In Zhuoliu's opinion, there was only so much kerosene, and even though the weather had been fine recently, it was spring after all, and the weather was much more humid. It was impossible for it to burn all at once, right? !

Besides, there is always smoke rising to the sky. They set fire to themselves on the top of the mountain. Aren’t they afraid of suffocating themselves to death?

It must have been a panic-stricken arson.

This is his chance!
Thinking of this, Zhuoliu and his men rushed faster.

But people forget that if there are dead branches and weeds, they can mix charcoal and sprinkle saltpeter powder on them.

Even without sulfur, saltpeter, which serves as a combustion aid, can still be burned in an instant.

When the muddy current reached halfway up the slope and he suddenly felt heat waves all around him, he looked around and couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Fires were spreading all around, and there were billowing smoke and people coughing everywhere.

A fire started.

In addition, the wind has been from the northeast recently.

They rushed too fast and suddenly got to the front, and their retreat was completely blocked by the flames. For a moment, everyone was frightened.

"Keep charging, there won't be any problem if you kill them all!"

Zhuoliu took a look at the mountain road. As long as they rushed up, there would be a bare hillside in front. Once they got there, they could start their operation!
Without suspecting anything, the crowd followed the turbid current and rushed to the isolation zone halfway up the mountain.

"Shoot!" On the top of the mountain, Liwu, waving a feather fan, waved his hands and immediately waved the flags left and right.

After a while, a group of people rushed out from the top of the mountain, drawing their bows and arrows.

The Shang soldiers deployed halfway up the mountain. After all, the mountain path was narrow, so it might be okay for three or two to walk together, but if there were too many people, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

The cleared isolation zone is just enough for people to stand.

But the isolation zone was built along the shape of the mountain, so when the Shang soldiers rushed up, they would spread out along the isolation zone.

Even if they held up shields, it was difficult to hide the people who kept coming out and moving from behind.

shhhhh--

People were shot down continuously, and their screams affected the morale of the Shang soldiers, but fortunately they were not afraid.

Because they have armor, they can defend against a large number of attacks.

Because of this, the muddy current also came up, and looking at the back of the isolation zone, it was specially cut out to look like a gourd mouth.

The mountain road gradually narrows from the isolation zone upwards, and then suddenly opens up again at a distance of twenty meters.

This created a second isolation zone.

The branches of the trees in these isolation zones were all broken, leaving only bare trunks.

Whether you look from the bottom up or from the top down, you can see everything at a glance.

"Keep charging! Victory belongs to us!" Zhuoliu urged again. Several warriors looked at each other and rushed up without saying anything.

They rushed forward and the follow-up followed.

But as the stumps become narrower, their movements will become increasingly sluggish.

"So... throw stones and roll logs!" Liwu gave the order again on the top of the mountain.

The tree trunks left behind from the logging zone were stripped of their branches, leaving behind their round bodies, which were then thrown down the hillside.

With two loud rustling sounds, the Shang warriors who rushed to the front found it difficult to face the rolling logs even with their shields raised.

Not to mention that even if they raised their shields to throw the rolling log backwards, the log would still crash into the gradually widening hillside and knock down more people who were unable to react.

As long as one person falls, a group of people behind him will be knocked down.

Liwu calmly watched the turbid current roaring over there, but more and more Shang people were retreating, and the atmosphere behind the isolation zone was gradually getting hotter.

Huhu——

Liwu raised his head slightly, and the wind direction on the watchtower changed from northeast to east.

And the intensity began to increase. The flames burned completely! The climate in the mountains was about to change!
"Li!" Liwu shouted to Li Gui.

"What's the matter?" Li Gui came hurriedly, his face covered with sweat and his body trembling.

Trembling with excitement!

When he was a child, he witnessed the invincible posture of the Shang warriors during the rebellion of the Shang people.

But now, even the invincible Shang warriors have also met the end of their legend!

In just a short while, at least a hundred Shang soldiers were injured, and they have not lost a single soldier so far!
What a tactic! What a powerful strategy!
"The fire has started. To survive, these merchants must charge forward with all their might. Be prepared for heavy casualties! Guard the front line, and the rest will follow me to retreat. Hide in the cave, wet the face towel, and wait for the enemy to attack."

Liou finished.

"Hey! Leave it to me!" Li Gui did not doubt him and immediately rushed to the front with his men.

Soon, the defense change was completed.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" At the same time, halfway up the hill, Zhuoliu turned around in horror and saw a scene that he would never forget.

Behind him, there was raging flames and smoke. More and more people were squeezed onto the isolation belt because of the heat.

And no one dared to come up from the back.

The two sides were completely divided into two quarters.

"Zhuoliu, what should we do next?" Zhuoliu's relatives came to ask, but just as he finished speaking, a terrified voice came again: "Downhill... Quickly notify downhill, the left wing, there are enemies rushing over from the left wing!"

Zhuoliu looked to the left wing.

Suddenly, they saw a team with the Pi flag, with only about fifty people, rushing to the rear of the panicked crowd, and then, with the clamor and roar of drums, they dispersed the troops that had been assembled with great difficulty.

It's all over once we disperse.

Everyone was running away, and no one cared about the muddy current.

The flames directly cut off the front and back, and also cut off the way of survival.

"Go up! Only if we rush up, we can have a chance to survive!" Zhuoliu knew that the top of the mountain was the hope.

"The fire is spreading, run!"

There were more screams. Without even saying anything, they rushed to the top of the mountain.

Then, in the narrow space, they endured the constant impact of stones and rolling logs, screaming.

Finally, someone rushed up.

Then at the top of the mountain, bows and arrows were fired, and when they got close, long wooden poles were used to stab people. Using the slope, they were able to knock them down from above.

If they fell, more stones and arrows would be waiting for them, and the number of casualties was increasing.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect fighting to be so easy!" Li Gui laughed wildly. This was definitely the easiest battle in his life.

However, no matter how easy it was, the Shang soldiers were professional elites after all, and many of them were trained by aristocrats who had left their jobs.

Practicing since childhood has always been a brain-twisting business for the people. They quickly regained their composure from the panic, rushed out at the first opportunity, and fled to the two wings.

Because there were many soldiers on the top of the mountain, they needed to make fires and build camps every day. In fact, most of the trees surrounding the top of the mountain have become bare tree trunks or simply stumps.

As long as we disperse, we can disperse the density of their attacks to a great extent, and we will have a chance to survive.

So once one person does it, others will follow suit.

Soon, although the second isolation zone was filled with people, it also allowed a hundred or so Shang warriors to gain a foothold.

Zhuoliu also rushed up, with several arrows in his body, but his expression was still terribly cold.

He raised his head, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Divide into three groups. If one falls, another will be replenished. Kill them all at once! They don't have much left!"

Seeing the formation below quickly split apart, Li Gui couldn't help but smack his lips: "Is this Li Wu connected to a ghost? He can even calculate the enemy's formation? Quick! Retreat, remove the planks, and reveal the trap.

Then notify your subordinates to move half of the boiling water to the drainage ditch and listen to my orders!" (End of this chapter)
