At the moment when the heavy army battalion fired a round of arrows, thousands of shield formations closed again, providing strong protection for the army.

Yun Lin, the vanguard general of the Nanhai camp, has already rushed to the moat with tens of thousands of people, and is adding huge cedar trees to the river under the protection of the shield formation.

Seeing a hail of arrows coming, he had to call for the shield array behind him to protect the soldiers carrying the cedar.

However, before they could withstand the rain of arrows above their heads, they were greeted by heavy arrows like black lightning shot from the other side of the moat!

So, amid a burst of exclamations, the Nanhai soldiers who rushed to the moat became the first batch of people to fall.

You must know that once the heavy slave encounters an obstruction and explodes, it will instantly turn into nine, which will invisibly increase the lethality countless times!

Although the injury was not fatal, he immediately lost the ability to fight and attack, and needed help from his companions to take him away from the battlefield.

With just one attack, the Nanhai army attacking the moat suddenly lost one-third of its offensive capabilities.

Yun Zhongchen in the distance saw that the catapult had lost its offensive effect on the walls of Nanyun City, and immediately changed the combat order!

Looking at the general, he shouted: "Order the catapults behind to adjust their angles and attack the Southern Xinjiang army under the moat!"

The messenger immediately conveyed the latest instructions to the generals on the left and right, as well as the vanguard general.

Nalan Yu, who seemed to have considered this move for a long time, sighed on the city wall.

He said to Ma Feihu: "Order Wang Tianhua to shoot one more round, and then evacuate back to the city as planned."

Tens of thousands of people were placed in front of Nanyun City, making them a living target for the other party.

This was also a decision he had no choice, because he wanted to use these thousands of wooden heavy slaves in exchange for thousands of catapults from the South China Sea army!

After receiving the order, Wutianhua issued the order as quickly as possible to the messengers around him.

"All the heavy loaders were lit with kerosene...and then evacuated quickly after firing the volley!"

Amidst the waving of flags, a long fire dragon burned in front of Nanyun City. Before the Nanhai catapult could adjust its angle, it threw the first round of attacking stones...

Thousands of burning heavy slaves have crossed the moat and are flying towards the South China Sea army camp on the opposite side!

Those who were about to attack, but the Nanhai soldiers who had been injured and had no time to retreat, lay down on the ground to avoid the oncoming arrows of death.

But those towering catapults were not spared!

Then, there was a roaring sound, and countless catapults fell down with arrows, and then burned in front of the army.

"withdraw!"

Wang Tianhua issued the order: "The shield formation will protect the army and evacuate into the city. Act immediately!"

Amidst the sound of trumpets, tens of thousands of soldiers from southern Xinjiang quickly evacuated outside the city gate under the cover of shield array.

Only at this moment did the catapults of the Nanhai Army in the distance adjust their angles and prepare to attack the city!

Even so, there was still a whirring sound in front of Nanyun City. It was the stones thrown by catapults, heading towards the tens of thousands of troops under Nanyun City!

Then, a miserable roar sounded in front of Nanyun City!

Those were the soldiers who were evacuating. Even if they were protected by shield formations, they would not be able to defeat the rocks falling from the sky!

Nalan Yu, who was standing on the city wall, became angry, pointed forward and shouted: "The whole army set fire with their bows and arrows and destroyed the Nanhai army by the moat!"

Woohoo! Woohoo!

The horn sounded again and the drums beat again!!

Hundreds of thousands of burning iron arrows were instantly ignited at the top of Nanyun City. In an instant, they turned into rockets that filled the sky and flew towards the other side of the moat!

Even with the protection of the shield array, the cedar trees around the Nanhai army were instantly set on fire by iron arrows poured with kerosene!

Amidst the rattling sounds of the stone-throwing mechanism, a pile of blazing flames burned beside the moat in front of Nanyun City!

In a blink of an eye, the eyes of both armies were dazzled!

Amidst the earth-shattering cries, the sound of blazing flames, and the rain of arrows, the front of Nanyun City turned into an iron-blooded battlefield!

Both sides suffered casualties! The South China Sea Army was even more unreasonable!

They had prepared their catapults for countless years, but after just one battle, they had already lost their power and could no longer form a fatal offensive against Nanyun City!

And Yun Zhongchen has no intention of retreating!

Seeing that the opponent was also evacuating, and judging from the serious injuries, he gave the order to continue the attack!

This time, the second echelon of the South China Sea Army finally formed a new impact on the moat under the protection of the shield array!

Because they wanted to take advantage of the fact that many of the cedars on the river had already been erected, and these cedars had been treated with fire protection before, making it difficult to burn.

Amidst the sound of horns one after another, tens of thousands of Nanhai soldiers rushed towards the moat against the cedars and ladders.

As expected by Yun Zhongchen, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Nanhai army had already built countless bridges on the moat!

Under the cover of the shield formation, tens of thousands of troops stepped onto the cedar bridges on the moat!

