The rebel army still has 5,000 people and about 400 artillery pieces, which still poses a huge threat, but we don't have many artillery shells anymore.
"How much longer?" Sun Li asked the soldiers next to him.
"A quarter of an hour, as long as we hold on for a quarter of an hour, the general will surely arrive."
"Okay, a quarter of an hour, okay!"
Looking at the cannonballs in the hands of the two hundred soldiers, he felt cruel, pointed at the rebel army, and shouted: "We, the warriors of Great Qin, are about to attack the city now, and the east city is in danger, but no matter what, with us here, we will never We cannot let them succeed. The city is still alive but the people are still there, but the city is broken and people are dead.”
"Hoo ho ho!"
As Sun Li spoke vigorously, the fighting spirit of the soldiers rippled throughout the city.
"Two hundred artillery shells are ready to be fired. We, the Qin Dynasty's five thousand warriors, are ready to go out of the city to fight. They will protect our city wall to the death and never let the bandits break through the east city."
At this moment, after this round of cannonballs are fired, there is no longer anything that can threaten the rebel army. If the general has not arrived yet, what he will face will be the rebel army blasting through the city wall.
He would never allow this to happen. If he wanted to protect the city wall, the only way was to go into battle and block the artillery with his flesh and blood.
"kill!"
The city gate was opened wide, and under the leadership of Sun Li, two thousand crossbowmen, one thousand archers, and two thousand infantrymen, eight hundred of whom carried grenades in their hands, rushed out with great violence.
The five thousand troops marched forward bravely with the momentum of facing death.
The shield is in front, with grenades in hand, followed by crossbowmen. Five hundred crossbow carts are loaded with crossbow arrows, two thousand crossbowmen are driving, and the archers are behind, guarding every step forward.
Sun Li stood on the chariot, holding the flag high and shouting to advance.
Facing four hundred artillery pieces, such a counterattack was like a moth flying into a flame, but they did not flinch, and there was no way out. If they could not buy time for the general, they would only face the destruction of the city and the death of people.
It was worth it to exchange five thousand troops for Xianyang's persistence.
A hundred feet away, Wu Guang and Zhao Ke, who had reacted in the chaos, saw the Qin army coming in force and were momentarily paused. The first thought in their minds was that the Qin army had a big killer.
But the sharp-eyed Zhao Ke saw the fishiness in it and showed joy.
"Brother Wu, the Qin army will definitely be defeated. Now is the time to fight against the enemy. Our opportunity has come."
Wu Guang quickly looked into the distance and saw that the Qin army only had a few thousand people. There were shields in front, crossbowmen behind, archers behind, and nothing else. Then he was overjoyed.
"Sure enough, the Qin army's terrifying weapons have been exhausted, haha!"
This is not a random guess on his part.
If the Qin army still had black weapons, there was no need for them to risk going out of the city to fight. After all, if they fired those things on the city wall, their own casualty rate would be almost zero, and if they went to fight, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Everyone will choose the former, unless they have poor skills.
"Come here, get ready immediately, fire the artillery, and destroy them all."
Wu Guang and Zhao Ke gave orders in unison.
After the previous wave of bombings, the artillery troops fell into chaos. After the centurions issued the orders, each of the artillery troops took action.
Loading gunpowder, inserting projectiles, and adjusting the distance are all very skillful operations.
This scene was all seen by the two centurions on the city wall. They were the commanders of the 200 troops who still had 200 anti-aircraft shells.
At this moment, both of their faces became serious, and their eyes were full of determination and worry.
"Brothers, our Great Qin warriors are in danger. We can't let them fall into danger. Aim for me and blast hard to buy time for the general."
"emission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two hundred artillery shells bombarded the rebel artillery.
"Why are there still more?" Zhao Ke broke into a sweat when he saw the black dot coming again, and quickly pulled Wu Guang back to avoid it.
Boom boom boom!
Two hundred shells hit the artillery concentration area, and the projectiles they were about to launch were also destroyed, causing thousands of people to fall to the ground in an instant.
Zhao Ke, who was lying on the ground, saw this scene, their expressions were full of ferocity. At this time, another hundred artillery pieces were lost, and a lot of gunpowder was destroyed. The power generated by the explosion directly destroyed hundreds of troops. .
"Brother Wu, we can't delay any longer. We must give them a fatal blow, otherwise our troops will be reduced and we will be defeated in the end."
Wu Guang nodded. Under such circumstances, victory can only be achieved by defying everything. The task given to them by Xiang Gong must also be won, otherwise they will also die.
