Chapter 1053: Karmic Fire
Huang Degong was fully prepared for the attack methods of the Tang army. When climbing this hill, he unexpectedly did not encounter any attacks. Now, the target is ahead. Then the opponent's attack methods are clearer.
He saw several catapults arranged by the other party, but it was obviously aimed at the opponent attacking Guangshui City, and it was a support for Guangshui City. It was useless to them now.
Ordinary feather arrows are of little use to their heavy armor. Even if they are tied into hedgehogs, they can still push forward with these feather arrows on their backs. What can cause damage to them is a powerful crossbow and a fierce turbulent oil bomb.
But above this distance, Huang Degong felt that he could withstand a wave of attacks. As long as half of the 500 heavy-armored soldiers rushed to the enemy's position, they could completely disrupt all the arrangements of the opponent, and then wait for Xu Yong's large army to rush up. As long as he went up, even if he used the oil-adding tactic, he could use the opponent to death at a lower price.
The so-called turtle formation is really like a turtle hunched with its head. The large shield in front protects the whole body, and at least three rows of large shields ensure the thickness. Even if they are hit by a powerful crossbow, it is difficult to cause any damage to the second layer after breaking through the first layer of large shield. There is also a large shield on the top of the head, which can resist the opponent's throwing stones and even minimize the threat of fierce turbulent oil bombs.
It was only fifty steps, even at their snail speed, it was not an out of reach.
The heavily armored soldiers shouted horns and tried hard to keep everyone's steps consistent so that the turtle array could be more tight.
The scream of a powerful crossbow came from the air.
It's indeed these routines.
Huang Degong thought proudly, and through the gap of the big shield above his head, he saw a black turbulent oil bomb flying in the air.
At almost the same time, the powerful crossbow hit the giant shield of the first brand. At such a distance, each of the powerful crossbows shot flat hit the target.
But as Huang Degong predicted, more than ten powerful crossbows only killed more than ten shield-holding soldiers.
The storm bomb fell on the large shield above the head, exploded and burned. Because of the shield's blocking, most of the fire was isolated.
The second wave of attacks came again.
This time, the threat of the storm was completely different from the fierce ignition bomb. The violent explosion sounded and the smoke rose up. The eyes could not see the objects in an instant. They could only hear the whizzing sound, and the screams kept ringing.
Huang Degong's heart sank slightly.
What is this thing?
This is a grenade. The Tang army in the North has just put a batch of experimental products into the army, and each unit is not equipped with much.
Huang Degong thought this was the strongest attack from the Tang army, but this was just a stepping stone.
When the powerful crossbow, storm bombs, and grenades were attacked continuously, and after finally knocking on the turtle shell, a new round of special weapons flew out and landed in the already messy lineup country.
Explosion, fire flashes.
A heavily armored soldier found a ball of white fire stained on his arm. He slapped his hand in surprise, and then he found that his hand was burning. He became a little panicked, and threw away the weapon with his other hand, desperately trying to extinguish the white flame on his hand, but the hand also ignited.
He shouted, fell to his knees, slapped his hands on the ground repeatedly, but the miserable white flames had no sign of weakening.
It burned like a maggot attached to bones.
He raised his hands and screamed loudly, filled with fear.
Huang Degong found that his turtle formation was completely disbanded.
Their bodies were more or less burning with the miserable white flames.
This is not hot oil.
The hot tinder was indeed not extinguished, and it was very sinister, but there was still a way to extinguish him on a small area of fire. What he couldn't understand now was that some soldiers had only a small piece of burning on their bodies, but with the slapping of these soldiers, the burning range became larger and larger. As long as any part of the body came into contact with these white flames, they would be ignited immediately.
What's this?
Huang Degong screamed.
Dozens of black things flew into the air again.
With a loud bang, Huang Degong saw countless stars falling down the sky, covering all the five hundred people who gathered together.
If you were at Ye’s house, these sparks would definitely look good.
But good-looking things are often fatal.
The sparks in the sky fell on these people, and in an instant, a miserable white flame emerged.
Huang Degong looked at an officer opposite him. The man's face was surrounded by white flames. He reached out to grab and scratch the heart-wrenching screams made Huang Degong's heart and courage.
Because he saw the man reaching out and grabbing his face, but the miserable white flames still emerged from a bloody blur and burned.
"Help, general, help!" Several soldiers rolled to the ground wailingly. Every time they shouted, such a miserable white flame spurted out from their mouths, noses, and ears.
Huang Degong regressed repeatedly.
"Hellfire, Hellfire!" He shouted loudly. He, who was extremely brave in the past, was instantly destroyed after seeing such a scene.
