Chapter 157: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat
As the ladder reached the top of the city, the battering ram began to pound the gates.
Yang Jian gave an order.
"Drain oil. ”
......
Few people know that there is a secret passage in the rammed walls.
This secret passage is very narrow and inaccessible to pedestrians.
It is used to store oil.
Ran Yan can refine fire oil, and it is not impossible to leave Yue.
When Yang Jian ordered the oil to be drained, there were many bowl-like openings at the halfway waist of the city wall of Haifenmen.
When the sergeant in charge of the oil drain opened the valve, black oil sprayed out of these ports.
For a while, Sergeant Ran Yan on the ladder was sprayed with fire oil.
But that's not the goal.
The final destination of the oil is the moat.
Whereas, oil is insoluble in water.
As a result, a thick layer of fire oil soon floated on the moat in front of the Hai Feng Gate. In addition, the Vietnamese sergeant also temporarily closed the sluices on the two sections of the moat of Hai Fen Gate in advance. In this way, the oil on the surface of the river will not run away.
"Ignition. ”
As Yang Jian gave the order again, rockets fell into the moat.
So, in an instant, the fire started.
The sergeants of Ran Yan, who were burning with fire oil, turned into burning men, fell from the ladder, and then rolled into the river full of fire.
These tragic images abound.
At the same time, the Yamabara army on the other side of the moat stopped the offensive.
They couldn't break through the flaming moat. I could only watch as those comrades on the ladder were killed one by one by the Liyue soldiers.
As for the Ran Yan soldiers in front of Hai Feng Gate, although they were not burned by the fire, they no longer had the courage to continue to attack the city.
Even if the door is broken, how can they stop the enemy army?
But Yang Jian still didn't plan to let these people live too long.
As the ropes fell, more than 100 soldiers from Vietnam slipped down the ropes.
These Liyue soldiers were all cultivators who had entered the cultivation process, and after they landed at the bottom of the city, they began to slaughter Ran Yan's soldiers.
Kong Qiu is also in this group of sergeants.
He held a long knife and kept cutting down Sergeant Ran Yan who had attacked the moat.
Although these Ran Yan soldiers are all strong soldiers, most of them have never practiced, so these people are not enough to kill in Kong Qiu's eyes.
But just as Kong Qiu cut off the head of an enemy soldier, a gust of wind hit him in the back.
Kong Qiu immediately returned to the knife to block.
"Bell. ”
With a loud bang, the blood from Kong Qiu's mouth flowed.
And in front of him, a general Ran Yan looked at him with a murderous face.
"To be the common name. Kong Qiu paused and said, "I am Kong Qiu, the commander of the Western Battalion." ”
"Lao Tzu is Dong Cheng, the commander of Ran Yan's forward battalion. ”
Dong Cheng said coldly.
Originally, he almost climbed the ladder to the top of the city, but when he was only one step away, he was cut down by a Liyue general.
That Liyue general is Yang Jian.
Yang Jian and Dong Cheng are both at the peak of the strength of Tuomai, and because Yang Jian is at a high level, he barely won Dong Cheng.
After Dong Cheng fell down the ladder, the fire started.
With his ability, it would not be a problem to cross the wall of fire and return to the other side of the moat. But the anger in his heart still made him can't help but stay.
After the Liyue sergeant slid down from the city and slashed the remaining Ran Yan soldiers, Dong Cheng also began the massacre.
His realm far surpasses those soldiers who leave Vietnam, and he is naturally one by one, and he sees blood with his sword.
In the melee, Dong Cheng saw Kong Qiu, who was killing and killing, and immediately attacked him.
He could see that Kong Qiu was definitely a cultivator of the Extension Pulse Realm.
If you behead this person, it will be more or less a credit.
After all, there are not many Tuomai realms in Liyue.
As Dong Cheng expected, Kong Qiu came up and said that he was the chief general of the Western Battalion. This made Dong Cheng very excited. Because Ran Yan needs a head of the main general too much.
It's just that he seems to have forgotten the information he saw before, that is, the commander of the big camp in the west of Liyue is called Yang Jian.
"Come on. Dong Cheng slashed down with a knife, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Although he is a disciple of Luoxia's outer sect, as Cui Xiang's pawn, he still learned a lot of Luoxia exercises.
At the same time, years of conquest have also made Dong Cheng very powerful.
Moreover, judging from the sneak attack just now, Kong Qiu's realm is also expanding the middle realm.
Dong Cheng believed that with his cultivation advantage and combat methods, he would kill Kong Qiu in Shihe.
......
Kong Qiu was also very excited.
Because he met a forward battalion commander of Ran Yan.
If this person is beheaded, he will definitely be famous among the three armies.
But the key is that he has taken seven steps back in front of Dong Cheng.
If it weren't for the long knife in his hand, it was a treasure knife that He Gang had brought from the arsenal, and it had been cut off by Dong Cheng's continuous chopping knife at this moment.
"Suffer death. ”
Dong Cheng saw that Kong Qiu was forced to retreat again and again by himself, becoming more and more powerful, and suddenly fell again with a knife.
This sword gesture is the Luoxia Sect's drawing knife to cut off the water, which is very powerful.
Kong Qiu saw a dazzling knife light falling towards him, and suddenly remembered a knife technique that Su Wei said.
That knife technique was also told to Su Wei by Xiahou Jing.
It is a broken knife style realized by Wu Guang, the former Zhongzhou Xingyang guard, in the army.
It's called 'Shipwreck'.
That's what it means to fight against the odds.
At this time, Kong Qiu was like this.
Although he didn't get the same adventure as He Gang, Su Wei's transmission in the ear room that day, Kong Qiu, who had always been careful, remembered more than He Gang.
Moreover, he told He Gang about this again afterwards.
Although He Gang didn't understand it at that time, the two did not give up.
This morning, Di Yunsheng distributed the pill and gave Kong Qiu a Guyuan pill.
The function of this pill is to stabilize the realm.
Di Yunsheng had already seen that although Kong Qiu had expanded his pulse, his realm was not stable.
Instability is a crisis.
After Kong Qiu got the pill, he took it.
During this period, he took care of the injured He Gangshi, who had practiced for a short time.
It's just that due to the short time, the medicinal power of Gu Yuan Dan has not been completely dissolved.
Even so, Kong Qiu's originally unstable Extension Pulse Middle Realm was still more stable than usual.
These advantages have allowed him to never stop when he exerts his 'breaking the boat'.
Because 'Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat' pays attention to the last to come, but if it is slower, his head will become Dong Cheng's bag.
......
The fire on the moat is still burning.
You Lei, the deputy general of Ran Yanshan's original army, looked at the robe that kept falling on the other side of the river, and waved his knife angrily.
His own soldiers used their shields to block the arrows fired from the city.
"General, the king has issued an order to withdraw the troops. ”
At this time, a sergeant of the Yamabara Army came behind You Lei with arrows and said.
"General, withdraw. ”
You Lei's own soldiers were worried that the Liyue soldiers on the head of the city would use the Heavenly King's armor-piercing crossbow to deal with You Lei.
"Hey. ”
You Lei sighed and was about to leave.
Originally, without Ran Jue's order, he didn't dare to retreat no matter what. But now, the king has spoken, and if he goes back, he will not be punished.
After all, You Lei also fought hard under Panyu City for a long time.
But just as You Lei was about to leave, a human head fell in front of him.
"What is this?"
A pro-soldier straightened the head with the tip of a knife, and then said with wide eyes: "It's General Dong of the forward battalion." ”
