The huge rolling stone kept rolling in mid-air, and Li Xuan stared at it on the city wall.
The rolling stone that was supposed to hit the well railing suddenly felt an inexplicable force appear. The rolling stone crossed the top of the well railing, and then slammed down from mid-air.
With a "boom", the rolling stone hit the catapult behind the well, smashing the catapult into pieces.
Later, Ye Wanwan's expression suddenly changed, and she looked sharply to one side.
At this time, Hu Guang stepped forward directly despite Ye Wanwan's gaze, personally moved a smaller stone and put it into the basket of the catapult.
Immediately afterwards, he stepped forward and began to operate Wangshan himself, giving a final wave of his hand.
The next moment, a huge rolling stone flew directly out of the catapult.
The rolling stone kept rolling in mid-air, and finally hit the city wall hard.
There was a loud bang, and a catapult on the right side of Li Xuan's body had been smashed into pieces.
Many soldiers around were cut and bruised by the splashing wood splinters.
The soldiers rushed over to repair the catapult. At this moment, Li Xuan's calm voice sounded in the ears of the soldiers: "Back off!"
These soldiers subconsciously looked towards Li Xuan and saw Li Xuan looking at them coldly.
These soldiers did not dare to hesitate any longer, directly held up their hands and walked quickly down.
In the Wengcheng below the city gate tower, Feng Hua immediately took over these soldiers and quickly incorporated them into his own staff.
On the city gate tower, the rolling stones were still rolling, but Li Xuan's eyes were more focused on the piles of hay, piles of wood, kerosene, and rockets behind him.
With a "boom" sound, a rolling stone hit the catapult on the other side.
The catapult was smashed into pieces at once, and a burst of cheers immediately came from under the city wall.
However, they didn't notice at all that the number of rolling stones thrown by the catapult suddenly decreased a lot.
More rolling stones hit the city wall, but at this time, Li Xuan personally directed all his archers to hide behind the female wall.
The bows and arrows on the city wall suddenly became thinner.
The Tianyin priests under the city wall felt the reaction immediately.
They quickly pushed the well towards the city gate tower, not caring if there was anything wrong here.
For them, occupying the city gate tower, although they cannot quickly open the city gate and occupy the city, but by capturing the city gate tower, the condescending advantage of the defenders in the city will disappear in an instant.
The two sides have returned to a balance of power, and the rest is a matter of grinding.
Are there so many of them still afraid of grinding?
For a moment, an unknown number of people began to swarm towards the city wall, and at the top of the city, the counterattack force was already very weak at this time.
Zhang Wanyu was standing a little later. Even from the beginning, she was not within the attack range of the catapult on the city wall.
At this time, Zhang Wanyu was keenly aware that something was wrong.
The counterattack force on the city wall was unusually weak. They weakened too quickly.
Zhang Wanyu felt very clearly about the King of Nanchang's intentions.
How could she not know that even if she encounters difficulties above the city gate, Li Xuan will definitely have more backup plans to make up for it.
But now, it's like these backhands don't exist at all. How is this possible?
So this must be a trap.
Zhang Wanyu just wanted to tell everyone to stop advancing, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Could it be that because he felt that the reaction on the city wall was abnormal, he thought it was a trap and asked everyone to stop moving forward?
I'm afraid that as soon as this reason is uttered, everyone will get into a row.
Zhang Wanyu is a woman after all, and she is still a little behind in terms of determination.
During this hesitation, Jinglan was getting closer and closer to the city wall.
Li Xuan on the city wall felt all this, and a sneer appeared in the corner of his mouth.
Looking up at the many archers behind the female wall, he suddenly raised his hand.
Li Xuan's right hand fell quickly.
The next moment, dozens of long arrows were thrown away at the same time and fell behind the well in a blink of an eye, piercing the throats of several soldiers at once.
More soldiers were injured.
All four catapults stopped operating at this moment.
Four figures stood up from behind the female wall at the same time, aimed at Xu Shan and others on the well, and quickly shot four long arrows.
"Duoduoduo!" Except for an arrow in Xu Shan's shoulder, several others were shot through the throat at once.
"Throw out the dry grass, throw in the firewood, light the rocket, pour in the kerosene, throw in the dry grass, the firewood, and pour in the water!"
Li Xuan's orders were issued in an orderly manner, and the people on the city wall threw the dead grass and wood down without any hesitation.
Piles of dead grass and firewood were quickly ignited, burning fiercely on the mountain road.
However, what was thrown down next were wet grass and wet firewood that had been poured with water.
Although these things were quickly ignited, more smoke came out.
The smoke was not strong at first, but at this moment, the wind picked up.
The smoke spread in all directions at first, but soon, with a "whoosh" sound, almost all the smoke surged toward the north in an instant.
In a very short time, hundreds of meters of mountain road were filled with thick smoke, and it was still spreading rapidly backwards.
The sound of coughing and panic immediately echoed in a large area.
At this time, although the people behind Jinglan were still pushing hard, their progress was already very slow.
…
"Send the order, throw stones!"
Li Xuan gave the order, and Feng Hua in the urn city waved his hands heavily without hesitation.
The next moment, more than a dozen catapults in different directions aimed at the outside of Guancheng at the same time, hurling rolling stones fiercely.
