"Whoosh whoosh..."

There was a buzzing of bowstrings above the city, but this time there were a lot fewer arrows, because many archers were vomiting there.However, the lack of arrows caused a lot of casualties to the prairie coalition forces, because at this time, how could the prairie coalition forces care about raising wooden shields?
Moreover……

Those were wooden shields. At this time, those wooden shields were burning. As a result, the grassland coalition forces under the city were completely exposed to the attacks of the archers. A round of arrow rain caused huge casualties to the grassland coalition forces.

The face of Huang Taiji on the opposite side was ashen. He originally wanted to attack the city with the first batch of prairie coalition forces to put pressure on the Ming soldiers, and then launch a fire attack to make the Ming soldiers panic, further oppress the Ming soldiers, and finally kill the Ming soldiers. When his nerves were so oppressed that he was about to collapse, he used the siege vehicles and arrow towers he had built these days to defeat the Ming soldiers in one fell swoop. He had been building siege vehicles and arrow towers these days, waiting for the final decisive battle.

He didn't want to procrastinate any longer, in fact, he couldn't procrastinate any longer. The army only had enough food and grass for three days, so he just wanted to break through the capital today.

However, he never expected that Luo Xin would set fire to it before he could use his follow-up means.Immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"You have fire, so do I!"

He waved his hand and said, "Rocket!"

"boom……"

Behind Huang Taiji, [-] cavalry rushed out. The moment they rushed out, each prairie cavalry fired a rocket.

Luo Xin on the top of the city narrowed his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Prepare to put out the fire, pour the fire oil down."

The soldiers on the top of the city immediately began to move the kerosene tanks down. At this time, they didn't care about the grassland coalition attacking the city, and they moved the box containing the kerosene tanks in just a few breaths.

"Om..."

There was a humming of bowstrings from below the city, and ten thousand rockets flew towards the top of the city, and landed on the top of the city.In just an instant, a big fire burned above the top of the city.

"Fire out!"

Luo Xin shouted sharply, in fact, before Luo Xin gave the order, auxiliary soldiers rushed up with buckets and started to put out the fire.

The prairie coalition forces outside the city ignited their rockets again, and rushed towards the top of the city. Each prairie cavalry only had two rockets, but if they gathered in one place, that would be [-] rockets. The capital is clearly visible.

The people and officials in the capital are all looking up at the fires burning all around the capital. Emperor Jiajing in the palace is also anxious, but they can only wait at this time, waiting for the news from the front line, praying in their hearts, praying Luo Xin was able to withstand the attack of the grassland coalition forces.

The [-] prairie cavalry outside the city did not retreat, they took out long arrows from their arrow pots one after another. Although they were no longer rockets at this time, when all the arrows were fired at once, they caused great damage to the Ming soldiers who were fighting the fire on the top of the city. Big casualties.

"Shieldman, protect!"

"Archers, ballista soldiers, catapults, suppress the enemy."

Luo Xin shouted hoarsely, his face was blackened by the fireworks, but the soldiers who heard Luo Xin's order quickly calmed down from their panic. Luo Xin's voice was their confidence, and the shield hand soon A row of archers, ballista soldiers, and catapults also began to counterattack at the top of the city, suppressing the prairie cavalry below.

At the same time, the prairie soldiers under the city who were attacked by kerosene just retreated, and the [-] soldiers suffered more than [-] casualties.Under Huang Taiji's order, they began to regroup.Then under Huang Taiji's order, he pushed towards the city wall again.

The fire on the top of the city hadn't been completely extinguished yet, but Luo Xin was standing on the top of the city through the gap in the shield, but he had already seen the prairie coalition army rushing towards the city wall again.His brows frowned suddenly, and his eyes revealed a look of shock.

There was another movement from behind Huang Taiji, and behemoths appeared in his vision.

"That's..." Luo Xin felt his mouth dry.

"Siege vehicles and arrow towers!" Admiral Zhang was taken aback.

The principle of the siege engine is the same as that of the catapult, but the scale is much larger than that of the catapult. It is more than one foot long and two feet tall. It cannot be pushed by a human. It needs six horses to pull it. The power is unknown. How many times that of the catapult, it is extremely destructive and has an extremely long range.

The archery tower is a movable attic built of wood, which is higher than the city wall and has a strong defense. Archers standing on the archery tower can directly shoot and kill the soldiers defending the city, forming a suppression of the soldiers defending the city.Let the soldiers attacking the city be able to successfully attack the top of the city.

"grown ups!"

All the generals looked at Luo Xin sternly, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes at this time.Luo Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said in a concentrated voice:

"It seems that this decisive battle is more difficult than imagined!"

All the generals nodded and looked at Luo Xin full of expectations. They were expecting that Luo Xin would come up with a way to restrain the siege engine and the arrow tower.

Everyone knew very well that after the prairie coalition forces had siege vehicles and arrow towers, most of the advantage of the Ming soldiers' high walls and thick walls had been lost.

"Order the soldiers to pay attention to concealment. Ballista soldiers and catapults aim at the siege vehicles and archery towers, and hit me hard."

At this time, the fire on the top of the city has been basically extinguished, only sporadic fires are still burning, and they are no longer a threat to the soldiers of Ming Dynasty, but the smoke is billowing, and it looks like hell.

Luo Xin looked towards the opposite side, his expression became more solemn, he did not expect that the other party would have siege vehicles and arrow towers, and there were ten siege vehicles and ten arrow towers.This is a huge threat to the capital.Looking down, I saw 1 cavalrymen still wandering around below the city, shooting arrows at the city wall, and more than [-] soldiers were running towards the city wall, and they were about to be forced under the city wall.

Luo Xin's heart began to tense up. This time, the grassland coalition forces attacked almost from all directions.There are siege vehicles in the distance, there are arrow towers on the heights, and there are 6000 cavalry on the ground shooting into the cover, and more than [-] soldiers are rushing towards the city wall with ladders.

Luo Xin has been very calm since he fought against the Allied Forces of the Grassland.Moreover, the situation of the battle has indeed been firmly in Luo Xin's hands, but today his heart hangs.He has a feeling that the battle situation is out of control.

Siege vehicles and arrow towers are too large and heavy, and they move extremely slowly.When more than [-] soldiers had rushed under the city wall, ten siege vehicles and ten arrow towers were still slowly advancing towards the city wall.However, the psychological pressure these twenty behemoths put on the Ming soldiers above the city was enormous.
