Before the large number of siege soldiers and horses gathered under the city could fully react, the flames rising from the feet were already raging. Seeing this, the soldiers immediately realized that the sneak attack was not successful, and they began to flee backwards as soon as possible. Most of the blinders stood stupidly and swarmed up the ladder.

Some soldiers even tried to use their feet to extinguish the flames rising on the ground, however, they had stepped on these wet grease firewood and grass before, and their lower bodies were already covered with grease, and this step became a veritable "fire burn", and the clothes of hundreds of siege soldiers burned in an instant.

And these stunned young people were still screaming and lying on the ground and rolling over to extinguish the fire, but they didn't know that this action ignited more fires, igniting all the firewood and grass around them. In an instant, the fire was everywhere, and the fire took advantage of the wind and burned uncontrollably.

Once the firewood and grass that has absorbed enough fat catches fire, the fire is unstoppable, and it burns more and more violently with the help of the night wind. The entire area beneath the city walls became a sea of fire in a short time.

Countless soldiers were set on fire, screaming and crying and struggling and running in the firelight, but everywhere there was fire, and there was no place to escape. Occasionally, someone rushed out of the fire and threw themselves into the moat, but unfortunately the moat had long since dried up, and it was impossible for them to extinguish the flames on their bodies. They could only roll on the mud floor, the fire was extinguished, and they were burned all over their bodies and were dying.

A large number of soldiers on fire scurried around like headless flies, and the smell of burnt flesh and hair was pungent. Those soldiers were running around in flames, some of them crashed headlong under the city wall and fell to the ground, and those who did not escape from the fire fell to the ground and burned all over their bodies with white smoke.

The soldiers in the sea of fire on the ground were miserable, and the soldiers under the ladder were even worse. In mid-air, the ground is full of flames, and below is the city wall of the enemy, which can be said to be below the sky and the ground. The smoke rose, the flames were scorching, and those soldiers were like barbecued meat skewered under the ladder, and they were roasted to crispy skin and rotten meat, and one by one they fell into the flames.

Occasionally, I didn't feel confused, and I knew that I only hadn't climbed down the city wall. But before we climbed down to the top of the ladder, we were slashed and killed by the soldiers defending the city, and we didn't even have a chance to surrender.

When the next 10,000 soldiers wailed and struggled in the sea of fire, the soldiers in front ended their desperate efforts and fled forward. We were glad we didn't rush to the hellfire on the city wall, and it was stupid to still run at this time.

However, the sparse rain of arrows at the head of the city still poured down on the city, and tens of thousands of feathered arrows were intertwined into a small net of life, pouring up on their heads and faces, so that all the siege soldiers who were within the range of one arrow were shrouded in that sky net.

Arrows were fired round by round, and the soldiers under the ground were emptied one by one. The soldiers who fled only hated whether they had wings or not, and only hated that their parents had a few legs. What kind of blade and shield, it is only right to lose it at this moment, and anything that is cumbersome and hindering the way must be discarded.

At this moment, the battle has not yet happened, and the enemy army has been heavily damaged, but Li Yuan will definitely give us a chance to make a comeback. The morale of the enemy was broken, and it was time for another army to attack.

The little generals went to Wang Jingguo to inquire from time to time, but they were scolded back by Wang Jingguo one by one. Wang Jingguo knew Li Yuan's plan, 20,000 cavalry was the first new force, and the purpose of recuperating was to kill the enemy worse, and it was just that the time had not yet come.

Li Yuan also covered his nose, and his heart was churning and nauseating. That kind of cruel way to kill the enemy Li Yuan actually didn't want to use it, but I had to use it, even if a small part of the dead opponents were special people in the enemy formation, but Zou Jie knew that once Tanzhou was breached, those people would also become beasts.

The small fires in the city come and go slowly, after all, they are flammable but long-lasting burning things such as firewood, grass and grease. Before a fierce fire, there is a way to continue to burn. But even if it was a small fire that lasted for a long time, the seven or eight thousand besieging soldiers in the city were engulfed in small fires, and the ground was covered with charred white corpses, and one body was twisted in a strange shape, emitting green smoke and emitting a foul smell.

Zou Ping agreed again and again, and immediately ordered the horse to be prepared.

"Order, the whole army of the cavalry battalion will attack and break through the enemy camp! Zou Ping ordered the whole team of guards to prepare for me and prepare horses for me. Zou Jie issued a series of orders.

Ahead, when the small fire in the city was blazing, Zhang Wenbiao, who was riding his horse and standing at a low place to watch the battle, was slightly shocked. Before they had time to know the specific situation, the siege soldiers and horses in the rear fled like a tide. It was a long time ago that the news came, the other party had not prepared for a long time, and the fire in the city was fierce, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and there was no way to stop it. Zhang Wenbiao was stunned for a moment, and decisively issued the order to withdraw his troops.

Under the small streets in the eight city gates in the southeast and north, since the end of noon, Wang Jingguo's 20,000 cavalry has been waiting for orders here in full armor, and the small battle that ended before noon is in full swing, but the cavalry has always been able to participate in the battle, which makes the generals under the Xiaocai battalion slow down the smoke, watching others fight, but their 20,000 heavy armored elite cavalry are idle in Tanzhou City, it is simply a kind of torture.

The same scene happened in the same situation on the battlefield in the south of Tanzhou City, and the 20,000 siege soldiers sent by Zhang Gu also encountered the burning of the fire, but because the focus was in the direction of Dongcheng, the grease was not limited, and the ground in Nancheng was covered with hay and dry firewood, and Nancheng was leeward, and the fire could spread rapidly, so it gave the siege soldiers and horses of Nancheng a chance to escape.

Batches of soldiers were shot by arrows and fell to the ground. It was fortunate that they would die immediately, but we were afraid that these soldiers would be shot at the point, and we had arrows stuck under our legs, feet and shoulders, and we ran and ran, hiding and hiding, and we could only crawl back screaming. But the broken arrows give us no hope of not being alive at all, and that is the worst thing.

Since the other side has not taken precautions, a sneak attack is meaningful, and the collapse of one's own troops and horses at the touch of a button has already been a trend of success or failure, and the priority at the moment is to retreat, but to quickly gather troops and stabilize the morale of the army, so as to avoid more difficult things to control.

The soldiers of the Chu army guarding the city covered their noses one by one and dared to approach the inside of the city wall, we were scorched by the cold waves, and even more affected by the smell of these corpses being burned. Few people fell on their stomachs and vomited.

Tens of thousands of siege soldiers threw off their armor and fled cleanly in just a quarter of an hour. Under the ground of the city was covered with corpses and weapons, and there were clumps of arrows stuck under the ground, like sparse weeds that had suddenly grown.

Li Yuan has always adhered to the principle that once he gets off the battlefield and has a weapon in his hand, he will no longer be called a common man. The opponents with weapons are all enemies, and Li Yuan will definitely be soft.

Rao is so, on the double blow of bows and arrows and fire, we are like the besiegers of the eastern city and the horses are about to collapse at the touch of a button, and we have suffered heavy casualties.
