C2423 It's Coming up
Princess Qi and Xiao Huan helped each other and climbed up with difficulty. However, although they looked miserable, they did not fall behind. They had been following behind the main group and did not encounter any accidents. This was already the luckiest of the unfortunate.
Moreover, the two of them were in a sorry state right now. There was also a benefit to it. That was, it was already very difficult for outsiders to recognize their original identities. They would only treat them as ordinary palace maid. Previously, Princess Qi and Xiao Huan had secretly changed into palace maid's jacket, even though it was changed in front of everyone. But at that time, everyone was busy climbing and running for their lives. How could they be in the mood to pay attention to them, so no one noticed that they had changed their clothes. In addition, their faces were all dirty, so it was naturally harder for outsiders to identify them.
And this was exactly what Princess Qi wanted. This way, they would have less risk of being targeted, which would also be beneficial to their safety.
"Kill!"
At this time, a group of Shi Dafu's men had already reached the top of the mountain. Go up! After that... They naturally wouldn't be polite and immediately shot arrows at those who had been shooting at them before. Those who wanted to burn them to death made their move.
The people on the hillside were all angry, which was understandable. Whoever was ambushed from behind would not be in a good mood. Besides, the other side seemed to want to kill them. They were even more unhappy.
The battle on the mountaintop immediately entered a white-hot stage. The people from the White Lotus Cult had a geographical advantage, plus... The faith in their hearts, everyone was crazy. Their combat strength had completely erupted. At the beginning... Not many of Shi Dafu's men had gone up, so they were immediately suppressed. One after another, people were killed. Those people from the White Lotus Cult... However, they didn't think about the fact that they were all from the Rebellion Army, so they didn't show any mercy at all.
When Shi Dafu saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out. He wasn't concerned about his subordinates. It was just that too many of his subordinates had died. Then wouldn't his strength drop? His current strength was no longer as strong as Wang Cheng's. If his strength continued to drop... How could he surpass Wang Cheng? How could he replace Wang Cheng? To the ambitious leader of Rebellion Army, this was unacceptable.
"Kill! Kill them all! Kill them all!" Shi Dafu bellowed.
Shi Dafu's men were frantically climbing up, even without Shi Dafu's command. They would do their best to fight those people who were fighting on top of the mountain. After all, both parties were enemies, and the other party had no intention of holding back. If they did not do their best, then they would probably be the ones to die.
Therefore, even if it was for their own sake, they would not relax at all at this moment.
As more and more Shi Dafu's men went up, the battle above became even more intense. At this time, the people from the White Lotus Cult above were also distracted by the people who had already gone up the mountain. The suppression on the people on the mountain was naturally less. This gave the people on the mountain time and opportunity to climb up.
The people on the hillside were naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity. At this time, if they did not work hard to climb up, how long would it take? Furthermore, there were fire areas everywhere on the hillside. The fire was already very big. If he delayed any longer... Those places that were on fire were connected together, and they didn't even have a way to go up. Therefore, everyone had to take advantage of the time when there were still some gaps. Quickly get up.
"Hold on, all of you, hold on! Don't allow any of them to come up!" Bai Yufei shouted frantically.
"Sect Master, let's retreat. More and more people are coming up." The person next to Bai Yufei said to him.
"No one is allowed to retreat, no one is allowed to retreat!" Bai Yufei said. He felt that today was the best opportunity. If he missed today, it would be very difficult for him to find such a good opportunity. He would be able to wipe out the people of the other major powers of Rebellion Army, as well as the Fengjue Country and the important figures of the Great Lu Dynasty Imperial Court in one fell swoop. Therefore, he didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to redeem himself.
Therefore, Bai Yufei didn't want his men to retreat. Even if he had to pay a huge price, he still wanted to seize this opportunity.
"Sect master, as long as the green mountain remains, there's no need to worry about the lack of firewood. Now that the situation is critical, we should retreat first. We'll make plans after that." The person who tried to persuade him earlier continued. Obviously, he didn't lose his mind like Bai Yufei. He knew very well that the current situation was too dangerous. If they continued to stay here, they might all die here.
"Sect master..."
That person still wanted to say something, but in the end, he heard a pengci sound. He immediately froze there.
"Whoever dares to say retreat again, he will end up like this!" Bai Yufei pulled out his sword from the man's body with a ferocious expression and said coldly.
