The heat of the burning city was felt even by the wounded soldiers, and the warmth was already felt in the middle of winter, and the wounded, who were a little stiff from the cold, began to feel their limbs become more flexible.

"It's starting to catch fire in the direction of the South Gate!" Ling Feiyan faced the sky-high flames in the distance and analyzed worriedly: "The people of the Lower Tang Dynasty have begun to take out that cyan ghost fire again, they are planning to burn Anzhou City to the ground!" ”

"Judging by the fire, the fire brigade should be powerless." Si Heng also looked quite anxious, after all, there were some wounded soldiers behind him, and once the fire spread here, the scene could be imagined.

"The general should be able to control the overall situation, I believe he must be organizing people to extinguish the fire at this time!" Ling Feiyan still trusts King Yu very much, "Besides, the snow has just stopped, and if you want to continue burning, you will be hindered by the snow water, by the way, we can use snow to cover the flames!" ”

"I've heard Shao Ning say that these cyan flames can't be extinguished with water."

"What? Can't water extinguish fire? ”

"Because this is not an ordinary fire, how can a flame burn that is cyan?"

"Let's organize the evacuation of the wounded soldiers as soon as possible, after all, this is directly behind the fire."

"Good!"

As soon as Si Heng agreed, a feathered arrow with cyan flames shot a few feet behind him.

"Oops! The East Gate is also under attack! We've got to hurry! ”

Si Heng was right, Wu Yu saw that the wind was gradually subsiding, so he ordered the army besieging the east gate and the west gate to also start deploying green fireflies, leaving only a gap in the north gate.

Although Geng Yan and He Yunke guarded the east and west gates respectively, they organized their armies to launch fierce counterattacks, and also attacked the enemy with feather arrows, but the disadvantage in numbers put their counterattack at a disadvantage. As more and more soldiers died in battle, the two had already bent their bows and arrows themselves, but the sudden scene on the city made both of them stunned.

In fact, what Geng Yan and He Yunke saw was what happened to the fire extinguishing team, one soldier after another suddenly turned into pillars of fire, and the flames began to burn from their bodies until they burned to ashes. What's more, once they become pillars of fire, they will make more robes around them become like them.

No one has ever seen such a scene, people can still start burning from their own bodies, this is beyond the cognition of the soldiers of the Liang Dynasty, this is no longer a tactic but a witchcraft!

As the resistance of the head of the city became weaker and weaker, the attacks from below became stronger and stronger, and feathered arrows with cyan sparks pierced all corners of the city. More feathered arrows flew directly over the city and into the city, turning the houses in the city into flames.

Judging from the increasing number of feather arrows coming in, Si Heng knew that the resistance of the city head had encountered strong resistance, and there was not much time left for him, but unfortunately he was lame and his own movement was already inconvenient, so what he could do at this time was to stand on a high place and command.

"The people, the men all came to carry the wounded, and the women followed the rouge to grab the medicinal herbs, went out through the back door, and moved to the north of the city!"

The wounded soldiers were in disarray, but fortunately, with Si Heng's command, the scene did not get out of control, but soon his command was challenged. Some sparks floating from nearby fell on some of the wounded, and after a while, the wounded and the people were burning, and like everyone else, Si Heng was also the first time to see a strange scene where people could start burning from their bodies.

Whoosh! A few feather arrows resulted in these burning men, and Ling Scarlet shouted to everyone, "Don't let the sparks get on your body!" ”

But the sparks were too small, and little by little they flickered in the air like fireflies, and as more feathered arrows entered the city, more houses fell into flames, and the more sparks filled the air more and more, and it was difficult to dodge.

In addition to Mars, the smoke and dust from the burning of the house have been shrouded in Anzhou City, and the smoke and dust have begun to choke people who can't open their eyes and cough vigorously. Si Heng used his hands to disperse the black smoke and dust that drifted over, and he shouted to several men, "Go to the well to fetch water!" ”

When more and more buckets were brought to the courtyard, Si Heng shouted: "Wet the cloth strip with water and wrap it around your head, so that you can resist the smoke and dust!" ”

The people and the wounded did the same, but Si Heng and everyone did not expect that this move was to resist the smoke and dust, but it caused more serious consequences. The Martian children in the sky came towards the wounded soldiers, and the Martian children seemed to be attracted by the people, and they frantically pasted towards the people, and immediately turned more people into pillars of fire.

