Chapter 922: Conquering the Leather Prison

"Bang bang bang-"

"Bang bang—"

Dozens of barrel bombs filled with oil were violently tossed by the force of the catapult and blossomed in the area of Pigao Pass. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In an instant, several fires burned outside the Pigao Pass, and the Han soldiers in the gate hurriedly sounded the alarm.

"Bell, bell, bell—"

"Fight the fire, the water is running in the gate, come and put out the fire......"

Amid the noisy shouts, several Korean sergeants carried wooden barrels filled with water to the place where the fire started.

But what shocked them was that the fire in front of them at this moment seemed to be different from the flames they had seen before, even if they were a few feet away, they could still feel a scorching heat rolling in, and the exposed skin of the roasters tingled.

"These fires are so weird......"

A Korean sergeant said in horror.

Or there was a Han soldier who did not believe in evil, and forcibly endured the scorching heat, gritted his teeth and stepped forward, trying to extinguish the fire with the fire in the barrel in his hand, but he had only taken a few steps before, and his bare skin, arms, and face quickly bulged one blister after another—he was severely burned by the rolling heat.

"Ahh

He screamed, and his hands covered his cheeks so much that the barrel in his hand fell to the ground.

The water in the barrel flowed out, merged with the black water, and the fire spread all at once.

The nearby Korean soldiers were shocked to see that the fire that spread in an instant swallowed up the chief who was still screaming at once.

They watched as the blisters on the chief's face burst open, and then, like a boiled fish, fell to his knees with his eyes glazed.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the two eyeballs of the elder actually burst alive, and then the whole person popped, and fell into the sea of fire with hot air, and after a blink of an eye, it turned into a charred corpse as black as coal.

"This ...... What the hell is going on?'

The nearby South Korean generals retreated in horror.

Because they gradually discovered that the water that could extinguish the fire in their impression could not extinguish the flame floating on the "black water", and even the more they watered, the faster the fire spread, so that in the blink of an eye, the area of the sea of fire had increased several times compared to before.

"Stand back, stand back...... Who, stand back! ”

A 1,000-strong Korean general commanded the nearby Han soldiers to slowly retreat, and during this time, he saw that several soldiers were still sitting stupidly in place.

So, he endured the scorching heat, stepped forward to the soldiers, and shouted, "What are you still stunned about? Hurry up ......"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Because he realized that the eyes of the soldiers who were sitting on the ground had already become dim - these soldiers had already been burned to death by the heat.

"Bang Bang—"

The bare skin of these soldiers quickly swelled with blisters, and then burst one after another.

And in the midst of these popping sounds, their eyeballs also burst open, so that the eye sockets were hollow, which was very scary.

From beginning to end, there was not the slightest blood, because the blood in the human body could not withstand such high temperatures, and it had already been roasted alive.

"Thousands of generals, come back quickly!!"

The Han sergeant in the distance shouted loudly.

The Han army was shocked, and he realized that some nail-sized blisters were gradually bulging on his arms, dense and disgusting.

He didn't dare to stop any longer, and quickly turned around and ran backwards.

But after only a few steps, he felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing.

Immediately, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fell to the ground, and there was no movement at all.

Seeing this scene, the Korean soldiers in the distance were frightened, and they couldn't understand what was happening.

I believe that if Zhao Hongrun was here, he might not mind popularizing a little knowledge to these Korean generals: the reason why the Korean army was dizzy and fell to the ground was because of lack of oxygen, because the sea of fire near here burned violently at the same time, it consumed a large amount of oxygen in the air, causing the people around him to have difficulty breathing, and finally fell into a state of shock due to lack of oxygen, so he died.

The sea of fire inside and outside the Leather Prison Pass alarmed the Han General Jin Huang who was in the Guan Lou, and he came to the Guan Wall with a shocked face and watched the chaotic situation in the Guan.

"Whew-"

A whistling sound came from mid-air, far and near.

Han General Jin Di subconsciously raised his head, and was slightly shocked to see wooden barrels flying from the direction of Wangwu Mountain, and then smashed them in the pass.

He could clearly see that after the barrels had fallen to the ground and shattered, a black splash of water had splattered out of the barrels.

Once this black water is stained with fire, it greatly increases the fire, making the sea of fire continue to burn, and the temperature becomes especially hot, even hotter than a red-hot soldering iron.

This was not Jin Di's subjective estimate, because he saw with his own eyes that one of his subordinates was burned alive to charcoal, whether it was the leather armor on his body or the wooden shield in his hand, all of which were burned to the point that only a pile of black ashes remained.

What's even more terrifying is that the long sword carried by the soldier, the iron sword made by the Wei army, was actually burned red in the blink of an eye in that sea of fire, and then became sticky, almost turning into molten iron.

"What the hell is that?!"

Han Jiang Jin Di only felt creepy, and asked in a lost voice.

In fact, he had some clue in his heart: those black water must be oil.

But the problem is that ordinary oil, after ignition, does not have this power at all.

It's a natural disaster!

A natural disaster that no mortal can resist!

Suddenly, Jin Huang vaguely heard the soldiers in the pass shouting something as if they were crazy.

