"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion resounded through the clouds. At that moment, everyone fell into a temporary deaf state due to the loud sound. Then, under everyone's horrified gaze, the cliffs on both sides of the canyon collapsed.
"Rumble!"
Huge rocks mixed with soil fell from the sky, and smoke and dust covered the sky. The ground within a radius of dozens of miles shook like waves, and the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. This was a real landslide. If one did not see it with their own eyes, no one could describe how spectacular this scene was.
After a long time, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated. Everyone looked over and saw that the middle of the canyon had been completely blocked by countless boulders and soil. The height was thousands of feet, and even a peak Houtian expert could not cross it.
"Who can tell me what's going on?”
"Oh my god, why did this happen all of a sudden? What happened?"
" It's over, it's over. We're trapped here to death…"
……
The sudden landslide caused everyone to fall into endless panic, especially when they saw that Chu Li had blocked their escape route. Everyone panicked and panicked.
"Shut up!"
At this moment, a thunderous roar exploded in everyone's ears. It was as if there was some kind of magic. With this shout, the originally panicked crowd immediately calmed down involuntarily. Suddenly, everyone turned to look at the person who shouted-Chu Ming!
Furious, furious!
At this moment, Chu Ming was about to reach the limit of his anger. He had never thought that Liu Yong would be so ruthless. In order to get rid of him, he was even willing to sacrifice the entire lieutenant camp. He was simply heartless and crazy. Despite all his defenses, he was still tricked by that despicable and shameless thing.
However, no matter how angry he was, Chu Ming didn't lose his mind. He knew very well that things had come to this point, and anger could not solve any problems. Now that there was no way out, the only thing he could do now was to quickly retreat from the other end of the valley before the main force of the Gale Empire's grain transport troops arrived. Otherwise, if he was half a step late and was surrounded by the enemy's large forces, there would really be no way out.
"The situation is very obvious now!" Chu Ming glanced at the officers with a dark expression and said sternly,"That heartless lieutenant of yours has already treated all of you as abandoned pawns. If you still want to live, from now on, listen to my orders and immediately retreat from the other end of the canyon!”After saying that, he didn't even look at the reactions of the Commandant Battalion. He waved his hand and led the members of the Dare-to-die Battalion to the entrance of the canyon.
" Brothers, Lord Chu is right. That f * cking Liu Yong has already abandoned us. Now, we can only survive if we follow Lord Chu…"
"Yes, follow Lord Chu…"
"Go, go quickly…"
……
The officers weren't fools, and they immediately understood what was going on. Immediately, in order to save their lives, they followed the members of the daring death camp without hesitation.
Unfortunately, everyone was still a step too late.
rumble ~~~
Just as they were two thousand feet away from the valley entrance, a series of violent tremors came from the front.
"Damn it, how did he get here so quickly!”
Chu Ming stopped and looked into the distance with an ugly expression. Countless shadows were rapidly approaching. Even from so far away, he could feel the ground shaking in that direction. From this, one could imagine how shocking the enemy's numbers were.
"Milord, what should we do? The people from the Gale Empire are here!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Ming again. At this moment, he had become the backbone of everyone present, including the 1,000-man lieutenant camp.
"The enemy has a large number of cavalry. If we force ourselves to retreat now, we will only die faster. Don't be anxious for the time being.”Chu Ming said calmly. It was obviously not wise to fight head-on against the enemy's army of more than ten thousand with just a thousand people. Fortunately, the terrain here was narrow and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although the enemy had a large number of people, with the excellent geographical advantage, it would be difficult for the enemy to attack in a short period of time.
In fact, with Chu Ming's current strength, he could easily escape even if the number of enemies doubled. However, if he left, 90% of the remaining 1,000 people would probably die here. He didn't care about the people from the lieutenant camp. If they died, so be it. He didn't have to take it to heart. However, he couldn't bring himself to abandon these two hundred people from the daring death camp.
Although Chu Ming was usually cold and ruthless, he was a responsible person. His ruthlessness was mostly directed at his enemies. He could not abandon these daring death camp members who had long listened to him and were completely convinced like Liu Yong.
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing Chu Ming's order, the group immediately took up a favorable position at the entrance of the canyon and formed a defensive formation. Everyone present was a veteran who had experienced many battlefields. They naturally understood the basic principle of not leaving one's back to the cavalry on the battlefield. Although guarding here was not a long-term solution, it was better than running away and being chased to death by the enemy cavalry.
