Everyone exclaimed as the hot air balloon rose.

But Ouyang Jian was the first one to change his face.

He pulled Wei Lizheng's clothes, and when his friend turned around, he saw his solemn face.

"Your Highness, Dakang people are so cruel..."

Ouyang Jian said so.

Wei Lizheng wondered, "What? Why do you say that?"

"You will know when you look." Ouyang Jian sighed, then looked at the hot air balloon flying towards Cheshi Dongcheng.

"Why are you talking halfway? Hurry up!" Wei Lizheng asked.

"Did you just now think that the two Your Highnesses made a fool of themselves, and they were divided into small numbers?" Ouyang Jian asked without looking back.

"Yes! Isn't it?" Wei Lizheng was puzzled.

"I used to think it was, but it wasn't." Ouyang Jian said quietly: "Do you know what they are for?"

"Speak quickly!" Wei Lizheng became impatient.

"They are worried that the people in the city will run away."

“!?”

Wei Lizheng was inexplicably not understanding what he meant at all.

But Ouyang Jian stopped talking and just stared at the hot air balloon.

In fact, most people are staring at the hot air balloon.

Many of the Cheshi army, who had never seen hot air balloons, were so scared that they knelt down on the city wall, muttering words.

What's more, they just kept bowing.

Muto and Sangis were so scared that they quickly cursed and asked their soldiers to pull them up.

If you are scared like this, how can you fight in a war later?

But this is of little use.

No matter who sees so many balloons flying towards you in flames, they will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, there are also some who are more courageous.

When the hot air balloon arrived, they started shooting arrows with their bows and wanted to shoot these fire-breathing monsters.

But ordinary bows and arrows are not far in range, especially when they are upward.

The lowest hot air balloons are in the air above sixty or seventy meters.

The higher the air, the greater the wind, so the arrow will hit the deviant force, and the force will be neutralized by the wind, making the force weaker.

However, the wooden grenade thrown from the air has enough weight and an acceleration, so it will fall faster.

In a short while, the first batch of hot air balloons arrived around the city wall.

As soon as he leaped over, the operator skillfully cut open the cowhide bags tied on all sides, and streams of black viscous liquid spilled in the air.

You can see in the distance that these black liquids, like lines, sprinkled on the fifty meters of space around the city wall.

"It's a sin!"

Ouyang Jian sighed in a mournful voice.

After the first batch, the second batch was again.

Eighty-seven hot air balloons sprinkled black liquid around the city walls.

Many soldiers were poured on them.

Originally they thought it was venom, but there was nothing else except fishy and sticky, so they could only drag their clothes down while swearing.

Where the city walls can stand people, the ground is full of such viscous black liquid, which makes it very troublesome to walk.

Then all the inside and outside of the city walls were dyed pure black.

It looks quite weird.

Muto and Sangis, who had never seen such things, called their subordinates to tell them not to go down the city walls, so that they would not be attacked by the enemy.

This is also a normal reaction.

Although it seems weird to sprinkle liquid like this, if you go down the city tower, you will give up the city defense.

Without city defense, relying on the defense of the alleys in the city is nothing.

They themselves didn't believe that they could resist killing the 20,000 elite Persian soldiers.

At this moment, all the hot air balloons around the city wall threw down burning fireballs from above.

"Bang!"

A burning bottle fell on the city wall, and the flames splashed everywhere, and the surroundings were "booming" and burning.

"Smack sex..."

In a short period of time, thousands of hell cocktails were thrown on top of the city wall and under the city wall.

With the cheers of the Hell cocktail, the flames spread rapidly and were covered with black toxic smoke. You can see from a distance that the entire Cheshi Dongcheng seemed to be swallowed by black smoke.

“Ahhhh…”

The screams of complex screams were endless.

It was not just one person screaming, but hundreds of soldiers screaming.

All the soldiers, whether they were above the city wall or behind the female wall hiding under the city wall, were engulfed by the spreading flames.

Even if he was moving quickly, he fell down directly by the black smoke, and gradually he disappeared.

The group of people outside the city were stunned and creepy.

The Tubo soldiers were a little excited in fear.

The nobles were trembling all over.

They have never seen such a terrifying siege mode before.

Looking at the thick black smoke and the firelight soaring into the sky, and listening to the constant screams inside, they seemed to think they were watching the eighteen levels of hell.

Wei Lizheng finally understood what Ouyang Jian said just now.

"They are preventing people in the city from running away."

Thinking of this sentence again, Wei Lizheng felt that every hair of his hair was trembling and screaming in horror.

Such an attack and such a method should not appear in the world at all!

"If Dakang uses this model to attack cities or camps in the future, where can anyone guard it?" Wei Lizheng murmured to himself, "It's really... so cruel!"

"fine."

But Ouyang Jian said so.

Wei Lizheng was surprised again, "Do you think it's okay if you burn seven or eight thousand people to death like this?"

"yes!"

Ouyang Jian nodded, "I originally thought they were going to burn the entire city, just like last year when they burned more than 70,000 Japanese pirates in Wencheng City, Zhejiang! It was also like they burned more than 20,000 Wei troops in Jinzhou City!"

"hiss……"

Wei Lizheng took a breath of air conditioning, "So this is it! So that's it!!"

I have heard of these two battle examples before, and he has also carefully studied them, but has never imagined what they look like.

Now we can finally connect imagination with reality.

"So they just burn the city walls without burning the entire city, which is considered to be a bit conscience and bottom line." Ouyang Jian said: "So such people are worthy of your relationship, Your Highness, and you don't have to worry about them being cruel and refusing to recognize their relatives."

Wei Lizheng shook his head, with all kinds of emotions in his eyes, but he couldn't speak.

Liu Mingjing was also asking the boy at this time, "Mingqi, if they all escaped to the city, wouldn't we have wasted so much tincture oil?"

"No, at such a high temperature, the city wall made of stones will be burned into mud and collapsed." Liu Mingqi said: "The city walls have been burned down, so what else can they rely on? After entering the city and hiding in the fortress, they will throw in wooden grenades and hell cocktails, and then kill them directly when they come out to fight... What's the difficulty?"

"That's right."

Liu Mingjing smiled.

In short, you don’t have to panic when following Liu Mingqi.

He has so many tricks, it is endless.

If anyone is his enemy, he will be in trouble for eight lifetimes.

...

The fire burned for two hours before it gradually went out.

When the smoke completely dissipates, what is presented to everyone is a completely black city wall.
To be continued...
