Although I don’t know how Wen Zhehan did it, Li Dingshan is a veteran who has experienced many battles. After the shock, he quickly came up with countermeasures.

"Put up a spear and shield formation and hold on to the defense line!"

Li Dingshan calmly ordered the rear army to defend, and at the same time mobilized the central army archers to support the rear army, and ordered the front army to climb the city wall to speed up the siege.

The messenger quickly conveyed Li Dingshan's order.

The rear army that was disturbed by the surprise attack was quickly organized. The shield-armored pikemen came forward to form a square formation to block the cavalry charge, while the archers shot the cavalry behind.

Thousands of arrows were fired, but the cavalrymen who were charging forward suddenly dispersed and turned around and ducked into the alley behind them.

Countless arrows fell and pierced the brick wall and green tiles, but the cavalry disappeared.

Just when everyone thought the cavalry had retreated, a group of cavalry rushed out from the Suzaku Street with the lingering flames still there. They were all dancing with flints, and the flowing flames drew arcs of fire in the air, just like playing with bolides at a Spring Festival temple fair.

vaudeville troupe.

This group of cavalry shouted loudly, and the fireballs in their hands were dancing in a dazzling way. As soon as the archers put the second wave of arrows on their bows, this group of people had already rushed forward.

The spearman immediately raised the spear that came out of the gap in the shield, trying to break the legs of the horse that stepped on and pierce the lungs of the horse that hit it.

But this group of cavalrymen, who looked like a circus team, suddenly turned around half a meter away from the spear and shield formation, and the bolide shot out of their hands.

Two bolides pulled by a string can fly a long distance if they are suddenly released.

Before anyone could react, the bolides lined up and smashed down with a "bang bang bang bang"!

When the bolide hits the ground, you can still hear the crisp sound of the earthenware jar falling to the ground and shattering.

The stifling smell of tung oil spread everywhere as the bolide landed, and the flames of the bolide, which were originally the size of a baby's head, immediately flowed along the ground like water.

Only then did everyone realize that this group of cavalrymen actually filled a jar with tung oil, lit it on fire and threw it over!

Some people screamed and put out the fire, while others shouted: "Fire arrows!"

However, as the arrows fell, the person who had thrown the bolide had long since disappeared.

Just as the rain of arrows subsided, another group of cavalry rushed up, holding something in their hands, but there was no firelight.

They still used the same old trick, throwing them and running away. The archer's arrows could not land on them at all.

The strong smell of alcohol and oil spread out, and when it caught some sparks, it started burning brightly. The entire rear army suddenly burst into flames and became a mess.

But the people on the other side obviously had no intention of giving up, and were "sending things" to this side one after another.

As the fire spread, Li Dingshan's rear army's defense line facing the cavalry quickly collapsed. Another group of cavalry rushed out from nowhere and rushed directly into the army that had been disorganized by the fire.

A group of cavalrymen dancing with jars followed behind them, "sending" the things in their hands deeper.

These people were not willing to fight. After a wave of fighting, they quickly retreated. The archers could hardly even shoot down a horse hair!

Li Dingshan's rear army was forced to retreat steadily by this elusive cavalry, and soon the fire approached the central army.

Li Dingshan was so angry at this sudden turn of events that he blushed and thickened his neck: "Abandon the shield! Attack!"

With the opponent's guerrilla approach, it is impossible to defeat them simply by sticking to it. On the contrary, they themselves will be driven into desperation by the opponent's fire attacks one after another!

There is no use in defending now. Even under such a fire, the rope is of no use. The only option is to attack and use the human sea tactic to strike.

He didn't believe it, this group of people was really endless!

After receiving the order, the soldiers switched from defense to attack and headed towards the rear to kill.

But the cavalrymen who had previously charged and fought began to follow them in detours, moving in and out of the fire, sending more tile jars into Li Dingshan's army.

Without the defense of the spear and shield formation, the cavalry was in an operation mode where one group of people covered and fought, and the other group sent the fire line farther. In just half an hour, the fire reached Li Dingshan's central army!

Li Dingshan was furious and ordered the central and rear troops to besiege the cavalry and block their retreat. At the same time, he urged the front army to speed up the attack on the city and quickly open the city gate passage so that the army could retreat into the city and avoid the increasingly fierce attacks outside the city.

of fire.

Under the siege of Li Dingshan's army, the cavalry who had been rushing back and forth were left behind and fell into a fight.

The cavalry began to suffer casualties, but the casualties of Li Dingshan's army were obviously more serious.

Just when the two teams of cavalry were engaged in a fierce battle, suddenly behind Li Dingshan, in the direction of the Zhuque Gate Tower, there was another roar of arrows!

Forced by the fire to move closer to the Zhuque Gate, Li Dingshan's army was immediately enveloped in a hail of arrows. Even because the battle on the top of the Zhuque Gate was already engulfed in a fierce battle, the people below the city were completely unprepared.

Arrows rained down, and there was a roar!

Li Dingshan was shocked, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the top of the Zhuque Gate tower through the gap between the shield walls.

The deadly battle on the city tower was still going on, but his men were firmly restricted to the edge of the city wall and could not go any further!

Behind the wall of melee, many archers appeared at some point, shooting every arrow without stopping.

There is no unified command, and the next arrow is released when the string is empty. The uneven drawing speed of the bow creates a continuous rain of arrows with no gaps at all!

The cavalry that had been besieged earlier had already taken advantage of the commotion to break through the defenses, rushed into the fire, and disappeared.

The moon sets over the west mountain, and a white fish belly appears on the horizon. Only then does the rain of arrows stop.

The archers on the city wall had their quivers empty, so they abandoned their bows and drew their swords without hesitation, and fought with the enemies who rushed up the city wall.

The fire under the city also gradually dissipated, but at this time, more than half of the 40,000 troops led by Li Dingshan were consumed by arrows and fire, but they still could not capture the Suzaku Gate.

Li Dingshan's eyes turned red with anger, but before he could reorganize his army, the cavalry that had disappeared came back with great force!

The cavalry is fast and powerful. It rushes into the army. It is like entering an uninhabited land. With a sweep of swords, guns, swords and halberds, it kills a large number of people!

Some people even had their heads flying out of their necks before they could recover from the hail of arrows and the smoke from the fire.

The cavalry rushed in quickly, not like the previous guerrillas on the periphery who gradually compressed the living space of Li Dingshan's army, but like a sharp blade, it penetrated directly into the interior of Li Dingshan's army!

Li Dingshan's army, which had been disrupted for a long time, was completely unable to resist the charge of this overwhelming cavalry.

However, in a moment, the cavalry regiment, which had been showing no signs of dissatisfaction before, came to Li Dingshan.

Li Dingshan swung out a spear and stabbed a cavalryman who was about to rush in front of him. He reached out and quickly grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over, and saw a silver spear stabbing him!
