When hundreds of rockets were fired rapidly towards our own formation, thousands of Wei troops did not feel panic.
They are well-trained soldiers from the Great Wei Dynasty with rich experience in fighting against each other.
Thousands of generals in the Wei army shouted out orders almost immediately.
And when those orders spread throughout the phalanx of thousands of Wei troops, thousands of Wei troops who had already been mentally prepared raised their shields above their heads.
Thousands of Wei soldiers firmly believed that the shields wrapped in rawhide could easily block the flames falling from the sky.
Guo Huai and all the Wei generals who saw this scene also believed in this.
When hundreds of loose rockets fell into the square formation of thousands of Wei troops, only some of them hit the shields held high in the hands of the Wei troops.
When those rockets touched the shield in Wei Jun's hand, they fell straight to the ground like a powerless kite.
Originally, when things developed to this point, everything did not exceed Wei Jun's expectations.
It is a pity that a fatal accident is about to happen to thousands of Wei troops.
Among the hundreds of rockets, many of them directly passed through the gaps in the Wei army's shield wall and landed on the ground due to accuracy issues.
According to common sense, when a flaming arrow hits the ground, the flame on the arrow will automatically extinguish soon.
After all, the technology for extracting kerosene in this era was still very backward, and the flammability of low-purity kerosene was not very good.
But when the flames that were about to disappear touched the stone fat flowing at the feet of the Wei army, a huge change occurred that no Wei army had expected.
What happens when oil meets fire?
Almost instantly, many streams of fire, like fire coming out of hell, rose at the feet of the Wei troops.
This scene was beyond the understanding of all Wei Jun.
Therefore, when many fires suddenly ignited violently on the ground and climbed towards them at an extremely fast speed, many Wei soldiers were frightened and overwhelmed by the scene in front of them.
But the severe pain that came from their bodies soon made the thousands of Wei soldiers regain their senses.
After regaining their senses, many Wei soldiers relied on their survival instincts and began to flee around the mountain road.
Some fast-running Wei soldiers were the first to escape from the center of the spreading fire, and then they quickly fell to the ground and rolled over, trying to extinguish the raging fire on their bodies.
Unfortunately, this method does not work for fires caused by oil.
After the bottles and jars thrown by the Han army exploded on the ground, it was inevitable that most of the Wei soldiers present were contaminated with some oil.
Although there are only a few, it is enough.
Many Wei soldiers rolling on the ground discovered that their rolling not only did not extinguish the flames on their bodies, but on the contrary, the continuous churning of the air further fueled the flames on their bodies.
It didn't take long, just a few breaths later, the increasingly fierce fire enveloped all the Wei troops in an instant.
The sizzling sound, coupled with the wails of countless Wei troops, constantly resounded in the deep mountain roads of Gushan.
In addition to the scalp-numbing sound, bursts of burning smell were also blown by the breeze and spread around.
When bursts of burning smell wafted into the nostrils of the Han and Wei armies, many people's bodies naturally reacted with nausea.
What was burned was not animal flesh, but living human beings!
And all of this, in the eyes of others, almost only happened in an instant.
Just a moment ago, the Wei army was still arrogant and eager to capture the Han army's camp.
At this moment, the Wei army was like a roast chicken, constantly suffering in the boundless fire.
Because all this happened too fast and was so unreasonable, Guo Huai looked a little dull after seeing all this.
What is that dark paste?
For the first time, fear appeared in Guo Huai's heart.
Because of the fear in his heart, what Guo Huai didn't notice was that at some point, the drumstick in his hand fell heavily to the ground because of his weakness.
When the heavy drumstick fell on the table at Guo Huai's feet, there was a heavy muffled sound.
This muffled sound was like the lamentation of the Wei army at this moment, constantly invading the hearts of other generals on the Chao chariot.
How could they not be afraid of something that even Guo Huai was afraid of?
Originally, they gathered with Guo Huai on the chao chariot today to see how brave their own tiger soldiers were.
But now they were watching how their own son, Fang Erlang, was attacked by the raging fire.
How sad and heartbreaking this is!
However, Guo Huai is indeed a man who has seen the world. He was the first one among the Wei generals on the chariot to react.
He saw that there were still many Wei troops seeking help in the fierce fire in the Gu Valley Road. He immediately issued an order:
"Save, save with water!"
Even if it takes countless amounts of water, water must be used to create an escape channel for the surviving Wei army!
Because the Wei troops in the mountain road at this moment are all elite soldiers.
