Chapter 263: Hold on for another quarter of an hour at most
The rain of arrows falling from the sky slowed down the approaching speed of the soldiers in southern Xinjiang, countless poisonous snakes spitting letters, and hungry wolves with saliva...... was pierced by the sharp arrow to the vital point of the body, and fell down unwillingly.
The elephants at the front were thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and even if they had seven or eight arrows hanging on their bodies, it did not affect their progress in the slightest.
As if having discovered this, the vipers spitting letters crawled down the elephant's limbs into the folds of the elephant's body, using those folds as a haven.
Those hungry wolves began to gather in the middle, and ran towards the tower of Wan'an City at the fastest speed. In the process of running, countless hungry wolves were shot through the throat by sharp arrows, but there were many more hungry wolves who survived to the bottom of the tower of Wan'an City in the flesh and blood shields built by their companions.
Looking at the closed city gates, the hungry wolves standing by the moat raised their heads and howled. The cold light emanating from the wolf's eyes made the soldiers on the city tower almost unable to hold the longbow in their hands.
The elephant soldiers, who had many poisonous snakes hidden in the folds of their bodies, also came closer, and when the elephants had passed the nearest range of the archers, the poisonous snakes climbed down from the elephant's body and crawled towards the walls of Wan'an City.
Moats and high walls could hold back the hungry wolves, but they could not stop the vipers who spit letters.
A swarm of venomous snakes slipped into the water and swam from the surface to the wall, and as soon as the snake tilted its head, it climbed up the wall.
The archers put down their longbows, took the oil drums that had been prepared in advance, lit them with fire, and rolled down the walls.
The burning oil barrel rolled down, and the fire oil got on the fastest and tallest snakes, and it burned in an instant. When the burning oil drum rolled into the middle of the city wall, it exploded, killing patches of poisonous snakes. The fragments of the oil drums with sparks flew to the other side of the moat with the force of the explosion, and pierced into the bodies of the hungry wolves.
In a short time, the moat was dyed blood-red, and on the surface of the river, there were countless poisonous snake bodies that had been broken into several pieces.
After an hour, Liu Shaoqing, whose face was covered with dirt, walked to Xiao Zhihan's side, and shouted loudly amid the sound of war and shouting of killing, "Lord Wang, the stock of fire oil is no longer enough, at most it can only hold on for another quarter of an hour." ”
Xiao Zhihan looked at the battle situation below the city tower expressionlessly, and said without looking back, "Send all the remaining fire oil over, order it to go down, and after a stick of incense, everyone retreats to the back mountain!" ”
"Xiao Zhihan, you take them away first!" Yan Xi stroked the big white fox's head and said in a voice that only Xiao Zhihan could hear, "The team of people you and the Liu City Lord led is very important, if you can't arrive in time, this whole plan will be in vain." ”
Xiao Zhihan turned his head and looked at Yan Xi with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
Yan Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm just delaying them for a quarter of an hour to buy you some time." What's more, I have a big white here, and I may not be slower than yours. ”
After looking at Yan Xi deeply for a long time, Xiao Zhihan pulled Yan Xi into his arms and hugged him tightly. After letting go of her, he looked directly into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to be strong, and you will come to the Evil Ghost Cliff intact to see this king!" ”
Yan Xi looked at Xiao Zhihan with a smile and nodded.
"Lord Wang, all the oil has been sent." Liu Shaoqing led people to send more than a dozen barrels of oil up, and said loudly to Xiao Zhihan.
"Tell me to go down and retreat to the back mountain immediately!" Xiao Zhihan looked at Liu Shaoqing and ordered in a deep voice.
Liu Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Zhihan and asked, "Lord Wang, if you retreat like this, ...... here?"
Just when Liu Shaoqing was worried that there was not enough time to retreat, Yan Xi's voice with a smile came into his ears.
"Lord Liucheng, don't worry, I'm here." Yan Xi saw Liu Shaoqing's mouth half-open in shock, smiled, and said jokingly, "But your speed should be faster, just these dozen barrels of oil, I can only help you fight for a moment at most." ”
Liu Shaoqing looked at Yan Xi as if he was joking, and Xiao Zhihan on the side did not stop him, and immediately went down to give the order.
In less than half a pillar of incense, the nearly 1,000 soldiers who stayed on the city tower were all ready to go, walking in the direction of the Evil Ghost Cliff.
"Lord Wang, the soldiers have all left." Liu Shaoqing ran back to the city tower and said to Xiao Zhihan, who was still on the city tower.
Xiao Zhihan nodded, glanced at Yan Xi, didn't say anything, and turned around to go down to the city.
From the time Liu Shaoqing began to arrange the retreat of the soldiers left behind on the city tower, Fang Qi guessed what they were going to do. Looking at the soldiers who quickly left the city tower, Fang Qi couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart.
If he didn't know Xiao Zhihan's strategy, he was afraid that Wan'an City would really have a chance to reverse the defeat this time. It's a pity that these strategies have long been known to him, even if they go to the back mountain and prepare everything to be foolproof, it will be useless.
Yan Xi looked at Fang Qi who was sneering next to him, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Fang Jian Jun plans to stay and delay time with me?" ”
Fang Qi looked at Yan Xi, and after showing a sympathetic smile at her, he no longer talked to her quickly, and followed Xiao Zhihan with a few personal guards.
Xiao Zhihan is his target, no matter what, he can't be lost.
