Chapter 361: The Battle of Zhuji Town IV
No one knows what that swarthy liquid is? When the battle guards of the forward force hurried after the captives retreating, they unknowingly entered the liquid-covered area, and the action of Yagifu to send people to pour the black liquid was already secret, and it was dark at this time, and it was the chaos of the big battle, so no one paid attention to this.
Yagibu looked at the movement of the battlefield opposite, although the remaining 1 million prisoners were entangled, they were also desperately retreating, but the battle guards of the three corps bit them to death, after half an hour of struggle, only more than 200,000 prisoners successfully withdrew, and the remaining 800,000 soldiers were completely intercepted by the battle guards.
When the soldiers of the Battle Guard successfully intercepted the 800,000 prisoners who intended to retreat, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Battle Guard also stepped into the trap area, and seeing that the 800,000 captives could not be withdrawn, Yagibu commanded the soldiers holding torches on both sides: "Light the fire." ”
Hearing Yagibu's order, looking at the 800,000 soldiers who were still struggling in front of him, Ino Maru, Nanyang Akira, Itagaki Junji, Shinozuka Heiai and the commanders around him all showed a trace of unbearable, Zhong Shenxiu looked at everyone's expressions, and secretly wondered in his heart, I don't know why they showed such an appearance, but then, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
With Yagibu's order, I saw tens of thousands of soldiers with torches rushing forward, at this moment they were only five miles away from the captive soldiers, after seeing the actions of these soldiers, Zhong Shenxiu and the soldiers of the Battle Guard thought that they were going to support the captive soldiers, just when everyone thought that these soldiers were mantis arms as a car, those soldiers made a strange move.
I saw that when the soldiers with torches ran to the captives, they did not stop the war guards from fighting the captives, but threw the torches in their hands one after another, and for a while, tens of thousands of torches were thrown out at the same time.
"What's going on? Where did the fire come from? ”
"There is no firewood on the ground, how did this fire burn?"
"Oh my God, this fire is too big, and it's too fast, get out of here."
"Damn, there's a fire all around, roll on the spot, take off your clothes, get water and douse it."
When the fire broke out, it quickly swept half of the battlefield with the momentum of wind and clouds, swallowing 800,000 prisoners and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Battle Guard in an instant. Once it is wet, it is difficult to extinguish.
They tried all kinds of methods, burying the earth, slapping it, taking off their coats, covering it with water-soaked cloth, and some even jumped into a nearby puddle, but the flames did not go out, but burned from the water.
At first, everyone was busy putting out the fire and saving themselves, but after trying all kinds of methods and failing to extinguish the flames, everyone began to panic, and for a while, countless painful wails resounded all around, many people fell to the ground and rolled, seeing their comrades calling for help, many soldiers rushed over to extinguish the fire, but as soon as they came into contact with the flames, the fire burned on themselves.
Seeing the flames so weird, the soldiers of the Battle Guards were stunned, looking at the battlefield in front of them like a mountain of flames, and hearing the wails and cries for help of those comrades in the flames, they stayed where they were and didn't know what to do. Just when everyone was stunned, Gu Xiuyuan rushed out with flames all over his body, he had led his troops to chase at the front before, so he was also burned by the flames.
Fortunately, Gu Xiuyuan's martial arts were strong, and he forcibly rushed out of the fire, and seeing Gu Xiuyuan's body full of flames, the soldiers hurriedly brought a huge bucket full of water, wanting to let Gu Xiuyuan enter the bucket to extinguish the fire.
"Stop!"
Just as Gu Xiuyuan was about to jump into the bucket, Ling Xia's shout came from a distance, and everyone turned around to take a look, only to see Ling Xia running over holding a red bottle with a nozzle.
