The gloomy rain gradually enveloped the sky over the battlefield, and the drizzle dropped silently, mixed with endless blood. In the chilling autumn, the atmosphere ushered in an increasingly cold and lonely atmosphere.
The shadows of tall black towers in Jinyang City are vaguely visible. The fog shrouded the sky, and it was hard to tell whether it was the mist of the rain curtain in the sky or the heavy smoke of gunpowder.
Up and down the city wall, arrows were flying in all directions, and in the gray rain and fog, rockets were flying all over the sky, dragging black smoke. The deafening shouts never stopped for a moment, and the sound of "buzzing..." between heaven and earth never stopped.
The moat had been blocked at some point and was divided into sections of stagnant water. The water was piled with dead people, weapons, wheels, wheelbarrows, broken pieces of wood... It was as turbid as the air at this time.
But the turbid rain seemed unable to dampen the blood of the soldiers, and the people were still roaring happily.
The Qin army was supported by the coalition forces of Wei and Han, and was able to gather its scattered forces into one place. With the superiority in numbers, the situation of the battle finally changed slightly.
Sima Cuo looked forward. With his eyesight, he could faintly see that the wall on the left side of Jinyang was already in chaos, with swords and guns dancing wildly. Qin and Zhao were fighting each other at hand-to-hand combat.
It was obvious that a group of Qin soldiers rushed to the top of the city, and the melee caused the crossbows on the left side of the Zhao army to stop.
Sima Cuo raised his head and glanced at the gray sky again, wiped the rain off his face, gritted his teeth secretly, took a wooden shield from the deputy general's hand, took a deep breath, and shouted towards Sakon: "Second and third sons, Come with me!"
Then he rode his horse first and ran towards the front line where the flesh and blood were burning.
When the soldiers of the Qin army heard the noise, they couldn't help but look around and saw a group of elite cavalry running behind them. A black flag with the Chinese character "Qin" written on it was flying in the wind and rain. The general in the blood-red cloak shouted personally every time he passed a square formation: "Whoever captures Jinyang has the greatest merit. A man should serve his country with his own life and make great achievements in this one move! The king will not hesitate to reward the one who climbs the city first." .”
When the nearby Qin army officers saw the Chinese general coming to the battlefield, they immediately waved their swords excitedly and shouted: "Make a great contribution! Make a great contribution!"
"Kill! Kill..." All the soldiers shouted with all their strength. The glory of military achievements and the struggle for survival made the Qin army's courage shine like a flashback.
"Woo..." The high-pitched trumpets sounded again and the war drums thundered, inspiring the Qin army soldiers to charge regardless of death!
"Ah!" A Qin soldier had just climbed up the wall from the slope with a pile of dead people. He was immediately stabbed by several Zhao soldiers who had been waiting for a long time with their spears. The flesh and blood in the Qin soldier's abdomen suddenly shot out.
The soldiers were covered in blood but didn't care. They grabbed the enemy's gun barrels with both hands and used their bodies to open the way for the Qin army behind them.
The soldiers of the Qin army at the front of the slope rushed towards the wall stack with all their might, and in an instant several more were stabbed over by spears. A soldier pressed his gun and shield against the wall, and the man climbed up. As soon as he climbed over the wall, he was stabbed in the face by a Zhao soldier with a forked and sharpened bamboo pole. The soldier's face immediately turned into flesh and blood, and he screamed. A lung-splitting scream.
There was a "bang", and there was a sound of strings in the noisy sound, and an arrow feather was almost inserted into the Zhao soldier's head. The Zhao soldier fell on his back without even making a sound.
The Qin soldier who was poked in the face screamed and jumped over the wall!
But he was immediately surrounded by many soldiers from Zhao, who started to stab him indiscriminately. At this time, two Qin soldiers holding spears and shields jumped up again desperately.
Sima mistakenly spotted an empty space, held a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other and stretched over the wall. He pressed his arm on the edge of the wall and climbed up easily and quickly. Then he immediately turned back and shouted: "You two and three sons, follow me and kill!" "
"kill!"
"Whoosh!" Sima Cuo suddenly turned around and saw a Qin Army soldier in front of him whose shoulder armor had been deformed and an arrow had been inserted into his arm. However, his organs were obviously not damaged. The soldier was still holding his long Sword, shouting loudly, he rushed towards the enemy soldiers. He did not dodge the sword or gun at all, he just rushed towards an enemy soldier and slashed the person to death, but he himself was quickly stabbed to the ground.
The soldiers in Jinyang are all the elites of Zhao State. They have fought many battles with Qin State, but they have never seen a scene like today. This life-threatening momentum can't help but frighten people.
Originally keeping a firm pace, as more and more Qin troops rushed to the city, Zhao Jun could not help but retreat.
Under the charge of the Qin army soldiers regardless of their own safety.
