"Let people prepare the kerosene," the guard on the city wall immediately told the soldiers on the side. The enemy carried a large number of shields and launched continuous long-range attacks.
It would be difficult for them to stop the opponent's advance with bows and arrows, but they had fire oil, a powerful weapon to defend the city.
Kerosene is very useful in both siege and defense battles. These people did not notice the thick black smoke appearing in the Xiliang trebuchet phalanx in the distance.
Things like kerosene are not only unique here. There is also a large amount of kerosene in the Xiliang army. However, it was not used before because it was a long-range attack and no troops were sent forward.
Now that the lord and his army are almost approaching the enemy's city wall, they have to clear out the enemies on the wall first.
Bang bang bang!
There were dull sounds one after another, and fireballs with billowing smoke flew in the sky. The soldiers on the city wall secretly poked their heads out and saw fireballs in the distance flying toward them from the wall with tail flames.
Bang!
The first fireball hit the wall stacks of the city wall, and the fire stored in the fireball exploded. The city wall instantly turned into a sea of flowers. Some soldiers hiding at the foot of the city wall held pottery filled with kerosene in their hands.
Can.
The fire oil from above fell on them, and the flames filled their bodies. In order to extinguish the flames on their bodies, they could no longer care about the clay pot in their hands.
Several people did not pay attention to placing the clay pots and threw them on the ground. The oil inside instantly blended with the flames outside, and more intense flames burned on the city wall.
Without the Xiliang army continuing to attack, the defenders on the city wall were already in disarray.
Chen Huaihuai saw the smoke billowing from the city wall. He continued to lead his troops forward without much fluctuation in his eyes.
The flames above could not stop the Xiliang army's attack. The armor worn by the Xiliang heavy infantry came from the iron ore on the frozen plains of the dark world.
These armors are extremely frozen. Even in the very hot summer, these armors are still as cold as ice. In order to create these armors, it took a lot of effort by Xiliang craftsmen.
Ordinary flames cannot melt these iron ores into iron juice at all, and a large amount of true energy is needed to catalyze it. After putting on this armor, there must be a layer of inner armor made of ferocious beasts to separate it.
Otherwise, even the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters would not be able to withstand the cold brought by the armor. The little flame it turned into would at most make the Xiliang soldiers feel a little hot.
Li Xiang and his people arrived at the bottom of the city wall in a blink of an eye. During this period, many long arrows were shot, but those who were shooting arrows were quickly cleared away by the Xiliang archers.
The Xiliang archers on Jinglan are to cover the attack of the troops on the ground. As long as the enemy shows his head, they will shoot out the long arrows in their hands.
The soldiers of the Han family, who originally occupied the commanding position, faced the Xiliang archers standing on Jinglan. They lost their height cover and changed from tall to short.
The Xiliang archers on Jinglan are one or two meters higher than them, and there are also continuous crossbows on them. As long as enemies appear in large numbers, the continuous crossbows will start harvesting mode.
"General, it's not that our archers don't work hard." The archers on the city wall cried to the guard: "The enemy's war machine gives them the upper hand. Their bows and arrows can shoot farther than ours. Xiliang bows and arrows
The lethality of their hands is beyond the reach of our army. We can still fight them in front of the city wall.
But now they are at a high place, and our army is at a low place. General, if you want our archers to suppress the enemy's melee troops, you have to think of a way to destroy their war machines, otherwise our archers will stand up
They will be killed by their archers."
The officer in charge of the archers was on the verge of crying. Once his archers stuck their heads out, they would be shot dead by the Xiliang archers.
The Xiliang archers on that tall war machine, instead of shooting the soldiers on the wall, they just stared at their archers and attacked.
And on that tall war machine, there is also a powerful repeating crossbow. When a large number of soldiers gather on the city wall, the repeating crossbow will play its role. Dozens or even hundreds of long arrows will be shot out together on the city wall.
The soldiers couldn't stop them even with shields.
The fire oil that could be shot into sieves by those long arrows, as well as the high-temperature fireworks, was originally used to deal with the Xiliang army, but now it has become a source of pain for them.
