The canyon, which is about 1,000 meters long and 200 meters wide, is filled with surging crowds. It is as dark as a wriggling dragon, advancing rapidly...
The slaves were holding spears and scimitars, shouting shocking slogans, stepping on the corpses of slaves who died in the battle, with blue blood flowing up to their knees, like a torrent rushing towards the Guards...
The two slave armies charged together, numbering in the millions. Behind them were 30,000 war supervisors, and even they participated in the charge.
5,000 large birds soared into the sky again from the Guards Corps. They reappeared above the charging slaves like a swarm of locusts that covered the sky.
During the break in the battle, they took a short supply break.
The difference from before is that this time they took off, there was an additional soldier on the back of the big birds, and the number of people was changed from the previous three to a combat team of four.
They all carry a large frame on their backs. In the frame are dozens of long strips of cloth soaked in a kind of grease. The size of the cloth is similar to a brick. In addition, on both sides of the big bird, there are also Two oversized bags were hung, which also contained hundreds of long strips of cloth soaked in grease.
The big birds in the sky quickly divided into two columns. One group flew towards the front where the slaves were charging, and the other group flew towards the rear. The front was about 600 meters away from the front where the slaves were charging, almost directly in front of the Guards Corps. Under the nose.
After the two columns flew to the target area, the soldiers on their backs continued to throw pieces of cloth into the canyon. These pieces of cloth extended along the mountain from one side of the canyon to the other, and soon formed a mound about 5 meters high. It is a high wall that cuts across the entire canyon. The two ends of the high wall go up along the cliff of the canyon and are completely integrated with it.
The two high walls that stood in front and behind the slave army tightly blocked the canyon. Together with the mountains on the left and right sides, the two charging slave armies were trapped inside like turtles in a urn.
About 100 meters away from the Guards Corps, two slave armies advanced to the other side of the high wall.
After the wall-building operation was over, more than 5,000 large birds returned to the Guards' camp one after another.
After a while, a flaming arrow roared out from the Guards Corps and flew towards the high wall made of grease-soaked cloth. There was only a sound of "Boom!", which was located in front of the slave army. The high wall was ignited, and the flames soaring into the sky spread rapidly to both sides of the mountain like a raging tongue of fire...
In the blink of an eye, a raging and scorching wall of fire stood between the slave army and the Guards Army. The former was forced to stop charging and stood still looking at the fire surface which was dozens of meters high.
As the violent air currents spread, more than 2,000 large birds soared into the sky from the Guards Corps. On the back of the big birds was a large pot with a diameter of about 1 meter, which was filled with Thick and yellow grease, two soldiers sat on both sides of the pot, carrying a wooden stick on their shoulders, with a rope tied in the middle, and the rope was connected to the pot.
As a flaming red flag fell from the hands of the messenger, the two soldiers on the back of the big bird lifted up with wooden sticks. The pot full of grease tipped over, and the thick and yellow grease resembled small waterfalls. It fell from the sky and poured down on the slaves like a torrential rain.
After dumping the grease, more than 2,000 big birds returned. Soon, another wave of big birds carrying grease rose into the sky. As before, they poured pot after pot of fat on the slaves.
A total of 5 waves of grease dumping operations were carried out, with a total of 1 million

All the slaves were soaked with grease, and the grease under their feet even reached their ankles.
"Swish, swish, swish!" A hail of flaming arrows shot down from the big bird's back. The moment the firelight touched the ground, tongues of flame rose into the sky, and the grease was ignited.
A sea of fire about 1,000 meters long and 200 meters wide appeared. The fire swallowed more than 1 million slaves soaked in grease in an instant. They rolled and screamed, becoming flaming people in the sea of fire.
The flaming arrow clusters in the air were still falling crazily. They were like fire igniting the slaves who were soaked in grease one after another. Some of the slaves who were not engulfed by the fire reacted and ran back as hard as they could. , because the rear has not yet been devoured by the fire, as long as they pass through the high wall composed of long strips of cloth, they will escape.
But it was all a luxury, and the high wall was soaked in grease.
"Swish, swish, swish!" After another burst of flaming arrows, the high wall behind was ignited, and the raging tongues of fire quickly rose into the air. It was like a huge fire dragon blocking the slaves' escape path.
The slaves were completely desperate. They were surrounded by a sea of fire and themselves became fuel in the sea of fire.
The desperate screams, the sound of bones and pieces of flesh being burned, mixed with the sound of tongues of fire dancing wildly, were like the terrifying sounds made by evil spirits from hell, wailing and miserable.
As the grease continued to burn and spread, the entire canyon became a real sea of fire. Waves of fire surged on the ground and tongues of fire danced wildly. The mountains on both sides were also burned red, and even the sky was red.
