The fat man Yan Qiu saw the opportunity quickly, and used the "Dragon Body Method" in advance to avoid it, and was not caught in the flames. However, many of the surrounding soldiers were not so lucky, and nearly 100 people on both sides were killed and injured in the three explosions.

The huge shock wave of the explosion caused most of the arrows fired at Cai Yi and Cai Yan to deviate from the direction, but due to the large number of arrows, more than a dozen arrows still hit the target.

Although Cai Yi and Cai Yan both used their strength to the limit, and tried their best to avoid the vital points of their bodies, the huge power of the bed crossbow still scraped off several taels of flesh from them, making them fall under the fortress like bloody people.

And the fat man's side is also very uncomfortable, Cai Hejian's sneak attack caused him to lose nearly thirty bed crossbows at once, and there are nearly 100 casualties, which is the biggest damage he has suffered since he led the troops.

"Cai He and the old thief, your Uncle Yan Qiu wants you to pay for your life!" The fat man roared angrily, he turned his head to Li Xian and said: "Transfer all the bed crossbows for me, all aim at Cai He and the old thief, I want him to taste the taste of being set on fire by the bed crossbow!"

"Yes!" Li Xian was also furious, watching his brothers suffer heavy casualties, he couldn't wait to bite off a piece of Cai He's meat and the old thief.

The soldiers were very efficient, and they quickly completed the rewinding and aiming.

"Shoot!"

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

The remaining seventy bed crossbows once again showed their power under the roar of Yan Qiu, and more than two hundred giant arrows and black crows were facing Cai He and the cover.

Although Cai Hejian had already added a defensive "King Kong Talisman" to himself in advance, he was still not at ease and quickly retreated with his troops. But how can the speed of a person be faster than the arrows, and the more than 200 giant arrows are in front of him in an instant.

Cai Hejian was taken aback, he could see the fate of Cai Yi and Cai Yan clearly, although the soldiers desperately snatched them back, but looking at the situation, although the two of them were not dead, they only had one breath left.

He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Cai Yi and Cai Yan, so he immediately made a decision and took out a life-saving talisman that he had treasured for many years.

This is a Xuan-level lower-level defensive talisman "White Lotus Talisman", it can form a lotus-shaped protective circle to block external blows, this is a treasure that he spent a lot of money to get, but he didn't expect to use it here.

Cai Hejian didn't care too much about emotion, he crushed the talisman in his hand, and suddenly a white lotus-shaped light shield covered him, and at this time, the arrow of the bed crossbow also happened to shoot.

These huge arrows exploded as if they had hit something extremely hard.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

More than 200 arrows were blown apart one by one, and at this time, the seemingly thin layer of "White Lotus" slowly became shallow, and then disappeared into the night sky.

"I'll go! What is this?" The fat man Yan Qiu's eyes were about to pop out, and his bed crossbow was so easily broken by Cai Hejian, how could he not be surprised?

When the fat man Yan Qiu was surprised, Cai Hejian had a heartache on his face, this talisman was almost equal to half of his net worth, and it was originally intended to be used to save his life at a critical moment, but now it was consumed by these two hundred giant crossbow arrows.

"Boss, are you still beating that old guy?" Li Xianye asked Yan Qiu with a shocked face.

"That old guy has such a hard tortoise shell, and he runs faster than a rabbit, and he still hits a fart, immediately let the bed crossbow adjust its direction, if it can't hit the old one, let's hit the small one, don't let this group of turtle sons in the city run away easily!" Yan Qiu ordered with a hateful expression.

"Yes, boss!"

Li Xian immediately ordered his subordinates to adjust the direction of the bed crossbow, and at this time, due to the serious injuries and dying of the two commanders Cai Yi and Cai Yan, Cai He and Jian retreated from the battle, which made the morale of the Cai soldiers fall greatly. The Qin team took the opportunity to launch a general attack and drove the Cai soldiers on the city to the city in one fell swoop, while the Yan team took the opportunity to beat the water dogs and used many strong crossbows to kill the Cai soldiers.

The entire Cai army collapsed, and they all turned around and fled in the direction of Cai Hejian, and in the process of escaping, they withstood two waves of bed crossbow attacks, and suffered heavy casualties.

This attack suffered more heavy losses than the previous one, and after the battle, Cai Hejian lost a total of more than 500 troops in this attack. This can no longer be described as a broken muscle, because with the casualties of the first wave of attacks, he has already lost more than half of his troops, and if he is not replenished by personnel, he may no longer be able to launch a decent attack.

Cai Hejian stared at the North Gate Fortress with an iron face, he never thought that he would be blocked from this home-built fortress. There was no point in saying anything now, he knew that his support mission was a complete failure. I only hope that Cai Hezhong can hold it up, so that he still has a chance to turn the tables, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

He turned to one of his guards and said, "You immediately go back to Caiyi to inform the head of the family, just say that the situation has changed, the Cold Spring Mining Area is in danger of falling, let the head of the family deploy troops to support as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

The guard nodded in response, immediately turned the beast's head, and galloped away in the direction of Cai Yi.