With a "boom", several consecutive rolling stones hit the well. The huge force made the people pushing behind feel numbness in their hands. At this moment, behind everyone, there was a sudden sound. A huge crash and a huge boom.
Other boulders had crossed the well at this time and hit the crowd heavily.
Wails sounded instantly.
The intense smoke prevented them from seeing how many stones had been thrown across the well.
It was also unclear how serious the damage done by the Rolling Stones was, and how many people they had injured.
But soon, they no longer care about these people.
Because there was another huge roar, the heavy boulder had hit the well railing hard again.
The violent shaking made everyone understand that it wouldn't take long for these wells to be completely destroyed.
At that time, these people...
"Hey, why is it getting hotter and hotter... Fire, fire, run away..."
A thick red light suddenly appeared in the thick smoke, and then quickly rushed towards them, quickly burning up the well.
Although the well railings were covered with cowhide, due to the rush of time, these cowhide and the entire well railings did not undergo much fire prevention treatment. Therefore, under the high temperature of the flames, several well railings were quickly ignited.
Wind, strong wind.
A violent strong wind suddenly formed between the sky and the earth, and then quickly rushed back along the mountain road.
Thick smoke spread over several miles of mountain roads in a very short period of time.
Seeing this sudden change, Zhang Wanyu was stunned.
At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Zhang Wanyu's arm, and Ye Wanwan's voice came immediately: "Send the order, the front team should not move, continue to advance, the rear team should become the front team, retreat in an orderly manner, and there should be no confusion. The Chaos Killer..."
"Send the order, the front team should not move, continue to advance, the rear team should become the front team, retreat in an orderly manner, no confusion, those who cause chaos will be killed..." Zhang Wanyu almost subconsciously repeated Ye Wanwan's words completely, her profound skills made her voice clear. It rang in the ears of everyone in front of me.
"Let's retreat, slow down and stabilize our position." Ye Wanwan suppressed Zhang Wanyu.
Although she was already in the thick smoke and rocks were falling from time to time, Ye Wanwan still remained calm.
…
On top of the city wall, Li Xuan watched all this calmly.
Ye Wanwan's voice sounded almost clearly in his ears, but Li Xuan was completely indifferent.
Meteorites kept falling down one after another above their heads, and quickly extended further away.
More firewood and dry grass were thrown down, some even from catapults.
The flames immediately started in the rear.
The smoke became more intense.
The soldiers of the Tianyin Sect could not escape much even if they wanted to.
In addition to the damage caused by the rolling stones, the panic caused by their own people and the countless pushing and stepping were the stronger killers.
"Archers, scatter at will." Li Xuan gave an even more cruel order indifferently.
Although the thick smoke almost obscured everyone's sight, the archers relied on their ears for food. The slightest sound coming from the thick smoke would immediately attract their attention.
There was a loud "boom", and in the flames, a well railing was directly smashed by rolling stones.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan knew in her heart that the overall situation was decided.
"Keep throwing wet grass and firewood down. I want to see whether it is the people who run faster or the wind." Li Xuan turned her head and her cold eyes fell directly on the person not far behind her. On Qi Guang's body.
Qi Guang shuddered suddenly, and then quickly handed over his hand: "Follow the order!"
Those responsible for frontal fighting on the city wall are basically the soldiers of Kuaiji Prefecture. After the soldiers of the Kuaiji Prefecture are killed or injured, new soldiers will be recruited from Wuzhou soldiers on the spot. If the number of Wuzhou soldiers is insufficient, they will be selected from Lanxi soldiers. Supplement.
Those who excel in combat among the soldiers of the government are recommended by Qiu Zhenmu and specially approved by Li Xuan to join the Qianniu Guard.
"Brother Qiu, Brother Zhou!" Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu and Brother Zhou on both sides and said solemnly: "Tell brothers to prepare to attack."
When Li Xuan said something, Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen's eyes suddenly lit up, and they both raised their hands at the same time: "Follow the order!"
Yan Tao immediately looked over dryly, and Li Xuan looked at him amusedly: "Brother Yan, you have taken most of the credit, so how about leaving some soup for others."
Those who had been sticking to the city wall were Yan Tao's people, and those who killed the most Tianyin priests were Yan Tao's people.
Li Xuan believed that in Wang Qin's credit book in the rear, Yan Tao and his soldiers definitely deserved the most credit.
After dismissing Yan Tao, Li Xuan looked at the mountain road again.
The flames on the mountain road were getting darker and darker, but the smoke was getting thicker and thicker.
Li Xuan looked up, and the howling of the strong wind could be clearly heard in the sky above his head.
Waves of strong wind swept by, and the smoke was even carried ten miles away.
Even the sky had darkened at this time.
Looking down from the city wall at this time, you can't tell how many people are still alive in the smoke below.
With a "bang", the last bundle of wet firewood was thrown down.
Li Xuan said fiercely: "Send the order, the catapults stop shooting."
With a "creak", in the urn under the city, more than a dozen catapults stopped bombarding in an instant.
At this moment, bursts of footsteps came from below. Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen each led a team of men to the city wall.
"Your Majesty!" Hundreds of people bowed to Li Xuan at the same time.
"The order is given. After half an hour of pursuit, no matter what happens, return immediately. After three tones, those who delay return will be exempted from all merits."
"In the meantime, feel free to kill!"
