From the very beginning, the battle between the scouts of the Changying Army and the scouts of the island country finally entered the state of battle between the large army.

However, after nearly a month of fighting, the confrontation between the main forces of the two sides had just begun, and when there were no variables, the Tang army's military formation began to retreat as a whole!

To be honest, Sakagami didn't know what the Tang army was going to do, but he understood that when things were abnormal, he was a demon, and such an abnormal behavior of the Tang army made Sakaueda Jun Maro, the general of the island country, feel a huge crisis.

What's more, at this moment, all the soldiers and horses of the island country have started a frantic attack according to their own orders, and it is no longer realistic to want to withdraw.

In order to strive for the final victory miracle, he had to go into battle in person, ready to personally lead the strongest hole cards of the island people for the final attack.

It's just that just when Sakagami was getting ready to lead the island heavy infantry of more than 1,000 people to move, a cannon sound came from the battle formation of the Tang army.

Then, a blazing fireball flew out of the Tang Army's military formation!

From the Tang Army in defense to the Japanese soldiers in the attack, on the entire battlefield, everyone's attention seemed to be attracted by this ordinary-looking fireball, so that the entire battlefield was stagnant for a moment.

Under everyone's gaze, this fireball, which looked extremely abrupt, flew straight towards the soldiers of the island nation who were crowded together and frantically advancing forward.

However, the fireball did not fall directly into the dense crowd of soldiers of the island nation, and just before it landed, less than two feet from the ground, the huge fireball that was burning suddenly exploded.

With the fire caused by the explosion and the loud sound from the explosion, the huge fireball disintegrated in the air, and in an instant, it turned into countless incendiary objects that shone with light and flames.

These burning objects that shone with light and flames, under the tremendous impact of the explosion, splattered around, enveloping all the soldiers of the island nation within a radius of nearly ten feet.

The incendiary substance, which was made of black powder and icing sugar, instantly burned through the clothes and light armor of these island people, and then adhered to the body of the island people.

Unable to bear the burning flames, the islanders tried to extinguish the flames with their hands, but the moment their hands touched the flames, they were shocked to find that their actions not only did not extinguish the flames on their bodies, but instead allowed their hands to be consumed by the flames.

This also means that the flames on their bodies seem to be impossible to extinguish, and these lit creatures cry and struggle weakly, and roll, but all this is powerless to stop the flames from spreading wildly and mercilessly on their bodies, and they watch themselves be burned to death by the flames on their bodies.

Gradually, the flames penetrated from the hair, skin, flesh and even bones, and in just a few dozen breaths, these guys ignited by the black powder with frosting had turned into one burning living person after another.

Screams and wails arose from the great pain of the flames......

However, this was only the beginning, only a dozen breaths after the first fireball appeared, and the ignited incendiary bombs were thrown out of the catapults of the Long Silk Army one after another, flying into the dense battle array of the island nation.

In the eyes of the islanders, these ignited incendiary bombs flew towards them like a talisman.

However, due to the lack of meticulous processing of raw materials and the insufficient number of tests, not every incendiary bomb can explode in the air at an ideal height between one and two feet from the ground.

A considerable number of incendiary bombs exploded directly at the stage of parabolic ascent, greatly expanding the scope and killing radius of their explosion and sputtering.

There are also some of them that are as stable as Mount Tai in the flight stage, and they do not explode until they fall to the ground, and although their killing radius is greatly reduced, the lethality of the island soldiers within the killing radius is greatly increased.

At the moment of the explosion on the ground, the soldiers of the island country, who had no time to dodge near the explosion point, were soaked in a large amount of black powder mixed with icing sugar in an instant, and turned into one fire man after another.

Compared to the effect of the volley explosion, the area of burns and the duration of the burns suffered by these guys

The degree of suffering increases dramatically, and the degree of suffering increases exponentially.

However, compared to those who were burned to death little by little in pain, these guys still had physical strength when they turned into fire people, which means that the secondary damage they can bring is far from comparable to the former.

