Several guards worked together, struggling to pull the object up under the rope. I don't know what was hanging, dead and sinking, dripping down. Looking down at the wellhead, it was so dark that I couldn't tell what it was.

Soon, at the end of the rope, a circle of rope wrapped in a circle of rope revealed the mouth of the well. The first thing everyone saw was a huge swollen foot, and they were immediately stunned. Fortunately, the guards were well-informed and did not let go. Dragged hard, there was a snap, and a corpse wrapped in ropes fell to the bluestone ground of the well railing.

The corpse was swollen like a large toad. He was still wearing a scarlet official uniform. His hair was messy and wet and covered his face. Lu Zhongtian stood up and waved his hand. One of the guards picked open the messy hair with his scabbard, and suddenly there was an exclamation around him.

"Like...... It seems to be Vice Minister Wu. ”

"It's him, it's Vice Minister Wu."

Although the corpse was soaked and deformed, it could still be identified as Wu Chunlai, the vice minister of the Great Zhou.

Lu Zhongtian's face turned pale and he frowned. Wu Chunlai died in this well, it couldn't be suicide, but was killed by Lin Jue. Doesn't that mean that Lin Jue already knew that he would not care about Wu Chunlai's life and would attack immediately. The exchange of Wu Chun for Heavenly Gifts was only to kill him, not to be a hostage. From this, it can be seen that Lin Jue and the others have long been ready to fight. It's no wonder that the first wave of Shicai's attack will fail, and the other party is ready.

"We ...... The water from the well that we just drank...... It's all Lord Wu's corpse water......"

One of the guards said inappropriately dumbfounded. He didn't mention it, and this mention suddenly made everyone's hearts churn. Looking at the swollen and rotten corpse in front of him, thinking about the water he had drunk, some people couldn't control it, and vomited. This spit aroused the desire of more people, and suddenly, including Lu Zhongtian, everyone under the big locust tree spit out.

Wu Chunlai fell into a well and died yesterday evening, originally in such a midsummer season, the corpse would not be left for more than a dozen hours, even three or four hours would begin to decompose. However, the temperature in the well was cool, even a little cold, so it did not decay quickly. However, because of the soaking of the well water, the corpse swelled and became larger, and after a whole night, the corpse water had seeped out. So, the well water has actually been polluted. This is also the reason why Lu Zhongtian and others smacked the well water and found out that there was a peculiar smell. If the corpse was decomposed in a large area, then the water would already have a foul smell, and they would have noticed it immediately. It's a pity that they didn't notice it, so a group of people were all disgusted by Wu Chunlai's corpse water. Maybe this is Wu Chunlai's revenge on Lu Zhongtian for ignoring his life and death.

The vomiting soon stopped, because the cavalry charge was ready, and with the sound of the rousing horn, Zhao Degang reorganized the cavalry and launched a new charge. Lu Zhongtian covered his mouth and ordered someone to carry Wu Chunlai's body away, putting the matter behind him and concentrating on the battle situation.

After the tripping horse rope was cleared, plus Lu Zhongtian personally supervised the battle, this time Zhao Degang gave the order to die. There may be a means ahead, but no matter what the means, you must not take half a step back. This time, 5,000 cavalry charged together, vowing to level the long streets of Akakura Town.

At the sound of the trumpet, the five thousand cavalry began to accelerate towards the town square. Although it was empty, tents of all sizes were still standing there. It was the camp where the other side was camping, and breaking through that place was actually a symbolic victory.

The 5,000 cavalry was limited by the terrain, and the front army extended into the town for 100 paces, and the rear army was still on the official road outside the town, spreading for 3 or 400 steps. This was not an offensive formation, even if it was a march, it was not so congested, but Zhao Degang couldn't care about it anymore.

The sound of hooves rumbled like thunder, and the ground was filled with smoke and dust, choking the mouth and nose. Although the cavalry charging in front was still a little apprehensive, they quickly rushed through the distance of hundreds of paces without hindrance, and rushed to the position of the dense tents in front of them without any resistance.

There are hundreds of tents here, arranged in a somewhat strange way. There are several rows across the street, as if they were specially arranged fortifications. However, what good does it do if the tent is a fortification? The cavalrymen galloped past, their long knives habitually slashing through the tents.

They had thought that the tent was empty, because there was no way that anyone would dare to stay in the tent. It is true that there is no one in the tent, but it is definitely not an empty tent. When the tent's curtain was torn open, all that was revealed was a mess of firewood and grass. Each tent was stuffed with firewood and grass. The vanguard cavalry was puzzled, but without thinking much of it, their horses had already rushed through the area where the tent was located, and rushed into the empty street ahead.

At this moment, dozens of cavalry in front suddenly rushed out from the oblique spurs. Instead of trying to rush at his opponent, the man on the horse stood still, and with a bow and arrow in his hand, he shot dozens of feathered arrows diagonally towards the sky.

