1383 Kerosene

The staff officer knew that this was not good. Once these Qing troops broke through the city gate, everything he did was in vain! I am afraid that the city would not be able to be saved! So he immediately squeezed into the crowd and kept shouting loudly, letting the soldiers withstood! When the soldiers saw him, they actually raised their spirits and pushed them back!

After the staff officer rushed into the city gate with the city wall, he knew why these soldiers were beaten back step by step, and why they could withstand it?

Because the Qing army rushed in front of the two Baibayalas! Guanning soldiers naturally knew how powerful these Baibayalas were. They had already weakened their legs when they saw them, let alone fighting them!

They were able to persevere until now because there were a few war horse corpses on the ground. The corpses of these war horses were left by the Qing army who died in battle. After they were killed, the war horses were stabbed to the ground. Then the Guanning soldiers simply dragged the war horse corpses together and formed a small barricade.

They had to survive until now with the corpses of these war horses! Otherwise, the Qing army would have been rushing out of the city gate long ago. After all, those Baibayalas were quite sharp in the rushing formation!

The staff officer couldn't help but feel desperate when he saw this situation! He was not a brave figure himself. Moreover, Shandong soldiers did not emphasize personal courage, so the role he rushed forward was not as great as that played by Guanning soldiers. So he could only try to find another way!

Just as he racked his brains to think, he smelled a scent of tinder oil! Then he discovered the source of the smell. It turned out that when a war horse fell down, it crushed the oil bag on his body, and the tinder oil flowed all over the floor!

When he saw the tincture oil, the staff officer was overjoyed! He immediately shouted loudly: "Puncture the tincture oil bags under your feet! Hurry up!"

Hearing his words, both the Qing army and the Guanning army looked down at the ground. Everyone instantly understood the intention of the staff officer! The two Baibayalas who rushed in front immediately roared and rushed forward, trying to drive the Guanning army farther away!

The Guanning soldiers desperately used their spears to press against their shields, and other Changqiangs kept provoking to stop them from moving forward.

A clever person poked all the turmeric bags into pieces in just a few strokes.

The seven dead war horses were carrying 14 bags of turmeric oil on their bodies. Once the leather bag was pierced, the turmeric oil immediately flowed out of the city gate. The Qing army was even more anxious when they saw this situation and rushed upwards! When Guanning Army had hope, they tried their best to block them!

Taking this opportunity, the staff officer took out a match from his pocket and lit it, and threw it on the tincture oil not far from his feet! However, the tincture oil extracted by the Qing army was too poor in quality, and the lit match was actually flooded by the tincture oil!

Just when the staff officer was at a loss, a Guanning soldier stretched out a torch. The torch turned out to be inserted into the iron ring in the city gate. It looked like it was covered with mud, and it must have been knocked to the ground during the fight just now.

The staff officer understood what this soldier meant. He immediately pinched several matches together, lit them hard, and moved the flame closer to the torch. After a moment, the torch finally started to burn!

The soldier grinned and threw the torch at his feet. The flames and the tinder oil came into contact with each other, and after a moment the tinder oil finally started to burn!

This soldier obviously had some hatred with the Qing army. He watched the flames spread at the feet of both sides with a happy look on his face. Not only did he not escape, but just as everyone was retreating, he snatched a spear and rushed into the flames!

The area where the tincture oil flows is very large, occupying almost half of the city gate hole. But the Qing soldiers knew that it was not difficult to cross this flame!

In fact, every soldier is armoured, and these flames cannot create much danger to them. Especially when the flames just rise, they are more likely to pass through the flames.

But just when the Qing army mustered up the courage to cross the flame, they were blocked by a man in the flame! He danced his spear like a windmill, and everyone was even sure that it was the only time he showed the highest level of martial arts in his life!

He was not defensive at all, but just tried his best to stab anyone close to him! He did not retreat until the flames burned completely on him, but instead advanced with great strides!

The two Baibayalas were forced to take a few steps back by the flames. They stomped their feet hard and extinguished the burning flames on their boots.

He said in unison: "Crazy!"

But when they were still in shock, the Guanning soldier who had become a fireman, rushed towards them with flames all over his body! Although he was covered in flames and could not see his face, the brave scene was amazing!

His appearance scared the Qing soldiers backwards one after another! But the two Baibayalas stood firmly! But the two of them were also shocked and angry!

However, the people who can become Baibayala have a lot of experience in formation battles. They are not afraid of this soldier covered in fire. One of them tacitly blocked him with a shield, and the other Baibayala directly cut the big knife in his hand on the neck of the fire man!

A stream of blood spurted out, and the soldier, covered in fire, separated his body and fell to the ground and stopped moving. But the flames on his body burned even more fiercely!

After his blockade, the fire in the city gate had completely spread! The smell of burning flesh, the smell of cloth, and the smell of tinder oil itself filled the city gate, and the thick smoke rising after the hair of the war horse was burned, forcing everyone to retreat step by step! In the end, both sides had to withdraw from the city gate!

The staff officer also followed the crowd and retreated out of the city gate. As soon as he came out, he stomped his feet desperately and extinguished the flames on his boots with sand. The pants and boots of other Guanning soldiers were burned around him, but no one was killed or injured except the brave soldier!

The staff officer looked at the soldier still burning in the fire and asked in a low voice: "What's his name?"

A veteran said, "He is Wang Quanyou. His hometown is from Liaoyang. The whole family died at the hands of the Tartars, so he joined the army! But unexpectedly..."

When the veteran said this, he laughed helplessly. The staff officer knew what the veteran meant. In the Guanning Army, there were definitely many people who had a blood hatred with the Qing army! But now Wu Sangui led his people to join the Qing army, which was a huge blow to them!