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, he rushed towards the other side!

Looking at the astonishing scene in front of him, Nalan Yu had to admire Yun Zhongchen's determination.

Seeing that the army had evacuated the city, the heavy slaves issued new orders again!

Looking at Ma Feihu, he said: "Send the order, use the rockets in your hands to light the heavy slaves beside the moat!!"

Upon hearing this, Yelu Mingzhu, who was standing next to him, turned to look at Wang Ruyi and Xiaolian and shouted: "Sister, let's shoot those heavy slaves with rockets!"

Hu Ge glanced at Tang Chao and shouted: "Shoot out all the iron arrows in your hand!"

Under a series of whizzing arrows, the eight thousand wooden heavy slaves in front of Nanyun City were instantly ignited, along with the kerosene barrels beside the heavy slaves and the firewood prepared before.

The wind boosted the fire, instantly forming a wall of fire about two feet wide beside the moat.

Why is the fire wall two feet long? Because before, eight thousand heavy slaves were lined up in two rows, plus stacked kerosene barrels and countless firewood...

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fire wall two feet wide.

At the moment when the long wall of fire was burning along the moat, Nalan Yu gave the order again!

"Order the army to fire three volleys, aiming at the Nanhai army on the moat!"

Only this time, before Yun Zhongchen could give the order to evacuate, left general Murong Wudi, right general Wang Yijian, together with the vanguard general, issued the order to evacuate with their subordinates!

There is a 2-foot-wide wall of fire burning in front of you, and tens of thousands of arrows are raining down from the sky. If you go any further, you will die!

Even so, many Nanhai soldiers fell on the wide moat!

The rain of arrows is pouring down, and it is not something that can be escaped just by turning around.

This battle was beyond the expectations of the commanding generals of both sides. Nalan Yu had made countless assumptions and expected that Yun Zhongchen would actually let the catapult attack the heavy slave camp by the moat instead.

And Yun Zhongchen was connected with the military advisor Shang Donglin, the general Yunxuan, the vanguard general Yunlin, the left general Murong Wudi, the right general Wang Yijian and others.

I never expected that the general of Southern Xinjiang would actually order the thousands of heavy slaves in front of Nanyun City to be the same as the previous twelve trenches.

A fire burned the moat side into a fire dragon that reached the sky.

Amidst the sound of the retreat horns of both sides, the front of Nanyun City suddenly became a sea of ​​fire!

Tang Chao pointed at the retreating Nanhai soldiers and asked incredulously: "General, why don't you take advantage of the victory and go out and kill them?"

Nalan Yu glanced at him and said nothing. After a long time, he murmured to himself: "You have to go to Tianshan to ask the National Master about this matter. This is the rule he set back then."

Hu Ge glared at him and said: "You are a pig and you haven't fought before. This is to give the other party time to take the injured soldiers away."

Yang Kaiyi on the side sighed and said leisurely: "I didn't expect that this battle was all due to the master's clever plan. Otherwise, we might not be able to withstand those catapults alone."

Hua Luoyu came out of the tower and looked at the evacuating armies, her brows furrowed slightly.

Looking at the scene below the city, she knew that in today's battle, even Nanyun City's army was seriously injured.

Nalanyu looked at Ma Tianyun and said: "Treat the injured soldiers first, and then slowly count the casualties."

He was originally in a happy mood for the battle, but was finally broken by the Nanhai army. Now he finally understood that he was still not as good as the Imperial Master on the Tianshan Mountains.

It was not until Youshi that the soldiers of Nanhai evacuated the catapults that were still intact from the battlefield.

Ten miles outside Nanyun City, in the camp of the Nanhai Army.

Yun Zhongchen looked at the military advisor Shang Donglin who walked in last, sighed quietly and said: "Please, military advisor, please tally the casualties and then send the battle report to Xichun City."

In his opinion, it was already summer, and his father should have arrived at Xichun City along with the big ship carrying military rations.

Not to mention how to deal with the subsequent battle, at least he would not easily continue to attack Nanyun City without receiving instructions from Yun Tiannan.

The catapult that our side had spent an unknown amount of time preparing was completely useless against Nanyun City.

Moreover, seventy-eight percent of them were lost in one battle. How will the next war proceed?

Even though he had considered all the conveniences, he didn't expect that Nanyun City would be so difficult to chew.

It was not that he had not come to Nanyun City before, but he did not expect that there was a huge magic circle hidden on this seemingly inconspicuous black city wall.

Perhaps, only Gongyang Chunqiu, the mysterious old man on Feixian Island, could think of a way to attack the city.

Shang Donglin sat in silence for a long time without speaking. It was not until the two grassland khan kings entered the camp that he sighed: "Let's wait until the island owner comes to make a decision on this matter."

Yun Zhongchen looked at the two Khan kings with unhappy expressions. The food and fodder of the two royal courts were not burned, which caught him off guard.

The two of them were almost forced to return to the grassland to find trouble with the other two royal courts.
