In just a short moment, Yan Meng's army climbed up the city wall at a point where the side defense was weakening.
Although he was stabbed to death in an instant with shouts from the defenders on the city wall, this also meant that the defense line of Da Zhao was being gradually broken, with more and more enemies climbing up.
"Your Highness, what should our army do?" came the voice of the deputy general at the side.
Xi Heng raised his hand to ask the people around him to be quiet, and looked carefully at the thick black and gray fog.
She had also encountered this kind of thick fog attack when she fought against Yan Menghuajin before.
The solution at that time was to retreat from the area covered by black fog, but there was no way to escape from the city wall.
Moreover, even if the fog is blown away by various means, black fog bombs will be thrown from below to fill the air again.
"This thing doesn't seem to have the impact of an explosion or the damage caused by fragments. It only burns and emits smoke. It must be a new thing made by changing the gunpowder ratio."
"How could a barbarian like Yan Meng come up with new technology? Or did they steal it when they attacked other small countries?"
"What should we do anyway..."
There are two fairly direct ways to abolish this tactic - either blow up the enemy's armored vehicles or directly detonate their ammunition depots.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Xi Heng could see that the black fog bombs that had caused the defenders' predicament were placed in boxes next to each tank vehicle.
Xi Heng estimated the distance, turned his right hand, and grasped a spirit stone like a magic trick.
"Using up a spirit stone, a huge fireball with a range of 100 meters can be exploded and smashed into the enemy formation."
“You just need to be close enough.”
The siege troops numbered tens of thousands, spread out over a radius of a thousand meters.
If Xi Heng wanted to hit the fireball accurately, he had to get at least 500 meters away from the vehicle.
In other words, you need to break a path through the enemy's formation.
She is able to do this as a Hua Jin warrior.
"But it feels like such a waste to spend a whole spirit stone just to use one strike to destroy the cart."
Xi Heng also wanted to use this opportunity to expand his advantage.
Yaoyao rushed over, smashed the siege equipment with a fireball, and then quickly fled away. This was really not her style.
Since we are going to charge into the enemy camp, we should directly strike at the enemy's core, which will be enough to influence the entire battle.
If she could win once with this, it would be what she wanted most.
She looked back at the cavalry lieutenant beside her and ordered, "Bring the core soldiers who accompanied me in the last fire raid on the enemy camp."
The deputy general turned around and called out the names of the soldiers one by one. A total of fifty-three elite cavalrymen lined up in a single line.
Xi Heng approached, picked up a spirit stone, chanted a spell, pinched his fingers, and once again drew fire patterns on the backs of these people's hands.
The defenders of Kezhou City in the distance were still quite tenacious. Even though they were hit by thick smoke and were at a disadvantage, the enemy was unable to actually occupy a section of the city wall.
Perhaps, it was also because after Yan Mengjun climbed up the city wall, their vision would also be obstructed by the thick fog.
Neither side could see the enemy clearly in the smoke, so naturally the Da Zhao soldiers who were already prepared to fight on the city wall were superior.
But as more and more people climb up the city walls, this balance of situation will gradually tip over.
Xi Heng didn't know when the city wall would be breached, so he could only chant the spell faster to draw fire patterns on the backs of the hands of the elite soldiers in front of him.
Gradually, a spirit stone was used up, and she drew another one on the back of her hand.
"More than fifty conventional fireballs, plus my own fire magic that consumed a whole spirit stone, and the cavalry assault... should be able to deal a considerable blow to the enemy."
After using another spirit stone, Xi Heng gained more confidence.
"Go downhill, form a bird-flying formation, and prepare to attack the chariot position from the weak point on the enemy's flank." Xi Heng waved his hand, turned around, sat on the warhorse, and swung the reins forward.
However, to attack an army of tens of thousands with only 500 cavalrymen was something her soldiers would never dare to think of.
Although he still followed Xi Heng's order to go down the hill, his movements were obviously hesitant.
Seeing this, she narrowed her eyes and said loudly:
"When a bird of prey is about to fight, it must first soar. A single charge is enough to stop the entire army - form a flying bird formation!"
