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

Chapter 473
Chapter 483
As the siege ladder was put on the city wall, outside the city, the rumbling drums of the Qin army, which had just stopped not long ago, suddenly sounded again.

As long as the ladder is on the city wall, anyone who is not a fool will know that Qin Jun will definitely climb up the city wall along the ladder immediately.

If the Qin army wants to attack the city, it means that the Qin army's large continuous shooting crossbow machine, which has been roaring and flying around, will naturally not attack again.

After all, if the Qin army attacked when it was climbing the city, the Qin army outside the city wall would be the first to be injured.

"Quick! The people of Qin are about to attack the city, and they don't know how to shoot arrows anymore. Hurry up and knock down all these ladders. Throw them down with rolling stones!"

As the leading lieutenant, Cen Peng, the captain of Changsha, got up, kicked and kicked the Chu soldiers who were still lying on the ground trembling, and shouted loudly.

But despite his shouting, only a few trembling Chu soldiers got up.

These people were on the battlefield for the first time, seeing a real war for the first time.

A wave of giant crossbow arrows whistling from below the city, and the screams of their companions before their death rang out on the city wall, completely wiped out their courage that was so hard to muster before.

Cen Peng used his copper sword to chop off several soldiers of the Chu army who were huddled under the city wall, and the guards on the city wall finally got up shyly, half-squatting and carefully stood with the weapons in their hands. Arrived at the position of guarding the city.

At this time, it stands to reason that bows and arrows should be used.However, these ordinary people who have just become soldiers, let alone how many people can really draw bows and arrows, the current Chu State does not even have enough bows and arrows, let alone use them for these soldiers who are obviously cannon fodder. .

A long ladder was placed on the top of the city, and Cen Peng looked around, only to find that there was no Qin army climbing up, but Ju stepped back more than ten steps, covering his body firmly with a huge shield.

"Buzz!"

The terrifying hum that made one's scalp tingle suddenly sounded from behind the phalanx of infantry in the siege, and with the hum of trembling air, a large black cloud rose into the sky from the dark formation of the Qin army .

Huge dark clouds climbed over the walls of Anfeng City in an instant, and then plummeted down with a sharp whistling sound.

The invincible crossbow of the Qin people, after more than ten years, once again showed its unparalleled demeanor in the south of the Yangtze River.

When the buzz sounded, the soldiers of the Chu army who had just got up and were about to push the ladder on the city wall raised their heads involuntarily to see what it was.

The dark clouds fell like lightning, visible to the naked eye. In the dark clouds, there were countless sharp arrows shining in the sunlight.

The moment they heard the sharp whistling sound, all the conditions for Chu's troops to leave the country reacted.
Like a shot, he quickly curled up again and hid under the corner of the wall.

However, what came this time was not a huge crossbow fired from below, but tens of thousands of small three-edged crossbow arrows that were only a few inches long.

A section of the city wall that is no more than a hundred feet long, with [-] to [-] crossbow arrows gathered, how many dead ends can there be.

At the moment the buzz sounded, Xiang Yi had already closed his eyes.

No one could escape the Qin army's powerful crossbow attack under such circumstances.

Even if Chu's most elite Jiangdong disciples are here, they can only defend passively.What's more, the mob in Changsha City who want shields but no shields, and strong bows but no strong bows.

Cen Peng knew that he still underestimated Qin Jun's combat power.Or in other words, he overestimated the combat power of the soldiers in Changsha City.

Countless sharp crossbow arrows several inches in size fell like rain on the section of the city wall where Cen Peng was.

The sound of crossbow arrows tearing armor, clothing, and flesh penetrating into the human body was endless, but howls were extremely rare. Many soldiers of the Chu army often turned into hedgehogs and died before they could utter their screams.

With the fall of Cen Peng, who was full of crossbow arrows, all the last resistance forces in Changsha City were completely destroyed.

The siege soldiers didn't wait too long, and after the five thousand crossbowmen finished firing, they climbed up the city wall along the ladders that had been set up earlier.

The two heavy armored cavalry cruising on the left and right flanks of the Qin army's formation moved towards both sides of the city gate one after another, and began to clear the Chu army soldiers on the remaining two sections of the city wall with their strong crossbows.

The Qin army successfully boarded the city wall of Changsha with zero casualties.

The infantry of the Qin army who climbed up the city wall, without stopping at all, quickly followed the corridor of the city wall towards the bottom of the city wall to kill the general.The next thing they have to do is to open the gate of Changsha City.

The Qin army's infantry who climbed up the city wall followed along the west city wall and killed the two city walls in the north and south.

Wherever they passed, countless soldiers of the Chu army fled desperately, and no one dared to resist.

In less than an hour, the entire city of Changsha fell into Zhang Han's hands.

In this battle, the total casualties of the Qin army were no more than a hundred.

The [-] guarding Chu army in Changsha City, except for the thousands of soldiers who were shot and killed by crossbow arrows during the siege, beheaded by the Qin army who climbed the city wall, and trampled to death when they fled for their lives, there were nearly [-] soldiers. People who have automatically put down their weapons without being reminded by the Xuanwu Army will become prisoners.

Except for the prefect of Changsha and Cen Peng, the Changsha school lieutenant who died in battle, all other officials, large and small, were captured in one go.

Seeing that the Changsha prefect couldn't resist, when everyone was not paying attention, he went down the city wall and led a few relatives to open the city gate and escape secretly.

Zhang Han did not enter the city. While ordering people to clean up the battlefield, he sent a large number of soldiers to appease the panic-stricken Changsha people.

After everything was in place, 500 infantry were left to guard, and he quickly moved eastward, heading directly towards the Lujiang area.

In Zhang Han's view, capturing Changsha City is not a challenge at all.

However, a large number of prisoners of war from the Chu army brought him unexpected news, that is, there are only more than [-] defenders in the territory of Chu, and most of them are miscellaneous troops.

There are only 6 or [-] Chu troops in Shouchun City, and the guards are still unknown people like Xiang Bo.

This is simply a great achievement that fell from the sky.

Zhang Han's face was full of joy.

Isn't the credit for breaking Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, not great enough?
When the Qin army broke through Changsha City, all news was blocked in place, so that the downstream Chu army had no knowledge of the situation of the Qin army's surprise attack.

When Zhang Han's army continued to attack Lujiang and was only a few hundred miles away from Shouchun, Zhaotong and Jinggong attacked.Qu Ping and others were still undecided on whether to send troops to aid Shouchun.There are [-] troops stationed in Shouchun City, and there is enough food and so on. It seems that they can last for two or three days.

The army in their hands has all been transferred to Xiang Yu's command, and their own family background is not much, so it is really unnecessary to fight all of them.

Besides, Xiang Bo's strength is not bad, maybe he can still stop the Qin army.

But they don't know that not only are Xiang Bo's hands full of wine bags and rice bags, but also the relationship between him and Qin is still unclear.
