Huge stones continued to bombard the city walls, and the rain of arrows was dense and tight. A large number of casualties began to appear among the officers and soldiers on the city walls. Even with their shields in their hands, they will inevitably get hurt, let alone launch a counterattack. Under the city walls, more than a dozen crash cars were already in place one after another, and began to ram the weak parts of the various gates and city walls.

"Fight back, fight back! Destroy their ramming car. Luan Xunjie raised a shield in one hand and brandished a long sword in the other, roaring hoarsely. He had promised Luo Ming that he would hold out for four days, but the first day of attack had almost made him desperate.

Regardless of the dead and wounded, the soldiers on the city walls smashed buckets of burning oil into the ramming cars under the city. Immediately a fire broke out in the carports of those cars. But these bulky things have very good armor and don't care about the fire above.

The main gate guarding the castle was the most critical. Although its gates are the thickest, the spans of the openings are also the largest. Structurally speaking, it is the most easily damaged place.

In addition to the thick latches in the main gates, the soldiers also made a lot of wood for beveled support.

But when the first impact of the crashing car outside came, the supporting wood scattered like toys, and some were even knocked away by the huge force of the impact.

By the time the second terrifying impact came, the tall and thick gates had already made a terrifying shaking sound.

The soldiers above the main gates desperately smashed the canopy of the crashing car with the large rocks they could find. They couldn't stop the crashing cars under the city gates. A group of soldiers rushed to a huge bronze dome that was more than a man tall and weighed thousands of pounds, and used crowbars to propel it out of the city walls. Some of the soldiers began to throw all kinds of burning fuel into the copper dome, causing a raging fire to ignite the copper dome.

Arrows were constantly killed among the soldiers who moved the bronze tripod, but more soldiers rushed to help desperately. There are many people and great strength, and they finally pushed the bronze tripod over the daughter wall with difficulty and pushed it down from the city.

With a loud bang, the copper tripod smashed through the canopy of the crashing car that had hit the main city gate, and smashed its solid frame as well. Thousands of pounds of ramming mallets tumbled to the ground, killing almost half of the attacking soldiers.

The rest of the soldiers could not escape at all, and the barrels of hot oil that kept pouring down on the city quickly ignited a fire, and the soldiers hiding under the canopies were either burned to death.

The crash car was paralyzed at the main city gate, but the main city gate was safe. Because it was impossible for the attackers to brave the rain of arrows and hot oil in the city to tow this heavy car away, it was impossible to clear the way for the attack.

But the other crash cars were still crashing into the walls and several other small gates. Under the cover of a dense rain of arrows, the infantry of the Xuanwu Kingdom began to climb the city walls. In order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people, the heavy catapult had temporarily stopped bombardment.

Soon, it was dawn. In the military camp of the Xuanwu Kingdom, there were horns and drums thundering. The black-pressed cavalry began to move forward, continuing to suppress the defender's head with bows and arrows. Countless infantry let out wild shouts and climbed the walls like ants with ladders and flying claws. The two sides entered into extremely tragic hand-to-hand battles.

About an hour later, two small gates and three walls were broken down by the rammers, and the heavily armored infantry of the Xuanwu Kingdom began to charge towards the breach. Luan Xunjie, who had already suffered four arrow wounds on his body, angrily organized the reserve team to plug the gap.

Luan Xunjie's lieutenant, Zhao Qinghai, was still cool-headed, and he ordered the officers and men of the reserve to throw all kinds of flammable materials into the gap in the city wall, and then set them on fire with rockets. These gaps soon ignited a raging fire, and they finally repelled the offensive of the Northern Union with this method.

The battle on the city wall was fierce, and the soldiers of Black Cloud City rushed to the top of the city several times, but because they could not carry heavy armor and heavy weapons to climb up. So it is difficult to play to the advantages of hoplites. Under the command of Luan Xunjie, who looked like a mad tiger, the officers and soldiers of the Black Cloud City Reserve launched counter-charges again and again, and finally drove all the soldiers of the Northern Alliance off the city wall.

The battle continued until dusk. The soldiers were exhausted, but there was no hope of breaking through the walls. Jiang Yunhui, who was quite helpless, had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops. After this battle, he lost all the heavy ramming vehicles, which were so heavy that he couldn't get off when he rushed up. And paid more than 10,000 casualties and a third of the arrows they carried, but failed to move forward.

This kind of consumption is really terrifying, and it is very different from the pre-war prediction, but I am afraid that the rear will not be able to raise more arrows for a while.

The situation on the battlefield made him very annoyed, remembering the heroic words before the war, he didn't know how to explain to the arrogant little prince Gu Yinqi after he went back.

The situation is even worse on the side of the Blue Dragon Kingdom. Coach Luan Xunjie was hit by six arrows in his body, bleeding profusely, and he was speechless. The walls were damaged in many places, which made the next defensive situation even more severe.

More than half of the 40,000 defenders suffered casualties, and only 17,800 were currently able to fight. The losses of the defenders were much greater than those of the attackers, which was enough to prove how strong the overall strength of the Xuanwu army was.

The most important problem is that the stockpiles of flammable materials, which are the most effective in the defense, have been largely depleted. I don't know what else they can rely on for the next battle.

Deputy Marshal Zhao Qinghai, who has now taken over the heavy responsibility of command, looked at everything in front of him with a solemn face, silently rode away from Mingyang Fort, and walked to the depths of a dense forest not far behind Chengguan.

The forest was not far from the battle line, and became denser and denser as the mountain grew. In the depths of the forest, a simple barracks was built at some point, and Zhao Qinghai approached the barracks and saw the skinny Luo Ming with a few people facing him.

"You all have worked hard!" Luo Ming's words made Zhao Qinghai, who had been fighting for a day, full of emotion.

Luo Ming took Jiang Tengjiao, Quan Zhonghan, Zhao Hui, the fat man and the thin man to greet Zhao Qinghai in the temporary camp. This camp is Luo Ming's hole card, in which there are 7,000 Flying Tigers led by Jiang Tengjiao, and an army led by Quan Zhonghan composed of engineering troops and logistics troops, which is now temporarily named "Qilin Tiger Army", with a total of 35,000 people.

In addition, there are 10,000 people in the Heishui River army led by Gu Xinjie, the thin man and the fat man. The main force of Heishui River, with more than 10,000 people, had been incorporated into the border guards protecting the castle a few days ago, under the command of Luan Xunjie, the commander of Mingyang Fort, and Zhao Qinghai, the deputy marshal.
