C3 (2/2)
A moment later, flames started to rise from the broken big vat. The ground was filled with Devil Kingdom Soldier s and the fire burned their bodies and faces. All the people below the city walls were screaming in terror. The soldier whose body was on fire ran around in panic, hoping that his comrades would help him extinguish the fire, but the fire itself was made from oil, it was not easy to extinguish. On the contrary, the fire was ignited more and more as he moved back and forth and threw himself into the fire. The light infantry in cloth armour were fine, at least they could run, jump, roll around and extinguish the fire. The heavily armored heavy infantry was unlucky. At this moment, his metal armor had turned into a hot pot that couldn't be removed, flung aside, or run away. He couldn't even kill himself, and could only moan miserably in despair.
Just in terms of lethality, this flame was more than a hundred times stronger than the one Kong Sheng had just used!
At the same time, Kong Sheng, who had already entered West Small Gate, led his Fire Phoenix Army and once again rushed forward, piercing straight into the siege soldiers. Their goal this time was very clear, it was to take advantage of their chaos to take their lives! Using the horse's speed to stab the steel spear, Kong Sheng immediately changed his blade from his spear to his blade. His shining long blade danced like a ball of snow, every swing bringing with it a pool of blood.
Under the lead of the main general, over a hundred Knights of Fire Phoenix Army worked together, slashing with spears, stabbing with sabers, and even kicking their horses.
At this time, reinforcements had already come from both sides as they surrounded them, and the fire line in the middle had already been extinguished. The Devil Kingdom Soldier s below the city walls no longer looked anxious, they started to retreat under the order of the officers, hoping to leave the sea of fire before starting the battle anew. If they waited for these two to meet, then the fate of these hundred plus heavy-armored knight s would only be one!
Kong Sheng threw away the blade in his hand, which had been cut open. He let out a whistle from his mouth, and rushed towards the east gate. At his command, the knights did not linger in battle, abandoning the enemy in front of them, and galloped at full speed towards the Little East Gate.
How could the Devil Kingdom Soldier let them escape? handheld crossbow s, pikes, and scimitars rained down upon everyone. Just after this wave, more than a dozen Fire Phoenix Army Knights fell to the ground, their bodies stabbed into the slits of the armor by the Devil Kingdom Soldier s who were rushing towards them, and died on the spot.
Just then, Zhao Handong's reinforcements arrived. On the city wall, a row of soldiers holding bow decked with horn of an animal s stood up, all of them pulling their bows and releasing their arrows, all of their arrows were lit on fire, the rockets had landed on the ground and started to light up the kerosene s that were not ignited previously, creating a wall of fire behind Kong Sheng and the rest, stopping the Devil Kingdom Soldier from surrounding the heavy cavalry, allowing all of the Fire Phoenix Army Knights to escape successfully.
These kerosene were the ”trump cards” that Kong Sheng and referred to. This was a method that Kong Sheng had unintentionally discovered. He mixed a sufficient amount of phosphorous powder into the grease, and when the oil seeped into the ground, the powder would automatically ignite the oil upon contact with the air and ignite the grease again. The oil was already easily flammable, and with the addition of it seeping into the ground, it would be even more difficult to save in a short period of time. If it was ignited on a person's body, it would result in either death or injury.
This method worked quickly and had good effects, but it was extremely difficult to prepare. If one could not master it properly, they would first burn themselves and be injured. In the end, he told Zhao Handong that unless he had no other choice, he would absolutely not use this method.
Previously, when the city was about to fall, the two of them had no choice but to use this item. At the same time, Kong Sheng led his Fire Phoenix Army cavalry to separate themselves, and then Zhao Handong set fire to the ground beneath the city, forcing them to retreat.
When Kong Sheng got off the horse, it was as if he fell. After he took off the heavy armor, all of his clothes were completely drenched. He did not care about anything else and grabbed one of the city guards and asked, ”What's the situation outside the city?”
The soldier knelt on one knee and replied loudly, ”My Lord, the enemy troops have retreated! Congratulations on your unparalleled military exploits! ”
Kong Sheng smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: ”There are only these few kerosene, as long as the Demon Army Commander organizes another attack, this Phoenix City Pass will probably be broken!”
