I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

"Assemble! Assemble!"

"The enemy is approaching. Quickly gather at your respective defense areas and get your weapons ready!"

"Check the shells again!"

"Calculate the distance carefully. The Shenji Battalion will fight the first battle and fire the first artillery at the enemy!"

There were openings for artillery firing reserved on the wall of the village, and the artillery pieces had already been prepared to deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

Shen Changgong also woke up from his sleep. Gongsun Wan'er was still drowsy, so Shen Changgong patted her butt and let her continue sleeping.

As long as I am here, the enemy can't get in.

The 150,000 enemy infantrymen who were marching quickly without any baggage were going to attack their own camp which consisted of 100,000 infantrymen, 50,000 cavalrymen and was guarded by the Shenji Camp. If the enemy could break through the camp, Shen Changgong would be able to kill himself by hitting himself with a piece of tofu.

With the help of his guards, he put on his armor, walked outside, stood on the platform, and looked towards the south with a telescope.

Not long after, densely packed torches appeared in the south, heading towards this side.

After entering the area two miles from the camp, the soldiers changed from walking to running and launched a charge.

The two armies didn't say much and started fighting right away.

The Shenji Battalion fired first.

Boom boom boom!

Bursts of artillery fire were heard, landing on the Wei army, blowing large numbers of them to the ground.

But the other Wei troops were not afraid and continued to charge towards the main camp in a mighty manner.

Cao Xiang gave the order, and the entire army surrounded the camp on three sides and attacked the enemy fiercely, making sure to break through the camp.

The only baggage of the Wei army was a small number of ladders. They rushed forward carrying the ladders and braving the artillery fire. Although they suffered many casualties, they soon rushed within the range of the camp's arrows.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

The archer commanders of each legion roared loudly.

Waves of arrows were shot out from the camp, landing densely on the heads of the Wei army and knocking down a large number of enemies.

The musketeers of the Shenji Camp also fired through the gaps in the village wall, shooting down rows of enemies.

The entire military camp turned into a war machine full of fangs, pouring firepower on the enemies outside. Before the Wei army reached the wall of the camp, they had suffered heavy losses and left behind a large number of corpses.

The Wei army's charging formation was torn open by the intensive attacks, and only scattered Wei soldiers rushed to the edge of the village wall and set up ladders to climb up.

The Yan soldiers standing on the wall thrust forward with their spears, stabbing the incoming Wei soldiers back one by one.

This scene not only happened on the southern wall, but also on the east and west sides.

Yu Huatian sat in the center of the army, standing with Shen Changgong, constantly deploying the soldiers of the Yan army, asking them to push forward and attack the enemy.

The Yan army had a layer of protection behind the village wall, and they could calmly attack outside through the gaps between the walls.

There were cannons, musketeers and spearmen on the inside of the wall, attacking the enemies outside through the wall. There were also soldiers on the wall, stabbing down the enemies who climbed up one by one.

The archers of the Wei army were also shooting arrows at the wall of the village. From time to time, soldiers of the Yan army were shot and fell to the ground, falling into the wall and were quickly pulled to the rear for treatment.

Yu Huatian took a telescope, looked at the battlefield through the fire on the wall, and said,

"Your Majesty, the enemy's forces have not yet fully arrived. When the soldiers behind begin to attack, their defensive formation will no longer exist. At that time, we can let the Zhennan Army quietly exit from the north gate and directly attack the enemy's commander.

Once their rear is in disarray, it will be easier for us to attack from the front."

"You said, wait a little longer."

Shen Changgong nodded.

Hearing this, Zhang Han could only sigh helplessly and stand aside, waiting for orders.

Among the Wei army, a team of people rushed towards the Yan army with weapons in hand. The ten of them formed a sharp arrow formation, protecting one of them in the middle, and then rushed forward madly.

They ran so fast that the Yan army's artillery failed to hit them, but the arrow formation directly killed several of them.

Seeing this, the remaining people roared and continued to form a formation, protecting the man in the middle and continuing to rush forward.

They rushed to within a dozen steps of the Yan army camp, and the musketeers of the Shenji Camp opened fire on them, killing all those protecting them in front.

In this way, the Wei soldier who was protected in the middle was exposed.

He was not holding a weapon, but was holding a jar.

"Oh no, it's kerosene! Smash that jar!"

A soldier from the Shenji Battalion of the Yan army shouted and quickly loaded ammunition.

His other teammates were faster than him. After reloading, they immediately aimed at the Wei soldier and fired.

boom!

The shot was fired, but at this moment, the Wei soldier also threw the kerosene jar in his hand heavily out.

Then, the Wei army soldier was also shot and fell to the ground.

The kerosene jar hit the wall of the village with a bang, and the pungent kerosene splashed all over the people behind it.

The Wei soldier fell to the ground and picked up a burning torch. He didn't know it was dropped by his comrade before he died. After picking it up, he threw it hard towards the wall of the Yan army camp.

Kerosene ignites as soon as it comes into contact with fire. In an instant, a raging fire broke out on that section of the village wall. The kerosene on several soldiers' bodies was also ignited, and they fell backwards wailing in pain.

"Hurry up and save people!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

The crowd shouted and used their clothes to whip the flames off the soldiers.

Because of the fire, this section of the village wall was temporarily left without defense.

The Wei army generals saw this scene with sharp eyes, seized the opportunity, and immediately dispatched the main force to charge in that direction.

"Rush! Crash the wall over there and break the camp! Charge in and kill all the Yan bandits!"

The general roared and personally led the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp to charge forward.

Along the way, facing artillery and arrow arrays, it was natural that there were casualties.

At this moment, Wang Qian, the general of the Tianyu Army, rushed to the place where the fire broke out, ordered his men to pull the burning soldiers aside, and led the main force to hold on here.

Wang Qian was a veteran general. When he was a member of the Kun Army, he had once been an envoy to the Yan Army with Ruan Weiba.

He reacted very quickly and shouted immediately,

"Go and remove all the mortise and tenon joints on this section of the wall and push it outwards, quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the Yan army soldiers rushed forward, some smashing with hammers and some chopping with knives.

The village wall is pieced together section by section, and the mortise and tenon joints in the middle are relatively fragile. If the mortise and tenon joints are removed, the village wall can be pushed down.

The walls of the village are made of wood. If they are not knocked down, the walls of the neighboring villages will be set on fire.

Wang Qian cut off his arm to survive and pushed down this section of the wall himself, thus preventing the walls on both sides from being damaged.

The wall of the village collapsed and a large group of Wei troops rushed over.

"Form a formation, hold on, and keep the enemy outside!"

Wang Qian stood at the gap in the village wall, waving a big knife and roaring.
