C88 (2/2)
Chen Chu said that since it's like this, I will help you. After saying that, he left, and when he returned again, he brought back ten to twenty Moqiu Soldier's corpses. He tied these corpses with the hemp rope that was used to soak the kerosene and stuffed them into the rattan basket that was used to store the stones. He said that as long as he threw this out, the Moqiu Army would definitely come.
The two of them thought that it was a good idea, but it had troubled the group of people's militia soldiers. But the two officials in front of him were so tall that even the Phoenix City Border Army officers beside them did not dare to make a sound, let alone them who had the people's militia. Helpless, he could only force himself to put the corpses into the wicker baskets, and then gather all sorts of disgusting things according to Qu Feizhi's instructions. When the stone thrower began to activate, other than one person who was too relaxed, the rest of the people took turns to puke out last night's dinner and breakfast.
However, they had to admit that Chen Chu's move was effective. The broken body incited the anger of the Moqiu Soldier, and they intentionally focused their attacks on Qu Feizhi. Qu Feizhi did not stay idle either, ordering the people's militia soldiers to throw in all kinds of items. After throwing it, the Moqiu Soldier was indeed a little messy, but Chen Chu's prediction had come true. Other than the white phosphorus and kerosene being of some use, the other things were disgusting, and had insufficient killing power. Chen Chu rolled his eyes at Qu Feizhi who was scratching his head, then rushed out while holding his helmet.
After a while, Chen Chu rushed out of the city gate with his subordinate Apprentice Knight. The Fire Phoenix Expeditionary Army Knights, who had wreaked havoc on the Moqiu a few months ago, had displayed the terrifying scene that they had brought to the Profound Practitioners back then in front of the Moqiu Soldier at the front lines.
Although they didn't have the strong defensive power brought by the heavy armor, they were still able to escape the sluggishness brought by the terrifying weight. Using Chen Chu's words, if you can't hit me, then you will be beaten by me; if I can't kill you with a single slash, then I will kill you with 10 blades and 20 blades!
Although in terms of visual effects, this group of Apprentice Knight that Chen Chu had brought out far surpassed the shock of the heavy cavalry attack that they had received yesterday, and there were even some Moqiu Soldier s who did not know that a group of Fire Phoenix Knight had rushed out, the effect was still extremely strong.
This group of Apprentice Knight were already used to fighting using the Moqiu, they continuously shot out handheld crossbow s, creating a path for themselves in the chaotic army, then they picked out the kerosene tank s that were hung under the saddle and smashed them out, one by one, onto the bodies of the Moqiu Soldier people, and one by one, the kerosene tank s were smashed out, onto the bodies of four or five Moqiu Soldier s.
Chen Chu and the rest did not go too deep, they had just killed their way into the enemy lines for less than a hundred and fifty meters before they quickly turned, drawing a half circle before they swiftly returned to their Phoenix City Pass. Before he entered the stage, Chen Chu turned the blade in his hand, and the Apprentice Knight behind him all raised up their handheld crossbow s. They lit the tip of their bolt's arrows, and then shot them into the crowd.
The half circle they drew had surrounded thousands of Moqiu Soldier and kerosene were scattered all over the place. One man was on fire, and the surrounding area was on fire. Those who were completely covered in kerosene s were burnt and rolled on the ground, while those who had flames on them were madly running with their lives on the line, looking everywhere for life. But because of this, the kerosene, triangular-shaped nail and iron tribulations that Qu Feizhi threw down had a second effect, causing many of the Moqiu Soldier s to be implicated.
Qu Feizhi was not stupid. Once he saw the fire start, he immediately ordered the people's militia soldiers to throw down the kerosene s, white phosphorus s, and cow dung as if it was raining. In a short period of time, the flames burned the empty ground beneath the city to a miserable state, and the Moqiu Army was forced to retreat continuously.
When the soldiers of the forward army finally escaped from the fire zone, the attacks from the stone thrower on the other side of the Phoenix City Pass had also started. These stone thrower were all shooting genuine stones, allowing Moqiu Soldier to experience what a stone thrower really was.
