Chapter 198: The Battle for the Defending the City XII

When Ling Xia ordered the fire, Yue Qianfeng took out a strong bow, the tip of the arrow was wrapped in a ball of linoleum soaked in copper oil, and after it was ignited with a fire fold, the linoleum quickly burned, pulled the strong bow, put the burning arrow on the bowstring, aimed at a clearing in the distance, Yue Qianfeng shot the arrow.

"Whew!"

There was a long roar, and the flaming arrows fell on the clearing, because the trap was covered with wood stained with copper oil, so when the rocket landed, it quickly ignited the copper oil and wood on the ground, and the flames on this side came together, and the soldiers distributed around the edge of the maze ignited the rocket at the same time, they didn't need to aim, they just shot the burning arrows into the maze.

When the flames in the labyrinth were ignited, the island soldiers trapped in the labyrinth suddenly panicked, the fire spread very quickly, with the blessing of copper oil and wood, the whole labyrinth gradually burned, at first the flames were only burning on the periphery, but after a few breaths, the wind covered the entire labyrinth like a whirlwind, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there was a thick smoke of fire.

The soldiers of the island country have never seen the labyrinth at all, they have always thought that they are in the streets of the city, seeing that there is a fire, the soldiers of the island country are running frantically, trying to find the exit and run out, just when the soldiers are running in a panic, the enemy's cavalry regiment is in trouble, because they are frightened after seeing the flames, and all the horses are storming away.

The war horses ignored the orders of the cavalry, and ran around the labyrinth, many of the war horses were burned by the fire because their hair was stained with copper oil, and the horses ran faster under fear, but these war horses with flames were like moving torches when they ran, igniting all the wood along the way, and the flames became bigger and bigger.

"What's going on? Where did the fire come from? It's not good, it's a trick, retreat quickly. ”

"It's on fire, help, I'm all on fire, come and save me."

"Ah, it's hot, there's so much smoke here, my eyes are blinded."

"Help, hurry up and put out the flames on my body, my hands are scorched."

"Water, where is the water? Quickly put out the fire with water, I can't stand it anymore, please. ”

"You soldiers on fire, get out of the way, don't bring the flames here."

"Damn the people of the Xia Dynasty, they are so vicious and want to burn us."

Suddenly, the wailing sound in the labyrinth resounded in the sky, and after the fire burned in full swing, all the island soldiers trapped in the labyrinth were frightened, and when they saw that there were flames all around, everyone regretted it, regretted that they should not have rushed into the inner city, if they did not pursue the war guards and rushed into the inner city, then they would not be in danger, but it was too late to regret at this moment.

The soldiers of those island countries became more and more panicked the more they ran, and the originally orderly team collapsed in an instant, and the entire team of more than 300,000 people was swallowed up by the flames, whether it was a war horse or a soldier, they all became fire men and fire horses, the soldiers wailed and screamed in pain, and the war horses neighed in pain.

I saw the pained and panicked expressions on the faces of those soldiers covered in flames, they either scurried with their teeth and claws, or fell to the ground and rolled, or subconsciously tore their clothes, or were burned alive, until the moment of death, these island soldiers rose a trace of regret, regretting that they had joined the army, if they had not invaded the Xia Dynasty, maybe they would still be reunited with their families at home.

When the entire labyrinth was completely covered by flames, Ling Xia immediately sent people back to the city gate, closed the broken city gate again, and took advantage of the fact that the enemy army did not come to support, sent people to seal the city gate from the inside with stones, and then they walked up to the city wall, cleaned up the corpses on it, and re-armed, and the city gate that had just been lost returned to Ling Xia's hands again.

Looking at the raging flames in the city, Ling Xia did not move any compassion, if those island soldiers did not invade the territory of the Xia Dynasty, if the other party did not desperately attack the city, if they did not pursue themselves after breaking the city, then they would not be this fate, all of this was caused by the other party, and they couldn't complain about others.

Ling Xia instructed the soldiers to tidy up the scene, and at the same time sent someone to put the corpses of the soldiers, but when Ling Xia saw the blood on the city wall, he suddenly felt a wave of nausea, his mind was dizzy for a while, there was a breath in his chest as if he couldn't breathe, his hands and feet were weak and weak, it turned out that his fainting had an attack, and he shook his body, and he almost fainted.

Seeing Ling Xia's strange appearance, Yue Qianfeng hurriedly supported him, after following Ling Xia for so long, they all knew that Ling Xia had a problem with blood sickness, so after seeing Ling Xia's condition, they knew that Ling Xia's blood sickness had attacked, and everyone hurriedly set up a temporary tent, carried Ling Xia into the tent, and placed Ling Xia, Yue Qianfeng and the others continued to arrange defenses.

……

At this moment, the opposite island camp has not found anything abnormal, seeing that all the soldiers have chased in, Yamamoto Yoshio showed a smile on his face, and he said to the generals behind him with a little pride: "Our soldiers have successfully captured the southern city, and it won't be long before those battle guards are wiped out, and when the time comes, you will enter the city with me." ”

After a while, a huge fire rose in the city, the fire covered half of the city, and the sky was red, and at the same time, there were faint bursts of mourning from the opposite side, although it was not true, but thinking of the fire in the distance, it was not difficult to guess that someone must have been surrounded by the fire, there was no way to escape, and the wail was issued when he was dying.

Looking at the city where the flames were vacant, Yoshio Yamamoto said to everyone with a smile: "It seems that the battle guards defending the city plan to learn the path of the battle guards in the east city, and want to retreat into the inner city to disperse and dodge, and then play a game of hide and seek with us, hehe------ but they didn't expect our people to set fire to the city, this fire is good, it should be burned bigger."

The stinky boys who led our troops actually learned my method, and now they learned and sold to set fire to the city, look at this fire, they burned at least half of the city, and when they collect their troops and return, I have to warn them well, don't set fire to the city at every turn, if I let the commander of the Nakajima Corps know that the burning of the city is my attention, I will definitely criticize me. Hehe------"

"Hehehe...... Rest assured, the commander, the commander of the corps must know that this is your attention, and he will definitely reward you. ”

"yes, yes...... This burning rod should be set on fire to the guards who retreat without a fight. ”

"If you want me to say, this method of the commander-in-chief should be implemented by the whole army, and after capturing the city in the future, half of the city will be set on fire first."

……

Just as the generals of the island country were looking at the fire on the opposite side and talking confidently, suddenly, several sharp-eyed generals noticed that something was wrong, when they saw that the city gate that had been smashed was actually closed again, and many figures were filling the stones in the direction of the city gate, and at the same time, a corpse was thrown from the city wall, and someone seemed to be arming the city wall.

"Corps commanders, lords and gentlemen, don't be happy, the situation seems to be a little wrong." The adjutant general interrupted the crowd's playful ridicule.