Under the unimaginable pain and torture, these guys, who turned into burning men in an instant, began to struggle frantically, desperately begging for help.

These guys are like drowning people trying to grasp every straw, trying to grab everyone they can touch, as if they can get themselves out of the misery.

However, instead of saving themselves, their actions spread the flames burning in their bodies to others, spreading pain and death while also causing a wider panic.

In short, in a short period of more than 100 breaths, under the attack of more than 100 incendiary bombs, the arc-shaped range of about 300 paces of the contact line between the two sides was almost reduced to a sea of fire, and the soldiers of the nearly 10,000 island countries who rushed to the front were directly enveloped in the scope of the sea of fire.

It's just that the generals and colonels of the Changying Army have planned a plan for a long time, and naturally there will be no only catapults, and Lu Xiaobing's goal is not only the islanders within 300 steps.

The weight of the ammunition projected by the catapult can exceed 100 catties, and the caliber represents justice, so the weight of the incendiary bombs it can fire represents an equally high justice index.

However, catapults are not without their drawbacks.

Even after many improvements, the catapult that only relies on the simple lever principle to launch the catapult is still less reliable, the accuracy is insufficient, and the range is relatively close, these problems are not too much impact when firing stone bullets, but when the fire is changed from stone and mud bombs to incendiary bombs, it becomes extremely dangerous.

So much so that even when the Changying Army itself was in use, the heavy infantry at the front had to retreat in advance, so as to reserve a relatively safe distance to prevent themselves from being accidentally injured by those incendiary bombs that exploded in advance.

After all, the taste of incendiary bombs no one wants to try.

Compared with the catapult, which has a shorter range, lower accuracy, and relatively insufficient reliability, the eight-bull crossbow with a spring, an improved winch, and an adjustable angle after adding a base is the most important long-range weapon of the Changying Army.

Compared with the catapult in the projectile mode, although the eight-bull crossbow in the shooting mode cannot fire dozens or even hundreds of pounds of large incendiary bombs at one time like the catapult, it does not mean that it cannot be used.

In fact, the masters of gunpowder in the Changying Army played two routines in an experimental mode without actual combat.

Some people chose to hang a smaller version of the incendiary bomb with a rope behind the arrows of the Eight Ox crossbows, and after igniting them, the arrows were fired in the shortest possible time.

The other people directly used the crossbow bolt as a blasting canister, and wrapped a thick layer of frosted black powder around the crossbow without affecting the shooting of the Eight Bull crossbow.

It is also to fire the crossbow bolt as quickly as possible after lighting the fuse.

In fact, neither of these methods achieved the effect that the gunpowder men hoped to achieve, that is, explode after landing on the ground or close to the ground.

After all, the range of the crossbow arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbow reached up to three miles, and the increase in range led to a longer flight time.

In addition, when flying in the air, the fuse will burn faster due to air resistance and other reasons, which means that even if they have increased the length of the fuse, most of the crossbow arrows equipped with black powder have been ignited or exploded in the air.

It's just that even Xiao Junpeng and other designers didn't expect that their seemingly failed design would have an unexpected effect on today's battlefield.

The crossbow bolts that were taken over in the air inadvertently formed a random rain of flames within the range of the eight-bull crossbow.

Although it cannot be compared with the heavy incendiary bombs projected by catapults in terms of lethal power, the immediate fire rain formed by the massive crossbow bolts really shrouded the soldiers and horses of the island countries in terror and panic.

After all

Seeing the tragic situation of his companion after being ignited by this flame, no one did not feel fear.

Under the unrestrained projection of catapults and crossbows, the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the island nation besieging Changying's army were shrouded in black powder and incendiary bombs.

Under the nest, Ann has finished his eggs, and the location of Sakagami and the more than 1,000 heavy infantry of the island country he has integrated will naturally not escape the catastrophe.

Although I didn't know that Sakagami was ready to use the heavy infantry as the last force to fight for his life, from the time the heavy infantry of more than 1,000 people appeared, he had been targeted by Xiao Junpeng.

