Chapter 89 Fire Attack



No one was allowed to speak as the raid was carried out at night.

But a strong fighting spirit was revealed on everyone's face.

Everyone was filled with hatred towards the Annan army and dreamed of taking revenge with their own hands.

The opportunity is now.

Even though the enemy had a huge advantage, no one felt afraid.

Arrange the tasks of each team's troops.

With a roar, the city gate was opened and the army rushed out quickly.

Because the distance is very close, there is almost no buffer space.

First, a team of cavalry was sent to the wind vent and started setting fire.

The other cavalry cooperated with the infantry to block the other three directions.

Complete the encirclement of the enemy with half of the troops.

The Annan army never expected that the Dayuan army would take the initiative to launch a sneak attack at night.

Although they heard the noise, they did not panic at all.

Instead, they all looked disdainful.

In their view, even if they launched a sneak attack at night, it would be pure suicide.

Furthermore, there was a wooden wall outside, so the so-called sneak attack had no effect at all.

There were even generals who mocked that the Dayuan army was giving them an advantage by building the wall.

Under the orders of the general, the Annan army quickly assembled.

They planned to defend first and launch a counterattack when the Dayuan army was exhausted.

The entire Dayuan army can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Even the Marshal of Annan planned the same.

He really couldn't imagine the possibility of failure.

I want to see what Commander Dayuan is trying to do.

They were just making the minimum preparations for when the Dayuan army escaped.

Now we just need to rely on the city walls for defense.

It was this idea that gave Li Ye the opportunity to set the fire.

The cavalry rushed to the wind vent, ignited the rockets and fired them at the place where the flammable materials were stored.

All the torches in their hands were thrown into the wall.

A moment later, several huge explosions were heard.

“Boom boom boom…”

The stored gunpowder exploded and burned along with the kerosene.

Coupled with the strong wind, the fire spread very quickly.

In a matter of seconds, a huge fire broke out all over the sky, and the Annan soldiers nearby were frightened and retreated quickly.

Those who ran slowly were directly engulfed by the flames and soon lost their lives.

The Annan general was attracted by the huge explosion and looked over.

His eyes suddenly widened.

I just felt like my heart was being tightly gripped.

It took a few seconds to react.

My heart sank to the bottom.

He hurriedly shouted: "Retreat quickly, we have been tricked!

Dayuan wants to burn us to death in the woods!"

Marshal Annan finally understood why the battle was won so easily.

All the unreasonable things finally made sense to me at this moment.

It seems that this is a trap, and everything they do is to paralyze them.

The purpose was to lure them into the woods to set up camp, and then wait for strong winds to launch a fire attack.

He figured out Dayuan's plan and was frightened to death.

Quickly give the order to rush out.

But due to their carelessness, the Dayuan army had surrounded them.

For a moment, Genyu was unable to rush out.

The Dayuan soldiers fought desperately and shot out crossbow arrows as if they were free.

They even set fire to the wall outside to prevent the soldiers from going to the coat.

Zhao Wudi led the cavalry to charge back and forth.

Those who had just escaped were not fully armed, let alone able to resist cavalry, and were easily killed.

The fire spread very quickly, and the Annan soldiers in the woods all crowded together to avoid the fire, causing a stampede.

For a moment, there was a mixture of crying, shouting and cursing.

"Anyone who dares to come around will be killed on the spot! Don't crowd into the middle, rush out!"

Marshal Annan was furious.

They have a large number of soldiers, so as long as they fight hard and rush out, they will definitely get out.

However, many soldiers were afraid of the fire and huddled together tightly.

It's simply the stupidest behavior.

Once the formation is disrupted, they will flee in a panic.

It's simply suicide.

After killing more than ten people in one breath, he finally managed to stabilize the chaos.

Commander Annan shouted, "All commanders, listen carefully! Keep your soldiers under control. Anyone who dares to push us will be killed without mercy.

Everyone, form a formation and charge out. As long as we can, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

The two sides launched a fierce and bloody battle.

The fire burned faster and faster, and the soldiers who could not escape were soon engulfed by the flames.

In order to survive, other soldiers rushed out without caring about their lives.

Li Ye was also outside encouraging the soldiers: "We must stop the enemy!

Think about your family members who were killed. The opportunity for revenge is right in front of you.

If we hold out just a little longer and prevent the enemy from escaping, the fire will consume them all."

All the soldiers were blood-thirsty.

Even the soldiers held their breath and vented all the hatred in their hearts on the enemy.

However, as more and more enemies rushed out, they began to form a defense line outside the wooden wall to protect other people from rushing out.

After a long and fierce battle, Li Ye realized that if this continued, the casualties would be too great.

After all, he had too many soldiers under his command, and they didn't even have complete weapons and equipment.

The enemy was inspired to survive and fought extremely bravely.

We can't just use up all our troops.

This is not the result Li Ye wanted.

Let people call off the troops.

The cavalry followed and the infantry retreated quickly.

The Dayuan soldiers all retreated like a tide and retreated back into the city.

Some soldiers were still a little unwilling.

“Your Highness, if we hold on a little longer, we can burn all the enemies to death.

It would be a shame to retreat now!"

"Shut up and obey your Highness's orders!"

Li Ye's generals scolded him loudly.

The leader must enforce the rules and obey orders no matter how dissatisfied he is.

Li Ye did not explain too much and gave the order again: "Everyone rest on the spot, and we will continue fighting in a while!"

Li Ye was waiting, waiting for the poisonous weeds to take effect.

After a great battle, all the soldiers had undergone strenuous activities, and the drug's effects took effect more quickly.

Their bravery in the battle was due to the effect of adrenaline, but once they escaped from danger, their whole spirit relaxed and they would suddenly become extremely tired.

If the poisonous herbs regain their effect at this time, the soldiers will definitely become very weak.

If we take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack again, the enemy will surely lose all morale and will be forced to flee desperately.

Marshal Annan led his troops to escape, not daring to stop for a moment.

His men had suffered heavy losses, were all in shock, and their morale had fallen to the lowest point.

You must escape to a safe place to rest for a night and then regroup.

They didn't even dare to count the number of people and could only flee.

After running for a distance, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Many soldiers felt limp all over and their heads were dizzy.

I am becoming less and less energetic.

Some people even fell to the ground and couldn't stand up.

"What's going on? Everyone, get up! We've only just run a short distance, and you can't run any further?

You can't rest here! Get up and keep going!

If the Dayuan army comes after us, you will all die!"

The leading general scolded loudly and even kicked the soldiers.
