Among these 1,200 guards, in addition to the 200 guards from the former Zhongguo Duke's mansion, the other 1,000 or so are the guardians and sinners of the former prince family officials. They were all sinners originally, if it weren't for Zhongguo Duke Shen Ao who came forward I saved them, but I'm afraid they are now living a life worse than death.
Or more likely, many people could not bear the suffering, could not eat enough, could not wear warm clothes, and had their character trampled on, so they had already died.
But now, they have good food, warm clothes, and even money to earn money. Some of them have even changed from slave status to humble status because of their accumulated military achievements. Seeing that one day they will become good citizens again, how can they How about not feeling grateful to Shen Ao?
In this way, they will unconditionally obey any order given by Shen Ao. Many of them have decided to repay these biological parents with their lives. Therefore, even Shi Lei, as the guard captain beside Shen Ao, has an identity He is considered noble, but if he doesn't listen to Duke Zhongguo, these guards will still raise questions.
After being reminded, Shi Lei came back to his senses and looked apologetic. Really, how could he still think about compassion at this time? The people who were burned this time were barbarians, but he had been eyeing Da Gan and wanted to embarrass the young master and the fifth princess. They are barbarians. You should not show any mercy to them, because if they had not died, you might have died yourself.
Shi Lei, who had regained his composure, gritted his teeth and threw the torch in his hand onto the black oil. When the fire met the black oil, a raging fire ignited in an instant, and the flames shot out, and it was impossible to see it with the naked eye. Rushing away along the trench at an incredible speed.
When Shi Lei threw down the torch, he was already more than ten steps away from the trench, but when the fire ignited, he still felt the heat. The sun was already high in the sky at this time, giving people a feeling of heat. , coupled with the temperature at which black oil ignites, it is really not something that humans can accept and bear.
call.
After taking a long breath, Shi Lei, who had completed his mission, rushed straight to Xiucheng with 1,200 guards. They wanted to continue to follow Shen Ao to create greater glory.
Before closing the city, with the addition of Shen Ao and the five men, the seemingly firm defense circles of the barbarians were broken. Once broken, countless rangers and Bukhan cavalry rushed into them, often representing those in their circle. The barbarians were killed or captured.
One after another, when all the defense circles were broken, the doom of the three thousand barbarian soldiers came. With nearly a thousand people killed and injured, and without the leadership of the general, the other barbarian soldiers were like headless flies. Usually, they either kneel down and abandon their weapons and surrender, or they run towards the rear in order to escape the enemy's pursuit.
Seeing that less than a thousand barbarians chose to surrender, and more than a thousand people chose to escape, that was a lot of money!
No matter how willing the rangers were, they wanted to chase the enemy one by one. Even if they could not ride horses due to the obstruction of the trench, many of the cavalrymen of Bukhan also dismounted and leaned on their legs to make a posture. The appearance of chasing and killing the enemy.
"Okay, everyone stop, stop the pursuit, clean the battlefield quickly, and retreat to the city." After seeing everyone's actions, Shen Ao shouted loudly and stopped. He had already smelled the smell of black oil and knew what was coming. Shen Ao, who knew what would happen next, would certainly not let his soldiers take risks.
After several battles, Shen Ao had already formed enough personal authority. When he shouted like this, no matter whether everyone wanted it or not, they could only stop the pursuit at this moment and start cleaning the battlefield according to the order, capture the prisoners, and report to the enemy. Withdraw within the city.
Just when the battlefield had not been completely cleared and the prisoners had just pressed into the city, a fire dragon appeared in people's sight.
They were seen like lightning in the sky, appearing at an extremely fast speed, then leaving the city and scattering into the trenches filled with black oil.
Although the fire dragon was divided into countless branches, its fire power did not weaken at all. On the contrary, the flames grew bigger and bigger. Wherever it went, the temperature in the air instantly increased by dozens of degrees, and waves of flames rushed towards it, causing Life is hard for people.
Shen Ao and others who were still a hundred steps away from the trench could feel the scorching heat, not to mention the 15,000 barbarian troops who were rushing towards Xiucheng and were in the dense trenches.
When the fire came quickly and the temperature continued to rise, some people felt something bad was happening. General Shajie, who was following Origi, showed fear in his eyes and shouted, "It's a fire dragon, hurry up! Everyone Man stay out of the ditch, stay out of the ditch.”
While speaking, Sha Jie kicked a barbarian soldier to the ground, then pulled the second prince and threw them on top of the barbarian soldier who fell to the ground.
The fire dragon attacked, and the barbarian soldiers, who were not prepared at all and had never seen such an attack method, were immediately in chaos. As the temperature of the air continued to increase, even the temperature of the ground was as hot as a burning iron pot, On the ground where no barbarian soldiers could stand, they all fell to the ground due to being burned, and then they kept wailing and shouting.