The enemy's long-range suppression was too strong. The attacks launched by rows of war machines made them unable to stand firmly on the city wall.
As the enemy's melee troops approach, their war machines are slowly approaching the city wall.
"I have already sent for help from behind!" The guard looked at the battlefield situation outside and said worriedly: "The archers must show me the enemy's light infantry. Their attack today is not just a show, but a real attack."
Total attack.
If we can't defend it, this city will be gone."
Everyone knew that the Xiliang army could not be allowed to enter the city, because once the Xiliang army was allowed to enter the city, they would not be able to stop these crazy and brave Xiliang soldiers.
Now they only rely on the tall city wall to fight the opponent. If they choose war, they must resist to the end.
"It's not that we archers don't want to suppress the opponent." The archer officer said with a cry: "It's that the enemy's bows and arrows are too accurate. Most of us archers are newly recruited hunters. How can we compete with those professional people in Xiliang?"
Compared to Archers?
If we want to suppress the opponent's melee attack, we must first help us destroy the dozens of war machines. Otherwise, how can we fight when the opponent is at a high place and we are at a low place?"
The archers in Anding County City. Before the war started, most of the elite archers followed the infantry phalanx to the Fufeng battlefield. The archers on the city wall now are archers recruited from within the city.
They are all good at using bows and arrows, but at most they usually hunt on the grassland. They have never experienced a battlefield like this.
Hunting is not the same as shooting enemies on the battlefield!
"I will solve this matter right away. You can go back and lead the archer troops for me right now!"
The guard general looked at the dozens of war machines that were too big. The opponent was taller than their city wall. The outermost layer was covered with iron sheets or animal skins. Ordinary rockets could not ignite the war machines at all.
Moreover, the opponent was afraid that they would throw kerosene onto the war machinery, so the distance was always kept at 30 steps.
At this distance, even if their soldiers use their true energy to throw the fire oil can, there is only a certain chance of being able to throw it.
"Then I'll leave it to you, General!" The archer officer lowered his head and ran towards his position from the corner.
Now there are corpses everywhere on the city wall, most of them have long arrows stuck in their bodies, and some of the more unlucky ones were directly hit by stones, and the corpses are staggered.
The archer officers stepped on the corpses of these comrades and rushed back to their positions. From time to time, people came up by the stairs to drag the corpses down.
A large number of corpses have been piled up under the city wall. When the sound of fighting breaks out here, a large number of troops are coming. Only a few of them are wearing armor, and most of them are wearing cloth clothes and tied with red belts.
Those wearing armor are the original soldiers in the city, and those without red ribbons on their heads are the newly recruited militiamen.
Except for the loud shouts of the commanders of each team, the other soldiers made no sound at all. Their eyes looked at the corpses dragged down from above from time to time.
So many people have already died before the close combat with the Xiliang soldiers. I don’t know how many more people will die after the close combat with those Xiliang soldiers.
However, since they chose to be soldiers and join the militia, they are determined to die because this city is their home, and they are protecting their home, not fighting for anyone.
Otherwise, when the Xiliang army defeated the city, the civilians in the city would not be much better. They held Xiliang back for several months. With the bloodthirsty and murderous character of the Xiliang king, massacres would be inevitable in the city.
So they are protecting their relatives and fighting for An Ding City.
The people at the border have nothing to fear. They have been used to life and death since they were young.
Li Xiang and his heavy infantry had already arrived at the foot of the city wall, looking at the walls filled with strong spears. This was the masterpiece of Xiliang's crossbows over the past few months.
Anyway, there are plenty of such war materials in Xiliang. Li Xianghuo grabbed a spear, raised his energy, jumped up with all his strength, jumped into the air, stepped on another spear, and continued to rush upward.
.
The soldiers from the trapped camp behind them rushed upward quickly, and underneath there was still a huge turtle shell formation composed of shields.
The soldiers who can complete the wall rush with Li Xiang are all very tall, and their strength has already reached an inferior level in terms of the level classification in Xuanjie.
