"Did you get our firebombs?"
"They're here!"
"And the incendiary oil?"
"The oil is ready too!!"
"Good, let's burn their siege engines and siege towers!!"
"Yes!!"
While these siege engines and siege towers were formidable for attacking, they weren't difficult to deal with.
A single fire was enough to destroy them.
Especially since the Arabian Empire's siege engines and siege towers were temporarily constructed and not very fire-resistant.
Seeing these siege engines and siege towers, Lin Tian immediately thought of a solution.
Wang Wu and the others quickly understood.
Then, the black incendiary oil was brought out and doused onto the siege engines and siege towers.
A large amount of the oil splashed onto the siege engines and towers, and some also landed on the soldiers.
Some soldiers even got it all over their faces.
This situation startled them.
They thought Lin Tian's army's attack had landed on them.
But when they realized they were only smeared and unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew! You scared me to death, I thought I was going to die!"
"Yeah! I felt that way for a moment too. Fortunately, we all survived!! By the way, what is this black stuff?"
"I don't know, but I can smell oil!"
Many soldiers could smell the oil and didn't immediately grasp what the incendiary liquid was for.
However, some of the more experienced veterans' faces changed immediately.
Especially when they saw large amounts of incendiary oil poured onto their siege engines and towers, their expressions turned grim.
In the next moment, their shouts rang out.
"Careful, careful of the enemy's fire! The enemy plans to use fire to burn our siege engines and towers!"
"What??"
"Watch out for fire!"
At this moment, as the soldiers of the Arabian Empire were still wondering what their comrades were shouting about, Lin Tian on the city wall had already ordered his men to throw incendiaries.
"Everyone prepare, throw!"
With that command, a large number of firebombs were hurled, flying directly towards the Arabian Empire's siege engines and siege towers.
At this time, the soldiers of the Arabian Empire on their siege engines and towers were extremely exhilarated.
"Almost there, just a little bit closer!!"
"A bit closer, and we can jump onto their city walls!"
"Quick, faster! I can't wait to kill!"
These soldiers of the Arabian Empire were incredibly excited, eager to kill.
They had even imagined themselves leaping from the siege towers and catching Lin Tian's army off guard.
However, before their thoughts could materialize, a flaming bottle entered their sight.
The soldiers of the Arabian Empire were stunned for a moment, then their faces changed drastically.
They already knew the potency of firebombs.
Therefore, they understood very well how devastating the explosion would be if a firebomb detonated near them.
Because of this, seeing firebombs flying towards them, they lost their composure.
"Fire!"
They only managed to shout "fire!" before the firebomb exploded.
"Boom!"
Fierce flames instantly engulfed their surroundings, setting them ablaze.
Those who couldn't dodge in time were immediately ignited.
This ignition caused many to panic.
"Put out the fire, quickly!"
"Help me, save me!"
This panic didn't last long. The flames on the few unlucky soldiers were quickly extinguished.
This was because only one firebomb had landed near them.
So, they quickly put out the flames and saved their lives.
At the same time, they were filled with resentment.
"Damn it, these enemies are too despicable! When we get close to their city walls and break into their city, we'll make them pay!"
"Right! Once we reach their city walls, we'll kill them all!"
As soon as the fire was extinguished, they began fantasizing about revenge against Lin Tian's army.
However, as soon as these thoughts surfaced, they heard piercing screams.
"Ah! I don't want to die! Save me!"
"Extinguish the fire, quickly!"
"It's over, it's over! Our siege tower is on fire, our siege tower is finished!"
Upon hearing these screams, they instinctively looked down.
And what they saw was a scene they would never forget in their lives.
Below their siege tower, it had become a sea of fire.
Many soldiers were directly ignited.
Fierce flames instantly turned many soldiers into burning figures, impossible to extinguish.
Especially those doused with incendiary oil, who were burnt to death within moments.
Not only that, but their siege engines and siege towers suffered the same fate.
Their siege engines and siege towers had been doused with incendiary oil, and with firebombs landing on them, they instantly became infernos.
From bottom to top, ferocious flames raged.
Since their siege engines and siege towers were made of wood, coupled with the accelerant properties of the incendiary oil, they were instantly ignited.
No matter how they tried to extinguish the flames, they couldn't be put out.
Moreover, the bases of their siege engines and towers were also burning.
This made it impossible for anyone to approach their siege engines and towers.
The soldiers beneath the siege engines and towers were all burnt to death.
This left their siege engines and towers only ten paces away from Lin Tian's army's city walls, yet the soldiers on them couldn't advance further.
This plunged the soldiers on the siege engines and towers into despair.
Now, they could neither advance nor retreat.
To advance, they were too close; to retreat, they had no escape route.
Moreover, the flames kept creeping up, and their siege engines and towers were about to be burnt through.
It was unclear when their siege engines and towers would collapse.
For the soldiers on the siege engines and towers, this was a desperate situation.
Many of them looked at Lin Tian's city walls with despair, looked at the ground, not knowing what to do.
