The light curtain of the magic circle rose up to block it, and six or seven red flames exploded in the air, pouring down like a torrential rain of iron pieces, which was successfully intercepted by five real people in advance, and some intercepted two.

Liu Zhenren hurried and intercepted a true leaf fire mine at the nearest 300 meters, and "boomed" to detonate this one

Before he could catch his breath, he saw a few fires shining in several places, and a deafening explosion rang out continuously, and the ripples of the impact made many people on the wall stand unsteadily, and mushroom clouds rose.

Even if most of it was oil canisters and stones, even one hundredth of them caused the sky to glow, and the flesh burned in the sputter of oil and fire.

The walls are mostly made of stone bricks, but there are also wooden structures, which collapsed one by one in the explosion of the mushroom cloud and burned like papier-mâché.

Pieces of iron, like arrows, pierced through the bodies of soldiers and officers, and the iron armor could not stop them in the slightest, causing blood to splatter their stumps.

The debris scattered by the collapse also caused huge casualties to the city, the soldiers blew up or fell down, more people rolled and crawled screaming, and some people suddenly lost their hearing.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Liu Zhenren immediately avoided behind an obstacle, such a huge lethality, his own talisman technique may not be able to resist.

When the smoke cleared, Liu Zhenren saw the situation in front of him clearly, the city wall where the mushroom cloud was located was already full of mutilated corpses of soldiers and officers, their bodies had turned into corpses, and internal organs were everywhere, but they had not completely lost their lives, they were still squirming and steaming.

However, in the next moment, Liu Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief, even if there was an area where the mushroom cloud exploded, the protective array had played a role, and there were places where the fracture and collapsed, but the hole was not big.

Just as he was thinking, a voice startled him and looked closely. But an officer who had blown up to the wall fell and fell, not dead for a while, struggling vaguely, gulps of blood spurted out.

Liu Zhenren couldn't help scolding, and he didn't know who to scold.

And then, the soldiers woke up from the shock of the explosion, their morale was greatly lost, and they instinctively cried and fled, but after a while, Liu Zhenren heard the officer's angry scolding and shouting voice, and looked from above, only to see a group of pro-soldiers pounce up, raise their knives and slash: "Whoever dares to flee, correct the law on the spot"

At this time, he came to his senses, and the officers shouted one after another: "Whoever dares to flee must be punished on the spot."

"Knock Knock"

The enemy's war drums sounded, and another female voice gave the order to spread throughout the battlefield: "Release"

"Whew-"

The second wave of meteor showers struck again from the opposite side, and without giving a chance to breathe, one after another firelight fell, and in the hoarse shouts of real human voices, the city walls shook violently, and the deafening explosions continued, and dense fires and smoke rose into the sky.

This 200-meter-long area was shrouded in thick smoke, and this time 20 leaf fire mines were added, and the casualties were even heavier...... The splashing of iron in the range can be described as dense as rain.

Within the range, whether it was a person wearing heavy armor or a cloth robe, no matter who it was, they were all swept away, and thick blood mist filled out, and flesh and blood splashed all over the ground.

Those who were lucky not to die, there were constantly people calling the Han people like crazy, crowding each other and blocking each other, causing a lot of chaos.

Many Xiliang soldiers were terrified in their eyes, and some of the bravest Qiang soldiers in ordinary times shouted wildly, almost thinking that heaven would punish them.

On the gatehouse of the core protection, Hu Zhen himself was not affected, and only stared at the envoy Zhenren: "If you come two or three more times, your morale will collapse, and if you want to fight, you must upgrade the magic array for protection."

"It's not going to work...... Our mana will be depleted ...... early."

"This line" Hu Zhen's eyes were about to erupt with fire: "Cao Cao's feedback is very clear, Ye Qing lacks enough Ye Huo Thunder in his hands, how many are the total number of them? Fifty of them? Killing can't raise as many as a hundred......

The envoy Zhenren's face was very ugly, he knew that this was true, and the spiritual energy of the earth had just flourished, and the spirit stone output was not much, but he thought that these indigenous cannon fodder could hold out for a few more rounds, and now they had to shoot in the first round, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous to fight like this?

Hu Zhen thought that he was thinking about the number, and couldn't help but persuade more urgently: "The total amount should be so much, he doesn't have to rush to mix twenty in the second round, this is for fear that we will react to your magic circle and use it again, and he will dare to press all of them in the third round and destroy them directly."

The envoy was really shocked, and he realized that this was the truth, and Ye Qing's style would indeed be like this.

And Zhang Jiao's order also echoed in his ears: "The elite of this sect is being led by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and they are acting in Hanzhong in the southwest...... You are strong on this side, and the bottom line is more than five days."

The master clearly ordered that if he didn't want to die, he must not cross this bottom line......

"Let's open the magic circle with all my strength, pay attention to replenishing the spiritual objects, and all the magicians will follow the order of the drill and follow the order to stand ......"

"Replenish Battle Damage"

"Strike Back"

Although there is a Taoist priest transmitting the voice, there are some things that cannot be replaced by nervous drives, and the general is shouting hoarsely

A crystal curtain of light rose in the city, and the military spirit boiled.

Ye Qing saw it from a distance under the banner of Shuai, exchanged a few words with Qianqian, and then looked back and nodded to the strategists such as Guo Jia, Xu You, and Chen Deng: "Thanks to all of you who have been planning for a few days, you have taken the enemy by surprise...... But we're not here yet. ”

"The war has just begun"

"However, if we had a few hundred fire mines, we could have destroyed them in one fell swoop. Ye Qing said with a little regret.

