Chapter 26 City Gate Collapse
Shan Ule is the "Dadan" of this group of horse bandits, which means "wolf head" in the nomadic language.

His orders came out through the messengers, and the horse bandits turned the arrows one after another, and the overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards Chino.

Just as the horse bandits set fire to Kino, Lugo led the mercenaries to raise their shields, forming an airtight shield wall in front of Kino.

"Ding ding ding ding ding!" The sound of gold and iron was like a rainstorm destroying the city. Lu Ge and the others only felt that the shields were getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, these shields were all excellent equipment that Kino bought from Dusk City with Yinyue. , will not be easily penetrated, and the weight of the arrow falling is also flattened by everyone, and it can withstand it for a while.

Chino attracted the firepower of the horse bandits, which was good news for the other soldiers. They soon plucked up the courage to get out of the city pier and fought back with powerful crossbows. .

As soon as Shan Ule saw the shield wall in front of Chino and knew that he couldn't shoot through, he passed the order again to let everyone kill the soldiers who were exposed first.

For a time, the soldiers of Xilin Town were at a disadvantage in the shooting, and more and more casualties.

In this way, the exchange of life is definitely the one with fewer people who loses.

Chino looked at the brightly lit city wall and gave the order: "Turn off the fire."

"Turn off the fire!"

"Turn off the fire!"

In the roar of the messengers, the torches on the city wall began to go out quickly, and it was pitch black. Only the stern arrows of the crossbow arrows could be seen occasionally, and people could not be seen clearly.

In contrast to the desert horse bandits, in order to keep the horses calm, they must provide a certain amount of lighting.

In this vast night, their torches were the beacons. The soldiers in Xilin Town hardly needed to aim, just shoot at the brightest place. The brightest place was the densest of enemies, and they could hit indiscriminately.

The gap in vision caused heavy losses to the horse bandits, and the advantages accumulated by the previous mutual shooting were gone.

A follower rode to Shan Wule's side and said in a deep voice, "Da Dan, we will die more and more at this rate."

Shan Wule looked at the city wall where the lights were dark and smoldering, with a sneer on his face: "Then, let's try 'that'."

Hearing the sound, the smile became more and more hideous.

Shan Wule rode his horse and galloped in front of the battle, and a loud bell-like shout spread throughout the army: "Back a hundred paces! Back a hundred paces!"

The horse bandits were of high military quality. They did not want to fight when they received the order, so they immediately retreated a hundred paces on their horses. In addition to the previous distance, they were already 200 paces away from the city wall, and both bows and crossbows could not shoot each other.

When Baiza saw it, he was overjoyed: "They are going to escape!"

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Chino squinted, and when he saw that the horse bandits had withdrawn a hundred paces, he immediately stopped. He knew that this was not an escape.

After the horse bandits stopped, they ran to the side of the pack horses and took out something from the supply box.

Shan Ule looked at the city wall from afar, remembering Chino's location early, staring at him through the darkness, revealing a bloody grin.

"The first echelon, throw the oil tank!" Under Shan Wule's order, 80 horse bandits quickly approached the city wall.

Chino frowned: "Set fire! Don't let them get close!"

Arrows poured out like rain on the city wall, but the aim was too bad. Only 13 horse bandits were shot down, and 3 of them were shot by Chino himself.

The remaining 67 horse bandits rushed to the wall, took off the oil tank hanging from the waist, opened the bolt, and threw it on the city pier.

When those black pig paste-like substances flowed out of the oil tank and even spilled on their bodies, the soldiers in Xilin Town were at a loss.

"Throw fire!" Shan Ule's whistling sound was like the call of death.

67 cavalrymen threw the torches in their hands onto the city wall. The torches drew a burning arc in the air, like a natural disaster. When they fell to the ground, they immediately ignited those black substances.

This black ointment-like liquid is the product of alchemy, and its raw materials are extracted from the depths of the desert, so it is also known as "Desert Fire".

Desert Fire is a special military-controlled product in Doguland, and if there is no royal approval, even the golden moon cannot be bought.

In the past, horse bandits attacked towns, but they had never heard of desert fire. This time, it was obvious that nomadic tribes had mastered its refining technology.