Very soon, the Gale Empire's grain transport troops finally arrived at the entrance of the canyon. The two armies were facing each other three thousand feet away.
"Good heavens, there are three to four thousand cavalrymen and more than ten thousand infantrymen. If we were to fight head-on, a single charge would be enough to wipe us out!”Looking at the dense group of Gale soldiers in the distance, everyone felt a little heavy in their hearts.
"You dare to set up an ambush here with just a thousand soldiers? You guys are really bold!”At this moment, the cavalry column in front of Gale Empire suddenly opened up a path in the middle. A middle-aged general with a black face and no beard, wearing a green chain armor, slowly stepped forward on a warhorse as tall as a man. Needless to say, this person was undoubtedly the leader of this Gale troop.
His cold gaze swept across everyone at the entrance of the canyon. The general said coldly,"I'll give you ten breaths of time to surrender immediately. This way, I'll let you live. Otherwise, after ten breaths, I'll kill you all without mercy!”
"There's no need for ten breaths. If you have the guts, just charge over!”Chu Ming's expression was cold and emotionless.
"Very good!" The general narrowed his eyes and shot out a cold light."Looks like you've chosen death. Archers, get ready!”
As he spoke, the general raised his right hand and a group of soldiers holding longbows and carrying quivers on their backs lined up from behind.
"Be careful!" Seeing this, Chu Ming immediately shouted.
"Shoot!"
With this order, nearly a thousand archers immediately nocked their arrows.
"Swoosh swoosh…"
In the next moment, arrows rained down on everyone at the entrance of the canyon. Fortunately, there were many strange rocks in the canyon, and there were many places to hide from the arrows. After a round of arrows, except for a few unlucky lieutenant camp soldiers who were directly hit in the vital parts, most of the people and the members of the daring death camp were not injured. As for Chu Ming, he was completely unharmed. With his strength, only those giant ballista arrows used to attack cities could threaten him. Ordinary arrows like these wouldn't cause much damage even if they hit him.
"Kill them!"
While everyone was dodging the rain of arrows, thousands of heavily armored infantrymen rushed over like a tide, followed by a team of archers. The terrain in the canyon was very narrow. Under such circumstances, the cavalry's most powerful charge could not be used at all. Instead, it was better to use the heavy infantry to directly attack.
"You guys guard the rear carefully. I'll be back soon!”Chu Ming said coldly.
"Yes, my lord!" Everyone accepted the order in unison, but there was a trace of doubt on their faces. What was this Lord Chu going to do?
"Sou!"
In the next second, Chu Ming leaped up and shot forward like a sharp arrow. After landing on the ground, he strode toward the Gale Empire's main force. His target was the Gale Empire's commander.
"Hmph, you want to capture the leader first? What a joke. Do you think you're an innate expert?”The Gale Lord instantly saw through Chu Ming's intentions and sneered,""Kill him first!"
Chu Ming was expressionless as he faced Ma Dafeng's soldiers. Just as the Gale Empire's general had expected, he indeed wanted to capture the leader first. This was the only way he could think of at the moment. Otherwise, there would be no chance of winning this battle.
"Kill them!"
After receiving the order from their commander, the Gale soldiers brandished their weapons and charged at Chu Ming.
Chu Mingshan's eyes were cold and sharp as he stared at the Gale General. The halberd in his hand finally moved.
Back then, hundreds of fearless members of the Dare-to-die Camp could not do anything to him, so how could these ordinary soldiers hurt him at all? Chu Ming activated his Qi Gathering and swung the halberd with one hand.
" Warrior Skill-Half Moon Slash!"
"Chi la, chi la…"
The terrifying curved blade of light shot out, and the Gale soldiers in front of Chu Ming were all sent flying, covered in blood. The soldiers of Gale were cut apart like waves, and Chu Ming was like a warship that was breaking through the waves, unstoppable!
"Good fellow, you have some ability!”Gale Lord's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. He waved his right hand and said,""Cavalry, attack! Lock him down with your chain hammers!”
"Sure-kill skill-Double Stab!"
Chu Ming charged forward like a hedgehog with spears all over his body. All the Gale soldiers that he bumped into were sent flying, leaving a huge bloody hole in them. No one could stop him. In less than a moment, he had actually managed to cut a bloody path through the heavy infantrymen at the front and arrived at the archers at the back. The long halberd was swung repeatedly, and another wave of miserable screams rang out…
