Chapter 278

~3 min read 436 words

Atop the walls of Changancheng, a volley of thousands of flaming arrows filled the entire sky in the early morning at the break of dawn.

Dense and thick, blocking the sun.

It was like a giant net, covering them.

At the very front of the Chu vanguard, an old soldier wearing rattan armor looked up, watching this scene.

The old soldier was named Liu Sanji; he had been fighting for Great Chu since he was sixteen, born and died, always the first among ten thousand in every battle, charging fearlessly!

He had been in the army for thirty years since then and was a veteran in every sense.

When the Rattan Armor soldiers were being selected, he did not hesitate to compete for it.

Chu Qingluan called him the elite of Great Chu!

Chu Tianfeng also praised him for being peerlessly brave!

He was confident that as long as he could conceal his figure and use the scaling ladders to climb onto the walls of Changancheng, he would definitely be able to start a massacre and buy time for his brothers behind.

He was charging all the way, killing toward Changancheng.

But at the moment the flaming arrows covered him, he panicked; he wanted to dodge.

But with so many arrows, how could he dodge?

Beside him was also an elite Rattan Armor soldier, in his twenties, with bulging muscles and strength like an ox, nicknamed Savage Ox.

Swish!

An arrow unfortunately pierced his thigh, and a piercing pain struck, but he could not care about this pain.

Because something even more terrifying happened.

From Liu Sanji's perspective, he could see clearly.

The moment the flame touched the Savage Ox, it began to burn fiercely; this was not just the strong liquor from the shattered jars, but also the rattan armor on his body!

The rattan armor was secretly made of tung oil and bamboo rattan, and after being exposed to the sun for several years, it was extremely hard, and ordinary blades and swords were hard to pierce.

But this had a fatal flaw!

That is, oil burns when it meets fire!

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream rang out; the Savage Ox tried desperately to take off the rattan armor, but the rattan armor was easy to put on but hard to take off.

The Savage Ox became a roasted ox.

Liu Sanji's pupils shrank.

This was a torture; even Liu Sanji, who was accustomed to life and death and had killed countless people, felt a touch of fear from the bottom of his heart.

He, Liu Sanji, did not want to become a roasted chicken.
