Chapter 1707: 832 Executing the Rebels! (Part 1)_2

Li Jin pressed his ear to the ground. Suddenly, he felt the vibrations on the slope of the mountain. Someone was coming!

To be precise, a large contingent of troops was arriving!

Li Jin mimicked a cuckoo’s call, and Tong Zhong responded with two calls. Both sides reached an understanding and raised their right hands simultaneously.

The sound of hooves approached from afar, mixed with the clashing of armor, infusing the silent mountain range with an air of bloody battle.

The moonlight tonight was quite fine.

Armor reflected the cold light, and the deep sound of hooves echoed through the valley.

They were approaching the canyon.

Ten zhang... seven zhang... five zhang...

Li Jin suddenly pressed his hand down, "Drop!"

The more than twenty cavalrymen behind him pried with their wooden sticks, sending massive boulders tumbling down.

The boulders rolled thunderously down the rugged mountainside, creating a sound like thunder, smashing into the Nangong rebels in the canyon, throwing their formation into disarray.

Screams of agony intermingled and rose in succession.

Tong Zhong was not to be outdone; he fiercely ignited the trenches behind him, "Fire the arrows!"

The Hei Feng Camp demanded the highest standards from its soldiers, with the most comprehensive training, excelling not only in horseback combat but also in infantry fighting and archery tactics.

Their arrowheads were coated with oil, which, when ignited in the trench fires, blazed fiercely and were shot overwhelmingly at the rebels in the canyon.

The rebels could almost offer no resistance and toppled over en masse.

The deputy general was stunned.

Even though he understood they were here to face death, he hadn’t expected to die so quickly!

Whiz! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

An arrow swiftly shot towards him, causing the deputy general to lean back in avoidance, the arrow grazing past his nose.

The heat of the oil lingered near his nose, and he broke out in a cold sweat!

But... they couldn’t retreat!

He gripped the reins tightly and drew the sword from his waist, "Charge! Kill them!"

There was limited space on the mountaintop, not enough for everyone to hide and ambush, and the main force of the Hei Feng Camp was surely hidden ahead in the canyon. If they could just charge through, they could engage in combat! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Boulders and logs continued to fall from the canyon’s peaks, and the oil-coated arrows set the entire canyon ablaze. The Nangong rebels lost more than half their forces charging through the canyon.
