Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 147 Self-immolation
The faces of the soldiers who rushed to the forefront began to turn blue, and then they began to tear their clothes in pain, as the armor was removed, their clothes were taken off, their bodies were exposed, and the original normal body slowly appeared little by little cyan, as the cyan dots became more and more, more and more dense, the soldiers themselves became a flame, a flame that burned out of the body.
The soldiers actually began to catch fire, and the flames were not lit from the outside, but from the inside. Miao Wei could still hear the wails of the soldiers at first, but after a while, he couldn't make any sound. The warriors turned around with difficulty, and one by one the living people turned into moving pillars of fire, and the warrior who burned the most was completely invisible to his upper body, only the cyan flames that soared into the sky.
The pillar of fire staggered towards the fire extinguishing team, they could no longer be called "people" at this time, and mechanically stretched out two burning sticks and danced in the air. The scene was terrifying, these pillars of fire were going to fall to the ground and die sooner or later, but before they died, they swung more cyan sparks into the sky.
Miao Wei clearly saw that a warrior beside him sucked a spark into his mouth because he was nervous and scared to breathe, and then the warrior began to cough violently, and his facial features began to distort, as if he had suffered great pain, and the warrior let out a roar like a beast, and also began to tear his clothes.
Miao Wei wanted to go up to help, he wanted to hold down the warrior, he wanted to relieve the warrior's pain, but as soon as his hand touched the warrior's naked body, it immediately rebounded. It's hot! The warrior's body is slowly turning into a stove that can be scalded at the slightest touch. As a result, the warrior began to burst out of his mouth, eyes, nostrils, and ears, just like the men before him, and another pillar of fire, burning and dancing wildly.
"It must be these ghost fires!" Miao Wei yelled at the soldiers behind him: "Retreat, retreat, stay away from those ghost fires, don't be touched by Mars!" ”
The pillars of fire did not last long before they fell, and immediately the cyan flames engulfed them all, and the warriors could smell the burnt flesh, and some of the young warriors could not help but vomit when they saw this scene and smelled the burning human flesh. But as soon as they began to gasp for breath, the Martian Seed came towards them like a fly attracted by carrion, and once someone inhaled the Martian Seed, the fate was the same as those previous pillars of fire.
Miao Wei led people to retreat one after another, and the houses that were set on fire became more and more burning because they could not be extinguished in time, and what was even more painful was that the southeast wind began to blow from noon, and the fire was even more arrogant with the help of the wind, and the houses were shrouded in flames one after another.
Before the three of Xuan Shaoning, who rushed to participate in the firefighting, arrived at the south gate, the sky-high fire in the direction of the south gate had already come into view.
"Oh my God, the fire is so big! The firefighting team doesn't seem to be working! Duan Lang said uneasily.
Xuan Shaoning tightened the reins, "The wind fuels the fire, how can it be quickly changed by man, the number of firefighting teams is not enough, it is too late, Xinggang, you can go and see if you can gather some people to participate in the firefighting?" ”
"Yes!" Xing Gang turned his horse's head and headed towards the area where the people were housed, while Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang continued to gallop towards the south gate.
"Captain Miao, this fire is getting bigger and bigger, what should we do?"
A general asked Miao Wei for instructions, and Miao Wei stared at the raging fire, knowing that it must be his own dereliction of duty if he allowed the fire to spread.
Miao Wei tore off the corners of his clothes and wrapped his entire head, revealing only a pair of eyes, and then shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Wrap yourself up, we are a firefighting team, and we must not easily retreat at this time!" ”
After saying that, Miao Wei took the lead in rushing into the fire with sand on his back, and he quickly judged that the continuous houses could not be saved, but the houses near the south gate area set up a relatively wide street near the center of the city, which could become a line of fire to isolate the fire.
"Dump all the sand on this row of houses, and never let the fire cross this street!"
Led by Miao Wei, the firefighters climbed up to the house one after another, covering the roof, doorway, corridor and other places of the house. In the midst of the fire, they had to carry heavy sand, and many of the soldiers were already a little overwhelmed, and although the fire was still some way away, the heat had already smoked them and sweated profusely. One of the warriors lifted the cloth wrapped around his face to wipe away the beads of sweat that were dripping down, and in just a few moments, a little spark stuck to his face.
