"Black Buttocks, I leave this siege to you."
"I will definitely capture this city for the Five Hundred Lords!"
With excitement on his face, Black Butt commanded his soldiers to carry bamboo and wooden ladders and launch an attack on the city wall.
Zhao Tuo is now the Lord of Five Hundred, so naturally he no longer needs to kiss the bold stone and rush to the front.
His responsibility is to stay in the rear, take command, and coordinate troops and horses.
Now, under his command, Black Hips led four hundred elite soldiers to charge into the city. These soldiers had eaten and drank well yesterday and had a good night's sleep. They were full of energy and fighting bravely to take the lead.
In addition, the hairpin bird Xiqigu led fifty short soldiers to guard Zhao Tuo's side. If the situation is critical, this troop can also be sent to the battlefield as a new force.
However, Zhao Tuo estimated that there was no need for Xiqigu to lead short troops into battle, because after a day and night of heart-attacking tactics, the guards at the top of the city were not only exhausted but also their morale must be very low.
In addition, Zhao Ben was attacking in the west of the city, restraining Zhang Er's main force of county soldiers and rangers. With 400 elite soldiers, it should not be difficult to break through the south of the city.
In addition, Zhao Tuo also left a group of soldiers, led by Shejian, living on the east side.
Thirty of the soldiers in this camp were light infantry, and twenty were mounted cavalry.
Zhao Tuo stared at the city head tightly, waiting for the situation to change.
winter! winter! winter!
As the war drums of the Qin army beat, and with the rapid beating of the drums, the soldiers of the first camp launched a charge.
There are twenty people in this village who are heavy infantry. They wear metal armor and rush to the front with shields in their hands. They are responsible for attracting arrows and projectiles shot down from the city top.
Another thirty people followed behind, carrying wooden planks and other things. Their task was to fill in the ravines and open the way for the subsequent troops to climb the city.
When the vanguard of the Qin army appeared, a burst of crossbow arrows was fired from the top of the city. There was a clanging sound. The heavy infantry in front were fine, but several soldiers behind who were responsible for filling the gully screamed and fell to the ground.
But immediately there were Qin soldiers responsible for long-range shooting, using their bows and crossbows, and returned a hail of arrows from the top of the city.
Immediately after that came the second group responsible for carrying the bamboo ladder.
Because time was tight and there were not many manpower, Yang Xiong's army of a thousand people could not build large equipment such as giant cannons and carts. They only built one of the simplest siege vehicles. Now, It is being used to attack the sheep in the west of the city.
In this way, the defenders can be misled into thinking that the west of the city is the main direction of attack.
The real siege weapons of the Qin army were simple and easy-to-make bamboo and wooden ladders.
The soldiers of the Second Tunnel who were responsible for carrying the bamboo and wooden ladders, after the ravine was filled up by the robes in front, ran all the way, put the ladder tailor-made according to the height of the city wall on the city wall, and held it down hard to prevent the ladder from being The guards on the top of the city were pushed down.
Immediately afterwards, the daredevil who was really responsible for climbing first arrived!
"Come on, charge for Nai Gong!"
"The Lord of Five Hundred has an order. The first to conquer the city will have great merit!"
Black Buttocks howled, commanding the warriors to advance first, and the remaining soldiers followed behind and climbed up the bamboo ladder to the top of the city.
This group of Qin soldiers were all selected to be brave and brave men, and they only wanted to achieve meritorious service and be promoted to nobility.
Previously, Xiaohuang County was persuaded to surrender by Li eating one of his tongues. As a result, no one had done anything, and everyone was holding their breath for a long time.
Now that we have finally come to a tough battle and have the opportunity to behead someone for meritorious deeds, they are naturally excited, as if they have been given a shot of blood, and howl as they climb up the ladder.
At the head of Waihuang City, there was a sudden sound of metal collision and human screams.
"These Qin people are really fierce!"
Liu Jigang led a hundred county soldiers and rangers to the south of the city to support him, and his eyelids jumped with fright at the scene in front of him.
He saw the armored Qin soldiers climbing up the ladder one after another. As soon as one of the Qin soldiers emerged, he was stabbed in the chest with a spear by the city guard and fell down the city wall screaming.
But immediately another Qin soldier climbed up.
This man's eyes were red, and he howled with excitement from his mouth.
Before Wei Zu could take back his spear, the sword pierced Wei Zu's throat.
