Just as the Eastern Turkic trebuchet position was being loaded and adjusted its angle to prepare for the second round of bombardment of the city, dozens of objects flew out from the direction of the Great Wall. At this time, the Eastern Turks, who had learned from the past, fled in panic, trying to avoid the damage caused by these stone bullets. But what they didn't expect was that this time it was not polished stone bullets that flew over, but dozens of clay pots.

When the pots hit the ground, they shattered, and streams of black liquid flowed out of them, even if they were far away, you could smell the slightest stench in them. After confirming that the liquid does not have any adverse effects on people, it is only difficult to walk on the black liquid as if it were in glue. After that, the Turks brought bundles of dry straw and spread them on it to ensure that people would not get stuck in it when they walked on it, and then continued to load the stone throwing machine.

At this moment, dozens of clay pots flew out from the direction of the Great Wall, completely covering all the stone thrower positions with black liquid. This time, before the Turks could bring the dry straw again, a fireball flew from the direction of the Great Wall. The fireball was actually just a stone ball with a layer of oil on its surface, which was ignited with fire before being fired and then projected onto the black liquid.

As soon as he came into contact with the black liquid, a raging fire ignited, and the entire position of the stone thrower was in flames for a moment. When I reloaded it before, many people were also contaminated with those black liquids, but because there was no immediate damage, they ignored these things and didn't pay attention. But at this time, the fire was together, and the black liquid contaminated by those people also ignited at the same time.

These people were in pain, even if they fell to the ground and rolled on the spot, but the only thing that could be done by doing so was that they were stained with more black liquid. As the fire in the fire field became more and more vigorous, their terrible cries were also transmitted far away, and even Zhang Deqing on the city wall could hear it clearly. At this time, Shibi Khan, who was stunned from the sidelines, reacted and hurriedly ordered his troops to go to put out the fire. Some of his troops rushed to the fire with buckets to prepare to put out the fire, but this unknown fire was not afraid of water, on the contrary, after this bucket of water was splashed, the fire spread more and more vigorously to the surrounding area.

For the first time, the soldiers saw a fire that could not be extinguished by water, and the screams of the Turkic soldiers in the sea of fire were really terrible. After listening to it, people only felt that their hairs stood on end, and the only hope for some of the Turks who were still alive in the fire was to run back to the camp and be rescued by the Turkic army in the camp to survive. But in the eyes of the Eastern Turkic soldiers, an object with a demonic appearance that was burning all over his body and walked a little unsteadily, pounced on him. So some timid soldiers directly dropped their weapons and fled, and one soldier started by leading a small group of soldiers to retreat collectively.

At this time, Shibi Khan stepped forward, took the bow from the Turkic soldiers next to him, and shouted to the soldiers who had fled: "You cowards, stop me!" ”

Then he shot the burning Turk to the ground with an arrow from his bow and arrow, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly break out the deep trench and stop the fire from spreading to the camp." At the same time, if anyone in the fire tries to cross the trench and rush to the camp, they will be killed. ”

The soldiers around Shibi Khan faithfully carried out his orders, driving the slaves to dig a trench and clear an area from the fire. On the other side, they were all armed with hard crossbows, cautiously watching the people in the fire. As soon as you find someone trying to break out of the fire, you immediately shoot him with a bow and arrow.

The fire burned for half an hour, and was gradually extinguished as the fuel in the fire ran out. When everyone looked at the fire again, they couldn't see the dozen or so stone throwers that had been standing there before, and only the ashes and fire left there could not burn the remaining stone bullets.

At this time, Shibi Khan, who had watched the whole process, gasped, and secretly said in his heart that if this liquid spilled into his camp, the consequences would be unimaginable. Then he thought that this kind of inextinguishable heavenly fire had contaminated his body, and Shibi Khan felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, and it was unnatural to put his hands and feet. Since the fire started, the Great Wall has stopped throwing crockpots containing black liquid at its side, but who can say why the projection stopped? What if the Han Chinese simply used this time to transport more of these crockpots to the front line to target their next target? Thinking of this, Shibi Khan said with a somewhat pale face: "Order the troops that are attacking in front to withdraw, and the army will set off to camp and withdraw from the camp for five miles." ”

After seeing the power of this heavenly fire, the military spirit of the Turks had long been weakened. It's just that he didn't get the Khan's order at this time, and it was also because he didn't threaten his life for the time being, so he stabilized his position. After hearing the Khan's order at this time, the Turks ran back to the camp to pack their things as if they had been amnesty. At the same time, the Turkic army that was besieging the city was first accidentally injured by the stone bullets fired by their own catapults, and then completely watched the soldiers on the catapult position being burned by fire. At this time, he just wanted to flee for his life, and at this time, he saw an order to withdraw from the Turkic military camp. They also rushed to flee for their lives from the foot of the Great Wall.

At this time, the defenders at the head of the city also came to their senses, put down the muskets in their hands one after another, and once again used strong bows and crossbows to shoot at the retreating Turkic army under the city, and after throwing hundreds of corpses, the Turkic army besieging the city finally withdrew to the camp, and then the entire Turkic military camp fled back for five miles before setting up camp again.

Seeing that the Turkic army north of the city wall not only retreated all the troops attacking the city, but also retreated back with the entire military camp, Zhang Deqing was relieved, and hurriedly commanded his troops to start carrying down the soldiers who had been injured in the defensive battle just now on the city head and sending them to the rear hospital for treatment. At the same time, in order to make up for the vacancies of the wounded and sick, the corresponding number of people was transferred from the reserve force of the Great Wall garrison to fill the defense line, so as to ensure that the Great Wall defense line was in a state of sufficient personnel at all times. As for the corpses of the Turks under the city walls, they mainly followed Li Wenyuan's instructions, and after the soldiers were lowered from the city with hanging baskets, these soldiers cut off all the heads of the Turkic corpses and piled them up into a Jingguan, and the headless corpses were dug into a deep pit and then burned to prevent the occurrence of the plague.