Ahhh A heart-rending roar spread among the warriors, for the warrior on fire was in the middle of the ranks, and as soon as he struggled, more sparks immediately drifted out, and when he saw people, he pressed them onto them, and although his face was wrapped in cloth, his eyes were not, and the sparks rushed into the eyes of the warriors.
Eyes breathe fire, which was originally just the content of acrobatics, and today it was witnessed by all the survivors present. Even if the iron and blood are as strong as the Red Tail Army, the soldiers are first and second to a soldier, and after facing such an inexplicable danger, even the most psychologically strong people will be afraid. If they were allowed to fight bloody battles on the battlefield, most people would feel honored, but if they died in such a strange way, no one would want to.
Miao Wei's practice of creating a line of fire still played a certain role, and many sparks fell on the sand and then went out after a few jumps. However, due to the panic within the fire brigade, the houses that had not been able to sprinkle the sand in time were still attacked by ghost fires.
In the face of his subordinates who were willing to retreat, even if Miao Wei could understand, as a soldier, he would never allow deserters to appear in his team.
"No backwards!" Miao Wei pulled out his saber and shouted at the fire extinguishing team: "No matter how weird these ghost fires are, it is our duty to control them, if anyone dares to take a step back, I will not forgive them!" ”
Miao Wei roared so hoarse that he didn't notice a little spark on his forehead, and as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a burning pain coming from his forehead. Miao Wei stretched out his hand and kept patting on his forehead, but the slapping not only did not extinguish the fire on his forehead, but made his hands stained with flames.
Next, Miao Wei finally realized the pain of those soldiers before, because he soon felt that his body was burning, and the flames were burning in his stomach, burning more and more, and that burning sensation made Miao Wei finally couldn't help but start tearing his clothes. It's too hot, it's so painful! Only by exposing yourself completely can you lower your body temperature.
"Captain Miao!"
The last people Miao Wei's eyes saw before they were engulfed by tongues of fire were Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang, he didn't see the stunned looks on their faces when they saw their miserable situation, his brain was only a flame, he couldn't think about anything, he only had human instinct, an instinctive desire to survive.
Xuan Shaoning watched Miao Wei turn into a pillar of fire, his whole body burning violently, walking back and forth around, and his body swinging greatly to create more sparks. Miao Wei is considered a man, even after his whole body is on fire, he has survived longer than ordinary people, but it is just a while of pain.
Xuan Shaoning couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he took Duan Lang's bow and arrow and shot a feather arrow into Miao Wei's body, this can be regarded as helping him to get free, right? Miao Wei fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and continued to struggle for a while before he stopped moving, completely reduced to a fireball.
"Captain Xuan, quickly cover your heads, otherwise you will be the same as Captain Miao!"
Someone reminded Duan Lang that Duan Lang looked at the firefighting soldiers not far away, who were all wrapped all over their bodies, and immediately tore off a corner and wrapped it around his face, and at the same time did not forget to urge Xuan Shaoning to do the same.
"What the hell is going on?" Xuan Shaoning asked, but no one could give a reasonable explanation, and everyone could only watch as the fire successfully crossed the line of fire and burned into the second area.
At this time, the fire extinguishing team, which had a small number of people, was already helpless, and the fire was completely uncontrollable at this point. Xuan Shaoning took Miao Wei's baton and began to command the orderly retreat of the fire fighting team, thinking while retreating, if the fire is allowed to spread, then Anzhou City will become a sea of fire sooner or later, and at that time, there will be no need for the enemy to attack, and Anzhou City will be broken.
But the reality does not allow Xuan Shaoning to make more efforts, the firefighters around him are turning into pillars of fire one after another, and every time he can only shoot them to death with feather arrows, so that they will suffer less torture, but the feather arrows are used to shoot his own brother, this feeling really makes Xuan Shaoning feel painful.
In just a few hours, the south gate of Anzhou City has become a fire hell. Wu hopes that this wind will not stop and continue to cause more and greater casualties for him.