He listened carefully, and only then did he vaguely hear some clues.

"Yes...... It is the witchcraft of the Wei people, and the Wei people have the help of clever monks......"

"Wei people understand immortal arts, Wei people understand immortal arts......"

Jin Huang scoffed at the remarks that the soldiers were crazy.

You must know that the culture of Korea is in the same vein as the Central Plains, and they do not believe that there are so-called immortals in this world.

Compared with the absurd and bizarre myths and legends, Jin Di trusts the weapons in his hands more.

As for the Fang Shi, it is needless to say, at least in Jin Di's opinion, the so-called Fang Shi is purely some charlatan who pretends to be a ghost.

There are many such monks in the Korean court, some of whom can spit out pillars of fire, and some of whom smoke all over their bodies once they are lucky, but after debunking the tricks of these people, it is just some bluffing tricks.

Therefore, Jin Huangdang even grasped the crux of the situation: the Wei people had a special kind of oil, a kind of oil that could not be extinguished with water.

Thinking of this, Jin Di gradually calmed down.

After all, as long as he is sure that the Wei people are using some kind of fire oil that they Koreans don't understand, and not some gods, ghosts, demons and immortals to help him, he will naturally not be afraid: he is a human being, and the Wei people are also human beings, so what is there to be afraid of?

In contrast, he was more concerned about a new tactic used by the Wei army.

At this time, he had already learned the news from the rout in the area of Wangwu Mountain, and clearly understood the reason why Wangwu Mountain would be lost: that was because under the mountain of Wangwu Mountain, there were hundreds of Wei army's catapults to assist the Wei soldiers who climbed the mountain to fight together, so that in front of the Wei army's catapults, the camp and fortress built by his deputy general Qingyao on Wangwu Mountain did not play their due role at all, and were smashed to pieces by the stone bullets thrown by the hundreds of catapults.

Jin Di couldn't help but want to say his admiration to that Wei Gongzi Ji Run, because he had never thought that catapults, a war weapon that had always been used to siege cities, could still be used like this.

And the power is still so terrifying.

With a long sigh, Jin Di instructed the left and right guards: "Pass my general order, the whole army will withdraw from Pigao Pass and defect to 'Duanshi' County." ”

Hearing this, the Korean generals on the wall were all dumbfounded.

One of the generals said in horror: "Why did the general give up the leather prison? ”

Jin Di was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't keep the ......"

After saying that, he turned to face Wangwu Mountain, pointed to the third, fourth, and fifth hills of Wangwu Mountain from west to east, and said bitterly: "Do you know where the Wei army attacked my Pigao Pass? Over there...... They used catapults to attack my prison with catapults, and I couldn't touch each other at all, so how could they fight? ”

As he spoke, he shook his head, with a somewhat gloomy mood, and said in a low voice: "It is only a matter of time before the Leather Prison Pass is captured. Rather than stubbornly defending this pass, it is better to retreat and save the troops and wait for the opportunity to move again. …… Go and herald. ”

“…… Be. ”

The Korean soldiers looked at each other, and then clenched their fists to receive the order.

About half an hour later, the South Korean troops stationed at Pigao Pass began to retreat eastward one after another.

I have to say that Jin Di, known as one of the top ten heroes of the Northern Plains, is indeed an excellent general who knows how to advance and retreat, and after realizing that the leather prison pass could not be preserved, he decisively chose to preserve his strength.

In the final analysis, Pi Dang Pass is just the western gateway of Hedong County to Shangdang County, and for the whole of South Korea, Shangdang County is just a front yard, not to mention a Leather Prison Pass, at best, it is just a gateway to the front yard.

Losing tens of thousands of soldiers for the sake of a portal is not worth it.

After all, for generals of their level, they will neither attach too much importance to the gains and losses of a city or a place, nor will they care too much about the honor and disgrace overnight - it is good to be able to hold it, but if they can't hold it, the future will be long, and there will be time to fight slowly.

This is the good fighter.

"Wei Gongzi Run......

When the whole army withdrew from the leather prison pass, Jin Di turned his head to look at the pass where he had been stationed for a long time, and his eyes showed a slightly complicated look.

Although he had been very cautious, in the end he still underestimated the strategy of that Wei Gongzi Ji Run.

No, in fact, that can't be regarded as underestimated, it can only be said that Wei Gongzirun's art of war has subverted his perception of the art of war.

"I've opened the door to you, step in, Wei Gongrun, step into the party...... Then, just like your ancestors did decades ago, feel the horrors of my great Korean iron riders in this land......

On the sixth day of October, Wei's "Shang Water Army" broke through Pigao Pass, and the Han general Jin Huang retreated to the east with more than 20,000 defeated troops.

On the same day, Zhao Yuanzuo, the commander of the Northern Second Army of Wei, attacked Tianmen Pass, but was attacked by a Korean cavalry and defeated.

In the battle of Tianmen Pass, Han general, who was known as one of the "Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains" like Jin Di, and the "Fierce Bird" Violent Kite, gradually became known to the Wei army, and his reputation resounded throughout Northern Xinjiang.

With the illustrious identity of "the commander-in-chief of the Han and Wei armies".
