Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After dawn the next day, the Eastern Yan army deployed its troops and surrounded the city on three sides.

Only in the west, where there was a large river, it was impossible to deploy troops.

After getting rid of the only master in the city and those immortal disciples, Lu Xunhuan could safely let the army surround Kyoto City.

Outside the city, there was a huge square formation with catapults standing in all directions.

Behind the catapults, the archers and infantry were ready for battle.

Lu Xunhuan did not bring any cavalry with him this time.

Cavalry is good for field battles.

But this time he came mainly to attack the city, and cavalry was not very useful, so he did not bring them, and instead brought a large number of archers.

After the soldiers were in position, they surrounded the city in the front, while many soldiers in the back were coming and going, constantly carrying stones.

Next to each catapult, there were piles of stones.

The Sixth Prince stood on the city wall and watched for a while, but he had no strategy to repel the enemy in his mind.

Now the mountains and rivers are broken, the situation is hopeless, and this is the only city left in the entire Zhou Kingdom.

But he would never surrender.

Let Dong Yan attack. With its elite guards and cavalry battalion, even if the city is finally broken, the Dong Yan people will suffer heavy casualties.

An hour later, Lu Xunhuan gave the order to smash it.

Then, outside the city, catapults began roaring in three directions.

Above the sky, stones fell like rain.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom held up their huge shields and fought hard, waiting for the fierce charge after the enemy threw stones.

But outside the city, Dong Yan's catapults kept smashing down the city.

Half an hour... one hour... two hours...

The stones outside the city are inexhaustible and can be used endlessly.

On the city wall, the soldiers fought hard. Stones hit the huge shields, causing huge shocks again and again. After a long time, everyone's arms were swollen.

But the stones flying from the sky continued to fall without stopping, and the soldiers were cursing.

Each giant shield has endured hundreds or even thousands of heavy impacts.

After being hit repeatedly, some shields were finally broken and could no longer protect the soldiers in the rear and the various combat supplies piled on the city walls.

The kerosene barrel was broken and the oil was spilled all over the floor.

The pile of arrows at the rear was knocked over, and the arrows were scattered everywhere.

Lu Xunhuan rode on the horse and watched quietly.

In his eyes, many shields on the city wall were smashed, but after a while, new shields were replaced.

After a while, another shield was broken.

Anyway, this cycle repeats itself over and over again. The old shield is broken and the new shield is put in place, and there are always many gaps in the defense line on the city wall.

It lasted for three full hours, from early morning to afternoon.

On the city wall, the soldiers were tired and hungry, but they didn't even have time to eat.

At this time, Lu Xunhuan ordered: "Switch to fireball."

The flag signal soldiers waved flags of different colors, passing them one by one, and outside the three city walls, everyone received the signal to throw fireballs.

Then, the stones turned into fireballs, covering the sky and earth, rushing towards the city wall, hitting the shield and exploding with a loud bang.

Amidst the flying sparks, the kerosene that was spread all over the ground behind them was ignited, and a large number of scattered arrows were set on fire.

Soon, flames were everywhere on the three sides of the city wall.

The city wall was in chaos. The soldiers had to resist the fireballs and put out the fire in a hurry.

In addition, many soldiers were injured and had to be evacuated, and the army was almost on the verge of collapse.

After each catapult threw ten fireballs, Lu Xunhuan ordered them to switch to throwing stones.

For the entire day, the Eastern Yan army kept throwing stones but did not even charge once.

The catapults were so overworked that one third of them were broken.

At dusk, Lu Xunhuan finally gave the order to stop throwing stones.

The soldiers who were besieging the city on three sides all retreated three miles and set up camp on the spot, waiting to attack again tomorrow.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Zhou State finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the enemy had retreated several miles and it seemed that they would not attack again today.

But the enemy attacked for a whole day, causing considerable casualties to the soldiers defending the city.

According to statistics, 6,000 soldiers were killed and 18,000 soldiers were injured.

If this continues every day, the enemy won't have to storm the city. They can just attack it for ten days or half a month to consume all the defenders in the city.

Of course, no one wants this passive situation to continue.

If we continue like this, and fail to kill even a single enemy, wouldn't everyone's sacrifice be in vain?

Outside the city, after the army retreated three miles, Lu Xunhuan called a group of generals and made some arrangements.

Then, everyone left and went their separate ways.

