“With hot oil!”

Lin Ze’s orders were quickly transmitted among the defenders of the city wall, and barrels were transported from the city to the wall.

The scalding liquid swayed inside the barrel, and the huge heat emitted extremely high temperatures, burning the fingers of the soldiers – but the adrenaline rush did not have the time and mind to feel this insignificant pain, and the most important thing in front of them was the local soldier who kept crawling upward.

These guys raised their shields on their heads with one hand, resisted the attack of bows and arrows, stepped on the layers of steps, and crawled up densely, like an ant colony that found an animal carcass, moving up neatly and uniformly, to tear the flesh and skin of the animal called “Imperial Capital”, and break it up and tear it apart.

Suddenly, they felt that the shield did not receive any more impact, could it be that the bow and arrow of the imperial army had finally run out? The warriors of the Western Empire did not have time to think about it and accelerated their pace.

Subsequently, their ears heard the sound of liquid flowing.

Hot oil was splashed from the city wall, and even the shield could not stop the hot liquid from leaving along the surface of the object, dripping on the surface of the skin, making a piercing popping sound, and the skin instantly turned red and grew huge blisters, but the temperature of the hot oil was by no means this, and the nerves under the muscles were also burned and destroyed.

However, the hot oil cooled quickly in the air, only scalding the soldiers at the front, and the others below were lucky to avoid the heat damage.

But the oil flowing down made the steps exceptionally smooth, and the originally narrow steps made it more difficult to support the soldiers’ feet, and more and more people lost their feet and fell.

Several soldiers dubly touched their fingers to the liquid on the steps, wondering what it was.

Immediately, fear filled their faces.

“It’s oil!”

They understand that the oil isn’t just meant to burn them or make stairs slippery.

It is to prepare for the means afterward.

“Retreat, retreat, retreat!”

The soldiers in front shouted heartbreakingly, but the towering siege ladder was crowded with people, and it took a certain amount of time for the information to reach the bottom, not to mention the retreat, the people in front hurriedly retreated down, and the people behind did not hear their words clearly, and they were still crawling upwards, crowded together, and there was infighting at the moment of the original unity, as if the queen of ants gave them different orders, and the previously neat team was lost in chaos.

However, the defenders of the empire are waiting for this opportunity.

They have drawn their bows and aimed their arrows at the enemy.

The fire burning on the arrows revels the evil spirits, cheering for the lives that are about to be devoured next.

“Drop the arrows.”

The temperature was scorching, and the flames released a large amount of temperature, distorting the air and burning the soldiers’ lungs.

But Lin Ze’s words were as cold as the land of the north.

Everyone released their fingers grasping the bowstring at the same time, and at the moment when the tight string burst, the sharp arrow with flame immediately flew out, and the flame was stretched into a straight line.

Then they hit the oil flowing on the siege ladder.

The flames erupted instantly, like a volcano of fury, covering all the siege ladders in the blink of an eye, drowning everyone above it.

The screams covered the sound of the flames burning flesh and blood, and the instantaneous heat shattered their training and courage, and the intense pain of several seconds made their bodies begin to spasm, and their hands could no longer grasp the shield or support the stairs, and they could only fall down uncontrollably.

But the sound of landing is not a pop from the collision of flesh and blood, but just like a light object falling to the ground, not so loud.

They had been killed by the flames before they landed, and the sturdy flesh that had been trained for many years was only charred remains, scattered by the fierce wind.

Some people are even more unfortunate, even if they fall to the ground, they are not dead, the flames on their bodies are still eating their flesh and blood, even if they are desperately rolling and trying to extinguish the fire, but the action does not last a few seconds and has stopped, and they have lost their lives before the flames can find flesh that can continue to burn.

The peeled flesh had also turned black, sticking to the steps of the siege ladder, the smell of blood was completely covered by the scorched smell, and black smoke appeared above the flames, but it could not block the huge light it emitted at all.

It was early in the morning, but the flames lit up the night sky.

The wooden siege ladder has become a huge firewood, carrying raging flames, falling into the army, crushed to death, burned, or trampled to death by their own panicked compatriots, a fate that countless soldiers cannot escape.

A few hours ago, the well-trained blue and white phalanx was now only torn black armor and mutilated flesh and blood.

“Retreat! Fall back! ”

The general of the Western Empire shouted loudly and quickly fled towards the forest with his army, as did the other forces.

This burning wall will definitely not be able to be extinguished for a while, and a temporary retreat now is the right choice.

On the city wall, the soldiers had to be timid when they saw the horrific scene below, although they all had experience in killing the enemy on the battlefield, but such a large-scale war, such a tragic result they had never seen.

The flames on the wall had not yet been extinguished, and the soldiers defending the city looked back at Lin Ze one after another.

And his expression was calm, and the flames raging on the city walls seemed to be just candles that could be extinguished casually. _
