"Get out of the way!"

Wang Gui roared, rushed up and kicked the flying fireball, saving the other two earth-shattering thunders, he did not hesitate to pick up the earth-shaking thunder that had disappeared and was about to explode, ran a few steps hard, and threw the earth-shaking thunder outside the city wall with all his strength, the earth-shaking thunder flew out of a diagonal line, and suddenly exploded in the air a few feet from the ground.

'Boom! The earth-shattering explosion could be heard dozens of miles away, and the strong air wave smashed the battlements in front of Wang Gui, but the shock wave was also weakened by half, Wang Gui was lucky to avoid the kiss of death, but he was still swept out by the air wave, and a piece of iron grazed his cheekbone, and the blood flowed like a torrent.

The two trebuchets were swept by the air wave, overturned backwards, and fell into the inner city, the soldiers squatted on the ground one after another, covering their ears tightly, and after a while, everyone slowly stood up, only to see Wang Gui lying on the ground, already unconscious, covered with dust, and the blood on his face continued to gush out, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the bleeding for Wang Gui.

Li Yanqing rushed over, he saw Wang Gui throw the earth-shaking thunder out of the city, and he was so shocked that his liver and gall were broken, at this time, he was so anxious that he yelled, "How is he!" ”

"Joining the army, General Wang fainted."

"Carry him down!"

Everyone hurriedly wanted to lift Wang Gui, but Li Yanqing hurriedly stopped, "You can't do this, find a stretcher!" ”

The soldiers then woke up, someone quickly found a stretcher, everyone carefully moved Wang Gui on the stretcher, and rushed down the city, at this time, a clay pot full of fire oil flew over their heads, some fell on the city, some fell into the city, the clay pot shattered, and the fire oil was everywhere.

Li Yanqing urgently ordered the soldiers to pave the ground with the sand prepared in advance, this was the third time that Dongcheng was attacked by fire, the soldiers had already been well prepared, and also had experience in extinguishing fires, they moved quickly and did not panic, first used a sackcloth to absorb a large amount of oil and oil, and then covered the remaining oil with bags of sand, effectively preventing the enemy army from attacking the city with oil.

Li Yanqing gritted his teeth and shouted: "Shoot out all the four earth-shattering thunders, remove the rest of the firearms from the city wall, increase the amount of fire from trebuchets, and be sure to smash the enemy's siege weapons!" ”

On the east city, all the soldiers were full of anger, and began to fight back strongly, four earth-shattering thunderbolts shot into the crowd of the Western Xia army one after another, and exploded violently, and suddenly the flesh and blood flew sideways, and there were countless casualties, one of the earth-shattering thunderbolts was falling next to a trebuchet, and the trebuchet was blown to pieces together with the manipulating soldiers, and the huge explosion made the Xixia soldiers terrified, and the pace of the charge slowed down slightly.

Immediately after that, the boulder above the head roared and smashed, and the thunderbolt cannon exploded one after another, and the quenched iron pieces and poisonous needles and thistles were shot into the dense crowd, although they were not fatal, but they could bring huge psychological pressure to the attacking soldiers, enough to wear down the courage of the soldiers a little bit.

Although the siege soldiers in Dongcheng had suffered thousands of casualties, nearly 20,000 soldiers still rushed to the bottom of Shizhou City, braving the arrows that rained down on the city, and began to climb and siege the city with siege ladders and cloud ladders.

The city changed its tactics, with 4,000 soldiers using spears and shields to withstand the enemy's siege attack, and 6,000 crossbow soldiers using crossbows to shoot arrows behind the defenders, and using powerful crossbow arrows to effectively shoot the enemy at a slightly longer distance.

The trebuchet stopped firing, and the soldier used a fire stick to throw and kill the enemy, a fire bowl is a single firearm similar to a grenade, with bamboo strips stretched up on the shelf, pasted with oiled paper on the outside, and mixed with gunpowder, iron sand or iron nails inside, which will explode around the enemy, and the iron sand or iron nails will shoot the enemy.

The artillery adjusted its firing range, firing a thunderbolt cannon weighing tens of pounds at the enemy within 100 paces.

The crossbow arrows, thunderbolts, and fire bolts formed three striking lines in the distance, middle and near within one hundred and fifty paces, which was very orderly.

This is also a fatal mistake made by Richard Brother due to his lack of siege experience, he believes that the East City has been repeatedly attacked, and the defense ability has been greatly weakened, of course, there is also a certain emotion of Richard Brother, and he is full of bitter hatred for the East City defenders.

But Brother Richard never imagined that the defenders of Dongcheng were becoming more and more courageous, more experienced, and more prepared, and they had been able to completely control the rhythm of defending the city.

At this time, a soldier rushed to Li Yanqing and knelt down on one knee to report, "Qi Li joined the army, General Guo said that the time is ripe, and you can give orders at any time when you join the army!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, looked at the dense enemy troops under the city, the time was indeed ripe to use the big killing weapon, and he immediately ordered: "Throw the fire oil!" ”

At this time, the weapons of their counterattack were only used at the climax of the enemy's siege, and after the Song army conquered Yinchuan City and Shizhou City, they captured a large amount of fire oil, but they had not yet put it into actual combat.

With Li Yanqing's order, the soldiers of the Xiang army began to transport a jar of fire oil from the city, each pot of fire oil was about 30 catties, the soldiers replaced the rolling wood and stone with a fire oil altar, and smashed it to the city, and the trebuchet and fire cannon were fired again, shooting out countless altars of fire oil.