After Xiao Zhihan and the others left, Yan Xi poured more than a dozen barrels of fire oil on the city tower into the moat under the city tower as quickly as possible.
Yan Xi took out a handful of highly poisonous powder specially designed to deal with these poisonous snakes and beasts, sprinkled it into the last barrel of fire oil, put the oil barrel on the edge of the city wall, lit the fire, and then rolled the burning oil barrel down the edge of the city wall.
Halfway to the wall, the oil drum exploded violently, carrying the fragments of sparks, and fell into the moat.
The water of the moat, which was floating with a thick layer of fire oil, met the open flame, and instantly burned. From a distance, the entire Wan'an City seemed to be surrounded by a fire dragon, isolating those poisonous snakes and beasts that were naturally afraid of fire.
Taking advantage of the fact that the fire dragon under the city tower stopped those poisonous snakes and beasts, Yan Xi took out dozens of poisonous explosive bombs and threw them at the southern Xinjiang army below the city tower.
The moment the poisonous bomb exploded in the southern Xinjiang army, patches of poisonous snakes and beasts and soldiers in southern Xinjiang fell weakly. Those who fell, their faces were dark, their eyes bulging, and on their bare skin were several clearly visible bulging black-red veins.
Then, the bulging black-red veins burst open, and a cloud of black-red blood flowed out. But whenever they touched those blood waters, whether it was poisonous snakes and beasts, or those soldiers in southern Xinjiang, they instantly seemed to be infected, and they had exactly the same symptoms as those who had fallen before.
Yan Xi stood on the city tower, looking at the symptoms that spread like a plague under the city, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.
These dozens of poisonous bombs contained the blood of those infected with the Pingcheng plague that she had refined. This poison is even more terrifying than the poisonous people refined by Yan Song, the previous valley master of the Medicine King Valley.
"Spread out, spread out!" Under the tower, the king of Nanjiang, who was riding on the back of a giant elephant, looked at the fierce beasts and soldiers who had fallen in pieces around him, and shouted angrily.
After avoiding the falling crowd from a distance, the king of Nanjiang looked up at Yan Xi on the city wall, and his eyes were full of monstrous killing intent. With his hands clenched, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at Yan Xi fiercely, eager to take her life immediately.
In this short period of time, he lost tens of thousands of troops, how could he not be angry!
Lida, the second prince of southern Xinjiang, drove the giant elephant under him and retreated into the distance, his face full of horror.
What the hell is this, how can it be so lethal! What the hell was Fang Qi doing, such an important thing, why did he never mention it!
On the other side, Zu Haier, the great prince of Southern Xinjiang, looked at the anger of the king of Southern Xinjiang with an absent face, looked at Rida's panic, and looked at the Southern Xinjiang soldiers and poisonous snakes and beasts that fell one after another around him, and a ripple slowly opened up in his eyes.
Raising his head and looking at the arrogant figure on the city tower, Zuhair's eyes rose with a strong interest.
It took a quarter of an hour for the king of southern Xinjiang to calm down the riot caused by the soldiers of southern Xinjiang and the poisonous snakes and beasts around him. In order not to affect more soldiers and poisonous snakes and beasts in southern Xinjiang, the king of southern Xinjiang directly ordered to burn all the poisoned corpses with a fire.
The fire dragon in the moat gradually became smaller, and even a few poisonous snakes had passed through the fire dragon and continued to climb towards the long building.
Yan Xi smiled and said to Dabai, "Two quarters of an hour, Xiao Zhihan should be enough." ”
Da Bai let out a low roar at Yan Xi, and his body suddenly emitted a white light. After that white light dissipated, Da Bai's body had already become a head taller than Yan Xi. The snow-white fox fur is particularly dazzling on the tower of Wan'an City, which has been eroded by the war.
"Let's go." Yan Xi jumped onto Da Bai's back, gently patted Da Bai's fox head, and whispered in Da Bai's ear.
Da Bai jumped down from the other side of the city tower, spread his four fox paws, and quickly ran towards the evil ghost cliff on the mountain behind Wan'an City.
As soon as he entered the back mountain, he hadn't gone too far before Yan Xi noticed that something was wrong.
The armies of southern Xinjiang have not yet entered Wan'an City, how can there be such a heavy smell of blood in the mountains behind this?
"Dabai, slow down." patting the big white fox's head, Yan Xi commanded softly.
Da Bai understood, sniffed his nose, and walked in the direction where the smell of blood came from.
After walking less than 100 meters, more than a dozen corpses of Wan'an City soldiers appeared within Yan Xi's line of sight. Jumping off Da Bai's back, Yan Xi walked towards the corpses on the ground, only to see that all those corpses were killed with a knife!
The corpses' faces were full of horror, as if they had seen something that shouldn't be here. He held his weapon tightly, but if he didn't fight back, he lost the power to fight back forever.
Yan Xi's face was slightly gloomy, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he walked inside. The further he went, the more corpses Yan Xi saw. When she was about to approach the Demon Cliff, there were at least a thousand corpses she saw.
Looking up at the direction of the Evil Ghost Cliff, Yan Xi's eyes were cold.
What the hell happened in the Devil's Cliff in these two quarters of an hour! The soldiers of Wan'an City, who were supposed to be ambushed in the Demon Cliff, why are they lying dead here!
At this time, in the Evil Ghost Cliff, Xiao Zhihan took the few thousand remaining soldiers and looked at the tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang soldiers who surrounded them with dark clouds on their faces.
