C3

There were a total of five gates to the Phoenix City gate at the border of the city. The gate in the middle was either not opened personally or not opened during the war, and the main gates were for the east and west. Many people from the Phoenix City had even forgotten that there were two city gates at the corner of the Phoenix City Pass known as the eastern and western small gates respectively.

These two doors were normally used to travel by water and excrement, so they were not opened during the day. Coupled with the fact that the two doors were by the side of the mountain, not many people knew about them. Since the people of this city didn't know much, the enemy knew even less about these two doors. And this time, Kong Sheng was leading the surprise attack precisely using these two city gates.

Fire Phoenix Army flowed out from the east gate in a row, forming a line with the three riders, as though a sharp blade had pierced straight into the camp of the troops behind the enemy lines. The enemy did not expect that within the Phoenix City that they had forcefully withstood for eight days, there would still be such a heavy cavalry, and the number of soldiers on the battlefield was mostly light infantry. To these Knights, whose entire bodies were wrapped in steel plates, ordinary leather armour and cloth armor was nothing but a joke!

This group of Knights were the elites chosen by the empire's layers. Their combat skills were exceptional and well-equipped, and they did not even put the Demonic Beast in their Demonic King Valley in their eyes, let alone this bunch of ordinary humans in front of them. Furthermore, cavalry was originally the nightmare of the infantry, other than those heavy infantry who were dressed in clothes heavier than these heavy cavalry, the rest of the light infantry would just rush up and attack the stone with their eggs!

Fire Phoenix Army burned like a line of fire towards the enemy's rear lines. Following the sound of the horn, the enemy also began to make their preparations. The heavy infantry in front could not move, and could only use the heavy infantry at the back as a reserve to move towards the Fire Phoenix Man-at-arms. At the same time, he ordered the archers to gather quickly, although the crossbows in their hands were useless to these iron fellows, it was still better than nothing, as they could at least fire at their mounts. As long as this lump of iron fell from the horse, he would not be able to get back on his own. It would really be worse than a pheasant waiting to be slaughtered.

Kong Sheng rushed to the front of the line, while thrusting his spear towards Devil Kingdom Soldier who was rushing forward fearlessly, he raised his head to look at the enemy lines behind them, the flags there were already in a mess, there were continuously rows of soldiers moving, creating layers and layers of obstructions in front of him. Just then, someone from behind shouted, "Lord Kong! The red flag at the top of the city wall moved! "

Kong Sheng turned his head to look at the city tip of Phoenix City Pass. As expected, there were two red banners waving about. These were his and Zhao Handong's secret signal, and once the flag moved, it meant that the time was right.

Kong Sheng watched as the red flag was waved a few times, then he suddenly raised his left hand. Following the shout, he took the lead to turn the horse around and gallop towards the west. Before the entire row of Fire Phoenix Army changed to the left, he made a big turn right behind Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng continuously ordered, "Fire! "Fire!"

Hearing the order, the knights hung their steel spears back onto their saddles, pulled out fist-sized jars from their waists and ruthlessly threw them towards their left and right sides. The jar was only made of rough clay and was not very strong in the first place. With such a forceful smash, it immediately broke into pieces, leaking out oil all over the floor. Not long after stopping for a while, the fat started to spontaneously combust, and one by one the small flames formed a line of fire. The fat was not easy to extinguish, so wherever the Fire Phoenix Army passed, there was a sea of fire.

If the Fire Phoenix Army from before was like a sharp blade piercing towards the enemy's heart, then now that the sharp blade had turned, it became a line of fire. Like a hot knife cutting through butter, it forcibly cut the enemy and the rear part of the formation into two.

After throwing the oil cans in his hands, Kong Sheng picked up his spear once again and pinch the horse's abdomen with his legs, he changed his direction and rushed out of the west small door. They rode out from the east gate and entered from the west gate. They circled the enemy army in a large arc and used a wall of fire to cut them in half.

Even so, Devil Kingdom Soldier did not panic. The rear line continued to press forward, reinforcements coming from the two flanks without fire, and the soldiers at the center of the wall of fire began to pick up the soil on the spot, preparing to extinguish the flames. And at this moment, the sound of drums rang out from the top of the city wall. The soldiers of the Phoenix Army who had been bitterly resisting behind the walls suddenly launched a counterattack, and hundreds of large vats were pushed off the city walls and smashed into the ground.

