The third Van Lin offensive and defensive battle began to enter a white-hot state in the afternoon of the first day of the battle, the Kaman people were satisfied to win the absolute upper hand in the morning ushered in a bloody afternoon, into the state of the emperor [***] team began to start the good defense system of Van Lin City one by one, from the city defense facilities to the army equipment, from the special forces of sniping methods to the new weapons to show their might, the emperor [***] began to reflect the advantages of the empire's strong economic strength step by step in every corner of the war.

The advantage of the Kamans lies in their sufficient strength and high morale, and they continue to launch offensives like rolling waves, so that the emperor [***], who is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, has to put the reserve troops into the battlefield again and again, and the defense line of the city wall may be broken through almost at any time, in this case, the use of reserves is too much earlier than the estimated time of Sang Sheng, and if this situation continues, then Fanlin City is afraid that it will not be able to support it for even three days. Fortunately, the Fifth Legion finally relieved its breath, just like the stunned giant who was only sobered up by pouring a basin of cold water at this time, and after a multi-pronged approach, the Fifth Legion, with its good tradition and tenacious will, as well as its superior weapons and equipment, turned the disadvantage step by step, so that the Kamans also tasted the beating they had tasted in the morning.

The use of new weapons suddenly disrupted the siege rhythm of the Kaman army, Claudia with her hands on the handle of the wide long knife bit her lip and watched the fierce battle at the east gate of the unprecedentedly fierce battle, countless sliding ladders set up the city wall, and the hook was firmly fastened to the battlements of the city wall with the activity of the mechanism, and the city carts faced bombardment from all sides and the attacks of crossbowmen, constantly emitting smoke and flames, but they still stubbornly approached the city wall step by step, and the Kaman infantry licking their lips were already waiting for the last moment, only when the city carts and the city wall were closed, it was time for them to show their skills。

The bulky mobile arrow tower continued to advance under the shouts of the soldiers, and after entering the firing range, the condescending arrow tower could give full play to its striking advantage, and the crossbowmen attacked the Tang soldiers on the city wall wave after wave, especially the equipped snipers with divine arrows were even more ferocious, almost every arrow could buy a human life, and the Tang soldiers on the city wall were so suppressed that they did not dare to raise their heads for a while. But the snipers of Datang soon launched a counter-sniper, sniping to deal with snipers, and the Datang snipers, who had an absolute advantage in the range of activities, soon gained the upper hand in this contest, and every time the Kaman sniper appeared, he would always get one or two vicious and hidden sniper arrows, and after losing a number of snipers, the Kaman had to give up this asymmetrical war, but this did not affect the intensification of the whole scene.

Every volley of thunder made Claudia's heart twist, and countless heroic Kaman Erlang pounced on this unforeseen blow, each thunderbolt would cause a wave of fluttering in the Kaman infantry phalanx, this vicious weapon was almost impossible to restrain and there seemed to be no other way than to dodge, and that required you to react quickly enough. And the kind of sweet potato-style thunder held by the infantry defending the city of the Tang Dynasty made Claudia hate it even more, even if you rushed in front of them, as long as there was such a thing, you had to think twice.

"Get our thunder trains out of here, it's time for them to perform. Claudia did not fantasize that she would be able to conquer Van Lin City in one day, Datang also spent a lot of effort on the layout of several city fortresses on this border, and the defense system of these cities like Van Lin Jia Ma has been strengthened and improved many times, even if it is their own side that has an absolute advantage in terms of troops, but it can only be gradually manifested after the loss of Datang's troops in the later stage of the offensive and defensive war, and now is the time when Datang's defense force is the most sufficient, and it is not so easy to go down in one go. However, now it is necessary to strike at the arrogance of the Datang side, so that if the Datang is in power, although the Kaman soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, they will also dampen their morale, and their own side also needs to adjust the rhythm of the attack.

When the Kamans carefully pushed out dozens of attack vehicles that resembled catapults, Sang Sheng immediately realized that the Kamans might have something new, but the intelligence department did not reflect that the Kamans had any new weapons and equipment.

