I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Although the rain of arrows shot from longbows did not cause serious casualties to the enemy, many soldiers were still pierced through the bodies by the sharp arrows and fell to the ground.

The soldier lying on the ground did not receive a moment's mercy from his comrades. The enemy soldiers trampled over their companions' bodies without hesitation and continued to advance towards the city wall.

The vanguard soldiers have already stepped onto the dry riverbed. The sound of their heavy footsteps echoes. Even Fang Yi, who is on the top of a small hill, can hear them clearly, and his heart can't help but tighten.

Although he carefully buried the bamboo poles deep in the ground and made sure that they would remain stable even if they were trampled on by a lot of people, his heart still beat faster when he saw so many enemy troops crossing the river.

If the bamboo poles were damaged or accidentally discovered by the enemy, his carefully planned surprise attack would be in vain.

Just when Fang Yi was getting anxious about this, the enemy troops who were halfway across the river suddenly stopped, which made him feel depressed.

Has it been discovered?

If the fuel hidden at the bottom of the river leaked out, his carefully planned fire attack would fail, and all that would be left for him would be a desperate fight to the death.

Now that we are outside the city, returning to the city wall to fight the enemy is a luxury. The South Gate is under fierce attack and it is impossible to return by the original route.

Change the route to other city gates? Although there is no fighting at the East Gate, it is also heavily fortified and the way back is uncertain.

Although the enemy attacked the city with all their might, they still had heavy troops stationed in the camp to guard food and supplies.

If Fang Yiruo made a desperate rush to the supply camp, he would not only have to consider the rapid return of the enemy troops attacking the city from the front line, but also the dense guards left behind would be enough to annihilate all fifty brave warriors in a rain of arrows before they got close.

However, Fang Yi could not sit idly by and watch his comrades fighting alone on the city wall.

Just as he was about to stand up and go to battle, he was held tightly back by a personal soldier beside him.

"Captain, look! The enemy seems to be bluffing."

Fang Yi looked up and saw that the enemy army paused in the middle of the river. The shield soldiers stepped forward and erected an indestructible shield wall, while the archers continuously shot upwards at the city wall.

After three rounds of arrow rain, they slowly advanced a few steps and fired another volley. The counterattacks from the city walls were mostly blocked by shields, and the enemy archers were so numerous that even shooting at an elevated angle caused considerable losses to our army.

Fang Yi felt somewhat relieved when he saw this scene. It was obvious that the enemy was just setting up a false formation and had not noticed the trap in the river.

But worries followed. The enemy's siege strategy today is very different from the past. There must be a trick behind the delaying tactics.

At the same time, on the city wall, Fang Bo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"A bluff?"

His gaze turned to the enemy's rear.

Given the enemy's overwhelming strength, the wisest move would be to storm the city. Once a gap is opened, capturing the city will be just around the corner.

But now, the enemy launched a feint attack.

Fang Bo, a veteran of many battles, keenly realized that the enemy must have a conspiracy behind this move.

After observing for a moment, although he seemed calm on the surface, Fang Bo's alertness grew day by day.

He knew very well that he could not sit there and wait for death. Once the enemy took the initiative, the situation would be irreversible.

We must create a good opportunity for Fang Yi!

Fang Bo suddenly waved his hand and issued an order: "Pour fuel on the city wall!"

Following Fang Bo's order, the strong men on the city wall carried huge barrels of fuel and poured them down like black ambergris, rushing straight to the city.

Daishan, who was deep in the military camp, saw this scene and his brows furrowed.

"Find out what tricks the enemy used and what they poured down from the city walls."

Not long after, a soldier hurried back to report:

"Report to the prince, judging from the unique smell, the enemy threw out strong fuel oil."

"Fuel?" Chu Mingsheng, who was standing by, heard this and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Are you planning to use fire to prevent our troops from climbing the city wall? You are really overestimating your own abilities!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his arm and gave a decisive order: "Immediately order the archers to switch to rockets and ignite the fuel."

Then, he turned to the general beside him and said in a deep voice: "When the rockets ignite the fuel and the black smoke covers the sky, you will lead your troops to quickly climb the wall and seize the city wall in one fell swoop!"

After saying this, he looked down at the city wall with a hint of contempt on his lips.

"Such a crude fire attack technique, it seems that Fang Yi is just a name in vain."

Ever since he learned that the commander in the city might be Fang Yi, Dai Shan’s dream now is to win once!

As soon as Chu Mingsheng gave the order, hundreds of rockets whizzed out from the enemy camp like a meteor shower and hit the city wall directly.

With a loud bang, the fuel at the foot of the city wall suddenly burst into flames. The flames shot up into the sky, and billowing black smoke swept towards the city wall like a raging wave.

"Get some water to soak the sack, put on the clothes, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and get ready!"

Daishan commanded calmly.

"When the fire starts, the enemy's arrows will be useless. When the fire dies down, follow me and charge!"

As the fuel was ignited, the enemy generals roared in anger. At the same time, the enemy soldiers raced against time to prepare siege supplies.

However, the defenders on the city wall were prepared for the worst. When the fire broke out, they quickly brought water to try to put out the flames.

Unexpectedly, pouring water on the fire not only failed to contain the fire, but made the flames burn even more vigorously, and the black smoke became thicker and thicker, almost blocking out the sun.

Dai Shan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Fang Yi's move is really stupid! Not only is the fire attack plan crude, but now he is using water to put out the fire, which is ridiculous. When I capture him one day, I will tell him that mud and sand should be used to extinguish the flames of fire oil."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jurchen generals burst into laughter and everyone looked towards the city wall, their eyes full of contempt and disdain.

……

As the fuel in the river started to burn fiercely, Fang Yi on the top of the hill suddenly began to breathe rapidly and his heart beat like a drum. He knew that the bell of the decisive battle was ringing in his ears.

Witnessing the raging fire being hastily put out by the enemy with wet mud, and the enemy army advancing towards the city wall with unstoppable force, Da Niu, who was standing aside, looked anxious and turned his eyes eagerly to Fang Yi.

"Captain Fang, the enemy is attacking the city fiercely. Centurion Fang Bo and his men may not be able to hold out for long. When should we act?"

Fang Yi heard this, took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Wait!"

His eyes were fixed on the city gate, as if trying to see through the coming storm.

The enemy used shields as spears, and continued to move forward, resisting the rain of arrows and approaching the foot of the city wall. At the same time, the enemy archers in the back row began to pour arrows on the city wall, trying to suppress the long-range firepower on the city wall. Under the suppression of the dense rain of arrows, the longbows of the archers on the city wall seemed powerless and could not effectively kill the enemies under the city. Taking advantage of this gap, the enemy quickly set up ladders on the edge of the city wall.

"Soft shield protection, start climbing!"

"Aim at the enemy on the ladder and throw the boulder!"

As the commander's command cut through the sky, the guards on the city wall put their bows and arrows behind their backs, raised their hands to hold the huge stones that had been prepared on the side, and smashed them down fiercely.

Snap...ah...

As the huge rocks hit hard, the wailing sound once again tore through the air under the city wall.

The enemy soldiers on the ladders were hit by the boulders and fell down screaming. Although the soft shields could resist the attack of short arrows, they were useless in front of the heavy stones.

The crisp sound of breaking bones came one after another. In just a moment, hundreds of enemy soldiers died under the huge rocks.
