It's fuel! One of the quickest Khitan warriors changed his face and let out a terrifying scream.

But his cry was too late, and after the grass was over, countless torches and rockets fell from the city.

The next moment, the flames immediately pierced the darkness of the city.

I don't know if it was the wind that started the fire, or whether it was the fire that fueled the wind, or the strong smell of fuel in the air and the effect of the grass that soaked in the fuel, the flames spread in an instant.

The location of the 5,000 Liao warriors below the city turned into a sea of fire.

This sea of fire was so dazzling that it even dyed half of the sky red in an instant.

In the distance, Yelu Dagu and Ma Gutou and Li Hanguang led more than 10,000 Liao troops who were preparing to rush to the city in the future, and in an instant, they felt that the whole world was bright.

But each of them turned unusually ugly and angry.

Because they heard the terrible screams of the five thousand Khitan warriors caught in the fire.

There were also some Khitan warriors who were behind who reacted quickly and escaped from the sea of fire before the flames burned.

But under the light of the fire, the bed crossbows, strong bows, and gunpowder bags on the head of Shuitou City have been prepared for a long time.

Let the Liao people who came to attack have no return, this was originally the combat goal set by Zhang Bin and Zhi Kerou for the night attack of the Liao army tonight.

Arrows rained down, and the explosion of gunpowder packs was earth-shattering.

But compared to being burned alive in a fire, or even charred to ashes, being shot and blown up is already good.

As the fire became brighter and brighter, it was difficult for any Khitan warrior who escaped from the sea of fire to hide, either shot to death or blown up, until there was no longer a Liao person outside the sea of fire.

"It's a complete trap! The Song people already knew that we were coming to attack the city tonight? This is the voice of all Liao people at this moment.

In the rear, Yelu Dagu and other Liao people were stunned, and more than a thousand Liao people rushed up in the roar, trying in vain to save people, they had been burned out of their brains by anger and temporarily lost their minds.

Under the rain of arrows and gunpowder packs thrown by the Song army at the head of the city, the anger of the more than 1,000 Liao people was immediately extinguished.

They came back to their senses, broke out in a cold sweat, and all of them looked for something to hide nearby, and crawled slowly backwards on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

Under the light of the fire, the night did not bring much concealment convenience to the Liao soldiers, let alone offset the advantages of the Song army's various powerful killing weapons, a few Liao soldiers accidentally raised their heads a little, and their upper bodies were immediately shot into hedgehogs, not to mention, but also attracted an explosive bag, killing and wounding nearly 100 Liao people next to them.

At this time, the screams of the nearly 5,000 Khitan warriors in the sea of fire became smaller and smaller, and the figures struggling frantically in the firelight became fewer and fewer.

Occasionally, a burning figure burst out of the flames, but it didn't take a few steps before falling to the ground.

This scene looks shocking and miserable.

But this is war, even in later generations of societies with the United Nations, international public opinion, and human rights, the real battlefield is still full of extremes, not to mention the period of cold weapons of feudal dynasties.

At some point, the fire gradually went out, and the screams had long since disappeared completely, and there was not even a dying moan.

The various long-range attacks at the head of the city no longer appeared, and even from the field of vision of the Liao people crawling on the ground, the Song army on the head of Shuitou City seemed to have disappeared, and it seemed that they had gone to rest.

Except for the howling cold wind and the occasional spark outside the city, the silence seemed to have been restored.

Among the more than 1,000 Liao soldiers who crawled within the effective range of Shuitou City, many of them wanted to get up and leave, but there were also some Khitan veterans who had a keen sense of danger and felt that something was wrong and did not get up and ran back.

"Don't stand up!" The roar of a Liao army officer was a step late, and hundreds of Liao army soldiers jumped up quickly, turned around and ran into the distance.

It's just that they are so reckless, they are simply sent to death, and after only two or three steps back, a piercing sound of arrows suddenly appeared in the sky and the earth.

Above the city, thousands of Song soldiers with the best archery skills were launched at the same time under the leadership of Zhemuqiu, and these hundreds of Liao people were instantly pierced by the arrows shot from the rear, and after a miserable scream, they fell to the ground and were silent.

There were also nearly 1,000 Liao soldiers who did not get up and run back, and at the same time shouting luck in their hearts, they were scared into a cold sweat in the winter.

And they are now in a dilemma, get up and run back is to die immediately, continue to crawl on the cold ground, blow the cold wind all night, not to mention whether they will fall ill, and wait for the next day, after the Song army sees where they are, if the trebuchet throws a few terrifying weapons that can explode, they will die even more ugly.

"What should I do, within the range of the Song people, there are still nearly a thousand of us crawling on the ground." In the distance, Ma Gutou looked at Shuitou City, which had regained its silence, and asked Yelu Dagu with an ugly face.

Yelu Dagu's face was extremely ugly, and the whole person was about to be burned by anger and monstrous killing intent, and roared: "What else can I do, of course I will send someone to answer it." ”

"Lao Tzu personally went to save people." Jerod roared and got on his horse, "All the riders follow me to save the people, and listen to my orders to take cover with a rain of arrows." ”

"General, no, the range of the Song people's trebuchet is above the range of our whirling projectile." Li Hanguang hurriedly reminded.

Yelu Dagu roared: "Lao Tzu knows, but Lao Tzu wants to go." ”

Before the words fell, Yelu Dagu had already rushed out with thousands of cavalry and galloped towards Shuitou City.

He shouted instructions to the cavalry accompanying him, but he was far away from Shuitou City, and with the wind on his back, everyone in Shuitou City couldn't hear what Yelu Dagu was saying.

On the head of Shuitou City, Zhang Bin and Zhi Kerou noticed the arrival of a large number of Liao cavalry at the first time, and had already ordered ten stone throwers on the city to prepare gunpowder packs.

On the high-speed galloping war horse, Yelu Dagu, who rushed to the front, stared at Shuitou City, and when he was about seventy paces away, his legs suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the whole body fell to the left, and the war horse turned extremely smoothly, but the speed did not decrease much in the process.

"Projectile!" Yelu roared.

Almost at the same time, ten gunpowder packets were thrown from the head of the city.

A rain of arrows shot towards the city, and all the Song people hurriedly hid behind the city wall.

The nearly 1,000 Liao people who had crawled on the ground before hurriedly got up and ran back.

What Zhang Bin and others at the head of the city did not notice was that more than 100 Liao people had bows and arrows ready in their hands, but the arrows were not shot.

However, when the gunpowder bag was more than ten feet away from the heads of their thousands of cavalry, Yelu suddenly roared: "Shoot!" ”

The arrows in the hands of the more than 100 Liao people who did not shoot were shot out at the same time, and they shot the fuse that was burning with sparks on the ten gunpowder packets.
