Chapter 377 Explosive Barrel
When it comes to female heroes in martial arts novels, they are either gentle and graceful or generous, and they can also be quirky and quirky. In short, they are as pleasing as they come.
But no matter what, there is no heroine who is tougher than a tough guy. It is no longer a problem for Yang Yiyi to put on armor and play Mulan.
It is obvious that Yang Yiyi is the kind of cute character who loves people, whether it is her name or her appearance. She has become like this now. I don’t know whether it is because of her nature or because of some deviation in Li Chengqi’s training... …
Putting aside this matter, Li Chengqi asked Yang Yiyi to chase her, but also asked her not to chase her so closely. It seemed like he wanted to let the members of the Sirius Sect go, but he contradicted what he had said before.
In fact, there is no contradiction. The purpose of using all his strength is to let Yang Yiyi show his deterrence. The purpose of using Tiger Roar Kung Fu is to scare away the people of the Tianlang Cult.
As long as they run away, Yang Yiyi will have a legitimate reason to chase them. Don't forget that there are many knights and knights around. If Yang Yiyi abandons them for no reason, it will inevitably spread in the world that Yang Yiyi fled in fear of fighting. The gossip comes.
But Li Chengqi's purpose in letting Yang Yiyi come was not to fight these miscellaneous soldiers. He had to have a reasonable reason to escape.
Naturally, you have to chase, but you can’t chase too closely.
Yang Yiyi was very obedient and chased after her. She was also self-taught. From time to time, she picked up a stone or something and smashed it. This made the members of the Sirius Sect who were leading the race run even more happily. Look, how happy they are. Howled...
After chasing after a corner blocked by a lot of vegetation, and confirming that the people behind him could no longer see Yang Yiyi, Li Chengqi said: "Stop chasing, go to the woods, there are still ways to go up there. cliff."
Yang Yiyi immediately braked and turned. The Tianlang Cult members in the lead didn't know that Yang Yiyi had left yet, so they still ran happily.
It didn't matter what happened to them. Yang Yiyi got into the woods and quickly found another rock wall according to Li Chengqi's instructions. She took out the climbing rope again and continued to climb while tying the rope.
The reason why we don't take the mountain road is also related to the fact that people from the Sirius Sect will rush down to stop these knights from time to time. They always pester Yang Yiyi. Even if he is a superman, there will be times when his physical strength is exhausted, and he will no longer be able to reach the sky. Stone.
Because it was a straight up and down mountain wall, no one passed by at all. After the bundle of ropes was almost used, Yang Yiyi climbed to about two-thirds of the entire mountain, and then went up to the top of the mountain.
In fact, there is no need to go to the top of the mountain. After all, the goal is the stronghold of the Sirius Sect, and we are not here to climb the mountain.
At this time, Yang Yiyi could already see the light emitted by the large torch, and the light source of the torch was stable. It didn't look like it was being held by someone. It should be a torch inserted near the stronghold.
This also means that we are almost there.
Yang Yiyi, who had just come up, was about to cover up the traces of the rope, when Li Chengqi added: "Take a few steps to the left, yes, behind the trees."
Yang Yi followed the words and walked forward. Not far away, she kicked a wooden object with her toes. She reached out and touched in the bushes and found that it was a large wooden barrel half a person's height.
"Throw it down."
"What's this?"
"Throw it away first and then talk."
The barrel was quite heavy. I didn't know what was in it. Yang Yiyi threw it hard with both hands and dropped the barrel off the cliff.
Almost at the same time, Yang Yiyi, who was in the dark woods, saw a string of bright firelights burning down from above as if they were moving.
"Back up! Go back under the rock depression you came up from!"
Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengqi's urgent voice and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she hurried back.
As soon as he squatted down, he heard a loud bang from the distance, and then the loud noise exploded like a continuous spring thunder, and even the feet could feel the vibration.
Following the loud noise, there was a fuzzy rumbling sound, as if a dragon was getting up and rolling from the mountain. It was too dark to see clearly, but it was also vaguely visible that the trees and rocks in the distance seemed to be moving, and moving along the steep slope. The hillside rolled down. After a while, the loud noise stopped, and Yang Yiyi let go of her covered ears.
"Brother Li, what happened?"
"It was an explosive barrel that exploded. It should have been arranged in advance by people from the Sirius Sect."
It is very advantageous to stay close to the mountains. The mountain roads are difficult to walk and the terrain is complex, just like a natural city wall.
However, there was a fierce attack by the Liuzhou Army in the front, and knights from the Central Plains came to kill them later. If they wanted to repel them, the people of the Tianlang Sect had to think of other ways.
Such as mudslides.
This operation is similar to what they did in Leishanzang, which uses explosives to destroy rock structures.
As for our own people down there?
Then you can only ask for blessings. Anyway, the Sirius Cult has a large number of people, and it doesn’t matter if there are a few fewer followers.
When Yang Yiyi heard that it was a barrel of explosives, she immediately understood what Li Chengqi had asked her to throw down just now, and she suddenly felt a little scared.
"There is no time to stay any longer. Since the people from the Sirius Cult detonated the explosive barrels, it is likely that someone has already killed them. Now is a good time to take action."
Detonating the explosive barrel is equivalent to injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred. Since the Sirius Cult used this trick, it was obvious that they planned to bury a few more with them before they died.
But having said that, the arrangement of the explosive barrels of the Sirius Sect was too coincidental.
There was no remote control detonation at this time. The method of detonation of the Sirius Cult was to use gunpowder to pull a line all the way up the mountain. Lighting the gunpowder would act like a fuse to detonate the explosive barrel hidden in the woods.
But this thing is greatly affected by the environment. It cannot be used when it is too humid or windy. In other words, this thing must have been installed recently.
The Liuzhou Army set out from Liangcheng in the afternoon and launched an overnight siege. This group of Jianghu people also heard about the Liuzhou Army's departure and decided to take action immediately.
So, how did the Sirius Cult know the specific time and arrange the explosive barrels in advance?
As mentioned just now, this thing is time-sensitive and cannot be arranged in advance, but the Sirius Sect seems to know that they will come.
Either there are people from the Sirius Cult in the Liuzhou National Army, or someone from this gang of knights and knights has tipped off the news.
However, no matter what the situation was, Li Chengqi could not confirm it or even narrow down the scope of suspects. He could only tell Yang Yiyi to be more careful and show as little as possible in front of outsiders.
Li Chengqi was responsible for the mental part, and Yang Yiyi was responsible for the actions. At this time, it was not too far away from the Tianlang Sect's stronghold, so there was no need to tie the rope and continue climbing up.
Yang Yiyi walked through the woods and came to the path leading to the stronghold. The ground was full of corpses of Sirius cult members. It was likely that there had just been a fierce battle.
It seemed that Yang Yiyi had finally caught up with the disciples of the big sect who were leading the charge, and finally reached the stronghold of the Sirius Sect.
She took three steps at a time, quickly walked around the corpse and ran up the path. Not long after, a large village gate that looked like a bandit's camp appeared in front of her. There were torches on the wooden walls around it, and the village could vaguely be seen. I heard screams and the sound of weapons clashing.
"Don't rush in, check the situation first."
Li Chengqi's reminder was timely. Yang Yiyi just wanted to rush in and help.
