It was dark and the night was lit by stars.

However, everyone was not in the mood to enjoy the night view. They were all worried about the war at the city gate.

The city gate has been knocked open by the enemy in Xisha, and the heavy bolt has cracked. If you hit it a few more times, the city gate will have to be knocked open.

Countless soldiers blocked behind the gate with their bodies and pushed the gate forward desperately to prevent the enemy from knocking it open.

The people outside hit inside and the people inside pushed outside. The two sides launched a hard tug of war.

The cunning Xisha people even shot arrows through the crack in the door. Sometimes they stabbed a spear inside. The long spear head poked out, and directly stabbed the soldiers closest to the crack in the door. Blood splashed everywhere and screams pierced the eardrums.

Above the wall.

Chang Yi looked at the battle situation under his head. He was as anxious as ants on the hot pot.

Fu Qi commanded the archers to shoot arrows. Countless arrows were fired at the enemies who were hitting the door, but today the enemy came prepared. They were all wearing armor, and special armor men were escorting nearby with shields. The arrows could not penetrate the shields. Everything was in vain.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be knocked open, Chang was in a hurry and threw himself into a doctor: "come on, smash those bastards with a stone throwing machine!"

Fu Qi quickly stopped him: "you can't smash! The accuracy of the catapult is not enough. This angle is just not conducive to launching the catapult. If the stone doesn't hit the enemy, but hit the city gate, we don't need the enemy to do it. We'll break our own city gate by ourselves! "

"What do you say? We can't just watch the enemy knock the door open! "

Fu Qi looked around. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the pottery pots stacked in the corner and suddenly remembered Jiang Weiwei's plan.

With a movement in his heart, he rushed over, picked up a pottery pot containing lime powder and smashed it in the direction of the city gate.

The clay pot hit the enemy's shield and exploded with a bang, and the lime powder spread.

Xisha people completely didn't expect the other party to do so. They were caught off guard. Lime powder drilled into their eyes and nose, causing their eyes and nose to ache, tears and runny nose to flow down.

There was a crack in the shield defense, and the speed and strength of hitting the door slowed down.

Seeing the effect, Fu Qi pointed to the soldiers closest to him and roared.

"Come on, throw these pots at the enemy!"

Then, a dozen pottery pots smashed at the enemy.

The lime powder exploded one after another.

The warriors with shields in their hands could no longer carry them. They directly threw down their heavy shields, covered their eyes, mouth and nose, and ran away in the distance. Not only their eyes and nose were red and swollen, but also their lungs were burning and painful, and it was difficult to breathe. Some people jumped directly into the moat and wanted to wash the lime powder off their bodies with the river. Unexpectedly, as soon as the water touched the lime, it immediately produced strong corrosivity. Their skin and flesh were corroded into a bad shape. They screamed and struggled desperately in the river.

Without the shield, those Xisha people who were hitting the city gate were like turtles with their shells peeled off. Fu Qi ordered to shoot arrows quickly!

Due to the cover of lime powder, the archers could not see the situation at the gate of the city. They could only shoot indiscriminately by intuition.

But even so, he shot many people. In the lime powder fog, which was so strong that he could hardly see his fingers, the screams of the enemy kept coming out.

Soon, the action of hitting the door stopped completely, and the enemy retreated madly.

Seeing this scene, he was overjoyed. He gave Fu Qi a thumbs up.

"You can come up with such a move, boy!"

Fu Qi said, "Dr. Jiang came up with this method. I just tried it. I didn't expect the effect to be better than I expected. If we knew this, we should prepare more pottery pots and limestone."

Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's retreat, Chang Yi quickly ordered someone to repair and strengthen the city gate, and the injured soldiers were sent to the wounded camp.

Fu Qi glanced at the place where the pottery pots were stacked. Just now he threw out more than 20. The rest should be saved.

……

Compared with the excitement of the people in southern Chu, the atmosphere in Xisha is very low.

The king of Huoluo rode on a horse. Even among the Xisha people who are generally tall and strong, his figure is very tall and burly. His bronze skin glows with oil in the night, the muscles hidden under the armor are full of strength, and his blue eyes are as sharp as eagles and falcons.

At this time, he was looking at the warriors crawling on the ground in front of him with his sharp eyes.

By the light of the torch, he saw that these warriors were covered with gray powder. Some people were still coughing, and their tears and snot kept flowing down. He looked very embarrassed.

King Huoluo is in a bad mood at this time.

They have 400000 people, and most of them are equipped with excellent armor - Xisha has no metal smelting technology, so they can't make excellent armor. Naturally, their armor is taken from the people of Southern Chu.

In front of Liangshan pass, there are only 200000 Southern Chu people.

Four hundred thousand people to two hundred thousand people, the king of Huoluo thought he had a good chance of winning. He didn't even bother to use tricks. He directly ordered the warriors to hit the city gate. He wanted to rush in from the main gate and let the people of Southern Chu have a good look at how powerful their Xisha people are!

As a result, the city gate was not opened, and the person who hit the door was beaten back.

The purpose could not be achieved, which made the king of Huoluo very unhappy.

He asked coldly, "what's going on?"

Among the more than twenty people kneeling on the ground, the first one raised his head and showed his face covered with lime powder.

His eyes were too swollen to open, and the tears mixed with lime powder produced a corrosive effect that made his skin red, swollen, ulcerated, itchy and painful, and his whole face was beyond recognition.

He resisted the impulse to scratch the wound and cried, "the people of Southern Chu are cunning. They use a weapon we have never seen before. That weapon releases powder after exploding. As soon as we touch those powder, we feel terrible."

King Huoluo looked at his confidant.

The confidant immediately turned over and dismounted, walked forward to check the injuries of those people, then returned to the king of fire and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, King Huoluo's face became serious.

Just when everyone thought he would be furious, he raised his head, looked in the direction of Liangshan pass and laughed.

"Unexpectedly, the people of Southern Chu have developed such powerful secret weapons. I underestimated them this time."

The king of Huoluo, who had never made a military mistake, had a small stumble in Liangshan pass for the first time, which made him more interested than surprised.

He hasn't met such a difficult enemy for a long time.
