To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 245 Fire!

"Click! Click! Click! Click—"

The chilling, heavy clanging of machinery resounded simultaneously on the decks of dozens of giant ships!

Within hundreds of projection slots.

Instead of being filled with boulders, they were filled with specially made "cannonballs" containing raging oil and countless pieces of iron!

All the launch trajectories were locked onto that narrow valley entrance on the shore!

Everything is ready, but murderous intent is at its peak!

Mo Feng ripped off his outer robe and roared at the top of his lungs:

"fire!!!"

"Fire at me!!!"

……

at the same time.

On the shore, in the retreating Qin army formation.

Zhang Fan rode his warhorse, his gaze sweeping across the rear.

The army had already moved out of the planned blast radius!

Tian Gan's three thousand men charged out of the valley like mad dogs, completely exposed to the open ground with no cover.

"The prey has fallen into the trap."

Zhang Fan's lips curled slightly upwards, and he suddenly pulled on the reins, shouting sharply:

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"Halt! Form ranks!"

In an instant!

Two thousand black-armored elite soldiers obeyed orders without question, forming a black steel Great Wall.

They quickly established a foothold at the boundary between the beach and the grass.

"Archers, prepare!"

Upon hearing this military order!

The soldiers in the Qin camp, who had just been feeling incredibly aggrieved, instantly turned red in the eyes!

The frustration of retreating vanished, replaced by extreme fervor and excitement!

The military law of the Qin Dynasty dictates rank and title based on merit!

What kind of savages are charging at us from the other side?

Those are clearly walking military merits!

It's fertile land!

It's a title!

It is the path to heaven that brings glory to one's ancestors!

"Splash—"

The armored soldiers in the front row quickly knelt down and raised their shields, while the archers and crossbowmen behind them instantly drew their bows and nocked arrows.

Wang Li suddenly drew his long sword from his waist, his eyes bloodshot, and roared as he gave the order:

"Wind direction! Southeast!"

"Forty-five degrees of elevation!"

Seeing that the enemy had already charged within an arrow's reach, Wang Li swung his longsword down suddenly.

"put!!!"

Om-! ! !

The snapping sound of the vibrating bowstring created a series of chilling sound waves!

Countless Qin arrows instantly transformed into a black cloud, whistling through the air as they rained down upon the three thousand Japanese pirates!

at this time.

Tian Gan, who was leading his men in a frenzied charge, saw that the Qin army in front of him had stopped firing arrows. Instead of being afraid, he showed contempt.

"Hmph! You think you can force me to retreat with arrows?"

"Innocent!"

Tian Gan brandished his bronze sword and roared:

"All troops, raise your shields! Form a tortoise-shell shield formation for defense!"

Although the natives of the Molu Kingdom did not understand much of the Central Plains language, they had practiced this formation for a long time.

Hearing the command!

The three thousand savages raised their heavy wooden shields above their heads, crowding together in layers.

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

The dense barrage of arrows pounded against the wooden shield like a torrential downpour, producing a dull thud.

Although a few screams occasionally rang out, the vast majority of the arrows were blocked by the thick wooden shield!

Hiding in the center of the shield formation, Tian Gan laughed arrogantly:

"Hahaha! The Qin dogs' arrow formation is nothing special!"

"You can't even pierce my wooden shield. Once this volley of arrows is over, your deaths are inevitable!"

however.

Just as Tian Gan was feeling smug, he overlooked a fatal problem.

This impenetrable tortoise-shell shield formation, although it blocked the view ahead and the rain of arrows.

But it also completely blocked their view of the sky!

They didn't see it at all—

In the higher sky, obscured by the rain of arrows.

Hundreds of enormous terracotta pots, trailing billowing black smoke, are slicing through the sky!

It slammed down squarely on their heads!

"Whoosh—Boom!"

The first burning pottery jar crashed heavily onto the wooden shield held up by a Japanese pirate.

The earthenware jar shattered instantly!

The flammable oil inside, mixed with gunpowder and scrap iron, exploded violently upon impact!

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar erupted amidst the dense crowd!

Followed by.

Second shot! Tenth shot! One hundredth shot!

Blinding flames shot into the sky, and a violent shockwave, mixed with fragments of iron, reaped everything in its path!

Those heavy wooden shields were instantly torn to shreds!

The entire position was instantly transformed into a hellish scene of raging fire and boiling oil!

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

Screams, wails, and the sizzling sound of flesh being burned instantly engulfed the entire field!

Tian Gan, who was a little further away from the center of the explosion, was violently thrown to the ground by the scorching blast wave, suffering a head injury and bleeding profusely.

He scrambled to his feet, dizzy and disoriented, his ears ringing.

When he saw the carnage before him, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst!

"What the hell is this arrow?!"

"How could it explode?"

"How could there be such power from heavenly lightning?!"

Tian Gan screamed in terror, his eyes filled with shock and despair.

At this time.

The remaining thousands of Japanese pirates from the Molu Kingdom were completely terrified by the earth-shattering explosion!

How could their uncivilized, primitive tribes have ever seen such a spectacle?

Watching the raging flames descend from the sky, the thunder roar, and his companions instantly reduced to dust.

All the indigenous people believed that this was Amaterasu Omikami's anger, a punishment from the gods!

"Gibberish! Divine punishment! It's divine punishment!!!"

Fear spread instantly!

The morale of the three thousand Japanese pirates completely collapsed at this moment!

They cried out, threw down their weapons and shields, and scattered in all directions to escape for their lives!

"Don't run! No one is allowed to run!!"

Watching the army collapse in an instant!

Tian Gan angrily brandished his bronze sword, even slashing down several deserters, but to no avail.

He knows it all too well!

Once the army collapses and its rear is exposed to the enemy, it will only be slaughtered by one side!

"Return! Assemble the troops immediately!"

"Form ranks! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

Tian Gan roared hoarsely, trying to regroup the routed troops.

however.

In this moment of utter chaos and despair.

"Thump—!"

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—!"

Suddenly, the sound of rousing war drums rang out from the Qin army formation opposite!

The drums thundered, shattering the clouds!

After the bombardment!

Of the original three thousand elite soldiers of the Molu Kingdom, most of them have now been killed or wounded!

The remaining people completely collapsed and fled like stray dogs.

"Stop them! Stop that Qin dog!!"

Tian Gan was disheveled, his face covered in black ash and blood, looking extremely wretched.

He shoved the corpse beside him aside, all traces of his previous arrogance gone.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless!

Without hesitation, he gathered the few dozen elite Yan soldiers he had left, attempting to break through and escape into the dense forest to the side and rear amidst the chaos of the fleeing army!

however.

Zhang Fan's gaze turned cold as he gave the order.

"Advance with the entire army!"

"Three-stage attack tactic, leave no survivors! Strangle them!"

"promise!!!"

Two thousand elite Qin soldiers roared in unison, their battle cries shaking the heavens!

The heavily armored infantry at the front, wielding large shields, pushed forward!
