After a day of experiments, the soldiers who set up the light shield array also had some experience, knowing when the sunlight was most likely to cause heavenly fire, and also understood how to arrange the shield in order to gather sunlight most effectively.

In fact, this time is not the most suitable time to use the fire of the sky, only when noon is about to pass, and when the time is approaching, is the time when the sun is the most domineering!
Now with the help of the Sky Fire, it takes a long time, but every day it seems that the sun rises in the same place at the same time, and then lands in the opposite direction, in fact, the trajectory is not exactly the same, so the light shield array needs to do a lot of adjustment of the angle, which is also very 'time-consuming'.
The crossbow arrows on the mountain really shocked the Xuan army on the mountain, and the white 'colored' barrier on the mountainside and the top of the mountain appeared 'wave', which must have been shocking!
This is the result that Ye Kongshan wants, let those thieves know that Denghua City has a domineering weapon that makes them unable to rush under the city wall at all, and if they want to find their own death, then let the horse come!
Of course the Xuan army will not come, there is still no movement on the Xuan camp, except for those guys who are standing on the top of the mountain pretending to be gods and ghosts, the Xuan army team does not seem to plan to attack the city today!
The defenders on the city wall stood bored, and they were more uncomfortable than their companions below, because there could be no shade or shade above, while the soldiers below looked for a place, sat or reclined, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
I was so tired last night, I didn't sleep all night after being nervous, I didn't expect this to be the case today! Some people even quietly took off their armor, and their underwear was already soaked!
Everyone was a little asleep. A soldier's eyes swept under the walls, blinked, and 'rubbed' his eyes. Just now he seemed to see a puff of green smoke coming out of there, but when he looked at it again, it was gone!
There are three places where the barrels are stacked, and this one is the largest, with more than 500 barrels piled up, and they are as high as the city walls!
The soldier knew what was in the bucket and what it was for, so when he saw the smoke, he snorted and sat up at once, startling his companion next to him, and then sat up and asked him, "What's the matter?"
The soldier pointed to the barrel over there and said, "No, I just saw smoke coming from there..."
The companion followed his gaze, closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, and said angrily, "Bear your head!
"It's on fire!" the soldier screamed, startling him, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw black smoke rising from the barrel pile, and the wooden shell outside had been burned through, and with a "bang", a wine barrel exploded, and a huge fire exploded in all directions, pouring onto the barrel below, and a larger flame rose into the sky!
Everyone's faces turned white! The power of this thing after it caught fire was known to everyone in the Denghua Army! Ye Kongshan stood on the city wall and shouted: "Disperse!"
"Bang, bang!" The barrels exploded one after another, and the burning wood chips and liquor rushed into the sky, and then fell on the soldiers on the city walls that could not be evaded!
In order to avoid leaking 'dew' or infiltration, these barrels are sealed relatively tightly, and some of them are even deliberately made to make them explode, and they are thrown out with catapults!
It's a pity that not a single Xuan soldier was injured, but he set himself on fire! The plan for now is not to let all the wine barrels ignite, because many of them are used to make fire 'medicine' barrels, and there are not only wine in them, but also other things such as gravel and iron pieces, once they explode, the consequences are unimaginable!
"Quick! Move these barrels out of the way, don't let the fire splash over here!" Ye Kongshan immediately ran down from the city wall, dodging the overwhelming flames, and gave orders to the soldiers who were stunned and did not dare to move forward. [hua.There are almost all the books I want to read.,It's much more stable than the general station, and the update is faster.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]
Immediately, an adjutant general greeted him, and led everyone to run to the pile of wine barrels next to him, and as soon as he arrived, the lieutenant general saw a dazzling point of light on a wine barrel above his head, and green smoke and flames came out around the point of light, and the lieutenant general was frightened and shouted behind him: "Run!"
I heard a "bang!" in front of him, the barrel exploded, and the burning flames sprayed the lieutenant general, and before his screams could be released, bigger explosions began one after another!
The entire area around the 'Gate' of the South City has been completely turned into a sea of fire, and such an explosion is not powerful enough to blow down the city walls, but it has burned everything that can be burned!
The soldiers on the city wall had no way to escape, and the piles of wine barrels placed for convenience sealed the entire southern city wall, and the flames were like a dragon devouring everything, constantly devouring them!
Many soldiers were buried in the fire because they could not escape, and some of the soldiers jumped down desperately, just fell into the fire, and were burned and rolled and howled until they were motionless!
The dense drumming came from far and near, and the Xuan army, which had not moved all morning, is finally here! The wasteland is shaking, and the black and oppressive Xuan army is from far and near, and the speed is unhurried, but it makes people feel an unrivaled momentum even more!
There were four or five hundred Denghua soldiers who jumped down from the city wall, and some of them were surrounded by flames, and they were burned and screamed, but no one went to put out the fire, because those who could run had already run, and those who couldn't even take care of themselves, where was there still the strength to save others!
