The sound came from a few steps away, where the crimson fireball exploded.

The heat wave suddenly rose with the bright light, making people have to stretch out their hands to block their eyes, followed by scorching flames that spread with the wind.

Bai Xiuchuan’s face was pale: “It’s…it’s the cannon—”

Bai Yunfeng said in astonishment: “Are they crazy? The prince is still in the army, and they dare to use artillery.”

Si Yutong was the closest to the place where the cannon exploded, she opened her eyes slightly, and after the buzzing in her ears faded, she heard piercing groans.

A young soldier, covered in flames, ran out of the heat wave, staggered a few steps, then fell to the ground and never moved again.

The soldier’s back had turned into a piece of scorched black, an arm almost fell off his shoulder, and his wrist and fingers were dripping with blood, which was horrible.

More people ran hastily in all directions, and the exclamation was endless.

“Lead the troops back!” Si Yutong shouted.

“It’s useless,” Bai Yunfeng gritted his teeth, “The next step is Liulong Bridge.”

Stray bullets shot out from the red-hot cannon barrel, crossed the sky, and landed in the formation one after another. This was a heavy artillery that would only be used when attacking a city. Song Xiang asked someone to hide it in a military tent and put it behind the team. On the eve of the battle, , they didn’t notice it.

Artillery has no eyes, and every time it explodes, it engulfs a piece of land. At such a short distance, not to mention the enemy, even your own companions will be affected.However, regardless of Song Xiang’s disregard, he still gave orders mercilessly.

Bai Yunfeng ordered the soldiers to dodge, or look for the nearest stones, or use shields to block their heads, trying to avoid stray bullets as much as possible.Among the artillery, the enemy must have stopped their offensive. He planned to stabilize his position first, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

But he was wrong.

The enemy did not retreat because of the artillery fire. Even if they were hit by the explosion and died one after another, the people behind continued to attack the formation.

Si Yutong was shocked, and secretly thought about what kind of strict order Song Xiang had given them to make them regard their own lives as worthless.

Her heart sank to the bottom along with the shells.

It seemed that her enemies really wanted to put her to death no matter what the cost.

Beside her, Bai Xiuchuan asked his elder brother, “Brother, shall we lead our troops back first and retreat to the back of Liulong Bridge?”

But Bai Yunfeng shook his head, raised his hand and pointed behind him: “Look, there is no way for us to retreat.”

Not far behind is the surging river, and a bridge pile of the Liulong Bridge has been broken under the attack of artillery, and the once impregnable bridge deck swayed violently in the wind, crumbling.

Bai Yunfeng suddenly rode his horse, passed through the battle, and came to the side of Liulong Bridge.

In the sky filled with smoke, dust and fire, he raised the sword in his hand high, slashed it down heavily, and chopped towards the bridge pile on the other side.

The solid wood split from the middle and broke into several pieces. The ropes wrapped around the stakes rubbed against the sawdust and scattered, making a harsh friction sound, and receded farther and farther.

The bridge deck also collapsed, withered and disintegrated. The head of the bridge drew a long arc in the [-]-foot-deep stream, and hit the other side of the cliff, smashing to pieces.

Also shattered was the last thought of luck in the hearts of the soldiers.

There was no retreat behind them, only a cliff was left, and the wind whimpered endlessly at the bottom of the cliff, and the empty mountain stream seemed to open a big black mouth, swallowing the last dim light between heaven and earth.

Bai Yunfeng turned his head from the edge of the cliff, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted: “Everyone, follow me and fight them to the death!”

The soldiers let out a burst of screams, and followed their young general, rushing towards the mountains of swords and seas of fire.

In the midst of the chaos, the artillery was still falling, the sky was almost burnt red, the ground was billowing with smoke, and the tongue of fire scorched a large area of ​​scars on the ground, bleeding pus and blood, like a plague born on this river and mountain.

No one knows whether the scorching plague will fall on them, every moment is a moment of dying, they have already forgotten the time, the place, and even themselves, and they just turned the fear in their chests into madness and anger, Use your body as a blade to slash at the enemy in front of you.

Then, they withered in a crimson fire, or their flesh and bones were burned, or their blood flowed profusely, or their heads were decapitated. The ugly death seemed to pay homage to the glory of that moment.

What a bleak picture.

Si Yutong watched everything in the chaos.

The thick smoke choked her nostrils, the stream of fire dazzled her eyes, and her eyes were filled with hot tears. Through the blurred vision, the figures turned into small specks, and tiny lives like dust flew up one after another, and then fell back into the dust.Outside the crowd, she could see the faint shadow of the mountain. The steep mountain peak was like a golden dagger, piercing straight into the sky, as if trying to poke a hole out of the dark clouds with the lonely spire.

Her heart suddenly became clear, and she finally made up her final decision. She caught up with Bai Yunfeng, raised her hand, and said, “There is another way. I want to go to the highest mountain.”

Bai Yunfeng asked in surprise, “Do you still have plans?”

Si Yutong nodded.

Bai Yunfeng didn’t ask any further questions, just nodded and said: “Okay, I’ll escort you.” Then he turned to his younger brother who was not far behind, “Xiuchuan, I leave this place to you, and you must guard it no matter what.”

Bai Xiuchuan was still in the middle of swinging the sword, his back froze, and he slowly turned his head and said: “Understood.” After a moment of pause, he added, “You must be careful!”

He still wanted to say something, but the enemy’s cavalry had surrounded him, making him unable to tell the gods for a moment.

Bai Yunfeng and Si Yutong, one in front of the other, rode their horses for a long time and broke through the battle line with a brute force. The Shuangxue Sword had cut off countless heads of enemies, and the sticky blood splashed on their faces, leaving a choking wound. Nose smell and hot touch.

If you want to go to the top of the mountain, you have to go around the flanks.The two galloped close to the river bank. Song Xiang had already noticed their strange behavior and sent more teams to pursue them.But Bai Yunfeng still rushed forward without hesitation, cutting a path with his sword.

He didn’t even ask any more questions, he just regarded Si Yutong’s whereabouts as his mission.

Si Yutong stared at his back, bumped and swayed on the horse’s back, her shoulder blades were tense, her heart was lost for a moment, and at this moment, an arrow pierced the wind and roared towards him from behind. Come.

“Brother, be careful!” Bai Yunfeng who was walking in front suddenly reined in his horse and ran into her by stopping.

Si Yutong turned the horse’s head abruptly, because of this reckless bump, the arrow deflected away from the back of her neck, and instead buried itself in the vest of the person next to her.

“Yunfeng!!” She exclaimed.

Bai Yunfeng swayed on the horseback.

The back that was still straight just now shrank because of the severe pain, and then, with trembling, he slowly turned around.

A bright red oozes from his front and blooms on his chest like a flower.His trembling lips spat out firm words: “You go first, and I will block the pursuers.”

“No!” Si Yutong violently shook her head.

Bai Yunfeng’s throat rolled, and he said in a trembling voice: “Brother, you must live to avenge Ah Tong…”

Si Yutong was startled.

With a dreamy expression, she stretched out her arm to Bai Yunfeng, and gently hooked his hand with her fingertips.

“I’m Ah Tong, Yunfeng, don’t you recognize me?”

A look of astonishment flashed across Bai Yunfeng’s face, his fingertips trembled, and the corners of his pale mouth slowly curled up: “So it’s like this, you’re still alive, that’s great…”

Then, he tried his best to shake off her hand.