"Fire and kill them!" Regardless of the elegance of his words, Wu Guang jumped up from the ground, waved the command flag, and ordered the artillery, which was in chaos again, to take action.
After several chaos, the artillerymen were no longer as unbearable as before and immediately returned to the artillery.
At this moment, the 5,000 troops led by Sun Li were already 280 steps away from the rebels. As long as they advanced another 30 steps, they would fire their crossbows and they would not be so passive.
But the rebels didn't seem to give them this chance. The artillery fire came, and 300 projectiles were fired at the same time, which was very violent.
"Shield block, be sure to block."
Sun Li's face changed with shock, he stared at the projectile with sharp eyes, and waved his flag.
The shields closed together to form a turtle-shaped defensive shield, and the two thousand infantrymen maintained their formation, kicking their legs back, praying to block the blow and buy more time.
Bang bang bang!
Three hundred projectiles hit the shield hard.
The projectiles are two large lead bullets weighing 30, and are supplemented by small lead bullets and small stones. They are extremely powerful and extremely lethal.
As soon as it came into contact, the shield completely collapsed, and the impact of the lead bullets continued to rush towards the infantry, hitting an individual, causing screams and countless people vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
"It's so scary!" Sun Li, who was heavily protected in the middle, looked at it with dazzling eyes. He clenched his hands tightly and his veins appeared.
In his eyes, streaks of fiery red blood burst to the entire eyeball.
"Steady, must steady!"
He roared, wishing he could go into battle to block it all, but he didn't have the ability.
Suddenly, more than half of the infantry suffered casualties.
"Crossbowman, charge, charge me to 250 steps, and let me go hard."
Crossbows can only be effective within the range of 250 steps, which is not yet the case.
At this moment, he no longer cared about whether it would cause more casualties. He wanted to fight for the last moment to stop the bandits from advancing.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the rebels are getting closer and closer to the city wall. If they are allowed to free their hands to bombard the city wall, with such power, the city wall cannot be saved. By then, their 20,000 troops will attack Xianyang and they will definitely break through.
"General, it's up to you."
Sun Li narrowed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and shouted: "Everyone rush, be sure to block the rebel artillery and fight for the last chance for the general."
Bang bang bang!
Another round of projectiles came, hitting the crowd hard. People kept falling down, but some people still rushed forward. The crossbowmen gave up their lives, the archers were not afraid of the projectiles, and the remaining infantrymen were filled with sadness and started to fight again. Go into battle.
At this moment, they forgot the existence of life, the tiger and wolf artillery in front of them, and the burial place waiting for them.
Bang bang bang! Another round, more people fell, but they still rushed.
The crossbowmen reached the shooting range and fired hundreds of arrows. However, too many people were lost and the power was suddenly reduced. In addition, the bandits pulled out the iron plates upon seeing this, and the attack power was not good.
This is a dead end, an invincible situation.
Sun Lida was at the forefront. The ruthless stone took away one of his arms, but he still held a strong hand, holding a flag in his hand, symbolizing that they had not fallen.
This was a tragic battlefield, a brutal massacre, but they still persisted.
They have rushed to the range of a hundred steps, but there are only a few hundred people left who can move, only a few can shoot, and only dozens of bows and arrows can shoot.
In a short period of time, thousands of people lost their lives, and hundreds more faced the possibility of imminent death.
This is a hymn to life and the ruthlessness of war.
They were brave enough to make sacrifices, just to gain that little bit of time.
Wu Guang was horrified when he saw all this. What was horrifying was not the weapons of the Qin army, but their fighting spirit to move forward bravely and regard death as a return, which frightened and chilled him.
Is this the Qin Army? He couldn't believe it, but as the opponent, he would never feel pity.
"Prepare the firecrackers and destroy them all." Wu Guangda roared
"Yes, destroy them all." Zhao Ke agreed ruthlessly.
Suddenly, hundreds of gunmen came out, loaded their gunpowder, and aimed at the Qin army.
Seeing this scene, Sun Li, who was in the front, smiled sternly and suddenly let out a shocking roar.
"General, Sun Li can only do so much. I have not lost Xianyang. Our five thousand troops have tried their best."
It is so heart-wrenching, so tragic and generous, it makes people cry.
I don't hesitate to die first, and my successors will comfort Jiuquan frequently.
Perhaps, this sentence can describe them well.
Sun Li closed his eyes, but he still held the flag high, and his determination to defend his country to the death bathed the entire sky.
"Go to hell!" Zhao Ke showed a ferocious look and threw down the flag fiercely.
Bah!
The fuse was lit, and the ruthless fire burned with a cruel light, hissing.
