Noble First Daughter-in-law

In an instant, the eyes of everyone present were stained red.

The soldiers climbing on the ladder screamed and rolled down the ladder covered in flames, and the people below were caught off guard and were engulfed by the flames that suddenly spewed out from the trench. They screamed and screamed Rolling all over the ground, some people even lost their feet in panic and fell into the ditch.

The thin layer of soil and twigs and straw spread on the surface of the trench were burned, and everyone saw that in the trench that was almost half as deep and as wide as half a person, there were countless clay pots densely packed.

It's filled with tung oil!

No wonder it was ignited by two rockets, completely blocking their offensive.

The people behind looked at the two tall walls of fire, which directly covered the entire Fufeng City Tower. The ladder was swallowed up, burned down in a short while, and could no longer be used, and their people dared not approach the city wall. Helplessly watching his own people struggle and call for help in the flames.

At this moment, Xue Xian was also stunned.

He traveled across Longxi and fought countless battles. He never thought that Fufeng, who was pushed to the extreme by him, would have this move--I have always seen fire as an attack, but I never thought that there are people who use fire as a defense!
The lieutenants and soldiers around were also panicked at this moment, and hurried forward and said, "General, what should we do?"

"If the fire continues like this, our ladder will be ruined!"

Xue Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Put out the fire!"

The lieutenant general said, "Extinguish the fire? But where did you get the water?"

Although the Xiaolin River is not far behind them, after all, they are so far away, and the water is not easy to come; besides, they are here to attack the city and do not have anything to carry water at hand. Near water cannot save near fire.

What's more, the people on the tower are waiting for them to mess up.

When everyone was in a panic, they suddenly turned around and saw more than 20 long-forgotten water trucks in the crowd!
Isn't there water there?

Xue Xian immediately said: "Hurry up, use the water there to put out the fire!"

In fact, before he shouted, the people around the water tanker had already had this idea, and everyone tried their best to retreat the water tanker towards the gate of the city. Those who ran back and forth also prevented the vehicles from moving forward. Someone in the crowd shouted: "The terrain on the other side of the city gate is low, just let the water out!"

The person pushing the cart understood immediately.

However, after searching for the valve port of the waterwheel for a long time, they couldn't find it. Just when everyone was in a hurry, they suddenly heard a shout, "Get out of the way!"

Everyone looked up, only to see Xue Xian galloping towards him on horseback, and the big knife in his hand waved a sharp arc of light in the air!

Everyone immediately understood, and hurriedly backed away,

Xue Xian rode his horse and flew over, and the heavy Crescent Knife slammed heavily on the corner of the waterwheel. With a "click", the waterwheel was forcibly split open, and sawdust splashed suddenly, and a cool breeze The liquid splashed out from inside and poured all over the faces of the surrounding people all at once.

Immediately afterwards, the water in the waterwheel gurgled out, and in a short while it flowed into a stream on the ground.

Seeing this, the people next to him also imitated him, waving their swords and desperately hacking at the remaining waterwheels. In an instant, several waterwheels were chopped down, and the water inside surged out and gathered together. , rushed towards the city gate.

But at this moment, those people whose faces were splashed by the water reached out to wipe it, but suddenly smelled a strange smell.

"This, this is—"

I don't know it was them, but when the water from more than a dozen water trucks gathered on the ground and flowed under the feet of everyone, more and more people smelled a strange smell.

Xue Xian, who was standing on the horse, suddenly felt a thump in his heart when he saw the appearance of the crowd.

This smell is the same as the smell that wafted out of the trench under the city wall just now!
At this moment, Xue Xian's eyes were red, he turned his horse sharply, and galloped forward while roaring, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, that's—"

It's tung oil!
But before this sentence was finished, the water flowing from the dozens of waterwheels had gathered together and rushed to the foot of the city wall ahead, and at this moment, a little spark was thrown from a burning ladder. , drew a stream of light in the air, and finally, lightly landed in the raging water.

Just hear the "Boom"!
Xue Xian opened his eyes wide, watching a huge ball of flame suddenly explode under the tower.

