Chapter 2: Fire and Rain

"Is it all going to end? The Great Rout, the Great Rout of the Standard Standard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The true believers from Great Armenia and Melitene to Thrace to Seleucia have been destroyed at my hands. O Kabeamia, is this the punishment that the Lord has given you, the punishment of indulging in ********? But even if my miserable corpse rots with it in the coffin in the ground in the future, I will cry out—Gawain, you ruthless thief! ”

Until a believer beside her tore open the wrapping paper, took out a round hollow iron ball, pulled out the wooden stopper at the bottom of the ball, and then used a red-hot iron pestle to light the exposed lead, waved his arm, and the sparks spewed out by the round fire lead "roared" in the air, spun in circles with a sharp whistle, and fell straight to the top of the emperor's men and horses besieging the city.

Then Kabeamiya felt the whole world burst and collapse, and her hearing was restored.

Because she felt that her feet were shaking, and the entire long city wall seemed to be lifted by some terrifying force, was it an earthquake, or a tsunami?

The "Khitan Iron Fire Hammer" was on the heads of the emperor soldiers congested under the city wall, and the volley exploded, and the gray-black sulfur and charcoal smoke, carrying iron pieces and pottery shards, burst out under the orange-red flames, surrounding this fiery and diffusing dot, and the emperor soldiers around them fell down miserably, some covered the broken armor and groaned, and some rolled with their burned heads. But before the Varangian guards who were encircled at the "city gate" could react, the rest of the iron fire rained down from the city, and then it was like countless small stars exploding, and the fireworks continued to rise, mixed with the flesh and fragments of the soldiers.

"What's that!" Alexios and all the Imperial officers, who were supervising the battle behind, saw the flames of the siege troops and the tragic situation in the explosions, and they all exchanged their heads in horror, and the emperor held the horsewhip tightly, even though he was panicked in his heart, but his face was still very calm, and the imperial ink officer Meles had warned him that "the Seleucian rebels may have used powerful flame weapons."

At that time, the emperor didn't think so, his thinking was similar to that of most generals, "this kind of flame weapon is just imitating the imperial fire."

But what we saw today was that the fire that the rebels threw at the camp city was no ordinary flare pot, for the Emperor saw with his own eyes that several iron balls burning with sparks jumped and tumbled on the shields raised by the soldiers, and then fell at their feet, and then exploded, with terrifying power and fragments, slashing and burning his "sons and daughters of the barracks" in groups to the ground.

Among them, the Emperor's Praetorian Guards, who were responsible for storming the direction of the "city gate", were the most seriously killed, and on the two protruding high platforms of the city wall, the trained Paulianist believers and civilian soldiers braved the rain of arrows and threw the iron fire from both sides, many of which were filled with poison, and exploded and spread everywhere along the fireworks, and the emperor's carefully trained guards were killed and wounded all over the ground, many of them with inextinguishable flames on their clothes and armor, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and bravely waving their weapons to chop wooden fences and baskets, this scene was extremely terrifying.

Among them, on the high platform on the right side of the city gate, there was Sinkotoas who performed well on the mountain rock front yesterday, and at this time he was throwing the ignited iron balls one after another, constantly throwing them downward, and then turned his back, listening to the dull or sharp explosion below, feeling the platform under his ass shaking and trembling, very happy, he was completely addicted to all kinds of weapons made by Khitan fire, deeply addicted.

But then the two fire hammers thrown down by Sinkotoas were dumb and silent, "Give me another one!" Courageously, he took the flaming rod thrown at him by his comrades, pulled out the cork, lit the fuse, and said, "Give you a volley!" ”

At the moment when Sinkotoas stepped on the battlement and raised the high-speed iron fire, a stream of arrows flew up from below, rapidly piercing through Sinkotoas's chest, and he fell back sharply, and the fire hammer in his hand fell on the high platform, rolling with a spark grunt.

A loud bang instantly engulfed the entire high platform, and the lower half of his body was blown to pieces, and the upper half of his body flew out of the city wall, floating in the air for a while, and fell into the crowd attacking the city outside...... On the entire high platform on the right, about 20 guards, along with more than 100 fire shells, were all gone. Kabeamia and the soldiers around him watched dumbly as the entire platform was completely flattened, and the smoke and dust mixed with clods of dirt rolled down to the ground one by one.

Then the sharp-eyed consul looked at one of the believers in front of her, still holding a sparkling fire in her hand, and seemed to be so frightened that she forgot to throw it, "Ahhhh Kabeamia was confused, but she reacted quickly, worthy of the female fox of Konama, and snatched the fire with her hand, ready to throw it, but her hand slipped and jerked between her palms and arms, and finally the fire fell straight down the battlement.

Kabeamiya didn't see it, the fire hammer happened to hit the top of a ladder, and then rolled over the shoulders of the first emperor soldier, and then bounced to the chest of the next soldier, and fell between the ladders, and the gray-black clouds exploded in between: the ladder was immediately split into two, and the **** of the second soldier on the ladder was completely blown up, and half of his armor was broken into several pieces, and he fell to the ground and died; The one in front, clinging to the front half of the ladder, was attached to the wall of the sub-city, and fell down with blood stains and green smoke.

Although a high platform in Zicheng was destroyed, the sight caused even greater horror to the emperor's siege team, who could no longer endure the damage of the rain of fire, threw down hundreds of tired dead bodies, and turned and retreated towards their own camp.

"Crazy, all crazy......" Kabeamia, who had survived the disaster, squatted behind the battlements, covering her ears and hair with her hands, looking at the fireworks floating into the sky, muttering to herself, "I don't know if the weapon is crazy or the person is crazy." ”

The north wall and the ditch of the entire sub-city were pitch black and bloody, the dumb fire was still spewing smoke of various colors, and the blue-gray traces after the explosion were still mottled on the walls, the broken ladders and corpses were scattered all over the place, many people's internal organs were cracked, and the seriously injured and dying people were coughing hoarsely and crawling at the bottom of the trench.

Looking at the soldiers who retreated like a tide, the emperor looked at the enemy sub-city that had begun to repair the city defenses, and for a moment did not know what to say or what to do......

And in the small village under the southern slope, Yagfei held a long axe, and behind him stood the emperor's outer palace guards, although he saw the explosions and smoke on the side of the sub-city, but he did not know what was happening, the only thing he saw was the Seleucian enemy soldiers who fled everywhere, "The enemy has begun to collapse, follow me, attack the rebels' sub-city along here, and kill them all." "This is the judgment of the commander of the Emperor's Guard.

In front of Yagfei's eyes were Gawain's two Praetorian Guard detachments totaling 300 people, and the civilian army that had been assisting in the defense with Dimu and Muzafiadin had already fled. (To be continued.) )