The surrounding Wei soldiers and young and strong men were startled. The Qin man rushed forward and killed one of them. However, several spears immediately stabbed at the Qin soldier's chest and pinned him to death. On the city wall.
Unexpectedly, this Qin soldier was extremely ferocious, his mouth was bleeding, and he howled and threw the sword in his hand, hitting a young man in the face.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zu smiled and died.
After the Qin soldier fell, more and more Qin people howled and jumped to the top of the city.
"The men of Shandong fought with armor covering their stomachs, while the people of Qin donated their armor and pelvis to chase the enemy, grabbing heads on the left and prisoners on the right..."
Liu Ji muttered the words he had heard describing the ferocity of the Qin army.
It is true that being famous is not as good as meeting, and meeting is worse than being famous.
No wonder the countries in Shandong faced the Qin people's march eastward and lost consecutive battles.
With five against one, the Qin army was still beaten so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.
These Qin people are really terrifying.
Liu Ji was also a well-known figure in the land of abundance. He was brave and fierce, and it was common for him to get into fights with others.
But compared with the bloody scene in front of them, those glorious past achievements were no more than children fighting, unworthy of publicity.
Liu Ji was frightened.
"Gentlemen, charge!"
"Today, for the sake of Wei and to repay the kindness of Zhang Jun, we will fight against the Qin people!"
Liu Ji raised his arms and shouted.
Under his passionate call, many of the one hundred county soldiers and one hundred rangers behind him were really excited and stepped forward to attack the Qin soldiers who were ascending the city.
Liu Ji shouted, pushing aside the people behind him and retreating toward the west of the city.
Although there are many Wei people on the city, most of them are young men who have been recruited from the city.
They had been brainwashed by Zhao Tuo's propaganda tactics day and night, and their minds had long been filled with the words "Those who surrender will be spared death, and those who resist will die without their bodies intact."
At this moment, when I saw the broken limbs and broken arms on the ground and the fierce appearance of the Qin people, I was even more frightened.
The defeat came faster than imagined.
Among the eight hundred young and strong men, I don't know who ran away first.
All eight hundred people turned around and fled.
The remaining one hundred county soldiers and one hundred light knights stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Where's Liu Ji?"
"Liu Ji ran away!"
Seeing that Liu Ji, the leader appointed by Zhang Er, had already disappeared, these county soldiers and knights had no fighting spirit to face the fierce and terrifying Qin soldiers. They turned around and fled one by one, running for their lives in a hurry.
Someone standing by the wall was pushed off the wall by the chaotic crowd and fell to pieces with broken bones and tendons. There were also those who fell behind. Seeing Qin soldiers catching up, they jumped off the city wall to save their lives. There were also those who were caught up by Qin soldiers when they were running at the rear, and were slashed and stabbed to death on the spot.
Of course, there are more people who spread their legs and try their best to escape.
The southern city wall of Waihuang County was captured by the Qin army in a single confrontation.
At this moment, the western city wall of Waihuang County.
Zhang Erzheng commanded hundreds of his men, and fought back and forth with the Qin soldiers under Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben.
"This is really a sheep attack. The Qin army will never be able to take down the western wall with this offensive. It seems that their main attack direction is to the south of the city. Fortunately, I sent Liu Ji to guard it."
"Liu Jin is a loyal man. With the 200 men he brought, plus 800 young men, with the advantage of city defense, how can he block the Qin army's attack."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Er felt that he thought Qin Jun was too scary.
We have a large number of people and a city wall to rely on.
So, I have the advantage, how can I lose?
Just when Zhang Er was sure of winning, he suddenly heard a chaotic cry coming from the south of the city.
He looked back and was shocked to see a bearded ranger rushing towards him.
Liu Ji rushed to Zhang Er's side and whispered.
"Zhang Jun, leave quickly, the city wall has been lost!"
"impossible!
Absolutely impossible! "
"How could it be lost?"
Zhang Er was stunned. There were a thousand people on the southern wall, but the Qin army attacking the city was only five hundred.
Even if a thousand pigs were blocked there and asked to be killed by the Qin people, they wouldn't be able to kill them so quickly.
Liu Ji shouted: "Zhang Jun, leave quickly, or you won't be able to leave!"
With that said, Liu Ji grabbed Zhang Er's arm and dragged him down the city wall.
