On this day, as soon as the dawn broke out, countless catapults came from Chencang City, and dense formations were arranged under Chencang City. It had been almost ten days since the day the Wei army launched an attack last time. This was the first time that the Wei army had attacked again in these ten days.

The sentry guarding the city immediately informed Zhoutai. Although the Wei army had not been in trouble these days, Zhoutai never took off his armor when he went to bed every day, just because there was a sudden situation, he could rush to the top of the city at any time.

As soon as Zhoutai came to the city, he could feel the familiar formation. Every time the Wei army attacked, the leader was a catapult. Although the attack of the catapult seemed useless, the Wei army liked to make such a formation to bluff.

Sima Army is no longer accustomed to this kind of formation. If a catapult cart launches an attack, they only need to find a cover. After this wave of attacks, when the infantry rushed up, Sima Army climbed to the top of the city to fight again, which probably has become a routine of offensive and defensiveness.

When Zhou Tai saw the catapult formation, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the Wei army would have had some different attack methods after being held in for more than ten days, but now it seems that Zhou Tai was thinking too much. The Wei army still had the same old method, so there was obviously nothing scary about it.

Zhoutai ordered the Sima army to temporarily suspend the climb to the city. It was not too late to reach the city after the throwing cart fired the stone bomb. Only some sentries were left under the city to stare at it.

Just as Zhou Tai was about to evacuate, he suddenly found that the Wei soldiers had ignited the "stone bullets" filled on the arms. Just when he was still puzzled and surprised, fireballs had already soared into the air and flew towards Chen Cang City.

These fireballs floated high and far, and the landing point was not at the top of the city. Instead, they flew straight into Chencang City. As the fireballs fell one by one, the entire Chencang City also fell into a sea of ​​fire.

At this time, Zhou Tai suddenly realized that it turned out that the Wei army cut weeds these days not because they wanted to keep warm, but because they "send warmth" to Chen Cangcheng. I guess so many fireballs were woven from weeds.

But Zhoutai felt strange. Most of the buildings in Chencang City were brick and stone structures, which were resistant to fire and fire. What role could the Wei army spend so much effort to project the fireball into the city?

But Zhoutai quickly discovered that these fireballs fell into the city? They did not go out quickly? Instead, they burned violently? The scope of the impact was relatively large? Hundreds of fireballs flew into the city? The entire Chencang City seemed to be trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

Zhoutai hurried to check the dungeon, and found that the fireball thrown by Wei Jun was soaked in with straw ropes and could burn for a long time.

Not only that? While the Wei army was shooting the fireball, they also shot a large amount of oil bags into the city? The city was covered with grease and oil. It was immediately caught when it encountered fire. No wonder Chen Cang's streets and alleys were trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, Wei Jun also used sulfur and saltpeter. The thick and pungent yellow and white smoke choked and coughed violently. It was obvious that it was poisonous in the smoke. If a person inhaled a large amount of this gas, he would be poisoned or even killed.

Zhoutai quickly ordered to put out the fire? Even if the houses in the city are made of bricks and stones, they are not afraid of burning, but other things? Such things like food, weapons, supplies, and supplies cannot withstand the fire. Moreover, the city is full of fire, how can 30,000 defenders have a foothold? Isn’t they going to be burned alive? So when the fire just got up, the Sima army must try every means to put out the fire, and must not let the fire spread unscrupulously in the city.

The defenders went all out to put out the fire, some carrying buckets, some shoveling sand, and some holding clothes, desperately slapping the flames, and the momentum controlled the fire.

But what made them feel desperate was that these straw rope balls were soaked in oil and could not be extinguished no matter how they tried. Many soldiers were even hit by the fireballs, and they were on fire and rolled all over the ground and could not extinguish the fire. The ground was full of fire. The final result was that they were swallowed up by the fire in a painful howl.

Except for the Wei River on the south side, the Wei army arranged catapults on the east and west sides. Compared with the bulky stone bullets, these fuse balls were very light, so they could be thrown high and far. Since Chencang City was small, almost all targets in the city were within the attack range of the catapults.

Moreover, these fireballs were like eyes, and they were specifically smashed to places with warehouses in the city. Granary and treasury were the primary targets of the Wei army. The fires in those places were the strongest. Even if Sima Jun wanted to put out the fire, he was powerless.

The reason why the Wei army's strike accuracy was so accurate was that behind the position of the catapult, the Wei army specially erected several meter high of the divine dou, which was far higher than the city wall. The lookout soldiers on the divine dou could clearly see the whole picture of Chen Cang City, and naturally pointed out the direction of the attack for the catapult. Wherever it was suspected to be a warehouse and wherever it was a military camp, it would become the target of the catapult's concentrated firepower attack.

Zhoutai, who has been calm and composed since the war started, was completely panicked this time. He never expected that the Wei army would use such means to attack Chen Cang. Chen Cang City, which was not afraid of fire attacks, turned into a sea of ​​fire. The grain warehouse was burned and the military camp was burned. These flames were simply everywhere. Compared with the casualties of people, what made Zhoutai even more heartbreaking was the loss of food and grass. Without these food and grass, Chen Cang City could not hold on for long.

The attack of the catapult car continued until dark. For a whole day, the Wei army threw about tens of thousands of fuse balls at Chen Cangcheng. In addition, countless greases, sulfur saltpeter and powerful fierce oil tanks completely smashed Chen Cangcheng into a sea of ​​fire. From a distance, the entire Chen Cangcheng was full of flames and the rolling smoke rushed into the sky, completely like a purgatory on earth.

Sima Jun struggled to survive in the sea of ​​fire, and everyone was struggling to extinguish the fire, but these fuse balls were like fire meteors, constantly smashing down in the air, causing Sima Jun's fire-fighting efforts to fail again and again.

The fire continued until late at night, and the entire Chencang City was like a city that never sleeps, red, and the reflected sky showed a red glow, which was clearly visible a hundred miles away.

In the fire, there were heart-wrenching screams everywhere. I don’t know how many people were buried in this sea of ​​fire. That night, Chen Cangcheng became a purgatory, a real hell of death.
