The citizens inside the city, in order to survive and have a bite to eat, begrudgingly became citizens of Zhou. He never thought that the people of Xiliang would genuinely assist the Zhou army in resisting Xiliang.
Moreover, the Xiliang army, after a long trek, did not bring siege engines like trebuchets, making their siege efforts inevitably strenuous.
Therefore, when the first wave of attacks began, the Zhou troops on the city walls methodically used bows and crossbows to shoot.
Bai Qingyan, seeing the fearless Xiliang troops charging towards Jiangzi City, shouted loudly, "Liu Pinggao! Order them to wrap jars filled with kerosene on the crossbow arrows, and light the arrows!"
"Yes!" Liu Pinggao received the order and instructed the soldiers to rush down the city walls and relay the command to the civilians.
Wei Zhong still wanted to protect Bai Qingyan behind him, but Bai Qingyan drew an arrow, aimed at the distance, and shot... never missing his target.
