Huang Cheng stood on the tower of Wengcheng with a long sword in hand, looking at the soldiers from both sides who were fighting and fighting.
After Fang Yue suddenly appeared, Jia Qu and Huang Cheng divided their duties and guarded the north and south cities respectively. The focus was on protecting the city gates.
Originally, Huang Cheng planned to search the entire city and catch all the suspicious people hiding among the laborers and in the city, but Jia Qu disagreed.
Because it is not easy to catch people in a small-scale search, but a large-scale search will require the deployment of a large number of soldiers, and will also cause panic among the people in the city.
What people outside the city most want to see is probably the civil strife in Huguan City.
Jia Qu's advice is to guard the city gate.
Because no matter what the people hiding in the city do, their ultimate goal is to cause riots, and the city gate is their ultimate goal, so as long as you keep an eye on the city gate, you are keeping an eye on these people in the city.
But I didn’t expect these people to actually set fire to the south of the city!
In this way, although there is no problem for Huang Cheng to lead his troops to guard the south of the city, it will be a little difficult to quickly support the north of the city...
However, for now, let’s get rid of Fang Yue’s team first!
"Throw fierce fire oil!" Huang Cheng ordered coldly.
On both sides of the Wengcheng tower, there are several small trebuchets. These were left behind when Fei sneaked away. They were also originally prepared to attack Huguan, but unexpectedly they were used for defense today...
The fierce fire oil was brought over by the Linghu clan's caravan. The quantity was not very large, but the lethality of this thing was very huge. Huang Cheng had already dumped some when he ordered the troops on the outer wall to retreat. Now,
The rest are the final blow to crush Fang Yue's troops.
The fire oil tank was thrown high by the catapult and landed in the urn city. Almost the moment it hit the ground, the scattered mixed oil was ignited by the flames, and then formed a huge ring of fire, covering an area of several feet.
All the soldiers were swallowed up in the fire!
The soldiers from both sides who were fighting on the city wall at the junction of the inner and outer walls were startled by the huge fire. They couldn't help but stop their hands and turned to look inside the urn.
Huge flames soared into the sky, even burning to the same height as the city wall. A scorching heat wave hit our faces, baking so much that even the soldiers standing by the city wall were sweating profusely even in the cold night of early spring.
Fang Yue's soldiers in the urn city ran wildly in the flames, screaming, and then were overtaken and wrapped by the flames. In the end, they could only see a faint black shadow in a bright yellow, and finally disappeared in the flames...
…
"kill!"
Huang Cheng's soldiers, who were the first to react, were greatly boosted in morale and shouted in unison. The sword and shield bearers lined up in a row held their shields, leaned on each other, and pushed outward with all their strength. Huang Cheng's archers above the barbican were gone.
From the threat below the urn city, they began to concentrate on suppressing Fang Yue's soldiers on the city wall.
Although Fang Yue's ideas are wonderful, things that are too ideal will always be bruised and bruised in the face of reality.
The elite personal guards sent up were mixed with the ordinary soldiers who were suddenly panicked by the flames. They did not exert the effect of one plus one greater than two. On the contrary, it was because of the scattering of ordinary soldiers that Fang Yue's elite soldiers were not fully able to fight.
Use all your strength.
The arrows shot from the side made Fang Yue's soldiers unable to defend themselves. They were hit by the arrows one after another and either fell to the ground or screamed and fell off the city wall.
"No!" Fang Yue was a little crazy. Fortunately, he did not follow the large troops into the barbican city, but climbed up the ladder to the outer city wall. Although there was no threat of fire for the time being, he was still heartbroken when he saw the miserable state of his soldiers.
, his eye sockets almost burst.
Flames seemed to be everywhere, burning everywhere. Fang Yue's soldiers pushed each other, and some people were pushed to the ground. Then dozens of big feet stepped on them, and the screams ended after a few screams...
The soldiers had no intention of continuing the attack. They all just wanted to escape from the fire as quickly as possible. So at the gate of the outer city of Huguan, many people got stuck together, huddled in a pile, unable to move, and fled outside the city.
On the contrary, the speed is even slower.
"General, what should we do?"
The soldiers in the urn city were almost useless, and the soldiers on the city wall could not rush through. Fang Yue, who was in a dilemma, had his face twisted in pain.
But soon, Huang Chengcheng made a choice for Fang Yue, and seven or eight fireballs crossed over the Wengcheng and flew towards the tower of the outer city wall!
Several fireballs directly hit Fang Yue's soldiers who were crowded in the outer city gate, and immediately engulfed these unlucky people in the flames. Two or three of the fireballs were higher and hit Fang Yue directly above the city gate.
Wherever you stand!
"General, be careful!"
When several guards saw the fireball coming, they raised their large shields and pushed forward.
A fireball had lost all its flight momentum and landed on the edge of the city wall in front of Fang Yue's guards with a "pop" sound, causing flames and sparks to scatter in the air.
"ah……"
Before Fang Yue's guard in front of him, who was holding a large shield, could put down his raised heart, he heard Fang Yue behind him suddenly scream. He turned around and found sparks spraying from nowhere and igniting fire.
It caught Fang Yue's clothes and started to spread instantly!
Several guards rushed forward, slapping constantly, trying to extinguish the flames on Fang Yue's body, but what frightened him was that the ignited flames could not be extinguished no matter what, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
…
"General! Armor! Take off your armor quickly!"
Regardless of the pain caused by the flames, the guards tore Fang Yue's clothes and armor, and finally succeeded in stripping Fang Yue clean before the flames completely spread.
The guard hurriedly threw the burning armor to the side, and then found that the armor actually ignited the ground, and a bigger flame came out. He was so frightened that he hurriedly protected Fang Yue and hid back!
"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"
Fang Yue, who was almost naked, was like a chicken that had shed all its feathers. She subconsciously wrapped herself tightly around the guard and took off her outer robe. She no longer had any ferocious aura. She panicked and wanted to evacuate. Suddenly, she stepped under her feet.
He slipped and fell to the ground. He quickly stood up holding the parapet and followed the ladder to escape out of the city...
Another fireball flew into the sky and hit the corner of the city gate building. The burning grass and branches suddenly spread out and enveloped Fang Yue and others who were preparing to escape below!
The section of the parapet that came into contact with flames and sparks suddenly burst into flames without any warning, immediately licking Fang Yue who was holding on to the parapet as she prepared to descend from the ladder.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The thin outer robe, beard and hair were immediately ignited by the flames. Fang Yue quickly slapped her with her hands, but she didn't expect that her arms were instantly ignited by the flames. Wherever she slapped her hands, the skin began to burn, and the pain was heartbreaking.
Scream!
"General, be careful!"
The guard's reminder was already too late. Fang Yue, who was in unbearable pain from the fire, lost his legs and feet, and immediately fell from the high ladder with flames. Like a burning flower, he fell to the ground with a "dong" sound.
went up, twitched a few times, and then there was no movement in the flames...
Comrade Pang Yuet of Hanoi worked hard all his life, was loyal to the people, the country and the party. He was also unambiguous in his performances and insisted on not using a substitute. Unfortunately, an accidental fall occurred. He died at...um...how old was he?
