"Kill, let me attack with all my strength. Break the Qin army's camp. Just today, let me kill them hard."
Cao Wudao gave the order again.
The messengers went to convey the order, and groups of Qi soldiers continued to attack again. Even though more and more Qi soldiers were blocked in front due to the obstruction of trenches and deep pits, the soldiers still pushed forward at the risk.
It's just that the speed of this advancement is much slower, and even every step is accumulated with the lives of soldiers.
Zhao Feixiong looked at the large number of Qi soldiers gathered outside the camp. Looking at the crowds of heads, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Commander, the Qi army has gathered. More and more people are gathering together. We can use the catapult to counterattack."
"Use it."
Lin Feng nodded and answered.
The defensive equipment and other equipment in the army are sufficient, and now Zhao Feixiong's defenses are also extremely complete.
"Catapult, attack."
Zhao Feixiong ordered again.
Catapults were prepared, and as the catapults came forward, clay pots filled with kerosene were placed on the catapults. Immediately afterwards, the torch came forward and lit the linen stuffed in the seal of the clay pot.
The fire roared, the catapults were thrown rapidly, and the clay pots flew out. The advantage of using a clay pot is that if it falls and is bumped, it will easily break, and the kerosene in the pot will spill out in a blink of an eye.
When linen is blocked in the mouth of a clay pot and soaked in kerosene, it ignites and is difficult to extinguish.
Just like this, the role of deep pits and trenches is revealed. When large numbers of enemies gather together, due to temporary congestion, the crowd gathers, and fire attacks can be effective.
Bang! Bang!
The lever of the catapult continuously ejected clay pots one after another.
In an instant, the clay pot was flying in the air, and in a blink of an eye it landed where Qi soldiers gathered.
boom! !
The clay pot hit the soldier and shattered immediately.
Wow!
The greasy fire oil spilled down and flowed to the ground.
call! !
The burning linen cloth ignited the kerosene. Even the soldiers of Qi were splashed with kerosene and ignited when touched by sparks.
boom! boom! boom! ! !
More and more pottery pots were broken and the fire was burning. Many Qi soldiers were on fire and ran around in panic. Under this wave of offensive, countless Qi soldiers were greatly affected. Many of them kept wailing and running around, causing more and more Qi soldiers to be injured.
The screams continued one after another.
Qi's offensive was greatly affected.
Although the fire did not spread, even if it did not form a sea of fire, the burning fire made the entire battlefield situation completely turbulent.
Qi's offensive was temporarily weak.
This scene quickly spread back to Cao Wudao, and his face turned pale.
The Qin army was very well prepared.
First the bow and arrow, then the crossbow, and then the fire attack. Coupled with the impact of the trenches and deep pits, Qi soldiers were unable to break through in a short period of time. However, Qi soldiers were continuously shot after gathering together.
The existence of deep pits and trenches is even more critical, and they are great weapons for fighting. The deep pit blocked the crowd, causing Qin's first three projection attacks to explode with maximum power.
Its offensive is unparalleled in its power.
Cao Wudao also hesitated for a while. Their troops had already encountered obstacles and suffered heavy losses before they reached the Qin army's camp. Cao Wudao did not immediately order a withdrawal, but ordered a fierce attack again.
After the order was issued, Cao Wudao said seriously: "Your Majesty, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, we can only use ruthless measures."
Tian He ordered: "What kind of cruel move?"
Cao Wudao said seriously: "There must be brave men under heavy rewards. If you want to encourage soldiers, you must give heavy rewards. The last general suggested that all soldiers should be ordered to kill one person and be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you kill two people, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If you kill three people, you will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." The reward is forty taels of silver, and for killing four people, the reward is eighty taels of silver, and so on, with no upper limit."
"In addition, if you kill more than five enemies, your official rank will be promoted to one level. If you kill more than ten enemies, your official rank will be promoted to three ranks, and you will be awarded a viscount."
"Now that this battle has begun, no matter how high the price is, we must win."
"Use heavy rewards and gifts to encourage soldiers. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for soldiers to get titles while fighting on the battlefield. This battle gives them a chance. In addition, there are rewards and money. As long as this If you receive a big reward, everyone will definitely fight for it.”
"That's right!"
Tian He's eyes were sharp and he answered directly.
For Tian He, it was just some money and a little title. As long as this battle can be won, Tian He will do whatever it takes.
Cao Wudao obtained the emperor's permission and once again arranged for the messenger to shout.
Orders were passed quickly one by one, and the Qi soldiers on the front line became excited after receiving Cao Wudao's instructions.
The officers and soldiers in the army do not receive much pay, which can even be said to be meager. Working in the military, being able to keep yourself fed and earn some money to support your family at the same time is already a great achievement. Nowadays, one person is worth ten taels of silver, which is not a small amount.
For an ordinary family, they cannot spend so much money in a year. If you kill two or three people, you will be rewarded even more.
There is even a chance to get a knighthood.