While the sea of fire was raging, the Guards Corps was not idle. The air force took off again. Some continued to add fuel to the sea of fire, while the other part was shooting crazily with bows and crossbows...
At the same time, the heavy machine troops also entered the battle. More than 3,000 catapults continued to throw fist-sized stones into the sea of fire. Even the javelin troops joined the ranks of the massacre. They held javelins in their hands and kept throwing stones. Sharp javelin.
The massacre lasted for a full five hours, and the entire canyon became a hell on earth.
As the sun set, when the last ray of light was swallowed up by the moonlight, a huge "moon" appeared in the dark blue night sky, and a layer of silver light poured over the canyon.
The air was filled with a pungent and disgusting burnt smell, and dense black smoke gathered in the fiery red sky above the canyon. It was the remnants left by the passing of life, which was so breathtaking. Trembling with fear.
The ground of the canyon was already scorched black, with countless ferocious and twisted bodies huddled together in layers, and more of them gathered into small hills one after another, distributed like hills in the canyon.
In this battle, about 1 million people from the two slave armies were wiped out, and no one survived.
When the two slave armies were fighting with the Guards, the nearly 500,000-strong army led by Lot did not go into battle. First, the terrain of the canyon was limited and could not accommodate such a large number of people. Second, A series of victories made the two slave armies who joined the battle arrogant. They had the first credit for entering Jiye City. How could they give it up to others?
They paid no attention to the remaining military force guarding Jiye City, and Luo De's army was naturally excluded.
In desperation, Lot's army set up camp about 2,000 meters away from the battlefield and waited for the news of victory.
Arrogance and underestimation of the enemy give way to slavery
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The Li army paid a heavy price. Single tactics and lack of coordination between arms were the main reasons why they were defeated thousands of miles away and the entire army was annihilated.
The previous victories benefited from multiple bursts of resistance and unexpected attacks. The spreading war made the Feida army exhausted and overwhelmed. Therefore, the slaves won victory after victory. However, once they encountered an enemy that was skilled in tactics and With a well-equipped regular army, it is not surprising that a single tactic and a rigid style of play soon became apparent, and the entire army was annihilated.
Now, the only large-scale resistance force on the entire Fida planet is the army led by Lot. The disadvantage is that they have encountered the most elite Guards Corps of the empire. The advantage is that they are far away from the empire. The heart of Jiye City is only a short distance away.
On the top of a mountain where the cold wind blew, Lot appeared with a group of guards. He stared at the canyon in the distance that was still smoking black, with sadness and shock etched on his face.
Looking from a distance, hills composed of charred corpses are densely distributed in the canyon, like huge graves, which is really shocking.
Luo De never expected that in just half a day's effort, two armies of more than one million people would be wiped out in an instant. He originally hoped that they could severely damage the Guards Corps, and then he would lead this army to take the opportunity to cover up and march to Jiye City. , In this way, the first credit belongs to him.
But he never expected that these two massive and numerous armies would be so vulnerable to a single blow and end up being wiped out. This really caught him off guard and disrupted his overall plan.
Now, I can only fight alone.
In fact, as early as the beginning of the resistance, Lot had a clear understanding of the fighting power of the slaves and the direction of the entire war situation. To overthrow the rule of the nobles and slave owners, it must be done quickly and must not be given the slightest chance. Breathing time.
Once it is dragged into a protracted war, the other side will quickly prepare its army with financial resources and execution ability. By then, it will only be a matter of time before the fire of resistance is extinguished.
This is the reason why Luo De quickly marched into Jiye City with the two slave armies, but he did not rush in blindly. He knew that the closer to the heart of the empire, the more elite troops would be ushered in.
He used all indirect and direct conditions to always follow the two slave armies in order to avoid a head-on encounter with the elite regular army. His strategy was that when both sides were exhausted, he would become the decisive factor in the outcome of the war. A decisive force can not only expand the results of the battle, seize the first victory, but also establish prestige and trust among the slaves.
It now appears that his strategy was effective, but only half of it.
Under the moonlight, Luo De took a deep breath, and a choking burning smell was inhaled into his nose. He coughed violently a few times, then raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Not far away, a bright light came into view.
It was Jiye City, the capital of the empire, a large city with bright lights and intoxicating prosperity. It represented the prosperity and glory of Feida. Everything there seemed to be a paradise, something that slaves could never reach in their entire lives. The city of charm.
Since he was a child, he could only imagine its luxury in his grandfather's voice, and imagine what its extravagant life would be like.
Even though we are on the same planet, we are still far away.
Now, it appeared in front of him. He could reach the land of his dreams just by crossing the canyon, but the Guards Corps became an almost insurmountable barrier in front of him.