One of the Devil Kingdom Soldier s subconsciously smelled the liquid that was on her head and her expression instantly changed. She shouted at her companions, "kerosene! It's the kerosene! "

That's right, it was the kerosene again.

A moment later, flames started to rise from the broken big vat. The ground was filled with Devil Kingdom Soldier s and the fire burned their bodies and faces. All the people below the city walls were screaming in terror. The soldier whose body was on fire ran around in panic, hoping that his comrades would help him extinguish the fire, but the fire itself was made from oil, it was not easy to extinguish. On the contrary, the fire was ignited more and more as he moved back and forth and threw himself into the fire. The light infantry in cloth armour were fine, at least they could run, jump, roll around and extinguish the fire. The heavily armored heavy infantry was unlucky. At this moment, his metal armor had turned into a hot pot that couldn't be removed, flung aside, or run away. He couldn't even kill himself, and could only moan miserably in despair.

Just in terms of lethality, this flame was more than a hundred times stronger than the one Kong Sheng had just used!

At the same time, Kong Sheng, who had already entered West Small Gate, led his Fire Phoenix Army and once again rushed forward, piercing straight into the siege soldiers. Their goal this time was very clear, it was to take advantage of their chaos to take their lives! Using the horse's speed to stab the steel spear, Kong Sheng immediately changed his blade from his spear to his blade. His shining long blade danced like a ball of snow, every swing bringing with it a pool of blood.

Under the lead of the main general, over a hundred Knights of Fire Phoenix Army worked together, slashing with spears, stabbing with sabers, and even kicking their horses.

At this time, reinforcements had already come from both sides as they surrounded them, and the fire line in the middle had already been extinguished. The Devil Kingdom Soldier s below the city walls no longer looked anxious, they started to retreat under the order of the officers, hoping to leave the sea of fire before starting the battle anew. If they waited for these two to meet, then the fate of these hundred plus heavy-armored knight s would only be one!

Kong Sheng threw away the blade in his hand, which had been cut open. He let out a whistle from his mouth, and rushed towards the east gate. At his command, the knights did not linger in battle, abandoning the enemy in front of them, and galloped at full speed towards the Little East Gate.

How could the Devil Kingdom Soldier let them escape? handheld crossbow s, pikes, and scimitars rained down upon everyone. Just after this wave, more than a dozen Fire Phoenix Army Knights fell to the ground, their bodies stabbed into the slits of the armor by the Devil Kingdom Soldier s who were rushing towards them, and died on the spot.

Just then, Zhao Handong's reinforcements arrived. On the city wall, a row of soldiers holding bow decked with horn of an animal s stood up, all of them pulling their bows and releasing their arrows, all of their arrows were lit on fire, the rockets had landed on the ground and started to light up the kerosene s that were not ignited previously, creating a wall of fire behind Kong Sheng and the rest, stopping the Devil Kingdom Soldier from surrounding the heavy cavalry, allowing all of the Fire Phoenix Army Knights to escape successfully.

These kerosene were the "trump cards" that Kong Sheng and referred to. This was a method that Kong Sheng had unintentionally discovered. He mixed a sufficient amount of phosphorous powder into the grease, and when the oil seeped into the ground, the powder would automatically ignite the oil upon contact with the air and ignite the grease again. The oil was already easily flammable, and with the addition of it seeping into the ground, it would be even more difficult to save in a short period of time. If it was ignited on a person's body, it would result in either death or injury.

This method worked quickly and had good effects, but it was extremely difficult to prepare. If one could not master it properly, they would first burn themselves and be injured. In the end, he told Zhao Handong that unless he had no other choice, he would absolutely not use this method.

Previously, when the city was about to fall, the two of them had no choice but to use this item. At the same time, Kong Sheng led his Fire Phoenix Army cavalry to separate themselves, and then Zhao Handong set fire to the ground beneath the city, forcing them to retreat.

When Kong Sheng got off the horse, it was as if he fell. After he took off the heavy armor, all of his clothes were completely drenched. He did not care about anything else and grabbed one of the city guards and asked, "What's the situation outside the city?"

The soldier knelt on one knee and replied loudly, "My Lord, the enemy troops have retreated! Congratulations on your unparalleled military exploits! "

Kong Sheng smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: "There are only these few kerosene, as long as the Demon Army Commander organizes another attack, this Phoenix City Pass will probably be broken!"
