"General, General Ha ordered the reserve team to immediately step forward and prepare to stop the army outside the city from destroying the city wall." Zhao Si and Su Xiaohu were originally preparing to go up the city wall with their troops to support the front-line combat troops. But then he was blocked by Hammoud's personal guards. To be honest, the casualties of the combat troops on the city wall so far are really small, because of the obstruction and condescending advantage of the city wall, except for the occasional stray arrows that fly up, most of the damage cannot pose much threat to them. However, the words of the army outside the city to destroy the city wall made Zhao Si and Su Xiaohu quickly realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Why don't I lead a team out of the city and go to intercept and kill?" To be honest, Su Xiaohu can't help it, this method of going out of the city to intercept and kill can be said to have no big effect at all, even if the reserve team goes out of the city, 20,000 people need to deal with the attack of the four city walls and the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is estimated that they will soon be overwhelmed by the opponent's sea of people. So before Su Xiaohu finished speaking, Zhao Si directly vetoed this bad idea.

"If you can't go out of the city to intercept and kill, then you have to find a way to make the other party unable to get close to the city wall, so as to prevent the other party from continuing to damage the wall." Su Xiaohu was not surprised that his method was vetoed by Zhao Si, in fact, he himself was not optimistic about this method. So after Zhao Si shook his head, he continued: "But what is the way to make the other party unable to get close to the city wall? ”

His words were originally just complaints, but listening to Zhao Si's ears was tantamount to a bolt from the blue, after hearing the words, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he grabbed Su Xiaohu and smiled: "Xiaohu, you kid is really a genius, one sentence can directly solve the problem." ”

"What's the solution?" Zhao Si's ecstasy made Su Xiaohu a little confused, and then asked, he really didn't know what hints his words could bring to the other party.

"The cities on the south side of the Yangtze River basically have moats, so they should have the effect of blocking opponents from destroying the city walls, right?" Zhao Si said a little uncertainly, and then said: "Although there is no water in the northwest, we can still have a way to stop the enemy from approaching." Xiaohu, I immediately ordered the reserve team to move all the fire oil in the warehouse to me, and then sent people to go door to door to buy fire oil, coal, firewood and grass, and all the things that caused the fire to be transported to me. Zhao Si's words suddenly made Su Xiaohu suddenly realize, and he didn't even have time to answer, so he turned around and quickly returned to the city with the reserves.

Su Xiaohu's movements are very fast, there is a lot of fire oil in the northwest, and there are a lot of reserves in the army warehouse, plus the coal needed for daily use, there is no shortage of fire-inducing things, and the 20,000 reserves quickly transported these pots and jars in the warehouse plus countless coal bales, and then there were people who continued to knock on the doors of the people who were hiding at home in the city and did not dare to move, and began to buy these things door to door. The situation was urgent, and the Tiance Army didn't have time to calculate the value of these things, so they directly asked the people to go to the military management yamen to exchange money after the war, and then pushed these things to the four city walls in a hurry.

"Deying, I'm here to help you." Zhao Si personally came to the front line of the fiercest battle in the west, and in Deying's puzzled look, he continued to pour fire oil along the city wall, sprinkled coal in coal bags and countless firewood and grass, and after scattering a whole circle along the city wall, he threw a torch directly without caring whether there was anyone below. Only a "boom" was heard, the fire oil was ignited first, and a dazzling fire line spread quickly along the lower edge of the city wall, after the fire oil and coal were ignited, the fire was raging, and many of the Heavenly Fang Sect disciples who were originally prying the city wall below were burned by the fire for the first time, and the raging fire not only made the actions of the Heavenly Fang Sect fall short, but also the miserable howls and rolling postures of those who were burned also really made everyone tremble. Fire and water are merciless, and there is no weapon more deterrent than fire at this moment.