This kind of thing is as thick as pig cream. As long as it gets on the body and ignites it, it is extremely difficult to get rid of. No matter whether you are good at slapping it, wrapping it in clothes, or rolling on the spot, it is useless. It can even burn in water without oxygen, and the flame will burn bigger and bigger. , until the man was burnt to a charred corpse.

Xilin Town became the first sacrifice of the desert fire.

"Huh--" The desert fire was ignited, the flames rolled like a furious dragon, and the fire soared into the sky, turning the city wall into a fiery hell.

"Ah! Help!! Help!!!" A soldier who was sprayed on the front of the desert fire has turned into a complete fire man. His body is covered with black thick oil that will never burn out, and his skin and muscles are inexhaustible. The flames quickly dried up and carbonized, and the whole person cried in despair and ran around.

"Shoot him!" Chino was too far away to shout.

In the face of their comrades fighting side by side, the soldiers finally reacted a step slower and failed to shoot them immediately.

A soldier who didn't have time to escape was accidentally hit, and the pig's cream-like fuel stained his body, turning him into a skewer of meat on the grill. Half of his body was rotted, and he rolled on the ground in pain, but he couldn't put out the fire on his body.

"It's so hot! I don't want to die! Mom!!"

"Don't come here! Don't run towards me! Ah!!!"

"Help! Who will save me!!"

"Water!! I want water!!!"

The cries came and went, and the soldiers on fire ran around, bringing the desert fire to every corner of the city wall. Some wooden structures were burned to charcoal in a short period of time and completely collapsed. Soldiers who could not escape in the future were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

The horse bandits formed round after round of echelons, more and more desert fires were thrown like stars, and endless black smoke shrouded the city wall, as if death spit out a black tongue, swallowing all licked life, everywhere. All charred corpses.

As the temperature rose sharply, some soldiers who were not on fire were burnt to their respiratory tracts, and some were trapped in the most intense fire area, unable to escape. Rolling, screaming, and eventually losing movement, becoming a charred corpse without moisture.

As for Chino, I have to say that Lugo and the others really want money and not life. They are afraid that Chino will lose his life and won't be able to get the final payment, so they are still maintaining the shield wall.

Several cans of desert fire smashed on the shield and burned, almost burning the shield to a soldering iron, and they still did not flinch.

Kino kept shooting the soldiers on fire with the crossbow under his wrist, and shouted sharply: "Everyone! Shoot the people on fire first, and then evacuate the city wall!"

This order is very important. Don't look at the fire in the desert now, but it is only scorching the wall. This kind of stone wall is not so easy to be burned down.

If these flaming soldiers run around and set fire to other wooden structures, and even burn to the transmission bearings, causing the city gate to fall, it will be a disaster.

However, under the power of the desert fire, the morale of Xilin's defenders had already collapsed, and everyone fled this flaming hell in a panic, even the messengers fled and threw Chino on the city wall.

Lu Ge and his companions struggled to maintain the shield wall, turned back and roared: "Hurry back! This kind of fire, the rookies will only run for their own lives, and no one will listen to your orders!"

Baiza next to him also shouted: "Hurry up! The circle of fire is about to gather!"

Lu Ge and the others couldn't stand it anymore. The heat of the desert fire had been transmitted through the shield, making their arms sizzle, and almost all their flesh was on it.

The surrounding fire is also getting more and more fierce. Once the fire circle gathers, it will be difficult to fly.

"Retreat." Chino had to lead everyone to retreat.

On the way to retreat, Baiza glanced at Kino subconsciously, and he could see that he was in a bad mood.

Under the attack of the desert fire, Xilin's defenders lost more than half of them. Counting the people who were shot to death before, at least 150 people fell on the city wall and turned into charred corpses.

The rest of the people who escaped were more or less injured, and they had already been frightened. If Baiza hadn't cut down a few deserters on the spot, they would have fled in a large area.

Three minutes after the retreat, what Chino feared most happened.

The failure to shoot the soldiers on fire in time caused the fire to spread on the city wall on a large scale, eventually burning the bearings of the city gate and burning down the device that maintains the structure of the city gate.

"Boom!" The city gate lost its balance and fell like a fallen giant, shaking the ground with a roar and raising hot dust.

The last barrier guarding Xilin Town disappeared.

At this moment, there is no longer any barrier inside or outside the city wall!
