Chapter 381: White Heat

The frontal battlefield is in full swing and has entered a white-hot stage. The attack and defense between each other are constantly causing damage to each other.

The flanks, both sides of the mountains, led by General Kou Long, were also invaded by the enemy.

While the frontal battlefield was shouting and killing sounds were thunderous, the two flanks touched a team of enemy soldiers, with a sword in their hands, and carefully marched towards the front gate of Zhu'an City.

The posts set on both wings discovered the enemy's movements at the first time, but according to Kou Long's order, he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, when the enemy was approaching, he suddenly launched an attack and fought against the enemy's troops.

Compared with the fierce attack on the front, the number of enemy troops responsible for sneak attacks on both wings was significantly smaller. The ambushed soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion retreated without much effort, and killed countless enemy troops.

The news was reported to Kou Long as quickly as possible. Kou Long immediately ordered all soldiers to remain unmoved, all posters strengthened their defense and did not attack without authorization.

According to his estimate, the enemy will never have only one tentative attack, and there will definitely be a backup plan behind it. If you move in full force now, you will definitely be ambushed by the enemy.

Ye Guan's plan is very perfect, and he is only waiting for an opportunity. If the enemy begins to attack the front gate violently and throws all his troops into hysteria, the soldiers on both sides can act, quickly take down the camps of the enemy on both sides, and then raid the enemy from both sides. Only in this way can it be possible to defeat the more with less, repel the enemy several times its own, and usher in a valuable opportunity to retreat for one's own side.

In this regard, both generals and soldiers must be calm. If they are confused at this moment, they may lose everything.

All the enemy's movements were not as expected by Ye Guan. After listening to the report from the commander, he became more and more determined.

No matter what the strategy of the enemy general is, as long as he attacks, he will definitely fall into his trap, unknowingly increase his troops, and eventually form a general offensive momentum, which will definitely give him the opportunity to defeat him. Ye Guan still has such confidence.

The only thing he was worried about now was the mysterious man in black robe.

Ye Guan was worried that this person would come to him at a critical moment to let all his opportunities back and delay the fighter's opportunity.

He has been sitting in the hut, waiting for this person. According to his estimate, this person will definitely appear before he evacuated from Zhu'an City. Well, the appearance of this person may bring changes to the current situation.

But he didn't know how much the masters of this level of cultivation and a foreigner care about Tianqing City's plan and whether he would hold him back with this purpose. If this is true, he would definitely not be able to leave.

At the same time, Ye Guan was also worried about Huang Yongning's side. I don't know how long it would take for him to assemble all the soldiers. The letters had been sent out and they could reach Changhui City in one day. If Huang Yongning started the action at the first time, it would take two or three days to make everything clear. If Yu Sheng and Liu Yuan retreated with the army, it would take four or five days, but can Zhu'an City, which he is stationed at now, last four or five days?

Ye Guan frowned, thinking about what was happening in front of him, and felt a little frowning. He was at ease on the battlefield, but he was not sure about dealing with Tianqing City. Some of the power they could master were not something they could imagine. How should he deal with such an enemy?

Outside the courtyard, the shocking war drums and the shouts of the battlefield were endless, and the sound of huge fireballs shattering through the sky never disappeared. The battle continued, and the enemy seemed to have been invested in the main force and kept rushing to the city wall of Zhu'an City. Ding Jiang adopted the method of taking turns to guard the city wall of Zhu'an City, with each two brigades being one squad, defending the city wall of Zhu'an City like a wheel.

After the raging fire was slowly extinguished, the enemy immediately began to advance. The fire played a role in cleaning the battlefield. Countless charred corpses lay on the charred land, stacked in countless layers. The sporadic siege equipment in front of the city gate was also burned by the fire, becoming a ball of charred black charcoal, piled up into a ball.

The entire battlefield was filled with a pungent burnt smell, which spread throughout Zhu'an City, making all the soldiers guarding the city tense.

The enemy's advancement continued. The catapult not far away kept shooting fireballs and hitting the city walls of Zhu'an City. Even though the city walls were cast by pig iron, repeated attacks left extremely deep marks on them. A fine gap appeared on the city walls, spreading continuously in the continuous attacks. However, everyone, including Ding Jiang, had no choice.

Zhu'an City lacks long-range attack weapons and cannot open the city gate to send cavalry raids. Long before, Ding Jiang had recalled the cavalry ambushing on both sides, because the enemy had already been prepared, and the sudden cavalry raid had no effect.

There is a crossbow cart and five rounds of crossbows behind the city. Although this type of weapon is extremely powerful, the number of crossbows is too small. Even if all of them are released under the enemy's attack, it will not have the desired effect. Moreover, the enemy generals know Zhu'an City well, so how could they not know that Zhu'an City has equipped the crossbows?

Looking at the advancing enemy phalanx and the trenchers that kept igniting fireballs, Ding Jiang frowned. He had to think of a way to solve the enemy's long-range weapons, otherwise it would be a matter of time before the enemy could break through the city.

When he turned around, Ding Jiang looked at the city and saw the burning houses in the city. He suddenly had an idea and immediately found a guard. He spoke very quickly and ordered: "Go and order the third brigade, go to the city to demolish the house immediately, and make the catapult at the fastest speed. No matter how simple it is, the faster the better."

The guard who was ordered was stunned. He didn't know what Ding Jiang was going to do, but hesitated. He immediately went down from the city and issued an order to the station beside him.

After the guards left, Ding Jiang no longer looked at the enemy's advancement. In his opinion, the two brigades who had just changed their defense were able to deal with the normal enemy's advancement, and he didn't have to worry about anything at all. He immediately measured the distance on the city wall with his footsteps, and carefully checked the distance between the city wall and the enemy's catapult.