The heavy armored team of 500 people was left in an instant, and only dozens of people were still intact. These people happened to be at the corners of the last two rows of the team.
Seeing that almost everyone had become human-shaped torches, these people could no longer bear it. They threw away their weapons and rolled and crawled towards the bottom of the mountain.
They were wearing heavy armor and couldn't run fast at all. After a few steps, they fell heavily to the ground. The people were too lazy to get up, curled up, and rolled down like this. From time to time, they could hear a rumbling sound, which was that they were hit hard on the rotten stones.
But as long as they had a breath, they got up again, ran down, fell again, rolled again, and repeated the last action.
Huang Degong is also running.
Without running two steps, one of his legs tightened. When he looked down, he was hugged by an officer.
"General, save me!" Half of the man's body was shrouded in the white flames. As soon as he opened his mouth, balls of flames spewed out of his mouth and nose. This was an officer Huang Degong usually valued very much, but at this time, he was only shocked in his heart, because he saw that the white flames spread all the way from the man to his left leg.
With a scream, he raised his right foot and kicked the officer hard. The officer was kicked away, but it was this kick that made Huang Degong's right foot ignite.
Huang Degong fled quickly to the bottom of the mountain.
It has to be said that unlike ordinary soldiers, he is carrying heavy armor, but he can still control his body and run very fast.
After leaning against a stone, Huang Degong took a heavy breath. Looking at his two calves on fire, he drew out the dagger, broke the belt of the leg armor on his calves, threw the calves away with the dagger, and cut off the boots on his feet. The boots were not burned for a while, which left his feet intact, but his calves burning because the fire drilled into the gaps in the leg armor.
Huang Degong gritted his teeth and screamed. The dagger was peeled flat, and Kuang Ran cut a thick layer of muscle on his calves. As the flesh and blood were peeled off, the white flame immediately left his calves.
When Huang Degong saw that it was effective, he was overjoyed. He then took a dagger and cut off a layer of the fire on his other leg. However, after burning his left foot for a while, he cut off a layer of it, and he could still see the white fire. He gritted his teeth and cut another layer. This time, the edges and legs were also clearly visible.
But what made him happy was that he finally didn't see that kind of flame.
Blood splattered everywhere.
And the miserable white flames were burning faintly even in the pool of blood.
Huang Degong pulled off a piece of underwear vigorously, wrapped it around Xuegu Longdong's calves, stood up with some difficulty, and ran towards the mountain.
He dared not look back.
Because in the place where he had just escaped, the howling sounds of his hundreds of men were terrifying.
Xu Yong's troops at the foot of the mountain had just begun to form, and a group of more than a thousand soldiers were ready to climb the mountain, but the scene on the mountain stunned them.
The continuous attack that was about to be launched immediately also came suddenly.
Huang Degong ran down the mountain. Before he ran to the front of these people, he fell to the ground with a buzz, losing a lot of blood, and finally the mighty general could no longer support him.
A soldier rushed forward and helped Huang Degong up. The team of thousands of people retreated quickly.
On the mountain, Liu Yuan, Qin Chaizi and their subordinates all stood up and looked at the heavy armored soldiers who were screaming and rolling in the air. The expressions in their eyes, from the initial joy to the solemnity of the present, gradually turned into fear.
They only know that this special ammunition is called a white phosphorus bomb, but they could not imagine that the power of the white phosphorus bomb after it exploded was like this.
There was no sound in the human being, but the miserable white fire was still burning silently.
The five hundred soldiers with heavy armor, even facing the Mo Dao Guards of the Tang army, had the ability to fight, but on this small hill, they died silently without causing any sensation.
Xu Yong immediately withdrew his troops. The five hundred heavily armored soldiers on the mountain died too badly, which had a great psychological blow to his subordinates. It was obviously inappropriate to attack again.
A possible war ended just now.
Liu Xinda looked at Huang Degong, who could hardly see a few taels of flesh on his calves, and listened to Huang Degong's trembling voice and remained silent for a long time.
On the top of the mountain, I don’t know how long it took, but the miserable white flame finally disappeared completely. Liu Yuan and Qin Crazi walked over carefully.
The person is gone and the body is no longer found.
Liu Yuan stretched out the horizontal knife in his hand and picked up a pair of heavy armor. A gust of wind blew, and the gray-white dust suddenly rose.
This is not dust, this is the ashes of those enemies.
"Damn it!" Liu Yuan cursed and looked back at Qin Crazi, who was also looking at him in horror.
"How many of these things do we have?"
"There are not many, there are still two boxes. Less than a hundred." Qin Crazi said.
