City Shoufu.
The roar of artillery outside became more and more frequent, and Wellis became more and more nervous.
"Commander, I have no problem being your guide, but my question is... can we get through this difficult situation first?"
"Count Arista is a renowned general in the kingdom. The soldiers he commands are the best in the kingdom! If we lose... forget about going to Franky, I doubt you'll even be able to return to Daxia!"
Guan Xiaoxi raised his head, looked at Wellis, and said with a smile: "It seems that you still lack the necessary confidence in the Daxia army. Then I will take you to see it with your own eyes!"
The three of them left the city defense house under the protection of a thousand personal guards and came to the city wall.
Wellis looked up and saw the air force of Yu Dingshan's First Division flying out from above their heads.
Now Wellis knew that this thing was called an airship. He seemed to remember the scene when this thing bombed the walls of Ephesus two months ago. He was still a little scared, wondering what the scene would be like when this thing flew over Count Arista's army and dropped terrible bombs.
He withdrew his gaze and scanned this section of the city wall. The Daxia soldiers on the wall were not in the slightest panic. The gunners were loading the shells very skillfully, much more skilled than his previous army. Moreover, they had an extra step - observation!
Next to each cannon was a soldier observing the enemy position, and then numbers roared out from their throats:
"Due south, thirty feet, elevation twenty-five degrees...fire!"
With a loud bang, a cloud of thick smoke came out of the muzzle of the cannon. The shell landed accurately in the enemy's vanguard camp and exploded. In the surrounding area within a distance of ten feet, blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant, and countless people died.
Count Arista's front-line troops suffered heavy losses, but he did not order to stop the attack. He still held up the telescope and looked at the mysterious object covering the sky.
Wellis was shocked at the accuracy of the Daxia army's control of the cannons. At the same time, behind the arrow slits on the city wall, the soldiers in silver armor had already set up their guns. The enemies who were lucky enough not to be killed in the artillery fire ran into their range. The gunshots rang out, crisp and sharp, and then Wellis saw the enemies falling to the ground one by one!
It was the same gun, but in the hands of the Daxia soldiers, it seemed to be even more accurate. They could almost hit the target every time! Moreover, they had extremely short reload times, leaving little room for the enemy to fire between each round.
With a force of one hundred thousand and three hundred cannons, the army of Daxia managed to stop Count Arista's million-strong army more than twenty feet below the city wall!
The place was densely packed with corpses, as if the god of death had drawn a line there, which became an insurmountable gap for Count Arista.
Welles knew this was just the beginning.
He raised his head again and looked at the airship in the sky. The airship had already flown above Count Arista's central military position!
At this moment, Wellis was startled, and Count Arista's pupils suddenly shrank - those airships in the sky dropped something!
These things fell down like raindrops, becoming larger and clearer in Count Arista's telescope. He saw the shape of the thing - a jar!
Those are cans!
Count Arista was full of doubts. Can this thing kill someone?
This thing can really kill people, but its main power is not smashing, but burning!
Of course, a million-strong army is a large number, but in the eyes of Yu Dingshan in the air, they are just a dense swarm of ants.
When these jars fell, there was an earth-shaking wail in Count Arista's camp. It was unknown how many people were hit by these jars, but the wail only lasted for a few breaths.
As these cans broke, they exploded. The explosion was not loud, and the kerosene inside them spilled onto the soldiers and the ground.
As the explosion sounded, the kerosene immediately caught fire.
As dense explosions rang out, Count Arista's million-strong army was engulfed in an endless sea of fire in just a short moment!
Count Arista was horrified, his heart filled with unprecedented fear. These flames were like the fire of hell, they attached to the soldiers' bodies and could not be extinguished even if they rolled on the ground!
In Count Arista's horrified sight, he saw his soldiers wailing, twisting, running madly in the hellfire... and then being swallowed up.
"Retreat... Retreat quickly...!"
Count Arista finally gave the order to retreat, but...
Behind the main force, there is already a wall of fire!
The panicked soldiers were like headless flies, rushing towards the wall of fire like moths. Instead of being extinguished, the wall of fire burned even more vigorously because of the dedication of these people.
The city of Ephesus was surrounded by the sea!
Sea of fire!
Count Arista's soldiers moved forward, only to be greeted by roaring artillery fire and bullets, and behind them was the hellfire that made them despair. The flames on the battlefield where they were had also spread and were gradually becoming overwhelming!
Marquis Wellis took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the air was scorching hot and filled with the strong smell of burnt corpses.
He looked around and saw that the huge city of Ephesus was surrounded by raging flames. The residents of the city also came out, looked around, and felt the hot air waves coming towards them.
Count Arista was in despair at this moment.
He was horrified to find that even he himself could not escape from the sea of fire.
His heart was bleeding, but his mind was blank.
How long had it taken from the time the enemy dropped the first jar to the time the place was turned into a sea of fire?
Half an hour at most!
Yet, in just half an hour, a million strong army, the kingdom's elite, was surrounded by flames, devoured, and then...burned to ashes!
“Sir, run…!”
His personal guards roared, and Count Arista woke up from his despair. He looked around blankly, but gave a wry smile.
run?
Where to run?
Flames were burning all around him. He raised his head in despair, and a clay pot fell beside him. Kerosene splashed on his body, and the flames burned, setting his chariot and his clothes on fire.
Everything is over just like that.
At this last moment, he seemed to think of the legendary prophecy -
These demons from the East are invincible and can sweep across the world with ease!
Their name is Daxia!
Wellis also closed his eyes, he knew that the kingdom's million-strong army was gone.
But there will always be someone who can escape. Da Xia's reputation will probably shock the whole world in a very short time!
