Chapter 1781

Listening to the wind and rain all night, Chu Yunyao and Xiu'er slept soundly in the warm tent.

Except for the guards who took turns, drinking ginger tea and standing in the wooden shed talking and laughing in low voices, everyone fell asleep with the sound of rain getting louder and louder.

The people on the mountain can sit back and relax, but the Gong family army down the mountain has a hard time.

First the fire spread and everything went smoothly.

Finally, the fire raged up, but the originally calm and windless Yunxiao Mountain blew up, blowing the thick smoke that was originally flying towards the top of the mountain to the Gong family army.

The stronger the wind, the stronger the smell of smoke and dust blowing to Gong Jiajun.

Several generals suggested that Gong Yao pull out the camp and retreat a few miles before camping, so as not to hurt his own people by the smoke and dust.

But at this time, Gong Yao was in the midst of the greatest humiliation, where he could not listen to what the generals said, he was resolutely unwilling to retreat, as if once he retreated, all his decisions would be wrong.

The house leak happened to rain all night, and people were unlucky enough to drink saliva and stuff their teeth, which made sense.

The number of Gong family soldiers who were smothered to death by the thick smoke had not yet had time to report to Gong Yao. It was originally sunny and sunny, but in Gong Yao's eyes, it was absolutely impossible to rain, and it started to rain lightly.

The light rain turned into heavy rain, and it didn't take long before it was like pouring.

The fire that had just burned halfway up the mountain was completely extinguished by the heavy rain.

What's even more frightening is that the rain has no tendency to stop at all.

Because the mountainside was burnt to scorched earth by the fire, when the rainwater on the mountain flowed down and washed away, it took away loose stones and scorched earth mud. The palace army rushed forward.

The Gong family army who refused to move out of the camp was soon surrounded by half mud and half water, and the tents built on the spot were washed down.

Facing the natural disaster that was coming, it was too late for the Gong family's army to flee immediately.

The vast land was pitch black, and the torches that had finally been ignited were quickly extinguished by the rain. The sky was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers. The scary thing was that they didn't know where to flee.

I can't see, I can't touch, the ground under my feet is not a road, but deep muddy water, the person in front is pushed into the water by the person behind, and the person behind is stepping on in a panic. past.

The entire camp fell into chaos.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and more and more Gongjia troops were submerged in the muddy water and unable to get up.

Gong Yao was protected by the guards and generals around him, riding on a tall horse, wearing a bamboo hat, and had to retreat with his people.

Gong Yao saw the muddy water rolling down from the mountain clearly by the light of the fire, and shouted with all his strength: "Go to the tree, hurry up, climb up the tree for me if there is no time to evacuate."

Holding a torch poured with kerosene, the guard urged: "Master, this muddy water is accumulating more and more, if you don't move on, your horse will get stuck in the mud. Let's go."

Gong Yao had no choice but to turn the horse's head and retreat backwards.

…

After the torrential rain all night, the air seemed to be washed clean, and the crisp bird calls echoed in the mountains and forests, waking up those who were still sleeping.

Chu Yunyao stretched under the quilt, yawned, and lazily opened her eyes, only to find that she was the only one left in the entire tent.

She quickly lifted the quilt to get up, walked out of the tent, squinted her eyes because of the dazzling eyes, the smoke from the cooking on the mountain wafted up, and the smell of food wafted away, Chu Yunyao rubbed her stomach, only to feel a little hungry.

She inadvertently looked down the mountain, and suddenly froze...
