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

Chapter 353

Chapter 353

A ray of dawn began to appear in the easternmost sky, and it was finally dawn.

Countless blazing torches were burning on the city wall of Xingyang City, illuminating the entire city wall within fifty paces inside and outside as if it were daytime.

The smoke mixed with the stench of burning human bodies and the strong smell of blood filled the air, making people sick to smell it.

The city walls of Xingyang City, which were originally repaired neatly, are now full of traces of smoke and fire everywhere. There are traces of sword chopping and ax chopping on many wall battlement bricks. The soldiers of the Qin army, with tattered armor and traces of gunpowder smoke all over their bodies, were lying on the ground in a mess in the muddy red aisle, holding bronze swords or crossbows in their hands and sleeping soundly.

The corridor was originally covered with sand and gravel to prevent the enemy's trebuchets from bouncing. It was originally scorched by a fire on the city wall. Now it has been soaked with thick blood. The entire city wall corridor has become Blood red swamp.

Since Long Qie withdrew his troops last night because of the arson on the black ice platform, he had planned to rest, but learned that Zhao Jun planned to retreat.

In line with the last-minute plan, Zhang Liangqian decided to let Long Qie fight at night.Although the order changes from day to day, this is their last chance.

Long Qi had no choice, so he mobilized his troops and started a continuous and overwhelming attack on Xingyang City. Up to now, he has been attacking continuously for nearly five hours.

Long Qie, Ying Bu, Peng Yue and Ji Bu are all fierce generals.Every time they attack, the four of them will take the lead and personally hold a large shield and stare at the locusts and flowing arrows that are all over the city wall and charge forward.

The actions of the four generals greatly inspired the morale of the rebel soldiers.The most important thing is that Long Qie has withdrawn all the miscellaneous soldiers and used the main force as the core of the siege.

Although Peng Yue was going to return to Handan, but thinking of his efforts before this battle, he also promised Yingbo and Longqie that he would fight again.

If he still can't break through the city, no matter who persuades him, he will lead the army to leave.

The other three also knew that this was already Peng Yue's biggest concession, so they agreed without further ado.

Within five hours.In addition to Longqi, the three of Yingbu climbed the city wall several times, especially Yingbu, who basically can climb the city wall every time.If it weren't for Wang Sen, Zhong Limei and others to use their soldiers to resist Yingbo's force, the city wall might have already been captured by Yingbo.

Even so, the southern city wall was the place with the most casualties among the four walls.

Now these soldiers of the Qin army lying on the ground have just driven Yingbu and the others off the city wall.And this hard-won rest was the only rest for the enemy troops in these five hours, and it seemed that they were also tired.

Under the city wall, large swaths of corpses of soldiers were piled up, layer after layer, nearly ten feet high, burying the entire city wall.

There was silence in Xingyang City, but there was a lot of noise outside the city.Obviously, the enemy forces outside the city are stepping up their deployment of troops.After this brief interval, the offensive might be more violent than before.

The Rolling Stones, Leimu and Huoyou in the city have long been used up.Including the crossbow bolts have been sold out!In the next hour, the soldiers of the Qin army were completely fighting the enemy.

Ying just walked in the aisle of the city wall with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The brocade boots were completely stained with blood and mud, and it was impossible to see their original appearance clearly.

Carefully stepping over a Qin soldier lying in the middle of the aisle.When Ying just landed, he accidentally touched the bronze sword half in his arms and half on the ground of the Qin army soldier. The Qin army soldier who had been sleeping soundly turned over immediately.

"enemy……"

Ying just covered the mouth of this Qin soldier who was about to open his mouth and shout "enemy attack", and made a "shh" gesture around his mouth.However, even if Hu Hai's movements are fast enough, the word "enemy" is not enough.It still woke up the Qin army soldiers who seemed to be sleeping soundly around them.

The soldiers of the Qin army who had been lying on the ground with their weapons in their arms jumped up one after another, rushed to the dilapidated wall with the weapons in their hands, and looked around vigilantly.

"Old Wang, you old boy and her mother are so unreasonable! What time is it, you are still joking! This traitor finally took a rest, I still hope to squint for a while, and hang a few more heads on it when he has enough energy It's on the belt. How the hell is he going to sleep when you make such a fuss?" A burly man whose movements didn't match his figure at all looked down at the empty city wall and said cursingly.

"That's right, old Wang, you're so fucking out of the way. I heard that the young master and the generals haven't slept yet..." A thin man next to the big man turned his head and saw the standing face Ying Gang, who was beside the aggrieved old Wang, stopped scolding abruptly.

All the soldiers on the city wall have seen Ying Gang.

Because Ying Gang was with them all the time during tonight's fight.

Different from before, when the battle started tonight, Ying Gang held a peerless sword and fought the enemy fiercely with the soldiers of the Qin army.

Wherever the sword's edge touched, all the enemy troops were defeated.

The most dangerous time, Yingbo had already led his army to stand firm on the city wall. Without Ying Gang, the city wall would have been completely lost at that time.

It can be said that after this battle, Ying Gang and the soldiers below have built an extremely stalwart figure.

"See you, Master. I forgive you, Master." The lean man was so shocked that he knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists.

Ying just saw the soldiers of the Qin army who were sleeping soundly around the city wall get up one after another because of the loud voice, and secretly thought, well, he also wanted to sneak up to see how the soldiers on the city wall were doing.I didn't think about it, but woke up all these soldiers. If I knew it, I shouldn't come up.

"You don't need to be too polite. I just came up to see you, and you continue to sleep." Ying just stopped when he saw the soldiers of the Qin army surrounded by him preparing to salute.

Hearing Ying Gang's words, the soldiers who got up all lay down on the ground again, but the excited eyes clearly told Ying Gang that no one would be able to fall asleep again.

"My lord, why are you here again?"

At this time, the school lieutenant in charge of the western city wall rushed up after receiving the report from the personal guards.

"I just wanted to come up and take a look. How are the casualties?"

The battle had just stopped. Although Ying Gang was very tired, he still went straight to the city wall.He wanted to know how many casualties the Qin army had suffered in these five hours, and he had received exact reports.

"Master Hui, on the south wall, there are only about 2 intact soldiers! Add up all the other walls, and we only have [-] intact soldiers left!"

"Where are the people in Chengwu?" Although Ying Gang had expected heavy casualties from the wounded soldiers everywhere in the city, he didn't expect it to be so heavy.

"The common people counted nearly [-] casualties!"

"so much?"

Ying just cried out in surprise.
