Chapter 307: Arsonist
In any case, the most difficult part was carried over, and Philip did not intend to do it again, and it seemed that there was no need to be so exaggerated to deal with ordinary steppe wolf cowards.
He opened Pandora's box today, allowing everyone in this world to see the horror of this devil.
It was just a small change in thinking that had such a shocking effect.
He didn't want the steppe people to learn this, otherwise with their huge military strength and massive number of air knights, sooner or later they would have a devastating impact on the Wardsman Empire, especially the three major military cities.
For the sake of secrecy, he will never let go of any of the steppe people below, not a single captive.
Daxun Mingge of the Southern Prairie looked at the hellish scene in the distance, and then looked at the crooked figure in the sky, and his teeth were about to be crushed.
The most elite Axun army under his command, he was able to settle down and fight against several other Daxun, and completely turned into the dust of history in the earth-shattering explosion just now.
Although there were still two or three thousand people left, what was the use, this number of people could not shake the tall city wall at all.
Originally, because he was connected to the Wardsmann Empire all the year round, his strength was the worst among the four steppe people, and the number of elite Ah Xun was also the smallest.
No matter how much resentment and regret it is, it's too late, and now he has only one way to go.
So far, Ward will not give him a chance to turn back and open up the mountain pass, and he does not have this confidence.
Since both sides have been defeated, what is competing from now on is will, even if only 100,000 wolf riders enter the pass, it will make the Ward Guy anxious and trigger countless chain reactions on several other fronts.
There are many people in the grassland, so let's continue to consume.
After thinking everything through, Mingge sent the only remaining Ah Xun regiment under his command, as well as his two fifth-level and ten fourth-level iron guards, and the rear defense troops did not move, and the other troops launched a general attack on the opposite side without stopping around the clock.
Philip didn't bother to talk to his father, and set out on the return voyage with more oil, even a little too hasty, and didn't even have time to share the good news of Bruce's survival.
However, now everyone doesn't care about this little thing, and the defensive battle of the southern defense line, which has lasted for more than half a month, has reached its climax from now on.
A little accident happened when he flew up with his net from a farther distance, and the offensive of the whole steppe people came to a spontaneous halt.
Even the commanders with the strongest fighting spirit did not urge their subordinates, but watched the floating net in the sky move little by little.
It wasn't until he flew south from the outskirts that he resumed his attack.
Since then, the net pocket has become famous, and its deterrent power is great, which can be seen from this.
At the same time, Matthew also selected 30 Awakened Ones above the second level from the Gaoshan Clan's big men and his subordinates, specifically to deal with the raids of the high-level warriors of the Prairie People.
Even if such a transfer would damage the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops, the conscious Matthew still stubbornly did so.
As hindsight turned out, he was right to do so.
The offensive on the southern front continued, and Philip, who had promised to return soon, was nowhere to be seen, leaving everyone sweating and not knowing what was wrong.
Especially the loud noise just now, even they could hear it clearly, and even the shaking of the earth.
It's a pity that both sides of the battle hesitated, otherwise they might be able to achieve quite good results by seizing this opportunity.
Just when the warriors of the Ryu Bo clan became more and more impatient, the sharp-eyed man suddenly noticed a small black dot in the sky.
The black dot grew larger and larger, only to find that it was composed of three parts, two silver unicorns, and a large net bag hanging underneath.
Although Bruce and Chander didn't know what it was, it didn't prevent them from guessing that it had something to do with the loud bang just now.
However, this time Philip will not carry out another earth-shattering explosion, not to mention the issue of secrecy, even if he does it, the violently burning explosion center will block the attack of his own people, so that the steppe people have enough time to refill the vacant position.
So he played a lot smaller this time, not so much killing as harassment.
Instead of using the small oil tanks, he directly installed more than a dozen standard oil storage tanks, each of which was like a small water tank.
Flying 500 meters above the steppe man, he tied the safety rope and stood again in the net pocket, picked out the top one, opened the seal, and stuffed the end of the rope made of cotton cloth into it.
Then he lit the end of the rope, picked a more pleasing one and threw it down.
The steppe people here have not yet seen the power of incendiary bombs, but it is not difficult to guess that this is certainly not a good thing, and they have raised arrows and shot arrows.
There are many good archers among the steppe people, so despite Philip's great throw, in just a few seconds of landing, the tank was hit by at least three arrows.
Two of them were bounced off by the thick tank, but the last one exploded from the bottom almost vertically about ten meters above the ground.
