With a series of orders, the operating soldiers had already developed the ability to be unfazed in ordinary exercises, even if the sea of fire was beside them, they did not panic too much, and strictly followed the operation process to advance.

With the issuance of the strike order, the huge throwing arm of each stone artillery cart began to rise, and only needed to follow the process of daily training, and the huge spring noose instantly threw the stone projectiles in the bomb magazine with great acceleration.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The stone projectile fell from the sky and hit the ground, and immediately the grass clippings flew and the earth churned, and the whole ground seemed to be crushed by thousands of horses, and there was a violent tremble.

This is the calligraphy device has undergone an abnormal change after being impacted by an external force, causing the barrier in the device to be damaged and the power of the spell to overflow, and the result is that the core point of the spell has a power impact overflow.

The ferocious power of the spell swelled outwards and spread outward, causing the earth within a radius of ten zhang to begin to tumble and swell like boiling magma.

There were constantly screams and snipers hidden in the dirt, but the power of the expansion and explosion of this soul stone after being hit by an external blow was not at all something that ordinary people could bear, and then spread in all directions.

"Well done!" Ganquan, who had already retreated to the rear, calmed down his churning blood, and nodded with satisfaction: "Liu Dudu handled it very decisively, and the effect is very good, please tell Liu Dudu, this kind of magic array Caizhou Army is not capable of making too much at all, one side is already the limit, and there may even be only this one, please seize the opportunity and advance as soon as possible!"

Zhuang Yongji hurriedly arranged for his own soldiers to inform Liu Yansi, which also meant that from here all the way to the east city gate, I am afraid that in this area outside the city wall, the enemy's hidden threat will be minimized, then again, even if there is really any threat, under the impact of this fierce magic array, I am afraid there is not much left.

Liu Yansi, who received Ganquan's report, was naturally overjoyed, and ordered the two armies to accelerate their advance and launch an offensive against the city gate within today's day.

Now the Heshuo army in the north and the Ziqing army on their own side have been matched, no one is willing to be someone else's background, who can be the first to break through the city gate and step into the city of Songcheng, which means that the first merit of the Central Plains War will be spent on his family.

No one can ignore this temptation, even if Jiang Feng repeatedly reminded both sides to pay attention to being counterattacked by the enemy, but with the strength of the two armies, everyone knew that it was impossible for the Caizhou army to throw a large army out of the city to counterattack, and that would only bring humiliation on itself.

The soldiers and masters continued to clean up the ashes and remnants in front of them, the ground was still hot, and a faint white gas was still coming out of the soil, but it could not stop the advancing army in the slightest.

The combined stone cannon cart behind the soldiers and the masters slowly moved forward under the impetus of the soldiers, the huge wooden wheels were half a person high, and the strong oxen on both sides pulled a thick crossbar, which allowed the stone artillery cart to advance more quickly.

Seeing the huge stone cannon figure slowly appear in the distance, Yuan Wushu on the city wall also felt a pang of tension in his heart.

The previous spell array seemed to have created a lot of momentum, and it did have the effect of delaying the opponent's advancement, but the real killing effect was not satisfactory, originally if the fire net could cover a full range, at least it could kill and injure more than a thousand enemy troops within the opponent's range, but there was a quite strong spell master hidden in the opponent, which suppressed the spread of the fire array in a very short time, and even suppressed the fire point.

Being able to deal with and deal with it successfully in such a short period of time is not good for non-magic grandmaster-level roles, and the other party has sent all the magic masters to the front line, which is enough to show that the Xuzhou army attaches great importance to this battle and is determined to win.

Although there are still a large number of magic traps and magic arrays arranged on the moat and city walls, judging from the resolute and decisive pace of the Xuzhou army, the Xuzhou army also has an attitude of not being afraid of sacrifice, that is, to launch an attack at the first time, which adds to Yuan Wuwei's inner worry.

Several figures jumped up from under the city wall, and the powerful crossbowmen next to them were ready to fight, of course, the enemy could not rush forward in such a big way, it could only be their own soldiers.

As expected, it was Yuan Wenji and others.

After completing the attack, they also faced the enemy's counterattack, and there was even a very unlucky Heavenly Realm master, who was directly hit by a stone bullet, even if he avoided it with a blade in time, but the huge kinetic energy brought by the boulder still made the opponent lose his combat effectiveness on the spot, and he was carried back.

"Third brother!"

"How's the situation?" asked Yuan Wuwei with concern.

Yuan Wenji, who was not very good-looking, shook his head: "It's not good, the Xuzhou army sent a large number of magicians, they followed the infantry to move together, and the stone artillery carts and ballista carts also followed, and there should be two armies on the offensive in this round." ”

Two armies? Yuan Wuwei nodded silently, the first round of offensive on a city wall invested two armies, and the Xuzhou army had enough troops to launch a wheel war, but his own side and them could not afford to spend it.

