Chapter 499 God's Retribution

The cable bridge has been extended to fifteen feet, and is very close to the cliff on the other side. The engineers at the bridge head have begun to throw hook cables to hook the rocks and trees on the opposite side of the cliff as a temporary anchor point. This anchor point can quickly stabilize the bridge

Body, speed up the progress.

The archers and ballistas on the other side also fired more crazily to suppress them, because they knew that the most critical moment had arrived. After traveling a hundred miles and a half, if the cable bridge was destroyed at this time, the success would be in vain. But at present, it seems that the opponent may not succeed.

It was difficult to stop it. Although more reinforcements seemed to have arrived from the opposite side, they arrived too late and did not have the heavy equipment to attack the bridge. The terrifying bed crossbow did not appear at the top of the cliff at all.

Zhao Qinian was very excited. He knew that his plan was about to be a great success. His judgment was completely correct. The opponent simply did not have that many manpower to defend multiple attacks. Especially the terrifying weapon he saw that day.

, it can’t be built in a short time. Therefore, from last night to now, I haven’t seen that thing showing off its evil intentions at all. Without that kind of powerful crossbow arrows to destroy the bridge body, it is absolutely impossible to just rely on the opponent to kill the engineers who built the bridge.

They couldn't stop themselves. Not to mention that if they tried to stop the engineers from building the bridge, they would be exposed to their own arrows. Even if they shot some engineers, it would be in vain as long as they couldn't destroy the bridge. Several people would die.

No matter what, I have so many people under my command. As long as I succeed today, it will be worth the death of thousands or eight hundred people.

Zhao Qinian is very proud. After succeeding this time, he will definitely rise to the top. Xiao Huaizhong must think highly of him, and maybe he can still be received and appreciated by the emperor. As long as he can have the opportunity to contact them, with his own

Talent will definitely lead to achievements. It is unknown whether he may reach an unattainable height in the future. His father had a hard time even taking the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty. He would never have imagined that his son would be able to rise to prominence in Dajin and honor his ancestors in the future.

.Dad, if there is knowledge under the spring, you should be proud of yourself.

Zhao Qinian thought like this, and kept shouting and urging the soldiers to attack and not relax. It was already dawn, and once the other side's soldiers and horses saw the situation clearly, they might take the initiative to reinforce them. Although it would not be a problem.

It doesn't help, but it's always better not to cause unnecessary problems.

At this moment, a strange sound came from a distance. The sound was not loud, but the strange thing was that everyone heard or felt the sound.

It was a low, rumbling roar. It was like thunder and lightning rolling through the clouds in the distance, or like the sound of a large number of wild beasts galloping past in the distance stamping on the ground. The ground under my feet seemed to have a slight tremor.

It's shaking, but it doesn't look like shaking, but like a resonance.

"What's going on? What's the sound?" Zhao Qinian shouted in surprise.

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, expressing their ignorance. However, the sound quickly became louder, as if thousands of troops were charging towards here. The source of the sound became clearer, and everyone involuntarily looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

Then, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Halfway up the slope of the snow-capped mountain on the west side behind him, a tall snow wall filled with snow mist rolled down the slope. The snow was more than ten feet high.

The fog and waves rolled up, just like the dark clouds rolling rapidly in the clear sky before a summer rainstorm, or like the huge waves coming from a tsunami. They rolled down, unstoppable, and the trees, rocks, ravines, and slopes on the hillside could not stop them.

Moving forward, they devoured everything and rushed down the mountain with a destructive momentum.

Everyone was stunned. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them, not knowing what was happening. It wasn't until someone let out a heartbreaking scream that they woke up.

"Avalanche! Avalanche!"

Avalanche is one of the most terrifying natural disasters in the land of snow-capped mountains. The light snowflakes seem harmless and are one of the most romantic images in the poems and songs of literati and poets. But once it becomes a disaster, it can be as powerful as any thunderstorm.

Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods and ferocious beasts. When an avalanche strikes, the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart, swallowing and burying everything. It is an absolutely devastating disaster. People who live in the mountains in the north are most afraid of this kind of disaster.

Originally, in such weather, it is difficult for an avalanche to occur. After all, it is already March, and it has not snowed recently. The previous snow has long been fixed on the mountain. What should melt will melt, and what should freeze will freeze. Like

It is the snow on the high mountains of Taihang Mountain. Basically, after the snow falls, the avalanche has already collapsed. The snow that cannot bear the weight has already slipped away, and the rest is long-term snow. However, I don’t know at this moment.

Why, they collapsed.