"Haha, let these monsters know it hurts, right?" Zhao Si patted Deying on the shoulder and quickly went to help in other directions, and soon the four walls of Julan City were surrounded by this flame, and countless soldiers of the army outside the city were burned into burning people rolling around. This chilling approach made those Heavenly Fang Sect members who were fanatical about what death was a little sober, and the entire battlefield outside Kulan City was stunned in an instant. And this situation was also noticed by Hamoud, who had been focusing all his energy on the performance of the other party, for the first time, and the methods and flaws of the Heavenly Sect to deceive people also gave him an understanding in his heart. But before he could react, there was a sudden burst of chanting from the battlefield in the distance, and almost all the members of the Heavenly Fang Sect bowed to the rear after hearing this sound, and then chanted this strange-sounding tone. Since none of the people present understood the Chinese language of the Great Food Emperor, no one knew what they were singing. But at this time, Hammud suddenly rushed to the edge of the city wall, staring at the performance of the Heavenly Fang Sect members outside, and his face became extremely ugly. At this time, due to the mutation of the Heavenly Fang Sect, the Tiance Army gradually stopped fighting, and the main generals of the four city walls were all paying attention to this change in the other party. But Hamoud suddenly gave an order at this time, and asked the guards to quickly go to other directions to give the order to fire with all their might, and the twenty artillery pieces on the Xicheng side roared angrily for the first time, and the twenty shells rushed out of the barrel and then quickly rushed into the distance and then landed on the ground, making a shocking explosion, and the artillery at this time did not even aim at all, but the gunner roughly listened to the sound from the battlefield in front and then opened the cannon directly. The sound generated by the huge explosion instantly interrupted the chanting of the Heavenly Fang Sect, and the method of religious sacrifice of the Heavenly Fang Sect was completely drowned out by the sound of explosions coming from all directions. At this time, no one knew what was going on in Hamoud, and no one knew why he had given the order to open fire with all his might, and the sound of artillery was used to thwart the chanting that spread throughout the battlefield. But in the ensuing battle, Hammad's early reaction directly sealed the victory of the battle. It can be said that Zhao Si and Hammud have completely abolished the strategic intentions and tactics of the Tianfang Sect.

But after Hammoud ordered the cannon, the battle of the four sides of the city wall also started again, and the reserve team stepped forward to break the opponent's method of destroying the city wall, and then let go of the Tiance army, which hurried to fight back, if it wasn't for not knowing how many casualties the other side had at this time, I was afraid that Hammoud and Li Feixue would have to lead the army out of the city to meet the battle. After the mechanical crossbow continuously shot wave after wave of rockets in all directions, the effect of the Tiance Army's annihilation of the enemy gradually improved, and the previous blind shooting began to gradually chase the opponent's figure to strike, so that for the Heavenly Sect and the Samanid people, it was undoubtedly destroyed. The Samanid people are different from the Celestial Sect, most of them are not believers in the Celestial Sect, so the Celestial Sect's set of demagogic methods is much less effective for them, relying on the impact of the Celestial Sect members who are not afraid of death, although the Samanid suffered a lot of casualties under the full force of the Tiance Army, but because of the brave support of their teammates, the Samanid people can also support this kind of night battle. But at this time, after the battlefield sacrifice of the Heavenly Sect was suppressed by the cannon sound of the Heavenly Ce Army, the original fanatical disregard for life and death of the Heavenly Sect members seemed to have begun to weaken, and many disciples let out more and more terrible screams after being injured, and this kind of scream also weakened the bewitching effect of the Heavenly Sect more and more. This change in the Celestial Sect also directly affected the Samanid army that was fighting together around them, and it can be said that since Hammad ordered the artillery to open fire, the opponent's combat power began to plummet, and the idea of relying on the human sea battle to kill the Tiance Army and Kulan City became more and more slim. Unlike the Celestial Sect, although the cultists on the front line gradually woke up from that state of bewitchment, but the order from the rear was still to attack with all their might, the high-level leaders of the Samanid side were awake from beginning to end, and they had already begun to plan to retreat from the battlefield at this time, but although the Samanid people were mainly focused on the north and east, they had no way to withdraw the soldiers from the front line so easily after the battle. And the most important thing is that once the order is given to retreat, God knows whether the Tiance army in the city will go out of the city to pursue, and once the defeated army is attacked by the other party, I am afraid that it will really be defeated. Unlike the Great Food Empire, the main soldiers and horses of the Samanid people are less than 100,000 elites in front of them, and if they are defeated, they are afraid that the entire Samanid Khanate will completely collapse.

Saman's side was undecided, but Hammoud was directly simulating all the changes in the battle situation outside the city at this time, so he ordered Deying not to stop for a moment to keep the pressure on the Heavenly Fang Sect members and send orders to the reserves so that they could be ready to attack at any time. And he rushed from Xicheng to Beicheng to join Li Feixue.

