The Princess of the Palm

Chapter 77 The Battle of Idle Gull City (6)
When the Dongyang Army saw the densely packed rows of archers, all the shield soldiers in the army stepped forward, protecting all the infantry and cavalry behind them, but who knew that Jun Yanzhan was waiting for such a moment!
Waving the red battle flag, the order was conveyed, and the archers took the arrows without shooting. On the contrary, fifty trebuchets quickly started to work, and stones tied with straw were thrown at the Eastern Army one by one.Clinking on the heavy shield, the thickness of the shield can defend against these stones, but it doesn't mean that it can always defend against them.

In order to ease the time for rock filling, taking advantage of the gap between the trebuchet filling, the red battle flag was waved twice, rumbling, and immediately after the trebuchet, the fifty-squat artillery fully attacked and faced the Eastern army.In fact, the artillery will not cause instant damage to the shield, but the luck of the Eastern Army is that the straw is flammable, and the explosion caused by the artillery attack caused a big fire, and because of the straw on the stone before, the fire was even more normal Three or four times the explosion!
All of a sudden, there were howls and flames. Most of the clothes the soldiers wore were made of cotton and linen, which is also flammable. As long as they are there, they will not stop the erosion of the fire. Where can we find water to put out the fire on the battlefield?
Jun Yanzhan kept changing the way of waving the battle flag. Catapults and cannons were fired alternately, and the fire ignited a prairie fire. within meters.

And in the midst of the fire in Liaoyuan, they had to raise their heavy shields high in order to block the boulders falling from the sky.One wave of people fell, another wave of people made up, wave after wave swarmed up, and the gap between the artillery and the trebuchet on Jun Yanzhan's side was very small, and the speed was frighteningly fast, before the next wave The Eastern Army stepped forward, and the attack was already in sight.

The fire intensified, and the smell of burning and black smoke soaring into the sky all told the cruelty of this war.

At this moment, the vanguard of the Eastern Army was only a hundred meters away from the west gate wall of Xianou City, but they could only be stopped there, unable to advance even a single step!

Jun Yanzhan saw Li Chengyan by accident, did not expect this Li Chengyan to lead the leading troops?But I didn't see him just now, so I guess he came to fight for military merit after seeing him again?Now that you're here, don't go back!
Smiling twice, Jun Yanzhan raised the red and green flags on his left and right hands respectively. Fifty trebuchets and fifty squatting cannons were pushed to the front line in unison, and fired at the same time. The sound was deafening, like the sound of an explosion. Right next to the ear, the shock made the ears hurt and the heart beat violently, but it also stirred up bursts of heroic ambition.

The shell fell to the ground, but it seemed to have disappeared. Just when Li Chengyan relaxed his vigilance, the shell that had just landed beside him did not explode immediately, but it exploded after a while, and the effect was different from the usual shell. Small sparks scattered in all directions, coupled with the straw and stones thrown by the trebuchet, a wall of fire rose from the ground, forming a half-moon-shaped protective film outside Xianou City.

However, these were not over yet. The second batch of boulders and artillery shells had already passed through the air and fell into the side of the fire wall. There was a burst of wailing, and there was no chance to take a breath and escape everywhere. The ground trembled with the rumble!

After the second batch was over, the continuous sea of ​​flames made this early autumn afternoon scorching hot like summer, hot and sultry, making people uncomfortable, and even the afterglow of the sun could not be seen clearly.

None of the front shield forwards of the Eastern Army was spared, and they were all buried in the sea of ​​flames. These were just two bombings ordered by Jun Yanzhan.However, after the war a while ago, the Eastern Army only had more than 40 capable troops left, and there were 10 forward shield soldiers, and [-] were gone!
However, the Eastern Army did not retreat because of this, the shield soldiers were gone, and the second batch of assault troops rushed forward amidst the sound of killing, braving the flames, stepping on the rapid drum beat.

After estimating the remaining boulders and shells, Jun Yanzhan immediately put down the red flag, raised the green flag high, waved the flag continuously, and finally planted the green flag on the city wall, "bomb the trebuchets and artillery, my son! The prince won't believe it, he won't be able to kill them!"

As soon as Jun Yanzhan's order was given, the trebuchet and the artillery were operating at the same time, constantly attacking, falling like a reminder.

Raise the red flag, "Archers and crossbowmen are ready, let go!"

Following Jun Yanzhan's order, the five thousand archers on the city wall immediately opened their bows and arrows, and the five thousand bows and arrows fell into the Dongyang Army like a rain of arrows. The sea of ​​fire, arrows, explosions, and boulders kept killing the Dongyang soldiers. Life harvest.

Handing over the tower here to Zhang Quan, Jun Yanzhan got down from the tower and personally led the troops. With the spear as the head and the triangle as the formation, he attacked swiftly, and wherever he went, the Dongyang army still didn't react.

Inside the camp of the Dongyang Army, Xi Yue, a famous Dongyang general, gritted his teeth and watched the soaring flames on the battlefield, and Jun Yanzhan, who stepped through the flames and rushed to kill the Dongyang soldiers.

"General, our shield soldiers have been wiped out, and now we have lost nearly 15 soldiers."

Xi Yue gritted his teeth and looked at the bright silver color in the dark crowd on the opposite side, "Jun Yanzhan, I will definitely let you lose here! Why retreat? I brought 20 backup, and I will make up for it all!" Come on! Cavalry in front, archers behind, shield soldiers in front, infantry behind, cavalry wings, show the king's flame to Lao Tzu and hold it in!"

The deputy general of the Eastern Army beat the drums and waved the battle flag. The formation of the Eastern Army changed suddenly, and the sudden extra cavalry on the left and right flanks were unexpected but unexpected. Chaos.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Ou Xuejun chopped off a person's head and approached Jun Yanzhan a little anxiously.

"The yoke formation deformed. I didn't expect Dongyang to bring Xi Yue here. What a mistake. Change the shield soldiers to go forward, and the infantry behind the shields."

Ou Xuejun hurriedly raised the bright red flag to change the formation, but this yoke formation is not a simple formation. Jun Jifeng tried it once before, and although he defeated the enemy, he suffered heavy losses. This yoke formation was originally a formation to deal with the enemy , but Jun Yanzhan happened to be away from the war back then, so he had only heard about it!

Obviously, even if Jun Yanzhan changed his formation, because the sudden extra 20 two-winged cavalry scattered Yu Xiao's infantry, most of the infantry were killed by arrows. Gu, there is no way to even change the formation.

Zhang Quan on the wall of Xianou City was also sweating profusely. This formation can't even be broken by the prince, let alone him!what to do?what to do?Seeing that the boulders and shells are about to run out, this...how can this be done?

"General Zhang, someone from the enemy army is rushing over, what should we do? The prince is still trapped there."

"General Zhang, an enemy army has arrived under the city wall!"