Philip has to thank this brave steppe man, otherwise this incendiary bomb will fall directly to the ground, and it will definitely not be able to exert such great power, especially the deterrent effect brought by the follow-up.
After the tank shattered, the oil inside was scattered and splashed, and then ignited by the tampon, which exploded.
It's just that the power of this explosion is not great, and it does not directly affect the crowd.
Before the steppe people below had time to cheer, they found themselves covered in a yellow-green rain of fire within a radius of more than twenty meters above their heads, and their heads were covered with them.
At this moment, they finally knew what was in the black jar, and the horror from their souls made them want to flee in all directions.
But unfortunately, they were also surrounded by dense crowds, leaving no room for them to escape, and time did not allow.
When the rain of fire poured over the heads of the crowd, it had already spread to a radius of fifty meters, and in an instant, hundreds of grassland people turned into burning fire people, not counting those around who were only stained with a little flame, and were flapping in horror.
This is just the beginning.
Philip did not stop after throwing the first jar, but threw five in turn about a hundred meters behind the steppe people's line.
Three of them were blasted by the brave steppe warriors, one was too hard and fell directly to the ground, and the last one didn't pay attention to it because he saw the catastrophic consequences, just desperately dodging away from the landing place.
The left half of the defensive position, which reached a kilometer wide on the frontal battlefield, formed a belt of fire fifty meters wide, which was not coherent, but because of the frightened evasion, it was now completely crowded together and chaotic.
In terms of pure tactical literacy, Bruce is even better than Philip, especially this kind of face-to-face attack, which has always been his favorite.
At this time, he decisively seized the opportunity, led his beloved forty bearded men, and rushed forward with a roar.
Then there were the likes of Chand, Victor and Johnson, who were a little slower.
Paul also followed Bruce, and Philip whispered before leaving, telling him to protect his cousin in the rest of the battle.
The lethality of the incendiary bombs used in dispersion is not so terrifying, but this kind of panic that cannot be resisted like a natural enemy brings a powerful deterrent.
The steppe people in the back retreated, and the steppe people in front crowded forward, and in the blink of an eye, they were cut off from the rear formation, and the originally tight formation was chaotic.
Captain Ten Thousand and Thousand Commanders roared hoarsely, hoping to control the formation, but this situation could not be avoided even by the well-trained Wardsmann Empire soldiers, let alone a group of half-nomadic and half-military steppe people.
When they realized that the Ward Guy on the other side had begun to charge, before they could react, a dense rain of arrows had pierced through their thin and small bodies and pinned them to the ground.
This is the work of the girls of the Maga Regiment, who have long been tacitly acquiescing, and the whole three rounds of salvo fire have overgrown the defensive position of the steppe people with a forest of arrows.
The steppe people who were lucky enough to survive remembered that in the confusion they had forgotten to lift the giant shield made of wood.
By the time they scrambled to find the Shield, it was too late.
Bruce wasn't the fastest, and it wasn't until then that he realized that he hadn't asked his cousin to find them a few mounts in a hurry, so he was a little angry when he looked at the figures that kept running from him to the front.
But in just a few hundred meters, no matter how slow it is, it can be reached.
He flew a wooden arrow and brandished the legendary axe his father had given him, and in one fell swoop smashed the horses that stood in his way and scattered them all over the place.
And then the next, and then the next.
The armor on his body is also specially made, as long as it is not those thick crossbow guns, or wooden arrows that happen to shoot around the eye socket, there is no need to dodge at all, like a humanoid tank.
The twenty siege crossbows placed in front of the steppe people's defense line had been destroyed in the early attack and defense, and now the remaining half, although still complete, did not have enough manpower to operate them.
for they had fallen to the ground, and their bodies were covered with long arrows.
In this way, the Chinese army and the personal guards, plus more than forty bearded men, and nearly a thousand Ward men in armor, broke through the positions of the steppe people without suffering much loss.
In this way, a dozen rows of rejected horses were cut into wooden blocks by them, and even thrown into the formation of the steppe people as javelins.
Of course, this is limited to the left half of the battlefield, and the right half of the battlefield is also suppressed to the point where it cannot raise its head.
The female warriors of the 2nd and 3rd Maga regiments roared past 300 meters in front of the position, splashing arrows here as they ran, a bit like a classic move in the Three Kingdoms game.
When the Maga regiment passed, the hurried Lunbo regiment took up the position, taking advantage of the slightly farther range advantage to continuously put pressure on the opposite side.
At this time, Bruce and the others had already collided head-on with the steppe people and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
The two sides collided with each other's bodies, and each could see each other's fierce eyes and smell the strong smell of sweat on each other's bodies.
