"Come on! Brothers, follow me and charge!"

The war drums were beating loudly, and Ouyang Lixing's vanguard troops were no longer as hopeless as before. Instead, they all fought bravely to take the lead. Under the leadership of the vanguard general, they rushed straight to the gate of Iai City with red eyes.

"Fire!"

Zheng Yuanyun also had no reservations. Just when Ouyang Lixing gave the charge order, he was already ready.

At this moment, the vanguard army rushed forward and faced the black mass of heads roaring towards them like a tidal wave. Zheng Yuanyun's right hand also slashed down hard.

boom--!

The top of the city shook, and the power of a salvo fired by hundreds of trebuchets was so powerful that some of the defenders who were not yet firmly on their feet almost fell off the top of the city.

This time Zheng Yuanyun had no reservations. The stones he fired were filled with kerosene and ignited in advance. When they were blasted out, hundreds of flying fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky, billowing with thick smoke, heading towards the end of the crowd.

The densely packed area was bombarded indiscriminately.

Compared with the previous layered attack, Zheng Yuanyun had all the trebuchets on the city head fire this time. What did not disappoint him was that Ouyang Lixing's side was no longer just a touch and go as before.

Instead, he rushed forward into the cannon fire like a madman.

avoid!

At the same time as the city roared, the vanguard general who had been prepared waved his flag, and the seemingly unorganized charge immediately changed its formation. However, it predicted the enemy's stone throwing point and tried to dodge it as much as possible.

The action avoids the densest impact point of stone throwing.

Even so, it was still not possible to dodge all the stone throws, but at least the casualties were reduced to a minimum.

This also made Zheng Yuanyun see that Ouyang Lixing's stone-throwing attack that seemed to be helpless at first was actually just a disguise.

But what is he pretending to be and why is he pretending?

For a moment, Zheng Yuanyun, who was in the middle of a battle, had no chance to think carefully about the key points, and this dodge did not exceed his expectations.

Originally, in a siege battle, although the soldiers who charged forward often suffered heavy casualties, it was a normal siege routine to try to avoid the artillery fire while continuing to rush towards the city gate.

Zheng Yuanyun was focused on the battle situation at the moment and did not think about the changes in Ouyang Lixing's troops for the time being. Seeing that although his first round of stone throwing and bombardment had some damage, it did not have the desired effect, he was not in a hurry and ordered

The archers prepared, and at the same time, the trebuchet troops quickly prepared for the next volley.

In the first round, he was just testing, wanting to see how Ouyang Lixing's siege this time was different from the previous one. Now he has made a judgment that the trebuchet's projection mode should be adjusted, and it is no longer a one-time attack.

Instead of blasting all the shells, choose the layered continuous strike mode.

Zheng Yuanyun was dispatching and directing, and Ouyang Lixing was not idle either.

The vanguard had already entered the attack range of Iihe City. Although the salvo still caused some damage, it was obviously still within the range that Ouyang Lixing could bear.

Seeing that hundreds of thousands of people were already spreading outside Ihe City, Ouyang Lixing, who looked serious, made another big move.

The slinging siege tower, which was only shown but not used last time, was pushed to the front row.

This was an unconventional siege tower that initially confused Zheng Yuanyun. The tower was not only filled with arrow holes for archers to use, but it also carried a ferocious trebuchet on the top of the tower.

About a hundred siege towers were pushed out, and they pushed directly towards the front line without any intention of stopping.

Under each siege tower, there were hundreds of people surrounding them. They were shouting slogans, pushing from behind, and pulling forward. The seemingly heavy siege tower was moving at a very slow speed, right at the head of Iai City.

In the gap where the trebuchet troops misfired, they had already pushed to the farthest crater that the enemy trebuchets could hit.

This is the opponent's furthest attack distance!

And this is what Zheng Yuanyun calculated for Ouyang Li Xingbi, the maximum attack distance of these towering siege trebuchets!

The siege tower was almost as tall as the Iihe city wall. In other words, wherever the trebuchet on the top of the Iihe city could hit, Ouyang Lixing's siege catapult tower could also hit the same position.

This timing was worked out with the lives of the brothers, and Ouyang Lixing hardly needed to give orders. When he pushed to the farthest attack distance, hundreds of siege towers shook violently, and the soldiers pushing the siege towers underneath all gritted their teeth.

The veins on their faces and arms were all exposed. They almost exhausted all their strength to finally subside the counter-shock force from the siege tower, ensuring the stability of the siege tower and allowing the trebuchet to

There will be no big deviation in the fired shells.

So, under Zheng Yuanyun's wide-eyed gaze, dense slings appeared in the sky again. Fortunately, the siege tower was always a wooden structure. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Ouyang Lixing did not let the trebuchets

The cannonball is stained with kerosene, but it's just a purely physical attack.

"Notice!"

Zheng Yuanyun was not the only one who discovered that the enemy was hurling stones. When the general who was responsible for commanding and observing the trebuchet troops saw it, his eyes were splitting and he almost roared a warning.

How could the soldiers dare to ignore the opponent's offensive? Seeing that the stones were getting closer and closer, everyone hurriedly held their heads and burrowed into the female wall, hoping to avoid this round first.

So just listen...

boom!

Boom boom boom boom!

It seemed as if a strong earthquake suddenly broke out at the top of Iai City. Hundreds of stones were thrown at them. Although it was too far away, only a handful of the stones fell directly on the top of the city, causing serious damage to the defenders.

There was a certain amount of damage, but most of the stones thrown failed, and almost all of them hit the city wall.

As a transit hub, Iai City's city defense construction is not bad. This round of stone throwing did not directly cause the city wall to collapse or blast out a few holes, but it also caused numerous cracks.

Zheng Yuanyun was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He had seen the batch of siege stone towers displayed by Ouyang Lixing last time.

But at that time, his military strength was at a disadvantage and he had no way to destroy the opponent's unconventional weapons. Secondly, although this kind of siege tower was a threat to the city wall, it was actually impossible to get close except for firing two cannons from a long distance.

The siege tower equipped with a trebuchet is extremely heavy. Even if extra soldiers are sent below to help push and pull it, it is impossible to compete with the real arrow tower siege tower.

If Ouyang Li Xing dared to push the siege tower forward again, he would immediately have to withstand the second round of artillery fire prepared at the top of the city.

But despite this, Zheng Yuanyun was still frightened by the shock he felt when the opponent's stones hit the city wall. He couldn't help but focus more on these siege towers.
