Chapter 363 357. Fire Attack
"Boom!"

Those strange jars were smashed randomly onto wood and stone, and as jars made of clay, they naturally broke at the first touch, and the liquid inside splashed everywhere.

When the burning firewood came into contact with the liquid that was slowly dripping down due to gravity, there was an immediate explosion and then it burst into flames.

A few unlucky Ugo soldiers had just climbed onto the stones and battering rams when they were immediately hit by bottles and jars falling from the mountain, and their bodies were covered with sticky unknown liquid. Then, as the burning firewood fell, their bodies were instantly ignited.

"Ahhhh! Save me, save me!"

The soldier in rattan armor was wailing in pain with his body burning. However, the kerosene and petroleum on his body, combined with the rattan armor that had been pickled in secret oil for forty-nine days, turned him into a fireball like a small sun the moment he was ignited by the flames.

The high temperature caused the rattan armor on his body to shrink, and he was eager to take it off, but it was impossible. Not to mention that the opening of the rattan armor was too small to be taken off because it was burned and shrunk a lot under the high temperature, but what was even worse was that as the heat shrinkage intensified, the rattan armor began to stick to the skin.

The soldiers of the Rattan Armor Army were also human beings, so as the flames burned, the subcutaneous fat began to seep out and merge with the rattan armor that was stuck to the skin due to heat shrinkage. In the process, it "heat welded" the festering skin and the charred rattan armor, making these soldiers who could not die for the time being even more painful.

Those soldiers who were lucky enough not to be burned by the flames naturally did not dare to move forward. We were all clay Buddhas, who could go into the water to save people?

For a moment, everyone had no good idea and could only watch the dancing figures in the flames rolling helplessly on the ground, trying to put out the flames. However, how could so many flammable objects be solved by just rolling around?
Before they could even roll over in vain a few more times, the flames and pain took away their life and vitality, leaving them lying helplessly on the ground, watching themselves burn to death.

"Damn it... Don't worry about these Han people! Break through! There is an exit there!"

When Wutugu saw the tragic deaths of his men, he gritted his teeth, but as the king he immediately realized that this canyon had two exits, southwest and northeast. Now that the way in was blocked, there was still the northeast exit that could be used.

Wutugu immediately led the troops to the northeast exit. Seeing their leader do this, the panicked soldiers of the rattan armor army had no choice but to do as they were told.

But at this time the Han army seemed to have changed. Not only rockets were shot down from the cliff, but also firework arrows that would explode with all kinds of flames. The most deadly thing was that the sparks from these arrows could easily ignite the rattan armor on the soldiers' bodies, which was more effective than ordinary rockets.

Fortunately, there were no Han troops in the valley, so Wutugu and his soldiers barely rushed through most of the way through the narrow gap and rushed towards the exit in the northeast direction.

"Swoosh—crack. Ang-ang-ang—!"

A firework arrow exploded beside Wutugu, causing no substantial damage, but the colorful light and sparks still scared the white elephant under Wutugu.

Wutugu was different from King Mulu. He did not have much affection for the elephant. He only used it as a mount to show off his power. Now that it was no longer obedient, there was no need for him to rely on it.

Wutugu fluently climbed down from the white elephant, letting it run forward in panic. Wutugu then climbed onto a horse that was not frightened, and led his soldiers to continue charging through the Han army's camp filled with straw dummies.

Not far away, the narrow exit was already in sight. However, what made Wutugu and everyone else a little frightened was that the exit had been blocked by the Han army.

The endless Han army was now outside the valley entrance. They were different from the Han army Wutugu had seen before, all of them were dressed in white clothes and armor, most of them were holding various bows and crossbows, and some of them were weapons Wutugu had never seen before.

Moreover, they were so cruel that they prepared trenches, wooden fences and other obstacles to block the valley entrance, obviously not wanting anyone from the Ugo Kingdom to escape.

At this moment, they have already pointed their arrows at the valley. As long as Wutugu and his men dare to charge, the Han army will certainly not show mercy. "Lord, why don't we take advantage of the rattan armor and charge out directly."

Tu'an behind him also saw this scene. Now he could only rely on the advantage of the rattan armor to force his way out against the rain of arrows from the Han army.

Although Wutugu knew that the Han army would not just use ordinary bows and arrows, he seemed to have no choice but to do so.

"My men, we only have one way to survive now. Follow me and charge forward to kill through the Han army's defenses!"

Wutugu's loud shout made the soldiers in rattan armor feel an indescribable sense of sorrow. They shouted and followed their king to charge towards the narrow northeast path.

"ignition."

Suddenly a calm voice came from the Han army, and his order consisted of only two simple words.

However, as the voice gave the order, several Han soldiers holding torches threw the torches into the trench in front of them.

"Whoosh!"

As the air burned violently, the entire path near the Han army was actually on fire.

The Han army replicated the "explosive trench" tactics used in the Battle of Xiangfan that day, digging the trenches in a crooked and very irregular manner, and then filled the trenches with hay and firewood soaked in oil and kerosene.

Just one spark and the entire trench would immediately turn into a maze of fire, and if you were not careful you would be engulfed in flames.

This burst trench also became the last straw that broke the morale of the Wugo soldiers. If they were simply attacking the Han army's formation, they would naturally be brave and dare to charge and fight.

But if they were asked to walk through the wall of fire wearing rattan armor as if it were a suicide mission, they would rather choose to sit there and be killed by the Han army.

"It seems that we are all going to die here today. The Han army is really cruel."

When Wutugu saw the wall of fire that separated life and death rising, he knew that they would probably not be able to escape today.

Wutugu felt a little disappointed. Even if he didn't understand the Han people's military tactics, he could see that the Han people didn't have to do anything. They just needed to slowly spread the fire to their formation, and they would surely die.

"Wu Tu Gu, if you dismount now and surrender, I, the great man, will thank God for his kindness and leave a foundation for your Wu Ge country."

Just when Wutugu was waiting for the Han army to wipe out his group, a voice suddenly rang out from the endless sea of ​​fire, causing Wutugu to look sideways.
