Hai Qing was also shocked. He looked into the distance and said after a while, "I can't see clearly … it looks like … it's an arrow …"
"How can an arrow be so powerful! Hai Qing, you're talking nonsense! "
Although the Empress Dowager said so, she and the officials who followed her here could not help but wonder if this was the weapon in the hands of the princess of Dai Yu State, the weapon that even the Emperor coveted.
This was not the end. GongYimo directly fired two arrows, and the oil barrels that were still leaking oil exploded in the air! Sparks of oil splattered everywhere, and everywhere it went, it was like a fairy scattering flowers! The flowers did not look obvious, but they were sparks! When they covered the sky and landed on the body, they were very destructive. Especially when they landed on the hair and skin, it was very disturbing!
The enemy panicked. Some people put out the fire on their bodies, some held onto their injured limbs and wailed. Some hurriedly retreated and stepped on the oil and cried out. There were also some who blindly looked around, not knowing what to do.
These three consecutive explosions stunned them. They had never encountered such a situation before, so they naturally did not know how to deal with it!
"What are you waiting for! Kill them! "
GongYimo's dignified voice fell. The garrison troops, who were originally unconvinced by a woman's orders, suddenly felt their blood boil! The enemy was now a mass of scattered sand. Wasn't this the best opportunity for them to fight?!
Therefore, the eight thousand people rushed out, raised their weapons, and slashed. The fire belt was like a natural moat. The explosion blasted a huge crater in the ground. Everyone hesitated as they watched the thousands of people who had rushed in earlier run around like headless flies. Then, they faced the battle in a sorry state!
How could the Empress Dowager watch her people get slaughtered? She ordered the troops to go forward and help the three thousand people who had rushed into the belt of fire. Only then did Hai Qing regain his senses.
"Kill! Kill! The enemy doesn't have many weapons like this. Don't be afraid! "
That's right. If GongYimo had many such weapons, she could have started the war in Yuhua City. Why would she hide here?
Therefore, many soldiers obeyed the order and continued to charge forward!
Not only them, even Shang Mingxi was stunned. GongYimo only raised her bow again and condensed her internal energy.
"Light the fire!"
She asked Shang Mingxi to light the fuse, but Shang Mingxi didn't dare to. The match almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, GongYimo roared.
"Are you a man?! Light the fire! "
"Yes!"
Shang Mingxi subconsciously responded and quickly lit the fire. This extremely dangerous thing was so close to him, yet he still dared to light it?!
The flame ignited, and Gong Yi Mo shot an arrow, once again hitting the boundary of the fire zone! The sound of an explosion rang out, and another few dozen people fell to the ground. Although their injuries were not serious, the sudden pain was enough to throw their morale into chaos! It was as if that belt of fire was a warning, and anyone who crossed it would be killed without mercy!
Many of them felt GongYimo's silent warning amidst the casualties of their comrades, and once again hesitated to move forward.
Hai Qing was furious. "Charge! She didn't have many of these weapons! Don't be afraid! "
But this time, no one listened to her. Perhaps she didn't have many of these weapons, but she shouldn't let them use their flesh and blood!
The Empress Dowager also realized that something was wrong. The sudden change caused the people's morale to drop. If they didn't think of a way to put out the fire, they might really lose the battle in the chaos!
Now the belt of fire began to spread in the direction of the Empress Dowager. Over at the Snow City, because a belt of fire had been dug, the fire would not spread over there.
The Empress Dowager saw that her subordinates kept retreating when they saw the fire coming, so she quickly ordered people to dig a belt of fire to prevent the fire from spreading. This was the bad thing about autumn. Snow City was full of grasslands, and once the grass withered, it would be easy to burn, which was really annoying.
There were continuous sounds of fighting over there. GongYimo ordered the archers to assist, but she nervously stared at the enemy. The belt of fire was about to go out, and without grass, the oil would not burn for long.
Now the Empress Dowager was holding back for two reasons. First, to let her subordinates wake up from the shock. Second, the belt of fire was disturbing. Their clothes were on fire, which really affected the morale of the army.
As for the thousands of people who rushed over, they could only pray for themselves!
Seeing that the reinforcements had not arrived, the 3,000 enemies at the city gate panicked. Soon, more than half of their bodies were left behind. The Empress Dowager saw that the fire was dying down, and she was also very anxious.
"Everyone, don't be afraid! The enemy must not have many weapons. If you sacrifice yourselves here, I promise that after the victory, we will pay three times the compensation for those who died! Now that the arrow is on the bow, we have to release it! We can't just watch 3,000 of our comrades die! "
"Now, we still have victory in our hands! Today is the day to make a contribution! What are you waiting for?! "
GongYimo saw that the fire was dying down. The belt of fire that had spread for hundreds of meters was not enough to stop the enemy. She decisively gave the order.
"Retreat! Return to the city! "
At her order, the garrison, who had been in a killing frenzy, was a little reluctant. Out of 3,000 people, more than 2,000 had died. Why not kill them directly?
However, they still respected GongYimo. So when she said to return to the city, they hesitated for a moment and retreated. The remaining 1,000 or so enemies did not dare to chase after them. They watched the gate of the Snow City close again. In the first round, they had lost 2,000 people for nothing!
Shang Mingxi was a little excited. He kept asking her what she had tied to the arrowhead just now and why it was so powerful!
GongYimo was a little impatient. "Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare?"
Shang Mingxi nodded. "It's close to the Mid-Autumn Festival. There are a lot of fireworks in the city."
"Very good." GongYimo ordered people to scatter all the fireworks and then tightly fill the big vats of wine. Not only did they contain the powder in the fireworks, she also asked people to put in some broken porcelain, stones, and other things. Finally, she put in a kind of black powder and mixed it well. Only the fuse was exposed, and then she sealed it!
No one dared to ask her what she had put in. But looking at the dozens of sealed vats in front of them, they were a little scared!
Shang Mingxi looked at the ground full of fireworks and firecrackers. Then, he thought about the powerful explosion of the tubular object. His heart flashed. Could it be that the legendary weapon in Gong Yi Mo's hands evolved from fireworks?
He knew that fireworks could sometimes hurt people's hands, but GongYimo's weapon could blow up a big hole in the ground. It must have been made from more than just fireworks. Otherwise, the people of Dai Yu State would have replicated it long ago. It would not have been only GongYimo who had it for so many years.
Thinking of this, he sighed. In the past, he had heard that the princess of Dai Yu State had a weapon that even the emperor coveted. He thought it was nonsense, but he did not expect it to be true …
Before they could catch their breath, the Empress Dowager launched a second attack!
GongYimo stood on the city wall calmly and watched the enemy rush over. She still did not react.
This time, even Shang Mingxi was calm. Although he did not know what GongYimo was going to do, he trusted her blindly and knew that she must have her reasons for doing so.
