C14 (2/2)
The ”overly heavy killing” plan that Kong Sheng did not let Qu Feizhi implement was to blast apart the dike, causing the lakeside to collapse and the lakeside to be used to drown out the trenches on the ground outside the Phoenix City Pass. He originally wanted Chen Chu to explode once he went there. Although the water potential was fierce, he could still rely on his outer city wall to support him. But right now, the outer city wall was broken into pieces, so it did not dare to say it was on the verge of collapse, or else it would be impossible to stop such a huge wave of impact. It was only because of this that Kong Sheng allowed everyone to speed up their pace of entering the city.
The Phoenix Lake Dam had been destroyed, and the lake water that had been stored for hundreds of years had found an exit that could be poured out, which they had been searching for for for a long time.
The Moqiu Army outside the city were also panicking. They could not care about attacking the city nor the stone thrower s that littered the ground as they desperately ran towards their own military camp. Especially the light infantry soldiers who were originally waiting in the ditch to attack the city. They did not care about anything else, and together they lifted the giant shield above their heads and jumped out of the ditch. With that, he had caused his comrades on the city walls to suffer. The trench they had worked so hard to dig had become a deadly trap to block their escape, especially the heavy armor soldiers. They were not fast in running and could not jump, all they could do was watch the monstrous waves pouncing towards them with despair.
In the midst of crazy curses, angry curses, and desperate wails, the flood came.
Hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of tons of lake water poured down from the mountainside, and the water, mixed with rocks and giant trees, smashed onto the city walls of the outer city of Phoenix City Pass without any obstruction, making a deafening noise. The dilapidated city walls were on the verge of collapse, and from time to time, it was hard to tell which country's soldiers had been knocked off the walls, falling into the turbulent water. After the flood was stopped by the city walls, it turned around and pounced into the trenches outside the city. Like its accomplices, the crushed rocks and giant trees frantically reaped the lives of those Moqiu Soldier s who could not flee in time or could not return at all.
The heavy armor infantry soldier knelt on the ground in despair, took off his heavy helmet, and mumbled to himself while crying. No one knew what he was talking about. A tree trunk that was as thick as two people had already hit him in the back. That soldier didn't even have the time to scream before he was swept into the flood.
The mighty stone thrower was torn into pieces and turned into an accomplice of the flood, fiercely smashing towards the soldiers who were pushing it forward just now, helping it to fend off the fatal boulder.
It was just that this belated collapse did not attract the cheers of the Moqiu State soldiers. They dodged, screamed, and reached out their hands in despair for anything that could be used to stabilize their bodies. However, all of their efforts were in vain. The city walls that had been attacked by the stone thrower for a long time could no longer withstand the impact of the flood, and like tofu that had been shattered by the giant fist, collapsed, bringing countless Moqiu State soldiers into the embrace of the flood.
The floods that broke through the outer city did not show mercy just because they were citizens of the Fire Phoenix Nation. The soldiers that did not return to the inner city in time suffered, the floods between the two sections of the city walls became turbulent, and sometimes they did not even have time to cry for help before they were swept away by the surging waves, leaving behind only a small whirlpool that disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The city gates of the inner city were already flooded. From his ankles to his knees, it took less than an incense stick's worth of time. Kong Sheng took out his blade from his waist, and placed it horizontally across the neck of the Border Army Guard Captain who was guarding the Inner City gate. With red eyes, he said word by word, ”Close the door! ”Close the door!”
The old captain plopped to his knees in the ice-cold water and pleaded in a sobbing tone, ”My lord, please be merciful! Lord, please be merciful! ”There are still thousands of brothers who haven't come in yet … If we just close the door, they won't be able to survive!”
Kong Sheng took a deep breath, staring at the tears in his eyes, gritting his teeth, he said, ”I know, there are brothers of my Red Camp outside, but if you don't close the door now, after the outer city wall pours and the flood enters, none of us will be able to live!”
The captain of the city gate stood up, crying as he clung to the city gate and shouted, ”Brothers, work harder!” If I count to ten, I will close the city gates! ”Run with all your might ~ ~ ~” The roar was laced with despair and tears.
Kong Sheng could not bear to listen any longer. He let the two guards stay behind as he turned around and rushed up the inner city wall. It just so happened that Zhao Handong came over to look for him, pointed towards the distance and said to him, ”Old Kong, look, more than ten big barrels have come down from the river, what is that?”
Kong Sheng stared at it for a long time before suddenly exclaiming, ”It's the kerosene barrel! Chen Chu, this bastard! He threw the remaining kerosene buckets down! ”
Over ten buckets, each the height of a person, charged out of the water. The outer city walls were smashed into pieces, and the kerosene s flew out from the buckets and floated on the surface of the water, giving off an oily glow. However, in the next moment, an unintentional spark flew past and flames soared into the sky. Water and fire formed a miraculous fusion, vividly displaying the words ”fire and water”, ruthlessly devouring all life that could be seen.
The inner city city gate was actually closed. Hearing the howls and screams from outside the city, Kong Sheng smashed the telescope to pieces and shouted at the guards beside him, ”Wait for Chen Chu to come back, I will skin him alive!”
