Chapter 71: Can't Attack
In the early morning of the next day, the Qi army set out, and today, the Qi army carried huge siege equipment, rushing vehicles, ladders, catapults, etc., and once again surrounded the Lishan county city.
With the sound of the horn, the Qi army launched an attack without the slightest hesitation.
After Chu Chen received the report, he immediately set off to the city wall, only to see that the Qi army was equipped with all kinds of siege equipment, and was slowly approaching the city wall, with an army of more than one million, the momentum was really enough to bluff people.
"Big brother, what should we do now?" Li Ao had been following Chu Chen's side, and when he saw that the Qi army was finally attacking the city, he couldn't help but feel a little worried or scared in his heart, although he didn't admit that he was afraid.
When Li Ao asked, the other generals around him also looked at Chu Chen, waiting for his order.
"Leave some skilled soldiers to monitor the city wall, and the others go to hide under the city wall, and when the Qi army attacks the city, they will go up to the city wall to play with the Qi army. Chu Chen smiled, he had already let people build a defense under the city wall, as long as he dodged the attacks of those huge catapults of the Qi army, there was no need to worry about anything else, if he wanted to capture Lishan County, the Qi army still lacked a good pair of teeth.
Chu Chen's order was quickly passed down, and the soldiers on the city wall ran down the city tower one after another, leaving only a small number of people to monitor the movements of the enemy army.
When the Qi army pushed the stone to a close enough distance, the Qi army in a horn sound, the catapult was put on the boulder, tens of thousands of catapults at the same time to the Lishan County City launched an attack, for a time, the boulder fell on the city wall like a torrential rain, or in the city, at the same time, the Qi army infantry began to carry the ladder towards the Lishan County City.
A huge stone attack like a torrential rain, many places on the city wall were smashed into huge gaps, and even many boulders fell on the city wall, blocking the road on the city wall.
Soon, the infantry of the Qi army rushed under the city walls, and they set up a ladder, ready to climb up the ladder.
"Order the army to go up the city walls and prepare for a big battle. Chu Chen had been sitting on the city tower, watching the attack of the Qi army, Li Ao, Liu Xiangdong and the others were staying by Chu Chen's side, and at this time Chu Chen issued an order, and this order was naturally passed down quickly.
In just a few breaths, the Tianchen army galloped up the city wall, and at this time, the Qi army had just climbed to the top of the city wall, ready to climb into the city wall, but the Tianchen soldiers who were rushed over cut down with a knife, or stabbed down with a shot, or smashed down with a stone.
If someone can fly into the sky at this time and overlook the county town of Lishan, they will definitely see a very visual picture, the Qi army is like dense ants surrounding the county town of Lishan, climbing the ladder one after another.
"You can put oil and burn it. Chu Chen stood on the city wall, glanced down, and after seeing that the enemy's battering ram was pushed not far from the city gate, he said lightly.
The order was quickly passed down, and the soldiers began to transport the prepared oil from under the city wall to the city wall, and barrels of oil were opened and fell down the city wall, and then one by one, torches were thrown down the city wall, and suddenly, under the city, on the wall of the city wall, a raging fire burned, and for a time, the terrible screams resounded through the heavens and the earth.
Together, the Qi army under the city wall retreated one after another, away from the sea of fire.
"Withdraw!" After setting off a fire and burning back the Qi soldiers, Chu Chen spoke again, asking the soldiers to go down the city wall to avoid the Qi army's catapult attack.
Sure enough, when the Tianchen army retreated to the city wall, the Qi army's rainstorm-like boulder attack came as scheduled, and the city tower where Chu Chen was smashed by the boulders.
"Big brother, there are too many boulders, I'm afraid we can't resist it. Li Ao said to Chu Chen, when the boulder attacked, it was a few of them that blocked the boulder for Chu Chen, and the attack of the Qi army was too crazy at this time, and they couldn't be busy at all.
"You mind yourselves, and leave me alone. Chu Chen said.
The boulder attacked, Chu Chen didn't dodge or dodge, the body protection spirit shield suddenly came out, enveloping his whole person, and the falling boulder fell on his body protection spirit shield, which was directly bounced away, and it couldn't hurt him at all.
Seeing this, the people around were not surprised at all, their martial arts were all taught by Chu Chen, they could block the boulder attack, not to mention their Heavenly Emperor?
The attack of the boulder lasted for a whole time, until the sea of fire on the city wall was completely extinguished, and then stopped, and the infantry of the Qi army rushed towards the county town of Lishan again at this time.
This time, without Chu Chen's order, Liu Xiangdong and they passed the order down, and suddenly, the retreating soldiers galloped up again and fought with the enemy troops besieging the city.
"Pour oil!" Li Ao glanced under the city wall, and saw the familiar scene just now, and immediately did not need Chu Chen's order, he directly gave the order.
Next, the scene just now was repeated again, and the Qi army was burned and retreated.
When the Qi army retreated, the Qi army's trebuchet was running again, but this time, instead of directly attacking the city with stones, the Qi army poured oil on the stones and ignited them and threw barrels of oil over.
Seeing this, Chu Chen's eyes shrank slightly, and asked Li Ao and the other soldiers who stayed on the city wall to go down the city wall to hide first, and he stayed on the city wall one by one, and at the same time, let them prepare water to extinguish the fire when the enemy attacked the city.
Not long after, the city wall turned into a sea of fire, and Chu Chen stood alone in the sea of fire, looking at the Qi army under the city.
"The fire attack also wants to destroy my Tianchen Army, and you guys are too underestimate this emperor. A sneer appeared at the corner of Chu Chen's mouth, and he stood quietly in the sea of fire watching the attack of the Qi army.
The Qi army attacked two incense sticks this time before stopping, and the fire on the city wall burned for half an hour before it gradually decreased, and at this time, the Qi infantry attacked again with a cloud ladder.
"The Qi army is here, go up to the city tower!" Chu Chen spoke, and his voice clearly reached the city, and after Li Ao and the others heard it, they immediately issued an order to go up the city wall, so some soldiers carried buckets and some soldiers carried oil barrels up to the city wall.
Without the slightest surprise, this attack by the Qi army was again in vain, but instead buried the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in vain.
After the Qi army retreated this time, they did not attack again, but Mingjin withdrew his troops.
After the Qi army retreated, Chu Chen quickly received a battle report, today the Qi army attacked the city three times, losing at least 400,000 troops, and on their side, there were only less than 2,000 casualties, and the old foundation of the Tianchen army did not suffer any casualties.
"Release the scouts, let the soldiers prepare, and after midnight tonight, the army will break through to the east gate, take care of the wounded, and not leave a single person behind. After Chu Chen finished reading the battle report, he ordered everyone.
The Qi army is known as a two-million-strong army, and now it has lost almost half of it, Chu Chen believes that when they chase them to the three counties of Qing, Shui, and Wanshi, after his magic array is killed, the Qi army will be defeated, and then he waves his army north, what else will the Qi country use to confront him?
