Jiang Tianyuan and Yi Wen were the two people who reacted fastest in this battle. It's not that Lei Qian and Ling Yuhao were unqualified generals, but that they were blocked by various messengers.

They couldn't get out. One time, this town was captured, and then something happened and another city was captured. Finally, we received the first wave of news. Then came the defeated armies from all walks of life who fled to other cities for refuge.

How can people have time to command the army if they can't even handle the news? Fortunately, Jiang Tianyuan and Yi Wen reacted quickly enough and stopped the Yufeng Kingdom's army immediately.

During the time that Jiang Tianyuan and his team gained, Lei Qian and Ling Yuhao showed their fighting qualities as commanders of the Zhengwei Battalion. They spread the news very quickly and asked other cities to send troops.

Move closer to Xiangcheng and set up ambushes on all roads going north. Of course, these ambushes are the defenders of other cities. Now that Xiangcheng is in crisis, we can no longer divide our troops.

"Lao Jiang, it's up to you whether you can block this first wave of attacks." Ling Yuhao patted Jiang Tianyuan on the shoulder and said.

Before Jiang Tianyuan and his two men arrived, all the military strategists, big and small, had already organized themselves into cliques. The small ones were attached to the big ones, and the big ones listened to Lei Ling and the other two people. Only what would happen after Jiang Tianyuan arrived?

They didn't do anything, but they received the most attention from Lei Ling and the others. Although the military advisers were brothers to Jiang Tianyuan on the surface, they secretly suspected that this man was a well-connected person and had no ability.

Now there was an opportunity to clear their names. Lei Ling and the two wanted to take this opportunity to silence their other military advisors. Naturally, Jiang Tianyuan would not let go of such an opportunity.

"Although Yi Wen bought us enough time, now is also the time when the enemy's morale and anger are at their highest, so this offensive must be the most violent. We still have a chance to defend, but if we can't, we should pack up our things as soon as possible.

Lei Qian glanced at Jiang Tianyuan and said.

"Don't worry, they can't get in." Jiang Tianyuan said with a smile. Lei Ling and the others felt a lot more relieved when they saw Jiang Tianyuan's confident smile.

Just now when the south wind picked up, Lei Ling and his two men went up the city wall. When they saw Jiang Tianyuan leading a group of cooks lighting fires and boiling water on the city wall, they knew roughly what he wanted to do.

When Yi Wen and three thousand light cavalry entered the city, Jiang Tianyuan shouted: "Light the fire!"

"Kill me!" You Dacheng outside the city was filled with anger when he saw Yi Wen entering the city. The same was true for the soldiers behind him. The soldiers who received You Dacheng's signal seemed to have been pumped.

They also launched an attack on Xiangcheng. This time the attack was fierce. Every soldier was like a dead soldier carrying various siege equipment to attack the city wall.

On the city wall, as Jiang Tianyuan's words fell, all the cooks lit an unknown hay around them and threw it out of the city. The thick smoke that rose after the hay was lit followed the south wind toward Yufeng Kingdom.

The soldiers drifted away.

At first, the thick smoke only made it difficult for the soldiers of Yufeng Kingdom to open their eyes, but then they discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the hay, because after just one or two breaths of the smoke, they began to become dizzy and had some discomfort in their limbs.

Sore. You Dacheng, who was supervising the battle at the rear, was even more furious when he saw that the soldiers in the front were slow to attack, but at this time

He had no choice, because the towers were still throwing hay that could ignite thick smoke outside the city.

After You Dacheng cursed loudly, he led his soldiers back a little. The smoke was too evil. If too many people were lost in the first wave of attacks, then subsequent attacks would probably be stalled because of this failure.

After a while, the hay was placed on the city wall. You Dacheng also discovered that the smoke caused by the hay could only temporarily make people lose their combat effectiveness, because the soldiers in front had already stood up one after another.

The time between them was only a quarter of an hour. Just when You Dacheng was preparing to organize another attack, a rain of arrows suddenly crossed the city wall, and those soldiers who had not fully recovered were seriously injured.

wounded, and the battlefield was filled with wailing sounds.

"Raise your shield to save people!"

You Dacheng's eyes were red with anger as he watched the lives of his soldiers being taken away one by one. He quickly ordered the shield guards behind him to go rescue them. Just as those shield guards were advancing towards the center of the arrow rain, a wall on the city wall

The second round of hay dropping began! But fortunately, this time the shield guards were prepared, and everyone wore a wet cloth on their face so that the smoke caused by the hay would no longer be effective.

"The reaction was quite quick." Jiang Tianyuan and the other three people on the city wall looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that You Dacheng had not completely lost his mind.

