Chapter 1272 under the flame
When he heard the first explosion, Qiuda's team followed the instructions and came out one by one from the hiding place.
But before he could run a few steps, a shocking sound came from the north again! The loud sound even caused the dust on the ruins, and the violent shaking of the ground almost made everyone fall to the ground.
Qiu Da held his body firmly and looked towards Fang City in surprise. Because he was in a low position, he could only see an orange ball of fire mixed with rolling smoke rising, like a fist waving towards the sky. Around the flames, the red mist was shining brightly, as if the sky was burning.
The sand people looked frightened in their eyes.
This momentum... I am afraid it can be described as the wrath of the Three Gods!
"Don't be afraid!" Qiuda gritted his teeth and raised his arms and shouted, "That is the method used by the chief, which is used to deal with the enemy! Those devils should be afraid of!"
His words brought everyone to their senses.
"That's right, this is the sky fire brought down by the Great Chief!"
"Don't stop and keep moving!"
The stagnant team ran again, in the cracks of the walls, windows, and collapsed houses... people kept coming out and merged into the attacking team. Soon, this inconspicuous stream of people quickly turned into a wave that could not be ignored, rushing straight towards Fangya City.
Qiu Da ran first.
Although he had long been convinced by the chief, he always believed that Shamin was more suitable for fighting than the northerners, especially small clan warriors like him who came from barren oasis and fought against death since childhood. Not only were bows, arrows, scimitars, but even muskets. After receiving training from Brian, he even developed a unique skill, not only with a good fixed target shooting, but also had a good hit rate when shooting during running.
And now is undoubtedly the time to prove yourself.
Not only did he have to rush into the city first, but he also had to achieve the first victory of the army.
He wants to make the name of Mo Jin in Qiu Da ring throughout the army!
However, when the troops were going up the gentle slope and just saw the walls of Fang City, a daunting heat wave swept towards each other for a moment, Qiu Da almost thought he had returned to the extreme south, and it was the top of the sand dune at midsummer noon.
The hot air burned his skin, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.
The people behind are not much better.
The entire team seemed to hit an invisible wall, and the speed of progress suddenly slowed down. Some northerners who rushed forward ran back in a panic and squatted down under the ramp, as if doing so could avoid the sudden burning heat.
Qiu Daqiang walked dozens of steps and felt something was wrong.
The fireball that rose into the air had been extinguished, leaving only a circle of smoke that was still spreading. The originally overwhelming red fog was missing here, as if it was gnawed by a giant beast. The surrounding fog did not fill immediately, but formed a large arc-shaped blank.
Through the open city gate, he saw that the ground in the city seemed to be churning with heat waves, and the outline of the building became extremely distorted, especially the wooden houses washed away by the explosion, and the charred pillars were like demon claws stretching out from the ground. The enemy neither rushed over to stop them nor fled in panic, in fact, he had not found any trace of the devil at all.
At the same time, Qiu Da felt breathless in his chest. The surging heat flow around him made him dare not open his mouth and inhale. His body seemed to be resisting and continuing to move forward. Every step was as heavy as a mountain.
Damn it… When did I become so vulnerable?
The city wall was not far away, but he felt that he had lost all his strength and his vision blurred.
Qiu Da staggered twice and fell to the ground.
The last scene he saw was the disgusting face when Fala dragged him.
...
The direction of this blocking battle completely exceeded the expectations of the Iron Axe and the General Staff.
In the original plan, the burning buckets lined up around the north of the Wolf Heart King City will turn most of the outer city into a sea of fire. The churning flames will not only devour the flammable houses, but also burn the red fog inside and outside the city. This will temporarily make Fang City a "isolated island", and those devils who do not carry breathing devices will inevitably fall into chaos and panic.
The final decision was the ambush troops who launched the attack while the chaos was not clear about the specific number of the opponent, but according to the previous information, the devil would allocate manpower based on the amount of the population it occupied. The evacuation of Fang City would inevitably fall into the eyes of the enemy's investigators. Therefore, the first few days covered by the red fog, the enemy entering the city should not exceed 500. In other words, the first army will have an absolute advantage in terms of the number of people and momentum.
As for how many enemies can be wiped out in the end, that is not the focus of this battle. After all, in order to avoid the reconnaissance of the terror beasts, soldiers can only hide in secret passages and ruins in advance, and all heavy weapons are useless. It is not difficult to suppress the enemy by relying solely on rifles and anti-devil grenades, but it is difficult to bite the enemy all the way back and chase the opponent.
The main purpose of this battle is to attack the devil's offensive aura. As long as they realize that the retreating humans still have the ability to counterattack, they can then slow down the pressure on the evacuation team.
However, the battle ended abruptly until the "detonation" stage.
The imagined fire wall did not appear, but turned into a shocking explosion. The royal city swept across the flames became a forbidden place. The ambush troops failed to cross the city gate and were forced back by the heat waves. Several people also showed symptoms of burning and fainting. At this point, it was obvious that the subsequent attack could no longer be carried out.
Of course, this does not mean that the blocking battle has failed. He can feel the hot air outside the city wall. He can imagine what the situation is in the city with his eyes closed.
There has never been any evidence that the devil is more capable of burning than humans.
The only thing that made Tie Axe feel regretful was that he could not walk around the battlefield in person to see the specific results of this blocking battle. The temperature in the city would drop at some point, and this place was obviously not a place to stay for a long time.
"Sir, all the troops have withdrawn from the Broken Tooth Fort, and we are the only one left." Brian walked into the temporary command post, his eyes full of excitement. For him, who had not experienced the new weapon test but witnessed this scene directly in actual combat, this battle was indeed a scene that could be remembered for the rest of his life.
"Very good, let's retreat too." Tie Axe nodded, "I guess it won't take long before the enemy will notice this. When their pursuit troops arrive, it will not be so easy to leave."
...
As he predicted, in less than a day, a devil team rode the terrifying beast to Fang City, and its leader was Hekzod, the Lord of the Sky.