Guo Huai's order was quickly passed down below. Immediately after receiving Guo Huai's order, the general commanded the auxiliary troops to push the carts filled with water to the mountain road.
There are nearly 100,000 people living in Guo Huai's camp, and the water reserves in his camp are certainly very rich.
However, when the vehicles loaded with buckets entered the mountain road, the advancing auxiliary soldiers soon discovered that they could not continue to move forward at all.
By this time, the raging fire had almost completely enveloped the area where thousands of Wei troops were located.
The boiling fire light illuminated the originally deep mountain road extremely brightly.
Similarly, the mountain road seemed very hot at this moment.
It's like the scorching sun from the sky has fallen into this mountain road.
How can one get involved in such a dangerous environment?
With no other option, the captain who commanded the auxiliary soldiers could only ask the auxiliary soldiers to pour water on the outside first.
What the captain was thinking was that after the fire outside was extinguished by water, he would direct the auxiliary soldiers to push the water truck deeper and deeper.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What the captain did not expect was that when a large amount of water was poured on the flames on the ground, not only did the flames not go out, but they seemed to be
With just a little help, the fever becomes more intense!
Almost everyone knows that water and fire are in conflict with each other. In the past, no matter how raging the flames were, as long as there was a lot of water, they could always be extinguished.
But now?
It's just that the water he brought didn't put out the fire. Instead, it only fueled the fire. This scene was enough to destroy the three views and made the captain's mentality explode.
When people encounter something that cannot be explained by common sense, they usually think about ghosts and gods.
At this time, the captain felt that the fire in front of him was not an earthly fire, but was released by the gods.
Thinking of this, the fear in the captain's heart invaded his reason. Without thinking, he left the auxiliary soldiers and ran towards the rear camp.
After the captain escaped, the auxiliary soldiers had no one to control them, and they all dispersed, fleeing towards the rear as if they were desperate for their lives.
So not long after, Guo Huai's attempt to save his regular soldiers completely failed.
Without the captain's reply, Guo Huai, who was standing high on the chariot, saw this strange scene.
Not only did he see it, but the Wei generals behind him also saw it.
After seeing this scene, most people on the Chao car had the same thoughts as the Wei military captain.
Could it be that God has not abandoned the Han Dynasty yet, and the Han army has really received help from the gods?
As soon as this idea came to mind, many Wei soldiers couldn't help but be shocked.
If that's the case, then what about them?
At this moment, the bodies of Wei Jun in the mountain road were being attacked by fierce fire.
And these Wei generals on the chao chariot seemed to have a wildfire in their hearts, which was constantly tormenting their hearts.
Guo Huai quickly noticed the abnormality of the Wei generals.
Using oneself to save others, Guo Huai guessed the thoughts in the minds of these Wei generals at this time.
Is God still on the side of the Han Dynasty?
Guo Huai didn't believe this idea at all.
If this is really the case, when the late emperor proclaimed himself king and today he proclaims himself emperor, why didn't heaven send down a thunderbolt to kill them directly?
If there really are ghosts and gods in the world who look down on all living beings, then for thousands of years, China has been in constant wars, with countless civilians killed and injured, so why don't they take action to stabilize the situation?
The Master does not talk about strange powers and chaos. Since saints do not believe in ghosts and gods, how can Guo Huai, a disciple of Confucianism, believe in it?
Guo Huai only believes in humanity!
Guo Huai knew that the reason why all kinds of weird situations happened today was not because of the illusory ghosts and gods, but because of the paste that he had never seen before.
The world is full of wonders. There really is a flammable substance that he has never seen before. What's so strange about it?
It's just that the emotions of the subordinates also need to be comforted, otherwise if they are allowed to think wildly, the morale of the army will be affected.
"If the Han army really had divine help, why would Ma Chao risk such a huge threat to guard this solid mountain road?
Wouldn’t it be normal to directly use the power of ghosts and gods to destroy our army?”
When Guo Huai's words spread throughout the chao chariot, all the Wei generals on the chao chariot were awakened by Guo Huai's words.
This reason is very simple, but just now the Wei generals did not think of this because they were frightened and confused by the authorities.
Now when someone woke them up, they all dispelled the panic in their hearts.
After they regained their composure, Wei generals soon came forward to ask Guo Huai what they should do next.
How to do?
Upon hearing this question, Guo Huai felt an unknown fire in his heart.
What else can be done? If we don’t retreat at this time, should we continue to send regular soldiers in to die?