The long sword at his waist was suddenly drawn out, flashing with a cold light, and the general's temperament and majesty were shaken.
The murderous intent that leaked out accidentally awakened his subordinates, and many soldiers took action and arranged their battle formations according to their types of troops.
The first to obey the order were the vanguard cavalry who had previously led her in a surprise attack and formed the head of the bird-flying formation.
Xi Heng was at the front, waiting for the formation. He ordered his deputy to hand over a smaller dark red flag of the Great Zhao. However, he did not hang it on the flagpole, but wore it directly behind him like a cloak and tied it in front of his neck.
The dark red cloth fluttered in the autumn wind, and the vertical square character "Zhao" was particularly eye-catching.
A few minutes later, the five hundred cavalrymen finally formed their battle formation.
The soldiers were extremely nervous. Xi Heng casually said a few words to boost morale. Without caring whether his soldiers took his words to heart or not, he began to plan when the vanguard cavalry would release fire.
The fireballs were released three times in total. The first one was released when breaking in to disrupt the enemy, the second one hit the center of the enemy, and the third one exploded when breaking out.
The fire magic in Xi Heng's hand was intended to directly destroy the enemy's catapult array.
Moreover, she was prepared to strike out a sword to open the door along the way.
Qi, blood and energy are already attached to the sword and can be activated at any time.
Everything was ready. The girl meditated for a moment and opened her eyes again.
Then, he pointed his sword at the enemy army that was as dense as ants.
"All troops, follow me and kill——"
After saying this briefly, Xi Heng suddenly swung the reins and urged the horse to gallop forward at the fastest speed.
“Kill, kill! Kill!”
The triangular cavalry formation in the rear shouted more fiercely than the last to boost morale.
The shouts of killing echoed in the vast wilderness, attracting a group of service soldiers on the periphery of the enemy formation hundreds of meters away to turn around.
"There seems to be some sound..."
The man rubbed his rough ears and looked back at the source of the sound.
In the misty distance at my fingertips, there seemed to be a billowing of brown-yellow smoke, which seemed out of place compared to the hazy gray-black mist surrounding the city wall.
There were bursts of sound that gradually grew stronger, like the sound of muffled thunder.
Most of the service soldiers who were busy carrying boxes of supplies around stopped to look.
Gradually, from the rising dust, many cavalrymen wearing armor, riding horses, holding guns, swords, or bows and arrows suddenly appeared and rushed towards them.
At first, the Yan Meng soldiers on the periphery thought that this group of cavalry were their elite allies. After all, the appearance of their fully armored heavy cavalry was not much different from that of this group of cavalry.
But as the distance got closer, they could feel the surging murderous power more and more, and people realized in disbelief that it was the enemy cavalry that was charging towards them.
Among them, the generals who knew about the war were even more at a loss. According to the information he had obtained, although the Great Zhao had won a victory in Qiming, it had also suffered heavy casualties and needed to rest for several days.
How could they rush here right after fighting a brutal battle?
But he didn't have time to think about it, as the cavalry formation had already collided with the enemy's external soldiers.
boom--
There were constant cries of pain and fear.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
One by one, the soldiers blocking the road were knocked away by the war horses and fell to the ground, with multiple fractures all over their bodies, constantly vomiting blood and almost dying.
The warhorse's hooves stepped down again, making a bang and splashing blood. The miscellaneous soldiers standing nearby immediately panicked and fled.
The miscellaneous soldiers outside are loose and incompetent, but the enemy's regular troops inside are not.
Hearing the shouts coming from the outside, they turned around under the orders of the leading soldiers, some put their shields in place and some took up their guns, and in a short time they formed a human wall and a shield wall.
With spears and shields raised, a dense wall of soldiers stood before them, as if ready to block the cavalry's charge.
But the next moment, the leading rider who was sprinting forward suddenly opened his left hand high, and a ball of flame gathered upwards.
Seventeen little suns that seemed to be about to illuminate the heaven and earth suddenly lit up.
Before the cavalry came into contact with the human wall and shield formation, seventeen fireballs fell like meteors.
Boom——
Explosions were heard everywhere, screams of pain were heard everywhere, and blood and flesh were splattered everywhere.