But, at this moment, black spots suddenly passed across the sky, like densely packed bats, fanning the light of destruction, and trailing long black smoke at their tails, piercing the sky.
Swish, swish, and swish are all over the place, causing fear and joy.
Sun Li noticed something unusual and opened his eyes suddenly. What he saw was what he saw. It was artillery shells, many, many, enough to blow up everyone, enough to destroy the remaining artillery pieces.
It was the general. The general finally succeeded in the sneak attack, and the anti-aircraft guns worked perfectly.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The continuous sound was so sweet and scary. It exploded among the bandit army, and countless screams resounded throughout the countryside.
Then, there was a 'click-click' sound from behind, and nothing could survive. No one could escape.
The remaining warriors opened their eyes, and when they saw this scene, they all breathed a heavy sigh of relief, their bodies softened, and they all sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
But, it's the joy of joy.
"General, you are finally here. Sun Li has lived up to your expectations." Sun Li's smile was so bright that he looked up to the sky and passed out without any worries.
Facing all this alone, his mind was very tense, and once he was released, it would engulf him in a coma.
He is too tired.
It was the two thousand elites led by Li Zhao who fired the cannonballs. After making a big circle, they successfully avoided the rebel scouts, appeared behind, and used the last cannonball to destroy all the rebel artillery.
Seeing Sun Li fainting and dying, seeing the remaining warriors gasping for breath, seeing the blood all over the ground along the way, seeing the broken limbs and eyes that were closed forever.
Li Zhao lowered his head, his eyes were red, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Elites, I'm late, I'm sorry for you." He imitated the soldiers in his previous life and gave a deep military salute. The elites behind him didn't know what this action was, but seeing the general like this, they also saluted awkwardly. received a military salute.
His face was full of pain.
The wind blew away, dispersing the gunpowder smoke and bringing fallen leaves, which slowly fell on the body.
Li Zhao walked slowly, his eyes not missing every body or every soldier who died for the Qin Dynasty. He seemed to want to remember everyone's face and their back.
His footprints left deep and heavy footprints everywhere he went, even on flat ground.
This journey was supposed to take fifty steps, but he walked for a full hour.
"Right warriors, go out in peace, I will avenge this!"
The word "Bao" contains supreme strength, coming from the deepest part of my heart. Spread by the air medium, it echoes like thunder on the hills.
His hands clenched tightly, and the veins bulged, holding back strands of blood. He ignored it completely, and his blood-red eyes suddenly raised and shot in another direction.
That's where the bandits' 20,000 troops were stationed.
Suddenly, he turned back suddenly, stared at the two thousand warriors with sharp eyes, and said loudly: "Brothers, copy the guys and destroy them."
"If you dare to kill my warriors and invade the Qin Dynasty, you will be punished!"
The voice was high and powerful.
"Kill!" He no longer concealed his whereabouts, grabbed the machine gun from the soldier, and moved forward angrily, "I will never look back until the 20,000 bandits are destroyed."
"Hoo hoo ho!" The two thousand elites were inspired, their voices were louder than the others, and their morale once reached its peak.
""I will not destroy the bandit army of 20,000, and I will never look back. ""
At this time, a voice came from behind.
"General, destroying the traitor army is a major priority for our great Qin Dynasty. Please don't abandon us." The speakers were several thousand generals who were hurriedly walking out of the city gate. Behind them were groups of sharp soldiers.
"Hoo ho ho! We are willing to join the general in destroying 20,000 bandits and avenge the dead warriors."
The city gate opened wide, and thousands of warriors filed out of the city gate, holding weapons in their hands, full of power.
Li Zhao sighed with emotion. The soldiers of Qin were patriotic and brave. He could not chill everyone's hearts. If he wanted to fight, he would fight.
Let everyone work together to destroy the traitor army, let them know the consequences of rebellion, and let them know that Da Qin is invincible.
And Xiang Gong, extinguish his evil intentions and let him know that even if he travels through time, he can't act recklessly.
Although ambition is great, it comes with a price.
"Okay, let's set out with the entire army to destroy the unruly thieves and restore peace to our great Qin."
Li Zhao was excited.
The soldiers were surging.
A supreme momentum soared into the sky, and morale could not be blocked.
At this moment, a scout hurriedly came to report, his face looking happy.
"General, 70,000 thieves are besieging the west and south gates." Whether it was excitement or tone, the scout paused mid-sentence, which made the people next to him feel heartbroken.
"But our Qin army was brave and destroyed them all with the help of terrifying weapons. At this moment, General Zhang Han is leading the army, requesting that we together destroy the remnants of the bandit army."
