Because the barbed wire fence above the city wall was all lowered, under the command of Luo Xin, the soldiers of the five military battalions all hid under the city wall, dodging the arrows of the grassland and the gravel of the siege vehicle, and the Shenji battalion finally came in handy at this time, they all hid under the battlements under the barbed wire, at this angle, it was difficult for both the archers under the city wall and the archers above the arrow tower to shoot them, and it was difficult for the boulders thrown by the siege vehicles to attack them. They all waited with muskets in hand, and there was a sudden silence above the city. The soldiers of the five military battalions hiding behind the bunkers also looked at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion nervously, including Luo Xin and other generals who also looked at them in the corner tower.

"Kill ......"

The heads of a row of steppe soldiers emerged above the city, and this time they saw the barbed wire fence above, and swung their scimitars towards the barbed wire. The barbed wire rubbed out a spark, but the barbed wire industry made it very thick according to Luo Xin's requirements, and it could not be broken with a single knife.

"Bang ......"

A dense burst of muskets sounded above the city, and the soldiers of each Shenji battalion almost put the barrel of their guns on the bodies of the grassland soldiers, which was too close, and a burst of muskets rang out, and a row of grassland soldiers fell from above the city, screaming and falling towards the city.

Luo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and all the generals in the corner tower also danced with their eyebrows, and the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion let out a burst of cheers.

The battle on the city wall became more tragic, the barbed wire fence was like a huge meat grinder, often the grassland soldiers just showed their heads, they found a gun barrel spraying fire, and then they screamed and fell, because of the protection of the barbed wire, the grassland soldiers who climbed the city head could not attack the Ming soldiers at all, but were passively beaten, and the "bang" gunfire above the city head was endless, and the screams shook the sky, and the grassland soldiers who climbed the city head in a row were killed and fell.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The siege vehicles kept throwing boulders into the city, the grassland archers on the arrow tower were also shooting arrows into the city, and the ballista soldiers in the city were also constantly firing at the arrow tower, and the catapults were constantly correcting their eyes and attacking the siege vehicles that had become.

The boulders in the sky were flying back and forth, so were the arrows, and the city was like hell on earth, and the battle had reached a fever pitch, and the tense atmosphere was breathless.

"Boom ......"

Another siege vehicle collapsed, and there was a burst of cheers above the city, and at the same time, there was a roar and a cry of despair in the city, and Luo Xin turned his head to see that three more catapults had been smashed by the boulders dropped by the siege vehicles of the steppe coalition army.

Luo Xin's eyes swept away, fortunately, there were more than a hundred catapults in the city, even if they were all together, it would be worth destroying all the siege vehicles.

The grassland soldiers above the city fell from the city like dumplings, they had no chance to climb the barbed wire, and as soon as they climbed the city, they were killed by the soldiers of the Shenji battalion.

Huang Taiji looked at his soldiers falling from the city like dumplings, going up and falling down one row after another, his face was pale, he originally thought that he had siege engines and arrow towers, and wanted to capture the capital, not to mention that it was easy, but it would not be too difficult. But it didn't happen that a barbed wire fence would keep the fierce warriors of the steppe out.

He had seen the barbed wire fence a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to stop them like a moat. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he whispered a few words to a general beside him, who hurried away.

Luo Xin has been paying attention to the movement of Huang Taiji on the other side, and he suddenly found that a group of soldiers began to appear from Huang Taiji's camp, and they carried boxes to the siege vehicle respectively, and then opened the boxes.

Because he saw that those boxes were filled with some crockpots, Luo Xin's heart instantly sounded with the fire oil fills that he had thrown out with a catapult before, there was no doubt that those crockpots were also fire oil fills, and Huang Taiji wanted to attack them.

Luo Xin was in a hurry, fortunately, before the grassland cavalry shot the rocket, Luo Xin had already asked the Ming soldiers to withdraw all the combustible things such as fire oil filling, but once Huang Taiji put fire oil injection, the fire that was not caused by the rocket, there must be a raging fire above the city, and the Shenji Battalion was no longer suitable for it, because they all carried gunpowder on their bodies.

"The Shenji battalion is withdrawn, and the five army camps are on the auxiliary soldiers preparing sand and soil to prepare for firefighting!"

Luo Xin nervously gave the order, but the generals at the head of the city were stunned, they didn't understand where there would be fire? The fire caused by the rockets fired by the steppe soldiers had already been extinguished. The Shenji Battalion is even more reluctant to withdraw, they have never fought so well, for the Shenji Battalion, they have never made such a great achievement, this great achievement is like picking it up, naturally they are unwilling to give up the opportunity to make meritorious service. Seeing their confused looks, Luo Xin couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted:

"Look at the opposite side, the grassland coalition army is preparing to use siege vehicles to drop fire oil irrigation, and the Shenji battalion immediately withdraws and goes to the fifth army camp. Auxiliaries are ready to put out the fire. ”

At this time, Luo Xin's expression was fierce, and he no longer had the demeanor of a one, and his face was hideous. The soldiers understood this time, and couldn't help but jump in their hearts, Admiral Zhang and other generals began to roar at the soldiers like a fried pot, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also knew the danger and immediately began to retreat, while the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion came up with spears.

"Whoosh ......"

How could the grassland shooter above the arrow tower waste such an opportunity, almost every arrow took the life of a Ming soldier.

"Shieldman, cover. Ballista, suppress me! Luo Xin shouted hoarsely.

The ballista soldiers shot more frantically at the arrow tower, and the shield soldiers also held their shields to cover the retreat of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion stepped forward. The auxiliaries even prepared sandbags one by one, ready to rush out to extinguish the fire at any time. There was panic above the city.

And at this point in the time when the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion changed guards, the grassland soldiers rushed to the city in large numbers, and some soldiers were chopping the barbed wire with scimitars, but where was the barbed wire so easy to split? So after the attempt, a large number of soldiers began to climb the barbed wire. But before they could climb halfway, the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion rushed up, against the rain of arrows, although from time to time some soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, but they still rushed to the barbed wire in a very short time, raised their spears, and pierced the grassland soldiers through the barbed wire net.
