Under the cover of the big shield, the rapidly advancing flame arrow cart quickly advanced to the vicinity of the city wall, and while the probation sergeants on the city wall were still cleaning up the remaining spell plants, they did not realize that a weapon that could help them clean up these hateful spell plants was coming.

Of course, Yao Chengtai was also aware of these strangely shaped nest box-type flame arrow cars, but because Huaiyou did an extremely good job in secrecy, not to mention Huaibei, even Huainan Li Yu and Caizhou Yuan didn't know much about Huaiyou's breakthrough progress in magic tools.

At most, they are aware that Huaiyou's great investment and progress in the magic Daozang is great, and the equipment used in the war is endless, but they don't know much about the power of the fire dragon cannon displayed on the water army.

In the eyes of Yao Chengtai and other probation generals, these strange-shaped nest box-type flame arrow carts should probably be similar to nest cars, The watchtower car is an auxiliary tool to observe the changes in the battle and command the battle situation through the flag, but they are a little strange that this kind of vehicle has three nest boxes above each one, and it seems to be smaller from the specifications, if you want to squat a person in it, it looks very aggrieved, and this trip will come out of seven or eight of these nest cars, which seems to be a little inconsistent with the observation command, and then some people wonder if there are archers hiding in it, and want to shoot the generals on the city wall in a condescending way.

It should be said that the final guess is already somewhat reliable, at least they can guess the attack method of crossbow arrows, but this crossbow arrow attack method is carried out in an attack method that they did not expect.

"My lord, if there are archers hidden on this nest car, it must be the archer of the Huaiyou Army, but no matter how the archer is, he has to show up to show it, and there are three nest boxes in one car, we only need to concentrate on the crossbow and wait for it to show up, concentrate on shooting, Rao is his great ability, and he can only become a hedgehog!" The staff officer next to him chattered endlessly, "This kind of seemingly bizarre but ineffective means can only be imagined by nouveau riche like Huaiyou, who rely on magic to take the sword to the edge, once it is punctured, it is useless." ”

Yao Chengtai ignored his staff officer, although he also agreed with the staff officer's point of view, but he still did not dare to take it lightly.

Huaiyou's endless tricks on the spell still made him vigilant, such means may not be able to make a meritorious effort, but if it keeps popping up like this, let yourself continue to suffer small losses, and accumulate it, it is also very terrible, especially in the case of the opponent's own strength, he is even more stretched.

"Well, order five hundred strong crossbowmen to be on guard in the city gate tower, and once the enemy approaches, they will hit and shoot!" Although he ignored the words of the staff officer, Yao Chengtai was still as good as a stream.

There is no harm in being on guard, and although the first wave of the enemy's offensive has retreated, it can be seen that the second wave of the offensive is ready to stop.

In particular, the opponent's stone artillery cart was pushed up again, so that his own catapult could only be worthy of its opponent with the help of height advantage, and the enemy's stone artillery cart range and angle adjustment efficiency were much higher than that of his own trebuchet, which could not help but make Yao Chengtai realize that the gap between himself and the Huaiyou army was all-round.

Maybe it's time to evacuate early tomorrow night or tonight?

When this thought floated in Yao Chengtai's heart, he knew that he had lost the will to fight in his heart, and this was undoubtedly the most dangerous for a military general.

Before he could really make up his mind, the firestorm beneath the city had already hit.

The six flame arrow carts were distributed in a semi-arc, each car was about ten paces apart, and quickly advanced to within fifty steps from the city gate, a flame arrow cart was under the blow of the opponent's trebuchet, although it was protected by a large shield, it still collapsed, and the magicians who operated the flame arrow cart grinned in distress, and hurriedly transferred the nest box down.

The car is not important, the key is that the process of this nest box is quite complicated, and the nest box is processed by magic to ensure that the flame arrow will not be hit by some external force in the nest box and deflagrate, the car is destroyed, only need to transplant this nest box to other cars, and you can immediately regain its power.

While the crossbowmen on the ramparts were waiting for a sharpshooter to emerge from the nest box, the Flame Archer finally came into play.

Hundreds of white phosphorus flame arrows suddenly erupted, emitting a sharp "Xiu Xiu" strange scream, and six flame arrow cars fired six hundred white phosphorus flame arrows at one time, and the attack targets of this white phosphorus flame arrows were concentrated in three areas, one was the strong crossbowmen gathering area of the city gate tower, the other was the defensive area that was being built and reinforced on the east side of the city gate, and there was the security area around the perimeter in between.

