Chapter 1769 Not crushed to death, but hacked to death
Barry took a breath and could hardly believe his eyes.
In this situation, there is only one possibility, and that is that the Emperor of Xia had already withdrawn from the plains before they launched the attack!
But the problem is that his plan is perfect and he must guard against it.
And with the lessons learned from being betrayed before, this time he selected only his own confidants, and his soldiers had no idea of his plan.
"What's going on? Why is there no one here?!"
I planned everything painstakingly, but in the end it all came to nothing. The difference is simply unacceptable.
Behind him, Norman stepped forward and glanced around. Zhang Er was confused: "Strange, the general had clearly seen them setting up camp before, so why is there no one here?"
Barry frowned, lost in thought.
Nothing in the camp was packed away, which shows that the Xia army's evacuation was extremely hasty. They must have suddenly learned some news, so they left in a hurry.
"Could it be that there is an internal problem in the Xia Kingdom? The Emperor of the Xia Kingdom needs to go back immediately to solve it?"
Until now, Barry had never thought that his plan might have been leaked.
After all, he has strictly restricted all information this time. Except for a few of his confidants, few of his generals know the specific plan.
Including all troop movements, they are all normal movements. Ordinary soldiers don't even know where they are going and can only act according to orders.
In addition to the fact that there are criss-crossing water holes under the plain, or he accidentally learned from the records, this plan is extremely secretive, and it is logically impossible for it to be leaked.
What he didn't know was that among his soldiers, there was a strange man like Adolf.
Just through some troop mobilization and clues, you can guess what Barry wants to do.
"Gather the entire army and let the surrounding armies move closer to me."
Barry thought about it over and over, but couldn't figure out the cause and effect, so he could only give up thinking.
It was just a pity that he had managed to arrange such a perfect situation, but it was ruined by some unexpected incident.
"Divide three armies and march to the surrounding areas. Even if the Emperor of Daxia escapes, those previous armies cannot be spared..."
As he spoke, Barry suddenly stopped and stared straight at his feet.
It was a piece of gravel, unremarkable and featureless.
But at this moment, it seems to have vitality, it is beating slightly, and the amplitude is getting higher and higher.
This scene immediately attracted his attention.
"What's going on? This stone...is not good!"
The next moment, Barry's face turned pale as he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility.
He suddenly got on his horse, pulled the reins, and started galloping while roaring angrily.
"Everyone is here! Evacuate immediately!"
"Abandon all obstacles and evacuate immediately!"
The generals around him were all confused when they saw their deputy commander looking like this, and they couldn't figure out what he was doing.
But everyone still followed Barry's orders loyally and began to prepare to evacuate.
Unfortunately, it was too late after all!
Boom!
Suddenly, the ground seemed to be hollowed out and suddenly collapsed.
The soldiers standing there fell directly into it without even letting out a scream.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of stones rolled down and completely buried them!
Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked.
"what happened?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
"It's a subsidence, a subsidence!"
Barry was horrified, and his heart was filled with fear.
"Damn it! It's an underground water hole. Someone exploded the underground water hole!"
The scene just now was clearly caused by the earthquake caused by the collapse of the underground tunnel's pillars, which caused the stones to beat like that.
I saw deep pits appearing all around, and a large number of soldiers fell into them before they even had time to evacuate.
As for the soldiers who had already started taking action, they also suffered heavy losses.
The appearance of burrows is irregular and there is no warning. I often run away, but suddenly a hole appears under my feet, and I don’t even have time to hide!
"Help! Help..."
"Ah! I don't want to die!"
"Get away! Get away! There's a hole in front of you!"
Countless screams and wails echoed across the plains, one after another, and soldiers would fall into caves almost every moment.
Barry was very lucky. He fled with his subordinates and finally succeeded in escaping to the edge of the plain.
Looking back, the plain was filled with dust and smoke and was covered with ruins.
The soldiers' wails and screams came faintly from the dust and smoke, like groans from hell.
Barry's eyes were red, and while he was still frightened, he was also full of anger.
"Bastard! What the hell is going on? Who is responsible for the explosion?!"
He thought that it was his own soldiers in charge of the explosion who did not know the situation above and detonated the underground water hole again, which caused such a situation.
Beside him, Norman heard the words and hurriedly stepped forward and said urgently: "Sir Barry, Soraman is responsible for this!"
"Call him here! How many of our soldiers have been killed by this bastard!" Barry was furious, his right hand pressed tightly on the knight's sword at his waist, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
This fall caused the loss of at least a quarter of his army.
The remaining soldiers were more or less injured, and they suffered heavy losses.
The most important thing is that there is no gain from this loss, not even a few soldiers from the Xia Kingdom are left. How can this make him not angry?
Not long after, several soldiers hurried over and knelt in front of Barry.
"Are you Soraman's men?" Barry's eyes were dark and he shouted sternly: "Where are the others? Let him get out and see me!"
The soldiers knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and spoke tremblingly.
"Lord Qi, General Soraman is already dead..."
"died?!"
Barry looked shocked as a body was carried out from behind by the soldiers and placed in front of him.
Judging by his appearance, it turned out to be his subordinate Soraman.
"Sir, when we found Lord Soraman, he was already dead in the cave closest to here."
Barry got off his horse and came to the corpse, feeling angry and funny.
Who are the people under his command? He was asked to be responsible for detonating the underground cave, but he failed to escape and was actually crushed to death!
"That's enough, take him away and bury him on the spot!"
The person is dead, and Barry can't express his anger no matter how angry he is.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly thought of Soraman's injuries. He quickly turned around and strode to the body, squatting down to inspect it.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't check it, he will be surprised when he does.
"Soraman was not crushed to death by the collapsed cave, but was hacked to death!"
