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

Chapter 344 The City Will Be Broken
Chapter 344 The City Will Be Broken
The fiery sun that has been raging all day is gradually moving westward, and it won't be long before night falls!The scorching heat still enveloped the whole earth.

Stone bullets were flying, and a fight that seemed to be coming to an end was going on on both sides of the city wall of Xingyang City. The rich smell of blood began to accumulate in the dusk.

Now the situation on the city wall has become more and more clear. Although the soldiers of the Qin army guarding the city are resisting with all their strength, regardless of the bombs falling from the sky above their heads, there are really too few soldiers of the Qin army.

The number of soldiers attacking the city on four sides of the city wall has exceeded 8, almost completely encircling the small city of Xingyang.Every time a piece of rolling stone was dropped or a barrel of gold juice was poured, dozens of soldiers of the Qin army would be crushed to death by stone bullets falling from the sky.

And Xiang Liang's soldiers have become smarter now.

Only a few rebel soldiers who climbed up the city wall before were killed by the Qin army defending the city, and most of the rest died on the stone bombs thrown by the trebuchet behind their houses, so they no longer climbed desperately. Take the ladder, and then hold the shield to cover the top of the head and shout desperately under the city wall.

Anyway, Qin Jun didn't dare to retreat, so he could only passively stand on the city wall against the stone bullets falling from his head.

Many wall stacks on the city wall have been smashed by non-stop stone bullets.

Ten thousand Chu veterans who had fought with the Qin army quietly set out from the camp under the leadership of the "Xiang" banner.

Among the 1 people was a thick wooden pillar more than ten feet long, two feet thick, and with a conical ram at the top, which was carried by hundreds of people.

This wooden pillar is what Long Qi used to smash into the city gate.

Since its development, Longqie has never used troops to storm the city gate.It was just to wait for the moment when Qin Jun couldn't care less.

The attack on the city wall was just to attract the Qin army to defend the city, so that they could use the trebuchet to kill the small number of Qin army, and really wanted to break through the city and walk away from the city wall.It's really too much trouble.

These ten thousand veterans of the Chu State were obviously different from the rebel soldiers who swarmed up before. They walked neatly, as if they hadn't seen the stone bullets flying out of the city.Centered on hundreds of soldiers carrying the awl, they quickly approached the south gate of Xingyang City.

The soldiers of the Qin army who fell to the ground can be seen everywhere on the city wall.

The injured soldiers of the Qin army could be quickly transferred to the city for treatment. Now, with the sudden force of the Chu State's trebuchet army, the casualties of the soldiers of the Qin army increased sharply. Many soldiers of the Qin army were knocked down and injured by stone bullets. He fell down on the city wall, and was hit by the flying stone bullets for the second and third time until he died.

The hot blood soaked Ying Gangming Yang Duan and the mud and sand paved on the aisle of the city wall, and the city wall was muddy.

Groups of soldiers of the Qin army or the people of Xingyang threw themselves on the city wall.Then in less than a moment, it was swept away by stone bullets flying all over the sky.

From the beginning of the war to the present, in just over an hour, the soldiers of the Qin army, including the civilians in Xingyang who had temporarily joined the army, had suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

In the first half an hour, there were still wounded soldiers being carried down, but now the soldiers of the Qin Army that were carried down were all bloody and bloody.

Among the 1 people, nearly 6000 were the elite Qin army who followed the victory of the Wuguan War, and the remaining [-] were Xingyang soldiers.

The center of Xingyang City has now become a huge field hospital, where more than 2000 injured soldiers of the Qin Army are being treated temporarily.As soon as Ying went down to the city, he stayed on the square all the time.

Looking at the wounded people all over the city and more and more soldiers of the Qin army being crushed to death by the stone bullets flying above their heads.Ying Gang knew that if this continued, he might not have a single soldier under his command for another two hours at most.

Only at this moment did he really understand the insignificance of manpower.

Regardless of whether it is a grandmaster or a great grandmaster, dueling is almost the limit of human beings.But on this battlefield where tens of thousands of people are fighting, one person's strength is simply not enough to reverse anything.

Even if he can kill hundreds or even thousands of people, the more than [-] enemy troops will soon devour him.

Right now, in order to defeat the enemy, the only hope is these soldiers under his command.

Do you want to use those unarmed people to go up to the top of the city to defend the city?Then let them be smashed to death on the city wall by the Chu army's catapult?
I can't do it myself.

"Young master, the soldiers on the city wall report that more than 1 soldiers of the Chu army are coming towards the city gate with the hammer on their shoulders." A personal guard came quickly.

"Elite soldiers?" Ying Gang frowned.

"These 1 people are all hard-wearing elite soldiers, and their murderous aura is concealed! General Han Xin deduced that these should be veterans recruited by Chu State."

Carrying the awl into the city, it was obvious that the enemy army outside the city felt that the time had come, and wanted to use these veterans to break through the city gate in one fell swoop.

It can't go on like this any longer.

"Go and pass on the order to order all the defenders to retreat from the city wall." Ying Gang ordered in his heart.

The soldiers were stunned and quickly passed the news to the generals on the tower.

Not long after, Yang Duanhe came quickly.

"Sir, those rebel soldiers in the lower city are about to board the city wall!" Yang Duanhe Yilian looked surprised.

"Before going down to the city, pour all the kerosene and other things you prepared before on the city wall. Don't they want to come up? Just let them come up! You, Wang Ben, Zhong Limei, and Han Xin each lead two thousand soldiers to guard me Don't let a rebel soldier down in the corridors of the lower city." Ying Gang licked his lips and said.

"Hi!"

Yang Duanhe also knew that if this continued consumption, the soldiers in the city would die in a short time.He hurriedly replied, the corridors of the city wall are only more than one zhang wide, and all soldiers have to pass through the corridors to go down the city. It is obviously no problem for two thousand soldiers of the Qin army to guard the corridors of the city walls.

"Transfer all the heavy cavalry to me."

"Hi!"

Not long after, the captain of the heavy armored cavalry came to see Ying Gang.

Ying Gang looked at the captain named Wang Sen in front of him and said, "The enemy army is about to break through the city. Would Captain Wang dare to fight the enemy to the death?"

Wang Sen was expressionless, cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to die for the empire."

Win just nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice that I have always advocated has taken root in the heavy cavalry.

"Order the heavy armored cavalry soldiers to put on their armor and gather at the west gate. Each of the heavy armored cavalrymen will carry a can of kerosene with them and follow the infantry closely. After I order the city gate to be opened wide, you will personally lead the people out of a passage, and then you will drag me out." Tens of thousands of rebels living under the city, let the cavalry destroy the catapults around the four walls." Ying Gang directly ordered.

The rebel soldiers gathered under the city wall were all mobs except for the fierce Baiyue barbarians. Hu Hai didn't take it seriously. The most important thing now was to get rid of Longqie's hundreds of trebuchets.

There are now more than two hundred trebuchets in the city.However, because of the base number of Longqie's original trebuchets, coupled with the continuous rush to make them, the destruction in the city has always remained the same as that of Longqie's replenished trebuchets.

However, if Xiangliang's catapults are destroyed, the number of catapults in the city can immediately gain an overwhelming advantage, ensuring that Longqi's catapults will be destroyed as soon as they are sent up. Never face the threat of dragons and trebuchets again.