In a large-scale war, this tactic cannot cause any harm to the enemy. It can even be said to be like a child playing house. This is simply an insult to You Dacheng. In You Dacheng's mind, he is a

For a general with an army of 100,000, the enemy should open the city gates and send out troops to fight with him with real swords and spears. This is how he is respected. But now the city defender not only fails to give him the respect he deserves, but he also

Using such childish things to deal with him made You Dacheng extremely angry!

This kind of offensive and defensive battle is the most boring, because there are only so many routines in it, and the battlefield is very limited. This offensive and defensive battle is not as bloody as the plain battle, nor is it as varied as the mountain battle. Lei Qian and Ling Yuhao are here

On the city wall, although their expressions looked prepared, the two of them were actually not very worried about this battle, because they had many ways to make it difficult for You Dacheng to move forward. Even if the two armies were fighting outside the city, Lei Qian was not worried at all.

What's more, there are many sharpshooters under Ling Yuhao on the city wall.

At this time, Jiang Tianyuan and You Dacheng saw that the fight was not over yet. After Jiang Tianyuan dropped the last batch of hay, the weather was not good, and the south wind stopped unexpectedly, and only a painless breeze blew past everyone.

"This kind of three-year-old child's tricks should end!" You Dacheng looked at Jiang Tianyuan on the city wall and said bitterly. Then he waved his hand and another group of soldiers with various siege equipment rushed towards the city.

city ​​wall.

Jiang Tianyuan shook his head. Although he didn't think that this would make them stop attacking, at least the enemy generals should stop fighting for a while and consider countermeasures? Judging from the action he just asked the shield guard to save, this person is not the same.

For a general who regards human life as nothing, there is only one possibility left, that is, this person has been blinded by anger.

Every larger city in ancient Anguo had a standard configuration, that is, it was surrounded by a moat.

Surrounding the city wall, in order to break through this moat, the army usually chooses to set up planks to pass through the moat. One advantage of the planks is that when the enemy shoots arrows from the city wall, the planks can play a protective role. The disadvantage is that the planks are very thick and restrictive.

It shows the speed of the army on the battlefield and the rhythm of cooperation between various arms.

So You Dacheng, who is proficient in sieges, came up with a way. The siege equipment carried by the siege soldiers was no longer planks and ladders but two ladders. This could greatly increase the mobility of the army and also use the ladders to cross the moat.

When the siege soldiers attack the city wall, they will be protected by a certain number of shield guards. This will not only improve the efficiency of the siege but also ensure the survival rate of the siege soldiers before they reach the city wall.

Jiang Tianyuan looked at You Dacheng's fighting style and shook his head. This siege method can indeed speed up the siege, but unfortunately this time they met Jiang Tianyuan.

"Fire the arrow!"

When the first wave of siege soldiers set up the ladders and successfully crossed the moat, You Dacheng in the distance was very happy after seeing it. It seemed that the city would be captured soon. Then You Dacheng signaled

The shield guards and archers behind him pressed forward and kept shooting arrows at the city wall to cover the climbing soldiers.

Just when You Dacheng had arranged everything, something unexpected happened to him.

After the first two groups of soldiers crossed the moat, the third group of soldiers was crossing the bridge when Jiang Tianyuan suddenly shouted on the city wall. Although these soldiers did not know what happened, it did not stop them from moving forward. Just these

As the soldiers climbed up the city wall step by step, their follow-up troops seemed to be hindered, and judging from the sound, there were considerable losses this time.

When the soldiers on the city wall looked back, they saw countless wooden cones suddenly rising from the moat. These thick wooden thorns were calculated according to the thickness of the siege planks. The strength of these wooden cones was enough

Overturning the heavy siege planks, these wooden cones not only blocked the follow-up troops, but also pierced the hearts of the soldiers who were crossing the bridge. This made the follow-up troops not sure what to do for a while.

Leaving aside how the follow-up troops should attack, those who were climbing the city wall didn't know what to do for a while. They were neither advancing nor retreating. They were all stunned on the ladder.

Just when most of the soldiers were stunned, a man wearing different styles of armor on a ladder shouted: "The soldiers of Yufeng Kingdom listen to the order! Attack the city wall! Capture Lei Qianling Yuhao alive!"

After saying this, the man who looked like a captain took the lead and climbed up the city wall. The arrow rain behind him did not stop, and the defenders on the city wall did not come to lift their ladders. Now was a good opportunity to attack. As the captain, he

How could you give up such a good opportunity?

Just when the captain climbed to the edge of the city wall, just when he thought he was about to be the first person to climb the enemy's city wall, a cold-faced man suddenly appeared in his sight, and this man was still injured.

He was holding a huge gourd filled with water. The water in the gourd was still steaming. The captain was frightened when he saw it.
