Chapter 264 Escape
The setting sun shone on the mountain ranges and the sky gradually darkened. At this time, the Dongyue army marched to Hengling, which was only one day's away from Dongmen Pass.
It had been three days since the Dongyue Army set out from Liangcheng to arrive here. Seeing that it was getting dark, Su Yuntian ordered them to rest in this valley for one night and then prepare to attack the East Gate of Southern Shu the next day.
To be honest, this valley surrounded by mountains on all sides is the least suitable place for the army to set up camp. If the enemy appears and attacks from all sides, the army camped in the valley will be like trapped beasts and can only be slaughtered at will.
But Su Yuntian was such an arrogant and conceited person. He held the most powerful gunpowder in the world in his hands, and Liangmen Pass was taken back by him effortlessly. At this moment, he felt that he was the only one who could dominate everything in the world, and he did not take anyone seriously at all.
However, not long after the East Vietnamese army set up camp, a huge explosion sounded throughout the valley.
At this time, someone hurried forward to report: "Your Majesty, there was an explosion in the southern military camp. The power was very strong, killing and injuring countless soldiers."
Su Yuntian was furious: "Aren't the military explosives placed in the western gunpowder team? How come they appeared in the south and exploded?"
Before the soldier who came forward to report could reply, explosions were heard one after another from the east, north and south, followed by the painful howls of the soldiers in the East Vietnamese camp.
The Dongyue army stationed there began to wait and see, not knowing what was happening. Then there were several more loud bangs.
At this time, Dongyue General Xiao Chuan stepped forward with a serious expression and said, "The gunpowder is kept in the west, but now there are explosions in different places at the same time. The situation must be unusual. It is very likely that Nanshu is behind this. There may be spies in the enemy army who have taken our gunpowder and are launching a counterattack against us."
Su Yuntian glared at Xiao Chuan with anger in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Chuan alive. He said word by word: "Investigate for me! Find those people for me."
The explosion of gunpowder ignited the East Vietnamese military camp and the surrounding trees, and a raging fire broke out. Combined with the East Vietnamese soldiers fleeing everywhere, the scene was horrifying.
Su Yuntian's brows were filled with hostility.
Xiao Chuan ran a few steps and then retreated back to Su Yuntian.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now? If such a big fire ignites the surrounding trees, our army will be trapped deep in the hinterland and unable to escape the sea of fire!"
Su Yuntian raised his arm and pointed forward, shouting, "Get the men out of the valley first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light flashed across the dark sky and fell into the middle of the army. A moment later, another violent explosion sounded.
By the light of the fire, he saw countless soldiers being blown into the sky and then falling heavily to the ground.
The explosives ignited the clothes of the surrounding soldiers. The soldiers whose bodies were burned struggled, screamed, ran wildly, and rolled low in the fire, but they could only ignite their companions. Soon, more and more East Vietnamese soldiers were burned by the fire.
Moreover, the wind was particularly strong tonight, and the flames ignited the soldiers one by one and burned wildly. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of burnt flesh.
The horses were frightened by the flames rising into the sky and they kicked their hooves in place, refusing to move forward a single step.
Su Yuntian rode his horse and looked up at the top of the mountain, his expression suddenly changed.
The valley was instantly filled with Nanshu soldiers holding torches. Although he couldn't see who was leading them because of the distance, he had a vague feeling that those people were related to the Mu family army.
After all, they came from behind them. Except for the Southern Shu troops that Mu Yan took away from Liangcheng before they arrived at Liangmen Pass that day, it was impossible for the troops from Southern Shu to appear in this place.
Obviously Xiao Chuan and many Dong Yue soldiers saw it, and they also discovered something that terrified them, that is, the Southern Shu army also had gunpowder, and could launch gunpowder to attack them from a long distance, which was much more powerful than their Dong Yue gunpowder.
Now, the Dongyue army became even more chaotic. They fled in all directions, their horses were frightened, and the whole place was in chaos.
Su Yuntian's slightly narrowed eyes were as cold as ice. The soldiers fleeing in front of him included those from Dongyue and those sent by Beiqi to be used by him. But no matter where the soldiers were from, in his eyes they were like the bow and arrow in his hand. They were nothing but useful for killing people.
He always felt that as long as he had gunpowder in his hands, there would be no city that he could not capture, and victory was right in front of him, so how could he be willing to admit defeat?
Su Yuntian rode on his horse and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Don't run! Shoot rockets at the mountain for me!"
But at this time, the East Vietnamese army was in chaos, with wailing everywhere. The soldiers had already paid no attention to orders and discipline, and retreated to the small roads in all directions to escape. No one listened to Su Yuntian's orders.
Su Yuntian was furious. He reined in his horse, drew his sword, and killed the Dong Yue deserters who passed by him one by one.
He thought that after breaking through the East Gate of Southern Shu tomorrow and taking over Southern Shu, and then turning around to destroy Beiqi and then Xiliang, he, Su Yuntian, would become the greatest king in the world.
But this unexpected change tonight made the entire East Vietnam army like a plate of sand, scattered everywhere when the wind blew.
He was so conceited that day that when he learned that Mu Yan had escaped from Liangmen Pass with the Southern Shu army, he felt that Mu Yan was not a threat at all, so he did not send anyone to pursue him.
Su Yuntian exuded a terrifying aura. He roared at the Southern Shu army on the top of the mountain, "Mu Yan! But you? I underestimated you, a piece of trash."
The guards around Su Yuntian protected his safety and said, "Your Majesty, let's retreat first!"
Another explosion sounded a few feet away from Su Yuntian, causing him to fall off his horse. If the guards had not protected him in time, the horse would have been frightened and raised its front hooves, almost trampling him.
The guards escorted Su Yuntian and planned to flee to a small mountain path ahead. Su Yuntian never thought that he would have to flee in such a panic one day.
The mountain road was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell the direction. Su Yuntian's guards could only run quickly around Su Yuntian.
Just as they were running, a group of people holding torches suddenly came towards them. Even though he couldn't see who they were, Su Yuntian knew that those who could block their way so calmly could only be his enemy.
He stopped and the guards around him drew their swords and blocked his way. At that moment, Su Yuntian suddenly saw the man in the lead with a defiant smile on his face.
Standing side by side with that man were Mu Jin and Mu Yan.
Su Yuntian slowly walked forward and gnashed his teeth with the man, saying, "You are not dead yet!"
Su Yi smiled provocatively and said, "I haven't found the time to marry Ah Jin yet, so how can I bear to die?"
Su Yuntian held the sword tightly in one hand and clenched his fist with the other. He stared at the front and said fiercely: "Su, Yi!"
