Chapter 214
"Haha, warriors of the Qiang tribe, follow me and spurr your horses, trample the dust of Guanzhong, and let our war songs resound through the sky!"
The voice of the mad lion was like thunder, echoing on the vast plains, and the warhorse under his crotch was like black lightning in the wind, galloping wantonly.
Liu Yao deliberately drove the black armored heavy cavalry, shuttling around the edge of the battlefield like a dragon playing in the water.
Every time, he cleverly hovered on the edge of the Qiang people's bow and arrow range, but at the critical moment, he suddenly accelerated, leaving a string of provocative dust, making the Qiang people's cavalry angry, but helpless.
The mad lion waved his saber and shouted loudly:
"My men! Look at me! The one in front holding a spear and wearing a black cloak is Liu Yao! Whoever can capture this man! This chief will reward him with a thousand taels of gold!"
"Ah!!!"
When the Qiang cavalry heard that the reward was as high as a thousand taels of gold, all of them accelerated. If they could really get such a generous reward, he and his family would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives!
Liu Yao led the heavy cavalry in black armor, like a golden torrent, and rushed into the deep and narrow canyon of Yixiantian without hesitation. The sound of horse hooves roared, shaking the valley and echoing with magnificent momentum.
The Qiang vanguard followed closely behind, with fanaticism and greed in their eyes. Their fighting spirit had been completely ignited by blood, and every heart was beating wildly because of the glory that was about to be touched.
In their minds, this was not just a battle, but also a shortcut to supreme glory, a great feat that would go down in history. How could they let it slip through their fingers so easily?
"Chase! Chase! We have tens of thousands of troops, so why should we be afraid!" Chief Crazy Lion kept roaring.
However, at this critical moment, an elite scout under the command of the high priest came in like a gust of wind, and his figure was particularly eye-catching on the battlefield. He interrupted the fierce duel that was about to break out with the urgent order of the high priest.
"Chief Crazy Lion, wait!" The scout was panting, but every word was clear, "The high priest has ordered our army to stop the pursuit immediately and not to go deep without authorization!"
The Crazy Lion suddenly swung his knife like lightning, and a cold light flashed. The scout fell to the ground in response, leaving only a look of astonishment in the dust.
"Chiefs, have you ever heard that the high priest has sent scouts here?" His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the empty camp, with unquestionable majesty.
All around, the chiefs looked at each other and shook their heads. If any of them dared to say no now, their fate would be the same as the scout just now.
"Brothers!"
The mad lion suddenly raised his voice, full of excitement and temptation.
"Heaven-sent opportunity, unparalleled merit is waiting for us to pick! Once we seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the fertile land of Guanzhong will be our common home! Our children, our brothers, will bid farewell to the wandering nomadic life and enjoy peace and prosperity!"
"Everyone, listen to my command! Get ready immediately and chase at full speed! Let the sound of our horse's hooves be the prelude to victory, and let the enemy's land tremble under our iron hooves!"
The front army of the Qiang people immediately began to rush towards the narrow canyon.
Since the Yixiantian Canyon is too narrow, at most four people can pass through it side by side.
On the cliffs on both sides, Le Jin and Li Si squinted their eyes and looked at the Qiang army galloping below.
"Li Si! You will block the rear of the Qiang later! At that time, your Modao team only needs to guard the narrow entrance of the canyon. With the assisting Xuanjia heavy cavalry in front, the Qiang people will definitely not escape!"
"Just wait and see!"
After saying this, Li Si hurriedly asked his soldiers to start putting on armor.
Le Jin looked at the cliff edge filled with dense tung oil, firewood and other flammable materials, and waved to the soldiers around him.
The soldiers waiting at both ends of the canyon took the lead and threw a large amount of tung oil and rolling logs and other flammable materials down.
Then the infantry on both sides of the cliff held oil cans in their hands and kept throwing them down.
The marching Kuangshi and others were also startled by this move.
"Oh no! We're ambushed!! The front army becomes the rear army! Retreat immediately!"
The mad lion looked at the tung oil and firewood that covered the ground, and his whole body was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Once the Han army used fire attack on them, they would really become roasted whole lambs today.
"Hahaha! Qiang people below! The weather is cold, and my master is kind-hearted. Today, he specially asked us to keep you warm!"
After Le Jin said this, he threw the torch down the valley.
The surrounding archers saw the signal and aimed at the ground and Qiang soldiers below.Start shooting.
"Ah! Help!!!"
"Run!"
The screams of the Qiang people were endless. Some Qiang soldiers were wrapped in flames and kept rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames.
Almost instantly, the fire walls at both ends of the canyon were formed instantly. The several-meter-high fire waves made the Han army on the cliff sweat profusely.
The high priest in the rear army was sweating all over after seeing the raging flames.
"Didn't I send out scouts to ask the Mad Lion to stop the attack? Trash! An incompetent general! A drag on the whole army!"
The chieftain on the side saw the several-meter-high fire wave and asked in panic:
"High Priest, what should we do now!"
"Hmph! Order the follow-up troops! Immediately! Now! Go find water and sand! Put out the fire! As long as we can open the passage, the Mad Lion and his men can get out alive!"
On the other side, the trapped Mad Lion looked at the raging fire waves around him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Quick! Everyone! Retreat to the rear immediately! There is the High Priest's army behind us, and he will definitely try his best to put out the fire!"
"Hahahaha! Li Si! Here! Today I want to see! Who dares to step forward and die!"
At this moment, in front of the fire wave, Li Si stood at the entrance of the canyon with a naked upper body, holding a Mo Dao in his hand. Behind him were thousands of Mo Dao troops, who were waiting in full battle array.
The Qiang troops under the high priest's command, when they saw that it was Li Si who was personally leading the battle, all of them were a little afraid and dared not move forward. They had not forgotten the previous scene.
The leader of these heavily armored infantrymen chopped the mad bull and his mount in half with one sword.
The high priest personally ordered the supervisory team to start to move forward to support the battle.
"Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed immediately!"
"Anyone who can cut off the head of the naked general will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold by me! And I will also make this person one of the successors of the high priest!"
