Chapter 423: The Fire-Starting Things

Bayi looked at the fleeing figure of the Han army from afar, shouting loudly as he accelerated his chasing speed while carefully observing the situation ahead.

When the Han army fled into Chigu, Bayi led everyone to the entrance of Chigu Valley. He saw a large red color in his eyes. He suddenly felt a sudden thrill in his heart. Will the Han army set up an ambush in Chigu? Chigu is a famous death valley, and it is difficult to grow in a small grass. The mountains on both sides are steep, so even the climbing ability of people cannot go up from both sides. If the Han army blocked both sides of the valley, wouldn’t they become birds in cages?

Bayi stopped decisively and raised his right hand to the side and back. It was a gesture of stopping forward. More than a thousand vine armored soldiers stopped and rested on the spot. Even though they were good at walking on the mountain road, they felt a little difficult to breathe while chasing at such a fast speed. Then Bayi sent two clever soldiers into the valley to inquire.

Bayi looked suspiciously at the huge red rocks in the Red Valley, hesitating whether to chase after him. A soldier bent down and picked up a short silver knife from the ground, and said happily: "General, this is a weapon that the Han people fell when they ran away. Look, they are all made of silver."

Bayi reached out to take the short knife and saw that it was indeed exquisite. The scabbard and the handle were made of sterling silver, with beautiful tiger-shaped patterns on it, and the two Chinese characters "Zi Ming" were engraved on the bottom of the scabbard.

"Zi Ming?..." Bai Yi didn't know who Zi Ming was, but judging from the exquisite workmanship of this short knife, the owner of this knife was definitely not an ordinary person.

The soldier advised: "General, this knife must be led by the Han people. Even the weapons they carry with him were lost. This shows that his expression was so panicked. Let's chase him in!"

"This..." Bayi's heart was shaken. The Han people were rich and their army was well equipped. If they took down the Han army troops in front and then robbed them of the baggage, they would make a fortune.

At this time, the two vine armored soldiers who had been sent to the valley to investigate ran back quickly, shouting as they ran: "General, you've got rich~~ You've got rich~~"

Bayi felt a little surprised, but he deliberately shouted with a calm face: "What's the money? Tell me slowly!"

When we got closer, a vine armored soldier gasped and replied: "General, after we entered the valley, we only saw the Han army running out of the valley from afar. More than a hundred large trucks were parked in the valley. The cars were covered with tarpaulin tightly, and they must be all the enemy's baggage!"

Bayi was overjoyed, revealing her yellow teeth, and asked hurriedly, "Have you observed both sides of the valley? There was no ambush from the Han people?"

The two vine armored soldiers looked at each other and saw that the baggage was so excited that they could not find the north. They forgot to check out the enemy's ambush, but the strong possessiveness made their minds hot and replied directly: "We have observed it. The valley is as calm as usual, and there is no sign of an enemy's ambush on both sides."

"Okay!" Bayi blurted out his words, "The whole army enters the valley and first robs the Han people of their supplies! Whoever grabs the most will get the most rewards!"

More than a thousand vine armored soldiers were in full swing. They had already made a small fortune along the way and picked up a lot of money that had fallen from the Han army in a hurry. They were about to make a fortune. They all had their faces red with excitement, and some even danced.

Lu Su looked coldly at the vine armored soldiers pouring into the valley like a tide. Beside him were more than a thousand archers, all of whom were hiding on the rocks on the hillside like Lu Su. For this moment, they set off in the early morning and came here to set up an ambush.

On the other side of the valley, Zulang also looked at the vine armored soldiers with cold eyes, but there was a little ridicule in his eyes, because he believed that these vine armored soldiers would become dead soon. When Lu Meng told his plan a few days ago, Zulang was not very convinced. He did not believe that just using a trap could trap so many war elephants at the same time, and did not believe that dense crossbow arrows could shoot the war elephants to death, because the impression left by the war elephants on him was too terrifying, and he had to look at Lu Meng's plan with a skeptical attitude.

Similarly, when Lu Su proposed to use fire attack to deal with the Qijiao soldiers based on Lu Meng's plan, Zulang still couldn't believe that this would really happen. Could it be that the commander of the Qijiao soldiers was so stupid that he would lead his subordinates into the ambush circle?

Reality forced Zulang to believe that the message of the elephant being destroyed had been passed back. He also saw with his own eyes that the vine armored soldiers were lured into Chigu by Lu Meng's troops. Those carts that were regarded as property of people were all things that caused fire. They would not bring wealth to people, but would only bring death to people. People died for money and birds died for food. This is what Lu Meng said when analyzing his plan. It really makes sense. Zulang muttered silently in his heart.

From this moment on, he began to look at Lu Meng with admiration.

As the commander of the vine armor soldiers, Bayi naturally knew where their life gate was, that is fire. The vine armor was not afraid of knife cutting, gun stabbing, or water soaking. The only thing he was afraid of was fire. Because during the production process, the vine armor had to be soaked in tung oil for a long time, and the oil had been deeply embedded in the light vine. Once the open fire was encountered, the vine armor would be easily ignited. While it burned itself, it would also burn the soldiers wearing vine armor to barbecue.

However, after entering Akagaya, Bayi's originally hanging heart was relieved.

There was no grass and trees in the Red Valley. Even if the Han army wanted to attack with fire, there was no object that led to fire, how could it burn?

Bayi's expression, which was relieved, was much more relaxed. With a wave of his hand, the vine armored soldiers behind him rushed forward, with only one target, that was the baggage chariot left by the Han people. As soon as the Han soldiers guarding the baggage chariot saw the tide of the tide, their faces turned green and they wanted nothing. They threw the baggage chariot and ran away with their heads in their arms. Thinking of this, a few smiles appeared on Bayi's face.

The vine armored soldiers followed at full speed, surrounded more than a hundred supplies carts, and laughed happily. Bayi stepped forward quickly and couldn't help but pat the supplies cart gently with his hands. Through the thick oil cloth, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The normal supplies cart was either filled with food, jerky, or feather arrows, but Bayi judged from the feel that the cart of supplies was hard and none of them seemed to be.

Bayi's face changed, and he tore open the tart cloth covering the baggage truck with one hand. The branches, wooden sticks, wooden boards and other items in the car suddenly appeared. Bayi looked carefully and saw that there were still many powdery things at the bottom of these items. Bayi didn't believe it, so he stepped to the other baggage truck and tore open the tart cloth with both hands. When he saw that it was still these fire-induced objects!

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
