A hundred fire dragons flew over the south city gate in an instant, and the vanguard of the imperial army had already climbed halfway, but when they couldn't go up or down, where the fire dragon went, the officers and soldiers were like dumplings, and they were all on fire, screaming and falling down.

However, the power of the fierce fire tank was not limited to this, those ladders and the wooden shields held by the officers and soldiers were all ignited. The monstrous fire is so strong that no one can resist it.

The officers and men could not advance half a step further at all, and had even begun to retreat in a chaotic manner.

Mao Wenlong's face was hideous, and he coldly ordered that these officers and soldiers who came to attack the city were not allowed to go back alive.

At the command, a hundred fire dragons began to breathe fire into the city, and the fierce fire oil of an altar was thrown into the city like raindrops.

The officers and soldiers besieging the city were completely panicked at this time, and one by one they fled in all directions crying and howling. But no matter how fast their legs ran, they couldn't spread the fire.

The monstrous fire rose in the wind, engulfing all the officers and soldiers in an instant, and almost none of them escaped, all of them were in the sea of fire, screaming incessantly.

Hell on earth, perhaps even more brutal than the legendary hell, can be seen in the sea of fire, those officers and soldiers are constantly rolling, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies.

It's a pity that they didn't roll for two laps, and then they were all silent. Some of the lucky ones were on the edge of the fire, and they narrowly escaped, but they also suffered multiple burns, and if they did not receive timely treatment, they would probably die a painful death.

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Jie's forehead, and it was only at this moment that he understood why the defenders of Xianyang City had not fought back at the beginning.

Unfortunately, he understood too late, and 20,000 soldiers and horses rushed forward, but they were buried in the fire in the blink of an eye, and less than 100 people survived.

failed, he had realized that he had completely failed, and he had directly taken the lives of nearly 20,000 soldiers.

Faced with such a major mistake, Li Jie didn't know how to explain to the court after he returned. Hong Chengchou's results are still vivid, but he Li Jie is likely to follow in his footsteps.

There is even a great chance, which is worse than Hong Chengchou's fate.

Li Jie had already imagined what he would do with himself after the imperial decree arrived!

"Withdraw your troops!"

Li Jie gave the last order of his life in a decadent manner, and hurriedly retreated with the remaining 30,000 soldiers.

The flames outside the southern gate of Xianyang are still monstrous, and although the imperial army has run away without a trace, the fire outside the southern city has never shown signs of weakening.

Mao Wenlong stared at the burning fire, and began to feel a little worried, and immediately called Adou and Xu Fuzuo to ask, "How much fire oil did you throw down?" ”

Adou and Xu Fuzuo didn't think about it, and said in unison: "All! ”

Mao Wenlong immediately wailed and said in pain: "You actually threw all the fierce fire oil down? Aren't you afraid of what you will do when the fire rises and burns to the wall? Even if you are lucky enough not to burn the city wall, how long will it take for so much fire oil to be extinguished, and if the city wall is burned down, you will have to wait to be beaten! ”

Adou and Xu Fuju realized that the matter was big, and the two immediately confessed to Mao Wenlong, but hoped that Mao Wenlong could find a way to extinguish the fire.

Mao Wenlong was very helpless, these two guys did a foolish thing, but in the end, he still wanted him to wipe his buttocks.

Once the fire oil is burned, it is difficult to extinguish, and it would be better if there were fire extinguishing materials for future generations. But in ancient times, where did the fire-fighting materials come from, and in desperation, Mao Wenlong could only try to extinguish the fire with soil methods.

"Immediately, lead all the soldiers from the east gate, and let them all bring their tools for digging the earth. Fierce fire oil cannot be poured with water, it can only be buried with soil, go quickly! ”

In this attic, Mao Wenlong felt the heat wave coming to his face at this moment, and he could imagine how high the temperature outside was at this moment. If you really don't put out the fire immediately, maybe you might be hit by your own crow's mouth and burn down the city wall!

Xu Fuzuo and Adou didn't dare to slack off, they also felt the attack of the heat wave, and the two of them were also anxious. If the city wall is really burned down, then repairing it will inevitably cost the people and money.

The main thing is, how can the city walls collapse at such a sensitive time. If there is another enemy attack, the loss of the city wall will inevitably put the Dongjiang army at a disadvantage.

The two of them retreated and went to arrange for people to extinguish the fire. Mao Wenlong was not idle, turned around and ordered Chen Jisheng to take more than a dozen sentries to find out if the imperial army had really retreated.

Chen Jisheng was also ordered to leave, and Mao Wenlong went down the city wall and personally went to supervise the army to extinguish the fire.

The burning oil is indeed extremely fierce, and it burns even more violently in such a large area. On the castle tower, there were ignorant soldiers who were fighting the fire with water.

But relying on the water brought by people is a drop in the bucket, and what is even worse is that when the soldiers poured the water on it, the fierce fire oil burned even more vigorously!

Mao Wenlong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and immediately ordered someone to go up to stop it and use water to extinguish the fire again.

Soon, Xu Fuju and Adou arrived with men and horses, and according to Mao Wenlong's instructions, they dug up the soil to bury the burning fire oil. There were many Dongjiang soldiers, and with the efforts of everyone, the fire was gradually extinguished.

After fighting from noon to evening, the fire was finally completely extinguished, and 30,000 people were directly mobilized to extinguish the fire. When the soldiers saw that the fire had been extinguished, they could no longer support their tired bodies and lay down on the spot to rest.

At this moment, outside the south city gate, you can see a mound as high as a hill, and even the city gate has been half buried by the excavated soil.

Adou and Xu Fuju dragged their tired bodies to report in front of Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, the fire has been completely extinguished!" ”

Mao Wenlong was not at ease, so he personally inspected the scene and found nothing wrong, so he ordered all the people to return to the city to rest.

The mound of dirt at the south gate cannot be left unattended, and after two or three days, the soil must be removed again. By the way, I have to clean up the corpses of the imperial soldiers who were burned to death by the fire.

This will be another big project, but Mao Wenlong has nothing to worry about, nodded and explained to the two of them: "After two or three days, arrange for someone to clean up the soil." The corpses below must also be disposed of properly before the plague erupts. ”

Xu Fuju and Adou hurriedly said yes, not daring to be perfunctory.

At this point, the crisis in Xianyang City has been temporarily resolved, and now it is only waiting for Chen Jisheng to find out the whereabouts of the imperial army. If Li Jie goes back to Hancheng directly, then Xianyang City will have at least a month to recuperate.

But if Li Jie still doesn't give up and wants to continue to come to crusade, then Mao Wenlong will no longer be polite. It is not even ruled out that they will take the initiative!
