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

Chapter 254
Chapter 254
There was no close combat up and down the city, but swords were on the verge, and the collision of arrows and fireballs made people feel passionate and heroic. However, as the battle continued, the Qin army on the city was still at a disadvantage due to the number of people.

The rebels below pinned them down with trebuchets and suffocated them.

There was a fire in the city, and the rebels below the city took advantage of this free time to carry various siege weapons and attack Jicheng.

"Fire arrows."

Li Xin ordered the soldiers under his command to attack, but the rebels below the city were not the rebels from the Yan Kingdom. They held a shield in one hand and climbed the wall with the other, extremely fast.

Ying Gang had no choice but to adjust the attack direction to those siege ladders built on the city wall.

The fire dragon fired, and the soldiers fell down like onions.

The remaining soldiers did not dare to continue to approach because there were too many casualties, but avoided their edge one after another.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao immediately commanded all the trebuchets under his command to adjust the attack direction to where Ying Gang was.

Twenty trebuchets were thrown quickly, and countless fireballs hit Yinggang.

Although the distance was too far and the accuracy was poor, a few of them landed not far from Ying Gang.

Water and fire are ruthless, even if they have cultivated to the level of a great master, they still cannot resist the intrusion of water and fire. In desperation, Ying Gang could only pick up his weapon and retreat quickly.

As soon as he retreated, the pressure on the rebels below the city was greatly reduced, and they continued to attack with weapons.

Although the Nine Plains Army led by Li Xin was powerful, they finally couldn't hold on under the double pressure.

With a long sword in his hand, Li Xin kept slashing at the rebel soldiers who had climbed up, but his efforts were in vain.Kill a rebel, and soon another rebel climbed up.

"General, I can't do it anymore, I can't hold it anymore."

Li Xin wiped the blood from his face and shook his head, "No, hold on, you must support me, the general is already on his way, as long as we persist for a while, we will surely wipe out all these rebels."

When the soldiers heard the news, their morale rose slightly, and they all took up their spears to fight fiercely with the rebel soldiers who had climbed up.

The two sides entered a stalemate.

At this moment, Ying Gang is not idle either.

Although he has a system, he doesn't have the ability to spread the word and make an army.

Even though I have firearms, ammunition is limited.

To completely annihilate these enemies, one must think of a surefire way.

At this moment, the fire next to him caught his attention.

"Huo, yes, treat him with his own way." Without waiting to think about it, Ying Gang grabbed a few soldiers next to him and pointed to the kerosene placed aside.

"Quick, quickly throw this kerosene down, throw it on top of the enemy's fire, and ignite all the firewood."

Although the fires were extinguished by their soil, not all of them were extinguished. As long as a trace of fire fell, these fires could still be ignited again.

Although the soldiers knew that there were many dangers around the city wall, they had no choice at the moment. They had to go all out if they wanted to survive.

In desperation, he picked up the fire oil tank in his hand, took a step, and rushed directly towards the city wall.

Li Xin looked at the fire oil cans in the hands of the soldiers, and immediately understood Ying Gang's intentions, and quickly asked his crossbowmen to cover these companions carrying the fire oil cans.

Soon, the burning fire oil cans were thrown from the tower.

There was still some distance between the city wall and the pyre. A part of the fire oil tank fell on the ground and failed to ignite, but the remaining part just hit the pyre.

The firewood met the open flame again, and immediately burned quickly.

After a period of soaking, most of the oil did not directly adhere to the surface, but all penetrated into the pine wood.The pine wood was already flammable. Although the upper part was covered, a bigger flame burst out because of the oil residue on the ground.

In an instant, the advantages and disadvantages are reversed.

The flame blocked the route of the rebels' attack, and the follow-up soldiers did not dare to move forward in the face of the fire. Although the rebels on the city wall had already gained the upper hand, they were in a more difficult situation because of the loss of follow-up support.

Li Xin and Ying Gang seized this excellent opportunity and led their soldiers to quickly launch a general attack.For a while, the rebels retreated one after another. Some timid ones quickly climbed down from the ladder, but found that there was already a sea of ​​fire below and there was nowhere to retreat, so they tried to put out the fire.

But before they took any action, the Nine Plains Army on the city wall had already launched an attack, and they all let their arrows fall under their arrows.

Looking at the figures on the city wall, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and jumped into a rage.

It was only a little bit short, if the flame did not rekindle, Jicheng must have returned to his hands at this moment.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world, at this moment, everything turned upside down again, he killed and injured many soldiers, but he returned to the original point.

This time he didn't rush to attack, but asked the soldiers to clear part of the fire first.

The Jiuyuan Army on the city wall also seized this time to make corrections and count casualties.

Not long after, a school lieutenant came back quickly.

"General, there are about 2000 brothers we can kill."

"Two thousand?" Li Xin's expression darkened suddenly.

When attacking Jicheng, they lost 300 people, and now Zhao Gao attacked them and lost another 700 people.The strength gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, maybe after the fire is extinguished, it will be the time when Jicheng City is broken.

Looking at the enemy army in front of him, Li Xin looked at Ying Gang next to him and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, we can't hold it anymore, I hope you will leave sooner, and tell him when I return to Xianyang to meet His Majesty, I, Li Xin, did not To discredit the empire is not to embarrass His Majesty."

Although Ying Gang knew the current crisis, he did not give up. Looking at Li Xin in front of him, he said, "Let's go together. What do you want to say, go to His Majesty and say it yourself."

Li Xin shook his head: "All of this is caused by the fault of the last general. I can only wash away the humiliation on my body by dying. I hope you will be successful."

After finishing speaking, Li Xin waved his sword and looked at the surrounding soldiers and said: "Brothers, I, Li Xin, swear to the sky here, the city is alive and the people are alive, the city is broken and the people are dead. If you are willing to fight with me, you can stay." If you don't want to fight, leave immediately, and I, Li Xin, will never blame him."

The voice fell, and there was silence.

About half a minute later, a deafening shout suddenly burst out: "Correct Lao Qin, let's go to the national calamity together."

Hearing this, Li Xin's eyes were a little red, and he looked at the people in front of him and said, "Okay, let's correct Lao Qin and go to the national crisis together. Brothers, let us fight those thieves today."

"Fight!"

After the words fell, a smile suddenly appeared on Ying Gang's face, and he pointed to the distant horizon and shouted: "Reinforcements, reinforcements are here, we, we won."
