The Era of Generals

　　 West Cloud Tower.

　　 The poisonous fog army has already appeared, and the atmosphere above the tower is extremely solemn.

　　 is far superior to its own forces, powerful and unmatched siege equipment, and the icy murderous intent gradually emanating from the enemy camp.

　　Everything made the soldiers upstairs in West Cloud City feel that one heavy boulder was pressed into their hearts.

For the three thousand soldiers and horses of West Cloud City, Chen Ze separated the thousand old and weak remnants and sent them to the two southeast gates. Together with Cao Lang and other generals’ private soldiers, they ensured that the two gates had a minimum of guards. , In case of accidents.

　　 As for the remaining two thousand people, it is composed of one thousand recruits, four hundred city guards, and six blocks of blockade guard posts.

　　 These two thousand people, Chen Ze broke them up and mixed them up, mixed the recruits into the veteran queue, and then divided them into two, divided into two thousand-man teams.

　　 One thousand of them patrolled the tower, while the other thousand went down to rest first, trying to ensure that the soldiers guarding the city had sufficient physical strength.

　　 Of course, this is also at the beginning of the battle.

Even if there are veterans opposing each recruit, the faces of these recruits who have not experienced the battle still show panic and tension from time to time, and the one who can keep them calm is the one standing in the middle of the tower. juvenile.

　　 Chen Ze.

　　 He hasn't gone down since he got to the top of the tower. He has been standing behind the low wall and observing the enemy's every move. His calm and calm face is the confidence that supports the recruits at this moment.

　　 The poisonous fog army.

　　 After General Fang gave an order, hundreds of engineers rushed out of the formation, carrying sandbags on their shoulders, and under the cover of swordsmen and shields, began to fill the trenches in front of the city gate.

　　 As Xu Qing thought, the shallow and narrow trench dug by Chen Ze was useless. Several bags of sandbags went down, then stepped on with a foot to make it level.

　　 Although the trenches were dug very long, they didn't have to fill them all up, they only needed to make a passage for large siege equipment to pass through.

　　 To be on the safe side, General Fang even sent additional manpower to fill in five passages in sections, which were completely sufficient for the siege.

　　 It can be seen that General Fang has worked **** these fugitives during the past year. It is only by the skillful landfilling techniques of those engineers that he has not trained how many times.

　　 Soon, seven or eight trenches were quickly filled out of the passage, and the engineers non-stop, quickly advancing from 500 meters in front of Xiyun City to a range of 300 meters.

　　 Of course, because the distance is getting longer and longer, in order to save the time of moving sandbags back and forth, General Fang is also constantly sending more engineers into the battlefield.

　　 "Who is in charge of West Cloud City, is this guy sick!"

　　 General Fang, who was waiting impatiently, couldn't help but swear loudly, "Is there any use to make so many trenches? Idiot!"

　　 scolded and scolded, seeing the night approaching, he had to send more manpower again and again. The three hundred engineers reserved soon went to the battlefield, and even more than six hundred logistics troops were sent to help carry sandbags.

　　 "My lord, shall we just look at it like this?"

　　 At the head of the west cloud city, Xu Qingzhong returned with a disappointed face. He only glanced at the situation outside the city and Chen Ze, who was still like a mountain, and his heart was even more discouraged.

　　 You said you made so many trenches just to consume hundreds of sandbags and a little time for the enemy?

I dug it, it was useless, and was easily filled by the other party. After less than half an hour, the other party easily advanced two hundred meters. Xu Qing looked left and right, but did not see what effect these trenches played. .

　　 Chen Ze didn't squint, and said indifferently: "May the archer get the attack?"

　　 You don’t have to look at it, Xu Qing said in one sip: "I can't attack!"

　　 Not to mention the archers, at this moment, all the long-range attack methods of West Cloud City, even if the trebuchets that have been dismantled are included, they cannot attack to a distance of 500 meters away.

　　 This is also the reason why the engineers are so confident and doing so enthusiastically.

　　 "Since I can't attack, what can I do without watching?"

　　 Chen Ze asked with a chuckle.

"..." Xu Qing opened her mouth, a burst of anger in her chest was enduring and forbearing, and finally forced it down, while shaking her head sullenly, her heart was roaring: "If you can't attack, you can dig out the trench 500 meters. what!"

　　 West Cloud City...destroyed!

　　 Xu Qing looked sad, and had no hope for this third-class counselor.

　　 However, when his thoughts just started, Chen Ze, who had been silently watching outside the city gate, suddenly flashed in his eyes, turned his head and waved to the waiting Meng Yang.

　　At this moment, the engineers outside the city advanced another seventy meters, leaving only two hundred meters away from the West Cloud Gate, and this distance is the best attack distance for the five archer brothers of Meng Yang!

　　嘣!

　　 Boom boom boom boom boom!

The bowstring rang loudly on the tower, and the five elite archers who had been instructed long ago fired arrows that were ignited after being saturated with resin. The five rockets looked like five meteors that pierced the sky in the last afterglow of the setting sun. Quickly attacked to the engineering brigade.

"Shou!"

　　 The swordsmen and shields guarding the engineers had already prepared after reaching this distance. Seeing the rocket fired, they made a violent roar. Hundreds of huge shields were held high at the same time, guarding themselves and the engineers.

　　 "Are they just five archers?"

　　The main Xu gang who was watching the battle almost didn't laugh out of his teeth. The five ignited arrows were so eye-catching. Isn't it clear to tell them that there are not enough archers on the tower?

　　 However, the smile on his face just bloomed, when he heard a boom, UU reading www.uukanshu. There was fire in his eyes.

fire!

The five rockets did not attack the enemy outside the city, but only shot into the trench. As soon as the arrow fell, the wall of fire rose, and instantly five flames rose into the sky between the poisonous fog army and the west cloud gate. barrier!

"This!"

　　 The slumped Xu Qing's complexion changed, and he glanced at Chen Ze in surprise.

　　 There is a mystery hidden in these trenches. It is thought that Chen Ze ordered the five hundred weak soldiers to lay dry wood in the trench in advance, and then wet it with fire oil, so that it was possible to instantly ignite the wall of fire with a rocket.

　　 Just now, Chen Ze said that he could not attack at a distance of 500 meters. He thought it was for this arrangement. Xu Qing estimated that there would be kerosene in the trenches from 200 meters back.

　　 But after another thought, what's the use...

　　 No matter how strong the flame is, there will always be a moment of extinguishment. It is just a delay of some time, but no matter how it is delayed, it will not be delayed until the reinforcements arrive.

　　According to Xu Qing's thoughts, since Chen Ze had this arrangement, it would be better to release his arrows later and only light the fire wall when the engineers got closer. At any rate, one or two could be burned to death.

　　 At the moment such a big fire is igniting in front of the enemy's formation, and the opponent has defenses, and the trenches behind it are even more impossible for people to be attracted!

　　 How did he know that the trench fire array set by Chen Ze, apart from really wanting to delay time, the most fundamental purpose is to give a signal!

　　 As night fell, the flames soaring into the sky not only burned in the eyes of both the enemy and us, but also looked carefully at the people who had been hiding in the dark for a long time.

　　 "The son ordered, come with me!"

　　 Guo Zi, who was waiting impatiently early, shook his body suddenly, and an inexplicable powerful force suddenly spread all over his body.

　　The general of Wu'an, who was buried in Guo Zi's body in advance, was triggered by Chen Ze at the same time as the wall of fire was raised!