A woman beside her burned, Ling Feiyan decisively abandoned the strip of cloth in her hand, picked up a fan from the ground and began to fan the spark floating in the air, although the fan played a role in igniting the fire, making the spark burn more violently, but at least let the spark float to a higher place, away from the crowd.

"Sister Scarlet Yan, you have made the fire even more prosperous like this!"

Ling Feiyan naturally understood what Rouge meant, and she roared: "I can't care so much now, let these Mars fly higher first, and buy time for us to transfer the wounded!" ”

Although Rouge disagreed, he still called on some women to also start fanning towards the sparks in the air, using different tools, including paper shells, wood chips, clothes, etc., as long as they could play the role of fanning.

The original Martians began to grow in large clusters, but they also flew to high ground, and the men gained time to safely evacuate the wounded. But how can manpower defy the sky? More and more feather arrows were fired, and the fire around them became bigger and bigger, and even the wounded soldiers had begun to burn, and the sparks that had become fire points sank one after another, looking for a suitable place to burn.

There are too many wounded, and half of them have not been transferred yet. At last one of the wounded soldiers stood up to fight, and the man who took the lead shouted to the crowd: "Thank you for taking care of us, but we are soldiers and soldiers, and even if we cannot resist the invasion at this time, we can no longer affect the people!" Captain Si Heng, you take the people and go first! ”

"What nonsense!" Si Heng spat and roared: "We should protect the people, but you are my robes and siblings, how can I give up!" ”

"We're so badly wounded!" The wounded soldier at the head of the group pointed to the wounded beside him with tears in his eyes and said: "You transfer those who can still walk, we can't go!" ”

Si Heng saw that some of these wounded were unconscious, and more of them lost one or two legs, although the wounds were bandaged, there was no doubt that those who could not move during this war were destined to become a drag on everyone.

The wounded who were unable to walk gathered together, holding hands with each other, each with perseverance on their faces, and they firmly told everyone with their actions: Run for your lives, we will live and die with here!

The fire burned down one side of the roof, more sparks flew into the courtyard, and the wounded burned one after another, but no one among them shouted, even if the pain caused by the burning of the flesh and skin of the flame was unbearable, but they endured, because they were soldiers, and they had to retain the last trace of pride as soldiers even if they died.

"Let's go!"

This was their last shout, the entire courtyard had been reduced to a sea of fire, everyone was deeply shocked by their courage to die, and Si Heng was already in tears and unable to control himself.

Ling Feiyan wiped away her tears and urged: "Everyone hurry up and take action, don't let them sacrifice in vain!" ”

In the city, it was not only the wounded protected by Ling Feiyan and Si Heng who were busy transferring, but also the firefighting team led by Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang. To say that they were indeed derelict in their duties, the city was in flames, but they were helpless, although Xuan Shaoning still organized several tentative efforts, but the result was nothing after paying a few lives.

In the end, Xuan Shaoning could only give up helplessly, he couldn't let the soldiers around him die in vain, and there were not many soldiers left around him. Ghost fire has a power beyond ordinary people's comprehension, just like witchcraft, which can make anyone who comes into contact with ghost fire become a pillar of fire in an instant.

"What to do, Shaoning!"

There was no need for Duan Lang to urge, Xuan Shaoning had already planned for the worst in his mind.

"Anzhou City has been attacked by fire on three sides, half of the city has been reduced to a sea of fire, Anzhou City can't be defended, we must evacuate quickly!"

"Evacuate? Where can I evacuate? The enemy's intentions are obvious, besieging three sides and leaving one side of the north gate, once we withdraw from the north gate, isn't it just falling into the enemy's trap? ”

"Yes, the terrain outside the north gate is not open enough, not far away is Taoshui, once besieged, we are afraid that we will become a live target for the enemy!" One of the fighters also agreed with Duan Lang's analysis.

Xuan Shaoning turned around and asked, "It's the middle of winter, and with the heavy snow in the previous three days, do you think the water will freeze?" ”

His question really stunned everyone, because the war had caused almost everyone to focus on the battlefield and ignore the other factors.

"Shaoning, what do you mean?"

"I mean that...... Leverage your strength! ”
