Si Boqian had already expected that the Xinyang army would definitely attack Nancheng. Early in the morning, Han Hongchuan dug a ditch two feet wide and two feet deep fifty steps outside the city, poured fire oil into it, and covered it with hay, just waiting for the infantry phalanx of the Xinyang Army to step in!

Now it seems that the situation is almost the same as Si Boqian expected, and Han Hongchuan is not only a little impressed by this seemingly weak son.

Han Hongchuan stood on the city wall, looked down at the battlement, and saw the infantry phalanx that broke through the fire with messy, difficult, and staggering movements towards the city wall, and had completely lost the momentum of the previous overwhelming mountains, leaving only the pitiful Gou Yan, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a triumphant smile.

Han Hongchuan saw that the infantry phalanx outside the city wall was already close to the city, so he ordered someone to beat the drum and give the order.

"Knock knock..."

A drum sounded, and dozens of jars filled with fire oil were thrown down directly, and the jars hit the shields of the infantry phalanx, fell around the infantry phalanx, and fell at the feet of the infantry phalanx... The jar shattered, and the oil splattered.

"Sniff Sniff..."

"Yes... Fire oil!" someone in the infantry phalanx began to exclaim.

"It's kerosene, what should I do?"

"Woo..."

"Oil... Kerose...

The sound of panic was all over the city, there were roars, there were crying, there were lamentations, the voices were endless, echoing each other, like ghosts crying in hell, and like wailing on the execution ground...

"Woohoo..."

There was a rapid sound of detachment, and hundreds of rockets broke through the wind on the city wall, igniting the fire oil under the city wall.

"Poof!"

"Whew!"

The flames broke out everywhere, and in a moment the city was in flames, and the shields of the infantry phalanx were also ablaze because they were contaminated with fire oil! The four infantry phalanxes really became "the eight kings of the braised iron!"

The raging fire burned the ground black and cracked, the shields burned hot and red, and the soldiers in the phalanx burned to the point that the ghosts cried wolves...

The shield could no longer hold on, and was tossed aside, and the tongues of fire around it repeatedly teased the soldiers' bodies, set their clothes on fire, scorched their terrified faces, and irritated their broken hearts. The phalanx without the shield was revealed, and the soldiers in the phalanx were all on fire, some of them were powerful to put out, some were desperately fleeing, and some couldn't stand the pain and rolled directly on the ground!

For a while, there was only one kind of shouting of these soldiers, that is, the hellish wail, this wail resounded through the sky, and the Xinyang army in the rear listened to it, all of them were terrified and frightened, and the tiger and wolf army on the city wall couldn't help but be moved when they heard it.

Han Hongchuan listened to the screams below, and his heart was also stabbing tightly, so he ordered, "End their suffering!"

"Knock knock..."

Another drum sounded.

The archers on the walls received the order and aimed their arrows at the enemy, who were on fire and scurrying around!

"Woohoo..."

Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, ending the suffering of the enemy under the city, the miserable wails were interrupted, the fire on the ground gradually burned out, and the fire was slowly extinguished, leaving only scattered wildfires, corpses everywhere and a few wisps of smoke between the two armies...

Four thousand infantry, one charge, except for a dozen or so who fled back sporadically, has been wiped out, General Tan was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and his chest was even more panicked, if someone hadn't pulled it, he would have rushed out a long time ago.

Xuanyuan Xuanhe sat in the tent of the Chinese army, and was also taken aback when he saw such a tragic scene, he had never been on the battlefield, and the battlefield he knew was obtained from the military reports one by one, and now he saw such a tragic battlefield for the first time, and he was also embarrassed in his heart, "It's a pity..."

Xinyang Hou watched his soldiers slaughtered by the enemy like lambs, his heart was filled with grief and indignation, his fists clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles gurgled.

"Herald!"

"In!"

"Pass my order! The whole army is pressed! Flatten the royal city!" The long sword on the waist of the Marquis of Xinyang was unsheathed, and the sword pointed at the city wall, with an angry roar!

The Marquis of Xinyang was angry, he was angry at the cunning and cruelty of his enemies, and he was angry at his own carelessness and contempt for the enemy. Because of his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, he caused the two defeats now, and the loss of thousands of soldiers, he needed a victory too much to prove the strength of the Xinyang army, too much need a victory to revive the morale of the Xinyang army, too much need a victory to prove that his decision was correct.

"Woo..."

The horn sounded, and the horn of the general offensive was sounded.

100,000 Xinyang troops, the military flag waved, the crowd was crowded, the general on horseback raised his arms and shouted, the cavalry began to spread out to both sides, circled the team, retreated to the back of the line, the infantry stepped forward, the archers followed, and the formation was opened. , the siege of the thunderbolt cars lined up!

Han Hongchuan looked at the movement of the Xinyang army, and understood that the big battle was about to begin!

Both the archers on the walls and the infantry under the walls clutched their weapons and pressed their bodies against the walls, and the cavalry dismounted and led their horses close to the walls.

"Poof!"

The large cloth covering the thunderbolt was suddenly pulled away, revealing the lineup. Dozens of sturdy men, all shirtless, with tendons and flesh, stood majestically behind the thunderbolt body, very mighty!

The horn stopped, the horse's hooves stopped, and the queue change of the Xinyang army was completed.

In the front row were rows of infantry phalanxes, behind were infantry armed with spears, pushing battering rams, carrying ladders, holding cloud claws and following closely behind, behind the infantry were the phalanx of archers, behind the archers were thunderbolts, and behind the thunderbolts were cavalry!