Especially when the local stone artillery and ballista approach, the two sides will face off head-to-head, and the damage will increase exponentially, which is the trickiest thing.

The head of the family has ordered the private army of the gentry in the city to be assembled, and once the Xuzhou army begins to launch an attack on the city wall, then these private troops will go out of the city to launch a surprise attack.

And the Caizhou army will fight with the enemy on the city wall, this is also a showdown without any tricks, the only advantage is probably to rely on the advantage of the city wall, condescending to strike at the enemy, but the Xuzhou army in the equipment to show the super strength, and people have to think twice about whether this strategy can achieve the desired goal.

In the final analysis, this is a competition of comprehensive strength between the two sides, fighting for consumption, the consumption of troops and materials, the slower the consumption rate, the thicker the replenishment, then the final victory can be won.

"Third brother. ”

"What's wrong?" Yuan Wuwei retracted his gaze and landed on Yuan Wenji's face.

"I don't feel very good, the Xuzhou Army is the same as before, their adaptability has improved a lot, and their supplement is very strong, we can't keep up. Yuan Wenji stroked the Yanyang Red Flame Bow in his hand, and looked at the road ahead with some gloom.

Yuan Wuwei's heart was slightly shocked, and even Yuan Wenji looked at it like this, indicating that many people in the army's camp were not very optimistic about this battle, which was very dangerous.

"Why do you say that?"

"We launched a large array of spells, covering a wide area, huge power, if it was an ordinary army, I am afraid it would have collapsed a long time ago, but the Xuzhou army has a very strong ability to deal with it, and quickly curbed the development of the situation, and those soldiers quickly regained their composure under the shouting of the officers, and re-formed the team to prevent us from taking advantage of the situation to cover up, in fact, we have no ability to take advantage of the situation to cover up, but from this point of view, their combat effectiveness is very tenacious, tenacious, and it is a very difficult army. ”

Yuan Wuwei was silent.

"If this tenacity of the Xuzhou army is reflected in the siege, we will pay a great price for it, and our existing preparations are not enough to withstand the enemy's offensive. Yuan Wenji looked at Yuan Wuwei, "We need to find more means to deal with it." ”

"What do you suggest?" Yuan Wuwei stroked his chin and said in a deep voice: "What we can do has already been done, if we want to persecute the gentry in the city again, I am afraid it will cause a riot." ”

"If we can't do this, then third brother, are we ready to evacuate the strategy?" Yuan Wenji hesitated for a while before asking in a dumb voice.

Yuan Wuwei glanced at Yuan Wenji in shock, he didn't expect that what Yuan Wenji said should be to prepare to evacuate, if even Yuan Wenji and other backbones are not optimistic about this battle, and even consider retreating, then how can this battle be fought?

"Do you think we should evacuate?" Yuan Wuwei's voice became a little low and threatening.

"Third brother, I know you must be upset that you say that to me, but that's how I feel. Yuan Wenji seemed to expect Yuan Wuwei's reaction, "Such a huge magic array has not been able to stop the enemy's attack, which is enough to prove the enemy's determination and confidence, I don't think they are bluffing, this is fearless, but the means we can deal with it are not enough." ”

"But you should know that once we evacuate Songcheng, how should we deal with the Xuzhou army's approach?" Yuan Wuwei asked rhetorically.

"Withdraw the troops of Mizhou, we can confront the Xuzhou army in Chenzhou and Bozhou, the Mizhou side has dragged our main mobile forces, but it is useless for us, it should be the business of the Shatuo people, we should not intervene in the war on the Nanyang side!" Yuan Wenji shook his head, "This is the biggest mistake, and it also gives Xuzhou the opportunity to attack us." ”

"If we don't attack Nanyang, will Xuzhou let us go?" Yuan Wuwei sneered. Wen Ji, you think things too simply, Xuzhou has long been ambitious, the contradiction between us and Jiang Feng has long been irreconcilable, we attack Nanyang, not to take Mizhou, but to solve the Liu family, to lay the foundation for us to seize Shen'an Qihuang in the future, as long as we can hold Songcheng for a period of time, we can attract a turnaround, Shatuo people should also see clearly, who is the biggest obstacle and opponent in their attempt to dominate the Central Plains, Wei Bo's army will send troops eastward under the pressure of the Shatuo people, this is our opportunity. ”

"But can we hold out until that time?When will the Shatuo people break through Luyang Pass and go south?" said Yuan Wenji suspiciously.

"You think too closely about the relationship between the two Liu, Liu Xuan has long wanted to replace Liu Tong, if I am not mistaken, Liu Xuan will not move, then the Shatuo people can take the road from Xuzhou directly south to Mizhou and then turn west, as long as Nanyang Mansion collapses, it should be a turning point on our side. Even Yuan Wuwei felt that this idea was a bit illusory, not that this possibility was unlikely, but whether it was timely.
