"Whoosh ......"

There was a humming of bowstrings above the city, only this time there were far fewer arrows, for many archers were vomiting there. However, it's just that there are a lot of arrows missing, but it has caused a lot of casualties to the grassland coalition army, because at this time, where can the grassland coalition army still care about raising a wooden shield?

Besides......

It was a wooden shield, and at this time those wooden shields were burning, so that the grassland coalition army under the city was completely exposed to the attack of the archers, and a round of arrow rain caused huge casualties to the grassland coalition army.

Huang Taiji's face on the opposite side was pale, he originally wanted to attack the city in the first batch of grassland coalition forces, after putting pressure on the Ming soldiers, and then carry out a fire attack, so that the Ming soldiers panicked, and further oppressed the Ming soldiers, and finally compressed the nerves of the Ming soldiers to the time when they were about to collapse, and then used the siege vehicles and arrow towers built in these days to defeat the Ming soldiers in one fell swoop, he has been building siege vehicles and arrow towers these days, waiting for the final decisive battle.

He didn't want to delay any longer, in fact, he couldn't delay it anymore, the food and grass in the army were only enough for three days, and he just wanted to break through the capital today.

However, he never expected that before his follow-up measures could be used, Luo Xin had already set the fire first. Immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"You have fire, I have fire!"

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Rocket!" ”

"Boom ......"

Behind Huang Taiji, 10,000 cavalry swarmed out, and at the moment of rushing out, each steppe cavalry ignited a rocket.

Luo Xin, who was above the city, shrank his eyes and immediately shouted: "Prepare to extinguish the fire and pour the fire oil down." ”

The soldiers above the city immediately began to pour the fire oil downward, and at this time, they did not care about the steppe alliance attacking the city, and only took a few breaths to move the box containing the fire oil filling.

"Buzz ......"

There was a buzzing of bowstrings from under the city, and 10,000 rockets headed towards the city head **** and landed on the city head. In an instant, a fire burned above the city.

"Fight the fire!"

Luo Xin shouted loudly, in fact, before Luo Xin gave the order, an auxiliary soldier with a bucket rushed up and began to put out the fire.

The grassland coalition army outside the city ignited the rocket again, heading towards the city head, each grassland cavalry only has two rockets, but gathered in one place, that is, 20,000 rockets, the entire city is full of beacons, and the whole capital is clearly visible.

The people and officials in the capital are looking up at the fire burning on all sides of the capital, and Emperor Jiajing in the palace is also anxious, but they can only wait at this time, waiting for the news to come back from the front, and they can't stop praying in their hearts, praying that Luo Xin can withstand the attack of the grassland coalition army.

The 10,000 grassland cavalry outside the city did not retreat, and drew long arrows from the quiver, although they were no longer rockets at this time, but when the 10,000 arrows were fired, they caused great casualties to the Ming soldiers who were fighting the fire above the city.

"Shieldman, protect!"

"Archers, ballistae, catapults, crush the enemy."

Luo Xin shouted hoarsely, the fireworks had smoked his face black, but the soldiers who heard Luo Xin's order quickly calmed down from the panic, Luo Xin's voice was their confidence, the shield bearers quickly formed a row at the head of the city, archers, ballista soldiers, and catapults also began to fight back, suppressing some of the steppe cavalry below.

At the same time, the steppe soldiers under the city who had just been attacked by the fire oil had retreated, and the 20,000 soldiers had suffered more than 4,000 casualties. Under Huang Taiji's drinking order, he began to regroup. Then, under the order of Huang Taiji, he forced the city wall again.

The fire above the city had not been completely extinguished, and Luo Xin stood at the head of the city and saw through the gap in the shield that the grassland coalition army was rushing towards the city wall again. His brow furrowed suddenly, and his eyes showed a look of shock.

I saw that there was another movement from behind Huang Taiji, and behemoths appeared in his field of vision.

"That's ......," Luo Xin felt his mouth dry a little.

"Siege engines and arrow towers!" Admiral Zhang was taken aback.

The principle of the siege vehicle is the same as that of the catapult, but the scale is much larger than the catapult, more than one zhang long, more than two zhang high, people can't push it at all, it takes six horses to be able to pull, the power is not known how many times that of the catapult, the destructive power is great, and the range is extremely long.

The arrow tower is a movable attic built of wood, the height is more than the city wall, and the defense is extremely strong, the archer standing on the arrow tower can directly shoot the soldiers defending the city, and suppress the soldiers defending the city. So that the besieging soldiers can successfully storm the city.

"Your Excellency!"

The generals looked at Luo Xin with grim expressions, and at this time, there was a trace of fear in their eyes. Luo Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a condensed voice:

"It seems that this decisive battle is more difficult than imagined!"

All the generals nodded, looking at Luo Xin's eyes full of anticipation, they were expecting Luo Xin to come up with a way to suppress the siege engines and arrow towers.

Everyone knew very well in their hearts that after the grassland coalition army had siege engines and arrow towers, most of the advantages of the high walls of the city owned by the Ming soldiers were lost.

"Order the soldiers to take cover, and the ballistae and catapults aim at the siege engines and arrow towers, and give me a hard beating."

At this time, the fire above the city has been basically extinguished, only sporadic fires are still burning, which is no longer a threat to the Ming soldiers, but the smoke is billowing out, a hellish appearance.

Luo Xin looked at the opposite side, his expression became more and more solemn, he didn't expect that the other party would have siege vehicles and arrow towers, and there were ten siege vehicles and ten arrow towers. This is a huge threat to the capital. Looking down, I saw that 10,000 cavalry were still wandering under the city, constantly shooting arrows at the city wall, and more than 10,000 soldiers were running towards the city wall, and they were about to be forced under the city wall.

Luo Xin's heart began to tense, and the grassland coalition army attacked almost in all directions this time. There were siege engines in the distance, arrow towers in the heights, 10,000 cavalry on the ground shooting into the cover, and more than 16,000 soldiers were carrying ladders to the city wall.

Luo Xin has been very calm in his heart since he fought against the grassland coalition army. And the battle situation has indeed been firmly in Luo Xin's hands, but today his heart is hanging. He had a feeling that the battle situation was out of control.

The siege engines and turrets were too large and heavy to move very slowly. While the more than 16,000 soldiers had already pounced under the city walls, ten siege engines and ten arrow towers were still slowly advancing towards the city walls. However, the psychological pressure caused by these twenty behemoths to the Ming soldiers above the city was very huge.