Guo Huai looked at the area in the distance that was slightly distorted by the flames. He knew that the thousands of Wei troops in that area could not be saved.
After knowing this, Guo Huai decisively issued the order to withdraw his troops.
Since he can't be saved, Guo Huai will not waste any more energy to save him.
However, after issuing the order, General Guo still inevitably felt heartache and anger.
The Han army did not even touch the camp wall, but thousands of regular soldiers were lost.
This loss is not insignificant.
Most importantly, this loss is a strong proof that Ma Chao has overcome the dilemma he set up.
Ma Mengqi, I really have you!
After Ming Jin retreated his troops in the Wei army's camp, another order from Guo Huai spread throughout the army soon after.
The whole army retreats three miles!
Who knows whether that weird demonic fire will take advantage of the wind and burn all the way to our camp?
Until the origin of that strange paste-like substance is found out, it is always right to be cautious.
Ma Chao stood on the camp wall, with calm eyes, watching thousands of Wei troops wailing and being swallowed up by the continuous fire.
Soon after, the wails of thousands of Wei troops gradually stopped.
Under such fierce flames, no one among the thousands of Wei troops could survive.
In just one battle, thousands of Wei troops were easily wiped out. Such a result was truly remarkable.
But there was no joy in Ma Chao's eyes, and of course he was not like Guo Huai, who had regrets and pain in his heart.
After all, those devoured by the fire are all his enemies.
At this moment, Ma Chao thought of the many auxiliary soldiers of the Wei army who had also died in that area yesterday.
Different identities, but in the same place, got the same end.
If you think about it carefully, it's quite ironic.
The paste he asked the Han army to throw just now is called Shizhi in some places in Liangzhou.
Stone fat is a natural creation between heaven and earth. They float on the water and are very flammable.
People in some places in Liangzhou often use stone grease as simple lighting objects.
However, because stone fat is difficult to collect, few people in Liangzhou know about it.
Even though Ma Chao's family has lived in Liangzhou for hundreds of years and has deep-rooted influence in Liangzhou, he heard about this by chance.
At that time, Ma Chao was undecided. After hearing about it, he felt that this thing was quite magical, so he ordered people to collect some.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
But it was Ma Dai who suggested that he use stone fat as fire oil. Without Ma Dai's reminder, he would not have achieved today's victory.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, Ma Chao planned to write a battle report to Mi Yang and inform Mi Yang of Ma Dai's performance in this battle.
If Ma Dai can be appreciated by Mi Yang, Ma Dai will have a solid backer among the Han Dynasty in the future.
Of course, if you want to mention Ma Dai's contribution, the existence of Shi Zhi must also be mentioned to Mi Yang.
After all, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ma Chao wouldn't have been able to believe that Shi Zhi would be so powerful when exposed to open fire.
However, Ma Chao felt that Mi Yang would not be interested in items like Shizhi. As a member of a famous family, Mi Yang should not be interested in such kinky techniques.
After seeing that there was no other movement by the Wei army, Ma Chao asked Ma Dai to stay on the camp wall, and then he walked down the camp wall himself.
The Liangzhou army on the camp wall watched Ma Chao leave with admiring eyes.
Just now, Ma Chao led them to victory again.
Two consecutive victories were enough for Ma Chao to establish his own prestige in the hearts of the Liangzhou troops.
But just after Ma Chao returned to his tent, he received some not-so-good news.
Mi Yang's messenger has arrived.
The reason why Ma Chao felt that the arrival of Mi Yang's envoy was not a good thing was because he knew that Mi Yang would not send the envoy if nothing happened.
Especially when he didn't report any battle situation.
The sudden arrival of Mi Yang's envoy must have been due to his action of leading his army into Wudu County, which was reported to Mi Yang by Zhang Yi.
Will Mi Yang agree with his actions?
Ma Chao has no confidence.
After all, there is a difference between closeness and distance. Zhang Yi is Mi Yang's confidant. Mi Yang must emotionally believe in Zhang Yi's words.
If Mi Yang had a grudge against Zhang Yi because of his performance.
Worried, Ma Chao summoned Mi Yang's envoy.
The messenger is Lu Yi.
Well, Lu Yi was one of the people under Mi Yang who looked down upon Ma Chao the most.
Seeing that it was Lu Yi, a square gentleman, who had arrived, Ma Chao became more worried.
His past has almost made him a thorn in the flesh of all gentlemen in the world.
Mi Yang's attitude seems obvious. If you like Mi Han, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Mi Han's novel search website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
