Hu Yanheng was cold as ice. As soon as the battle started, he took a smaller fan from his waist, opened it with a huh, and then began to fan it. How strange is this? These days are the coldest time in Mobei. If it weren't for the war, the Xiliang cavalry would have wanted to wear thick leather coats. Hu Yanheng was really not an ordinary person. Not only did he wear white silk yarn, but he also began to fan his clothes.

Chi Shutong felt cold when she looked at her clothes, and she couldn't help but tighten her clothes, muttering in her heart: Hu Yanheng is indeed very strange!

Is this fan really just used to fan the air? Hu Yanheng had no need to bother with these ordinary people. He turned the fan around his head, and immediately another team ran out of the line and rushed to the rear of the army to drive a group of civilians towards Ye Cangcheng.

Since we want to fill the soil, we cannot just focus on one city wall, and we must have rain and dew on both sides of Yecangcheng City gate. This time, not only the civilians acted, but also the Xiliang Cavalry Legion could not watch their civilians become living targets for the enemy. Therefore, the more violent arrow rain than the Jingyi Army began to shoot towards the head of Yecangcheng City.

Feng Chu bent down to avoid the attack of the feather arrows. Through the gap between the female walls, he saw the civilians running harder. To put it bluntly, even if his own army was hostage to do such a life-deserving thing, the civilians were also human beings, and they naturally had to protect their lives. Taking advantage of the momentum of the Jingyi Army's attack, the civilians rushed to complete their forced mission.

That's right, it was the mission that was forced by the Western Liang cavalry to complete. Hu Yanheng explained two points when he recruited these civil servants: First, if each family could take the initiative to provide one civil servant, then the tax burden of this family could be exempted from the year; second, the civil servants sent only need to complete the landing of five bags of soil at the foot of Ye Cangcheng, and those who are alive can go home directly, and they can also receive a considerable amount of silver rewards.

It sounds a bit tempting. The people of Xiliang who have never been on the battlefield have no idea about this task. In people's impression, aren't it just carrying a few bags of soil, and five bags can be completed at most five times. So these semi-voluntary and semi-coercive men embarked on this road to attack Ye Cangcheng. It was not until they came to the battlefield that the civilian men realized that this road was a road of life and death. The first round of transportation had already killed many civilians, but the living men had four transportation tasks.

Feng Chu had roughly guessed the intention of the Western Liang army, so he ordered the guards to form the Dunjia formation, and the crossbowmen at the front of the Anchor City made good defenses to facilitate the crossbowmen to shoot archery counterattacks. Thousands of soldiers of the guards were divided into three teams, one team was responsible for the Dunjia formation, and the two teams were responsible for taking turns to shoot archery. In this way, the confrontation between the two armies entered a stage of equal strength.

Jin Chengqingxing asked Hu Yanhen in a faint tentative manner, "Prince, if you continue to be in such a stalemate, the number of feather arrows in our army is limited after all."

Hu Yanhen didn't even look at Jin Cheng Qingxing, but fortunately he at least agreed, "That's right, so the stone crossbow needs to appear at this time."

The stone crossbow is a huge siege equipment up to three feet high. It places the huge stone in the back seat of the stone crossbow, and relies on a twisted rope to bounce the rear seat high, and finally throws the huge stone far away. With the help of this elastic force, once the huge stone hits the city wall, it will cause great damage.

Feng Chu was very familiar with stone crossbows. This was the siege equipment developed by Daliang. It had been put into use on the battlefield decades ago. At that time, in order to ensure that the technology of making stone crossbows was not obtained by people from other countries, the army had always carried out the manufacturing of equipment in secret. Why does Xiliang have stone crossbows now? Feng Chu was surprised and felt deeply afraid at the same time, especially when the stone crossbows swung.

"Retreat immediately!"

Just as Feng Chu issued the order, four stone crossbows had already projected the huge rocks, and the huge rocks hit the four positions on the head of the city. The shield would not be the opponent of the huge rocks. A huge rock hit the top of the city, directly hitting the soldiers hiding behind the female wall into flesh mud. The scene was terrible. At the same time, the huge rocks also caused a certain degree of damage to the fortifications on the head of the city. One of the huge rocks directly hit a wall of the corner tower, smashing a large hole.

