The dense arrows shot on the wooden shield, crackling like rain hitting plantains. Luo Xin had expected this kind of scene. He clearly saw that only a few arrows shot from the gap between the wooden shield and the wooden shield. After entering, there was the muffled sound of arrows piercing into the flesh and the sound of screams.

"Om..."

The huge bowstring vibrated in the air, making a tooth-piercing sound. It was the sound of a ballista. A crossbow arrow shot out in anger. The wooden shields under the city could not stop the crossbow arrow at all. A crossbow arrow easily pierced After wearing a wooden shield, they nailed the Tartars to the ground one by one. The Tartars below were so dense that there was no need to aim at them. Every crossbow arrow was not wasted, which caused a panic in the grassland coalition forces.

It's just that there are too few ballistas, and after a round of shooting, it takes a long time to reinstall the ballista, which cannot cause continuous blows and threats to the grassland coalition forces.

"Buzzing..."

The prairie coalition forces below began to counterattack, and the archers started shooting from under the shield towards the top of the city.This time, the bows in the hands of the prairie people are all strong bows. In an instant, arrows are flying around the city.

The frontal city wall was covered by arrows shooting up and down, as if a waterfall composed of arrows had formed outside the city wall.

"what!"

With a scream, a Ming soldier on the top of the city was pierced through the head by an arrow, his body was thrown backwards, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Shield Soldiers!"

A pair of shield soldiers raised their shields and began to protect the archers and ballista soldiers.The fighting became more and more intense.

Looking at the prairie coalition forces below the city, Luo Xin couldn't help sighing in his heart, the prairie people seemed to be born warriors, arrows rained down beside them, and from time to time someone was shot by the arrows and fell to the ground.However, those prairie people looked indifferent, as if they didn't see the rain of arrows, and they didn't see the people around them fall down.

"What a steel-like will! Be ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to yourself!"

Luo Xin glanced at the distance, and shouted in a deep voice, "Catapult!"

Immediately, a herald shouted loudly: "Catapult, shoot!"

"Bang bang bang..."

That was the sound of a sledgehammer hitting the peg of the catapult, and then countless gravel rose into the sky, like a meteor shower in the sky, falling towards the heads of the prairie coalition forces.

"Bang bang bang..."

The wooden shield can block the arrows, but it can't block the stones weighing tens of kilograms. The stones are heavy, and coupled with the force of falling from the air, the shields in the hands of the prairie coalition forces were smashed to pieces in an instant. The soldiers on the prairie were flying with flesh and blood, and there was a sound of screams.

In this meteor shower-like gravel attack, the prairie coalition forces that had never stagnated finally couldn't help but stop.There was a burst of cheers from the top of the city.Luo Xin swept his eyes away, and he began to think about it, but in this round of attack, the prairie coalition forces suffered at least hundreds of casualties.

The combination of bows and arrows, ballistas, catapults, and the three kinds of ordnance finally caused the casualties of the grassland coalition forces to increase significantly, and the speed of advancement began to slow down.

However, the performance of the grassland coalition forces once again made Luo Xin sigh. The grassland coalition forces did not panic, and they did not raise their heads to look at the rain of arrows, gravel, and crossbow arrows, nor did they look at their fallen companions. Although it was still difficult, they did not Approaching the city wall without fear.

Luo Xin looked up and looked at Huang Taiji behind him.Huang Taiji still had [-] troops behind him. He saw casualties ahead, but the [-] troops remained silent, as if they hadn't seen the tragic situation at all.

"My lord, the enemy is approaching, do you want to drop the oil tank?" Admiral Zhang asked in a calm voice.

"En!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"Catapult, stop throwing gravel, throw oil tanks!"

The ballista soldiers on the top of the city immediately began to get busy. At this time, Huang Taiji, who was under the banner of the city, finally changed his dull expression, and his eyes released light.Raise your big hand slowly.

"Prepare……"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a piece of earthen jar flying out from the top of the city, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Thousands of kerosene tanks soared into the air, drew an arc in the air, and fell towards the grassland coalition forces below.

Some of these kerosene tanks collided with each other and shattered during the flight in the air, and the kerosene inside spilled from the air, and the unbroken kerosene poured on the shields of the grassland coalition forces, and the ground also fell one after another. After that, a smell of fire oil spread in the air.

The prairie allied forces were holding arrows, crossbow arrows, and gravel. Although their companions kept screaming and falling to the ground, they were still indifferent. They had a belief in their hearts that the Ming soldiers were weak and useless. It was only because of the high walls and thick walls of the capital that they occupied a favorable location to resist their attack.As long as they can attack the city wall, Ming soldiers are lambs to be slaughtered.

In fact, their hearts are not as indifferent to the continuous casualties of their companions as they appear on the surface. They are all burning with anger. At this time, they only have one belief in their hearts, that is, they must attack the city wall today. Then massacre the city!
Massacre the city!

But at this time, he saw another black thing falling from the sky, and thought it was gravel again, each of the prairie people raised their shields. Although they knew that shields could not block the gravel, this was the only thing they something to rely on.

but……

They felt something hit the wooden shield, but the wooden shield did not break as they imagined, and then they smelled a strange smell.

"This is...the smell of kerosene..."

The prairie coalition forces reacted suddenly, they realized the strong danger, without the orders from the superior, the prairie coalition forces quickly turned around and ran away.

but……

That's too late……

"Whoosh whoosh..."

One after another rockets shot towards the prairie coalition forces below the city, streaks of beautiful colors streaked across the sky.

"boom……"

The city instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames. Luo Xin looked at the scene below the city, and four words emerged in his mind:
living hell!

Countless prairie allied forces rolled on the ground, screaming and screaming everywhere, with despair in their voices.

The smell of barbecue wafted from under the city wall. This was the first time Luo Xin used kerosene, and it was also the first time he tasted this smell. He only felt his stomach churn, and he clenched his teeth hard. Grind your teeth to keep yourself from throwing up.

"vomit……"

Finally, a soldier on the top of the city couldn't help vomiting. Admiral Zhang and other generals looked at Luo Xin. Seeing Luo Xin's face was pale, but still calm, they couldn't help admiring him even more.

The prairie coalition forces under the city are already in chaos, Luo Xin narrowed his eyes, resisting the feeling of vomiting and shouted:
"Fire arrows!"
