Chapter 279 Fire is coming

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The warships anchored in the boundary port fired salvos at the proofread angle, and hundreds of artillery fired a deafening roar at the same port.

The hot shells hit the wooden house, and in a blink of an eye it ignited a raging fire. Just one round of artillery fireworks were everywhere in the Border Port.

In the areas where the shells are densest, the fire ignited the house. The jar of black liquid stored in the house was smashed, and the black liquid was roasted by the flames and flowed like water.

The fire became increasingly fierce, and finally the house could not bear the complete collapse. The falling beam smashed an inconspicuous jar, and the light red liquid inside exploded instantly.

With a loud bang, the whole house was blown into the sky. Under the high temperature, the black liquid was blown everywhere, sticking to nearby houses and burning violently.

If the black liquid does not burn, it will be the burning high temperature, and even the steel will soften and melt, and a large amount of black smoke will appear, emitting an unpleasant smell.

...

"Ahem!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi was awakened in her sleep. Hundreds of cannons fired at the same time, making him run to the yard without even caring about wearing his outer clothes.

The attendant guarding outside had already pulled out his Japanese sword and stared at everything around him nervously.

"Sir, it's not good! The Ming people fired red shells, igniting the houses in Jiegang, and many soldiers were burned to death in their sleep!"

"Sir! All Ming soldiers withdrew from the Border Port and may evacuate at any time. Should we chase them?"

"Sir! The Ming people's ships ran away, and only twenty warships were left to park in the port to fire!"

"grown ups……"

The subordinates came down to report each one, which made Toyotomi Hideyoshi's brows frown together. The competition for Jiegang was very fierce, and the Mingren firearms were excellent, but they also suffered a lot of losses.

It was obvious that the other party had such fierce artillery fire, but it never used it. It was not until today that it was used. Is it just using fire attack?

Or do the Ming people have other purposes? Why did they withdraw from the border port? Was they really forced themselves away?

"Report! Sir, the fire broke out in the front yard of the city lord's mansion. Please avoid the fire for the time being!" A samurai ran in and bowed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

"What's the matter? Isn't it just a few fireheads? Just put it out, and I'll disturb this little thing too?

Send the order, lift the stone slab on one side of the road, and take the water in the canal to extinguish the fire. I want to see if this fire is released by the Aoi or I will extinguish it quickly!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was disrupted by his thoughts, said angrily.

"Hi!" The warrior agreed and ran out.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's mind was a little confused, and Aoi's actions were strange, and he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for a while.

Since the other party sets fire, he just needs to put out the fire. The fire that has been lit with all its might only take a few buckets of water to extinguish it.

His more than 60,000 troops are already in the boundary port. With so many people there, no matter how big the fire is, it can be easily extinguished.

"Big..., sir, it's not good! Fire!... The fire is coming!" The warrior ran out not long after, and ran back like a fleeing, pointing to the front yard with a look of horror.

"Bad! No small things can be done well!" This time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was completely angry, kicked the samurai and led the people to the front yard.

As soon as he was out of the yard, a thick smoke came. The pungent smell made Toyotomi Hideyoshi cough continuously. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and took a few steps back.

"Ahem! What are you idiots doing? Put out the fire quickly, why are you stunned?" Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt better if she stayed away from the thick smoke that had not dispersed.

"...Hi!" The warrior who followed him hesitated, and still rushed over with a bucket.

The group of people who were close to the thick smoke started to cough, but they did not stop. They struggled to approach the burning house and poured buckets of water down.

At this time, people can best understand the meaning of dropping the bucket of water. A few buckets of water are of no use for a raging fire.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was so anxious that she stomped her feet, pointing to the stone slab on the ground and said, "Idiot! Pull up the stone slab and get water to put out the fire!"

The boundary port of wooden buildings is different from other places. There are canals dug on the street and covered with stone slabs, which do not affect travel in normal times. Once a fire occurs, the canals can play a role.

After receiving the order, the warriors pried open the stone slab with all their might. At the moment the stone slab was lifted, a thick smoke came out from inside, and then a large ball of flames soared into the sky and directly rolled several nearby warriors in.

"ah!"

The screams rang out in the yard, and the sounds of several warriors stopped abruptly, their bodies burned rapidly, turning into a pile of coke.

The warriors who were farther away were not spared. The black liquid that burst out from many canals was stuck to, and the black liquid that could not be lit during the day was burning violently, instantly igniting the clothes on the warriors and burning their flesh.

A warrior on his body slapped it with his hands. After a few strokes, not only did the fire on his body not go out, but even his hands were burning.

The warrior panicked and slapped his legs hard. The strange flames spread along the warrior's hands and quickly spread to his legs.

"Save me! Save me quickly!" The warrior broke out and asked for help from the silly warriors around him, but the others dodged like avoiding the plague god. Where would anyone come forward?

Seeing his subordinates burned to death in front of him, Toyotomi Hideyoshi widened his eyes. What kind of flames are these? How could they be so terrifying?

"Ahem! Sir! The fire is too big, save it..., can you save it..." The warrior who put out the fire ran back, his face turned blue and fell to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, holding his throat with both hands, and seeing that he had more air intake and less air.

Seeing the man's death, Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't help but shivered. He looked at the rolling smoke in horror, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Are these smokes toxic?

"boom!"

At this moment, the water behind the canal exploded, and the water in the canal was mixed with black liquid and it splashed at first, and the loyal samurai directly threw Toyotomi Hideyoshi down.

"Protect your sir!"

"Ah...! Baga!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt the calf heat up, and then a heart-wrenching pain came. Pushing away the samurai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and there was a black liquid as big as a copper coin burning on his calves.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn't dare to slap with his hands. The scene of the man being burned to death just now is vivid in my mind. After gritting his teeth, Toyotomi Hideyoshi pulled out the Japanese knife from his waist and cut it down on his calf.

A large piece of flesh left the calf with black liquid. Toyotomi Hideyoshi breathed a sigh of relief, bandaged the wound randomly, and ordered the surviving person: "Retreat! Withdraw from the Border Port quickly!"

But it is too late to retreat now. The city of Jiegang is full of fires, and thick smoke covers Jiegang and soars into the sky. Even in the dark, you can see clearly from a distance.

In this case, how many people can evacuate safely?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi doesn't know!
