Upon hearing this, the generals seemed reassured and all showed joy on their faces.
Wei Jingzhuo's method was to completely abandon the lethality of bows and arrows and instead use fire arrows. As long as the fire oil stuck to the enemy soldiers, it would ignite on their bodies.
Meng Ruliu also excitedly said, "The General is right. No matter how sturdy they are, how could they not be afraid of fire?"
After the tents were closed, everyone went to prepare their rockets.
After noon, the Southern Chu army came to challenge again. Wei Jingzhuo led his troops into battle formation. Su Wan, worried, also climbed the watchtower in the camp to watch.
As if emboldened by last night's victory, the Southern Chu army not only dispatched its ghost soldiers but also 10,000 ordinary soldiers. Each thousand ordinary soldiers was led by two hundred ghost soldiers.
Unlike last night, this time the ghost army was all dressed in full black armor, completely covered from head to toe, with only a gap at the eyes of their helmets.
Upon seeing the enemy's formation, Wei Jingzhuo understood the situation and said to his generals, "The enemy intends to use their monster troops as the vanguard, while ordinary soldiers expand their advantage. They have ten units, so we will also change our formation, with three thousand men against each monster unit. One thousand men will be dedicated to using fire arrows against the monsters, and the remaining two thousand will hold off the enemy troops behind them."
Su Wan felt a little worried when she saw that the ghost army opposite her was wearing armor she had never seen before.
She had never seen the Southern Chu army wear this kind of black armor before; it was thick and sturdy, with gaps only at the joints. Could this also be provided by a family of divine healers?
The deafening battle cries pulled her from her thoughts; the two armies had already begun fighting.
According to Wei Jingzhuo's arrangement, the Jin army had one army specifically to deal with the ghost army, and another army to fight against the ordinary soldiers of Southern Chu.
Wherever the demon army charged, the Jin soldiers retreated, simultaneously igniting fire arrows and hurling them at them. The demon army, finding no one to fight, had no outlet for their strength. One demon soldier was engulfed in flames, becoming a human torch.
Su Wan was deeply moved and gripped the railing tightly.
Even the strongest body cannot withstand the flames. Once the demon army is defeated, this war will be over.
The fiery demon soldier took a few steps, raised his hand and pressed something onto his body, from which a large amount of white mist spewed out, instantly extinguishing the flames on his body. Then he swung his halberd, and several Jin soldiers closest to him were sent flying into the air like bundles of dry straw, their blood splattering everywhere.
The other burning monsters on the battlefield followed suit, spewing white mist from their armor to extinguish the flames.
"This is too fake!" Su Wan exclaimed. "What kind of armor is this? Does it have a built-in fire extinguishing function?"
The demon army is immune to arrows and fire, and is unstoppable in close combat. How can we deal with them?
She was still in surprise when the ghost army abandoned their pursuit of the Jin soldiers and rushed towards the Jin army's camp.
The Great Jin army could evade the attacks of the Ghost Army, but their camp was immobile. Once the camp was breached, the Great Jin army would lose its defenses. Moreover, their weapons and various supplies were stored within the camp.
The generals on the battlefield grew anxious and approached Wei Jingzhuo, saying, "General, the Ghost Army has turned to attack our camp. What should we do?"
Wei Jingzhuo shook his head and said, "We have lost this battle. Sound the retreat."
Unable to withstand the demon army clad in mysterious armor, the Great Jin army lost another camp and was forced to retreat to Yanxun Pass.