The fat man Yan Qiu looked at the Cai army that was retreating step by step, and then called Li Xian and Le Yu over and said, "You two arrange for the brothers to take turns to rest, there should be no more fighting tonight." ”

"Boss, Cai and the old man are cowardly?" Li Xian had an expression of disbelief, in his cognition, the Cai family was very strong, and it was rare to see them suffer such a big loss, but they bowed their heads and admitted it.

"If he doesn't admit it, what can he do? Hmph, do you want his remaining seven hundred men to rush up and send him to his death?" Yan Qiu's fat face showed a mocking smile, Cai and Jian despised them from the beginning, and after the first wave of the offensive was blocked, they launched a second wave of even bigger offensive in anger, so that they suffered heavy losses and were unable to fight again, all of which were the consequences of underestimating the enemy.

Although his troops are all new recruits, and their combat power and experience are insufficient, this is a battle to defend the city, and their side occupies a huge geographical advantage and has sufficient equipment to defend the city, which virtually makes up for their shortcomings in other aspects. However, Cai Hejian did not properly analyze these possible situations, and boldly launched an attack under the condition of not knowing the enemy's situation, which was undefeatable.

The Art of War: "The victorious army wins first and then seeks battle, and the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory." That is to say, the victorious generals usually analyze first to make sure that they can win before opening the battle, while the defeated generals start the battle first, and then look for the possibility of victory. In this way, it is self-evident what the final result will be.

While the battle of the North Gate Fortress was in full swing, the South Gate Fortress also welcomed its "guests".

Yan Rong led the army to slowly approach this fortress like a giant beast in the night, and looking at the figures who were still busy on the fortress, he couldn't help but frown deeply.

The fact that the enemy defending the city was unabashedly building fortifications, and that there were so many of them, showed that the other party already knew that someone was coming, and that the other party was not afraid to tell the attackers that they would accompany them to the end.

Wei Liao and Han Zhang glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes, the guards in the city were not easy to deal with.

At this time, the Yan army also drove forward, looking at the busy city head with a gloomy face, where the lights were bright at the moment, and the people and craftsmen were busy, adding various large-scale city defense equipment and city defense materials to the city head. At a cursory glance, there are more than 20 bed crossbows that can be seen in the city alone, plus all kinds of other equipment to defend the city, and the entire fortress can almost be said to be armed to the point of teeth.

Yan Rong turned around and confirmed to Yan Jun, "Are Qin Tian's men really just recruits?"

Yan Jun also understood his brother's concerns, if the combat strength of Qin Tian's soldiers was the same as theirs, then it would be very difficult to capture such a strong fortress with the existing forces.

He thought about it carefully, and then said with certainty: "Qin Tian's subordinates are all miners in the mining area, and it is impossible for them to get reinforcements so quickly, so they must be new recruits." However, they have fought with my subordinates and Cai Hezhong's old ghost subordinates once or twice, and they can be regarded as having a little combat power. ”

Yan Rong nodded, and didn't say anything more, but directly ordered the troops to spread out on the spot. The troops spread out rapidly, and groups of soldiers marched forward, quickly filling the open space in front of the fortress.

Yan Rong led the pioneer cavalry to the front of the team, he raised his head and shouted at the fortress: "The leader of the city is Qin Tian?"

Qin Tian looked down at the city a little unexpectedly, Yan Rong actually knew his name, which made him a little strange. However, when he saw Ma Jun following closely behind Yan Rong, he understood the reason, it must have been Ma Jun who told Yan Rong about him.

"Master Yan, what are you doing here?" Qin Tian asked bluntly.

Qin Tian's rhetorical question made Yan Rong stunned, he didn't expect Qin Tian to actually know him, which couldn't help but make him suspicious, his eyes narrowed slightly to Qin Tian and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Hahaha! Yan Rong, the big boss of Heishi Village, who doesn't know that this Caiyi is thousands of miles around?" Qin Tian snorted, he didn't intend to tell Yan Rong the truth.

"Hmph!" Yan Rong snorted coldly, Qin Tian's answer obviously didn't satisfy him, but he also knew that Qin Tian didn't want to tell him the truth. He didn't want to dwell too much on these side branches, so he changed the topic and said: "Qin Tian, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you, I'm Yan someone in this Cold Spring Mining Area, what are the conditions, can you speak directly?"

"Big brother......" Yan Jun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"No need to say more! It's up to me to make the decision!" Yan Rong raised his hand and directly interrupted Yan Jun's words, and said categorically.

Yan Jun glanced at Yan Rong's unquestionable expression, and finally forcibly retreated. Yan Rong stared at Qin Tian tightly and asked, "What's the matter, Qin Tian, hurry up and make a decision?"
