking at those people fleeing in a panic, his bright eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely noticeable light flashed in the darkness.
Then he said, “No need.”
"ah?"
Everyone around was startled and asked, "Third Master, didn't the boss tell you not only to stop these people from entering the Thermidor Crescent, but also to weaken the imperial army?"
“…”
"Only in this way can we let the people in the court know that we, Thermidor, are a tough nut to crack."
“…”
"That way, they won't have any plans for us, Thermidor."
Ji Santing stared calmly at the beleaguered group ahead, then turned around after a moment. Though young, he had experienced a great deal, exuding a calm and composed aura of youth. The surrounding bandits, though not young, seemed dwarfed by him.
Ji Santing smiled calmly and said, "No rush."
“…”
"I didn't say I'd let them go."
Another bandit frowned and said, "But they are about to escape from Mashan."
Ji Santing said, "Escape? I'll tell them to 'escape' back."
“……!”
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.
Looking at the soldiers fleeing in all directions, he was puzzled. These people just ran away, how could they come back?
But just as they were full of doubts and Wu Ding led everyone forward, wanting to quickly escape from the valley, suddenly, there was a noise on both sides of the canyon on the way they came.
They heard some noises above their heads, but before they could come to their senses, countless huge rocks fell from the sky!
