With a "poof" sound.
A spark ignited the oil, and then the spark burned fiercely, and in just a few seconds, flames roared up!
At that moment, flames ignited in several places amidst the vast army.
On the vast battlefield, countless sparks burst forth at this moment, and the oil, which could be ignited at any moment, burned completely with flames!
Whether it's a clump, a long line, or burning alone in an open space, the flames rise up, clinging to both movable living things and immovable inanimate objects, releasing their intense heat!
Flames soared into the sky, and the scorching heat dispelled the chill in the air, but Tu Yuanbing's screams grew even louder at this moment!
The battle cries had vanished, leaving only the neighing of warhorses and the screams and howls of soldiers.
Countless people were engulfed in flames, rolling frantically on the ground, but they could not extinguish the flames on their bodies.
A warhorse covered in flames reared up and charged wildly through the cavalry, throwing off soldiers with flames on their backs.
It ran wildly, engulfed in flames.
Some light cavalrymen who had not yet set their horses on fire shouted and tried to get out of the way as it charged towards them, but the warhorse had already crashed into the cavalry.
As they entered, they bumped into one of the cavalrymen who had been splashed with oil. He had been splashed with oil but had not been hit by the falling boulder, so he had not been set on fire.
But now, a warhorse has set the oil ablaze.
His eyes narrowed, and he frantically patted the flames off his body.
But the kerosene, like a maggot clinging to a bone, cannot be easily extinguished once it starts burning.
In the scorching air, he could even smell the stench of burnt hair, which made him even more panicked. At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else, so he quickly took off his armor and began to take off his clothes.
But the moment he touched the armor, the intense heat made him recoil sharply.
Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to endure the burning pain to remove his armor, with a "thud," the warhorse collapsed, its massive body pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to get up.
The flames continued to burn, growing ever stronger.
His screams grew louder and louder.
This scene is much better than those who are hit by boulders.
Some of the boulders falling from the sky struck the crowd directly, and the cavalrymen who were hit by these boulders were blasted to the ground.
Whether it was a human body or a warhorse, once struck by the boulder, it would turn into an indistinguishable pool of blood and flesh, with limbs and fragments mixed with deep red blood, all mingling with the filthy ground, inspiring fear at the first glance.
However, being crushed to death directly would be considered fortunate, since there would be no further suffering.
If someone were grazed by the falling boulder, they would lose an arm or a leg. Several soldiers were not completely hit, but were affected by the impact, and half of their bodies collapsed.
At this moment, all they could do was open their mouths and let out heart-wrenching screams.
Many of the siege weapons charging at the front were hit by boulders, and the chariots collapsed instantly. The soldiers hiding behind them were also smashed to pieces, their bodies, armor, and the heavy chariots blending together. Some were even sunk into the craters.
The towering siege towers and ladders were crushed inch by inch, and several vehicles that had been doused with oil were now burning.
The scattered pieces of wood crackled and popped as they burned, and countless people were set ablaze by the flames.
The once orderly Tu Yuan army was thrown into complete disarray by the first wave of bombs and oil attacks!
The destroyed weapons, the raging flames everywhere, and the soldiers writhing on the ground, screaming in agony, their bodies ablaze, the once-mighty Tu Yuan army was in complete chaos.
In the middle of the battlefield, Mitri, riding his warhorse, had turned pale from his previous confident expression.
Looking at the fallen corpses, he felt himself sweating profusely.
Perhaps it was the blessing of Lady Luck that saved him from being hit by the boulder, but many of his elite cavalrymen, the Eagle Army, were struck.
Before setting out, Mitri thought it would be a battle he could win easily, but he did not expect that such heavy casualties would occur before the siege even began.
These boulders falling from the sky and the raging flames completely shattered his psychological defenses.
He frantically rode his horse around, dodging the constantly falling boulders, having completely lost the will to go any further.
Looking at Xijing City not far away, and then at his men beside him, Mitri gasped for breath and shouted, "Retreat!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mitri didn't care about anything else and turned to leave.
"If it were a direct confrontation, I would never back down! But with these stones coming at me, I can't keep hitting them..."
"We must evacuate immediately! I can't die here in vain..."
Mitri was pale and muttered an explanation for his actions.
At the very back of the battlefield, Mokodin was covered in sweat. Because he was at the rear, he hadn't been hit, but the horrific scene before him had completely panicked him.
He considered all possible ways to fight the final battle, and he also considered that there would inevitably be some casualties during the siege.
But he never expected the other side to use this kind of attack.
Looking at the sea of fire ahead and the soldiers crushed to death by boulders, Mokhadin felt a chill in his palms, and a myriad of thoughts surged within him.
With such tactics on the other side, it would be an impossible task to break into the city again.
Although he was very unwilling, Mokhadin knew that if he continued to forcefully attack the city at this time, he would only suffer greater casualties.