"Kill, behead Qin Dog."
In the Qi army, some soldiers shouted loudly and rushed forward with their swords in hand.
"Charge and break the Qin army's camp."
"Kill, fight in!"
"Break the Qin army's camp, the credit is at hand, kill!"
More and more Qi soldiers rushed forward, shouting and roaring. The momentum of Qi's soldiers, after falling into a trough, completely exploded into a different combat effectiveness at this moment. The entire army's offensive is getting stronger and more violent.
Forty steps!
Thirty steps!
The distance between the two sides has shortened to about twenty steps, which is extremely close to the camp.
It can even be quite dangerous.
The pressure on the Qin army suddenly increased.
Zhao Feixiong raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene. From the beginning of the war to now, the fighting time has been less than two quarters of an hour. It was still far from the hour and a half of fighting. If you want to further stabilize the situation and delay the arrival of reinforcements, you must fight to the death.
"Shield soldiers, prepare to step forward."
Zhao Feixiong gave the order.
After giving the order, soldiers wearing armor quickly stepped forward.
Immediately following the presence of the shield soldiers, the pike soldiers followed closely behind, directly forming a pike formation. In such a situation, the only option is to adopt a defensive strategy. If they attack directly, there are still 3,000 Qi cavalry outside, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the Qin army.
Therefore, we have to defend for the time being.
Twenty steps!
Ten steps!
The distance between the two sides has been shortened to about ten steps. Countless Qi soldiers swarmed over and had already crossed the deep trench. These surging Qi soldiers came up in large numbers, approached the camp, and quickly rushed in.
Fortunately, the shield soldiers in the army are all well-trained. One by one, Qin's shield soldiers stepped forward, and with their shields resisting, the pikemen behind them thrust out their long spears. The bright spear tips shone with a cold light, and pierced into the Qi soldiers.
Phew! Phew!
One after another, the spears were pierced into the body, and then quickly pulled out, bringing out a shower of blood.
The first batch of Qi soldiers who approached were killed one after another, followed closely by a large number of Qi soldiers who approached.
Qin's spearmen continued to attack steadily, constantly drawing out their spears and stabbing them out again, in a cycle, cold and emotionless.
The fighting begins.
The two sides started a hand-to-hand battle at the entrance of the camp.
More and more Qi soldiers are approaching, putting increasing pressure on Qin soldiers. Under strong pressure, as time passed, the pressure on the Qin army gradually reached its limit.
Finally, the defense line collapsed, and soldiers of the Qi army broke through the defense line and rushed into the spear formation.
Fortunately, the soldiers worked hard and quickly killed the Qi soldiers who had torn apart the defense line, replenished their troops and restored the spear formation.
This kind of fighting began to continue, and people continued to tear through the defense line and break into the Qin army's formation. The soldiers of the Qin army gritted their teeth and counterattacked quickly, killing the enemy and returning to their formation. The tug-of-war continued, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The Qin army lost more than a thousand troops, but everyone was still resisting despite Lin Feng's banner.
The offensive on the Qi side became more and more fierce, vowing to defeat the Qin army in one battle.
Lin Feng saw the situation on the battlefield in his eyes. He changed his mind and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Feixiong, you will be responsible for the command next. I will personally participate in the fight, blocking the front and attracting the main force. At the same time, share the army The pressure of the array.”
"You can't be handsome."
Zhao Feixiong quickly reminded that he was worried about Lin Feng's safety and said: "As long as the commander is safe, everything will be fine. We are temporarily exhausted, but we can still resist. If the commander personally participates in the battle and falls into the army, it will be very dangerous. Besides, Our soldiers can hold on for only about half an hour."
"It won't last this long."
Lin Feng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great. We have suffered too many casualties and our resistance is getting weaker and weaker. Without strong support, we will soon collapse completely. Now, we can only It was me who went up in person to boost morale.”
"Don't worry, I am not afraid of these people because of my strength. If there are no reinforcements, I will be worried. But if there are reinforcements, I am not afraid."
"Come here, bring me my drum, urn, and golden hammer."
Lin Feng gave the order.
When fighting on the battlefield, Lin Feng was accustomed to using drums, urns, and golden hammers. The hammer has strong attack power and can sweep away a large area. Just relying on slashing with a sword is too inefficient.
He ignored Zhao Feixiong, took the drum, urn and golden hammer, and entered the spear array. Lin Feng moved forward quickly and reached the front in a blink of an eye. He stood behind the shield soldiers, took one step out of the shield soldiers' defense, and stood in front of the shield soldiers.
"All shield soldiers, obey the order and defend with all your strength."
Lin Feng's voice, rich and resonant, echoed around, even suppressing some of the shouts of killing. Lin Feng continued: "Pikemen, stab and kill with all your strength. This commander is here, fighting in front, and would rather die than retreat. "
Lin Fengren was at the front, sweeping out the drum, urn, and golden hammer in his hand.
