"General, victory is assured!"
"Haha, in that case, General Yan Rou's kind words will be appreciated! The people of Xu Family Village will have to be protected by your cavalry. Farewell!"
Yan Rou nodded, watching the legion that had repeatedly created miracles leave.
And he also knew that in the near future...
They will surely continue to create miracles!
Soon after, Lü Bu's camp also received a messenger from Zhao Hao, instructing them to march to the designated location.
Although the He brothers knew that Lü Bu had arrived near their main camp, they did not react.
Their stronghold had been built over many years, and with its strategic location, they didn't even consider Lu Bu's small force a threat.
In December, Lü Bu's army finally received Zhao Hao's second messenger.
"General Fengxian, a letter has arrived from the Duke of Qin. Once the signals are synchronized, we can begin the operation!"
Lü Bu nodded emphatically, "Please inform the Duke of Qin that Fengxian understands!"
Soon, around the mountains where He Yi and He Man's bandit army was stationed, countless soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms were gradually climbing forward.
Under the cover of night, it would be difficult to spot these people by moonlight alone.
biu~
The first firework to rise was a plain blue one.
Inside the Yellow Turban rebels' stronghold, they initially thought this was a signal that the government troops were about to launch an attack.
However, when they checked the area around the village entrance, they couldn't find a single person.
As the second firework rose into the sky, the people in the village began to vaguely sense that something was wrong.
The shape of the fireworks in the sky... was actually an arrow!
boom!
In an instant, countless rockets rained down from the sky, continuously shooting towards the Yellow Turban village inside the mountains.
One wall of fire after another was set off not only inside the mountain stronghold, but also outside the stronghold, layer upon layer of circular fire walls were constantly rising!
"Ah!! Help!"
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
"It's so hot, I'm burning up!"
From within the mountains, painful wails echoed continuously.
Moreover, although the barrage of rockets has stopped, the Qin arrow formation will not end so quickly.
After the rockets, Zhao Hao's men, positioned on the sidelines of the battlefield, used several powerful crossbows to continuously hurl oil canisters into the mountain stronghold.
Putting out the fire? Easier said than done!
"Holy Maiden, please cast your spell, or we will all be burned to death!"
"Your Holiness, we brothers beg you!"
Even if they didn't ask the woman for help, she was still prepared to help.
She racked her brains but couldn't fathom how Zhao Hao could actually start a raging fire in the freezing cold!
"Enough said. This holy maiden will now go to the altar to perform the ritual. Two divine envoys, organize the soldiers to protect the ritual!"
"yes!"
In the center of the village, the woman had already built a ground with the Bagua Yin-Yang fish and the sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines of the I Ching carved on it.
Countless rare and precious materials were placed around the altar by the woman in strange arrangements.
"The Supreme Star Platform, responding without ceasing..."
The woman murmured inexplicable decrees, while the rare and precious materials placed there still emitted a pale blue glow.
Against the backdrop of the orange-yellow flames, the scene possessed an eerie beauty.
"Rain, fall!"
Soon, these halos gathered at the woman's brow, flowed within her body, and gradually moved to her fingertips.
As the woman bit her fingertip and dripped her blood onto the center of the altar, a beam of blue light shot straight into the sky, causing the world to tremble slightly.
Splash...
"It's raining! We're saved!"
"Haha, it's raining! It's really raining!"
The appearance of rain undoubtedly brought instant joy to the Yellow Turbans.
However, they became truly anxious when they realized that the rain could not extinguish the flames.
"Your Holiness, could you please increase the rainfall?"
"Yes, ordinary rain can't extinguish these towering flames!"
Upon hearing this, the woman cried out in distress, for the affairs of the world were never as simple as they made them out to be.
She was just taking a shortcut this time; this moderate rain will only last for a quarter of an hour at most.
If they cannot extinguish the flames within a quarter of an hour, then they will have no choice but to accept their fate!
“I am powerless. Do you really think that communicating with heaven and earth is such an easy thing?”
If it were that simple, I would have done it long ago... and my father wouldn't have suffered such a terrible price.
puff...
The next moment, drops of crimson blood dripped from the corner of the woman's mouth.
This is the price of using magic; even with the assistance of many rare and precious materials, it still requires consuming the caster's life force.
"Big brother! What should we do?!"
As the rain intensified, the He brothers grew anxious.
If the fire is allowed to burn any longer, they will either die or suffer serious injuries!
"There's no other way... organize the brothers who can still move."
We're preparing to break out!
"good!"
Their only hope of survival was to fight their way out.
Zhao Hao dared to set the mountain on fire, which means he never intended to recruit their hundreds of thousands of people.
Therefore, women who naively dream of being recruited and surrendered by Zhao Hao are of no value to them.
"Kill them!"
"Charge!!"
Before long, the He brothers organized more than 5,000 fearless soldiers and charged out towards the wall of fire, facing Lu Bu's army that was blocking the mountain gate.
"Hmph, Imperial Guards archers, fire straight!"
The army of Prince Liu Chong of Chen had long been ready to march.
Just as Zhao Hao had predicted, although these thieves possessed sorcery, they were absolutely unable to break free from Zhao Hao's scorching flames.
"Hehe, lads of Xiliang, don't just stand there! Let the Duke of Qin know that we are not only skilled in mounted combat, but also in infantry spear and shield formations!"
