After several hours, the cavalry finally reached the foot of the city gate.
Of course, cavalry alone cannot break the city gate. The purpose of allowing the cavalry to attack is that the cavalry can reach the city gate as quickly as possible. As long as they reach the city gate, the archers on the city can't do anything to them unless they
The archers on the city dared to expose their bodies and shoot arrows downwards. Obviously, the archers were not stupid enough.

Because the archers on the city do not need to reveal their bodies. As long as they show their heads slightly, they will become the target of the opponent's archers. Maybe the next moment, before he can react, he will be shot into a sieve by the opponent's archers.
Of course, this is normal time.
When the critical moment came, they had no choice but to take risks and shoot even if they knew they would die.
Like now, that's it.
In addition to shooting arrows, the soldiers on the city would also pour oil or hit them with stones. It was raining at this time, so throwing oil would definitely not work. The only thing that would work was shooting arrows and hitting them with stones.
Stones are much safer than arrows.
Therefore, what the cavalry has to face at this moment is the falling stones from the city.
Under the protection of the shield bearers, the siege vehicles behind the cavalry were slowly moving forward. When they saw that the cavalry had arrived at the city gate, they immediately accelerated their progress. After a while, the siege vehicles blocked the city gate.
It would be faster and more convenient if the cavalry responded. The cavalry helped the siege vehicle to turn around and aimed it at the city gate.
"Harder!"
Siege engines began to hit the city gates.

Time and time again, the city gate began to loosen.
"General, the enemy has begun to break down the city gate, what should we do?"
Faced with the threat of breaking down the door at any time, Lin Zishi hurried to the city, found Gu Zixi, and asked him for help.
Every time the enemy hits the city gate, a few of the soldiers staring at the city gate will fall down. Over time, there are not many soldiers guarding the city gate left. Lin Zishi asks for help as a last resort, because if he doesn't ask for help, the city will be destroyed.
The door is about to be lost.
Gu Zixi was already extremely anxious. He needed people here and people there. He was so busy that he was so busy. When he heard Lin Zishi's request for help, he couldn't help but yelled, "You can't even stand a city gate."
, what use do you need?"
After hearing this, Lin Zishi was heartbroken.
"Give me more manpower. No matter what method you use, we must guard the city gate. As long as we hold the city gate, the enemy will not be able to attack. Otherwise, we will die without a burial ground."
"Did you hear that?"
"General... obey your orders!"
Lin Zishi was stunned and could only nod his head.

The battle lasted for several hours, and the battle continued.
Obviously, the enemy wanted to take this opportunity to breach the city gate.
Throwing oil doesn't work, what should I do? What should I do?
Gu Zixi murmured to himself, "What if I don't do it?"
"General, if this continues, our army will not be able to hold it anymore."
Gu Zixi said in a trembling voice, "If you can't bear it, just carry it to your death. If this city is destroyed, you, me, and everyone else will die."
Gu Zixi's face was cold, he could already feel death approaching.
The subordinate gritted his teeth and said, "General, why don't we ask His Highness for help? His Highness has a black fire ball in his hand. As long as we ask His Highness to hold it, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy."
You can tell me this, the general will send people there right now.
Gu Zixi did not say this.
Tower Reading@!
"Keep it, you must keep it."
After hearing this, the soldiers kept smiling bitterly in their hearts. How could they defend this? There was a steady stream of enemy troops, and they couldn't kill them all.
"General, His Royal Highness is here."
"Well, where is Your Highness?"
Gu Zixi's body was shaken and he asked.
"Just below the city."
When Gu Zixi heard this, he immediately went to the city.
"Your Highness, can you help the general retreat from the enemy?"
Gu Zixi went down to the city as quickly as possible, and then went straight to the point and asked for help, because if he was a step slower, the city gate might be lost at any time.
"I know, that's why I'm here."

Zhao Heng nodded.
"Chang Yuxin, prepare to throw the black fireball."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
When the soldiers put the black fireball on the catapult, Zhao Heng sneered and said contemptuously, "Let it go, let me go hard!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Let me go!"
Just as the soldiers were lighting the fire, an accident happened.
"General, it's raining and I can't light the fire. What should I do?"
"Trash, you can't light a fire. Of course you can't light it if it rains. Wouldn't you use an umbrella to block it before lighting it?"
Zhao Heng yelled and cursed, they are just a bunch of idiots.

When Chang Yuxin heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He thought that Zhao Heng could just scold others on weekdays, but even scolded himself. It sounded so damn unpleasant. It was a pity that he dared to be angry and dared not speak out. He felt unhappy in his heart.
, can only be buried deep in my heart.
"Did you hear that? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that every catapult should hold an umbrella for me..."
"Yes, General."
"General, it still doesn't work."
Before Chang Yuxin opened his mouth, Zhao Heng couldn't sit still.
He said angrily, "What's wrong?"
"It doesn't work here, it doesn't work anywhere. I spend a lot of money to raise you, and why do you raise such a bunch of trash?"
"Your Highness, calm down."
Chang Yuxin bowed and immediately begged for mercy.
Zhao Heng cursed, "Hurry up and solve it for me, otherwise... you will know the consequences."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, it will be resolved eventually."
After saying that, walk to the front.
"What happened?"
Zhu Qizheng said with a look of despair, "General, this black fireball cannot be ignited when it touches water, and even if it is ignited, it will go out when it is half burned, making it impossible to use."
"How...how could this happen?"
Chang Yuxin couldn't believe it, and quickly checked every ignited black fire ball, and found that it was the same situation. Either it could not be ignited, or it was extinguished halfway through. With this result, even if it was thrown out, it would not explode.
"This is water." After analysis, Chang Yuxin saw the problem, so he ordered, "Put these away and replace them with new ones. Move quickly. There are also black fireballs that have not been taken out.
, be sure to avoid water and don’t let any drop of rainwater drip onto it, otherwise it will not be usable.”
"Yes, General."
Under the attention of the soldiers, the black fireball was finally replaced again.
"General, it's done."

"Light the fire and set it off."
Just like that, the black fireball was finally released.
However, when they finished the first round and then released the second round, they found that the black fireballs had actually entered the water, and this was also the case in most of the boxes. Apparently, they had already encountered water when they were transported. Now,
Not usable at all.
Just then Zhao Heng came over. Without asking him why, he shouted directly at him, "Chang Yuxin, what's the matter with you? I asked you to release the black fireball, but you released it once and it's gone?"
"Your Highness, there's water in, so we can't light a fire."
"Trash, all rubbish!"
When Gu Zixi heard this, he became anxious. Without the black fireball, what would they do to fight off the enemy?
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Zhao Heng said immediately, "There are fifty thousand troops in the city. Even if there are no black fireballs, we have nothing to fear from the enemy."
Gu Zixi whispered, "Your Highness, all the troops that the general can mobilize are here. The remaining more than 10,000 people can only be mobilized by General Guo."
