"Please wait here, everyone. I'll go and destroy their fire oil first." After Quan Jinghuai finished speaking, he gestured with his eyes for Tianquan to stay here with Commandant Hu and the others.

"Fire-inducing oil?" Upon hearing this, Commander Hu and the others immediately understood and clasped their hands in a fist and said, "Then we'll have to trouble you, Master Quan. Please rest assured, we will protect the young master."

"Master, be careful and stay safe," Tianquan replied obediently.

Quan Jinghuai dismounted and touched the two iron lumps that Hong Xiaoduo had given him before he left. As he used his lightness skill to climb up the mountain pass, he repeated in his mind the steps and precautions that Hong Xiaoduo had told him about using the two iron lumps.

She looked very serious at the time, saying that this thing was very dangerous and very powerful.

It's huge, but just how huge?

She didn't give specifics, so even if Quan Jinghuai wanted to make an estimate, there was no range to refer to.

Anyway, you can't go wrong if you trust her. Besides, you'll see the results with your own eyes after you use it!

"Young Master, actually, there are still your people lurking in the shadows, right?" Commander Hu asked Tianquan in a low voice as he watched Quan Jinghuai use his lightness skill to disappear into the night with a few leaps.

Otherwise, how could he have known that the enemy had dug traps and laid mechanisms ahead, and how could he have been so certain of the distance, given that he had been with them the whole time and never left their sight?

He also knew the three enemy soldiers lying in ambush on the hill, and the total number of enemy soldiers in the valley.

To be honest, when Quan Jinghuai stopped them and told them what had happened, the reason they listened to his advice and believed him was not because they completely trusted him, but mainly because they trusted the general, since the general had never made a mistake in judging people.

"Well..." Tianquan didn't know how to respond.

Although he was puzzled as to how his master knew those things, he subconsciously didn't deny it.

Quan Jinghuai had already silently reached the mountain pass. His martial arts skills were superb, and his night vision and hearing were much better than ordinary people. Therefore, he easily reached the edge of the enemy's camp.

Beside the frontmost row of enemy soldiers, each had a bow with arrowheads wrapped in cotton fletching.

Behind them, there were three iron barrels placed side by side. Quan Jinghuai sniffed them lightly and confirmed that they were indeed kerosene.

This oil is also known as stone oil water. It does not extinguish when it comes into contact with water and the fire becomes even more intense. In war, it is often used in siege and defense battles, or in naval battles to attack enemy ships.

It seems that the enemy's purpose in coming here was not to seize the grain, but to burn it.

To ensure the burning power, arrows were usually soaked in oil with cotton or cotton cloth wrapped around them before being lit and fired.

Quan Jinghuai pulled out a metal lump, then visually estimated the distance between himself and the raging oil. He was still about two meters short of the safe distance Hong Xiaoduo had told him, so he held his breath and stepped back more than three meters before stopping.

Silently aim at the target, pull out the safety pin, and throw it towards the target!

It's rare for that girl to entrust me with such an important task; I absolutely cannot fail.

Quan Jinghuai calmed himself down and followed Hong Xiaoduo's instructions, throwing the iron lump at the three buckets of flammable oil.

He found himself nervous at this moment, despite having spent many years navigating the world and experiencing countless trials and tribulations.

The grenade, thrown with internal force, carried a gust of wind, and the enemy naturally noticed it, watching helplessly as a dark, faintly flashing spark passed overhead.

"Oh no, move it quickly..." By the time a quick-thinking soldier instinctively shouted to warn the soldier closest to the burning oil barrel, it was already too late.

The archers who were preparing to fire arrows heard the warning, turned around, and watched helplessly as it smashed into the rim of the iron barrel in the middle, exploding with a bang, and the huge fireball exploded in all directions.

It really happened in a split second, so fast that there was no time to react. Those closest to the oil drums were blown up without even a scream.

The massive explosion, illuminated by the raging flames of the burning oil balloon, allowed soldiers at the very edge to clearly see the soldiers in front of them being blown to pieces before they were knocked to the ground by the blast. The next moment, screams of agony and pain filled the air, and the stench of blood filled the air through the smoke.

Quan Jinghuai was also extremely shocked. When a wave of air surged over, it was like a hidden weapon coming right in front of him. Even though he reacted in time and dodged, his right cheek was still grazed. He felt a clear pain, and when he raised his hand to touch his fingers, they were sticky and bloody.

Hearing the screams of the enemy soldiers ahead, but no one came over, Quan Jinghuai realized that the blow he had just received was not from the enemy discovering him and using some kind of hidden weapon on him, but rather from something in the blast wave. It could be fragments of the enemy soldiers' shattered weapons, or it could be fragments of rocks that were blown away, or other bush debris.

That iron lump was incredibly powerful! I was careless!

In the smoke, seeing the enemy soldiers who were still able to run, they ignored their wounded comrades' pleas for help and fled for their lives.

Among the chaotic enemy survivors, no orders were heard, indicating that the commander in charge of the operation, even if not killed by the bomb, was either stunned or incapable of giving orders.

At this moment, the people on both sides of the ravine watched the explosion, the fireball, and the enemy soldiers stumbling and falling, their bodies engulfed in flames, and heard their screams. They were all deeply shocked.

"Hold the flanks tight, don't let a single enemy soldier escape, leave the main road open for them," Commander Hu ordered.

After all, there were traps and poisoned arrows they had dug themselves along the way, which the panicked enemy soldiers, eager to escape, could enjoy themselves!