The arrow flew over the heads of the four or five hundred vanguard cavalry with a puff of green smoke and sparks, and landed in the firewood of the tents in the rear. Apparently the arrows had been modified, and when they fell into the firewood, the sparks burst apart, quickly igniting the dry firewood. Some of the arrows burst in the air, as if the time had not been calculated. But the bursting spark fell into the firewood and grass, but the range was wider, and at once it ignited the three or four piles of firewood and grass on the left.

In a very short period of time, the dry, transparent firewood and grass quickly ignited a skyrocketing fire. The speed with which the fire spread was staggering, and the intensity of the flames was astonishing. As the saying goes, dry firewood and fire are uncontrollable, and this is not only dry firewood, but most of the firewood is dry thatch that is more likely to deflagrate than firewood. In a short period of time, the fire formed a wall of fire several feet high.

The charging cavalry did not have time to slow down when the flames rose, and dozens of cavalry rushed into the firewood and immediately burned to the ground. The hair, clothes, and horsehair were all on fire, and the man and the horse were as handsome as the Flame Knights, but they were handsome and fell to the ground screaming and wailing.

Hundreds of cavalry had already rushed through the tent area, and they were naturally unaffected. But there were still thousands of horsemen in the rear, but they could not cross such a fire. It is instinctive for horses to be afraid of fire, not to mention the burning wall of fire, there is a big mess in the front and rear, and the entire cavalry formation instantly becomes chaotic. The fire burst into the middle of the cavalry charge.

Zhao Degang, who personally commanded the charge from the cavalry, ordered the charge to stop, because it was unrealistic to rush through the wall of fire that rushed to the sky, and the fire was so fierce that rushing over it was undoubtedly looking for death. Even if the cavalry of the Forbidden Army is well-trained on weekdays, in this case, the cavalry still stubbornly restrains the horses and stabilizes the formation. Not only did you have to stop the charge, but you also had to retreat dozens of steps back in formation. Because the scorching heat of the fire was unbearable. Within thirty paces will be scorched.

However, Zhao Degang also understands that after this kind of dry firewood and grass catches fire, it is a fire, but it cannot last. But it is impossible to pass in a short period of time. Zhao Degang cursed, and at the same time began to worry about the safety of the six or seven hundred cavalry who rushed through the wall of fire.

Soon, he heard shouts of killing, clashing of blades, screams and shouts from the other side of the wall of fire. The whirring of flames was mixed with the roar of firearms, and the ground shook and smoke and dust rose everywhere. From time to time, crossbow arrows came through the raging wall of fire, and some of the unlucky men in the cavalry were killed by the pond fish, and the arrows screamed. Zhao Degang gritted his teeth and scolded, but there was nothing he could do but watch the fire in front of him, unable to do anything. He hoped that the six or seven hundred men would be able to annihilate his opponent, but he also felt that this was unlikely, so he could only pray that they would be blessed by heaven and that they would be blessed.

Behind, Lu Zhongtian also looked at the fire on the street in shock, frightened and speechless. This is Lin Jue's means, he is good at using fire. The last time he put down the rebellion, he closed the road with a fire, annihilating tens of thousands of bandits on the Bolangsha Chi Road. This time he did it again, sealing the road with a fire and dividing the cavalry. That's exactly what he did.

The fire starts as quickly as it goes out. In just half an hour, the fire suddenly became smaller and soon extinguished. When the green smoke clears, everything in front of you is revealed. Thousands of cavalry saw the situation in front of them, and they were all cold and frightened. What a sight it was, there was not a single person standing in the street ahead, and there were horse corpses and human corpses everywhere, scattered limbs and bright red flesh everywhere. The corpses were covered with arrows, dense as a meadow. No one saw the scene of the battle, like the scene after the devil was raging, and none of the six or seven hundred cavalry could be spared, and they all fell on the road ahead.

The six or seven hundred cavalry were already in a state of panic after being divided by the fire, and then they suffered the harshest blow they had ever suffered in their lives. Hundreds of cavalry rushed to the street, crossbows raining down and muskets roaring, followed by ferocious hand-to-hand combat. The number of six or seven hundred cavalry was more than more than that of the other side, but the combat effectiveness was not at the same level at all. After being bombarded and shot more than 200 people, they were already in a state of horror. But the fire in the rear forced them to engage. As soon as the battle was held, it was even more terrifying, those people on the other side all had martial arts, and the hand-to-hand combat was even more terrifying, only paying the price of dozens of deaths, and nearly 700 cavalrymen were killed on the street. The other party disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.

The ground was so hot after the fire that it was impossible to get close. It is impossible for people to pass. Within a radius of dozens of steps was a fiery red stove, which would not cool down at all for a while and a half.

The disgraced Zhao Degang came to Lu Zhongtian with a face full of shame to plead guilty, he thought that he would be greeted by an angry scolding that would cover his face. However, Lu Zhongtian did not scold him.

"It's not your fault, it's the old man's anxiety. Lin Jue's scheming is full of tricks, and under this kind of terrain, charging is a mistake. It's the old man's eagerness, it's the old man's fault. "Lu Zhongtian said.
