Chapter 761 Young General vs. Rich Lady 64
The guards of the Yan Mansion were also ashamed. They knew what kind of person their own prince was, but today the prince was quite powerful.
"Look at the walls around us. Everything is ready. We just need the last section."
Huo Xiao had already calculated it. He started placing explosives from the corner, one at intervals, all the way to the entrance covered with vines. Not only would the entire cave collapse, but it would also affect the Beirong people outside the cave.
However, the Beirong people cannot be too far away from the entrance of the secret passage, so they must all get closer to the entrance, and he himself will be the best bait.
They only have a hundred people, while there are so many Beirong people. They must have no scruples and think they can kill him even at the cost of their own lives.
Yan Changfeng took a bag of explosives, threaded the fuse together, and stuck it on the cliff wall at a good position.
A Beirong man rushed out with blood all over his face. He was the fish that escaped the net.
With a whoosh, the guard beside him shot a crossbow and hit the Beirong man right in the chest.
Blood splashed on Yan Changfeng's face. Yan Changfeng wanted to scream but he held it back. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He was almost scared to death!
"See these spots? Quick, put up the explosives! Xiao Wu and the others are going in to provide support. You can do the work of two people by yourself. Hurry!"
"What is Huo Xiao so proud of? I also have a tablet, and I have studied it much more carefully than him. After pasting it, I can still have a few packs of explosives left. Can he do that? He is just a reckless man, his brain is not as useful as mine!"
Yan Changfeng cursed and thought about Huo Xiao's mocking face. He told himself not to be afraid, because if anyone was going to die, Huo Xiao would be the first to die!
Seeing that the work was almost completed, Yan Changfeng blew the whistle around his neck three times in a row. This was a signal that it was time to withdraw.
Huo Xiao pierced a Beirong man's heart with a sword, and retreated quickly without any desire to fight.
The archers were well prepared. They fired the last wave of arrows densely, causing the Northern Rong people in the front to fall down and stumbling the people behind them.
Someone tripped over the pile of corpses at the corner, and Guo Qing's head rolled down, and his body rolled out. The bodies of those gangsters slid to the ground. The Beirong people kicked the corpses away with curses, but were blocked again.
With a crackling sound, the fuse was lit. The Huo family army ran in front, and the Beirong people caught up from behind. After turning the corner, there was a straight road with no obstruction. The guards of the Yan Mansion shot arrows to cover the Huo family army.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Yan Changfeng was so anxious that his forehead was covered with sweat. At this moment, he did not run to an open area to hide, but rushed in, pulling a wounded soldier and ran out desperately.
The fuse was getting shorter and shorter. Huo Xiao raised his hand and threw the sword out, piercing two Beirong men and nailing them to the wall.
The Huo family soldier fell to the ground after being slashed with a knife. His bulletproof vest was torn apart. He thought he was dead and yelled, "Major General, go!"
Huo Xiao picked up the man and threw him out. He stared at the length of the fuse, threw away the half-torn bulletproof vest, took light steps, used his light skills, and rushed out at an incredible speed!
With a loud bang, smoke and dust rushed over from behind. Huo Xiao fell to the ground and rolled on the spot to avoid the falling rocks. He jumped up with a somersault and ran towards an open and safe area!
Xu Sheng chopped a large rock with a knife, but small rocks still hit him. He turned around to protect the major general. Explosions sounded one after another behind him. This end had been blocked. They ran all the way without any danger.
Inside the cave, the ground was shaking, as if it was the end of the world.
The way forward was blocked, and the Beirong people realized that they had fallen into a trap. However, they could not understand why the mountain suddenly collapsed, no matter how hard they tried.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The Northern Rong people retreated in a hurry, leaving corpses all over the ground. Many people had their heads smashed, and others were pinned down by huge rocks, unable to move. The survivors didn't care about all this and only cared about escaping for their own lives.
When he turned the corner, there was another huge explosion! Even more violent than before! Huge rocks fell like raindrops, hitting people, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the Beirong people who were close to the wall were directly blown away, with broken limbs and debris, and blood splattered everywhere.
Guo Qing's head was impacted and flew high up. He finally closed his eyes, and in a round of explosion, his head blew into pieces.
Mountains collapsed one after another. Wanhu Hou thought he had won the battle, but as soon as he entered the secret passage, he was hit hard. No matter how many guards he had, they could not save him.
Tens of thousands of Beirong people died in the explosion, and the secret passage collapsed completely, being completely blocked.
Even the road they took to enter the mountain was affected, and it was impossible for them to enter Lulin Mountain through here.
The violent vibration lasted for half an hour, and the entire Pingyang City felt the shaking of the earth!
A few Beirong people escaped here and there. They were closer to the entrance and followed Huo Xiao and barely rushed out, but they were all seriously injured.
Xu Sheng arrested the man to see if he could get some useful information out of him.
The group returned to the grocery store along the secret passage. The store had been taken over by the Huo family army, and no outsiders were allowed to approach.
Yan Changfeng collapsed to the ground with weak legs and feet. "I am so tired! I have never run so fast in my life. It is so exciting! I almost died right there. I am the only heir of the Yan family for three generations. If I die, my parents will be so sad."
A guard carried Prince Yan on his back. Several of their brothers died in this operation, but compared to the tens of thousands of Northern Rong people who died, this price was worth it.
Yan Changfeng really couldn't walk anymore, so he patted the guard's shoulder and said, "Hey, when we get back to Wangdu, give their families some more money. Too many people died in the war. Before I came here, I wanted to be a general. I felt very proud and I wanted to revive the Yan family. But now I don't want to be that anymore. I just want to be a dandy prince in the capital! How comfortable!"
"Huo Xiao, I won't compete with you for military power. You can use the thousands of men I give you as you please. If they can survive, I will give them freedom and let them follow you."
"Xiao Wu, please take me back quickly. I miss Shurou."
Wu Yong carried the prince on his back and left with the remaining guards.
More than twenty soldiers of the Huo family army also died, and they couldn't even collect the bodies. Xu Sheng felt a little heavy-hearted. They were all the elites of the Fenghuo Camp and also the best in the Huo family army.
Everyone was injured to some extent. Huo Xiao was covered in blood, some of it his own and most of it from the Beirong people. His body was aching. The biggest wound was on his left arm, but they were all flesh wounds and not a serious matter.
"Ask Doctor Luo to come over. The seriously injured should rest here and don't move."
"The earth shook just now, and the people must be in a state of panic. Xu Sheng, go to the Goddess Temple and spread the news. Say that all the spies in the city have been wiped out, and the gods have sent down divine punishment, killing tens of thousands of Beirong people in an instant."
"With the protection of the gods, Pingyang City will be safe and sound."
