Feng Lingtian had already seen the arrival of the Chu army from the watchtower. When he saw that Mo Li had begun to attack the city, he coldly shouted, "Archers, fire!"
With his command, a dense rain of arrows shot towards the Chu army. At the same time, the Chu army had already fired their own volley of arrows.
The huge rain of arrows shot towards each other from both sides. "Ah, ah, ah." The sounds of soldiers from both sides being hit could be heard everywhere!
When Chu Xuanchen saw this, he immediately said, "Catapults, quickly fire!"
In a flash, the brave Chu army had already pushed the catapults forward. In a split second, large rocks were thrown into the city by the catapults, causing the Tian Sheng army to flee in all directions. They also smashed many large holes in the city walls and houses.
When Feng Lingtian saw this, he hurriedly said, "Continue to fire arrows, fire arrows!"
This time, the Tian Sheng army hiding in the city walls lit up the fire arrows. Large batches of fire arrows shot towards the Chu army. The Chu army hurriedly used their shields to block them. At the same time, they did their best to fire arrows in retaliation.
However, the enemy's rain of arrows was too much. Many of the Chu army were injured.
Chu Xuanchen immediately ordered the soldiers to throw large stones that had been burned with oil and ignited into the city. As soon as the stones were thrown into the air, bursts of kerosene fell from the sky and landed on the Tiansheng Army, causing them to scream miserably and cover their heads to hide.
Those rocks also smashed into the houses and walls in the city. In an instant, the houses were set on fire and the Tian Sheng army at the side were splashed with kerosene.
Feng Lingtian said, "Quick, we also use the catapults to throw rocks at them!"
It was a pity that the ground below was flat. When the Tian Sheng army threw rocks, the Chu army scattered in all directions. Those rocks only hit a few people.
Chu Xuanchen sneered and said, "Put the kerosene into the jars, increase the power, continue to throw!"
When he finished speaking, the soldier beside him coldly waved a flag. The soldiers in the distance saw the signal and hurriedly changed the rocks into jars.
When those jars filled with kerosene were thrown into the city, they instantly smashed into the city walls and gave off a violent explosion!
The moment the jar exploded, oil and debris splattered everywhere, sending the nearby archers flying. Some of them fell to the bottom of the city walls, bleeding profusely.
Chu Xuanchen saw that many of the enemy troops on the city gate tower had been killed by the explosion and the city gate tower was temporarily empty. Thereupon he said, "Prepare the cloud ladders, attack the city immediately!"
At his command, the soldiers beside him waved their flags.
When the soldiers in the distance saw the signal, they hurriedly pushed the ladder carts towards the city gate.
Taking advantage of the fact that Tian Sheng's army had suffered heavy casualties and had not had time to replenish their men, they had quickly placed the scaling ladders on top of the city walls and began to climb up.
Seeing this, Feng Ling Tian hurriedly said, "Quickly change people up, quickly, don't let them attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a new batch of soldiers stepped forward and took over the position of the previous batch of soldiers.
Once the Tian Sheng army stood on the city gate tower, they hurriedly picked up rocks and threw them down. As the rocks fell, the first batch of Chu soldiers immediately tumbled down.
However, the Chu army was not afraid at all. After the first batch was thrown down, they continued to replace them and continued to climb up without any regard for their lives.
The Tian Sheng army used fire attacks, smoke, and arrows to stop the Chu army from advancing. In an instant, large rocks fell down and kerosene wreaked havoc on the scene. Thick smoke billowed and lingered.
Because the Tian Sheng army was in a defensive position, it was easier for them to defend the city than to attack it. Therefore, the Chu army quickly fell into a disadvantage.
One by one, the Chu soldiers were smashed down the city gate tower by the Tian Sheng army. The Chu army suffered heavy casualties and the scene was tragic.
Seeing this, Chu Xuanchen's eyes turned red. He knew that the city gate was extremely difficult to attack.