After walking back and forth on the city wall several times, throwing the enemy corpses on the ground off the city wall, quickly clearing out an open space. Ding Jiang simulated the range of a simple catapult in his mind, aiming at the enemy catapult in the distance, and simulated it many times in his mind. Finally, he thought this method was feasible. He immediately turned around and gave an order, and he quickly got off the city wall and walked towards the base.

The enemy attacked in a normal way. Even if the technicians were faster, it would not be possible to break through the city walls of Zhu'an City in a short time. However, if the enemy's catapults attacked like this fierce attack, even if the walls were strong, they would have the possibility of collapse. Ding Jiang walked towards the station and arrived at the station, the third battalion had just completed the assembly and was about to execute his orders.

Seeing Ding Jiang coming, the captain of the third brigade immediately stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "I have met General Ding."

Ding Jiang didn't have the heart to care about these etiquettes at this moment. He pulled him up and spoke very quickly. He said in a deep voice: "Go to make a simple catapult immediately, use the beams of the private houses to make them at the fastest speed. I only need half the size of the catapult. The remaining materials are transported to the city wall for me."

The captain was obviously stunned. The simple catapult was not very powerful, and was used to temporarily hinder the enemy's movements on the battlefield. It was generally not used in siege battles. Such a catapult is much smaller than the current enemy's front-line catapult and much less powerful. If it is reduced by half, its power will be smaller. What is the use of such a siege equipment?

But seeing Ding Jiang's face was anxious and there was no intention of joking. Although the captain didn't understand what Ding Jiang was going to do, he agreed immediately. He also knew that time was tight, so he immediately led the sergeant of the Third Brigade to the B&B area next to him, began to demolish the houses, and slammed the beams from the houses.

Ding Jiang had no time to deal with how they made a catapult. After explaining the matter, he immediately quickly returned to the city wall. When he returned to the city wall, the enemy's phalanx had already entered the range, and the defending soldiers poured down their arrow feathers frantically without any hesitation.

The configuration of the enemy's phalanx this time was almost exactly the same as last time, with four city-pushing towers and one city-storming car, but the number of sergeants was obviously much higher than the last time. In addition to the city-pushing tower, several cloud ladders could be seen in the enemy's phalanx. It seemed that the enemy was also changing its strategy and found that the city-turret could not be taken down the city wall of Zhu'an City alone, so he adopted a more convenient method.

Ding Jiang held a long sword in his hand, expressionless, and looked coldly at the advancing enemy formation under the city.

After the battle just now, he was exhausted, and a short rest could not add much. Now if the enemy pushes the city tower near the city wall and there are more enemy masters hidden in it, he may not be able to provide much combat power, but at this time, he cannot retreat.

"Attack with all your might! Target Push City Tower!" Ding Jiang raised his long sword until Tush City Tower. Immediately, countless arrow feathers shot towards Tush City Tower. The arrow feathers carried flames and shot on the wall of Tush City Tower, splashing countless sparks, but they could not ignite Tush City Tower.

Immediately, the soldiers guarding the city targeted the enemy soldiers near the Tuicheng Tower. A wave of arrows hit the face, and several enemy troops died immediately.

Ding Jiang frowned, looking at the Tuicheng Tower that was constantly advancing, and felt a little anxious. He didn't know how many masters were hidden among ordinary soldiers in the enemy's army, but he knew that if the enemy's Tuicheng Tower was closer this time, it would cause a large number of casualties to the sergeants guarding the city, because his combat power had decreased and he was injured. It was possible to face a warrior-level monk head-on. If he faced many people, even he himself might die.

"Damn it." Ding Jiang cursed and shouted at the sergeant beside him, "Attack with all your might!" After saying that, he strode away and headed straight for the tower.

A huge crossbow cart was parked in the middle of the tower. The view here was excellent and could overlook the entire battlefield. The crossbow cannons had been loaded on the crossbow cart, but without Ding Jiang's order, no sergeant would activate the crossbow cannon without authorization.

The enemy's pushing the city tower could not be destroyed as soon as possible, which made Ding Jiang feel a little anxious. He came to the tower and immediately ordered the sergeant on duty to push the crossbow onto the city wall.

With a "crunching" sound, the bulky crossbow cart was quickly pushed to the side of the city wall. Ding Jiang personally controlled the crossbow cart and aimed at the enemy's pushing the city tower, with a cold light on his eyes.

"I asked you to repair this broken tower so strongly. I see that you are hard, but my crossbow cannon is hard!"

After aiming, Ding Jiang cursed, grabbed the stimulating rope of the crossbow cart in his hand, and activated the crossbow without hesitation.

"call……"

A fierce sound came, and the huge crossbow was stimulated by the bowstring and shot out rapidly, heading straight to the city tower that was slowly advancing in front of the city.

In just one moment, the crossbow shot a Pushing City Tower. The defense of the Pushing City Tower was as fragile as a piece of paper under the impact of the Bishing City Tower, and was easily shattered. The crossbow's momentum remained unabated and rushed towards another Pushing City Tower again.

The enemy's formation was well arranged, just in a straight line. The crossbow fired by Ding Jiang directly destroyed three city towers, and then it lost its momentum and slowly fell down.

The huge force generated when destroying the enemy's Push City Tower caused heavy casualties to the enemy near the Push City Tower. Several enemy troops were hit by the fragments of the Push City Tower and died immediately on the spot.

"Okay!" Ding Jiang slapped the crossbow cart excitedly, laughed loudly, and immediately ordered several soldiers to hide the crossbow cart.

And at this moment, he suddenly saw several bright flames attacking him quickly, which was the attack of a catapult.

"Do not go away!" Ding Jiang immediately realized that it was not good, shouted, and then went to the side.