"My lord, even if you don't have a few hundred leaves of fire and thunder, everything is under your control. Guo Jia took a step forward and said.

"Ha Lu Ha" Ye Qing smiled silently, and ordered: "The method array has been fully activated, and I don't dare to revoke it at will, the stone throwing group will be replaced with an ordinary stone projectile."

"Also, the next project will be accelerated. ”

The "yes" order was issued immediately.

"Hurry, hurry—"

Behind the trebuchet matrix group, 1,500 meters away from the Tiger Prison Pass, a large-scale earth-building operation is underway

Hundreds of thousands of sergeants, according to their respective princes, were assigned to work on a long or short embankment, and a group of hundreds of sergeants, basically without armor, only with long knives as a defense, trotted all the way from the excavation site near the camp to resist thick and heavy bags of earth, and dumped on the embryonic earthen embankment, and on the embankment there was a wave of rammed earth men responsible for tamping the soil.

It seems to be an advantage of the farming tradition, the traditional skill of the Chinese soldiers is civil engineering, and any camp will be accompanied by a large number of trenches and earth walls, so this excavation work that was carried out in advance did not make Dong Zhuofang vigilant at all, and even used it as evidence of the deep estrangement between the princes of the battalions.

No one knew the intention of Ye Qing to order this project, and even the governor and Yu Fan had just learned of this order...... Because Ye Qing is going to borrow their soldiers' labor.

Yu Fan stood on the dirt slope, looking through the fog at the fierce trebuchet attack in front, Ye Qing seemed to have exhausted the Ye Fire Thunder, and even the fire oil bombs that specialized in killing and wounding soldiers were shot together, and all of them were switched to ordinary stone bullets.

In the rumbling sound, the sky above the first three miles was full of gray shadows flying on the ground, and every time they landed, they were bloody and rainy, or destroyed houses and siege equipment......

Previously, the raging fire caused by thousands of fire oil bombs on the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass had already been extinguished, and the Taoist group on the opposite side spent the cost to implement the Ganlin Drop to extinguish the fire, and the ordinary stone bullets only caused a tremor on the city wall after the reinforcement of the magic circle, even if there was no major problem, it also dealt a heavy blow to the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the number of thousands of trebuchets was only five times that of the Guancheng...... It's just heavy firepower.

There are fewer and fewer stone bullets thrown in the city, and they are obviously suppressed and destroyed by concentrated fire, and once a situation of pure beating is formed in the air, morale will only decline faster.

Yu Fan knew that the attack and defense of the Guancheng in the plain of the Dao Plain, the defender would inevitably cause a disadvantage in the total amount of offensive and defensive equipment in the case of inferior troops, because of the limitation of the city's capacity and various street and alley restrictions, no matter how big the Guancheng would be dwarfed by the enemy's larger formation.

"Ye Qing should know that no matter how low the morale of the Xiliang Army is, after all, it is a regular army, and the officers and men are the same, and the determination to defend for ten days is still ...... I don't think that smashing it can be as easy as the thieves in Xuzhou to break the Qingzhou......"

Thinking of this, he frowned and wanted to go back to Ye Qing's order for the earthworks, and laughed at himself in his heart, he was regarded as a miscellaneous person again.

"Bear with me. He calmed down, this matter was not to let his soldiers be cannon fodder, which was very satisfying - what really made people suspicious was Ye Qing's purpose.

Shoot in a formation of ground?

The standard of the earth embankment with a height of ten meters is level with the Tiger Prison Pass, but the distance of three miles is too far, and the big yellow crossbow with the longest effective shooting distance is only one mile, and the last row of the trebuchet matrix is only this position......

Or a mound of earth to siege the city?

1,500 meters all the way over, but it can be kept at the level of the city wall under the protection of the crossbow array, but it is meaningless to only pile up a few ramps, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass magic circle is not broken, the magician has a way to drive people down from a few ramps......

Yu Fan thought to himself that if he had a long-term confrontation, there was no other way to build a mound of earth in the front of Shili, but he would not choose 1,500 meters, how much earthwork would be needed so far...... Crazy?

Yu Fan didn't think Ye Qing was crazy, even if Ye Qing went crazy, his group of strategists wouldn't go crazy......

What's more, the real person of Taiping Dao revealed that the dragon qi was hidden - Ye Qing's dragon qi had moved, and the fact that this could not be concealed was a quick attack

Could it be that after the sailor's expedition to the west and Gongsun Zhan's attack on Jizhou, this dragon qi rapid attack is the third way to obstruct the eyes?

"The real person of Taiping Dao, everyone knows that Lu Dao is clearly a foreign demon, and he can't be trusted or not, but I'm afraid that I can't guarantee whether what I say is accurate...... Otherwise, the assassination that night would have cost three real people to go in?"

Yu Fan frowned, trying to think in Ye Qing's position.

It is still very unfavorable for the Xiliang Army to maintain the slope of the mound of earth in this way, because it makes the five-fold strength advantage of the coalition army transform into a huge pressure - it is clearly the number of people in the pile, the civil fortifications are crushed, and there are various possibilities for subsequent conversion of offensive methods, which is very difficult to guard against.

In order to delay the attack of the coalition forces, even if Zhilu Dao was close to the pile slope and were cannon fodder under the rain of arrows, once they were piled up near the Guancheng at the cost of human lives, Taiping Dao had to consume mana to stop it.

In the previous secret negotiations, the governor and Yu Fan both promised to restrain the sorcerers from playing on the front line by preserving their strength, in exchange for the follow-up support of the Xiliang army and Taiping Dao.

A political exchange is like that, but everything is worth it for the sake of victory.
