Chapter 295 Zhang Han: Aren’t you afraid of getting burned?
Chi!Chi!Chi!
Tianxuan, Liu Ji, Zhou Bo and other generals stood on the city wall to watch the battle, occasionally exchanging a few words, and did not take the Western Regions coalition army seriously at all. Outside the city, the 10,000 Qin troops led by Li Shang, Chen Ping and Fan Kuai also faced the Western Regions coalition army.
When the two armies were a hundred feet apart, the Western Region coalition forces fired sparse arrows. However, the scattered arrows were like kites without a lead, floating in the sky for a moment before falling to the ground. What's worse, the arrows were disturbed by the cold wind and rolled back and fell into the coalition forces.
Fifty feet!
Forty feet!
Thirty feet!
When the two armies were thirty feet apart, Li Shang, the commander of the 10,000 Qin troops, fiercely lowered his arm. As his arm fell, the Qin soldiers who were ready to go, pulled the triggers of their crossbows at the same time, and with a crisp sound, nearly a thousand crossbow arrows intertwined into an impenetrable rain of arrows, like the might of heaven, shooting towards the Western Region coalition.
puff!puff!puff!
The Western Region coalition army, which had poor discipline, was unable to dodge the fierce rain of arrows. When the arrows fell, clusters of dazzling blood burst out. There were also shouts and wails in different languages that broke through the air.
"Help!"
"Back off, everyone back off!"
"No!"
……
In an instant, the morale of the Western Regions coalition, which was originally high, or rather ignorant and fearless, was destroyed by a wave of arrows from the Qin army. Many people retreated while screaming in their native language. On the other hand, the Qin army did not stop its actions after telling this "Eight-Nation Alliance" which was not worthy of its name, with a wave of fierce arrows.
Dense and rain-like arrows continued to interweave in the sky, pouring down mercilessly on the Western Region Allied Forces, as if to end the 'Eight-Nation Alliance' with arrows!
"Damn it!"
"hateful!"
"Amazing!"
……
The monarchs of the eight countries, including the Queen of Jingjue, did not join the battlefield. Instead, they stayed behind their assembled army, surrounded by hundreds of their most elite guards. Seeing that the momentum of the attack was blocked and their subordinates were blocked by the Qin army's arrows and could hardly advance, they cried out in pain.
The monarchs of the eight countries felt both distressed and helpless.
"Everyone, please be patient."
Although they were going to war, the Queen of Jingjue still stayed in the luxurious sedan chair and did not show up. Hearing the angry and heart-wrenching words of the other seven kings, the Queen of Jingjue, who was lying on the special sedan chair with an attractive curve, smiled charmingly and said, "I'm prepared!"
Brush and pull!
Following the words of the Queen of Jingjue, the monarchs of the seven countries, who were deeply saddened by the casualties of their subordinates, all changed their expressions, turned their heads in unison, and cast their gazes on the wooden boxes behind the sedan chair of the Queen of Jingjue.
Although the monarchs of the eight countries said that they did not take Tianxuan, the great Qin Wu'an Jun, seriously, they did not dare to underestimate him. Especially the leader, the Queen of Jingjue, brought hundreds of sealed wooden boxes. Although no one knew what was inside, everyone knew that it was definitely not a simple thing.
Oh oh oh!
After reminding the other seven monarchs, the Queen of Jingjue in the sedan chair placed a long flute to her lips, pressed the flute with ten fingers, and blew it. The flute sound, which was choked with sobs and full of endless sorrow, echoed in the darkening night sky.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
As the Queen of Jingjue played her flute, more than a dozen wooden boxes that had been silent started to stir. It seemed as if demons were imprisoned inside, and they could not wait to show up in the world as the night approached.
Click!
As the Queen of Jingjue played the flute, more than a dozen people emitting strong smells ran out from the Jingjue guards who were guarding her sedan chair. They came to the side of the wooden boxes and opened the sealed boxes with single knives, long swords and other tools.
Zizizi!
As the lid of the box opened, the wooden box fell to the ground, and the things inside appeared.
There were actually strange snakes with red light surging all over their bodies and a black tumor on their heads. At first glance, they looked like eyes. Countless strange snakes were entangled together, which was extremely terrifying. Such a scene was reflected in the eyes of the people around. Many people who were not afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants still felt their scalps numb and swallowed their saliva.
Oh oh oh!
There were dozens of wooden boxes, and each box contained dozens of strange snakes. If all the strange snakes in the boxes were released, there would be at least hundreds of them. The Queen of Jingjue had the means to control these strange snakes. The flute sound fluctuated, and after hearing the unique flute sound, many strange snakes gathered together and turned into a huge snake army, swimming towards the battlefield hundreds of feet away at an incredible speed.
"what!"
"Snake, there's a snake!"
"It hurts!"
……
The snake army moved at an incredible speed and joined the battle soon. At this time, the Queen of Jingjue seemed to be exhausted, and the sound of the flute that controlled these strange snakes suddenly stopped. Without the guidance of the flute, the many strange snakes smelled the smell of blood and flesh around them and could not distinguish between enemies and friends. One by one, the strange snakes raised their bodies, flicked their heads forward, and bit their prey with their fangs. The poison of the strange snakes was extremely strong. If bitten by it, the snake venom would spread throughout the blood in an instant.
Some unlucky members of the Western Region Allied Forces were accidentally bitten and only had time to scream before they lost their lives with expressions of horror and panic.
"It's not that simple!"
When the Qin army was attacked by the strange snakes, the Western Regions coalition was still ten feet away from the Qin army. Dozens of strange snakes broke through this distance and rushed into the Qin army formation, biting dozens of Qin soldiers to death. After some people were bitten, their companions drew their knives in time to cut off the strange snakes and take the snake gall to cure their companions.
However, after being cut into two parts, the half of the snake body with the head still jumped up from the ground and bit the Qin army.
When Chen Ping saw this scene, he felt how difficult it was to deal with this strange snake and how deadly its poison was, and a solemn expression appeared on his face from the bottom of his heart.
"All troops retreat, light the kerosene!"
As soon as the words of emotion came out, Chen Ping gave the order without thinking.
"Here."
In a short time, nearly a hundred Qin soldiers were bitten to death by these strange venomous snakes. Of course, these venomous snakes were all chopped into meat paste. However, the army of strange snakes ten feet away seemed to have discovered that there was more fresh blood and flesh here, and kept swimming towards the Qin army. Facing the dense army of strange snakes, the Qin soldiers were a little scared.
As soon as Chen Ping gave this order, a large group of soldiers and horses retreated quickly to the military camp behind them as if they had been pardoned.
boom! boom! boom!
For this battle, the Qin army prepared a large number of water guns filled with water, and nearly a thousand jars of kerosene in wine jars. As soon as the soldiers retreated back to the camp, nearly a hundred jars were thrown out of the camp and smashed to the ground, and the sticky kerosene spilled on the ground.
"Chen Ping is hiding in the military camp and setting fire to it. Isn't he afraid of getting himself burned?"
On the city wall, Zhang Han had already reorganized the soldiers in the city and returned to Tianxuan's side. Seeing Chen Ping ordering people to smash the wine jars containing kerosene, Zhang Han, who was wearing armor, frowned and said in confusion.
Tian Xuan glanced at Zhang Han and said calmly: "Chen Ping is not a fool, he is naturally prepared!"
