Chapter 655: Lü He is dead
Chapter 655: Lü He is dead
Countless people were gathering outside the cold valley, and several flags were erected with the word "Lu" written on them.
Lu He rides on a black warhorse. After losing his son in old age, the scene of Lu Jin charging into the enemy army often appears in his dreams.
He seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and in an instant he aged dozens of years.
Looking at the terrain in front of him, his wrinkles became deeper and deeper. He raised his hand slightly, and the guards around him went to the front to order the soldiers to stop.
"General, what's wrong?"
A young general next to him asked curiously. He was called a young general, but in fact he was the prince of Ningchuan, Xiao Dan.
He practiced martial arts freely, having grown up in a military camp, and had some skills, but not much.
The reason why Emperor Ningchuan sent him here this time was mainly because he was afraid that Lu He would rebel.
Lü He didn't care about Emperor Ningchuan's surveillance at all. In his opinion, as long as he was given a chance to take revenge, he would be very lucky.
"There may be an ambush in the canyon ahead."
Lu He said.
"Send some scouts to investigate."
"promise."
Several scouts rode away, walked back and forth in the valley several times, and came back saying:
"No abnormalities were found."
"Can I go up?"
Lu He asked again.
"It's hard."
The scout shook his head slightly. The slope going up was very steep.
"Keep going, it's okay. Our whereabouts this time are secret, Daqian will never expect us to show up."
Prince Xiao Dan was getting a little impatient waiting.
"Then keep going."
Lu He gave the order. This time they were going to attack by surprise. If they stayed here for too long, they would be easily discovered by Daqian.
Moreover, he met Dong Bo a few days ago.
Dong Bo said confidently that Lin Xiaofan believed in the alliance between the two countries. In addition, the soldiers in the Daqian military camp were very scattered. The patrolmen would find a shade under a tree to sit down and chat after walking a few steps, and the soldiers would gather in groups of three or five to have fun.
Dong Bo is an important official in Ningchuan, so there is no reason to lie to him. The possibility of an ambush during this trip is very small.
The soldiers received the order and entered the valley. Xiao Dan felt that being in the center was too boring, so he rode his horse to the front of the team.
Lu He looked above the canyon nervously, fearing that a rain of arrows would suddenly appear.
Half an hour later, the front army had passed through the cold valley without incident. Lu He also breathed a sigh of relief, and the central army slowly entered the valley.
The cold valley was not very wide, only accommodating two carriages passing through at the same time. The terrain on both sides was several dozen feet high, and unless it was noon, the sun could not be seen in the valley.
That's why the valley was a little eerie. A cool breeze blew over, and Lu He got goose bumps all over his body. Looking up, he had a bad feeling that was getting stronger and stronger.
Isn't it a little too quiet in this valley?
Suddenly, a small piece of gravel fell from the valley and hit his helmet. Looking up, he seemed to see a figure vaguely.
There is an ambush!
"retreat!"
He shouted and pulled the reins, and the horse neighed. In the sky, a thunderbolt drew an arc and landed on a huge rock.
"bump!"
As loud explosions sounded in the sky, countless pieces of gravel fell like raindrops, landing on the soldiers' helmets with bangs.
At the entrance of the canyon, a huge rock suddenly fell down, and countless soldiers who had no time to dodge were smashed into meat paste.
"Fire arrows!"
The sound echoed in the canyon, and a rain of arrows fell from the sky.
Duanmu Liangjiang held a crossbow in his hand and shot three or four arrows at Lü He. However, the distance was too far, and it was difficult for him to determine the opponent's whereabouts. Several arrows were shot very off target.
Seeing that Lu He was almost under his feet, Duanmu Liangjiang lit a thunder bomb he carried with him, threw it down, and then threw the torch down, hoping to cause some damage to the opponent.
With a noise, Lu He's warhorse was frightened, neighing, and seemed to run faster.
Fortunately, at the exit of the canyon, Lei Zhenzi's successive explosions prevented the soldiers from rushing out. They were all crowded in the canyon, blocking Lu He's way out.
Arrow rain and thunder bombs fell one after another, but for some reason, they could not hit Lu He.
Seeing that Lü He was about to leave, Duanmu Liangjiang became a little anxious. If the other party was allowed to leave the valley, then with the prestige of the general, these Ningchuan soldiers would be able to form a fighting force quickly. At that time, it would not be easy to annihilate them.
Who knows, it might even provoke a counterattack from the other side.
Several soldiers nearby lifted a large rock and were about to throw it down. Duanmu Liangjiang hurriedly said:
"Wait a minute."
Several soldiers were a little confused, and the next moment, they saw Duanmu Liangjiang taking the big stone from them alone.
They didn't know how much the stone weighed, but they could only lift it with the combined efforts of several people. However, Duanmu Liangjiang took on the stone that was more than half a person's height by himself.
Before he could see it, Duanmu Liangjiang shouted loudly, the veins on his hands popped up, and he raised the stone above his head. Then he stared at the trajectory of Lü He's movements below and threw the stone out fiercely.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the boulder fell and accurately pressed Lü He to the ground. The height of several dozen feet made the power of the stone enormous. No matter how powerful Lü He was, he would die if he was hit hard.
Duanmu Liangjiang was breathing heavily, looking down, feeling happy.
After Lu He's death, the Ningchuan Kingdom's 100,000-strong army could no longer cause any trouble.
"Lü He is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"
Duanmu Liangjiang shouted, and his voice echoed in the valley.
"Lü He is dead, why don't you surrender!"
Many vanguard troops also shouted loudly, trying to wear down the morale of the Ningchuan army below.
"The general died in battle!"
Looking at Lu He, who was fine just now but now had no body left, the tension in the hearts of the surrounding Ningchuan soldiers was broken at this moment.
"The general is dead."
The soldiers no longer cared about order and began to flee.
Rolling logs, rocks, thunder bombs, and rain of arrows fell from both sides of the valley, taking the lives of the soldiers one by one. Only a few people were able to escape.
Xiao Dan, who was the first to leave the valley, was also dumbfounded when he saw the situation in front of him.
Wasn't their whereabouts very secretive this time? What was going on? How did the other party find out? When did they ambush them?
He had never seen that Lei Zhenzi before. At this moment, the violent explosions came one after another, devastating his young heart.
He was originally full of energy and ambition, but now he was completely at a loss. He could only wait anxiously outside the valley for Lu He to come out so that he could make the next decision.
But after waiting for a long time, Lu He did not arrive. Instead, soldiers threw away their weapons and ran out quickly, shouting in tears that Lu He was dead.
General Lu is dead? What should he do? How many ambushes are there on the enemy side?
He thought to himself that something was not right, and looked around. Gusts of wind blew through the trees, making a whistling sound, and it seemed that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.
"kill!"
