The bandit master was worried about the black armor of his bodyguard. After receiving Master Chen's advice, he immediately arranged for people to send several baskets of oil jars to the front line!
The problems that Master Chen could think of were what Jin Feng thought of when he was designing the armor.
Although black armor is hard, it is not invulnerable.
Water and fire are pervasive and are the best way to deal with black armor.
When training the escorts, Jin Feng also emphasized being careful of the enemy's fire attacks and flooding.
If in normal times, the enemy was seen approaching with a jar of oil, the escort behind him would have knocked him down with arrows.
However, the fog was too thick at this time, and by the time the escort saw the bandits approaching with the burning oil jar, it was already too late.
Although the escorts in the back row shot some of the bandits immediately, more than a dozen oil jars still came over!
"Fire protection formation! Retreat!"
Liu Tie roared angrily, and all the bodyguards quickly retreated, raising their arms to block the situation.
Bang bang bang!
Because they retreated in time, most of the dozen oil jars fell to the ground, but five or six of them hit the bodyguard.
In an instant, the place where the bodyguards and bandits were fighting turned into a sea of fire.
Seven or eight escorts were stained with fire oil and suddenly turned into burning people.
"The third squad is putting out the fire! The second row is on top!"
While giving the order, Liu Tie pulled out a wet towel from the side pocket of his armor and skillfully helped an escort put out the fire.
This wet towel was specially prepared by Jin Feng to prevent this situation from happening.
The bodyguards of the third class were also like Liu Tie. The two of them worked together to quickly extinguish the flames on the bodyguards.
The first platoon was originally at the front. The first platoon withdrew to put out the fire, and the second platoon quickly stepped up to prevent the bandits from taking advantage of the situation.
In fact, they were completely overly concerned. The place where the bodyguards and bandits fought was now a sea of fire.
When the bandits threw the jar of oil, they didn't even think about whether it would burn any of their own people, so they just threw it over.
Liu Tie and others responded quickly when faced with the bandits who threw the oil jar, and only seven or eight bodyguards were affected.
But the bandits turned their backs to the oil jar and did not see anyone throwing the oil jar from behind. Their reaction was not as fast as the escorts. At least twenty or thirty people died in the flames.
Heart-rending screams came one after another, making the bandits behind feel numb.
In this case, no bandit would dare to cross the sea of fire to attack the escort.
As the burned bandits died, the mountain road that had been beaten down suddenly became eerily quiet.
The kerosene on the ground finished burning and was extinguished one after another.
The air was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell.
"The oil jars are useful. Dozens of them were burned to death at once! Quick, send me all the oil jars to the front and burn them to death! The more ears you cut off, the more money you will get!"
The bandit leader kicked and kicked the bandits in the rear to drive the bandits away and continue fighting.
The fog was too thick and the bandits could not see ahead. Many bandits believed the boss's words and thought that the one who screamed just now was the bodyguard.
After all, the oil jar was thrown by one of our own people. Isn't it reasonable to burn the enemy to death?
So driven by profit, the bandits in the rear began to charge again.
The bandits behind don't know the real situation, but the bandits in front do.
The leading leader was also burned to death. Without anyone to take the lead and supervise the battle, who would dare to charge forward?
They were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, colliding with the bandits who were charging forward.
The mountain road, which was not very wide, suddenly became a mess.
A sharp-eyed platoon leader noticed that there were many bandits carrying oil jars among them, and hurriedly ran to report to Liu Tie.
Although the flames on the bodyguards were extinguished and no casualties were lost in the battle, two bodyguards were burned on their faces, and one of them had his eyes burned out. It was still unclear whether they could be saved.
Liu Tie was already simmering with anger. When he heard the escort's report, he gritted his teeth and said, "I originally wanted to fight them face to face. They are looking for death themselves, so they can't blame me! Use grenades!"
"Yes!" The platoon leader hurriedly ran out.
Soon, several bodyguards came over carrying a box of grenades.
There were several bodyguards nearby who were quickly assembling small catapults.
This type of catapult was specially designed by Jin Feng for throwing grenades. Although its range is not as far as that of a large catapult, and the number of grenades it can throw each time is not many, its winding and filling speed are faster than that of a heavy crossbow, and its accuracy is also higher.
Following Liu Tie's order, several grenades flew out with a roar.
Boom! Boom!...
The mountain road was not very wide to begin with, and the bandits were huddled together. A few grenades were thrown at them, and the lethality could be imagined.
Groups of bandits and rag bags flew up!
Even the thick fog was temporarily dispersed by the shock wave of the explosion!
Now the bandits in the rear finally saw the situation in front.
The shocking effect caused by the grenade explosion can even suppress Danzhu's elite cavalry, let alone the bandits?
Almost all the bandits were frightened!
Liu Tie took advantage of the fog to dissipate and saw where the bandits had stacked the oil jars, and quickly ordered his bodyguard to aim there.
This time only one grenade was thrown, but the damage caused was greater than before!
The oil altar was smashed by the grenade and was thrown away, and the three feet around it completely turned into a sea of fire!
Then Liu Tie ordered the escort to launch another round of bombardment at the bandit gathering point farther away!
Several consecutive attacks completely wiped out the remaining fighting spirit of the bandits!
The bodyguard is already very powerful in combat, and he has such a sharp weapon, how can he still fight?
So the bandits began to disperse, and no matter how much the boss threatened, they couldn't stop them!
"Fangzhou, bring the horse over and chase it for me!"
Liu Tie shouted to the back, and the platoon leader responsible for protecting Guan Xiaorou and guarding the war horse immediately sent the war horse over.
"Protect your wife, if something goes wrong, I will take your head!"
Liu Tie got on his horse and told Fang Zhou to personally lead the team to hunt down the bandits.
"Madam is here too?"
When Zuo Feifei and the female workers saw the battle ended, they all came out of their hiding places.
Hearing Liu Tie's words, he looked at Fang Zhou in surprise.
Without waiting for Fang Zhou to answer, Zuo Feifei saw Guan Xiaorou leading A Ju and others out of the thick fog.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the place and smelling the burnt stench still permeating the surroundings, Guan Xiaorou frowned tightly.
Although she couldn't see from behind just now, when she heard the sound coming from the front, Guan Xiaorou knew that the battle must be very fierce.
But she didn't expect it to be so tragic.
Iron Can Mountain is not far from Xihewan. Guan Xiaorou is responsible for the research and development of soap fragrances and often goes to the soap factory. Zuo Feifei and Guan Xiaorou are no strangers, but Zuo Feifei is stunned when she sees Guan Xiaorou wearing armor for the first time.
But after all, he was the head of the factory. Zuo Feifei quickly came to her senses and stepped forward to greet him.
"Madam, it's so dangerous here, why are you here?"
"Sisters, thank you for your hard work!"
Guan Xiaorou looked at the female workers around her, bowed solemnly, and said emotionally: "Sisters risked their lives to help the village resist the bandits. Xiaorou will never forget this kindness in her life!"
