After the victory at Zhennanguan and the lost territory was recovered, Li Changfeng ordered people to go to Baishi City to mobilize supplies.
He specifically asked for a large amount of kerosene to be shipped and was waiting for today.
After the kerosene arrived in Dingyang City, it was kept secretly protected.
The outermost trench is prepared for pouring kerosene.
No one could ensure that there were no barbarians among the nearly 200,000 troops under his command, so he did not tell anyone about this plan.
It wasn't until all the traps were completed and he got the news that the barbarian army had arrived that he made people fall in love with him.
Seeing the wall of fire that almost lit up the entire night sky, Nangong Changming suddenly understood what Li Changfeng meant by "catching a turtle in a urn".
It's not like the army doesn't have kerosene.
But Nangong Changming had never seen such a violent burning fire oil. The flickering flames shone on his face, revealing his shocked expression.
Is this... another secret weapon of His Highness?
The densely packed defenders on the city wall had similar expressions at this time, and they were once again shocked by Li Changfeng.
At this time, Li Changfeng was calmly giving orders.
"Artillery Battalion, attack! Is your target the evil beast? It's the barbarian army!"
"Musket Battalion, throw grenades with all your strength, don't let any evil beast climb the city wall!"
"Soldiers with muskets must move on the move. If an evil beast climbs the city wall, kill it with muskets. No grenades are allowed!"
"Zhao Yong, the buried explosives will be detonated in batches. Wherever the evil beasts and southern barbarian soldiers detonate first!"
"The defenders on the city wall are prepared, and remember to aim at the vital points like the eyes of the evil beasts. Shooting their bodies is useless!"
As orders were issued one after another, the entire Dingyang City army moved efficiently. The encirclement was like a meat grinder. When thunder exploded and flames shot into the sky, barbarian soldiers and evil beasts died.
All evil beasts have been surrounded.
As for the barbarian army, it was divided into two pieces by the wall of fire.
There are about 60,000 people in one area within the wall of fire.
They knew they were surrounded, and under the bombardment of explosive charges and artillery, they fell into panic and became a mess.
There is another one outside the fire wall, numbering about 100,000 people.
Battle was furious.
"Damn Da Ganren, so cunning!"
In addition to anger, there is more panic.
At this point, he had no way out, so he yelled at the soldiers: "There is no way to retreat now. Only by taking Dingyang City can we have a chance to survive. All the soldiers, charge me!"
Battle took the lead and fought towards the city wall.
I have to say that his strategy of risking death and surviving later is very effective.
The barbarian soldiers in the encirclement completely went crazy for a chance to survive, waving their swords and roaring towards the city wall.
The barbarian soldiers outside the encirclement circle frantically filled the trenches with earth, trying to extinguish the fire and follow the large army to kill them.
But the kerosene was burning vigorously and would be difficult to extinguish for a while. They could only watch helplessly as the soldiers in the encirclement went to fight for their lives.
Li Changfeng stared closely at the battlefield.
Because the city wall defense line in Dingyang City was too long, and the number of evil beasts coming this time was larger and stronger, accidents still occurred.
An evil beast trampled on the corpse of the evil beast that was killed by the musketeer battalion soldiers in front, and actually climbed onto the city wall, and had a fierce battle with the defenders.
Because of the fear of hurting one's own people, highly destructive weapons such as ballistae were completely useless on the city wall.
Soldiers can only attack evil beasts with swords and bows, but it is difficult to cause effective killing effects.
Even if the eyes of the evil beasts are poked out, they can continue to attack wildly, causing chaos on the city wall for a while.
But fortunately, soldiers from the musketeer battalion equipped with muskets maneuvered and exploded the evil beast's head, thus avoiding a greater commotion.
Li Changfeng had to order the soldiers of the Musketeer Battalion to speed up the throwing of grenades, and soon suppressed this wave of offensive.
Under his order, Nangong Changming organized his soldiers to throw boulders at the evil beasts and the approaching enemies, and the archers fired intensively.
As for the spearmen, they held spears and stabbed anyone who tried to climb the city wall.
For a time, the city wall became a large meat grinder.
The corpses of evil beasts and barbarian soldiers piled up, forming a slope.
In this way, even the ladder was omitted, and the evil beasts and barbarian soldiers trampled on the corpses of their companions and rushed toward the city wall.
However, the defenders of Dingyang City took advantage of the terrain and were in a commanding position, and with the support of grenades, the losses were negligible.
On the other hand, the Southern Barbarians suffered heavy losses, and there was already a river of blood under the city wall.
This tragic scene of being killed, injured, or even blown into pieces by grenades without even having a chance to fight head-on, violently impacted their minds.
Soon, the courage to let the barbarian soldiers die and survive was gone, and they began to show signs of fleeing. No matter how much Battle shouted, cursed and threatened, it was useless.
In this situation of being completely crushed, even he felt fear and despair.
He can't retreat.
But the defeat was like a mountain.
Desperation is most easily contagious on the battlefield, and soon more soldiers began to flee, gradually losing control completely.
Battle was about to cry but had no tears.
Li Changfeng smiled coldly and said: "Don't be reluctant, let me blow up those evil beasts with grenades, shoot the barbarian soldiers with archers, and kill all the people in the encirclement with free fire from the artillery battalion!"
Seeing the defeat of the Nanman army, there was a roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami from Dingyang City.
Everyone looked at Li Changfeng with admiration.
"Everything is according to His Highness's plan!"
"That line of fire was simply overwhelming, splitting the Nanman army into two pieces!"
"The evil beasts and southern barbarians in the line of fire are simply unable to escape!"
"Fortunately, the commander is here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to withstand the barbarian army based on our words!"
"Perhaps the theory of Creation is true, and His Highness is really a god who came to the world!"
At this time, the barbarian soldiers outside the line of fire had almost extinguished the flames in the trench and could clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
Everyone's expressions became panic and despair.
More than 80% of the evil beasts in the encirclement were killed or injured, and more than half of the barbarian soldiers were killed or injured.
There were incomplete corpses and fragments of flesh and blood everywhere, and the ground was covered with mud mixed with blood and soil. It looked like a sea of blood from hell.
The deafening roar of artillery continued to sound. They watched helplessly as their companions were blown to pieces, and the survivors ran towards them frantically.
The big army is too scary!
Is this still a human being?
Battle was also mixed in with the fleeing crowd, and kept roaring.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"Don't get together, spread out! Everyone spread out!"
Suddenly, a cannonball fell next to him.
Battle's voice stopped suddenly and was blown to pieces.