They say fire is ruthless.
The fire, which was entirely fueled by black oil, had no emotion at all. Anyone who came close to the trench would be devoured and cooked. The fifteen thousand barbarian army became a hot target. The dumplings in the pot fell to the ground one by one involuntarily.
"Retreat, retreat quickly." The Barbarian King had already sensed that something was not going to happen, but considering the fighting under Xiucheng, he did not order the army to stop advancing. The moment he saw the black oil burning in the distance, he knew that something big was going on. No, I ran backwards first.
Fortunately, the Barbarian King always appeared as the rear army, and the end of the trench was more than a mile behind them. As they ran with all their strength, many soldiers in the rear army escaped, and they were considered to have escaped.
But apart from this rear army and the approximately 3,000 people who followed the Barbarian King, the other more than 10,000 Barbarian troops did not have such good luck. Under the fire, countless people were burned to death, roasted to death, heated to death, and Or they suffocated to death because they couldn't breathe normal air.
The fire was still burning fiercely. The black oil was not exhausted and the fire was not extinguished. Even Shen Ao had trouble putting it out.
The Barbarian King just watched the fire burning in front of his eyes. He had long lost the demeanor of the Barbarian King. He was kneeling on the ground with disheveled hair and his eyes were vacant.
These were more than 10,000 barbarians. They didn't even have a chance to fight with their opponents, so they died in the fire. They were unjust.
And all of this was caused by his eagerness for quick success, and he was one of the murderers. So many people died in the battle, which represented the breakdown of many barbarian families. He was the culprit. How could he face the barbarian people and those who believed in him? What about leaving the men in the family to your own people?
Princess Oyadan, who had already received the news, also rushed to the scene with people. This was nearly a hundred steps away from the trench. Standing here, she could still feel the hot breath. It can be imagined that deep inside Most of the people among them will be in bad luck.
"Shen Ao, why are you so cruel? What other methods do you have?" At this moment, Oyadan had several thoughts in his mind.
She hates it but doesn't hate it, loves it but doesn't love it.
The relationship between the two parties is originally hostile. No matter what method is used, it is appropriate and normal. How can she hate it?
She had a personal fondness for Shen Ao. Love was something that she could never forget even after seeing her once. Sometimes, she didn't feel the slightest bit when meeting her every day.
Oyadan's feelings for Shen Ao naturally belong to the former. It's just a normal fight and killing, no matter who loses or wins, it's understandable. After all, everyone's perspective is different. But after this fire, he died so much There are many barbarian soldiers, and the most important thing is that, as far as Oyadan knows, her second prince brother is also among them. If he also died in the fire, the hatred will be great, and the father can still allow him to go Marry your brother-killer?
If she has this hatred, how can she love and dare to love?
For a time, Oyadan was caught in a tangle, not knowing what the future would look like.
In Xiucheng, Shen Ao and everyone were also looking at the burning fire.
Everyone who didn't know it was frightened by the fire. If Shen Ao hadn't just called everyone to retreat, and if they had taken the initiative to catch up, the fire would have swallowed them up. Seriously, wouldn't they? Are you going to turn into a piece of barbecue too?
Thinking that it was right to listen to the Duke, many people's eyes showed a sense of joy.
Of course, more people looked at Shen Ao with awe in their eyes. They had never heard of the method of the fire falling from the sky before, but it could be used by the Duke of the country. How could it be possible? Isn’t it comparable to ghosts and gods?
Such people are lucky to be on their side. If they were opponents, they might not even know how they died.
Among them, Ila and Hedage felt the deepest. Thinking of how they warmly received Shen Ao when he first entered the city of Bahan without showing any hostility. What a right thing. If it had been done in the first place, If we treat him as an enemy, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether the current Ba Khan drama still exists.
A person like Shen Ao who has endless tricks cannot be regarded as an opponent. Ila and Heidage were grateful for the correct choice of the clan leader. At the same time, they also secretly determined in their hearts that they could not provoke Shen Ao in the future, otherwise they might be the ones to do it. When the whole army of Khan was destroyed.
Compared to how ordinary people view themselves, Shen Ao was not in a very good mood at this moment.
Shen Ao naturally understands the principle that fire is merciless. If it weren't for desperation, why would Shen Ao be willing to use such a method to deal with the barbarians?
If the barbarians hadn't found fault with themselves again and again, always thinking about getting married and using themselves for their own purposes, especially the old man King Barbarians, who actually wanted to take advantage of the fifth princess, how could he have done it? After traveling so far, how could we come to trouble the barbarians? How could this ruthless fire appear?