Immediately, the flame continued to flow upstream along the water flow, during which time it jumped past the feet of those Longxi soldiers who were hurriedly running, as if countless golden fire lotuses bloomed, and a fire lotus swallowed a person, and countless soldiers fell into a trap immediately. In the sea of ​​flames, running and roaring desperately, some people were even instantly engulfed by the flames and turned into coke; but the flames were still not satisfied, and in the blink of an eye, they had climbed back to the side of the waterwheel, and suddenly went up along the gap cut by the big knife one jump -

Boom!

There was another deafening bang.

The waterwheel turned into a ball of fire and exploded with a bang. Countless flames mixed with shattered sawdust pierced the bodies of the surrounding people. Those Longxi troops who had not had time to be swallowed by the flames spreading from the ground were beaten and wailed by this wave of attack. Suddenly, a large group of people fell to the ground.

Xue Xian couldn't believe his eyes.

But all of this, the soaring flames, the waterwheels that burned and exploded one after another, the soldiers who were engulfed by the flames and knocked down by the exploding sawdust, all these scenes happened alive!
Right in front of his eyes!

The burning flames not only engulfed the lives of countless Longxi soldiers, but also burned his sanity at this moment.

Xue Xian stared blankly, and even forgot to react.

Compared with the previous two times, he was almost defeated by Yu Wenye's hands. He never expected that Yu Wenye fell ill, and he thought he was already too weak--in fact, it was indeed so vulnerable that he was almost on the verge of falling. Fufeng City, which is in his pocket, will launch such a desperate counterattack at this last moment.

And one blow is fatal!

Xue Xian suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes looked at the other side of the flame, the slender and weak figure standing on the tall city tower.

At this moment, those eyes, which were also reddened by the flames, looked at the Shura Field below with an exceptionally calm light.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

The flames that just rose from the trench almost enveloped her. Fortunately, Shan Tong'er behind her pulled her away quickly, so that she didn't fall into the same hell as the people below. Now, her strategy has been completely Once it worked, the flames engulfed most of the attacking Longxi army, and those who hadn't had time to retreat were beaten helplessly by the burning and bursting waterwheel, but she felt a strange calmness instead.

Taking another step back, she said in a deep voice, "Dai Junliang!"

But at this moment, his voice was immediately swallowed up by the cheers from around him. Shang Ruyi turned his head, only to find that the surrounding soldiers were all cheering after being shocked by the scene in front of them.

The archers around me, who were still in despair just now, were even more excited at this moment——

"Great!"

"Hahahaha, God help me too!"

"These Longxi troops are doomed!"

Just as everyone was cheering, several trembling figures climbed onto the tower. It was Ma Xu and Song Yu who had just fled into the city in a panic and saved their lives. At this moment, looking at the sea of ​​flames below the city and the cheers of the surrounding soldiers, they were dumbfounded for a moment.

Ma Xu murmured: "Why, there is such a big fire? Aren't we transporting water?"

And the breath floating in the air immediately gave them the answer.

tung oil.

Although they went to the river during the day, they did fill the car with a lot of river water, but half of the water was the tung oil that burned at a touch!
"So much tung oil..."

Song Yu's eyes were stained by the flames, and they were bloodshot, and he almost subconsciously said, "No wonder, no wonder we can't find tung oil—"

Before he finished speaking, Shang Ruyi in front of him looked back at him.

Although just now, he almost felt that he was about to die under the arrow of the general's wife, and he didn't know why she stopped again, but now, before he even had the strength to step forward to question, he was surrounded by another crowd The people who came up squeezed away, and Dai Junliang rushed forward excitedly, and said to Shang Ruyi, "Madam, we succeeded!"

His eyes were almost also reddened by the flames below, but this time, they were blood red from excitement, and the temperature of the flames seemed to ignite his blood.

Only then did Shang Ruyi look away from Song Yu.

"Don't worry,"

Seeing the excited look of the previous generation Junliang, Shang Ruyi calmed down a bit: "It's not time for us to celebrate yet."

