The morale of the Qian army was high, and a chilling air appeared on each of their faces. Their eyes were firm, and their bodies were filled with murderous aura, showing their strength and making the enemy tremble and fear them.

"The whole army obeys the order."

With this sound, a hundred thousand troops moved.

It made two tapping sounds, and then fell silent again in an instant.

"attack!"

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of messengers quickly ran over to convey instructions to the troops in various formations.

"Commander Ling has an order, attack!" Guo Yixiu stepped forward, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted coldly.

"Commander Ling has the order, attack!" The vanguard army began to change their formation and press towards Lanzhou City.

At the same time, tens of thousands of crossbowmen were ready.

As soon as the vanguard army moved, they immediately fired arrows to cover the advance of the vanguard army.

The position occupied by the crossbowmen was very particular, so that they could attack the enemy at a distance just beyond the reach of Xixia bows and arrows.

The vanguard marches forward, with the shield bearers in front, and under the cover of the crossbowmen, they stand in front to protect the siege infantry as they advance.

Li Shiqi looked at the advancing Ganjun and was anxious.

Because as soon as their archers showed their heads, they were targeted by the Ganjun crossbowmen. As long as they were targeted, they would get a critical hit if they showed their heads.

In the blink of an eye, Xixia archers suffered numerous casualties.

This is not the point. The most important thing is that the archers have suffered so many losses, and their bows and arrows have not touched the Qian army until now.

Not to mention the army, even the shield raised by the shield army did not touch it. The gap between the archers on both sides was too big, how could they fight?

Li Shiqi no longer knew how to fight this battle.

If this continues, we will probably have to watch helplessly as the enemy's siege machinery reaches the city gate.

"Prepare the black fireball!" Ling Yun ordered again, and his mood was extremely nervous at this moment.

Although they currently have the upper hand, as long as Lanzhou City is not breached, he cannot let down his guard.

"Shuai Ling has ordered, prepare the black fireball!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

When the vanguard army reached the attack range of the Xixia Army, Ling Yun immediately ordered the soldiers to set off fireballs to interfere with the enemy's defense.

"What is this?" The Xixia soldier was stunned as he watched the burning fireballs flying from the sky.

But he didn't know that just because he stopped, the black fireball was aimed at him.

"Be careful!" another soldier shouted, but unfortunately he was a step too late, and the black fireball hit the soldier.

"Ah~ Fire, it's on fire, please save me, save me..."

"Be careful, the enemy has set fire." On Lanzhou City, black fireballs kept flying, and the Xixia soldiers suddenly became chaotic.

The black fireball caused the Xixia army to become chaotic and gave the Qian army's siege soldiers an opportunity to advance.

"Cannon ready."

"put!"

The cannons reached the attack range and were immediately set up. Then at an order, fifteen cannons were fired in unison.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was an explosion and the marbles hit the Lanzhou city gate.

One round, two rounds, three rounds...

Even after three rounds of volleys, they still couldn't break through the city gate.

"This Lanzhou City Gate is really hard!" Ling Yun looked at the city gate that remained intact despite repeated bombings, and couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Xixia must have spent a lot of effort on this city gate, otherwise how could it be possible in the city gate? Still strong under severe impact.

"The cannon is hot and needs time. Change the siege vehicles." Ling Yun did not hesitate and ordered the vanguard siege vehicles to hit.

"I must take this Lanzhou City!" Ling Yun's eyes were cold, staring coldly at the Lanzhou City Gate, vowing to take Lanzhou City.

Zixuan said calmly, "The morale of the soldiers is high. It is only a matter of time before we capture Lanzhou City."

Zixuan is right about this.

Under this strong momentum, it was a foregone conclusion that the Qian army could capture Lanzhou City, but it just needed time to disintegrate the enemy's defense.

"To be sure, we must be quick, otherwise once the Xixia reinforcements arrive, we will never have a chance again." Ling Yun certainly knew that taking Lanzhou City would not be a problem. What he was worried about was the Xixia reinforcements. If the reinforcements arrived, the battle would be in vain.

Therefore, in order to capture Lanzhou City, we must fight quickly.

Be sure to attack Lanzhou City before Xixia reinforcements arrive.

"Quickly release arrows, rolling stones, thunderwood..." On the city, Li Shiqi roared loudly, trying to control this panic scene.

The fire continues, and the siege engines have arrived.

"Pour the kerosene on me..." Li Shiqi had already discovered the siege vehicle under the city gate and roared in command.

Although the Xixia army was in a panic, fortunately Li Shiqi was personally in charge, so order could be maintained. The counterattack was gradually carried out, with rolling stones, kerosene and other objects also hitting the Qian army.

"Puff puff…"

"Ahhh..." Xixia counterattacked, and the leading troops of the Qian army were also in trouble.

"Intensify the fire, crossbow arrows..."

The two sides are fighting and competing.

In the fierce counterattack of the Xixia Army, the Ganjun under the city was unable to advance for a while.

"Strengthen the crossbow, point it at the big flag on the city!" Ling Yun fixed his eyes on the flag on the gate of the city, and immediately ordered the crossbow to shoot it down, so as to weaken the enemy's morale.

The Qian army continued to advance. When the people in front arrived, they were supplemented in the rear.

Thunderwood can also resist bows and arrows.

But in the face of kerosene, Ganjun was powerless.

Guo Yixiu had no choice but to direct people to take over. In the end, he could only decide whether there were more people in the army or the Xixia army had more fuel.

In terms of suppressing crossbows and black fireballs, Qian Jun was already very powerful. Unfortunately, there was still no good solution to the enemy's fallen kerosene. The siege vehicle had already arrived at the city gate, but the soldiers were burned by the kerosene. Many people were scalded to death.

The anxiety of the war falls on this critical point.

The death rate among cadres is constantly rising.

The mortality rate of the Xixia army was even worse. As long as they showed their heads, they would become the targets of the crossbowmen of the Ganjun army. Even if they poured kerosene on them, they would eventually fall under the crossbow arrows. Sometimes they would be hit by the crossbow arrows before they fell down, and then the fire would Oil was poured on the city...

After attacking continuously for four hours, Qian Jun finally retreated.

The first day is over.

But everyone was not happy about this.

Especially Li Shiqi, his eyes fell on the city, looking at the mountains of corpses, he couldn't bear to look at them and closed his eyes.

"Carry down all the brothers who died in the battle!" Li Shiqi waved his hand feebly.

In the first battle, Xixia lost 20,000 people.

Qian's army lost five thousand people in battle.

A one-to-two battle loss is acceptable.

After Li Shiqi cleaned up the corpses on the city, he inspected the guards on the city and then left the city.

"General Li, how is the battle situation today?" Li Renxiao summoned him, and the first thing he did when he saw him was to ask about the battle situation.

Although Li Shiqi was tired, he would still look for Li Renxiao even if he didn't look for him.

"Third Prince, the war situation is very unfavorable to our army. If the kerosene hadn't played a role today, I'm afraid the city gate would be in danger!" Li Shiqi said with a solemn expression.

He felt the power of Ganjun today.

No wonder Li Guoqing was so afraid of joining the army.

Even if it were him, he wouldn't be able to deal with it calmly.

It's really scary.

"How could this happen?" Li Renxiao asked in horror.

At the same time, he looked at Li Shiqi with some doubts, "General Li, this is the first battle, is the Qian army capable of breaking the city?"

This battle has only lasted four hours, and the city gate is already in a hurry. If it continues tomorrow, wouldn't it be unbearable?
