Chapter 342 Flesh and Blood Flying

Chapter 342 Flesh and Blood Flying

The catapults of the Qin army in the city seem to have eyes, and they have been following the catapult army of the Chu army on all sides to retreat!Wave after wave of stone bullets flew out of Xingyang one after another. It would be fine if the stone bullets just hit the catapult, and they would not bounce around.If the stone bullets did not hit the ground but fell to the ground, there would immediately be a bloodstain in the formation, and at least dozens of soldiers died under the rolling stone bullets.

If you rub it, you will lie down, if you touch it, you will die.

Fortunately, I finally survived the hundred or so steps.

During the hundreds of steps, at least one-third of the Chu army's catapults were destroyed by the Qin army's catapults in the city, and nearly a thousand soldiers were killed or injured.

As the catapult moved forward, what remained were broken arms and limbs along the way and bomb craters scattered on the ground.

The soldiers of the Chu army who had escaped by chance hurriedly set up the catapult, and hastily put on the stone bombs the size of a human head. Dozens of people shouted and threw the stone bombs out fiercely.

Hundreds of head-sized stone bullets roared towards the walls of Xingyang City.

Although due to the rush, many stone bullets missed the target or fell down without even reaching the top of the city.

But the base number of the Chu army's catapults was there. Ten of the 300 catapults, and more than 30 catapults also had more than 30 stone bullets hitting the city wall.What's more, the more than [-] catapults dropped far more than [-] stone bullets on the city wall, and at least nearly a hundred stone bullets flew towards the city wall.

There was no sound on the city wall, only the stone bullets and broken stone fragments flying on the wall.

Now there is no one on the Xingyang Wall.

The army of the Chu State did not move, and Ying Gang would naturally not be so stupid as to let the soldiers go up to the city wall and wait for the Chu State's catapults to bombard them.Only a few personal guards were left at the highest tower to monitor the movements of the Chu army.

The drums of war are getting louder.

The densely packed rebel soldiers in the camps on all sides of the city wall quickly crossed five trenches, holding a large shield and carrying a long ladder, swarming towards Xingyang City, shouting.

Stone bombs flew up and down the city wall.

From time to time, the catapults of the Chu army were hit by stone bullets flying out of the city, turning them into ruins.A Chu soldier was knocked down by flying stone bullets.

As the Chu army rushed into the range of the trebuchets in the city, the casualties suddenly increased.

The dense formation of the Chu army is just suitable for the rampant stone bombs in the city.

The stone bullets flying out of the city suddenly became full of bullets!Even if it didn't hit Chu's catapult, as long as it fell to the ground, it would immediately plow out crooked bloodstains in the crowd.

Countless Chu soldiers were knocked to death by rolling stone bullets.

"woooooo"

A long horn sounded from the city wall.

Obviously, the army of Chu State is now less than [-] steps away from the city wall, and the soldiers guarding the city must go up to the city wall to defend at this time.

The Qin soldiers wearing black armor changed from cavalry to infantry and appeared on the city wall.

After a long period of shooting, the accuracy of Chu's catapult army has also improved a lot, and another wave of bullets rained down.Blood flowers bloomed one after another, and for the first time there were casualties of the Qin army on the city wall of Xingyang.

Although Ying Gang had already paved several inches of mud and sand on the aisles of the city wall to prevent the stone bombs thrown by the Chu army's catapults from running around, it was obviously impossible to also spread mud on the several-foot-high wall stacks on both sides of the city wall. sand.

The casualties of the Qin army this time, except for a few who were hit by stone bullets falling from the sky because they could not avoid it, most of the rest were caused by the stone bullets hitting the wall and bouncing off, or the stone bullets shattered and scattered stones. injured.

The injured soldiers who fell to the ground were naturally carried to the city for treatment. The uninjured soldiers of the Qin Army stood upright like a mountain, turning a blind eye to the flying stone bullets above their heads, and staring closely at the soldiers of the Chu State who were rushing forward.

Four hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
250 steps!
A continuous bang sounded from the four walls of Xingyang.

"Buzz!"

With a dazzling cold light, a large number of crossbow arrows went straight to the Chu army that was rushing towards the city.

Hearing the strange humming sound above the city, tens of thousands of rebel soldiers rushing up from all sides raised their wooden shields to cover their heads, and rushed up without stopping their steps, shouting and speeding up.

"Duh duh!"

The thick wooden shield blocked most of the crossbow arrows, causing little damage to the Chu army.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows could not penetrate the wooden shield of Chu State, the Qin army on the city wall gave up and continued to attack with crossbow arrows, and treated it seriously.

Above the head, the catapults of the Chu state kept throwing stone bullets the size of human heads desperately. From time to time, soldiers of the Qin army were hit by the flying stone bullets and were blocked by small shields, but the stones falling down with strong gravity In an instant, the small shield was smashed to pieces, hitting the soldiers of the Qin army.

With the creepy sound of bone shattering, a soldier of the Qin army fell to the ground weakly!Then there were soldiers who had been waiting at the corridor of the city wall for a long time, and without stopping, they went forward to carry the soldiers of the Qin army who fell to the ground to the city for treatment.

The sharp crossbows of the Qin army did not cause any harm to the Chu soldiers, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chu soldiers.

More than two hundred steps will arrive in the blink of an eye.

The long ladder finally reached the top of Xingyang City.

At this time, Long Qi's catapults finally stopped throwing stone bombs, but they dropped the catapults one after another and rushed up with shouts.

One by one, the soldiers of Chu State holding up their large shields began to climb up the ladders on the city wall desperately.

Pots of boiling hot golden juice with a pungent stench poured down from the top of the city.

Immediately, there were extremely shrill howls under the city wall, and a stench of roasted rotting meat filled the air.

The rebel soldiers who were climbing up the ladder fell to the bottom of the city with helpless hands, holding their burned and split faces, howling miserably.With a wave of golden juice, at least a thousand rebel soldiers fell down under the city wall.

Rolling stones and trees fell like raindrops, knocking the rebel soldiers who were desperately climbing to the ground one by one.

At every moment, countless rebel soldiers were killed.

The peaceful Xingyang suddenly became a battlefield of blood and fire.

Without the support of trebuchets, the casualties of the soldiers of the Qin army on the city wall were greatly reduced.

Because the soldiers of the Chu State who attacked the city lacked strong bows, they could hardly cause any harm to the soldiers of the Qin Army defending the city.The most important thing is that the Qin army deployed countless defensive weapons such as rolling stones, wood and gold juice.

The Chu army under the city was crowded together, unable to climb to the top of the city at all.

In order to kill the soldiers of Chu State to the greatest extent, the Qin army on the city wall did not care about the ladders on the city wall, and let the soldiers of Chu State climb up the ladders. Since then, the soldiers of Chu State who climbed the ladders basically died. one.

The whole occupation suddenly fell into a state of anxiety.

Zhang Liang looked at the sky, the sun was going to set in at most half an hour.Walking up to Longqie who had stopped beating the drum, he whispered something into Longqie's ears.

"Zifang, so..." Long Qie's complexion changed drastically after hearing Zhang Liang's words, and he hesitated.

"General, if we don't act like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to take down Xingyang today, and I'm afraid we won't be able to take down this small city of Xingyang in three days, five days or even ten days." Zhang Liang pointed at the battle. Up and down the Xingyang city wall, shouted loudly.

Regarding the current situation, he was also extremely anxious.

Qin Jun and them have already played all their cards. If they cannot win, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Long Qi's expression changed, and he suddenly ordered: "Command the army, if there is no general Ming Jindan who retreats privately, he will be killed without mercy!"
