Bai Lie's army, which knew nothing about this, rushed towards the fortifications with an indomitable pace.

The stormtroopers were divided into groups of twenty, carrying tall and improvised ladders on their shoulders, and ran towards the bottom of the fortification wall at full speed like crazy.

These are all experienced veterans. They know that if they can reach the wall earlier, they will be less attacked. The closer they are, the smaller the threat from catapults. Even archers have to use exploratory methods.

This is a condescending shooting method, which will also expose the opponent's archers to the sight of your own archers, greatly increasing the risk.

So, go for it!

Everyone had this idea, even the sword and shield bearers who were wearing heavy armor and carrying heavy shields were walking briskly, as if they were carrying no weight at all.

Not only that, following closely behind the attacking phalanx were Yan Haomiao's catapult troops.

After a day of preparation, the soldiers not only found a lot of suitable boulders, but also collected a large amount of gravel, wrapped them in fur cloth, and made artificial boulders, just waiting to show off their power!

The fortifications were built very quickly. Although they were poured with copper oil to enhance their defensive capabilities, they were not as thick as the real city walls. Yan Haomiao believed that if they could fire two or three rounds in a row, the attack of the catapult troops alone would be enough.

It was enough to blow a big hole in the fortifications, allowing his soldiers to directly engage the opponent at hand-to-hand combat.

The 1.7 million people brought out this time were almost all the elites of his Mohe Province. When it came to individual combat capabilities, Yan Haomiao was very sure that his own side would be better than the other side. After all, the reinforcements from Dongping City were not very selective.

Choose carefully, but consider the distance.

In this way, it is not an exaggeration to call them a mixed army. If they can reach the point of close combat, even if his troops are smaller, Yan Haomiao still believes that he can defeat these panicked enemy forces in one fell swoop.

What's more, under the current situation, if Dongping City did not continue to send more troops here within this day, his troop numbers would be even more dominant.

You must know that there are Chen Ze's troops attacking behind the fortifications. When they both come together, it will be the end of these Dongping City soldiers!

The quality of the soldiers is superior, the quantity is superior, and the morale is also superior. How can we lose?

Yan Haomiao, who was near the catapult troops, was calculating his steps in his mind. As long as he moved forward a little further so that his catapult troops could attack the fortifications, then the overall situation of the war would be decided!

Victory is in sight, even Yan Haomiao, who has always been calm, can't help but feel agitated at this time. When he clenched his fists, he felt that his hands were wet, and his fists were filled with wet cold sweat.

There were times when he was so nervous. In spite of his busy schedule, Yan Haomiao couldn't help but smile bitterly at himself, and then his eyes were fixed!

In his calculations, he only needs to take ten more steps to reach the optimal attack distance, which can cause a heavy blow to the defenses!

Until now, everything has been going smoothly. With Chen Ze's troops at the rear to contain them, their advance was extremely smooth. In addition to the catapult troops that were about to enter the range, Yan Haomiao also saw the troops ahead.

The stormtroopers are also halfway through their journey, and from there on, with every additional step they take, the attacks they will suffer will become weaker by one point.

So, is this really a settled situation?

The breath that Yan Haomiao had been holding in his heart had never been released. At this moment, he finally had the possibility to release it, which made him feel relaxed.

But at this moment, the thick bowstring of the catapult roared again on the opponent's fortifications.

This was not the first time. During their charge, it was obvious that the greater threat came from Chen Ze's troops in the rear, so the first two rounds of stone-throwing volleys all hit the rear.

So this round...

Yan Haomiao raised his head and looked at the sky, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

"damn it!"

He cursed secretly, and his heart immediately became angry.

This round of death-defying attacks actually hit his side!

From the opponent's standpoint, this is correct. After all, there are obviously more people on his side, and no matter how critical the rear is, there is absolutely no reason to ignore the front.

But what a pity!

Yan Haomiao shook his head slightly. If he could be given a little more time, his catapult would be able to hit the opponent. If he could attack in advance, the opponent would not have the chance to fire another round of volleys of stones at him. Then

Naturally, his troops would not bite the bullet and receive this stone-throwing attack.

What a pity...

Yan Haomiao sighed, but he did not give any instructions such as evasion.

The war is officially starting now, and the soldiers he leads are not blind. How could they not see this attack with bright swords and spears? It is up to the soldiers on the front line to decide whether to dodge or not, and whether they can dodge it.

judge.

What he can do at this time is to urge his catapult troops to rush to a position where they can attack. Only by counterattacking on his side can he help the soldiers on the front line as much as possible and save them from being hit by artillery fire.

Can……

Yan Haomiao was about to turn around and urge the catapult troops to speed up. When he fired back earlier, Lin Xiangyong, who had been guarding him, suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted urgently: "Sir, hide quickly!"

"Um?"

Yan Haomiao was stunned and felt something bad in his heart. After he glanced at the night sky again, his expression changed drastically!

This round of stone-throwing volleys, the target of the attack was not the front line that was about to rush into the weakly defended area, but straight... towards him!

"Well!"

At the critical moment, Yan Haomiao only had time to say something, and felt a strong force coming from the side. However, Lin Xiangyong saw that the situation was urgent and could not care about anything else. He hurriedly swooped to hug Yan Haomiao and drove him directly.

He fell down on his back.

boom!

A loud noise shook the sky, and countless boulders like flying fireballs roared towards him, one of which hit the place where Yan Haomiao was originally.

For a moment, blood and fire burst out, and broken arms and limbs flew together. The BMW, which had followed Yan Haomiao in the north and south for many years, did not have the same luck as Yan Haomiao. It was torn apart in the first place, and the hot horse blood

Many of them even splashed onto Yan Haomiao's face.

"ah!"

"Help...help!"

"Fire, fire, fire, help me put out the fire quickly!"

It was not just one of Yan Haomiao's horses that suffered heavy damage, so much so that Yan Haomiao, who was protected by Lin Xiangyong, had no time to feel sorry for the death of his horse.

At this moment, what he was looking at with splitting eyes was his own catapult troop, which he had originally placed high hopes on and was preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Zhu Yan Empire's defenses...