Under the personal leadership of Sima Cuo, the right concubine commander, a team of one hundred people finally occupied the wall in front of them.
As soon as the slope wall was lost, more Qin soldiers took advantage of the situation and came up. Zhao Jun, who was at the end of his strong crossbow, gradually lost ground and collapsed to the right.
Zhao Jun's reinforcement tower is over there, and Zhao Jun's reinforcements will come soon.
Although Sima Cuo was not very old, he had studied under famous masters and had been on the battlefield for many years, so he knew what to do at this time. He spotted the opening and immediately shouted: "Array!"
At this time, more than half of his one hundred personal guards had been lost, and there were not many generals left under his command. Fortunately, he was still alive, and all the soldiers obeyed his orders and reluctantly gathered into a square formation.
At this time, because there was no Zhao army to harass behind, another Qin Army Hundred Houses Team also came over from the slope here one after another.
Under his organization, the Qin army formed a horizontal formation, with shields in front and the soldiers behind them raising their spears. They slowly watched the Zhao army rush towards the formation!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." A volley of crossbows fired from the city wall. The arrows hit the shields and armor of the Qin army and made a clanging sound. From time to time, some people screamed and fell to the ground.
The road on the city wall is quite spacious and can accommodate at least two chariots in parallel. The two armies were crowded together and fighting, and the Qin army quickly gained the upper hand and continued to advance to the south.
Sima Cuo took a tattered, blood-stained military flag with the word "Qin" written on it from the hands of the generals beside him, shouted loudly, and rushed toward the dense Zhao reinforcements.
Qin Jun's black armor, Zhao Jun's red armor and stomach, ice and fire collided again.
The morale of the Qin army, which had just entered the city, was at its peak. Regardless of whether the enemy was strong or we were few, they shouted and rushed forward when they saw this.
Qin and Zhao suddenly came into contact with each other. The shields collided with each other, and the shining sword blades greeted each other. People on both sides were very crowded, "Ah..." Someone was pushed down from the city gate tower by his colleagues!
Sima Cuo clenched the military flag in his hand with one hand and raised his voice to encourage morale: "The second and third sons are bravely killing the enemy. All the old Qin people in the city are watching. The Qin State will definitely praise you...kill them!"
"kill!"
But at this time, the sky was gray, the rain lines were mixed with smoke, and the Qin troops outside the city were busy rushing up, and who could care about each other.
A steady stream of soldiers from Zhao came from the city.
When Sima Cuo was breathing heavily, he glanced at Jinyang City on the left and was immediately dumbfounded.
On the north and south avenues, dense crowds of people were slowly surging toward the West City.
There are also groups of spearmen on both sides, with spears standing as densely as a forest. The Zhao army in Jinyang City is not necessarily less dense than the Qin army attacking the city! Sure enough, as Zuo Shuchang expected, Zhao Jun gathered all the soldiers from the nearby city to Jinyang.
Just when Sima Cuo was lost in thought, "Woo... Wu..." a high-pitched and rapid horn sound suddenly sounded outside the city, accompanied by bursts of harsh metal knocking sounds.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army were all stunned!
At the same time, as if the generals of the Zhao army had received some news, a loud shout suddenly broke out in the military formation, and the Zhao army's formation suddenly pushed towards the Qin army as if they were desperate.
…
Outside the city, the Qin army formed a large formation.
Ying Ji stared at the battle in the distance, and it seemed that even the dense rain lines could not cover his keen eyes.
With the joining of the Wei and Han coalition forces, the situation gradually began to develop in Qin's favor!
Jinyang! No matter how impregnable it is, it can never withstand the joint attack of hundreds of thousands of troops from Qin, Wei, and Han!
"Report! General, the right concubine commander has led his men to attack the west city of Jinyang!" the scout reported.
All the generals were shocked. They attacked the city in just one day? Zhao Jun was so powerful and relied on the strong fortifications of Jinyang City. In less than a day... Ying Ji suddenly felt that although he had never underestimated Sima Cuo, he had still underestimated him.

If Jinyang City can really be conquered in one battle, Sima Cuo should take the greatest credit.
Sure enough, Sima Cuo, who was full of resentment at this time, was suitable for such a brainless fight!
"Okay! Hahahahahaha! What a Sima Cuo!" Ying Ji shouted while stroking his palms.
Perhaps when this battle is over and the Zhao army is forced to offer their land, it should not be difficult to ask King Zhao to add a concubine in the harem.
"Hahahahaha!"
The rest of the people couldn't help but echo the praise, and praised it sincerely. They were cautious. If they were allowed to attack Jinyang City, they might not be able to capture the city in three days. Because Jinyang City, Zhongyang and Gengyang are not the same thing at all.
Ying Hua cupped his hands and said: "Chief Zuo, looking at this formation, the army may break through the city today!"
