On the 10th day of May, it was sunny and had a southeast wind.

In the vast wilderness outside the city, the sky was filled with smoke and dust, with the spiritual mist formed by spells, and there were golden lights rendered from the east, which was the rising sun on the horizon.

The hot summer sun quickly steamed the dew at night, and the dazzling light filled the blue sky, illuminating the sky and the earth, making many soldiers on both sides squint their eyes......

In the tall gatehouse of the city, under the protection of heavy streamers, Hu Zhen saw this, and chose this morning attack to be a backlight for the coalition army, and it was unfavorable for the 100,000 Xiliang army, which was easy to cause misjudgment, and it was extremely unfavorable to the accuracy and eyesight loss of the crossbowmen......

The enemy's staff has considered all aspects of the situation, and it is difficult to see that it is a prince who has only been rising for a few years...... This resistance battle is not easy to fight, but fortunately it only needs to be blocked for ten days.

"Da Shuai ......" his subordinate staff reminded in a low voice, glancing at the middle and high-level generals such as Li Xu, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, who were still waiting behind.

"You guys go separately" Hu Zhen straightened his waist and raised his hand, with a kind of majesty.

Since the task had already been assigned, at this time, the generals responded to the order, the armor clanged, and they went down to organize defenses everywhere, and only communicated with Taoist priests.

I have to say that with the Taoist priest to communicate information and orders, no matter which party it is, the efficiency and execution have suddenly improved to a higher level.

And the footsteps of the coalition forces are even closer, and they can be heard only in three miles.

Accompanied by the dust of these loesses, the hunting of flags, the sound of roaring footsteps shaking the earth, the sound of armor crashing, shouting, and the sound of horses' hooves......

There was not much regularity in the loud noise, some were just awe-inspiring battle intent, and together with the low war drums that filled the entire huge battlefield, it shook everyone's heart.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers, densely packed, more than 100,000 soldiers, boundless

Looking down at the city as high as more than ten meters, these enemies who came to the west were the same as ants, but this was not a rogue, they were all regular troops.

Most of the Kwantung princes inherited the local treasury, except for the 100,000 earthy yellow of the Cao army, most of the rest retained the red battle clothes made by the Han officials.

The huge formation of "shouting" stopped in a low voice, making minor adjustments, and the huge pressure was still coming.

The dense number, the mighty murderous aura, seeing this, the soldiers are all pale, and the soldiers are silent - a little common sense, they all know that not all of the 500,000 are piled up, which will only make people despise the command level

Even if there are Taoist priests who convey information and orders, and command more than 100,000 troops, it is the way to take death and perish, and the most basic common sense of the art of war is not to have too many troops at a time, which must take turns to attack the city.

It's just that they all instinctively recall in their memories - when was the last time there was a battle of hundreds of thousands of people in front of the Tiger Prison Pass?

"The confrontation between the Kansai and Kanto regions of Chu and Han ...... hegemony" Li Xuan whispered, judging that this battle had reached 100,000, and it was obvious that he was going to take turns to kill his side, thinking about taking a deep breath, his eyes were as cold as a lone wolf: "Come on, Kwantung Army...... Teach you to know the way, this is the tiger prison in Kansai"

His voice paused, and he raised his voice to the nearby commanders who were waiting: "Go down and prepare, raise the oil pot, roll the wood, and start the crossbow array...... Liu Zhenren and a few Taoist leaders, please prepare a magic circle......"

"Whew-"

The long horn sounded from the military camps near and far, the southeast wind was blowing, accompanied by huge smoke and dust, the sound of waves and water, overflowing the front of the Guancheng, penetrating the depth of the same Great Wall, and returning to the valley behind the Guancheng......

After that, the gates of hundreds of camps opened, and the sound of rolling wheels sounded from all directions, especially from the camps of Cao, Sun, Liu and Jiu Yuan, who were close to the front line, squeaking and crushing the ground, making the smoke and dust thicker and forming a battlefield shelter.

"Coming" Seeing this, the generals all shrank their eyes, Hu Zhen's face was as usual, and he only clenched his hands in his sleeves

As a qualified commander, he has paid close attention to the enemy, and he does not need a temporary report from the Taoist priest, and he has previously detected the enemy's camp to build siege equipment, and he has used algorithms to cover up the manufacturing details in the camp, but the huge amount of wood consumption is impossible to hide.

In the hilly area to the south, a large number of people hugged the thick towering trees, the knife and axe are difficult to hurt, but under the cutting of high-speed water blade spells, a large number of people cut down, dismantled on the spot, and shipped in large carts, only four days, a large area of primeval forest directly cut off a layer, retreating hundreds of meters wide......

Hu Zhen has long been mentally prepared, and the only thing that is difficult to determine is what the enemy has concentrated on?

Ladders, rushing vehicles, shields, arrow towers, stone throwers and other large mobile combat equipment...... Each of these numbers forms a different coordination that determines the enemy's next offensive.

According to the secret secret contact, the information from Cao Cao and Sun Jian's second battalion was a cloud ladder and an arrow tower, all of which were shared with individual projects and cluster manufacturing, which showed that the arrow rain suppressed the ants to attack the city.

But this credibility is very poor, how could Liu Bei's arrangement not guard against these two?