In Lu Xiaobing's plan, the frontal defense line was the center of the battlefield, and the purpose of the cavalry and light infantry attack was also to squeeze the islanders from the north and south to the center as much as possible, so that the islanders could enjoy the baptism of incendiary bombs.

Under Xiao Junpeng's deliberate arrangement, the heavy infantry of the island country that Sakagami and Li Shidao had painstakingly accumulated were naturally taken care of.

More than thirty incendiary bombs directly enveloped the location of the island country's heavy infantry in a sea of fire.

Compared to other island infantry soldiers who have no armor or are only equipped with light armor, these island country heavy infantry with iron armor like canned food are lucky.

Because even an incendiary bomb with frosting could not burn through their iron armor, let alone burn their skin, they did not have to endure the pain of being burned alive.

However, they are in some ways the most unfortunate.

After mixing the frosting, the adhesion is greatly increased, so that the flame can adhere to the surface of the heavy armor, causing the steel to burn.

It's just that under the high temperature burning, the iron armor on the bodies of these heavy infantry was quickly heated and quickly became hot.

However, the equipment worn by these unlucky children was no different from that worn by the heavy infantry of the Tang Army, with chain mail on the inside and heavy iron armor on the outside.

This configuration provided them with a strong defense, but without the help of others, even the heavy infantry of the Changying Army would not be able to put on and take off on their own, let alone these islanders who had already been set on fire.

Under the raging flames, these heavy armors that were supposed to protect them turned into hot living coffins at this moment!

Compared to his subordinates, Sakagami was lucky.

In order to lead the attack, Sakagami himself went down, but he was lucky to avoid dozens of incendiary bombs at the forefront of the heavy infantry battle formation.

It's just that this luck has become a source of pain for him.

Looking at the heavy infantry of the island country caught in the sea of fire, Sakagami's heart was like ashes, although he was in the middle of the battlefield and could not grasp the whole picture of the battlefield, but he knew that he had lost, completely lost.

In a sense, living has become a torture for Sakagami, and death may be a real relief.

However, ants are still greedy, let alone Sakagami......

Sakagami, who is deeply trapped in the battlefield, does not know the overall scene, but Yuansheng, who remains on the head of Wendeng Castle, can clearly see the whole picture of the battlefield.

Yuan Sheng could clearly see the blazing fireballs and rockets shooting out of the Tang Army's military formation all the time, turning the soldiers of the island country who were crowded together because of the attack into one living person after another.

More soldiers of the island nation who were not ignited began to struggle and flee frantically, in order to escape for their lives, in order to win a glimmer of life that almost did not exist, they did not hesitate to raise butcher knives for their comrades......

Half an hour ago, the warriors of the island country, who were still charging frantically and besieging the Tang army, have now become lost dogs, the glory of the island country, the glory of the family, and the rich rewards have all been left behind, and survival and survival have occupied their minds.

However, Yuansheng knew that for them, this humble idea had become a luxury!

Because while the Tang army was using the kind of firearms that he had never heard of, a large number of cavalry had already outflanked the Tang army from the rear of the battle formation in the north and south directions.

However, the purpose of the outflanking was not simply to kill, but to try to drive the remnants of the island nation who tried to flee in the north and south directions after the collapse from west to east, and continue to enjoy the torture of the flames.

After these cavalry assaults, a large group of swordsmen and shield-wielding soldiers continued to drive along the path of the cavalry, but as they drove away, they began to kill the soldiers of the island nation, who had fallen into complete confusion and disorganization.

Finally stopped the use of firearms, and the heavy infantry of the Tang Army began to advance in formation, and behind them, a large number of other soldiers and horses were rushing forward frantically through the gap reserved between them, and began to frantically harvest the lives of the soldiers of the island country.

Even if Yuan Sheng knew almost nothing about military affairs, he could see that the army of the island nation had in fact completely collapsed.
