Chapter 174: The Outlaw Thief

After the defenders on the southwest corner of the city wall threw bottles of fire oil, one of the archers on the wall lit a rocket and shot at the bandits.

Bright rockets leap high from the city walls, reach the highest point, and then turn around and fall, like a meteor that descends rapidly, flying straight into the thief's formation.

The thieves had just been hit by bottles of fire oil that fell from the sky, and the thieves thought they were some siege weapons, but these bottles smashed on the armor in addition to making a little noise and did not cause a trace of damage, but the smell was unpleasant.

The thieves breathed a sigh of relief, and focused their attention on the Jihu camp that was about to rush in front of them.

One of the thieves smelled something very wrong, and reacted that it was fire oil, and screamed in horror, but it was useless, because the rockets were fired after the defenders threw the oil bottles, and even if the thieves scattered and fled at the beginning, it was too late.

The rocket landed, like a stone thrown into the lake, smashing the whole ripple,

The waves of flames spread out in the center of the circle where the arrows landed, and rushed along the path of the spread of the fire oil, devouring everything that passed by, and in the blink of an eye, the thieves who lined up to block the Jihu camp turned into lit torches, screaming and twisting their bodies in the flames.

Lan Ziyi's positive pressure was suddenly relieved, and he waved his sword and shouted:

"Brothers, rush forward!"

Before the words fell, the soldiers had already brandished their sabers and rushed into the thief array,

The heavily armored pikemen who stood in the first row of thieves to defend against Lan Ziyi were screaming and removing their armor from their bodies because of the flames, and the spears used to stop the cavalry impact had long been thrown to the ground.

The soldiers of the Jihu battalion shouted and rushed into the bandits, without wielding their swords, they could knock all these thieves to the ground with just horses.

After only a while, the flames have wrapped around the thieves' bodies, and after being hit by the horses of the Jihu camp, these thieves can no longer get up, they can only roll on the ground, and the thieves try in vain to remove the ignited iron armor from their bodies, but the fire oil has already drilled into the armor, the leather has been ignited, and the red-hot armor has been wrapped with the ignited skin, at this time, even if someone helps, it is impossible to take off the armor, let alone on their own,

Stepping on the pikemen rolling all over the ground, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion loaded on the heavily armored warriors lined up behind the thieves.

These thieves were originally lined up in a dense formation to fight against the Jihu Battalion, and although they lost the ability to continue to fight in formation after being ignited by the fire oil, they could not disperse in a short time, and the three thousand Jihu Battalion soldiers rushed up and almost hit a wall of fire.

Originally, it was impossible to stop Lan Ziyi's rapid impact in the state of scattering and fleeing after the thieves were set on fire, but the horses were afraid of the fire, and after rushing into the ignited group of thieves, they were frightened and stopped, and several soldiers who rushed in front were overturned to the ground by the horses.

The striker was stopped by the flames, and Lan Ziyi was forced to stop when he was squeezed in the middle.

At this time, Lan Ziyi and they had just rushed to the foot of the city wall not far away, and the siege troops in the south of the city were mobilizing people to rush over, and the thieves in the west of the city had mobilized a large number of men and horses to surround them from the west.

Lan Ziyi sat in the formation and shouted loudly:

"Don't stop, keep going, you can't stop here!"

When the soldiers heard the order, they all clamped and urged the horses forward, but the horses in the front row, which were frightened by the fire, were jumping in place at this time, and the riders took a lot of effort to stabilize the horses.

At the same time, those fire thieves scattered around the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion also found that there were soldiers of the Jihu Camp around them, these thieves who could be selected to be the supervising team must be the most bewitched by the demon law, and they must also be the most trusted people of the Thief Kou Heavenly King, otherwise how could they be selected to supervise the battle, being ignited by the fire of course made them painful, but the enemy who let them be trapped in the sea of fire is around, how can they let it go?

A thief whose whole body had been ignited by the flames, and his face could not be seen clearly, shouted from his chest, shouting, "Righteous demons, come to life!" Then he pounced on the knight of the Tiger Battalion nearest to him,

The warrior was still struggling to control the horses, where did he have the heart to care about other things, and these thieves next to him had been burned into torches, how could he move again, and now such a sudden pounce, the warrior couldn't tell whether it was a person or a ghost in front of him, and the rules under his hands were all messed up when he was timid, and he was caught by the thieves and dragged off the horse before he could draw his knife to block.

The thief who was covered in fire hugged the fallen Jihu Battalion soldiers, and the fire quickly ignited both of them, and the fallen Jihu Battalion soldiers screamed and were burned to death together.

The other soldiers of the Jihu Battalion on their horses were terrified, and the thieves who were on fire around them joined in this attack of dragging people off their horses, and those thieves who had a slightly smaller fire on their bodies did not care about extinguishing their own flames, and took up weapons to join the siege of the Jihu Battalion.

The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion in the front row finally stopped being stunned after several people fell off their horses, and hurriedly swung their knives and slashed.

The heavy armor of the thief is no longer tough under the heat of the flame, and the saber can already take away the thief's limbs.