On the city wall, the fire had been put out. The Sixth Prince stood on the wall, watching the enemy situation.

Although it was dark, he could still see clearly because of the bright torches in the Dongyan camp outside the city on three sides.

Last night, the immortal disciples' raid on the enemy camp failed. Only two immortal disciples escaped with injuries, but they brought back important intelligence.

That is, there are murderous intentions hidden behind the wooden wall of the Eastern Yan people, and we must absolutely not send a large army to attack.

Last time, the Eastern Yan army was only outside the east city gate, with wooden walls lined up in a row to protect the rear camp tightly.

But today, the Eastern Yan army is besieging the city on three sides and has to set up camp in three directions at the same time. The wooden wall that hides murderous intentions seems not enough.

The wooden walls on the east and north sides are still intact, but on the south side, in front of the Dongyan camp, there is a long section without a wooden wall.

After that, every once in a while, you could see soldiers from Eastern Yan carrying new wooden walls to fill the gaps.

It seems that there are indeed not enough wooden walls, and the people of Dongyan are cutting down trees to make wooden walls.

He looked for a while, then gave an order for all members of the Cavalry Battalion to mount their horses and go out of the South Gate.

Charge into the enemy camp from the area where there is no wooden wall blocking the view, and try to annihilate part of the enemy troops outside the south gate.

He also observed during the day and found that the Eastern Yan people only had infantry and archers, but no cavalry.

If we take advantage of the Eastern Yan people's unpreparedness and launch a sudden and unexpected attack, they will not be able to organize an effective counterattack in the chaos. Cavalry is the nemesis of infantry and archers.

Moreover, the war horses of the Cavalry Battalion are all equipped with armor, which can reduce casualties during the charge.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion were all wearing armor, so the threat from the enemy's arrows was much smaller.

Go ahead and massacre the people of Dongyan.

After the order was given, the Cavalry Battalion quickly assembled.

Half an hour later, the south city gate suddenly opened, and nearly 50,000 soldiers from the Cavalry Battalion rushed out like a whirlwind, heading straight for the big gap in the Dongyan camp where there was no wooden wall.

Their appearance immediately caused panic among the Dongyan soldiers in the camp, and they shot arrows indiscriminately.

But how could the unorganized scattered arrows stop this majestic iron army?

The sound of horse hooves is as fast as meteors.

The cavalry arrived at a distance of more than three miles in a short time and broke into the camp of the Dong Yan people with great momentum.

The soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion rode their horses freely in the Eastern Yan camp.

But after they rushed in and ran for a while in depth and breadth, they destroyed many tents but failed to find too many Dong Yan soldiers.

As a result, the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion were a little confused.

At this time, nearly 50,000 cavalrymen had already penetrated deep into the enemy camp.

On the periphery, soldiers from Eastern Yan appeared, silently lifting wooden walls and surrounding the area.

Finally, a soldier from the Cavalry Battalion noticed something was wrong and hurriedly warned: "There's an ambush... Move quickly..."

With a whoosh, an arrow flew through the air in the darkness and hit his throat.

Then, countless Dongyan archers appeared from nowhere all around, hiding behind the wooden walls and shooting wildly with their bows.

Moreover, everyone shot their arrows at the horse's legs first.

For a moment, the horse jumped wildly and the people fell to the ground.

Soldiers from the Cavalry Battalion rode their horses and tried to break out of the encirclement.

But the wooden walls quickly closed in on them, trapping them in the center, leaving them with no chance of escaping.

A moment later, countless torches were thrown in and caught fire as soon as they hit the ground.

Only then did everyone realize that there were already countless piles of hay on the ground.

In addition, many of the tents that had been chopped to pieces were set on fire, and the flames quickly shot up into the sky.

The iron armor on the soldiers immediately became a fatal weakness under the enemy's fire attack.

In a blink of an eye, it became too hot to wear, and everyone struggled to take it off.

But without the armor, they could no longer stop the enemy's arrows.

The soldiers were in despair, and one horse after another was shot down and one soldier after another was shot dead.

On the city wall, the Sixth Prince looked at the flames rising to the sky in the south.

In the firelight, the horses and soldiers were in chaos.

He listened to the mournful neighing of war horses and watched the soldiers running around like men on fire, struggling and howling in despair.

His legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.

Who is that general named Lu from Dongyan, and why is he so powerful?