"I don't worry about it in normal times, Guancheng has been established for four hundred years, and it has sufficient response to all kinds of offensives, but the newly appeared Taoist product Ye Huolei, this thing is very jealous even to real people, and the secret report in Xuzhou Dapo Cao Ying is this thing, this kind of siege weapon with the old siege equipment is enough to derive too many possibilities. ”

Fifteen hundred paces away, the fog began to lift, and a number of towering and narrow military instruments appeared at the front of the military formation, stopped to set up piles, and the soldiers ran to winch their throwing arms, lower the throwing baskets, load bombs, and count the scales.

Hu Zhen clenched his hands: "It's a group of stone throwers, he wants to gather fire remotely to break through a city wall, and order the speed of the stone throwers to counterattack——"

This distance has entered the influence range of the Tiger Prison Pass Great Array, and the mist is dispelled by the Taiping Dao spell, but this distance greatly exceeds the effective range of 1,200 steps of the big yellow crossbow, and the shot is also weak and weak, maybe only the most powerful Dao technique, and the same stone thrower can destroy the other party, and the Dao technique cannot be consumed in this regard, only to attack against attack

"Yes"

The Xiliang army was prepared, and quickly moved the stone throwing machine, and attached the school officer, commanding the ruler and looking at the mountain, and determined the direction to the observer on the watchtower, and loaded the smallest stone bullet.

Seeing that the inspector's eyes widened, he seemed to be unhappy, and hurriedly explained: "This is the limit distance, you can only fit this, no matter how big it is, you can't hit ......."

“...... Then put it on."

The long log arm of the stone throwing machine is sharply flicked, such as the effect of the long whip section being evacuated, driving a section of cowhide rope at the end of the pitch to throw out the calibration bullet at almost the speed of sound, with the detachment from the basket, the stone bullet crossed the ten-meter-high city wall and drew a gray shadow trajectory in the air, smashing the blood light in the coalition formation, jumping into a short section of blood, and the cheers of the Xiliang army rose high and stopped abruptly.

"Shoot" the same order, and suddenly a huge red meteor rose from the front of the coalition army, surging through the air rapidly, letting out a sharp roar, and the red light reflected the dull face of Sergeant Dong in the city...... It's so big, how can you throw it so far?

"It's Ye Huolei, quickly use the Dao technique to counteract" This situation, it is impossible to intercept it by a stone thrower, and the Taoist priest near the projection immediately shouted.

Although he was a little in a hurry, he still organized ten spells to attack in a short period of time, only to see a different color of Dao technique, that is, a meteor, intercepted two hundred feet away.

With a soft "boom", the meteor accelerated sharply with a spurt, dodging the attack...... At the moment when everyone was stunned, Liu Zhenren stretched out his hand, and a fire net covered it.

"Boom-"

The leaf fire thunder intercepted in mid-air, causing an explosion in advance, turning into a cloud of thunder and fire in mid-air, only to see a large number of iron pieces sweeping across the city like a rainstorm.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers screamed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and some of them were not dead for a while, rolling in the city.

These miserable appearances, the general turned a blind eye, just looked, and saw that the main body of the city wall had the foundation of the magic circle, and only a layer of spiritual light was stirred up under the shock wave of the aura explosion, and some traces appeared, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Three miles away, Qianqian stared at the city wall, instantly captured this layer of aura, her clear eyes flashed with divine light, calculated the instant, and transmitted the sound to the stone throwing team, and all kinds of different ruler parameters were targeted to expand......

In the city, Liu Zhenren was looking back and talking to Li Xuan: "This is Ye Huolei's weakness, there is nothing to be afraid of under the protection of complete spells, the enemy only has a hundred trebuchets in front of the formation, and we have more than enough to deal with, general."

Li couldn't help nodding his head, and his eyes widened suddenly: "That side ......"

"Whew-" A gust of wind blew, revealing the second, third, fourth, and fifth rows of soldiers...... Huge trebuchet matrix swarm

"This can't be" Liu Zhenren hissed, his face was pale, and he no longer had the demeanor of a real person.

How many trebuchets did this Ye Qing build?

Where do so many craftsmen come from?

The pivot of the trebuchet is a complex metal and wood structure, and it is impossible for a soldier who can only hold a knife to manufacture it in large quantities

And on the city gate, the envoy Zhenren's expression also changed greatly: "It's all precision parts, this leaf ...... Liu Bei prepared thousands of core precision accessories in advance, damn it...... How long did he prepare for Shangluo, and the depth of this spreading projection, the farthest was only two thousand steps, and he also improved the stone throwing machine in the Lower Earth Realm."

Hu Zhen couldn't understand at all, he only looked at these trebuchets with a pale face: "These are trebuchets, could it be that they are all meteor fire thunders?"

If this is the case, you can only wait for death, and there will be no resistance.

"Of course not" The envoy really contemplated: "There is absolutely no way there are so many thunder and fire thunders, but as long as there are one percent of the leaf fire thunder ......"

"Even if it's a canister...... Ah, damn it" Seeing what happened a few seconds later, the envoy Zhenren could no longer maintain his composure, and cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead.

"Shoot" a clear command resounded across the battlefield.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Hundreds of thousands of red meteors rose from the enemy's long line, and at this time, all of them pierced the sky, and one after another seemed to be slow and fast parabolic trajectories, and countless red arcs of light staggered by, presenting a chaotic and intricate network, which made people dizzy at a glance, and even more terrifying in their hearts......

The fireworks rose to their highest point and rained down like meteors.
