Chapter 103 Shocking (Thanks to Wabao for the reward)
Countless flaming bows shot into the city, but the flaming bows did not seem to be aimed at the Tartars. The Tartars did not even need to dodge, as they just saw the bows hitting the houses, haystacks and streets.
There are also grain stacks.
The Tartars don't care if the bullets hit other places, they even want to laugh at the Han people. They don't even need to burn this little broken city, you can burn it yourselves!
But food has to be snatched.
Aren’t Han people the most thrifty in food? They were willing to burn the food! The Tartar generals then ordered: “Seize the food first, then kill the Han people!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud 'boom' and a large area of red flashed before his eyes, followed by wave after wave of heat waves.
The flames roared and raged, sweeping across heaven and earth, as if they were going to burn the sky, the earth, and all things in the world to ashes.
The soldier who had first gone to grab the food was already engulfed in flames, like a burning scarecrow.
But this scarecrow can move, scream, roll on the ground, and pounce on its companions to try to save itself.
Unfortunately it was of no use. The flames were like the fire of hell, which was difficult to extinguish once they touched him. He could only watch him fall to the ground, curl up into a ball, and become fuel for the flames.
This was not the most terrifying thing. What was even more terrifying was that the "boom" sound continued one after another, and the flames spread along the grain stacks, houses, and street corners.
It was like the punishment from Thunder God or the wrath of Fire God, with rumbling sounds, sea of fire and waves of heat.
Almost in an instant, no one, whether it was the Tartars in the city or the soldiers outside the city, expected that after the flaming bows were shot, the border town would become a sea of fire and hell.
At that moment, the image of the Gate of Hell in Fengdu emerged in the mind of Wei Zhubo, who had just escaped from the border town.
Cheng Yu, who was on horseback, tightened his grip on the spear. He had seen fish oil firearms before. It was with that thing that he scared the Zheng family, so that Yunniang was not snatched back by them.
But what he didn't expect was that the explosion of thousands of fish oil firearms could actually bury an entire city in a sea of fire!
The soldiers who fired the flaming bows retreated instinctively. Jin Sui did not reprimand them, but calmly issued the next order: "The entire army retreats three miles away!"
"Be careful of the Tartars rushing out of the city gate! Anyone who rushes out of the city gate will be killed without a single one left alive!"
The explosions in the city are still continuing. This is the trap set by Jinsui in advance!
It was also her trump card that gave her the courage to kill this Tartar. What she showed Cheng Yu at that time was a map of buried fish oil. Some of it was mixed in the food and would explode at the touch of a button.
Some are buried on the roadside or in houses and will take a while to burn before they explode.
To be honest, the explosion was a little unexpected for her. After all, seeing it live was completely different from seeing it in movies or on TV.
It even reminded her of the explosion that killed her. It was also such an earth-shattering roar. In the blink of an eye, she became the current Ling Jinsui.
A mournful horse neighing woke her up from her memories. Unexpectedly, the first person rushing out of the city was not a Tartar, but a war horse.
However, this warhorse was covered in flames from its mane to its tail, as if it had rushed out of a sea of fire in hell.
The direction the warhorse was heading was exactly the South City Gate, where the Yanzhou Army was stationed, and where Wei Zhubo escaped with Chen Yunniang and other "baits".
If the explosion of the fish oil firearms had a great impact on Jinsui and the soldiers of the Black Feather Camp and the Tuntian Camp, then the impact on the Yanzhou army was no less than a bolt from the blue and the collapse of the sky and the earth.
If Wei Zhubo had not repeatedly reassured them, this was the secret weapon of the border town, which would only kill the enemy but not hurt its own people.
The Yanzhou army fled as soon as the explosion sounded.
Just as the burning warhorse rushed out of the South Gate, the psychological defenses of the Yanzhou army had become extremely fragile.
The captain leading the army just stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
Wei Zhubo was the one who reacted quickly and shouted, "Quick, shoot it! Anyone who rushes out of the city, whether it's a man or a horse, will be shot!"
The Yanzhou army suddenly fired arrows at once, killing the war horse at the city gate.
What no one expected was that the warhorse rushed out of the sea of fire in the city, as if to create a way out of the sea of fire.
Those whose bodies were on fire but not seriously injured; those whose bodies were not yet on fire; and those Tartars who were about to faint from the thick smoke.
They reacted immediately and slapped their horses: "Charge!"
The walls of this small city are low and dilapidated. As long as the war horses rush out, they will have a chance to survive! Hundreds of war horses rushed to the South Gate. Some were already engulfed in flames, while others were burned by the fire along the way. The flames were both life-threatening and aroused their instinct for survival.
When the Yanzhou army saw the neighing herd of war horses rushing out of the sea of fire, their psychological defenses had become as thin as a hair.
Fortunately, Wei Zhubo remained calm and shouted: "Shoot!"
Rows of arrows were shot out, and countless war horses were shot into hedgehogs, but more were hit by several arrows, their bodies were covered in flames, but they still ran wildly instinctively.
Seeing that they were about to break into the Yanzhou camp, the Yanzhou army general could no longer endure it and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat!"
Wei Zhubo shouted, "We can't retreat! What's running out now is a horse, and soon it will be a person!"
Unfortunately, no one listened to him. Only the border soldiers he brought out from the city and female relatives such as Chen Yunniang stood firmly behind Wei Zhubo and did not retreat a single step!
It happened so quickly that from the first explosion to the time the war horses rushed out of the sea of fire, it was only half a quarter of an hour.
Jin Sui and Cheng Yu had no time to respond and didn't even see clearly what was happening.
When Captain Huang on the mountain saw this, the torch signals became disordered and he kept waving them to try to attract the prince's attention.
Although Jin Sui didn't understand the specific meaning he wanted to convey, he understood one thing: something happened at the South City Gate.
She said angrily: "The Yanzhou army is really unreliable! Half of them will stay behind, and the other half will follow me to the South Gate!"
Cheng Yu issued the same order. Cheng Yu did not learn this from Captain Huang, but he had already sent people to keep an eye on the Yanzhou Army.
Upon hearing that the Yanzhou army was retreating in chaos, he immediately led his troops to fill the gap at the South City Gate.
By the time he and Jinsui arrived at the same time, the herd of horses had already rushed out of the defense line. The Yanzhou army evacuated in a panic, and many people were trampled to death by the mad war horses.
On the contrary, Wei Zhubo observed calmly. The mad horse just rushed forward. He immediately led his men to the side and was not injured.
But the crazy horses are no longer the focus now. In fact, these madly running war horses are still a fortune for the border town.
Because war horses are extremely expensive and difficult to buy, these horses stop when they are tired. Even if they are burned and can no longer be used as war horses, they can still be used to pull goods, and the meat of those that are burned to death can be eaten.
Hundreds of horses, if half of them survived, would be a considerable fortune.
The enemy at hand was the war horses that had managed to carve out a way for the Tartars to survive through the sea of fire in the city.
The surviving Tatars followed the war horses and rushed towards the south gate.
The Tatars knew very well that this was a life-and-death battle, and this border city was obviously a trap set for them!