Dozens of swarthy balls flew up the city wall in the first round of projection, the clay pot of clay fell on the head of the city and shattered, the strong smell of oil came to his face, and saw the black liquid flowing everywhere after the clay pot was broken, Sang Sheng's heart was suddenly shocked, this is the special product of the Western Regions and some areas in the north - fire oil, its burning intensity is more fierce than tung oil, it is not extinguished when it encounters water, it is like a maggot attached to the bone, once it burns up, it is indestructible, quite powerful, the damn Kaman people actually used this kind of goods. Fortunately, preventing fire attacks is also an important part of the defense system, the wooden buildings on the city head and around the city wall have been demolished to prevent the fire from affecting the battle situation, a large amount of sand and soil are piled up every few tens of meters, once it is earlier than the fire attack, it can be extinguished in time, but Sang Sheng knows that the enemy's fire oil attack is not so easy to extinguish.

"Pay attention to the thunder that isolates us, the enemy must attack with fire, isolate it in sections, and once a fire breaks out, extinguish it on the spot immediately!" The officers of the Fifth Legion, who were also veterans of battle, saw the oil spreading everywhere, and began to direct the soldiers to spread mud and sand on the ground of the city wall, which could effectively prevent the oil from flowing and spreading everywhere and prevent the spread of fire.

When the flames of the Kamans roared, the light fireproof shield that was suddenly erected covered the entire wall for a time, which was also a method specially conceived in order to seize the time to extinguish the fire, the reserves on the city wall had already pounced and lifted a basket of sand and spread sand along the ground, a small number of rockets and arrows still fell on the wall through the gap between the shields, and suddenly ignited a raging fire, but when the fire broke out, a large amount of sand and soil would be covered and extinguished in the shortest possible time, and the thick and loose sand also paved an effective fireproof belt on the city wall, at least effectively preventing the spread of oil everywhere。

And the roaring catapult almost in the first time counterattack so that just had time to launch two rounds of thunder train immediately suffered the blow of the destruction surname, although also set up an effective protection net, but huge stones fell from the sky, even the protection net can not withstand this kind of use of the habitual surname to let the power play to the extreme, the net is broken, the oil is cross-flowing, and a series of thunder and thunder even specifically looking for the location of the thunder train, so that Claudia had to order the thunder train to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield, one or two thunder trains were even hit by the thunder, at that time it exploded, causing fires everywhere, so that the Kaman people suffered a big loss。

Claudia had to admit that the Tang Army's completeness in the construction of the defense system was far beyond his imagination, and various defensive weapons had formed a fairly tightly coordinated system, although Claudia still insisted that he could tear through this defensive network, but in his mind the degree of loss would be greatly increased, which also gave rise to a shadow of worry in his heart. However, he also found a weakness of the Tang Army, that is, it seems that the number of equipment of the thunderbolt is not very sufficient, if the number of lethal weapons of the Tang army is sufficient, it can cause more damage to his own side, and even change the entire battle situation, but judging from the density of the other party's thunder, the Tang army seems to be consciously controlling the use of this weapon, which also shows that there are not many trump cards in the hands of the Tang army.

The effective containment of the enemy's fire attack made Sang Sheng breathe a sigh of relief, but as Claudia estimated, the number of thunderbolts equipped in Van Lin City was not sufficient, because it was impossible to predict where the enemy army would break through, although Kamapov estimated that Van Lin City might be the focus of the Kaman people's breakthrough, but still had to be equipped with a considerable number of bombing thunder in Jiama and Yulin, especially in Yulin, due to the backwardness of urban construction, so that Kamapov put more effort into Yulin, this method of even distribution of which ensured the safety factor, but also caused the number of weapons that were not abundant to be more limitedIf it weren't for the arrogance of the Kamans, Sang Sheng would not be willing to use this kind of killer weapon so early.

So far, the Tang army has reversed back to the disadvantage of the morning, and gradually expanded the advantage, Claudia is also aware of this, but he does not think that this is the final end of the war, this is the first day, the subsequent war will be more cruel and fierce, the Liberians have been broken, and if they do not succeed, they will become benevolent, let the Tang people feel the bravery of the Liberians.

In the morning, the attack of our own army achieved quite good results, and the casualties of the Tang army were also considerable, the Tang army had less than 100,000 people in the city of Fanlin, except for the two divisions of their Fifth Army Corps which were the main force, and the combat effectiveness of the other tens of thousands of people was questionable. The more than 400,000 troops in their hands are almost all elites, as long as they capture the city, they will sacrifice half of them and achieve their goal, breaking through Fanlin, there are too many attack points to choose from in the south, the Tang people's thin internal line troops can't stop their own army at all, and the ironclad cavalry can drive straight in, and the vast northern plains of the Tang Dynasty are the best stage for them to show themselves, and then it will be time for the Tang people to wail and cry.