Groups of enemy figures were blown away by the impact of the explosion, and the originally arranged large formation suddenly became empty.
Xi Heng swung his sword forward, clearing away obstacles for the cavalry formation.
The enemy soldiers who were still standing tried to swing their swords to kill, but their heads were blown off by the sword energy she swung.
The soldiers who barely managed to dodge the two attacks had their minds stunned by the continuous explosions. Even if those with strong minds wanted to swing their swords and kill, their numbers were so few that they could not stop the aggressive cavalry.
Having already charged into the enemy camp, the riders' initial hesitation turned into frenzy.
Now with the help of magic, everyone became excited and shouted, killing continuously.
The cavalry penetrated into the enemy's hinterland like a sharp knife, and with Xi Heng's sword energy opening up the way forward, they finally saw the piles of chariot arrays in front of the city wall.
Estimating the distance to be several hundred meters, Xi Heng took the lead and raised his left hand which was tightly holding the spirit stone. The fire pattern on the back of his hand blossomed and became larger and larger.
The flames surged up, and the largest fireball was quickly raised.
The last time she used such powerful fire magic was to break the thick fog during her search for immortals at sea.
Today, by coincidence, the fog was broken in another way.
Previously, the fireball hit the sky, but this time it was going to hit the ground and take lives.
The fire pattern was fully activated, forming a huge fireball with a diameter of several meters in the sky, like the sun falling to the ground.
Even if it just appears, it will cause unparalleled popularity.
When the enemy soldiers saw the sun-like fireball appear, many of them began to tremble and kneel down.
As soon as the sun was full, Xi Heng was thrown out and fell far away towards the position in the distance where a large number of catapults and gunpowder were gathered.
An unstoppable fireball fell, and a white light exploded first.
All the people who still had their eyes open within a few hundred meters felt a sudden burst of blinding light falling into their pupils, and for a moment they could not see anything else.
The roar and impact of the explosion came at the same time, causing Xi Heng to have a little tinnitus.
Countless pieces of flesh and blood were shattered into pieces, and then instantly turned into charcoal by the intense heat, thrown high into the air, drawing a bloody arc in the air like flowers scattered by a fairy, and fell down from a distance.
The enemy soldiers in the center of the explosion didn't even have time to panic or scream in pain.
Perhaps these people had already died long before the pain spread throughout their bodies.
Only the soldiers on the periphery affected by the explosion had the chance to cry out in pain and show some horrified reactions.
A huge fireball came down, and the soldiers who had dared to block the road just now either froze or retreated. When they saw the horses leaping over, they jumped to the other side and dared not resist with shields or guns.
The Bird Flying Formation continued to charge. Although the impact of the explosion also affected the cavalry formation, they became more excited when they saw this huge fireball.
With the help of magic, they look like divine soldiers and generals.
The horses continued to run forward, stepping on the raging flames caused by the aftermath of the explosion.
After running for hundreds of meters, they arrived at the remains of the siege array. Seeing that there were still a few buildings that had escaped the explosion, the vanguard cavalry pushed a few more fireballs over and smashed them one by one.
During the explosion, the intense heat and fire ignited the black fog bombs stored in various boxes, and the black smoke contained in them burst out.
As soon as the explosion disappeared, a large amount of black and gray fog spread.
As soon as the horses broke through the fog, a group of cavalry was quickly organized in the center of the enemy army.
——rushed towards her team.
Xi Heng raised his hand and waved. Dozens of fireballs lit up behind him and smashed into the enemy cavalry positions, causing people and horses to fall to the ground.
She flicked the reins again and the horse continued to speed up.
The enemy general finally reacted at this moment. A burly general wearing full armor, holding a huge hammer and wearing heavy iron boots, led many generals to meet them.
"But you've only achieved great success in dark energy, so you look down on me?" Xi Heng sneered.
While there were still a large number of densely packed soldiers in the enemy area, he closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, the sword blade passed across his left hand, stained with blood, and then he held the sword with both hands and pulled it to his shoulder.
Waves of murderous intent dissipated, and an inexplicable power made the thousands of enemy soldiers in front of them suddenly panic.
