Chapter 769: The Falling Spark
Huang stood on the tower of the urn city with a long sword, watching the soldiers on both sides who were fighting and fighting.
After Fang Yue suddenly appeared, Jia Qu and Huang Chengcheng divided their labor and stationed in the north and south cities respectively, focusing on protecting the city gates.
Originally, Huang Cheng planned to search the whole city and arrest all the suspicious people hidden in the labor and in the city, but Jia Qu did not agree.
Because it is not easy to catch people in a small-scale search, and a large-scale search, one is to draw out a large number of soldiers, and the other will also cause panic among the people in the city.
And what people outside the city want to see most is probably the civil strife in Huguan City.
Jia Qu's opinion was to guard the city gates.
Because no matter what the people hiding in the city do, their ultimate goal is to cause riots, and the city gate is its ultimate goal, so as long as you keep an eye on the city gate, you are equal to keeping an eye on these people in the city.
It's just that 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 men and horses to protect the south of the city, it is a little difficult to quickly support the north of the city......
However, for now, let's get rid of this Fang Yue's team first!
"Throw the Oil!" Huang Cheng ordered coldly.
On both sides of the urn city tower, there are several small trebuchets, which are left behind when Fei sneaked away before, and they were also prepared to attack Huguan, but they were used to defend today......
The fierce fire oil was brought over through the caravan of the Linghu Clan, the quantity was not very large, but the lethality of this thing was very huge, Huang Cheng had already dumped some of it when he ordered the troops on the outer wall to retreat, and now the remaining ones were the final blow that was ready to crush Fang Yue's troops.
The fierce fire oil tank was thrown high by the catapult and smashed into the urn city, almost the moment it hit the ground, the mixed oil that splashed and scattered was ignited by the flames, and then formed a huge ring of fire, devouring all the soldiers within a radius of several zhang in the flames!
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting at the junction of the inner and outer walls were startled by the huge firelight in front of their eyes, and they couldn't help but stop their hands and turned their heads to look at the urn city.
The huge flames rose into the sky, even burning to the same height as the city wall, and the scorching heat rushed to the face, baking even the soldiers standing on the edge of the city wall sweating profusely even on a cold night in early spring.
Fang Yue's soldiers in the urn city ran wildly in the flames, screaming, and then were caught up by the flames, wrapped, and finally could only see a faint black shadow in a bright yellow, and finally disappeared into a firelight......
"Kill!"
Huang Chengbing, who was the first to react, was demoralized and shouted in unison. The sword and shield bearers in a row held their shields, leaned together, and arched outward with all their might, and Huang Cheng's archers above the urn city also had no threat from below the urn city, and began to concentrate on suppressing Fang Yue's soldiers on the city wall.
Although Fang Yue's idea is wonderful, things that are too ideal will always make his nose blue and swollen in the face of reality.
The elite guards sent up were mixed with the ordinary soldiers who were suddenly panicked by the flames, and they did not play the effect of one plus one being greater than two, but because of the scattering of ordinary soldiers, these elite soldiers of Fang Yue could not fully exert their full strength.
The arrows shot from the side made Fang Yue's soldiers even more defenseless, and they were shot by arrows one after another, either falling to the ground or falling to the city wall with a scream.
"No!" Fang Yue was a little crazy, fortunately he did not follow the large army into the urn city, but climbed along the ladder to the outer city wall, although there was no threat of flames for the time being, but seeing the tragic situation of his soldiers, he was still heartbroken, and his eyes were about to split.
The flames seemed to be everywhere, burning everywhere, Fang Yue's soldiers pushed each other, some people were pushed to the ground, and then dozens of big feet trampled on them, and they broke off after a few screams......
The soldiers had no intention of continuing the attack at all, and they all only wanted to escape from the fire as soon as possible, so many people were stuck together at the outer gate of Huguan, huddled into a pile, unable to move, and the speed of escaping outside the city was even slower.
"General, what should I do?"
The soldiers in the urn city were almost useless, and the soldiers on the city wall couldn't rush over, and Fang Yue's painful face in the dilemma was distorted.
But soon, Huang Chengcheng made a choice for Fang Yue, and seven or eight fireballs flew over the sky above the urn city and flew towards the tower of the outer city wall!
Several fireballs directly smashed into Fang Yue's soldiers who were congested at the outer city gate, and instantly devoured these unlucky people in the flames, two or three of which were a little higher, and smashed straight towards the place where Fang Yue was standing above the city gate!
"General be careful!"
When several of the guards saw the fireball coming, they raised their large shields and pushed them forward.
The momentum of a fireball had exhausted, and it landed on the edge of the city wall in front of Fang Yue's guards with a "poof", smashing into flames and sparks scattered in the air.
"Ah......h
Before Fang Yue's guard holding the big shield in front of him put down a raised heart, he heard Fang Yue behind him suddenly let out a miserable scream, and when he looked back, he found that the sparks that were sprayed from somewhere ignited the clothes on Fang Yue's body, and instantly began to spread!
Several guards hurriedly rushed forward and kept slapping, trying to extinguish the flames on Fang Yue's body, but to his horror, the flames that ignited could not be extinguished, and there was a growing trend......
"General! Armor! Remove your armor! ”
Ignoring the pain of being burned by the flames, the guards tore at Fang Yue's robe and battle armor, and finally succeeded in cleaning Fang Yue clean before the flames could spread completely.
The guards hurriedly threw the burning armor to the side, and then found that the armor had actually ignited the ground, and an even bigger flame came out, so they hurriedly protected Fang Yue and hid back!
"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”
Fang Yue, who was almost stripped naked, was like a chicken that had been stripped of its feathers, subconsciously wrapped up tightly and took off his robe by the guards, there was no longer the slightest ferocious momentum, and he wanted to evacuate in a panic, but suddenly his feet slipped, he fell to the ground, and hurriedly stood up with the female wall, and prepared to escape from the city along the ladder......
Another fireball flew into the air and smashed on the corner of the city gate tower, and the burning grass and wood branches suddenly dispersed, enveloping Fang Yue and the others who were about to flee below!
The section of the female wall that came into contact with the flames and sparks suddenly burned without warning, and immediately licked Fang Yue, who was holding the female wall and preparing to go down from the cloud ladder.
"Ahh
The thin robe and beard were suddenly ignited by the flames, Fang Yue hurriedly slapped it with his hand, but he didn't expect that his arm was also ignited by the flame in an instant, where the hand patted, the skin began to burn, and he screamed in pain!
"General be careful!"
The guard's reminder was too late, and Fang Yue, who was burned by the fire, had weak legs and feet, and suddenly fell from the high ladder with flames, like a burning flower, and fell to the ground with a "grunt", convulsed a few times, and then there was no movement in the flames......
