"receive!"
Zi Yang quickly responded and said to the nearby soldiers, "Pour gasoline and retreat quickly."
The soldiers quickly unscrewed the gasoline barrels and poured the gas while retreating.
After spreading the gasoline, turn around and run away.
"Don't let them get away, chase them."
At this time, Zhuogo, the general of the Daliangtou Army, discovered the fleeing soldiers and decisively gave orders.
"Go, kill the duck..."
Countless soldiers accelerated and rushed out.
The generals had previously instructed us that we must be quick when charging into a siege.
Because the arrows of the Tan family army are very powerful.
But in close combat, bows and arrows are not very effective.
Drogo soon discovered something was wrong. The ground in front of the city gate was covered with dry straw, extending all the way to between the two mountains. There was also a smell of kerosene in the air.
What’s even more strange is that even the city gates were not closed, but wide open.
There won’t be an ambush in this situation!
But it was too late to order a retreat, as the soldiers were almost rushing to the city gate.
Among them were cavalrymen riding war horses, who could not be called back.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say, "Go ahead."
Our number is three times theirs, what are we afraid of?
Just act recklessly and you're done.
More than 500 cavalrymen rushed into the city gate without any hindrance.
The soldiers following behind were overjoyed to see this.
Drogo hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.
I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that Pengshui City had no defensive preparation at all?
How could the barbarian army fail to capture the city for so long when the defenses were so lax?
"Squeak..."
But before the soldiers could reach the city gate, it was closed.
Drogo was stunned.
The more than 500 cavalrymen who rushed in were trapped inside. They were like turtles in a jar!
No matter how weak the Tan family army is, it is impossible for them to be unable to deal with more than 500 cavalrymen!
“Ah, ah…”
We could also hear the frightened war horses and the painful screams of the cavalrymen.
Drogo shouted anxiously, "Get the catapults ready, get the ladders ready, and attack the city with all your might."
Tan Junyan stood on the city wall, looking at the scene below. Feeling that it was almost time, she took out her walkie-talkie and said, "Ignite."
“Swoosh…”
Dozens of flaming arrows were shot out from the city and landed on the straw soaked with gasoline.
When the Daliang army saw the straw on fire, they subconsciously stomped on it to put out the fire.
Drogo also realized that the situation was not good and shouted: "Put out the fire, put out the fire...Put out the fire first."
But the fire spread rapidly and could not be extinguished.
The soldiers were forced to dodge back and forth due to the raging fire.
Soon, the area in front of the north gate became a sea of fire, leaving the soldiers with nowhere to hide. They were panicked by the burning and tried to escape, but no matter where they went, there was fire.
“Ah, ah…”
Screams were heard one after another, and some people were burned and rolled back and forth wailing.
The horse under Drogo's crotch was burned and jumped up and down, throwing Drogo off.
"Retreat, retreat... retreat quickly..."
Drogo roared in pain, enduring the burning pain.
In fact, without any orders, the soldiers who still retained some rationality were already retreating quickly.
Seeing this, Tan Junyan decisively picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Throw rolling stones and logs, and have the archers release arrows. Try to keep them."
"Got it, got it..."
Someone responded immediately on the intercom.
Immediately, numerous stones and logs rolled down from the mountains on both sides with great impact force, knocking down the soldiers who were trying to escape.
Some Daliang soldiers were smashed into a bloody mess.
Not only that, but dense arrows continued to shoot down.
If you don't escape, you will be burned to death, and if you escape, you will die faster.
The raging fire illuminated the entire battlefield, and in the chaos, screams and shouts rang out one after another.
The Daliang army, which had not yet rushed into the sea of fire, wanted to provide rescue but was unable to move forward.
The passage leading to Pengshui City has become a death passage and it is impossible to get through.
Not only is there raging flames ahead, but there are also logs, boulders, and arrows on the mountain, each of which is deadly.
There were also some brave soldiers who wanted to rush in to rescue people, but as soon as they got close, they were forced back by the high temperature and thick smoke.
He could only watch his teammates die tragically on the spot.
"snort!"
A general snorted coldly.
"The fire will eventually die out, and even the rocks and logs will eventually run out. Pengshui City will perish today."
"The entire army retreats one mile and waits until the fire is extinguished before attacking the city."
This old man simply ignored the officers and soldiers trapped in the sea of fire.
The main thing is, it’s no use trying to help because there’s no way to save them.
The deputy general beside him asked in surprise: "Are we retreating just like that?"
The guy glared and said, "If we don't retreat, are we going to rush in and die?"
"Coach, they're retreating."
"We won."
"They were scared away, haha..."
On the city wall, someone saw the Daliang army retreating and shouted excitedly.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Tan Junyan scolded coldly.
"We are facing the entire army of Daliang, a force of hundreds of thousands of people. We can't just withdraw all of them just because of a few thousand casualties."
Sure enough, when the fire subsided, the Daliang army rushed up again like locusts.
The leader this time was a bearded man, who stood in front of the city gate on a warhorse, pointing his spear at the city wall.
"Tan Junyan, open the door and surrender, and become my concubine. Perhaps this will save your life."
"Hahaha……"
Immediately someone joined in the laughter.
"Where's your fire, where's your boulder and log?"
"All gone! Hurry up and surrender, and become my general's concubine."
