The falling of the huge rock caused a series of casualties among the enemy below the city.

"Three people in a group, raise your shield to block the rocks!"

The enemy's shouts resounded through the sky, and three people formed a team, holding up their huge shields high.

Boom boom boom...

The boulder fell again, colliding with the shield, making a heart-shaking noise. The soldiers under the shields held on desperately, and every impact of the boulder filled their chests with a suffocating feeling.

puff...

Finally, one of the shield soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell down limply.

As some fell, new enemy soldiers filled the vacancy, but amid the roar, dozens of enemy soldiers had already died from the shock.

However, the move was effective.

With the shield soldiers' resistance, the damage caused by the boulders to the enemy troops gathered under the city walls was greatly reduced.

Dozens of ladders were destroyed and hundreds of people fell from the broken ladders and died.

Daishan witnessed all this and looked at Fang Bo on the city wall with cold eyes and murderous intent.

It was this person who took Fang Yi away from him!

"Withdraw the vanguard troops and dispatch the reserve battalion to join the battle. We must behead the centurion today!"

At Daishan's command, the reserve battalion stationed in the main camp rushed towards the city wall like an arrow.

Fang Yi on the top of the mountain saw this and stood up suddenly: "The time is ripe, attack!"

The battle had already begun outside the city, but Fang Yi had not yet moved. This was exactly what he was waiting for.

Daishan had experienced countless battles and was well aware of the importance of logistics to war.

When the army was approaching, he still prudently left two thousand elite soldiers to garrison the main camp to closely guard the food and supplies on which they depended for survival.

With such heavy military guards, it would be extremely difficult to even get close to the enemy, let alone burn their food supplies.

However, the situation suddenly changed and the siege was blocked. Fang Bo commanded calmly and made the enemy pay a heavy price. Daishan also gradually came to believe that Yunzhou's strength was becoming increasingly weak, not to mention threatening his own logistics line.

Therefore, an order was issued, and the reserve battalion that was originally guarding the main camp's food and fodder was urgently transferred to the front line in an effort to capture the fortified city in one go.

This change gave Fang Yi an opportunity.

"Everyone, the time has come. Whether Yunzhou will fall to the flames of war or the city will survive and the enemy will retreat depends on this move."

As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the fifty warriors who were ready to go in front of him.

"Follow the established plan and act separately."

After he finished speaking, the fifty-one people, including Fang Yi, were divided into seventeen groups of three. They bent their backs and sneaked silently towards the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain, with Fang Yi leading the way.

At this moment, they were like ghosts in the night, and began to accurately pour the kerosene in their hands on the tents filled with enemy food and supplies.

"The outer layer of the tent must be thoroughly soaked, and the inner layer is connected with kerosene. Once the fire starts, the outer flames will flow into the core, and the battle will be resolved quickly!"

Fang Yi poured kerosene at an astonishing speed while giving orders in a hurry.

After all the kerosene in the two bamboo tubes was poured out, Fang Yi took out the flint, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"As soon as we light the fire, the rest of the baggage camp and our companions outside will also light the fire at the same time."

As he spoke, he struck the flint lightly, and the sparks that burst out instantly ignited the tent that had been soaked in kerosene. With a loud bang, flames suddenly blew up, and like a greedy beast, they rapidly devoured the surroundings.

The sea of ​​fire was raging, engulfing all the tents filled with food and fodder in an instant. Billowing black smoke rose straight into the sky, blocking out the stars and the moon.

Daishan's brows were furrowed, and sweat dripped down his resolute chin, mixing with the dust on the battlefield.

There was a barely perceptible hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but his desire for victory did not diminish in the slightest.

Daishan thought to himself that he not only had to win this battle, but also had to win beautifully, for himself and for the Jurchens behind him.

"Your Highness, please do not act rashly!"

Prince Ulta's voice was filled with anxiety, and his grip was so strong that he almost made a dent in Daishan's armor.

His eyes reflected the flames rising from the distant camp. That was the safety of their rear, but at this moment, it was like a star swallowed by the night, crumbling.

Daishan turned around suddenly, and his glance seemed to penetrate the flames of war and look directly at the camp where the blazing fire was burning.

"It's over! Food and fodder!"

These four words burst out of his mouth like a bolt from the blue, causing the faces of the surrounding soldiers to change drastically.

Food and fodder, the lifeline of nomadic people, seemed particularly fragile and deadly at this moment.

The counselor Chu Mingsheng could hardly hide the anxiety on his face at this moment.

"Your Highness, at this moment, in my humble opinion, it is better to ignore the rear and attack the city in one go! As long as we occupy the city, why worry about food and grass?"

There was a determination to fight to the bitter end in his words, as if one could smell the scent of victory.

However, Fang Yi's mind was so deep that he had already anticipated everything.

He deliberately left behind a batch of baggage in order to put Daishan in a dilemma and force the Jurchens to return to defend. In this way, the initiative on the battlefield would return to their hands.

Daishan took a deep breath, his eyes as firm as iron, and finally made a decision.

"Sir, you and I both know that it is hopeless to attack the city in a short period of time. This time, we should first stabilize the rear and then plan for the long term."

The words were spoken, leaving no room for doubt.

Under Daishan's command, the army quickly adjusted its formation and rushed towards the camp where flames were shooting up into the sky, leaving behind only a cloud of flying dust and a tense atmosphere in the air.

At the same time, on the city wall, Fang Bo caught this change through the lingering smoke.

An imperceptible smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Fang Yi, your plan is truly a stroke of genius."

Before he finished speaking, he raised his arms and shouted.

"The enemy's food and grass have been lost. It's time to counterattack! Yunzhou men, follow me out of the city and give the enemy a fatal blow!"

The gates of Yunzhou City burst open and teams of soldiers poured out like a tide. Their figures lengthened in the setting sun, and every face was filled with the flame of revenge and the desire for victory.

At this moment, defending the city turned into attacking, and a thrilling reversal battle began.

At this moment, the Jurchen tribe was suddenly pursued from behind and was panic-stricken, like a deer entering a wilderness, and lost their composure.

A trace of panic that was difficult to conceal flashed across Daishan's eyes.

"Sir! What should we do now?"

Daishan originally thought that the troops in Yunzhou City could only defend the city and did not dare to act rashly, but he did not expect the changes today.

A hint of anxiety also flashed in Chu Mingsheng's pupils.

"Your Highness, now that you have decided to retreat, do not hesitate any longer! Hesitation will only lead to trampling disasters, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Although he secretly lamented his master's hesitation, as a counselor, Chu Mingsheng resolutely took on the responsibility of leading the direction.

Just as the group was speeding up to escape, dozens of cavalrymen suddenly rushed out from the direction of their once stable base camp. Although they were few in number, in Daishan's eyes they were like messengers from the underworld, exuding an ominous aura.

Because the leader was none other than the frightening Fang Yi!