But once people put life and death aside, it will become extremely terrifying, at this time the thieves are already dead people who have been killed by the fire, and the only thought in their minds is really to drag an officer and soldier on their back before their last breath is burned out.

Although the sabers of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion can cut off their outstretched arms, the broken wound will no longer spurt blood, only a rekindled flame remains, and the strength of the thieves is still undiminished.

This kind of desperate offensive made the soldiers suffer a great fright, and even Lan Ziyi had a lit thief next to him to launch an offensive, and after leaving the city, the indomitable courage of the Jihu Battalion was almost burned out by the karmic fire of the thief, and the defenders watching the battle on the city wall shouted anxiously when they saw this.

At this critical juncture, there were soldiers in the front row who were entangled in their comrades around them to stop the pressure at the same time, the saber slashed left and right for the two comrades next to him to relieve the siege, and he finally stabilized the horse, there was no thief in front of him, the soldier shouted and urged the horse to rush out,

With his help, his comrades got rid of the entanglement of the thieves and rushed out of the gap with him, and the front of the soldiers who were still fighting hard beside him was finally rushed away by these three people, and after stabilizing their horses, these soldiers also charged out with the three leading warriors.

In this way, the front-row soldiers finally took the lead in rushing away after the fierce battle,

The soldiers and horses in the back row were not frightened, but they were blocked by the friendly forces in the front, and there were few thieves who infiltrated the back row.

At last the horses began to run again, and the dense phalanx of cavalry knocked everything in their way, and then crushed under the iron hooves,

Lan Ziyi sat in the formation, raised his sword and shouted loudly, and also urged the war horse under his crotch to charge with the soldiers in the front row.

The thieves have been ignited, and they are already vulnerable, and at this time, as long as the horses accelerate and rush, they are unstoppable, and it is impossible for the thieves to stop them again.

But at this moment, Lan Ziyi suddenly stood up in front of him, the fire on this person was not violent, so he could skillfully operate the spear in his hand without being burned by the flames and it was difficult to control his body, this thief stared at Lan Ziyi, his eyes spewed out infinite anger, just waiting to pour out on Lan Ziyi,

The thief shouted:

"The demon is taking his life!"

As he spoke, he raised his spear and stabbed at Lanzi's prosthetic door.

Lan Ziyi's horse rushed quickly, and the thief raised his gun to stab again, and the tip of the spear came to Lan Ziyi in a half-breath.

At this moment, Lan Ziyi felt that everything was silent, only the sound of his own heartbeat was in his ears, and it was pitch black in front of him, only the reflection of the tip of the spear that stabbed at him.

Just when Lan Ziyi felt that his fate was at this moment, the warrior on his left swung out a knife to cut off the body of the thief's spear, and the peach on the right pulled his bow and released an arrow, and an arrow hit the thief's eyebrows.

Then Lan Ziyi's horse knocked down the thief, who was already immobilized, and then stepped under the horse.

Lan Ziyi, who escaped with death, rushed out for a while before returning to his senses again, this is really picking up a life,

On the side, Tao Zhutu asked loudly:

"Young Master! You okay? ”

Lan Ziyi shook his head and replied:

"I'm fine."

Then he raised his head and shouted to the wall:

"Why don't you come down and bury gunpowder!"

The soldiers of the Jihu battalion finally rushed out of a bloody road, driven by the strong will to survive, the saber was swung more and more ruthlessly, and the soldiers were all fierce and vicious, and all the thieves who stood in the way were beheaded in different places.

At the foot of the city wall, the thieves who were still organizing to climb the city from the dirt slope thought that the heavily armored supervision team was enough to fight with the Jihu battalion, but now they saw that the supervision team was burned alive, and the soldiers of the Jihu battalion were like wolves bloodthirsty and their morale plummeted, and when Lan Ziyi and they rushed to the city, the organization of defense was slow, and finally they were crushed by the dense cavalry phalanx, and these siege thieves were dispersed one by one by the sabers of the Jihu battalion soldiers, and fought again in the house.

The pressure on the defenders of the city dropped sharply, and the gunpowder was transported to all parts of the western wall, and the men dug pits downhill to bury the gunpowder under the cover of the defenders.

However, it is much more difficult to bury gunpowder in the south than in the northern part of the city wall, because the thieves have already mobilized a large army in order to pursue the Jihu battalion, and now there are people on the city wall who have gone down to the city to bury gunpowder, how can the thieves let go, and they all climb the slope to fight with the defenders.

At the corner of the southwest city wall where Lan Ziyi first rushed through, the soldiers first rolled down with powder kegs to open the way, and violent explosions occurred one after another behind the Jihu battalion, shaking the heavens and the earth, and then the defending soldiers rushed down from the city wall with long knives and big shields and stationed near the foot of the breakthrough.

As soon as the soldiers stood firm, the thieves jumped out of the smoke of gunpowder, and desperately collided with the defenders' big shields, and for a moment the swords intersected, blood splashed, and the soldiers on both sides tried their best to drive each other back, which was the decisive moment to decide who would die in the siege of the west of the city, and there was no room for loss on both sides.
