The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation
Chapter 428 Valley of Death
The soldiers of the Jin army looked up involuntarily, and saw that the towering peaks on both sides seemed to come alive. Countless huge rocks rolled down from the sky. Some were half a person's height and still small, while others were two or three meters high. They hit the cliffs with the force of thunder, rolling, roaring, and falling straight down.
This scene made the Jin army soldiers turn pale and terrified. They screamed and tried to escape, but the speed of the boulder was far beyond human power and it arrived in an instant.
Countless soldiers held their heads in their hands, screaming and wailing together, as they were mercilessly buried by the huge boulders.
There was no sound of armor and bones breaking in the air, only the deafening roar of huge rocks falling to the ground, the earth-shaking shock, and the blood gushing out from the cracks in the rocks.
Huge rocks poured down wave after wave, covering the bodies of the Jin soldiers layer by layer until they piled up into a five or six meter high stone mountain, completely blocking the exit of the valley.
Shen Gu, who was in the heart of the valley, finally realized the seriousness of the situation. They seemed to have fallen into an ambush by the enemy.
He urgently ordered the rear army to become the front army and the entire army retreated quickly, but unfortunately, it was too late.
There was another loud bang at the entrance of the valley. Huge rocks continued to pour down from the hills on both sides. Dust covered the sky and the sun. When the dust settled, the entrance was also firmly sealed by huge rocks.
The Jin army soldiers suddenly fell into despair. The exit was blocked, the entrance was sealed, and the 50,000-strong army was trapped in this narrow valley, with no way up to the sky and no door to the earth.
Just when they were at a loss, passionate trumpet sounds and deafening drum beats suddenly rang out from the mountaintops around the valley. Large yellow flags fluttered on the mountaintops, with the words "Hongxing" written on them in a flamboyant style, which was particularly eye-catching.
"It's the Hongxing Army!" The Jin army soldiers suddenly realized who their real opponent was.
However, this realization came too late. The Hongxing Army's rain of arrows had already poured down from the surrounding mountains like a dense forest and fell into the Jin Army camp...
There was an open area in the valley, with no cover or obstruction, and the Jin army had nowhere to hide.
Arrows from the Hongxing Army poured down from all directions. The Jin army seemed to be caught in an invisible net, completely exposed to the enemy's arrow formation.
The arrows were as dense as raindrops, and the Jin army soldiers fell down in groups. The wounded had no time to struggle before they were ruthlessly swallowed by the subsequent arrows.
This was not a battle on the battlefield, but a one-sided brutal massacre.
The Jin army did not fail to struggle. Their arrows tried their best to rise into the air, but like birds with broken wings, they could not even reach the halfway point of the mountain, and fell one after another, appearing so powerless.
On the other hand, the arrows of the Hongxing Army were like divine soldiers sent from heaven, piercing through the bodies of the Jin Army and demonstrating amazing power.
The archery skills of both sides may be comparable, but the difference in terrain becomes the decisive factor.
The Hongxing Army was in a dominant position, and their arrows carried the dual forces of gravity and speed, making them unstoppable; while the Jin Army was attacking from the bottom up, and the arrows were hindered by gravity. Even the best archers could hardly reach the top of the mountain, and their power was greatly reduced.
Looking at their own powerless arrow formation, the Jin army turned to a strategy of strong attack and attempted to climb the mountain. However, the Hongxing Army on the top of the mountain was well prepared. Huge rocks rolled and whistled on the hillside like meteorites from the sky. Wherever they passed, the Jin army soldiers were either killed or injured, and were ruthlessly smashed down by the huge rocks.
At the foot of the mountain, corpses piled up like mountains and blood gathered into a river.
Seeing that his own side suffered heavy casualties, Shen Gu resolutely led thousands of Jin soldiers and fought their way out of a bloody path under the dense arrows of the Hongxing Army.
When they finally stumbled to the entrance of the valley and looked back, the thousands of Jin soldiers had been reduced to just over a thousand.
At the entrance, there were huge rocks like mountains. Shen Gu's eyes were like torches, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, follow me and climb over!"
Before he finished speaking, there were bursts of heroic laughter from the boulder: "Sorry, this road is blocked!"
