The pirates at the back didn't know what was happening in front of them, so they all started shouting and cursing loudly in the city gate. After hearing the dissatisfaction of the people behind, the twenty pirates who were carrying the iron gate quickly lifted it with all their strength, trying to buy time for everyone.
However, they had just raised the iron gate about a foot high when a fire suddenly burst out in front of them, and then they saw fifty or sixty archers with bows and arrows aiming at them. One of the pirates in the leader shouted: "No!
, fell into the trap!”
Before he finished speaking, fifty or sixty feather arrows flew towards him. Within a distance of less than twenty steps, the strong bows were fired. The damage caused could be imagined. The twenty tow pirates who were carrying the iron gate
More than half of them were shot to death on the spot, and the remaining ones also had at least two arrows stuck in their bodies.
At this time, the pirates who realized something was wrong shouted loudly: "There is an ambush ahead, brothers behind, hurry up and run out."
But at this time, the pirates who were constantly squeezing in from behind had already squeezed the narrow city gate into a sardine can. Moreover, the people behind continued to curse, unable to hear the voices in front at all, and had no idea what was happening in front.
Seeing that their shouting had no effect, and after the archers outside the iron gate that had fallen to the ground shot arrows again, the pirates rushing in front really felt desperate. They knew that they would definitely not survive tonight.
.
However, their predictions were still optimistic, because they just thought that they would be shot to death by random arrows. In fact, this method of death was too merciful. The kind-hearted Balian heard that Barrett was planning to use this method to kill him in the city gate.
After killing the pirate, he immediately told him the secret of the city gate tower, which was that there were twenty oil pouring holes in the city gate.
This was what Balian told Liano when he and Liano were discussing the design of Fort Noland. He had seen the big killer weapon on the city gate in a book in his previous life.
time, it can produce unexpected effects.
Besides, the killing effect brought by a pirate meat barbecue feast is much better than the killing effect brought by random arrow shooting, and it is much more efficient.
When Barrett received the letter from Balian, he was immediately pleasantly surprised after reading it. If hundreds of Toba pirates could be burned to death at once, the battle to defend Fort Norland would be over. He
How can I not be happy?
After confirming that there was no problem with these oil dump holes, Barrett became more confident in his judgment that this war should end tonight.
Sure enough, when the pirates in front were shouting desperately and trying their best to block the arrows not far away with their shields, the pirates behind were scolding the pirates in front for their slow progress and delaying their entry to burn, kill and loot.
Twenty large streams of water appeared on it.
Since the oil pouring hole is designed with a wide mouth and a curve, the flow is very large, but the people below cannot attack the people above through the oil pouring hole, so it is perfect.
After the sticky liquid was poured down, all the pirates in the city gate were wet. The pirates were confused by the liquid falling from the sky. However, as soon as the careful pirates smelled it, they knew something was wrong.
It's oil!
"Ah! Run! These Bricks are going to set fire!" A pirate pushed down another pirate next to him and began to run out in a hurry. When the other pirates heard his cry, they also knew that something was wrong and wanted to hurry up.
Turn around and run out, but it was easy when you squeezed in, but now it's not so easy to turn around and run out.
Because the pirates' desire for wealth and revenge was so strong, they didn't even consider that there would be an ambush at the city gate, and they pressed everyone up. They were packed in the city gate, with people in the front and middle
It was simply impossible for the pirates to turn around and run back.
But at the critical moment of life and death, none of these pirates could care about anything. The person in front pushed the other person down without giving way, and then trampled over him, completely ignoring the friendship between comrades and brothers.
And the people behind were not polite. If you dare to push me, if you don't show brotherhood, I will chop you to death. A bloody fight broke out in the city gate.
Just like this, the Brick archers were just getting ready to launch rockets, and the oil-covered Tubu pirates in the city gate started killing each other.
However, Barrett didn't care what the pirates crowded in the city gate were fighting about. He just wanted to light up the fire quickly, burn these stinky pirates who wanted to invade Fort Nolanden, and end this as soon as possible.
A battle.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Fifty or sixty rockets shot into the city gate. Although half of them were blocked by the iron gate, the remaining half of the rockets came into contact with these oil-covered pirates and were filled with flammable substances.
The city gate cave burst into flames quickly.
Seeing the raging fire that was quickly encroaching on them, the Tuba pirates behind finally knew what was happening in front of them. They quickly turned around and ran out, but the city gate hole was too narrow. They, the pirates who were crowded at the entrance of the city gate hole,
They are also divided into front, middle and back. They all want to squeeze out quickly. The result is that except for the few who are really outside, it is difficult for everyone to squeeze out.
And what's worse is that the defenders on the city had anticipated this situation. They placed several large iron pots above the entrance to the city gate, filled with oil, and they poured the oil directly down.
, turning the front gate of Nolandenburg into a sea of oil.
Moreover, the defenders on the city also threw down the clay pots containing door grease and other flammable substances, making most of the entire front area of Fort Nolandenburg filled with flammable substances.
At this time, the pirates who had not yet entered the city gate cave quickly turned around and ran away. The last dozen or so pirates who rushed into the city gate cave had just run out of the city gate cave. Hundreds of rockets were fired from the top of Nolandenburg Castle.
Shot it down.
In an instant, the entire front of Fort Nolandenburg became a sea of fire, and the blazing fire devoured the lives of the pirates. The pirates who were moaning and shouting to kill everyone in Fort Nolandenburg were now covered in blood.
The flames howled.
It was not too late. The soldiers of the Fort Norland militia on the city began to fire arrows to kill the pirates who were running around because they were on fire. This could be considered a good thing. After all, they were in pain.
Compared to being burned to death, being shot by random arrows was a pleasant and less painful way to die.
The pirates who ran out of the city gate hole were a little miserable, but the pirates who didn't run out of the city gate hole were even worse. Their current situation cannot be said to be a happy paradise, at least it can be said to be a purgatory on earth.

(The sentence structure and wording of this paragraph are borrowed from the video of John Khan Jr., hahaha!)
Because there is more oil in the city gate cave, and the people are denser, and the city gate cave is relatively closed and narrow, the moment the flames burst out, the air in the entire city gate cave seemed to be evacuated, and many pirates in the middle were