At this time, Chen Chu led his light knights and once again appeared in front of the Moqiu Soldier. Only, this time, they did not charge forward. Chen Chu rode on his own as he faced Moqiu Army. Behind him, the Knights used ropes to tie up Moqiu Soldier's corpses one after another before dragging them back into the city. After a while, the sound of the stone thrower's springs could be heard, and one after another corpse fell from the sky, smashing right in front of Moqiu Soldier.
This time, all the Moqiu Soldier s crumbled. The demon from before, was him!
In that instant, countless soldiers remembered Chen Chu's appearance just now. That young officer was riding on his own on the other side of the sea of fire with a long blade in his hand. He was wearing a set of armor filled with blood and minced meat. Under the dark red blood, his skin was especially white. The pair of emotionless eyes on his face gave off a chilling killing intent, as if his soul would disappear if he looked at them.
”Death God! He is Death! ”
More and more soldiers began repeating this line, starting from the mutterings of a few soldiers. A few breaths later, Moqiu Army's vanguard army exploded. Thousands of soldiers frantically ran to the back. Some even threw away the scimitars and shields in their hands. It was as though demons and fiends were chasing after them from behind.
At this time, Chen Chu had already returned to the pass. As he returned the helmet that was drenched in sweat to the soldiers beside him, he said to Qu Feizhi, ”Lord Kong should also know what to do now, right?”
Qu Feizhi chuckled: ”Seeing that he's not here to kidnap us, that means he's busy right now.”
This time Qu Feizhi was right.
Seeing that the Moqiu Army Legion was in chaos, Kong Sheng did not hesitate to give the order, ”Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms, Assault!”
In order to save time, the Phoenix City Pass had rarely been seen before it opened the main gate. Under Ling Zilu's lead, several hundred Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms s came out from the main gate.
The front line of the Black Cove escaped even faster, so fast that they didn't even dare to look back to see how many pursuers there were. They were soldiers, and they weren't afraid of death, but they were afraid that their corpses would be used as weapons or ammunition to attack their comrades. Qu Feizhi's fair face, cold eyes, and blood-stained armor became the shadows and nightmares of many Moqiu Soldier.
At the beginning, when some of the soldiers dropped their weapons and fled, the forward army officers could still lead their guards to maintain their position by chopping down a few leading deserters to stabilize their position. But when the Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms soldiers assumed the posture of a joint charge, the officers could not hold on any longer. Therefore, the soldiers also ran, and the humans also ran horses, it became a deserter race, it all depended on who ran faster.
Therefore, a rare scene appeared under the Phoenix City Pass. Several tens of thousands of soldiers were running for their lives, yet there were only a few hundreds of heavy riders chasing after them.
With the vanguard army in a state of chaos, the following vanguard troops were also in trouble. Their supervising team of only one to two hundred soldiers was unable to withstand the onslaught of so many soldiers. Some of the officers, in order to run for their lives, immediately pointed their knives at the supervising team. Naturally, the supervising team wasn't easy to deal with either. The two sides drew their blades and faced each other. The soldiers had originally disagreed with the supervising team, but now that they saw their superior being humiliated, they were displeased. With a whoosh, the supervising team was thrown into disarray, charging straight into the army formation.
Fortunately, the military officers of the Mo Qiu follow-up army were relatively calm. Without hesitation, he sent a message to the Tiger King's camp in the rear. After receiving a positive reply, he immediately called for reinforcements.
Seeing that the opponent had withdrawn their troops, Kong Sheng immediately ordered his Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms to be turned back. Don't chase after a desperate enemy, and this time he had already beheaded over a thousand of his enemies. This was a huge advantage, and he couldn't afford to be insatiable.
After the troops were withdrawn, Moqiu State did not use any more troops. Thinking about it, he wanted to berate the soldiers who were frantically running away, as he would have to chop off tens or even hundreds of heads.
Thus, the life and death battle on the second day ended for no reason at all in just a few hours. There were even some soldiers and civilians of Phoenix City Pass who were unclear about what had happened, but the soldiers of the Moqiu Army Legion were firmly memorized by the appearance in the sea of flames. Later on, someone found out the name of the high-ranking officer through various channels. The soldiers immediately added the name of the god of death to his name.
Death God Chen Chu.