It is impossible for Zhao Qinian not to know the ferocity of avalanches. He has been stationed in Huguan all year round, in the deep valleys of the Taihang Mountains. He has witnessed the scene of snow-covered avalanches on the mountain peaks countless times. The scene shook the mountains and destroyed the heaven and earth. It was extremely spectacular.

.However, as a bystander, it is naturally a display of the power of nature and a rare spectacle. However, at this moment, the rolling snow wall is facing the valley where they are standing, which is not appreciation.

, but extremely fearful.

"Run away! There's an avalanche! Run away!" Zhao Qinian shouted and rushed over to ride his horse. More than 10,000 golden soldiers formed a chaotic mass and began to cry and run away, trying to avoid the huge snow wave that had rushed from the mountainside.

However, the avalanche came too fast, as fast as a swift horse. They were running on the snow in the valley with two legs, and they could not escape the speed of the snow avalanche. At first, what came was an air current mixed with snow powder.

The alluvial air flow was enough to freeze the fleeing golden soldiers and cause them to fall to the ground. Then came the most terrifying main force of the avalanche. A large amount of snow wrapped around rocks, trees, ice, and animals in the mountains and forests.

Corpses and all kinds of strange debris rushed over. Every item was deadly. Even a small stone was a sharp weapon capable of piercing the human body in the avalanche.

Almost all the golden soldiers in the valley were swallowed up by the violent avalanche in a short period of time. Men, horses, vehicles, materials and weapons, everything was torn apart and buried in an instant.

On the cliff, Zhang Ruomei and other members of the Zhongyi Army also witnessed the avalanche in shock. They watched the avalanche roar down, rush into the valley, and bury countless golden soldiers. They lived in the mountains for a long time.

, they have witnessed the power of avalanches, so when such a ferocious avalanche comes, they also know that it is a huge danger.

"Hide under the cliff

Get away, quickly!" someone shouted loudly, and everyone immediately ran down the cliff and took shelter on the back of the cliff.

The avalanche struck like a tsunami, swallowing up the entire valley and then directly hitting the north cliff of Fenglong Mountain. Amidst the roar, the snow waves rolled and the snow mist filled the air. The snow mixed with various wrapped things was instantly filled up.

The deep gorge was twenty feet wide and more than thirty feet deep, and it went directly over the top of the high cliff and splashed down inside the cliff. The entire area within a radius of two to three miles became flat land.

Fortunately, the cliff of Fenglong Mountain is high enough, and it is also a mountain. Therefore, although the avalanche was affected, the people hiding on the back of the cliff were unharmed. However, their vision was obscured by the snow powder in the sky, and they did not know where they were for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, the roar finally stopped, the snow powder slowly fell, and the vision gradually became clear. Only then did everyone see that the ground inside the cliff was covered with snowdrifts, tree branches and leaves, and there were countless exposed limbs and bicycle frames.

and horses. They were the victims of an avalanche that was carried over the cliff and fell into the interior.

Zhang Ruomei and others carefully climbed to the top of the messy cliff again and looked outside. They were all shocked and speechless.

Where are the deep gorges and valleys? In front of you is a snowfield swept by avalanches. The snow has filled everything and is level with the cliffs of Fenglong Mountain. Looking around, you can see that the enemy troops were originally stationed in the valley on the other side.

The location of the attack has reached the flat ocean, with only a snowfield stretching across it and no one around.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, no one said a word, they just stood there, the shock in their hearts was indescribable. The north wind was blowing, and the sun had risen without knowing when, feebly.

Follow.

The mountains are silent, there is no sound everywhere, there is deathly silence.

"Commander, what on earth happened...?" a female guard captain asked softly.

Zhang Ruomei was silent for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe God is blessing us. This avalanche saved us all."

"Maybe. God has opened his eyes." Everyone nodded.

There has not been an avalanche in the Snowy Mountains in the north for so many years, but this time such a huge avalanche suddenly broke out at this juncture. Isn't this an eye-opener for God?

"More than 10,000 Jin soldiers...are all gone just like that? All dead? I can't believe it." Someone murmured.

Zhang Ruomei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, those who do unrighteousness will be punished by themselves. God will take them away. Second sister Yang, third sister Li, and sister-in-law Wang, please inform everyone of the situation immediately. The rest of the people, follow me to search the battlefield. See

See if anyone is alive or hiding, and kill them all."

The three female guards accepted the promise and hurried down the cliff. Zhang Ruomei led everyone on the snowfield to search for the remaining enemies. Just when they reached the opposite valley, someone suddenly pointed to the mountainside where the avalanche occurred on the west side and shouted loudly

He shouted: "What is that? Someone is coming."

Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw that on the white snow slope on the mountainside, dozens of black spots were coming quickly. They were hunting in cloaks, like eagles flying over the snow.
