Chapter 281

Almost at this moment.

Atop the walls of Changancheng.

Gao Yang's voice, like that of the Grim Reaper, rang out again, "Prepare!"

"Thirty degrees upward, fire!"

Another volley, flaming arrows, like burning meteors, either pierced the bodies of the Chu soldiers or ignited the alcohol on the ground, burning raging flames and hindering the Chu army's advance.

Even more miserable were the Rattan Armor soldiers and ordinary soldiers who were stained with alcohol but unfortunately hit.

Their bodies were swallowed by raging flames, as if burned by the flames of hell.

"It hurts!"

"It hurts so much!"

"Great Qian is a devil, a devil without exception!"

"Run!"

"My butt is on fire!"

Some Chu soldiers were completely terrified; they could not stop the fear from arising and wanted to withdraw.

And at this time, the Chu soldiers who had been fighting at the very front also arrived!

Large siege equipment had long been prepared and assembled by Wu Xiong and Xue Yi.

This battle to raid Changancheng was destined to be a blitzkrieg.

They quickly set up the scaling ladders, held them steady, and the soldiers behind quickly climbed up and began to siege the city.

Liu Sanji, with his rich war experience, dodged everywhere and escaped a disaster, but because of this, his figure fell behind a bit.

If it were usual, for the glory of Great Chu, he would definitely charge forward without hesitation.

But this time, he hesitated.

The tall city walls and the endless vicious means had all become his concerns.

Boom, boom, boom!

Thick logs were lifted by the Great Qian soldiers and then rolled down the scaling ladders.

The Chu soldiers who were climbing looked up and almost thought it was dark; looking again, they saw a thick log.

Their bodies were as brittle as paper, and they were smashed down heavily.

The siege battle was extremely cruel.

This was also the reason why many cities were only besieged and not attacked.

For a city like Changancheng, once it was determined to defend to the death, the cost of attacking it was too great.

Falling logs, giant stones!

All kinds of means could make them suffer heavy casualties!

But the Chu army had no choice; they had to take Changancheng as quickly as possible.

The longer it took, the more unfavorable it was for them, because Great Qian's emergency request for help meant that Great Qian's reinforcements would march toward Changancheng over time!

Liu Sanji felt his first timidity; he instinctively felt that it was impossible to take Changancheng today.

I will kill my way onto Changancheng!

But not today!

Gao Yang's expression was indifferent, forcing himself to be calm and composed.

At this time, kindness was the way to death.

A saintly heart must never be had!

"Falling logs!"

"Giant stones!"

"Wine jars!"

"Smash them hard for me!"

Following Gao Yang's order, the Great Qian soldiers and citizens on the city wall smashed the logs and giant stones they had prepared toward the scaling ladders!

Bang!

Chu soldiers fell from the scaling ladders one after another, their bodies smashing heavily on the ground, and some unlucky ones were smashed to pieces directly.

Wine jars were smashed down, alcohol spilled outside the city wall, and some Chu soldiers realized something was wrong.

But it was too late.

Lit torches fell from the walls of Changancheng, and the moment they touched the alcohol, they ignited suddenly.

Fire snakes raged, heat waves struck, and even the Chu soldiers holding the scaling ladders were terrified and withdrew one after another.

The sound of death and shrill screams echoed across the horizon.

Chu generals roared behind them.

"Those who retreat, die!"

But at this moment, the morale on the front line had already dissipated, and the momentum of the attack slowed down.

Especially near the city wall, flames were continuous, and Chu soldiers were constantly screaming.

"Fire God!"

"Great Qian has a Fire God sitting in town!"

"Whoever likes to go up, go up; I'm not going up, this is too terrifying, too terrifying."

Bursts of screams rang out, and many Chu soldiers withdrew directly.

Center camp.

"Second Princess, let's withdraw first!"

"This fire is too big a blow to the morale of the army; let's attack again when the opportunity arises."

"The Rattan Armor army has suffered heavy casualties; I fear that if we continue to fight, they will be burned out, which seriously affects our army's morale."

Chu Qingluan was very unwilling, but she also knew that the first attack had failed.

"Sound the gong and withdraw the troops!"

"After resting, continue to attack!"

Chu Qingluan gave the military order and turned to leave.

When the sound of the gong rang out, the Chu army quickly retreated like a tide.

Atop the walls of Changancheng.

The Great Qian soldiers were all excited, letting out excited shouts.

"We... we held it!"

"Great Qian, must win!"

"Great Qian, ten thousand victories!"

Some Changancheng citizens collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly.

Only by facing the cruelty of war do you know the preciousness of life.

Shangguan Wan'er watched the Chu army retreat quickly, her eyes full of disbelief.

Wu Zhao also released her clenched fists.

In the first battle of the Chu army's massive attack, Great Qian's defense was not difficult.

"Gao Yang, in this battle of Changancheng, you did a beautiful job!"

Wu Zhao's noble face was full of praise, and she looked at Gao Yang and said.

"This battle could be so easy, thanks to these strong liquors; how is this barbecue I sent to Your Majesty?"

Gao Yang looked at Wu Zhao and said.

Wu Zhao's expression was strange for a while.

Until this moment, she knew what Gao Yang meant by barbecue.

The court officials felt their scalps go numb.

But it must be said that the word barbecue is quite appropriate.

"I think it's quite good; we can have a few more times in the future."