Ying Ji turned to look at his younger brother Ying Hua, who was looking excited. He knew that his younger brother had a temper that refused to admit defeat. Now that his former lieutenant had taken the first credit, he naturally wanted to take the credit.
"Yinghua, you lead five thousand troops to immediately reinforce Sima Cuo. You must help him capture Ximen..."
Before Ying Ji could finish his words, a horse suddenly came running from a distance.
The scout approached and reported: "Chief Zuo, the combined forces of Wei and Han have breached the east gate of Jinyang!"
What?
The generals listened to the scout's report with astonishment.
But soon, the expression on his face changed from surprise to surprise, and then to confusion.
With the fighting power of the Qin army, Sima Cuo's life-threatening attitude, and his attitude of killing a thousand enemies at the expense of a thousand and two, they had just reached the top of Jinyang City after a bloody battle. And he might even be taken back by Zhao Guo again.
How could the allied forces of Wei and Han enter the battlefield at the last step and break through the east gate in one day? Did Zhao put all its garrison forces at the west gate?
impossible.
Everyone present knew the fighting prowess of Wei and South Korea. If the two countries really have such strong fighting power, the one who defeated Yin and Jin was not Wei but Qin.
Something's wrong!
Maybe... something wasn't right from the beginning.
It's just that the generals of the Qin army have only reacted now, and it's obviously too late.
Yinghua thought carefully for a moment and said: "Chief Zuo, could it be that Zhao Guo deliberately lured the enemy deeper?"
"Probably not..." Ying Ji frowned.
Zhang Yi has never sent any more messages to him, so there should be no problem...
Before Yingji could send someone to find out more, several riders came running from a distance again.
Before the knight could approach, an anxious voice came: "Chief Zuo, the combined forces of Wei and Han are heading towards our main formation!"
What!
"Damn it! What are Zhu Wei and Han Yue doing again?" Ying Ji could no longer remain calm and began to question himself in a panic.
"Quickly ask General Wei and Han why they suddenly withdrew their troops!" Ying Ji immediately ordered.
"Here!" the scout turned around and rode away.
"Chief Zuo, the situation may have changed. Let's withdraw our troops first!" Ying Hua said anxiously. At this time, he vaguely smelled the smell of conspiracy. In the battle of Sangqiu, he was attacked by the Wei State's scheme, which caused him to go deep alone, thus causing the Qin army to defeat Qi State.
After Yingji heard this, he gritted his teeth secretly as he looked at the Qin soldiers who were still fighting in the distance.
"Retreat, Commander Zuo!" Yinghua urged.
"Wait a little longer!" Ying Ji was a little unwilling.
If we retreat at this time, the sacrifice of the soldiers will really be in vain!
But... the situation was obviously far more serious than he expected.
Before Yingji could make a decision, not far away from the flanks of the Qin army, the Wei and Han coalition forces had begun to divide into formations and move toward the Qin army.
A new war is about to begin!
The soldiers of the Qin army who had not yet received the news had no idea at this time that their allies, who had been advancing and retreating together just now, turned around and waved their spears and halberds towards them.
As the Wei and Han armies approached, the Qin army was not prepared at all. The scene suddenly became chaotic, blood and flesh were everywhere, and there were cries for fathers and mothers everywhere.
Before the Qin army could react, the towering city gate that had been unable to be stormed just now suddenly opened.
While the Qin army was still in a daze, the soldiers of the Zhao army who had been behind the gate for a long time, under Zhao An's order, came towards the Qin army like a wave.
"kill!"
"kill……"
The fighting spread from the top of the city to outside the city in an instant. The land was surrounded on three sides by the Qin army's fortifications. At this time, the Qin army was completely trapped in a cocoon.
Amidst the screams, the infantry of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, which had long been out of formation, charged directly into the Qin army with weapons such as spears, swords and shields.
A torrent of infantry, carrying the colorful cavalry in their armor and stomach, surged up towards the Qin people.
Many people fell to the ground and never got up again.
There was a complete chaos outside the city. People were struggling, shouting, and wrestling on the ground. It seemed that everyone was shouting, and the sound was deafening.
There was a "boom", and suddenly a cloud of dust rose up, and a ladder collapsed. The Qin soldiers who were still on the ladder suddenly screamed and fell into the smoke. The bright sword light is looming, and it cuts down the people it catches.
The flanks of the Qin army collapsed in less than half an hour, and the defeated troops gradually fled towards the west gate of Jinyang where the Chinese army was located.
Ying Ji looked at the Qin soldiers who were being chased with tears in his eyes, and shouted with a trembling tone: "Ming Jin, blow the trumpet!"
"Yinghua, immediately lead ten thousand soldiers to cover the retreating soldiers! Go quickly!"
"Here!"
