Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 150
Chapter 150
The defenders on the city were originally calm and composed, but the enemy troops below the city were completely suppressed by them and could not lift their heads.

Although their number is not as large as that of the Huns outside the city, their arrow reserves can make the Huns suffer a lot, and their sluggish confidence suddenly increased a lot.

But the next moment, everyone gasped.

On the flat ground, a row of crossbows suddenly appeared.

"Not good!" Meng Yi, who commanded the battle, suddenly turned pale with shock.

Although his position in the army is not high, and he has been responsible for the protection of the emperor Yingzheng for many years, but Yingzheng usually discusses with him when discussing military plans. The situation is also understood.

The moment these crossbows were brought out, he knew that these must have been brought out by the Huns from Lintao City.

All of a sudden, the advantages of the Qin army's bow and crossbow disappeared, and only danger was in front of them.

"Quick, fill the arrows quickly."

In the panic, all the soldiers were in disarray, and the speed of filling arrows was much slower than usual.

They were slow, but the Huns on the opposite side were not slow.

Under Touman's order, all the crossbows were launched before the Qin army, and the overwhelming arrows attacked directly.

The soldiers of the Qin army on the city couldn't dodge, and fell to the ground like cutting wheat.

The soldiers of the Yue clan below the city suddenly cheered.

Teams of soldiers quickly set up simple ladders on the city wall.

Although the Qin army suffered a lot of losses, they did not give up.

The Hu people were already approaching the city wall, and the large crossbows could no longer shoot. The soldiers of the Qin army on the wall used their crossbows and big bows to shoot and kill the swarming Yueshi soldiers. Occasionally, a few ladders were attached to the city wall, Before the enemy could climb up, he was immediately overturned by the Qin army on the wall.

For more than an hour, these Yueshi soldiers were still unable to rush to the top of the city. At every moment, countless Yueshi soldiers fell to the ground and died under the crossbows of the Qin army on the wall.

Although Touman kept ordering his soldiers to attack with crossbows, the soldiers of the Qin army seemed to be inexhaustible. One group fell, and another group quickly replenished.

Before the Qin people's arrows were exhausted, the Huns outside the city ran out of ammunition and food first.

The arrows needed by the crossbow machine are not replaceable by ordinary bows and arrows. Although Lintao captured some of them earlier, they have been consumed for a long time in continuous fighting.

Now after several attacks, ordinary bows and arrows still have some arrows, but those crossbows with the longest range and high lethality have all become decorations.

Seeing that Touman was still unable to break through the city, the leader of the Yue clan persuaded him to retreat.

But Touman was unmoved.

He knew very well that Qin Jun was also very tired at this time, as long as he persisted, he might be able to break through the city.But if they retreat at this time, Qin Bing will definitely have a respite, and they will not be able to hold on if they go back and forth like this.

King Yueshi's persuasion was fruitless, and he did not dare to order the troops to retreat without authorization, so he could only jump up and down in a hurry.

Because Touman never called for gold to withdraw his troops, all the soldiers of the Yue clan could only rush to kill, hoping to rush to the top of the city by chance.

This ineffective fight continued for another half an hour. Seeing that the last ladder was overturned and smashed to the ground by the Qin army, Touman finally made people feel golden.

Hearing the sound of gold ringing, the soldiers of the Yue clan retreated like a tide, and the soldiers of the Qin army on the wall also collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

From five hundred steps away from the city wall, to the bottom of the city wall, it became a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Arrows were everywhere, covered with the corpses of countless Hun soldiers and wounded soldiers who were still screaming. The blood stained the city wall. Down nearly five hundred steps to every inch of land.

Xianyang, a century-old city, was baptized with blood for the first time.

A strong, nauseating smell of blood filled the air.

Although the Yuezhi soldiers did not board the city, they also caused a lot of casualties to them. However, the casualties of the Yuezhi tribe and the Qin army's casualties were really negligible.

At this moment, many soldiers of the Qin army were pale and had not recovered from the battle.

Meng Yi took off his sweat-wet clothes, sat aside, and ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield, repair weapons, and treat the wounded.

According to a little statistics, from the start of the battle to the retreat of the Huns, they themselves lost about 3000 people and injured no less than [-]. It is roughly estimated that the number of Yuezhi soldiers killed on the opposite side was at least five times that of theirs.

With this battle report alone, the worries in Meng Yi's heart dissipated a bit.

The reason why the Huns are able to do so today is entirely because they have a big killer like a crossbow, but judging from the second half of the fight, their arrows should have been exhausted.

Next, the chance of the enemy army wanting to cause damage to the Qin army will be even smaller, and it should not be difficult to defend the city.

After learning about the battle situation, Fusu also rushed to the wounded barracks to visit the wounded immediately, and asked Li Si to count the dead soldiers and distribute pensions.

Presumably on the side of the Qin army, the situation on the side of the Huns is not ideal.

The Yuezhi leader almost came back crying.

Before he set off, he had a total of 2 troops. By the end of today, there were only less than [-] soldiers left. After fighting in one day, more than [-] soldiers were killed.

The soldiers who came back by chance were almost exhausted and fell to the ground weakly.

Riding on a horse, looking at the messy Yuezhi soldiers around him, Touman ordered his soldiers to prepare wine, food and witch doctor in a low voice.

Unlike the doctors of the Qin army, the doctors of the Huns played more of a role in saving the dead.

In a fight, no less than [-] to [-] people were injured. Based on the situation of the Huns alone, there were not so many medicinal materials to save people.Those who are strong and with minor injuries may survive, but those who are old and frail with serious injuries may just sit and wait to die.

At this time, instead of wasting medicinal materials to save those seriously injured, it is better to give them a bowl of wine so that they can go on the road with peace of mind.

Looking at the crying leader of the Yue clan, Touman's expression was extremely ugly.

Looking around, he said to the generals under his command: "Everyone, discuss matters in the king's account and discuss countermeasures."