It is not difficult for them to reach the city wall with a spear. They only need to use their true energy to lighten their armor, and they can easily climb to the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall naturally discovered that these Xiliang soldiers, all hidden in black armor, were moving upwards, and he wanted to attack these soldiers.
The Xiliang archers on the elevated road were not happy. They had been staring at the archers to attack, but it did not mean that they would not attack these soldiers.
The war machinery in the distance stopped attacking when Li Xiang led the soldiers trapped in the camp to climb up. They were afraid that the attack from the war machinery would not fall into the enemy's formation, but would hit their own people.
At this time, the light infantry who were following the soldiers also rushed to the city wall, but they were not on the same wall as the soldiers trapped in the camp.
The side of the city wall where the trapped soldiers were located was where Li Xiang decided to launch an attack. In order to facilitate Li Xiang's attack on the city wall, he specifically let the bed crossbow attack the city wall for several hours.
This side of the city wall is full of spears, which is suitable for soldiers trapped in the camp to climb up. There are not many spears on the other side of the city wall, which is suitable for soldiers to use ladders and stairs to climb up.
The two city walls launched attacks at the same time. After the war machines in the distance stopped attacking, the defenders on the city walls breathed a sigh of relief.
They took the kerosene they had prepared before and threw it at the Xiliang soldiers, and the rockets behind them caught up in time.
There is no need to worry about the heavy infantry. The kerosene burned along with their armor. The soldiers inside the armor did not suffer much damage, but they just felt a little hot.
The soldiers wearing leather armor on the other side were a little uncomfortable. Many soldiers fell from the air to the ground due to the burning of kerosene.
Death is inevitable in war, and when they go to the battlefield again, all Xiliang headquarters soldiers are already prepared to die in battle.
A large number of soldiers were dying every moment. Li Xiang had already rushed to the top of the city wall, stretched out his hand and appeared with a halberd, and waved it vigorously at the soldiers rushing towards him.
The soldiers who defended the city fell one after another. Among the soldiers at the front, there was not even a complete corpse left. Li Xiang was like a tiger among wolves.
Now he no longer has any rules that a grand master cannot take action against ordinary soldiers, because he is a commander-in-chief, a general of an army.
Not those elders of sect forces, not those high-ranking worshipers, nor those famous and powerful people in the world.
He is just the commander of the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters and the commander-in-chief of Xiliang army.
Li Xiang kept waving Fang Tian's painted halberd and was on full alert because he sensed that the enemy's great master had rushed to his side, but the opponent was well hidden and he did not sense the opponent's exact location.
So he was on guard while killing these soldiers. The bright red blood made Li Xiang's combat power stronger and stronger.
Don't forget that he also has martial arts skills. The more enemies he kills, the stronger his power blessing will be.
He now has to work hard to kill a sufficient number of enemies so that he can enter his prime. When he enters his prime, even if the enemy's Grand Master takes action, he will still have the confidence to hack that person to death.
A great master from a certain force in the south saw Li Xiang's massacre like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, so he looked for opportunities on the side.
He was very confident in his hiding ability and did not think that he had been discovered by Li Xiang. If Li Xiang had known about his existence, he would not have massacred those soldiers as unscrupulously as he did now.
And some small flaws were revealed from time to time, so he thought that Li Xiang had not discovered him, and now he had to wait for a bigger flaw to be revealed offline.
It is not necessary to kill with one strike, as long as it can seriously injure Li Xiang. After all, Li Xiang belongs to the top level of Grand Master just like him.
It is difficult to kill even a Grand Master, let alone the top group of Grand Masters, and this place is not very far from the northwest land (not very far for a Grand Master)
When the time comes and he provokes those great masters from Xiliang, if they attack together, he will most likely be left here.
So he just wanted to hit the target with one hit and make Li Xiang seriously injured and withdraw from the battlefield.
He didn't notice that with the killing, the murderous aura around Li Xiang was getting stronger and stronger, and Li Xiang's aura was getting stronger little by little...
