The fire lasted for about six hours. During this time, not only was the fire not controlled in time, but it also showed signs of spreading to the outside of the food warehouse. In the end, the fire was able to stop mostly because the food warehouses of the Mexican NPC army could not be burned anymore.
In other words, this fire was not saved by the Mexican NPC army. It was burned out naturally. If one had to say what role the NPC army played in the fire, they only cleared the flammable objects around them and did not let the fire spread endlessly.
Such a huge fire made Yang Rui's soldiers in Agua La Paz feel their blood boil and their jaws drop in shock!
Especially since the place where the fire burned was where the enemy's provisions were stored. Almost everyone knew the significance of this fire. Everyone knew the importance of provisions in a war. Without provisions, it could be said that the enemy outside the city had already lost by more than half.
At the same time, all the defenders in the city were once again in awe of Yang Rui who created this fire. Several generals, including Guo Jia and Xu You, were the same. Almost all of them were in awe of Yang Rui's strange ideas and methods.
Yang Rui's magic spread throughout the entire city of Aguarabas …
…
In fact, during the time when the fire lasted, the Mexican NPC army's formation was chaotic and their morale fluctuated. It was also the time when they were at their weakest. If Yang Rui's troops took the opportunity to go out of the city and attack, they would definitely be able to achieve some results.
However, Yang Rui did not order his troops to go out of the city. The food of the Mexican NPC army was burned by Yang Rui. After that, the city of Aguarabas would have to face a desperate counterattack. Before the counterattack completely failed, it was almost inevitable that they would struggle.
If they could take down the city of Aguarabas … All the passive situations that the Mexican NPC army faced would no longer be a problem. Not only would they successfully complete the counterattack mission, but they would also be able to plunder food and other supplies from the city.
Even if they could not take down the city of Aguarabas, there was not much difference. At most, the defeat would be more tragic.
It should be known that at this time, even if the Mexican NPC army retreated immediately, due to the lack of supplies, they might not be able to hold on for long. Or, they might not be able to retreat far enough due to the lack of supplies.
It was difficult to gather supplies for millions of soldiers within a few days of travel around the city of Aguarabas. Before the attack on the city of Aguarabas, Yang Rui had almost wiped out the Mexican NPC army around the city.
As such, it was almost inevitable for the Mexican NPCs to make a final stand against the enemy!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh …
…
"Kill!
… "
"…"
"Kill"
The rain of arrows was several times more ferocious than the previous attacks, surging towards the city of Aguarabas from all directions. Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Counterattack Division swarmed towards the city of Aguarabas.
The reality was just as Yang Rui and the others had expected. After the Mexican NPC army's supplies were burned by Yang Rui, only one night had passed. Before dawn the next day, the Mexican NPC army gathered in front of the city of Aguarabas again. They launched the fiercest attack on the city since the start.
Since Yang Rui and the others were able to predict the possible actions of the counterattack army in advance, they had to be prepared. Of course, they were prepared for this.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh …
… "
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh …
… "
Boom! Boom! Boom …
… "
"…"
… "
Faced with the desperate attacks of the Mexican NPC army, Yang Rui's Archers, Javelin Throwers, and 40 large Cannons on the city walls of Aguarabas were all fired up. At the same time, the Four Guardians Maze and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation were all activated, dealing with the attacks of the Mexican NPC army.
This was especially true for the Eight Gates Golden Locks Formation. The number of people that surged into it did not have much of an impact. Moreover, the denser the people were, the more the formation's might could be unleashed. It could compress a large number of enemies even more without leaving a trace, and the efficiency of the attack would be higher.
Even so, with the Mexican NPC army giving their all and not caring about their own lives, the attack on the city of Aguarabas was extremely tragic. The entire city was like a high-speed meat grinder!
Within four hours of the morning, the number of Mexican NPC soldiers killed by Yang Rui's army had reached 200,000. This number was roughly calculated by Yang Rui through the increment of the mission points.
On the other hand, Yang Rui's forces had suffered great losses as well. Just the number of Yellow Turban Warriors that Yang Rui had sent to the outer perimeter of the Eight Gates Formation in Aguarabas for direct confrontation had exceeded 10000, and this was under the condition that the enemy could barely sense them and could not effectively attack them.
At first, Yang Rui did not intend to send in troops to fight the Mexican NPC army in close combat. However, the permanent structure of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation in the city of Aguarabas was under too much pressure, and it was damaged. Under such circumstances, Yang Rui sent in the Yellow Turban Soldiers and the Formation Breaker Soldiers to hold it off.
The Formation Breaker Soldiers had the attribute of sharing life and death with each other. It was difficult to effectively threaten their lives if it was not a fatal blow. The number of casualties was relatively low, only a few hundred. However, the loss of the Yellow Turban Soldiers was inevitable.
The only bargaining chip that Yang Rui had added was the new porous wooden box "Aerial Bomb" that he had made. In the previous night, Yang Rui had ordered the carpenters in the Castle in the Sky to make more than 2000 of these wooden boxes.
When the attack on the city below was in full swing, Yang Rui repeatedly sent out the Flame Falcon flying pet to drop these wooden boxes around the city of Aguarabas. Not only did it cause a lot of obstruction to the Mexican NPC army, but it also burned the corpses that had piled up into mountains around the city wall, basically eliminating the possibility of hand-to-hand combat on the city wall.
The flammable wooden boxes might not have much lethality when dropped on flat ground, but once the corpses around the city were ignited, the fire burned fiercely and eventually connected into a wall of fire that surrounded the city of Aguarabas!
If it were not for the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation's shielding effect against the flames to a certain extent, Yang Rui's garrison on the city wall would not be able to stand because of the fire, and the Mexican NPC army outside the city could not cross over at all because of this wall of fire.
A large part of the reason why the Mexican NPC army stopped attacking was because of the appearance of this wall of fire. Floating astronomy.
