Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 64 The sunset melts gold, life and death are desperate

Sunset Valley is not well-known, but it got such a name only because the setting sun sets from here.The name sounds good, but only the locals know it, and people in other places don't know it at all.

Sunset Valley is neither big nor small, nor can it be said to be steep, but it has only one exit.The valley is full of weeds and flowers, but it is very secluded.But now it is late autumn, not to mention flowers, even the weeds are almost withered.

It was the setting sun at this time, and the valley was far and quiet, only the weaver's cry and the crow's screeching.Suddenly, Zhiniang's voice stopped abruptly, and the crow's crowing also suddenly stopped, as if someone had strangled her neck.

"Quick, quick, each climb up the rope." A group of cavalrymen who were running at high speed suddenly appeared from the entrance of the valley, and then came to the depths of the sunset valley in an instant.This team was none other than a cavalry led by Gong Du.There were not many cavalry, and it was obvious that Gong Du had lured Cao's troops to retreat.

Gong Du led his troops to the cliff of the valley, and immediately got off his horse, ran to the cliff and groped while yelling hastily.But after a while, he found a rope, and tied the rope to himself, and while climbing up, he shouted: "Quick, pull me up."

The other soldiers also rolled off their horses, imitated the rope tied around their waists, and shouted towards the cliff.After a while, the rope rose slowly, and soon reached midair.

But when Gong Du was beaming with joy, Taniguchi suddenly yelled: "Gong Du, where can I escape?"

It was none other than Cai Yang who was chasing after him.As soon as he entered the valley, he saw Gong Du hanging in the air, and he didn't understand that he was played by this Gong Du.However, he only thought that Gong Du did this just to escape, and he didn't think there was an ambush as Liu Yu said.

How could Cai Yang allow Gong Du to escape, and immediately clamped the horse's belly with both feet, and shot an arrow with both hands.The soldiers behind him followed suit, and also picked up their bows and arrows to aim at the yellow scarf hanging in the air.

When Gong Du heard Li Drink, he thought in his heart that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw that Gong Du was actually drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, his expression changed drastically.He yanked the rope with both hands, climbed up by himself, and shouted up at the same time: "Quick pull, quick pull!"

The yellow scarves hanging in the air are simply targets, how can they escape Cao Jun's crossbow arrows.After a shower of arrows, most of them were killed or injured. Only a few people with strength and luck narrowly escaped the rain of arrows.But among these people, several people escaped the rain of arrows, but the ropes that bound them were shot.Ever since, they screamed and fell into the valley one after another, only to hear a few bangs, all of them were silent.

The living Gong Du's face changed again, and he climbed up desperately, and at the same time he yelled: "Yan Xiang, don't set fire!"

Yan Xiang is the military adviser of the man in black.If Liu Yu in the distance hears this name clearly, his face will definitely change drastically, because this person is Yuan Shu's chief adviser.As for why he is here, he was framed by Yuan Shu's favorite minister, otherwise how could he come here with his identity.

Yan Xiang was sitting on the top of the cliff at this time, his face was as calm as water, even when he heard Gong Du's screaming, he was not moved at all.It's just that Gong called him by his name, and he was still a little unhappy.He was wearing a black cloak because he didn't want people to recognize him. First, he felt ashamed, and second, he didn't want people to know that the Runan Yellow Turban was related to Yuan Shu.But he regained his composure in an instant, and then looked inside the valley, and saw that Cai Yang and others had almost reached the bottom of the valley, and immediately said to the left and right: "Send the order down, let's set fire."

The tone was flat, as if it was just a trivial matter, but this trivial matter was related to the lives and deaths of nearly ten thousand people.

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Yan Zhong again with a calm expression.After a while, Gong Du climbed up out of breath, and almost at the same time, the flames in the valley rose up into the sky, and it was as brilliant as the setting sun in the sky.Beauty, this scene is indeed very beautiful, making people think of the word sunset melting gold!

However, under the beauty is often unsightly.This is the case in the valley at the moment, when the rockets shot down from the top of the cliffs on all sides, everyone's expressions immediately changed drastically.Afterwards, they no longer cared about any pursuit, no matter what military orders, they all rushed towards Taniguchi.But as soon as these rockets hit the ground and hit the withered grass, they immediately ignited a raging fire.Not to mention running away, some people were burned directly by the fire and screamed shrillly.As for the other soldiers, they all discarded their armor and fled frantically towards Taniguchi.

