C3 (1/2)

There were a total of five gates to the Phoenix City gate at the border of the city. The gate in the middle was either not opened personally or not opened during the war, and the main gates were for the east and west. Many people from the Phoenix City had even forgotten that there were two city gates at the corner of the Phoenix City Pass known as the eastern and western small gates respectively.

These two doors were normally used to travel by water and excrement, so they were not opened during the day. Coupled with the fact that the two doors were by the side of the mountain, not many people knew about them. Since the people of this city didn't know much, the enemy knew even less about these two doors. And this time, Kong Sheng was leading the surprise attack precisely using these two city gates.

Fire Phoenix Army flowed out from the east gate in a row, forming a line with the three riders, as though a sharp blade had pierced straight into the camp of the troops behind the enemy lines. The enemy did not expect that within the Phoenix City that they had forcefully withstood for eight days, there would still be such a heavy cavalry, and the number of soldiers on the battlefield was mostly light infantry. To these Knights, whose entire bodies were wrapped in steel plates, ordinary leather armour and cloth armor was nothing but a joke!

This group of Knights were the elites chosen by the empire's layers. Their combat skills were exceptional and well-equipped, and they did not even put the Demonic Beast in their Demonic King Valley in their eyes, let alone this bunch of ordinary humans in front of them. Furthermore, cavalry was originally the nightmare of the infantry, other than those heavy infantry who were dressed in clothes heavier than these heavy cavalry, the rest of the light infantry would just rush up and attack the stone with their eggs!

Fire Phoenix Army burned like a line of fire towards the enemy's rear lines. Following the sound of the horn, the enemy also began to make their preparations. The heavy infantry in front could not move, and could only use the heavy infantry at the back as a reserve to move towards the Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms. At the same time, he ordered the archers to gather quickly, although the crossbows in their hands were useless to these iron fellows, it was still better than nothing, as they could at least fire at their mounts. As long as this lump of iron fell from the horse, he would not be able to get back on his own. It would really be worse than a pheasant waiting to be slaughtered.

Kong Sheng rushed to the front of the line, while thrusting his spear towards Devil Kingdom Soldier who was rushing forward fearlessly, he raised his head to look at the enemy lines behind them, the flags there were already in a mess, there were continuously rows of soldiers moving, creating layers and layers of obstructions in front of him. Just then, someone from behind shouted, ”Lord Kong! The red flag at the top of the city wall moved! ”

Kong Sheng turned his head to look at the city tip of Phoenix City Pass. As expected, there were two red banners waving about. These were his and Zhao Handong's secret signal, and once the flag moved, it meant that the time was right.

Kong Sheng watched as the red flag was waved a few times, then he suddenly raised his left hand. Following the shout, he took the lead to turn the horse around and gallop towards the west. Before the entire row of Fire Phoenix Army changed to the left, he made a big turn right behind Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng continuously ordered, ”Fire! ”Fire!”

Hearing the order, the knights hung their steel spears back onto their saddles, pulled out fist-sized jars from their waists and ruthlessly threw them towards their left and right sides. The jar was only made of rough clay and was not very strong in the first place. With such a forceful smash, it immediately broke into pieces, leaking out oil all over the floor. Not long after stopping for a while, the fat started to spontaneously combust, and one by one the small flames formed a line of fire. The fat was not easy to extinguish, so wherever the Fire Phoenix Army passed, there was a sea of fire.

If the Fire Phoenix Army from before was like a sharp blade piercing towards the enemy's heart, then now that the sharp blade had turned, it became a line of fire. Like a hot knife cutting through butter, it forcibly cut the enemy and the rear part of the formation into two.

After throwing the oil cans in his hands, Kong Sheng picked up his spear once again and pinch the horse's abdomen with his legs, he changed his direction and rushed out of the west small door. They rode out from the east gate and entered from the west gate. They circled the enemy army in a large arc and used a wall of fire to cut them in half.

Even so, Devil Kingdom Soldier did not panic. The rear line continued to press forward, reinforcements coming from the two flanks without fire, and the soldiers at the center of the wall of fire began to pick up the soil on the spot, preparing to extinguish the flames. And at this moment, the sound of drums rang out from the top of the city wall. The soldiers of the Phoenix Army who had been bitterly resisting behind the walls suddenly launched a counterattack, and hundreds of large vats were pushed off the city walls and smashed into the ground.

One of the Devil Kingdom Soldier s subconsciously smelled the liquid that was on her head and her expression instantly changed. She shouted at her companions, ”kerosene! It's the kerosene! ”

That's right, it was the kerosene again.