"Feixue is only afraid that the Samanid will withdraw, and your side will deploy troops as soon as possible to be on alert, and then follow the reserve to pursue the Samanid." Hammod's words made Li Feixue a little puzzled, and asked, "You mean to put the main force on the attack on the Samanids, but what about those Heavenly Fang Sect members?" ”

"It's because they're religious members, which means they're not soldiers at all, but ordinary people, so we can't do anything about it." Hammoud obviously understood that Li Feixue wanted to ask this, so he smiled bitterly: "Do you know how many people there are?" To put it simply, as long as the Heavenly Fang Sect is willing, they can mobilize an endless number of such sects from anywhere in their land at any time to participate in the war, so even if we completely defeat the 100,000 cultists in front of us, they can conjure up another 100,000 at any time, what can we do? This is beyond your purview and competence. Therefore, as soon as your personal guard battalion finds that the Samanids are retreating, you must concentrate on pursuing them with all your might, and as for these Heavenly Fang Sect disciples, leave them to me to deal with them. ”

Li Feixue was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Hammoud meant, and nodded. His side began to draw troops from the two northeastern walls to prepare for the lower walls, and the personal guard battalion was originally known for its speed, so the pursuit mission was even faster for them than the Uighur army.

And as soon as the arrangement was made on Hammud's side, the Samanid couldn't help it, after the method of destroying the city wall was broken by Zhao Si, the Samanid people had no good way to take the city wall at all, so they couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and their last elite couldn't be consumed in this senseless battle, so the Samanid Chinese army kept blowing the horn all the time, calling on the Samanid soldiers on the front line to retreat quickly, and the city of Kulan was originally on the Samanid border, so their commander didn't even arrange the direction of the soldiers' retreat, As long as these people can withdraw to the borders of the Samanids, it is a victory, and sooner or later they will all be concentrated.

However, what the Samanids may not know is that just as they summoned their soldiers to retreat, and the battle outside the two northeastern walls began to gradually weaken due to the retreat of the Samanids, the northern gate suddenly opened, and the cavalry of the Tiance Army also rushed out of Kulan City at this moment and began to rush towards the Samanid army. Even in order to master the rhythm of the front line, Li Feixue personally led the team out of the city to pursue.

The main force of the guard battalion went out of the city to pursue the Samanids, while the Hamoud in the city still strengthened the firepower against the Heavenly Sect members who were still attacking the city but had obviously weakened a lot. In Hamoud's consideration, there is only one good way to deal with this crazy demagoguery of other people's religions and cultists, and that is to destroy their bodies so that they have no way to do this crazy thing again. Therefore, although Hammoud's side was also preparing to attack out of the city, he had no extra actions before the other party collapsed. However, after the guard battalion left the city, the Flying Eagle Brigade, which had suffered losses before, under the leadership of Su Xiaohu, took advantage of the fact that the sky was just shining and the dawn had not yet come to go out of the city, and he wanted to make a ruthless blow to save the undefeated record of the Flying Eagle Brigade. And it was precisely because of Su Xiaohu's move that Wan Yi, who arrived in Julan City after the war, found a way to deal with the Heavenly Fang Sect.

"General, the opponent's offensive continues to exhaust." Deying was naturally the most aware of the opponent's combat effectiveness on the front line, so he came to Hammoud for the first time and said: "We need to prepare for the pursuit, the command methods of the Heavenly Fang Sect are different from ours, and their execution of orders is higher than ours, so we have to prepare in advance." ”

"You immediately inform Ogeyan, you immediately send troops to prepare at the gate of the city, once the opponent's attack is not effective, the rear troops can not come forward in time to support, immediately go out of the city to pursue, let Ogeyan out of the city immediately from the south to the bottom to join you." After Hammoud went to Deying to give the order in person, he came to the front line to personally feel the pressure from the outside, and instead of Deying, he sent troops to assemble near the West City Gate and stand by.

"Deying, don't come up, open the city gate immediately and go in pursuit, remember to try to capture their leader back for me." After Hamoud arranged this, he saw Deying coming from the south, and immediately asked him to go down the city wall and lead the team in pursuit. At this time, the sky was gradually brightening, and the attack strength of the Tianfang Sect members outside the city was already very weak, and most of the sect members were in confusion and panic at this time, so under this situation, Hammoud decisively ordered an attack, and asked the artillery to increase the bombardment again, and even mobilized the mechanical crossbow to launch a dense fire, once to cover the safety of the Deying and Ogolyan's troops who were pursuing out of the city.

"Boom" Just when Deying led his troops out of the city for a decisive battle, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion in the distance, this explosion was very loud, and even directly exceeded the explosion of the cannon shells on the city tower, and this explosion also made Hammud puzzled, and at the same time sounded the horn again and ordered the whole army to assault. The battle has been fought so far, and no matter what the reason, it can't change the outcome.
