After turning the top layer of the ladder into a sea of ​​fire, the flames continued to rage, like a hot spiritual snake, with the help of oil and other fire-induced objects, it quickly rushed under the ladder, and ignited most of the ladder in an instant.

Another ladder truck was treated the same on the wall of another section, and was directly burned by the soldiers guarding the city.

Along with the large number of white-bo soldiers on the ladder truck, they were burned to death by the flames and burned a large area. With these two giants like flame towers, the temperature was also heating up rapidly on the battlefield outside the city. The white-bo soldiers who were originally rushing to the ladder truck first fled back and forth desperately.

Seeing that the long-planned attack of Bai Bo soldiers was disintegrated by their own fire attack, the soldiers guarding the city walls all cheered loudly.

Amid the cheers of the soldiers, Cao Yuan's originally tense face gradually relaxed. However, on the chariot that supervised the battle outside the city, the golden armored soldier also saw that his two ladder cars were burned by the defenders in Linfen City, but his drum beat was not slow at all, but accelerated.

Amid the rumbling drums, the Baibo soldiers who retreated in panic, fled to the rear of the formation and were driven away by Qu Chang, Tun Jiang and others from behind, and formed three square formations in the chaos.

The troops in the rear were originally moving slowly and turned into front troops, intending to continue to attack Linfen City.

When Cao Yuan saw that Bai Bo's army was planning to continue the offensive momentum, she frowned slightly. Today's Bai Bo's army was a little abnormal. Not only did various siege equipment take turns to fight, but she also fought forcibly without hesitating casualties, making a gesture of swearing to take Linfen City.

This is very different from the combat style of the Baibo Army in the past!

Although Cao Yuan had this suspicious thought in his heart, seeing that the second wave of attacks of Bai Bo soldiers was about to arrive, Cao Yuan had no time to think about it, so he quickly commanded the soldiers on the city wall to send the casualties to the city for treatment, and then sent soldiers to several sections of the city wall with weak forces to supplement and consolidate defense.

The city walls here are dispatching troops, and the soldiers of Bai Bo who have become the front army are also continuing to approach.

Most of their ladders and siege hammers have been destroyed in the previous round of siege battles. Now they are launched, there are three sprinters, two of which are large and one small. The small sprinters were obviously completed temporarily and are not as good as the other two sprinters in terms of material and volume.

The overall structure of this kind of steep timber house is like a pointed wooden house, extremely strong, with wooden wheels installed below, and cowhide on the outside of the top layer to prevent the damage of the arrows and stones of the soldiers guarding the city. In order to prevent fire attacks, the soldiers of Baibo also poured mud on it.

Although Bai Bojun was not able to spare enough to cover the outer periphery of the two ladder trucks, the military supplies could still support the outer layer of the three steep wooden houses.

On the other hand, in order to attack the siege hammers of the Baibo soldiers, the rocks on the city wall had been pushed down the wall, while other small bricks and stones could not actually damage the rushing carts, let alone destroy them all.

The three Baibo Army's rushing cars continued to move forward. The Baibo soldiers hiding under the pointed wooden house shouted horns and exerted force together, pushing the rushing cars towards the direction of Linfen City Gate. Because the rushing car was covered with cowhide and mud was poured on, the damage caused by the rocket to it was minimal. Even before the arrow cluster could be pierced into the thick cowhide, the flames were extinguished by the mud and bounced out in other directions.

Cao Yuan looked at the three rushers. The shoddy rusher behind was not the case, but the two rushers in front really threatened the city gate of Linfen.

Even if there are huge rocks on the city wall at this section of the city gate, it is difficult to really destroy the rocks directly because of the pointed wooden house structure on the top of the Baibo Army's rushing car. Often, once the rock falls, it will slip along the two slopes to both sides, and at most it can only hit a few Baibo soldiers.

Although the inner side of Linfen's city gate has been sealed with earth and stone, once the Linfen city gate is broken by a scavenger, a large number of Baibo soldiers who pour in can still quickly clear the earth and stone and clear out a road to the city for their army.

Therefore, before the Baibo army's rushing car destroyed the city gate, all three rushing car must be destroyed.

Cao Yuan watched Bai Bojun's rushing car get closer and closer to the city wall. He ordered Zhang Shi on the city wall not to be stingy with crossbow arrows and to shoot all the Bai Bo soldiers guarding both sides of the rushing car. Even if they cannot destroy the rushing car, they should try to slow down the speed of the rushing car.

