Chapter 221 The Passionate Fire and the Deadly Water II
Chapter 221 Passionate Fire, and the Deadly Water (2)
The two generals rushed over with a group of soldiers. If those enemy soldiers were to attack the city wall, the enemy's morale would be greatly increased.
Over there, Tie Hu led the Tie family generals and poured boiling oil on them, causing the enemy soldiers below to scream in agony.
"Light a fire! Burn this thing!" Tiehu said, pointing to the ladder.
The ladder was originally outside the moat, relying on wooden planks and iron hooks to hook up to the city wall. If it was burned, the enemy soldiers would definitely be unable to get through.
At this time, five wells had arrived, facing the city wall of Lingxue City across the river. The enemy soldiers above fired back with their crossbows, causing heavy casualties.
Although Yeyue was standing on the city wall, even if he didn't use his magical power to defend himself, even the sharpshooter's arrows wouldn't be able to do any damage to him based on his physical strength alone, so there was no need to worry at all.
"Throw boiling oil." Yeyue made something like a catapult, put the burning oil into small bags, and threw it out.
Tens of thousands of small bags flew down from the sky. After a while, the ground outside the city was covered with kerosene. Many unlucky people were smashed on the spot. Although the kerosene was cold, anyone who was hit by a bag of oil would be knocked out.
It won't feel good if it's dropped from a high altitude.
The bag hit the ground, kerosene flowed out, and a strong smell of oil emanated.
What did they want to do? It was not good. Could it be that the old man was startled and hurriedly shouted: "The whole army retreats."
It's not that easy to leave. Yeyue showed her white teeth and said, "Set a rocket."
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired together, with blazing flames on the arrows, and shot into the ground. There were countless weeds on the land outside Lingxue City. When the fire touched the oil, it was like a dragon entering the sea, and began to make waves. The raging fire quickly spread, bringing with it
With the sound of "crackling" burning weeds, countless enemy soldiers were on fire, running around and howling miserably. The scene was extremely ferocious.
The passionate flames wrapped around the bodies of the enemy soldiers, and the soldiers in Lingxue City could not bear to close their eyes due to the shrill howls.
Even Tiehu sighed, this is too poisonous, but the poison is good and the poison is wonderful. It seems that Yeyue has some backup plans. He should pray silently for these enemy soldiers, but he has to fight with such a pervert.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Tamuqi trembled, leading his soldiers to retreat frantically. Countless enemy soldiers who had no time to escape were burned to death outside the city.
Many people couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene outside the city. Yeyue also shook her head, closed her eyes lightly, and said secretly: "Don't blame me, who made you the enemy? Don't be enemies of the Holy Empire in the next life****
**"
Why bother? Even more people would die if they were beaten back and forth. Yeyue felt very melancholy.
The enemy troops quickly retreated and disappeared outside the city within a moment, leaving only thirty to fifty thousand burnt corpses behind, blown by the silent wind.
Ye Yue sighed, after all, it was still on a large flat land with an open area. If it was in a dense forest, this fire would at least reduce the opponent's number by another hundred thousand soldiers! Even the entire army was not impossible.
A fire burned nearly 50,000 soldiers. If they were not on flat ground, it would be good to escape with 50,000 soldiers. Tamuqi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. With 400,000 soldiers, in just a few days, only 30,000 soldiers were left.
Wan Duodian, this Iron Tiger, how could he have so many evil ideas?
After this battle, the morale of the Tianfeng Empire army was greatly damaged, and Tamuqi retreated to the lowlands twenty miles away to the west!
The soldiers of Lingxue City cheered endlessly. After the brief cheers, there was silence. Although more than 100,000 enemy soldiers were killed or injured, nearly 50,000 people on their own side also died. If the consumption continues at this rate, even if the war situation can still be maintained, wouldn't both sides perish together?
What's more, after the opponent suffers a few losses, he will learn to be more alert.
Yeyue frowned and walked slowly on top of the wall.
Sora stepped forward and said, "Master, are you worried about how to defeat the enemy?"
Yeyue took a deep look outside the city and sighed: "We have a strategy to defeat the enemy, but I don't know if I should implement it well?"
"What's the plan? Master, can you tell me? Maybe I can help."
Yeyue did not answer, but pointed to a river in the distance outside the city.
Sola's eyes lit up and he said, "Master, do you want to dig a river channel?"
Yeyue nodded, "Yes, flood it with water. This vast flat land is where they are buried. It's not easy to go, so we go to the lower part of the west gate, clearly giving us a chance, but******"
"But what?"
Yeyue said: "If there are people under the rule outside the city, and there are thousands of acres of fertile farmland and hundreds of houses outside the city, this flooding will be devastating."
Sola frowned and stood for a moment, "Master, with all due respect, between the tens of thousands of people outside this city and the hundreds of thousands of people in Lingxue City, who is more important?"
Yeyue nodded, "I know it too, but I still can't bear it. It's inevitable. Go tell Tiehu that he will gather all the people outside the city within an hour and dig out the river. This will only cause suffering to the owners of those fertile lands and houses."
."
At the Tianfeng military camp, Tamuqi sat with several generals. Thinking of the big loss he suffered yesterday, the old man still felt the urge to vomit blood, and said bitterly: "Tomorrow, let the generals under my command eat well, and fight with the iron."
The winner will be determined by the tiger! If Lingxue City cannot be captured, there will be no victory." Before he finished speaking, he seemed to vaguely hear a loud bang, and looked at the generals to confirm that he heard correctly.
After a few breaths, the roaring sound just now seems to be getting louder or getting closer?
"What's the noise?"
"I don't know!" The generals were about to call someone in for questioning. Suddenly, a messenger hurried in and said to Tamuqi and the generals in panic, "Marshal, general, it's not good, it's not good, water is bad."
******water******"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" the old man frowned and snorted.
"Water?" the old man muttered, his face suddenly changed, and he and the generals suddenly stepped out of the tent, and then exclaimed, "Ah!"
The old man stared blankly at the vast expanse of white at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and the water was covering the sky and the earth.
I originally thought that Tie Hu would not bear to let the scattered people, fields and houses outside the city be submerged. That was why the old man did not notice the river that was so close to him.
"Hypocritical benevolence and false righteousness! Hypocritical benevolence and false righteousness!" the old man yelled crazily towards the sky.
"Marshal, let's retreat quickly. The pursuers will arrive later."
The old man said bitterly, "Withdraw, you can bring as many troops as you can with you!"
"Yes!" The generals shouted and followed the old man on horseback and galloped out.
The huge waves immediately submerged the camp, and the panic of Tianfeng soldiers was heard everywhere. Listening to all this, the old man was heartbroken.
Tiehu, don't be complacent, I haven't lost yet. Tamuqi led some of his soldiers to rush to higher places crazily.
Due to the flooding, only 50,000 of the Tianfeng army originally numbered 300,000 were left. Tamuqi and his soldiers huddled on a mountain for two days and could not leave! The Holy Empire was victorious!
