Leng Aofu pondered this in her heart, but because the idea was so audacious, she wanted to deny it. But what else could Chen Xi do besides set fire to the flint and steel?
Chenxi replied with a smile, "When they try to climb down, just set them on fire and burn them to death."
When they were halfway up the cliff, they set it on fire. Not only would those on the vines be unable to escape, but those on the cliff top would also be unable to escape.
This forest is completely dry; if it catches fire, it will be burned into a sea of flames.
At that time, the bottom of the cliff in Chenxi was the safest place in this mountain forest.
However, if the other party is clever enough to guess her thoughts and doesn't send anyone down but instead retreats, Shenxi will also set fire. As long as they don't come down then, and Shenxi sets fire again, it will be very difficult for them to retreat.
Shenxi had retreated to the middle of the basin, but looking up, he couldn't see the specific situation on the cliff top. It was covered by vines and trees, and unless the other side came down halfway, Shenxi couldn't tell if they had arrived.
Chenxi asked the guards who had just scouted the area, "Could you see the top of this cliff from over there?"
Several guards shook their heads: "There are quite a few trees on the cliff top. If the other side doesn't deliberately expose themselves, we won't be able to see them clearly."
Therefore, the timing for setting a fire is when the other party is halfway down. If the other party really doesn't climb down, someone still needs to be sent up to check.
As Shenxi ran into the forest, he was thinking that if the other side couldn't find them, they would definitely set the mountain on fire. So if it weren't for this basin where nothing grows, Shenxi would never have stayed in the forest for long.
Without this basin, Chenxi could only rely on the local villagers' familiarity with the area to conduct flanking maneuvers, launch surprise attacks, and try to buy more time with minimal casualties while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
But it won't be in the dense forest; you can go to the rocky hills where there aren't many trees.