Li Yanqing saw that nearly two thousand jars of fire oil had been thrown, and immediately ordered: "Ignite!" ”

The crossbow arrows were replaced by rockets, thousands of rockets were shot out at the head of the city, and the outside of the eastern city suddenly became a sea of fire, and the Western Xia soldiers under the city became chaotic, screaming and crying, turning around and running desperately, at this time, thousands of thunderbolt cannons buried in a hundred steps away were ignited by the fire and began to explode in a series......

The Western Xia soldiers were even more confused, lost their weapons and shields, and scrambled to escape from the hellish city, the city continued to be thrown with fire oil, and the powerful crossbow arrows were swishing down like a torrential rain, without shield protection, a piece of Western Xia soldiers were shot down, fell in the flames, screamed miserably, and were burned and curled up in a moment.

Li Yanqing watched expressionlessly as tens of thousands of enemy troops were slaughtered and burned, and the war had hardened his heart as hard as iron.

At this moment, a series of explosions suddenly came from the direction of Xicheng, the explosion sound was clearly from the city, Li Yanqing was stunned, turned back to look at Xicheng, only to see the fire on the head of Xicheng, the explosions continued in the flames, many soldiers were blown up and flew up, crying, and the entire Xicheng head was covered with thick smoke.

"Not good!"

Li Yanqing secretly screamed that it was not good, he had already guessed that it must be the fire attack of the Xixia people that succeeded in Xicheng, and ignited the thunderbolt cannon placed on the head of Xicheng.

The cultivation master on the viewing platform was also nervous, what he was most worried about finally happened, Yao Zhongping, the lord of Xicheng, lacked courage in commanding the operation, and the battle was not decisive, when attacking Yinchuan City before, the worst defeat of the Eastern Front army happened in his hands, this time he insisted on defending Xicheng, and he couldn't get in the way before he let him preside over the defense of Xicheng.

The seed master Dao has always been worried about Xicheng, but fortunately, the Western Xia army has been attacking Dongcheng, and there is no war in Xicheng.

But the Seed Master Dao could not have imagined that today Xicheng was the first time to enter the defensive battle, and there was a serious crisis, the Seed Master Dao's expression was extremely grim, and he knew that if he didn't take decisive measures, their half-month perseverance would be in vain.

Without hesitation, Master Dao ordered: "Pass my order, remove Yao Zhongping from the post of the guard of the West City, order Li Yanqing to quickly take over the defense of the West City, the deputy general Liu Jian to take over the East City, and the five thousand reserve troops to prepare for the defense of the West City." ”

In just a moment, the herald rushed to Dongcheng and presented an arrow to Li Yanqing: "The marshal has an order, order Li Senjun to quickly take over the defense of Xicheng, and the deputy general Liu Jian to take over Dongcheng, please Li Senjun go to Dongcheng immediately!" ”

At this time, Liu Jian also ran over when he heard the news, and Li Yanqing handed over the order of the Dongcheng Lord to him, and said to him: "Don't stop, continue to project the oil downward, but remember that the fire oil must not be stored at the head of the city to prevent the enemy from attacking." ”

Liu Jian bowed and saluted, "Obey the order!" ”

Li Yanqing immediately shouted to the 300 soldiers of the intelligence battalion: "Follow me!" ”

He took his bow and arrow from Yang Liang's hand and led three hundred soldiers to rush towards Xicheng

Liu Jian was still worried about the crisis in Xicheng, Li Yanqing's troops were too small, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the locust-like enemy army, so he hurriedly ordered Yang Zaixing: "General Yang can lead a thousand crossbowmen to support Li Sen's army." ”

"The first battalion comes with me!" Yang Zaixing shouted and led a thousand crossbowmen to the west city.

The Xicheng has become a mess, the fireball of the Xixia army ignited a bunch of thunderbolts near the Xicheng tower, about dozens, which directly led to a serious explosion at the head of the city, but then the fire oil thrown by the Xixia people caused a fire on the head of the Xicheng, igniting more thunderbolts that were too late to withdraw, and the poisonous nails that burst out of the explosion caused heavy casualties to the Song soldiers, more than a thousand soldiers were killed and injured in the violent explosion and burning, and the remaining thousands of soldiers were evacuated urgently.

The Western Xia army did not give up this opportunity, a large amount of fire oil was concentrated in the west of the city, the raging fire continued to spread, forcing the Song army to retreat, and soon formed a mile-long no man's land on the city.

Yao Zhongping was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Pile up sandbags, where are the mud sandbags?" ”

Hundreds of soldiers rushed up from under the city with sandbags and urgently built a wall at the top of the city, finally stopping the spread of the fire.

In fact, when the cultivator had always had the experience of defending the eastern city, he had warned the other three city heads that they must prepare a large amount of linen cloth and sediment at the head of the city to extinguish the fire in time.

It's just that Yao Zhongwen despised the young and unqualified Li Yanqing from the bottom of his bones, he was a dignified deputy general of the Hedong Army, how could he accept the experience of joining the army with a small intelligence department, so he did not pile the sandbags at the head of the city, but put them under the city, until this moment he finally realized the importance of the sandbags, but it was too late.

At this time, a group of personal soldiers from the division came over, and the sergeant at the head held up an arrow and shouted: "Pass the order of the marshal, Yao Zhongwen has no command, and immediately dismiss the post of the chief general of the defense of Xicheng!" ”

Yao Zhongwen sighed for a while and said, "I am willing to be punished, but what about Xicheng?" ”

"The defense of Xicheng will be taken over by Li Yanqing, and it will be there soon!"

Yao Zhongwen was stunned, he slowly clenched his fists, turned his head to look at the head coach on the observation platform in the city, and an extremely complicated expression flashed in his eyes.