On the other hand, Cao Yuan ordered that Hutou, who was resting under the city, lead the 100 elite Xiliang troops who were waiting in line to listen to the sound of the horn on the top of his city. Once the sound of the horn representing the attack sounded, he immediately took his men out of the rushing gate reserved on this wall, and led fire to burn all the three rushing cars.

After the two big rushers in front arrived at the city gate one after another, the crossbow arrows on the top of the city suddenly became much denser. Most of these rushers had three-stone crossbows. The crossbow arrows were strong and had full penetration. The Baibo soldiers holding the shield were easily penetrated by the crossbow arrows and pierced their bodies. The Baibo soldiers guarding both sides of the rusher fell down a lot of arrows, and there were soon some more space next to the two rushers.

"Blow the trumpet, attack!"

After Cao Yuan saw that the defense power of the Bai Bo soldier's rushing car was weakened, he knew that Shi should not be lost, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to sound the horn and attack immediately.

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Amid the desolate horns, the raid of the city wall in Linfen opened instantly. When Cao Yuan ordered the tiger hair to shout, he shouted, carrying a hundred elite Western Liang army soldiers carrying fire and firewood, carrying firewood, and rushed out and rushed to the Baibo army's rushing car.

Bai Bo's soldiers had never expected that there would be a raid gate in this section of the Linfen city wall. When they occupied Linfen City, there was obviously no such city defense setting. This was what Cao Yuan recruited craftsmen and civil servants at the instruction of Yan Xing after taking over Linfen's city defense. He spent a lot of time and energy to excavate and disguise them.

Caught off guard, the defense of the Baibo soldiers was suddenly dispersed by the elite Xiliang army like tigers from the mountain. The purpose of these elite Xiliang army was also very clear. They did not seek to kill and kill Baibo soldiers in large numbers, but wanted to quickly burn the three rushers that threatened the city gate.

Some of them continued to attack the Baibo soldiers, killing them to retreat continuously, while others rushed to the steep wooden house of the rushing car, waved their swords and cut down the Baibo soldiers who were lightly pushing and pulling the rushing car, ignited the flames, and burned the rushing car.

Under the steep wooden house of the rushing car, there was a large amount of wood and hemp rope for pulling the rushing car. Once ignited, the fire became stronger and stronger, and the flames continued to emerge from the inside and outside. After the soldiers of the Xiliang army quickly burned one, they quickly burned another rushing car.

When they burned the third small rushing car, they escaped. The scattered Baibo soldiers were already lined up under the command of the generals of the Tun, and began to defend the Xiliang army. They fought to the death and defended the last rushing car. Both sides could not hold on for a while. Although the Xiliang soldiers fought hard, they could not enter the rushing car and ignite it.

More white Bo soldiers were rushing towards this side with the dense rain of arrows on the city, trying to surround them from both sides, cut off the retreat of the young man who risked his life to go out of the city to burn the Xiliang army, and then kill them all under the city to avenge the soldiers in front of him being shot and killed in large numbers.

Hutou, with the elite of the Xiliang Army, could not break through the defense line set up by the Baibo Army in a short time, and his eyes turned to a large number of Baibo soldiers on both sides who were speeding up. He was anxious and was thinking that he would fight to the death without avoiding weapons. He knocked away the shield in front of him and set off a bloody path for the soldiers behind him.

At this moment, another gong sounded on the top of the city. Hutou and other elite Xiliang soldiers were shocked. They knew that this was the originally scheduled retreat signal, so they shouted again. The soldiers attacking in the front row held shields to block the Baibo soldiers, and the soldiers in the back row of Xiliang soldiers took off firewood and hay, and then ignited them and threw them over. Although they could not directly burn the last rushing car, it was also very effective to block the pursuit of other Baibo soldiers and reduce the burden on their own soldiers.

These elite Xiliang army soldiers who followed Yan Xing for a long time and had been through war formations. They were as powerful as rainbows when attacking, and were orderly when retreating, and cooperated with each other. Soon, under the cover of bows and arrows on the top of the city, they retreated from several raids and into Linfen City in batches.

After Cao Yuan waited until all the elite Xiliang army outside the city retreated from the Tumen and entered the city, he quickly ordered the soldiers in the city to use earth, stone and sandbags to seal all the exposed Tumen and ordered the soldiers not to attack again.