The huge power of the white phosphorus flame arrow made everyone really open their eyes, the flame arrow had already begun to burn in the air, and when it fell on the city, some broke apart, causing a fire, and some simply shattered, and all the entire line was on fire, and some of them were directly decomposed on the ground, and they burned when they were stained.

No one expected that these six uniquely shaped "nest cars" would be such a big killer, especially the characteristics of white phosphorus that quickly turned the entire city into a sea of fire.

The thousands of soldiers guarding this section of the city wall were swept up at once, and the characteristic of being burned out made almost all the probation troops included in the fire ring lose their chance to escape.

Even if there are water tanks and earthen bags for extinguishing fires on the wall of Qixian County, it is obviously impossible for them to take effect immediately in such a short period of time, and even if they are really saved, burns like this basically declare the death of the soldiers.

Yao Chengtai was like a lightning strike, and his eyes were about to crack.

As far as the eye can see, I saw a piece of fire, and the entire city wall was almost shrouded in flames within a radius of thirty zhang, and occasionally there were one or two places that had not yet been burned, and the soldiers rushed to the wolves, screaming again and again, and seeing that they could not avoid the fire, they simply transferred down the city wall and asked for luck.

Huaiyoujun's move is too fierce and vicious, this kind of thing that ignites at the touch is simply the Lord of Yama who devours people's lives, even if it is just burns, there is almost no reason to survive this kind of weather.

Fortunately, once this kind of fire is ignited, it will not choose the enemy like the previous spell plant, and even the Huaiyou Army will not be able to use this chaotic situation to break through.

Inside and outside the city, they all saw this piece of flames soaring into the sky and smoke, and the ordinary people in the city were even more panicked, thinking that this city was difficult to hold.

Yao Chengtai also sees it the same way.

He realized that he had underestimated the true strength of the Huaiyou Army before, especially the endless spell props and weapons of the Huaiyou Army, which seriously hit his self-confidence.

In this relatively fixed offensive and defensive environment, the defender does not have much room to maneuver, and the enemy can maximize the power of their long-range concentrated strike weapon, while the defender cannot mitigate the threat of damage by dodging or maneuvering.

The enemy's ferocious offensive forces them to constantly press a large number of soldiers up, and once they press the city wall, the enemy can use their magic props and equipment advantages to bring great damage to their own side, and if they take the way to hide and avoid the attack of these weapons, it is very easy to give the Huai Right Infantry Army a chance to break through.

It's almost an unsolvable problem.

Before, Yao Chengtai thought that he could easily hold on for three days and then calmly retreat, but now, he has no confidence, he only hopes that he can survive until tonight.

He knew very well that now he had no way to retreat, the attack from the north was still fierce, and at this time, as long as the slightest intention to retreat was revealed, it was afraid that it would trigger a major rout that was difficult to reverse, and no one could escape.

With the flames on the city wall gradually extinguished, the second round of the Huai Right Army's offensive was launched again, this time with Li Tong's Left Fifth Army as the main force, after suffering several rounds of continuous blows, the morale of the Reform Army was obviously greatly damaged, and the Left Fifth Army as a new force into the siege war, it was also a test of gnawing hard bones.

Li Tong knew very well that although the Fifth Left Army was formed early, it had not experienced a few decent battles, and this time the soldiers had an excellent opportunity to prove and temper themselves.

Wave after wave of soldiers rushed up along the approaching city car ladder, and the regrouped probation army on the city wall together, this kind of scene continued to be staged on the entire southern city wall, crossbow arrows, stones, rolling wood, at this time has retreated, the two sides bloody and naked frontal fighting, you live and die, this is the true meaning of the offensive and defensive war.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, when it slowed down slightly.

The hot climate also limited the continued commitment of both sides in this fierce battle, but also tested their will to fight.

The reforming army had realized the severity and cruelty of this war, and even foresaw the outcome of the war, Yao Chengtai had to consider how to deal with the situation if it continued.

Just when the fierce battle on the southern front was just slowing down, the battle in the northern city also entered a more intense stage.

For Zhang Ting and Chai Yong, this battle will be a key battle to prove themselves.

Since Zhang Ting took over the helm of the Fourth Left Army, he has always been eager to have a few wars with enough flavor to temper and prove himself, but whether it is the Battle of Shouzhou or the Battle of Luhao, he has never got a decent opportunity.

Now that opportunity has finally arrived.

For Chai Yong, this opportunity is even more precious.

In fact, after learning that Qin Han and Luo Chenggan had captured Fuli, Chai Yong already understood that the balance of the war in Xuzhou had tilted to the right of Huai, and for himself, the battle of Qixian might even be just a chance to prove himself.

There is no room for error.