If this goes on, the city will be smashed sooner or later! Feng Chu's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about countermeasures, but Xiliang would not give him any chance to breathe. Within a limited time, the stone crossbows were launched one after another. The poliest guards guarded in the city watched the huge rocks fall from the sky, and they had no chance to emerge.

The attack at the head of Ye Cangcheng was getting weaker and weaker. The villagers gritted their teeth and grabbed it. They were so fast that they had already filled three bags of soil under the head of the city. Even if they were slow, they had completed two bags of soil. Now, Hu Yanhen's intention has begun to gradually reveal its prototype. The soil buried under Ye Cangcheng has formed a road, a road that can directly siege the city from the ground!

Although the stone crossbow is very powerful, it takes a certain amount of time to load and launch, and the huge stones are not so easy to obtain. Within an hour, the huge stones prepared by Xiliang were almost exhausted. At this critical moment, Hu Yanheng began to order to continue attacking with crossbow arrows, using the last batch of burning crossbow arrows. This batch of crossbow arrows was specially ordered by Hu Yanheng. The clusters of arrows were soaked with extremely easy burning wax oil. As long as they were lit, even if the crossbow arrows leaped rapidly in the air, they would not be extinguished.

The stone crossbow and the crossbow arrows were perfectly connected in time. Before the guards of Ye Cangcheng took a breath, the burning crossbow arrows shot towards the city again. Once the wax oil was stained, it was extremely difficult to extinguish it, so the sparks began to run around the city.

Feng Chu saw some soldiers shot by crossbow arrows, and the flames on his body soon began to spread throughout his body from one place, and then he turned into a fire man. The heart-wrenching roars made by the pain sounded at the top of the city. Some could not bear it and fell directly from the top of the city, while others were

It was burned to death alive, and the smell of the burning flesh hit my nose for a while.

At this time, Gu Junyuan rushed to the city and shouted to Feng Chu: "Commander, let me lead my troops out for a decisive battle!"

Faced with Gu Junyuan's expression of not fearing life and death, Feng Chu finally refused. "It's not enough to rely on a bloody courage at this time. Death is not a difficult task, but our military strength is limited, so we must not die in vain."

"But, commander?"

"It will be your turn to perform soon, don't let me down!"

Feng Chu didn't let Gu Junyuan say more and drove him back to the secret passage of the city wall. Then Feng Chu looked down at the city again. It has been two hours since the war started, and the first raceway has basically been formed. The raceway is a dirt road with low and high landed on the side by the civilians who relied on their backs regardless of their life and death. This is the siege plan that Hu Yanhen thought of. He did not intend to use the method of directly attacking the city gate, so he summoned these men to complete this task.

After completing their tasks, the civilians found that there were very few fellow villagers around them. Can those who survived the task after completing five bags of soil and still survived? The answer is no. These civilians who survived by luck were forced to continue working by the Xiliang cavalry. After all, a horse-drawn road is not enough. The horse-drawn outside the city wall on the other side has not been completed yet.

Hu Yanheng looked at the first completed racetrack. There were not only soil on this road, but also the corpses of countless civilians. After their death, they all contributed to the battle. Their bodies mixed with soil made the construction of the racetrack stronger.

"It's your turn to play."

Chi Shutong understood that Hu Yanhen was talking to him. He nodded and carried his helmet to a team of soldiers, waving a bone cane and let his subordinates follow him to charge.

Chi Shutong, who has rich combat experience, naturally would not be the first victims. He did take the lead, but he was the one who took the lead for Hu Yanheng to see. When he was halfway through the journey, he could tighten the reins and slow down the speed, allowing the soldiers behind him to rush forward and rush onto the horse-drawn road first.

Chi Shutong's concerns make sense. The newly built horse racing road was relatively loose, and the horse's hooves could only become solid after trampling on it. The first group of people who rushed to the horse racing road would definitely not be able to get faster, so they would undoubtedly become targets of the Jingyi Army. As expected, most of the Xiliang cavalry who took the lead fell halfway.