"Sect... Master..." The man still had a shocked expression on his face as he looked at Bai Yufei in disbelief. It was clear that he never would have thought that the sect master who always trusted him... What?
However, after Bai Yufei took away the sword, he didn't even look at that man. He looked at the battlefield with a gloomy expression. He was a proud and arrogant man. The previous two defeats had already made him find it hard to accept. He would never allow himself to fail again, especially after he had prepared for a long time. If he caught the enemy unprepared, then it would be even more unacceptable for him to fail.
If it was any other time, Bai Yufei would definitely be a rational person. A smart person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have developed the White Lotus Cult to such an extent. However, two consecutive failures had already broken his heart. It had affected his judgment. Therefore, he still firmly believed that... As long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to eliminate all these people in front of him.
Everyone in the White Lotus Cult was startled by Bai Yufei's action. Those who originally wanted to retreat... At this moment, none of them dared to casually retreat. They were really afraid that Bai Yufei would stab them with his sword. Therefore, they could only continue to fight.
At this time, many of Shi Dafu's men had already reached the top of the mountain. They had a huge advantage, and this advantage was still expanding. Although Bai Yufei had asked his men to hold the mountain, he didn't want to give his men a chance to come up. More and more people had arrived at the top of the mountain.
Regarding this situation, Bai Yufei was flustered and exasperated, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only keep roaring at his men to urge them to continue fighting.
"So it's you guys! White Lotus Cult!" At this time, Shi Dafu had already reached the top of the mountain. He finally saw the true identity of this group of people.
Although they were ordinary disciples of the White Lotus Cult, wearing the same clothes as the other disciples of the Rebellion Soldier, there wasn't much difference between them, but their core members... The people standing beside Bai Yufei wore very special clothes. They were wearing clothes unique to their White Lotus Cult. Therefore... Shi Dafu recognized them with a single glance, not to mention... Bai Yufei was still anxiously stomping his feet among the crowd, which immediately attracted Shi Dafu's attention.
There were many people in Rebellion Force, and there were more than a thousand leaders, big and small. After all, some of the Rebellion Force only had a few people who could declare a rebellion. Therefore, there were a lot of people in the Rebellion Force. Among so many leaders... Naturally, it was impossible for them to know each other.
However, as the leader of the Rebellion Army, Shi Dafu obviously knew those from the Rebellion Force. The leaders of the major powers were the stronger ones, and this White Lotus Cult was obviously one of them. Even if they were defeated by the Great Lu Dynasty twice in the past, no one could deny their strength and status in the Rebellion Force. In addition, the people in the sect were extremely crazy and unafraid of death. Therefore, Shi Dafu naturally had a lot of knowledge about this White Lotus Cult. He naturally knew their leader, Bai Yufei. In fact... They had even talked to each other in other places.2
However, at this moment, Shi Dafu clearly had no intention of going up to reminisce with the other party. He even wished he could tear the other party apart with his bare hands. After all, the other party had wanted to kill them before this. They had no mercy in their attacks, even though they had still come up in the end. However... They suffered heavy losses and casualties. As for the situation... Shi Dafu's heart was filled with anger. He wished he could kill these people who had attacked them.
Therefore, after coming up, Shi Dafu didn't ask his subordinates to stop because of the identity of the White Lotus Cult. Instead, he ordered his men to continue attacking. Furthermore, ... It was a fierce attack. He wanted these people to pay the price for their previous actions. A painful price.
The ones following Shi Dafu and the others were the people from the other major powers of Rebellion Army. After they arrived, they started attacking the people from the White Lotus Cult. One was to take revenge on their previous actions. The other reason was... The people of the White Lotus Cult were still blocking their path of escape. If they wanted to leave this place, they had to pass through the White Lotus Cult. In order to leave this place, it was impossible for them to stop.
Of course, if the White Lotus Cult's people stopped attacking and allowed them to pass... That would be another situation. Unfortunately... When they arrived, the people from the White Lotus Cult didn't stop their attacks. Therefore, the other people from the Rebellion Force naturally wouldn't be polite to them.
After that, Wang Cheng and the others also arrived. When they arrived, more and more people appeared on top of the mountain. Fortunately, although the mountain was steep, the front of the mountain was not small. Otherwise, there would not be so many people present at the same time.