In the face of the Xuanbing soldiers who were getting closer and closer, the dying Denghua soldiers who had been burned finally 'revealed' their desperate looks, howling and rolling towards the moat next to them, "Boom!", the thick layer of grease floating on the moat has been ignited!
The fire separated the wasteland from Denghua City, and the Xuan army had already come to the city, stopping at a distance of 100 paces!
An arrow 'shot' into the sky, and soon, the fire in the moat fell strangely, and the flames became smaller and smaller!
There are also some Denghua soldiers who fell outside the city wall when they jumped off the city wall and were injured in their feet, unable to escape in time, seeing the strange scene in front of them, they couldn't help but run to the river in surprise, and took a look down at the baking, only to find that it was not the fire that was going to be extinguished, but the river was led away!
Who led the river away? Looking at the direction of this flow, it actually flowed into... Town?!
Soon, there were explosions in the city, and Denghua City turned into a sea of fire within half an hour!
At this time, the Xuan army began to throw the stones and soil that had been prepared into the moat, paving a road one zhang wide.
Dozens of Xuan soldiers carried a thick sasshole, shouted in unison, and rushed to the city gate! "Bang! bang!" With a bang, the strong city 'gate' made a palpitating sound, and a large 'hole' was soon knocked out of the middle of the city 'gate', and a large number of Xuan soldiers rushed forward, took out the sandbags and sacks inside, and threw them into the moat behind!
Now the siege of the Xuanjun army can be said to be completely unscrupulous! The blazing fire on the city wall is more powerful than any bow and arrow, the city defenders have already been burned to the ground, and the sharp weapons they rely on to defend the city have become their own life talismans, a large number of city defenders jumped off the city wall regardless of the same, and only a few people escaped from the ascension to heaven, but they were already burned out and had no ability to fight!
"Boom!" The city 'gate' was finally breached, and a large number of Xuan troops rushed in like raging seawater, they were like hell messengers running out of the fire, raising the Xuan Spear in their hands, and fiercely rushed towards the city defense soldiers who had been defeated!
The city defense soldiers had completely lost their formation to meet the enemy, and they were already dizzy from the fire! Even if the Xuan soldiers did not attack, they would almost be unable to support themselves!
Some people were not burned at all, but they still fell to the ground! It was a hot day, and with such a big fire, and they were wearing thick armor, their whole bodies seemed to be stuffed into a red-hot hearth, and they could tremble through a layer of clothes, and some people even fainted directly from the heat!
I have to say that Ye Kongshan is a very virtuous person, and his subordinates are in chaos, and he swears not to surrender! But without the cover of the city, it is simply a fool's dream to use his 10,000 people to deal with 200,000 Xuan troops!
So he was defeated, he was very unwilling, he was still looking up to the sky and sighing before he killed himself, saying that the sky will not help me, today's city is not the incompetence of the defenders, but the injustice of God, helping the Xuan army!
Until he died, he thought that he had been defeated in the hands of God, and he did not understand the mystery of the Xuan Army's light shield array! In this battle, except for a few people who were burned when the Xuan Army entered the city, no one was killed in battle. And 1,000 of the city guards died in the fire, 2,000 died in the encirclement and suppression of the Xuan army, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were all taken prisoner!
At this point, the three largest towns in the hinterland of the Central Plains have been mastered by the Xuan army, with Baitou Mountain as the center, spreading around, and those large and small cities have a crisis of soldiers coming to the city.
Xuan Bao can't take care of these things for the time being, and he has more importantly, that is, to lead Xuan Bing to turn back and fight in the four cities of Liuzi!
200,000 when he came, and 200,000 when he returned, but 10,000 of them were prisoners of the three towns, and the Xuan army left 10,000 people to garrison the three towns.
Outside Nanping City, the fourth school battalion of the Qilin Corps, which arranged a light shield array on the mountain, caught up with the army, and at this moment it was already the time of the year, and the army was camped outside Nanping City, and early tomorrow morning, march to Liuzi!
Yue'er hung high, and Xuanbao stood on the dirt slope outside the camp, looking at the dense military tent in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly.
Tie Yi and Dan Niang stood beside him, feeling that he was a little uneasy, they looked at each other and sighed. Since they joined the army, they hadn't seen Xuanbao 'show' a smile, but if they asked him what he was unhappy about, he couldn't say!
Danniang grabbed Xuanbao's arm and said, "Xianggong, are you worried about the ghost hand, afraid that he will be alone and in danger?"
As soon as Denghua City was broken, the prefect Gao Yuefei was taken away by the ghost hands, and one of his wishes was fulfilled. Xuan Bao once said to the ghost hand that the Xuan army will not go north from Denghua, but will march west and attack Liuzi!
Ghost Hand also understood that Xuanbao had his own plan, so he didn't say much, but Danniang and Tie Yi were afraid that he would be revengeful and do irrational things!
Xuan Bao sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't think the ghost hand will be so impulsive! Although this son is young, he is quite forbearing! I am not worried about him!"
