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

Chapter 246
Chapter 246
It was snowing heavily, and in the middle of the night, everything was silent.

Li Xin led [-] cavalrymen to walk forward slowly. As they went forward, the snow became heavier and heavier, and their speed became slower and slower as the wind and snow blocked them.

Along the way, no soldier dared to speak, and everyone held back their energy and marched rapidly.

Fortunately, with God's blessing, they finally arrived outside Jicheng safely before dawn.In order to be on the safe side, Li Xin did not rush to attack the city, but chose a place slightly sheltered from the wind, and organized the soldiers to dismount, eat, drink and keep warm.

At this moment, the scouts who were inquiring about the news finally returned.

Through their narration, Li Xin has a general understanding of Jicheng in front of him.

On the city wall, teams of five rebel soldiers held torches and patrolled around the city gate regularly.More than a hundred rebels were stationed in the barracks less than ten steps away from the gate.

At this moment, except for more than a hundred soldiers patrolling the night watch, the rest of the rebels have fallen asleep.

Looking at the city in front of him, Li Xin knew very well that there was only one situation at hand, and that was a silent and quick battle.

It is necessary to occupy the city gate before the sleeping defenders in the city react, so that they can attack Jicheng together from inside and outside.

After everyone was full of wine and food, Li Xin personally led some soldiers in white robes and approached the city wall.

If someone can stand in the air, they will find that at this moment, with the city gate as the center, there are more than a hundred snowballs coming towards the city gate in a dense manner under the cover of night.

The snowball is getting closer
Slowly, less than a hundred steps away from the city gate, the snowballs in all directions have joined together, forming a huge long snake and encircling the city wall.

Another group of five-member rebels with torches passed by, and the surrounding area was suddenly plunged into darkness.

The Jiuyuan soldiers who had been prepared for a long time quickly took out the tools for climbing the wall from their bodies, and after a quick stroke, they directly planed on the city wall.

The iron hook scratched and pulled twice on the city wall, and then stuck firmly.

"on!"

Li Xin gave an order, and several soldiers dragged the ropes and quickly climbed up, while the soldiers next to them carefully stared at the city wall in front of them with bows and crossbows.

Fortunately, it was snowing heavily, and the entire Jicheng was almost buried in the world of ice and snow. Not only was there a lot of snow on the ground, but also a lot of snowflakes on the city walls.

The soldiers stepped on the snowflakes and climbed up, their feet were wet and slippery, and their speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

Li Xinxin jumped wildly, looking at the city wall in front of him, his face was full of anxiety.

All he wanted was for the patrolling rebels not to come over at this time, so as to give them a chance to sneak attack.

It's a pity that Tian fulfilled his wish, and at this moment, a five-member rebel squad appeared around the corner.

Although the light of the torch is not very bright, as long as you get close to the edge of the city wall, you can definitely see the situation below clearly by the light of the torch.At this time, it was already impossible for Li Xin to let the brothers who were climbing in mid-air come down, and they had no time to climb up directly.

In desperation, he could only ask the surrounding soldiers to take out their crossbows, fill them with arrows and prepare to attack.

Between the sky and the earth, there seemed to be only the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers, and everyone was holding their breath, not daring to breathe loudly.

When the five-man rebel team was only a dozen steps away from them, Li Xin finally launched an attack.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

In the dark night, the sound of the machine spring sounded quickly, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.In the silent night, the sound spread far and far.

But because of Xue Ye, the voice was quickly absorbed by Xue and did not reach the ears of those rebel soldiers.

Seeing that there was no movement from the rebels in the city, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ordered the soldiers to continue climbing.

Because this matter was stirred up just now, the soldiers of the Nine Plains Army immediately cheered up, using both hands and feet, and quickly climbed up one after another.

"No, there is an enemy attack!"

In the darkness, a shout suddenly came out from a civilian house, and suddenly the originally quiet rebel camp erupted.

Because they were in Jicheng, these rebels did not send out all the checkpoints as usual, especially the plundering and alarming sentries that extended several miles away, but good habits made the rebels guarding the city gates While a large number of clear sentries were deployed, a few dark sentries were also arranged around the camp.

Although Li Xin and the others were quick and accurate just now, they were still discovered by a secret sentry hiding on the roof of a private house. Moreover, unlike ordinary soldiers, these people were obviously much more agile.

"Kill them!"

Li Xin just boarded the city wall and quickly ordered his men to attack.

Numerous Jiuyuan Army soldiers quickly attacked.

"Papapa" continuous slight machine-cracking sound, followed by countless slight "咻咻咻" piercing the air.

The leader guarding the city gate was Lin Dong, Li Xin's former military academy lieutenant. He heard the commotion outside and had just gotten out of the tent when he heard the very familiar sound of breaking through the air.

"Strong crossbow!" A thought came to his mind, although it was a little different.However, he was familiar with the various functions of the Great Qin Qiangnu, and he immediately realized what it was that made the sound.

"Get down!" Lin Dong suddenly shouted loudly.Before he finished speaking, hundreds of horizontal crossbow arrows struck from the surrounding darkness and penetrated fiercely into the bodies of the rebel soldiers who rushed out and the rebels who had just emerged from the camp.There was also the sound of the tent being torn apart.

"what!"

"what!"

……

The sudden appearance of crossbow arrows knocked down the rebel army just now. Except for the twenty or so night watchmen who ran over, almost all the more than a hundred rebel soldiers who just got out of the camp had been shot and fell to the ground.

And there were constant cries of pain in the camp, and it was obvious that many people were injured.

The attacker was actually equipped with a crossbow!
There is a strong crossbow equipment in the world, except for the soldiers of the Qin army, no other army has such arrogance.

In the entire Liaodong, apart from them, there is only the Jiuyuan Army entrenched by the Yishui River.

The Jiuyuan army actually crossed the Yishui River to launch a sneak attack. This issue was obviously not thought of by all the rebel soldiers, but obviously this is not the time to consider the issue of crossbows.

"Blow the horn!"

The urgent horn sounded, especially loud in the silent night, and the peaceful city of Jicheng suddenly boiled.

The strong crossbow of Daqin was the most sophisticated crossbow at this time. Nowadays, soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army generally need [-] breaths after firing a crossbow to be able to mount another crossbow.Skilled soldiers can fire crossbows within thirty breaths.

Although the enemies in front of them were using repeating crossbows, under such an intensive attack, they would definitely need arrow supplies to shoot a few arrows at most.

As long as they are supplying arrows, it is time for them to launch a counterattack.

Just in case, the Lin Dong Alliance asked people to put out the torches in the camp.As long as there is no torch, the Jiuyuan army in the city will be blind, and they will not dare to shoot another arrow at close range.

It's a pity that he was wrong, because the continuous crossbow equipped by the Jiuyuan Army was no longer as simple as he imagined.In particular, the battalion of soldiers led by Li Xin went deep into the enemy's rear and fought to the death. To be on the safe side, Meng Tian took out all his family assets that he had been reluctant to use.

The Qin army was equipped with strong equipment, so the rebels in the city naturally had no chance of winning.

Compared with the two, the rebels collapsed instantly.

The gate of the city was opened, and within half an hour, Jicheng changed hands again. At dawn, the battle flag of the Jiuyuan Army had already been planted on the top of the city.