Dai Junliang was taken aback: "Then—"

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, let the archers shoot their arrows immediately!"

"...!"

Dai Junliang understood immediately.

Now, it is indeed not the time for them to cheer for victory. Although Xue Xian's men are no longer able to attack, everyone knows that the main force of the Longxi Army has arrived. He has nearly 30 troops, and Fufeng's troops are not enough. , He had beheaded a full 8 people before, and the strength of the two sides is very different. If you don't take advantage of this time to kill the opponent to the greatest extent, as long as you give them a little time to cultivate, and then make a comeback, it is impossible for Fufeng to have the same opportunity as today !
Dai Junliang took a deep breath, and when he looked at Shang Ruyi again, the admiration in his eyes was beyond words.

Before, he was a little surprised at the risk of the general's wife's tricks—according to the two military orders "close the city gates and dig deep ditches" given by Yu Wenye when he fell ill, she asked him to collect tung oil in the city, Most of them were buried in this huge trench dug at the gate of the city, and then the remaining tung oil was poured into more than 20 specially-made waterwheels.

These waterwheels are interlayered, the lower part has been injected with tung oil, and the upper part is used to hold water.

When Xue Xian's ladder to attack the city was swallowed up by the flames from the trench, he was naturally eager to put out the fire with water, and just now he called for gold to withdraw his troops and let Song Yu, Ma Xu and others leave the water cart and enter the city, just to give them the "water" to fight the fire .

Water and oil are incompatible. When the water was released by them, the deadly tung oil also mixed in and gushed out, floating on the water.

Therefore, where the water flows, the flame will burn!

Unexpectedly, this dangerous and extremely vicious strategy would come from the mouth of a woman, and today, at this moment, it has all been realized!

What was even more unexpected was that facing the success in front of him, Shang Ruyi didn't feel the slightest excitement. Instead, he became the calmest among them all. .

She wanted to fight to destroy Xue Xian!

At this time, Dai Junliang's heart also had a boiling fighting spirit. He immediately turned his head and ordered loudly: "Archers, prepare!"

The surrounding soldiers were already boosted by the sudden reversal of the situation. Upon hearing this, they immediately understood that those archers rushed forward just now. But they didn't care at all, resisting the scorching heat and stepped forward, aiming at the Longxi army below who had begun to retreat.

Immediately, the arrows were pouring down like rain!
Those soldiers who had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire, and had not even had time to extinguish the burning flames at their feet, suffered another almost devastating blow. The miserable cries were intertwined and resounded throughout Fufeng County.

Blood once again stained the sky red.

As for Shang Ruyi who watched this scene, the expression on his face and the temperature in his eyes were a little bit colder than before.

Even, when those archers who were already injured and dragged down the tower rushed up the tower again, scrambling to shoot arrows at the Longxi army below who had started to escape from the fire, she silently and slowly withdrew the crowd.

Just as she was quietly watching the crowd shooting arrows at the Longxi Army fleeing under the city tower in high spirits, a gentle voice with a smile sounded from behind.

"Brother and sister, you really surprised me."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

She turned around slowly, and at some point, Yu Wenzhen had walked back behind her from the other side of the tower, still holding the bow that shot through a wall of fire with an arrow just now, and there seemed to be a trace of it on her body. The breath of fire.

However, his eyes were strangely calm.

Those bluish-gray, clear pupils still carried a faint, more unpredictable smile at this moment, quietly looking at Shang Ruyi, as if the killing and struggle ahead were just a thing for him. There was nothingness in the field, he still could only see the person in front of him, silently examining something.

Then, examine this sentence.

And this sentence is not too unfamiliar to Shang Ruyi. When she and Yu Wenye were newly married and they agreed to only be a superficial couple, Yu Wenye had said this to her more than once.

Now, these words came from Yu Wenjian's mouth.

Almost subconsciously, Shang Ruyi was about to say her usual response to this sentence——

We are strangers.

But at the next moment, she stopped, only pondered for a while, and then said: "Brother, is it really unexpected?"