Although it was just a brief assault just now, the elite Xiliang army had few enemies. Even though everyone was wearing armor and holding soldiers, brave and fearless, they were still flesh and blood. In order to burn two big rushers, more than 20 corpses were left on the battlefield, and many others were injured.

These are all elite soldiers in Yan's army. One of them died was less than one, and it was impossible to replenish them in a hurry. Just now, Cao Yuan was on the top of the city and watched every soldier who left the city fight in blood and fall down seriously injured. His heart couldn't help but twitch.

Therefore, after seeing that the two storms that pose the greatest threat to the city gate had been burned by the elite Xiliang army led by Hutou, other Baibo soldiers were rushing in this direction in large numbers. Hutou wanted to break through the stable defense line of Baibo's army, so Cao Yuan decisively issued an order to retreat.

The remaining small rusher poses little threat to the city gate and is not strong enough. At most, some bricks and torches can be used to destroy it. It is really not worth it to lose the elite of the Western Liang army, including Hutou and others, on this small rusher.

It should be noted that this siege battle is far from the time to stop!

···

In the subsequent siege battle, although Bai Bo's soldiers were still sieging the city with a large number of ants, the initiative to control the situation was always firmly in Cao Yuan's hands. Although Bai Bo's army was able to use wheel battles and attack in batches, it consumed the strength of the defenders on the city, but in the end it was still unable to successfully break through the city defense.

After leaving the corpses all over the ground, the Baibo army finally blew the horn of retreat in the afternoon light, and a large number of Baibo soldiers retreated to their own military camps one after another.

After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the attack of Baibo's army, which was far more than their own. The Linfen defenders on the city wall were naturally ecstatic. They all shouted loudly, venting their complex and exciting moods.

After the soldiers fighting bloody battle retreated, they could finally breathe a breath, relax, and clean up and wash it, but Cao Yuan, who was also commanding the city to guard the city for a long time, could not stop.

He must speed up the inspection of other sections of the city walls, repair the city defense in time, replenish the city guarding equipment, clean up the blood stains on the city walls, encourage the morale of the city guarding soldiers, reward the soldiers who fought bravely, and comfort the injured soldiers. These things seem trivial and minor, but Cao Yuan knew that what he was guarding was a dangerous city. A little bit of people's support may cause the fall of Linfen City. Even after winning the battle, as the commander of the city guarding, he cannot easily slack off.

He patrolled the city wall all the way to the city. Cao Yuan happened to meet the tiger's head wrapped in a wounded cloth on his left arm. He led the team to attack out of the city and burned the Bai Bo army's rushing forward because he rushed to the front in order to speed up the attack and kill the enemy. Although he accidentally got his left arm because of his thick armor and was not seriously injured, he also shed a lot of blood. He needed to recuperate and he could be completely healed.

"Fortunately, the offensive of Bai Bo's soldiers was uncoordinated. If the rushers arrived at the same time as the ladders not long ago, I was afraid that even if I led the team to break out of the city, I would not be able to get close to the next side of the rushers. It would be even more difficult to burn them!"

Hutou looked at his wounded arm and said to Cao Yuan fearlessly. After hearing Hutou's words, Cao Yuan nodded silently.

Hutou was right. When the situation was critical before, it was indeed as he said. If the rushing car and ladder trucks reached at the same time, it would be very difficult for the defenders on the city wall to deal with the Baibo soldiers on the ladder trucks. How could they be divided into soldiers and Jie Zhang Shi to support the elite Xiliang army who were rushing out of the city and burned down the rushing car.

Once such a situation of confusion occurs, Linfen City will not be far from falling.

However, while Cao Yuan felt the same way about Hutou's words, he also remembered the doubts he had appeared on the city wall before.

Today, Bai Bo's army turned against the usual, with an extremely fierce offensive, and even reached the point of casualties. After the two ladder trucks were burned, the morale of the Bai Bo soldiers who were siegeing the city had declined, and they had to use their own killing weapon in advance and launch an attack regardless of everything. This made Cao Yuan, who was cautious and calm by nature feel the luck of winning, and also felt a little unusually vigilant.

The Bai Bo army's siege today seems to have other plans.

Cao Yuan's deep eyes slowly moved down from the tiger's wounded arm, and turned to his combat boots that were still stained with blood and soil.

"not good!"
Chapter completed!
