Chapter 1857
The officers and soldiers of the Huben Army who were attacking the city immediately felt the pressure.
They found that the attack from the side defending the city suddenly became fierce, and the killing became even more fierce. More people surged up from the inside of the city, and they were hacked and killed!
"Quick, block it!"
"ah!"
There were sounds of fighting and shouting.
The soldiers of the Huben Army on the city wall were killed and their numbers were immediately reduced. At the same time, many people climbed up the ladder and were waiting to climb up.
They did not notice that rockets were fired from the entrances of several watchtowers on the city wall to the moat below the city...
Gao Cangyi couldn't see the fighting situation above the city, he could only see the fighting situation below the city.
Because you can see that the ladder is very stable and the soldiers are climbing up in an orderly manner. Although the speed is very slow, the victory will be won if one goes against the other.
The rush car was finally transported outside the city gate and prepared for the collision.
Victory is at hand!
Gao Cangyi showed a faint smile, it was an expression of control over everything.
"The general has no plans left, this time he will achieve unparalleled achievements!"
"Especially the construction of the wooden pontoon bridge made the moat useless."
"As long as Wu'an is conquered, the leader of the thieves Guan Ning will be captured alive, and the rebels will naturally disperse by then."
"This great achievement belongs to the great general."
"I have long heard that the general is one of the two heroes of the Dakang Dynasty and has a great reputation. But now I know that there are no real people under the great reputation!"
The surrounding soldiers licked Takakura Yi, which made him feel like he was floating, and he felt extremely proud inside.
"General, if you don't make a sound, that's it. If you make a sound..."
Before Gao Cangyi finished speaking, he immediately stopped, and his proud expression turned into panic.
"That is?"
A general echoed: "General, this is soaring into the sky!"
He felt strange, why Gao Cangyi had such an expression, as if he had seen something terrible, he also turned around and saw a fire suddenly breaking out outside Wu'an City in the distance.
"fire!"
"Fire!"
Everyone on the stage looked surprised when he saw it.
"What's the situation? Why did it suddenly catch fire?"
Gao CangYi just came back to his senses and asked anxiously.
If he could see it from his position, what would the actual situation look like outside the city?
He couldn't help but shudder.
One hundred thousand troops were invested and gathered in the area below the city. Once a fire broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable...
"Send the order, retreat immediately!"
"retreat!"
Gao Cangyi yelled.
"I'm afraid it's too late..."
The deputy general beside him said with difficulty.
Gao Cangyi was speechless.
It was still a flame just now, but now it has become a wall of fire. The fire seemed to be located just above the moat, blocking their escape route and making them unable to escape even if they wanted to.
He could even see the soldiers twisting in the curtain of fire...
Gao Cangyi was stunned.
Why can fires break out on the water?
At this moment, the outside of Wu'an City has become a Shura prison.
The wall between the fire wall and the city wall is densely packed with soldiers, who are like ants on a hot pot at this moment.
The smell of burning and roasting is disgusting. The temperature here quickly rises to an extremely high level. Even if you don't get burned, this kind of roasting is unbearable...
The shrill screams spread, making people's scalp numb!
Burn the siege troops!
This is the ultimate move Guan Ning has been holding back!
On the one hand, he dug the moat to store water to deter enemies, and on the other hand, it was for now.
The moat has been poured with kerosene, and the kerosene is just above the water, igniting the fire.
At the same time, all the kerosene prepared on the city wall was poured down, directly on the wooden rafts.
Soaked in oil and fueled by the flames on the river, the wooden rafts and bamboo rafts filled with the river instantly burned, forming a wall of fire and a curtain of fire!
The wooden rafts that helped them cross the moat now became the biggest fuel, but instead harmed them!
These rafts have been burned, leaving the river empty. Can this be saved?
Not really!
Because there is also a fire burning on the river, turning it into a sea of fire. Jumping in rashly will be a dead end!
There is a barrier in front, and the road behind is cut off.
The only way to survive is to climb up!
But because in this environment, the ladder was ignited and turned into a fire ladder, making it impossible to go up...
This scene was too cruel, with so many Tiger Soldiers struggling, screaming, and twisting in it.
On the other side of the moat, the soldiers who were about to rush over immediately stopped. They looked at this scene with fearful expressions and dull eyes.
The escape route is completely cut off, and there is no other option but to wait for death.
So many people will be buried in the sea of fire!
The brutality of the war is clearly evident.
"I hope this battle can make them realize something."
Guan Ning, who was on the city wall at the moment, said in a low voice: "I really don't want this..."
He didn't want to, but he had no choice.
Throughout history, which successful person is not left with many dead bodies behind him?
Guan Ning took a deep breath, and her expression gradually returned to calm.
This road is the only way he must pass!
"This battle is over."
Guan Ning opened his mouth and said: "These Tiger and Guard troops are all here. I wonder what that conceited General Gao is thinking?"
I don’t know when the sound of war drums quietly stopped.
The entire scene fell into silence, hundreds of thousands of people were silent, and the atmosphere was quite weird.
Their eyes were all looking in the direction of Wu'an City, and they all had the same idea.
Gone!
Of the 100,000 Tigers and Ben troops invested, most of them did not make it out alive, except for a very small number of people who did not come forward later...
What was originally a good situation suddenly changed, and the result exceeded everyone's expectations!
"No!"
At this moment, Gao Cangyi let out an unwilling roar.
His body and mind were shaking!
No matter how tragic it was, he could only watch helplessly without any solution.
There were nearly 100,000 casualties this time. If these 100,000 people were new recruits, he would not feel any distress or even frown.
But the casualties were those of the Tiger Army!
This elite division only has a total of 150,000 people. It is his biggest support, but now it has suffered huge losses.
The key is that he didn't achieve any results, which was what he couldn't accept the most.
What if this result is transmitted back to Beijing?
He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be?
How much criticism will he cause by then?
"General, retreat."
There was a general beside him who spoke with difficulty.
This battle had a huge impact on morale, and at this moment, there was still a sea of fire under Wu'an City, making it impossible to get close, and it would take time for the temperature to drop.
It will take at least three days!
"General?"
"Back off!"
"Regroup and fight again tomorrow."
There were voices of dissuasion from all around.
"I……"
Chapter completed!
