The Era of Generals

　　 "Damn it!"

　　 The general Fang, who was guarded by the sword and shield hand, was full of sullen face. Looking at the wall of fire in front of him, the flames in his own eyes were also skyrocketing.

　　 After finally waiting for the five walls of fire to gradually extinguish, he hurriedly ordered the engineers to fill up the passageway, hoping to take down Xiyun City in one effort.

　　 As a result, the siege equipment had just been pushed to the front line, and before it had any effect, a wall of fire suddenly stood up and everyone died.

　　 The fire is huge.

　　According to Chen Ze's instructions, the soldiers poured enough kerosene into the trenches of two hundred meters behind. Once it was ignited, it would explode like an explosion, and the flames that burst out were almost as high as one person.

　　 Although the trench is not dug wide, it only takes a run-up sprint to leap over, at most a few strands of hair are scorched.

　　 But what about the siege equipment?

　　 In order to prevent the wheels from getting stuck, these trenches have to be filled!

　　 However, the flame is not broken like a block of ice. They go down the bag of sand, and before this piece of fire is extinguished, the flames on both sides are closed again, and there is no gap in sight from above.

The catapult is made of wood. Although the siege tower is covered with moist animal skins, there are none on the wheels. Moreover, given the intensity of the fire, the animal skins will be dried out soon. A volley on the Rockets, but not a few rounds.

　　 If you want to fill in a gap in the wall of fire for siege equipment to pass through, you need at least twice the cost of sandbags than the ordinary trenches before!

　　 The old sandbags can be picked up and used after the siege equipment has passed, but what about the ones in the fire pit?

　　 Sand is not afraid of fire, but the sacks filled with sand are afraid of fire. The sand is scattered early this time, and it cannot be used again. The number of sandbags carried by the poisonous fog army is completely insufficient.

　　 As for using the shield of the sword and shield hand to build a path...

　　 What will happen if the wooden wheels roll over the red chrome iron?

　　 General Fang did not want to make such a senseless attempt.

　　 Then.

"Wait!"

　　 In response to the questioning gaze of the leaders of the various forces, General Fang gritted his teeth and forced the word out of his throat.

　　 Right now, I can only wait for the flame to go out!

　　The flames in the trenches were so fierce, no one continued to add firewood and oil. After burning for a while, the flames would naturally become smaller, as was the case with the five walls of fire just now.

General Fang could clearly see that even if the trenches behind this wall of fire were full of kerosene, they could only stop them for a while. According to the extinguishing speed of the previous wall of fire, at best, all the fuel in the trenches was at the time of the hour. It will be exhausted.

　　Zi time, although there are still more than two hours, but it is far from the point where the soldiers under his hunger are dizzy, and their strength will not be greatly affected.

　　 Of course, General Fang, who didn't know anything about Chen Ze, didn't know what the word Zishi meant.

　　 With a plan in mind, General Fang is not in a hurry. He arranges for the army to rest on the spot, and then asks everyone to take out a small amount of dry food that they carry, evenly, the big guy eats it separately, somehow recover his strength.

　　 He also made adjustments to the formation.

General 　　 Fang didn't forget the ambush behind him, and he didn't want him to be stabbed from behind by an unexpected ambush when the battle was going on.

　　 is based on dividing a part of the troops to defend the rear, plus the cavalry on both sides, forming an iron barrel formation under this West Cloud City.

At the same time, he was not obsessed with having to take down the West Gate. While waiting for the flame to go out, he sent out scouts to investigate the situation of the other two gates. Once he had the opportunity, he didn't mind to bypass the West Gate and attack the other. Two places.

　　Everything was going to stop, General Fang looked through the flames, and stared directly at the word Xiyun above the tower, his face was full of bitterness.

　　His military rank in the Zhu Yan Empire is not low. He was a sixth-class general when he infiltrated the Poisonous Mist Forest three years ago. Accepting this task is also jealous of the rewards, and he can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant in one fell swoop.

　　After three years of careful planning, I thought of accomplishing one move, but I didn't expect that just after walking out of the forest of poisonous mist, I was stuck in the first step.

　　 All of this was brought to him by the current city defense command of West Cloud City. General Fang was full of indignation and secretly swore that when the city was broken, he would frustrate this person to ashes before he could vent his hatred!

　　 And Chen Ze...

　　 Chen Ze was not on the tower, he didn't even feel the bitter gaze of General Fang.

　　 Seeing that the poisonous fog army under the city was stopped by the wall of fire two hundred meters away, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation was still under control for the time being.

　　 The biggest threat to city defense is the siege equipment that the enemy has on hand.

　　 It goes without saying that the siege tower has to be pushed to the edge of the city wall in order to exert its maximum effect, and the catapult with powerful long-range strike capability, Chen Ze has already calculated.

The catapult is just four wheels mounted on the catapult. The attack range is the same, about 100 meters on flat ground, but if you want to shoot up to the tower, you have to narrow the distance to 70 meters. Otherwise, the stone bullets can only hit the city wall ~www.readwn.com~ west of the thickness of the cloud city wall, and the opponent has only three catapults, which is far from enough to knock down the city wall just by slinging stones.

Since the opponent hadn't even reached the effective attack range, he naturally had no reason to stay on the city with big eyes and small eyes. Taking advantage of this period of time, Chen Ze got down from the wall and went with Li Quanan to check what he had previously assigned. schedule.

As for Meng Yang and a group of swordsman and spearmen, the only soldiers left by Chen Ze’s own soldiers on the tower were the five archers who were closely observing the fire below. Once they saw that the wall of fire was about to go out, they would fire them again. A trench is very stable.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

　　 Coming down from the city wall, the soldiers along the way saw Chen Ze all standing at attention and saluting, with sincere respect on their faces.

The West Cloud City, which no one has the confidence to defend, is still alive today. Whether it is the wall of fire outside the city or the fire of the enemy army formation, this is all from Chen Ze. The previous pessimism and despair of the soldiers have been reduced a lot. After stabilizing the military's morale and reviving the morale, the soldiers' admiration for Chen Ze was beyond words.

　　 But naturally it is not the time to relax right now.

　　 While responding to the soldiers, Chen Ze led Li Quanan quickly to the square in front of the city gate, where people were crowded and shouting, everyone was busy with their work.

　　 The ten trebuchets have basically been erected. At this time, they are placed in an arrow-like formation in a one-two-three formation, and the point of the arrow is just outside the city gate.

　　 "My lord, the catapult has been set up!"

　　 Seeing Chen Ze coming, Xu Qing, who commanded the soldiers, wiped the sweat on his forehead and ran to Chen Ze to report.

"very good!"

　　 Chen Ze glanced, nodded in satisfaction, and smiled: "Where's the slinger? Call everyone to gather, it's time for class."