"Attack!" Xinyang Hou roared.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

“···”

The orders were passed out layer by layer, the phalanx of infantry began to press towards the walls, the archers drew their bows full, and the thunderbolts were loaded with stones, which were poured with fire oil and set on fire...

"Put!"

"Put!"

Dozens of huge flints smashed towards the city wall like flowing fire.

"Bang!"

The flint smashed on the city wall, sparks flew everywhere, the flint smashed under the city wall, smashed a huge hole, smashed in the city wall, smashed someone's crockpot, set fire to the sleeping house...

"Woohoo..."

Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the arrows were like leeches, shrouding towards the city wall!

"I'll go!"

When Han Hongchuan saw the rain of arrows in the sky, he also hurriedly leaned under a stomp, and did not forget to remind the soldiers, "How good! When they enter our attack range, we will let them understand whose territory this royal city is!"

"Yes!"

"Bang Bang..."

"Ding Ding..."

The arrows hit the city wall, making a rapid and pleasant sound, but due to the long distance, when these arrows hit the city wall, they were already at the end of the crossbow, so they would not do any damage to the tiger wolf!

The overwhelming rain of flints and arrows made the soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army on the city wall dare not show their heads, and the Tiger Wolf Army hiding under the city wall was also nervous...

Han Hongchuan looked out from the battlement, and the infantry underground poured towards the city wall like a flood.

"One hundred and fifty steps!" Han Hongchuan counted silently in his heart.

"One hundred and forty steps! Han Hongchuan muttered in his heart.

“···”

"One hundred steps!" Han Hongchuan sneered sneering on the corner of his mouth, "It's Lao Tzu's turn!"

Han Hongchuan stood up, raised his arms and shouted, "Beat the drum and fight back!"

"Knock knock..."

Three drum beats!

The thunderbolts in the city walls began to attack, and dozens of huge flints whirred through the sky above the city walls and smashed into the enemies outside the city!

The tiger and wolf army on the city wall saw it, and their morale was also greatly boosted, "After bombing Lao Tzu for so long, let them taste our strength!"

"Bang!

The huge flint stone smashed into the infantry phalanx, directly smashing it out of a big hole, and the whole phalanx was also in chaos; the huge flint smashed into the infantry camp, killing a few people, seriously injuring a few people, and smashing the ground into a fire pit...

Han Hongchuan lay on the battlement, looking at the scene below, his heart blossomed, "Haha..."

Although the flint inflicted heavy damage on several infantry phalanxes, the number of flints was too small after all, and the hit rate was not high, so although it slowed down the pace of the Xinyang army's attack, it could not be stopped! In the blink of an eye, the infantry behind the infantry phalanx also entered the range of a hundred steps!

"Drumming!" Han Hongchuan shouted with excitement!

"Knock knock..."

As soon as the drums sounded, the archers standing on the city walls couldn't wait to get up, draw their longbows, and point their arrows at the enemy!

"Whoa..."

"Whoosh..."

Arrows rang out, tearing through the sky, and the arrows were shot towards the enemy with the fury of the soldiers!

"Bang, bang..."

"Ahhh Yikes..."

After a rain of arrows, the infantry under the city was shot down, but after all, the arrows were a very small part, the infantry phalanx in front was charging, and the soldiers behind were rushing up like a tide, and their own flints and arrows rained away, not only did not stop the enemy's footsteps, but inspired their fighting spirit, rushing forward!

Han Hongchuan looked at the dense enemy army under the city, and the sound of killing shook the sky towards the city wall, and he no longer hid, but stood directly at the battlement, raising his arms and shouting, "Shoot your arrows through the enemy's chest!" "Yes!" The tiger and wolf army are like wolves and tigers, and the arrows are shooting towards the enemy one by one!

The archers of the Xinyang Army also pressed to the front of the formation, desperately shooting arrows at the city wall, and the Tiger and Wolf Army also suffered casualties for a while!

"The wounded are bandaged on the spot! The dead are carried down the city wall!" Han Hongchuan looked at the dead and wounded soldiers, and his heart ached, but there will inevitably be dead and wounded in a war, and if you want to reduce this pain, you must win the battle! Only by shedding less blood can the soldiers be blessed, this is Han Hongchuan's belief!

War is so cruel that no one remembers the dead, and it is all luck for those who are alive.

The battering ram arrived under the city gate, the infantry phalanx was also close to the city wall, the ladder was on the city wall, and the flying claws were thrown at the head of the city...

The Thunderbolt of the Xinyang Army no longer bombarded the city wall, but was pushed forward and bombed the Thunderbolt and the Tiger Wolf Army in the city wall, because they were worried about accidentally injuring their own soldiers!

"Boom!"

The battering rams began to pound the gates!

The infantry phalanx had dispersed and broken into pieces, some soldiers held shields and began to climb the ladder with their shields, and some climbed the city wall with spears and claws of flying clouds.

"Go up to the wall!" Han Hongchuan shouted to the tiger wolf army under the city wall.

The soldiers who had been hiding under the city wall heard the order and rushed up the city wall in stride, joining the ranks of the city defenders!

"The other party's brother is climbing the wall too hard, let's add some fuel to them!" Han Hongchuan shouted.

"Okay, throw the oil!"

"Throw the oil!"

“···”

Jars filled with fire oil had already been prepared on the city wall, some of which had been thrown before, and now there were many left, so the Tiger Wolf Army picked up the fire oil jar and threw it downward.

The fire oil jar smashed the enemy's braincase like a watermelon, smashed the siege ram of the city gate, and the fire oil in the jar spilled out at once, splashing everywhere, and the strong smell of fire oil made the heart of the besieging Xinyang army palpitate!

"Let's light a fire for Lao Tzu!" Han Hongchuan shouted excitedly!