The fire was too great, and everyone went too deep into the valley, and very few people actually escaped to the mouth of the valley.

Liu Yu fled to Taniguchi, after all, he did not go deep into the valley.But it was not easy for him to escape. He led his soldiers to fight all the way to Taniguchi, and all the people he killed were his own people!But what made him gratified was that almost all the veterans under his command were alive, including Gao Meng, Xia Houlan, Zhou Cang, Liu Shou, and the original more than 200 soldiers.

Cai Yang also fled to Taniguchi. Although he entered the deepest valley, he killed all the way and escaped to Taniguchi smoothly.It has to be said that there is no good or evil, and no friendship between life and death.

There is not much dry grass at Taniguchi, so the fire is very small, and no one is in danger of life or death.But it is also very uncomfortable in this Taniguchi, because it is too hot.However, everyone had to suffer here, because Taniguchi had been blocked by boulders, and there was no way to escape.Cai Yang, Qian Qi, and Liu Yu were all in a mess, and their hair was a little burnt.But they were not in the mood to pay attention to their hair, they all looked at the way out with ugly faces, and even stepped forward and pushed again and again unwillingly.It's a pity that the huge boulder is too big, no matter how you push it, you will be indifferent.

Everyone had no choice but to sit down exhaustedly. They looked at the raging fire in horror; at the comrades struggling in the fire; at their companions who were gradually scorched and burned to ashes.Their adam's apples twitched, sweat dripped down their faces, and they didn't know whether it was because they were afraid or they were too hot.Everyone was like this, sitting in the narrow valley entrance and watching the fire raging blankly.

After a long time, everyone's lips were dry and chapped, and their clothes looked like they had been fished out of the water.They were roasted like this by the fire, but they had already counted, because someone was roasted to death alive, what a horror!

Finally, the fire finally stopped!
Liu Yu wiped the sweat off his face, pursed his dry lips, and stretched his neck to look towards the valley.Then, his body shook, and his eyes showed horror.

The corpses in the valley ranged from half cooked to very cooked. They looked horrifying, and even a bold person like Liu Yu couldn't help but tremble.

Not only Liu Yu, but also the others, all sat back in place in fright.Only one young soldier rushed out with tears on his face.He searched among the corpses, and kept muttering: Brother, I'll take you home, I'll take you home, daddy is still waiting at home.

Suddenly, he picked up a corpse, the corpse could still vaguely see its face, and began to cry, but there was a hint of joy of finding it at the corner of its mouth.This look of crying and laughing scared the soldiers who watched them inexplicably.But at this moment, suddenly a shot came from the sky, piercing through the thin chest of the young soldier with a pop.

The expression on the young soldier's face was still crying and laughing, but he fell down slowly.Everyone was shocked when he fell, not only because of his shocking expression, but also because they were afraid that a sudden arrow would shoot them to death.

When everyone was commotioning, Liu Yu suddenly shouted: "Everyone, don't be afraid, the mouth of the valley is narrow, and the thieves on the cliff can't shoot us at all."

After Liu Yu observed carefully, he yelled several times in a row, and everyone gradually quieted down.But the soldiers who had calmed down were still apprehensive, looking at the sky warily.It was not until a long time passed that no arrows shot down, and they gradually calmed down.

The soldiers who calmed down began to think of ideas again, they didn't want to stay here, it became hell here.Cai Yang with a gloomy face naturally didn't want to stay here. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that only the road blocked by the boulder could escape, and other places were dead ends.But he also knew that there must be someone outside the boulder, and rushing out like this would probably be a dead end.

But if he knew it, it didn't mean that other people knew it too. The few soldiers who got together didn't know it.Seeing that no one else was moving, they waited patiently for a long time.But the crowd still remained silent, they couldn't stay any longer, scratching their heads in anxiety.After a while, they exchanged a few words in a low voice, ignored the others, got up and climbed up the boulder.

But when they climbed up the huge boulder and their faces were showing joy, suddenly three arrows shot out with a whizzing sound, hitting the chests of the three of them.Their smiles froze, and their bodies immediately fell down.

Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of three corpses falling to the ground not only broke the silence in the valley, but also broke everyone's hope.

Liu Yu's face was sinking like water, and the snake spear in his hand turned white; Cai Yang's face was contorted, and the veins in his hands were bulging...
