Chapter 6: The End of Mountains and Waters (8)

Dozens of feather arrows screamed and flew into the sky, drawing out parabola like a bolide.The Liumenshan Cannon used reduced charges and threw out spherical iron bullets sullenly.The low-tech rocket hit the target first, and immediately ignited several mangroves. Red and yellow flames flowed along the aerial roots, like a fire dragon hovering in the forest;

The flowering bomb then got into the woods and either bounced between the trees or fell into the sea with a "puff".After one second, up to two seconds, these shells exploded almost at the same time, and the scorching shock wave rushed to the water surface, not only igniting the high water column, but also easily igniting the thick oil layer floating on the water.

The mangroves burned, and the blazing flames flowed from west to east, and soon the entire vegetation fell into flames.In the beginning, only those oils sang a one-man show. The flames were yellow and blue, just like a full-burning charcoal fire; but this situation did not last long. Breathing roots, leaves, and branches were dried by the fire. Turned into hard fuel, and then involuntarily joined the flame carnival, hot lotus petals appeared all over.

At this point, the evil spirit's hiding place was completely engulfed by the fire.A mangrove tree turned into a large torch, and clusters of breathing roots connected to form a wall of fire in the air. In the areas where the fire was the strongest, the raging fires merged with each other to form a large flame column comparable to the tower of the Buddha.They rotate, translate, and spread happily, devouring the green canopy every minute and every second, using these branches and leaves as nourishment, spraying dazzling fire snakes around.

"This is strength!" The flame column rushed straight into the sky, and the flames danced wildly, thick smoke mixed with red sparks, constantly topping the clouds.The crackling sound of wood cracking seemed to show off proudly to the mortals on the battlefield:

"This is our strength! Don't be convinced, don't admire it!?"

Suo Zhongwu was neither convinced nor admired, but he did not dare to enter the fire scene to argue with the flames.The spreading fire exudes aggressive heat. Although the army is still five or sixty steps away from the woods, his face is still hot. Staring at the pillar of fire for a long time, even his eyes will be painful.The turbulent updraft also caused the air pressure in the center of the fire site to plummet, and the surrounding air immediately passed to fill up, and the strong wind was blowing impatiently on the beach.

The feeling of sand hitting the head is not very comfortable.But the brethren not only had to endure this discomfort, but also had to protect the flintlock cauldron with their hands, and load the ammunition while facing the strong wind.Because the evil spirits finally couldn't hold them, at least a thousand monsters were unwilling to be burned alive, and they began to rush out of the woods under the high temperature, launching a desperate attack on the fire brigade (the name is so ironic now).

The battalions fired volleys or free fire to knock down the monsters in the charge one after another; the artillery used solid bullets and shotguns to shred the hordes of evil spirits directly; some evil spirits that had been burned before, even directed at themselves Out of breath.However, the distance between the enemy and us was too close, and finally a large number of monsters crossed the shallow trench and successfully broke through the bullet and rain.

The shells of shrimps and crabs were roasted red and red, and some of their eyes had melted; the minions of the amphibious beasts were either broken or burned, and the scorched skin peeled off, revealing the pink tender flesh underneath.They had no hope of rescuing, so each of them insisted on hitting to the end, even if they were stabbed by a bayonet, the pliers still struggled to pinch their opponents.

The fire brigade fell into hand-to-hand combat.And it was a long, bloody, stalemate battle that didn't know when it would end.Suo Zhongwu and Zhou Yanhong joined the battle group not long after. Although they were heavily protected by the Cangtou team, the risks were still everywhere. There were always evil spirits sticking to the ground and passing the defense, or simply from the sand. Rush out and shoot at the vital part like a bullet.

The knife and spear greeted the claws, and the sharp impact sounded around the ears; the wounded groaned in pain, mixed with the howls of the evil spirits before death, indistinguishable from each other; the mangroves burned by the fire were planted into the tide and burst out A block of steam... the duration of the hand-to-hand combat quickly changed from a quarter of an hour to half an hour, until it broke through an entire hour.

Suo Zhongwu began to stare at the Venus, his field of vision shrank into a narrow circle, and his brain was even closer to a standstill, causing his skull to burst in pain."Avoid one's own people!" and "Chop over the monster!" He only had these two thoughts clearly, although his mouth was kept open, he could only make meaningless shouts.

Chopping, dodge, block, block, dodge, shoot...In these long cycles, he killed countless black plague monsters, and he was hit many times by demons, calves and thighs. The forearm hurts fiercely, the iron-like breastplate is scratched by the claws, and silver scratches can be seen everywhere.Suo Zhongwu had no chance to rest at all, and the brothers were the same. In fact, the fire brigade had not even commanded smoothly, because everyone was engaged in the battle, and even the auxiliary soldiers rushed up with swords.

It wasn't until the second watch day came that the shouting of killing began to stop.Suo Zhongwu looked around and was surprised to find that the enemies had all fallen down, and the shallow trench filled with corpses no longer had new demons crawling.

The fire in the mangroves has greatly diminished at this time, and it is no longer as bright as a lantern on the 15th of the first lunar month.The initial batch of grease burned clean long ago, and the fire from the trunk and breathing roots also stopped a lot under external intervention: the tide was about to rise to the highest point, and waves continued to fly into the fire, forcing those who ran wildly. The flames are calm.

The fire scene was divided into multiple fragments by waves, and half of the open flames burning wantonly turned into smoldering.The choking black smoke was everywhere, quickly suppressing the gunpowder smoke. Every battalion of the rear soldiers was coughing. In order to cover their noses and mouths with wet wipes, many people used precious fresh water.

Suo Zhongwu was also so exposed, his eyes kept crying.Zhou Yanhong was no better than him, his lungs were almost coughed out, his face was full of snot and tears.If there is a choice, no one will stand here and be scorched by the smoke, but the battle is not over yet, and the fire brigade can only stand still.Each battalion and each team can only assign a group of people to the rear to take care of the wounded and build the main force of the horn-shaped battle formation.

The brethren continued to stay on the beach like this, taking turns to rest until dawn.When Chaoyang jumped out of the water antenna, Suo Zhongwu was awakened by a nightmare. Although he still had a lot of rest time, he didn't want to make multiple trips for a second. He gritted his teeth and got up from the ground.

As Suo Zhongwu slept on the wet sand for three hours, after standing up straight, Suo Zhongwu only felt that his neck was about to break, and the cold air flowed into his heart with his hands and feet. Even the simple movement of raising his arms made his intestines twitch. .
