The soldiers of the ironclad battalion were covered in heavy armor, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. Although Fuso's rain of arrows is dense, the damage caused is very small.

One by one, the ironclad heavy infantry, carrying heavy sandbags, rushed up against the dense rain of arrows, and when they reached the moat, they put the sandbags on their shoulders into the river, turned around and ran backwards, and then rushed up with sandbags on their shoulders again.

Although the Fuso people occupy a favorable position and have many archers, they have no choice but to watch the moat being filled up little by little with these ironclad heavy infantry covered with turtle shells.

Half an hour later, the moat, which was four or five zhang wide, had been filled out with more than 20 roads more than two zhang wide. And the entire ironclad battalion, except for more than a hundred or so unlucky people who were wounded, did not die for a while.

After a short rest, the ironclad battalion finally began to attack in earnest!

Tens of thousands of ironclad heavy infantry, with heavy steps, pushing more than 20 siege vehicles, carrying battering rams and siege ladders, began to rush up.

In the beginning, the speed of the ironclad battalion was not fast, but the closer you got to the city wall, the faster the charge!

There were also more than 20 siege vehicles that were a head taller than the city wall and extremely heavy, which were pulled forward and pushed back by dozens of ironclad battalion soldiers, and slowly approached the city wall of Pingcheng.

Although the number of siege vehicles is small, it is an absolute weapon in siege warfare. As long as the bulky siege engines were able to get close to the walls, they could lower the drawbridges and carry a steady stream of soldiers to the walls.

The role of siege vehicles in siege warfare was so important that the Fuso people certainly did not take it lightly.

As soon as the siege engines approached the moat, the Fuso people began to throw canisters of fire oil outside.

This pot of oil is a clay pot that is often filled with water, and after filling it with oil, it is made of clay sealing. It's easy to make, but it's amazing!

"Bang bang bang!" A series of sounds of the clay pot breaking! The fire oil in the clay pot splashed in all directions. Almost every siege vehicle was hit by several canisters. The splashing of fire oil suddenly stained the siege vehicle up and down. Even the soldiers of the ironclad battalion who pushed and pulled the siege vehicles had a lot of them on them.

After throwing a round of oil cans, the Fuso people then dropped rockets out!

I saw that on the head of Pingcheng City, countless fireworks suddenly flew up, and the scene was spectacular!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Countless rockets ignited the oil in an instant, and more than 20 siege vehicles suddenly ignited a raging fire like huge torches.

And many soldiers of the ironclad battalion who were stuck to the oil were also ignited by the rockets and turned into torches of human oil!

Heavy armor can defend against bows and arrows, but not fire!

Hundreds of soldiers of the Ironclad Battalion who had been set on fire rolled around the ground with terrible screams, hoping to extinguish the flames. But the ground was also covered with oil, and instead of extinguishing the fire on their bodies, they turned the surroundings into a sea of fire. The soldiers in the middle of it, their thick armor burned red, and after a moment of desperate struggle, they were burned into a ball of charcoal.

A small number of soldiers who were on fire, although they were frightened, they still managed to maintain a trace of clarity, and hurriedly jumped into the moat in a few steps, and the fire on their bodies was extinguished in an instant.

But they forgot that the heavy armor they were wearing made them jump into the river more than a foot deep, and immediately turned into a weighing stone and sank to the bottom of the water, no matter how much they struggled, they could no longer float!

Only a very small number of people, with the help of their comrades, barely climbed ashore, but the biting water of the river was trembling, at least for now, they could no longer charge!

And the wooden siege vehicle, although nailed a layer of iron sheet to the key position, how can it withstand the destruction of the fire.

For a time, in front of the five- or six-mile-long city wall, there were raging fires everywhere, and the smoke was thick and the heat was overwhelming.

Xue Wanche had a calm face, looked at everything in front of him, and waved his hand without hesitation: "Order, let the ironclad battalion retreat first, and then attack when the fire is extinguished!"

The soldiers of the ironclad battalion, who had hesitated before the fire, retreated in an orderly manner to repair a little after receiving the order.

At this time, I heard Xue Wanche say coldly: "Hmph! This method of defending the city using fire oil is a common trick used by the people of Western Qin, but I didn't expect the Fusang people to learn it!"

Zhou Hao's heart moved when he heard this, and he turned his head sideways at Xue Wanche and said: "General, the people of the Western Qin are our enemies, the Fusang people are also our enemies, and the enemies of the enemy are friends!

Xue Wanche was slightly stunned and said: "Haozi, what you said is very possible!!! Although our Northern Yan and Western Qin have been enemies for generations, they are both descendants of Xuanyuan and have the same blood! It is really sad that the brothers are bullied by outsiders on the wall!"

After Xue Wanche finished speaking, he then thought that since the decline of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, the princes have been constantly fighting each other, and the enmity between Northern Yan and Western Qin is as deep as the sea, and they are eager to kill each other to the point that they will not be left behind, where can we talk about any blood friendship!

Xue Wanche shook his head helplessly, and drew his attention back to the battlefield.

By this time, the fire in front of the city wall had gradually been extinguished. Seeing this situation, Xue Wanche waved his hand and sent the rested ironclad battalion up again.

Although there are no siege engines, there are siege ladders and battering rams. As long as you can break through the city gates, or grab a foothold on the city walls, there is great hope for breaking through the flat city.

The ironclad battalion rushed forward again, and without the siege engines, the soldiers attacked faster. After a while, they were killed under the city walls, set up a siege ladder and began to attack.

I saw the soldiers of the ironclad battalion, holding the big sword in their mouths, holding the shield above the lord's head in one hand, and grasping the siege ladder in the other, desperately climbing up.

And the Fuso people at the head of the city, seeing that the bow and arrow were of no use, gave up the bow and arrow, picked up the stone and threw it down.

The large stones smashed the iron shield with a rattle, but it still couldn't stop the ironclad heavy infantry from continuing to rush upward.

The Fuso people saw that the stone did not have much effect, so they released the rolling log.

The barrel-thick, more than a foot long, rolled down the siege ladder quickly. At this moment, the iron shield and armor could not resist it, and countless soldiers of the ironclad battalion were smashed down from the siege ladder and turned into a puddle of flesh!

But the soldiers of the ironclad battalion did not flinch, and were smashed down in one wave, and the latter wave continued to rush upwards without dying, and after being stoned to death, they continued to organize an attack!

For a time, under the high city walls, blood flowed everywhere, corpses were everywhere, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the painful wails of seriously wounded soldiers!

However, in just over two quarters of an hour, the soldiers of the ironclad battalion lost more than 2,000 people!