Looking up, I saw hundreds of Hongxing soldiers on the top of the boulder, and the three generals Zhang Liao, Wang Qiang and Xiao Si were standing in front of the formation.
Shen Gu saw this, his eyes widened with anger, and shouted at the soldiers beside him: "Charge!"
Upon hearing this, a Jin army general climbed up the pile of rocks with a knife in hand without hesitation.
However, his climbing speed was far slower than his falling speed, and the crossbows of the Hongxing Army were like a torrential rain, ruthlessly shooting him down.
The armor on his body clinked from the impact of the crossbow arrows, and some arrows even penetrated the gaps in the armor and impaled him all over.
When he fell, his body was already riddled with wounds, and he was only twitching slightly before returning to silence.
Seeing this scene, Shen Gu's eyes turned red, and he roared and struggled to climb up the pile of rocks, followed closely by the Jin army soldiers.
The Hongxing Army was on high alert, with crossbow arrows raining down like rain, and the brave warriors worked together to push the huge rocks, which rolled down. Screams and wails were heard from the people on the pile of rocks, and the Jin army soldiers fell one after another.
However, Shen Gu's cultivation was not weak. He passed through the forest of arrows by himself and finally reached the pile of rocks.
As soon as he stepped onto the pile of rocks, a black knife came towards him. Shen Gu reacted quickly and held the knife horizontally in an instant. The two blades collided with each other, making a crisp symphony of "clang". He barely blocked the knife, and before he could catch his breath, another black knife followed him on the right side, heading straight for his vital point under his ribs.
Shen Gu roared and retreated violently, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but his left side was hit by the blade again.
Zhang Liao, Wang Qiang, and Xiao Si, three brothers who grew up together, now each brandished a black sword in their hands and launched an airtight siege on Shen Gu.
Their coordination was perfect, and each of their strikes was aimed precisely at Shen Gu's vital points, making it impossible for him to defend himself.
Shen Gu was caught in a dilemma amid the flashing swords and sabers, and could only barely defend himself. He had no time to fight back and the situation was precarious.
Just when Shen Gu was exhausted from dealing with the attacks and was almost crushed by them, a cold arrow came from the side like a ghost and pointed directly at his temple.
Shen Gu was horrified, but he could only try his best, bending down and trying to avoid the fatal arrow.
However, the arrow seemed to have a spirit and changed its trajectory according to his movements, falling suddenly and piercing deeply into the back of his shoulder.
Shen Gu cried out in pain and fell forward involuntarily. Even though he was injured by the black arrow, his fighting spirit was still strong. He lay on the ground and swung his sword suddenly, chopping at Zhang Liao's ankle.
Seeing this, Zhang Liao jumped up, easily avoided Shen Gu's counterattack, and took the opportunity to chop him down hard.
Although Shen Gu was exhausted, he still fought desperately. The two swords collided with each other, making a deafening roar that hurt the eardrums of the surrounding Hong Xingjun.
At the same time, a strong gust of air swept out, knocking dozens of soldiers off the top of the pile of rocks.
The huge rock under Shen Gu cracked under the huge force, and blood slowly flowed out through the gaps in his armor.
A fierce look flashed in Zhang Liao's eyes, and he swung the black sword again, determined to kill Shen Gu in one fell swoop.
Shen Gu knew that he was no longer able to fight back, so he could only rely on his survival instinct to roll backwards and fall from the top of the pile of rocks.
As soon as he landed on the ground, another black arrow came towards him with a sharp whistling sound.
Shen Gu subconsciously swung his knife, but did not even touch the edge of the black arrow. The black arrow suddenly sank and pierced deeply into his lower abdomen.
Shen Gu's body trembled violently, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes. He turned around abruptly and looked around. All he saw were the corpses of Jin army soldiers, piled up layer by layer, covering the entire land.
Witnessing this scene, tears couldn't help but flow down his cheeks, and endless sorrow surged in his heart.
Fifty thousand brothers are trapped in this valley of despair, and they will all die in the end.
The brutality of this war was unprecedented, and he was the initiator of all these tragedies.
Thinking of this, his heart was broken. He looked up to the sky and howled, shouting at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all his pain and self-blame.
