Since the Qin army launched its attack, the shouts of killing outside the royal city have never stopped.
Even at night, the Qin army launched attacks from time to time, making it impossible for the defenders in the city to sleep peacefully.
Le Cheng and others had no choice but to divide the defenders into two teams and take turns defending the city.
But even so, it will still be affected.
Twenty days later, the Qin army successfully filled the moat and officially launched a general offensive.
Zhang Ruo drove the chariot under his command to the city and beat the drum himself to help out.
The majestic war drums resounded throughout the world, and the mighty Qin army rushed towards the royal city like a mudslide rushing down the mountain.
Wan and Chen Zhuang, one on the left and the other on the right, led the Qin army through the heavy rain of arrows. Like two agile apes, they quickly climbed towards the city wall. The arrows, golden juice and iron caltrops from the city were smashed towards the bottom of the city crazily. Come, they were shot down by two people.
Behind the two men were dozens of pioneers with high martial arts skills. All of these people were masters brought by Zhang Ruo from Bashu. Not only was Chen Zhuang, a strong man in the Transcendent Realm, but also more than twenty masters in the Gangyuan Realm.
They live in the mountains all year round and are proficient in rock climbing and climbing high. No matter how tall the city wall is, they can't stop their upward progress.
They carried the long ladder, passed through the rain of arrows, and rushed to the corner of the city. Although some people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, people quickly filled the gaps.
The long ladder leaned towards the city wall and was tightly held upside down against the female wall. No matter how hard the defenders tried, they could not push the ladder down.
The group of people took a deep breath, held up a large shield with one hand, grabbed it hard with the other hand, and ran out like monkeys.
But the ordinary Qin soldiers behind him did not have such good luck.
The locust-like rain of arrows devoured them in an instant, and hot golden juice was poured on their faces. The Qin army instantly let out heart-rending shouts, fell from the high ladder, and hit the ground heavily. Blood stained the ground red.
The soldiers in the front fell, and the soldiers in the rear quickly took up their positions. No one dared to retreat.
After a while, corpses were piled up in the corner of the city.
One general's success and ten thousand bones withered!
Zhang Ruo looked at all this indifferently and continued to direct the Qin army to attack.
He didn't know how many times he had seen this scene.
I have seen nothing more tragic than this.
He has already developed a heart of stone.
Wang Lu mobilized the army in an orderly manner. Zhang Ruo trusted him so much that he almost handed over the command of the battlefield to him.
And Wang Lu did not disappoint Zhang Ruo. Whether it was his superb command ability or the powerful blessing he brought to the army, he greatly shortened the time to capture the royal city.
Rows of siege vehicles have been prepared, and large wooden stakes covered with rawhide are heading towards the royal city, with a whole group of soldiers pushing them on both sides.
The siege vehicles were heavy and heavy, and stalled when encountering potholes. There were people in the front who were dedicated to cleaning up corpses and filling in ravines. The defenders' attacks never stopped. Once someone fell, the people at the rear would quickly make up for it.
But as long as you can push it to the city gate, it's all worth it.
Catapults and archer legions are also providing fire cover. Thanks to the generosity of the Korean army, the Qin army has not yet had to worry about bows and arrows.
Both sides are working hard, even South Korea.
Not to mention Sanchuan, which was occupied by the Qin State, South Korea also knew that once the Western Zhou State was destroyed, it would be South Korea's turn next.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Even when Zhao and Wei were in their lowest period, they could still compete with Qin. South Korea was not even qualified to compete.
Today's Western Zhou Dynasty is tomorrow's Korea.
In fact, the Zhao army and the Wei army also had some real fights. Which soldier in the two armies did not have a relative die at the hands of the Qin army? Even the Qin army had many relatives die at the hands of the three Jin armies.
Generations of hatred, coupled with Feng Qiyinzi's military exploits, it would be natural to beat the opponent to death when he gets the chance.
Soon, Wan and Chen Zhuang climbed up the city wall, with excitement in their eyes. As long as they could climb the city wall, they would be able to gain military merit even if they were repelled later.
And as long as you can climb it once, you can climb it a second time.
The moat has been filled in, and it can be said that half of the royal city has been captured. The rest is only a matter of time.
To be honest, this kind of joint defense by multiple forces did not cause any evil, and it has lasted for so long, which is beyond Wan's expectation.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of city does not need to be attacked by force, and it will disintegrate internally.
As a result, the Qin army secretly contacted the three Jin Dynasties and promised them benefits and asked them to secretly release the water. It is not surprising that no one agreed.
What he didn't know was that the Wei and Han armies in the city, including the Western Zhou army, were eating and using Zhao's troops. In addition, Zhao's army was the strongest, so Han and Wei naturally did not dare to have other ideas.
If the strength of the three kingdoms were similar, no one could make the decision, and the royal city would have fallen into the hands of the Qin army.
"How dare two people rush up and seek death!" Bao Luan didn't expect Wan Wan and Chen Zhuang to crawl so fast, and quickly took out the big yellow bow from behind.
Of the two people, he only knew Wan and not Chen Zhuang, so he shot at Wan without hesitation.
The sharp sound of breaking wind came from his ears. Wan was startled and quickly dodged to avoid it. However, the space on the ladder was limited, and under the suppression of Zhan Yun, he could not fly at all.
Bao Luan's arrow was shot at an extremely tricky angle. Even though he tried his best to dodge, he was still shot in the waist.
Wanhu's eyes widened and he stared at Bao Luan fiercely. Bao Luan instantly felt a sinister aura envelope him and took several steps back.
Wan grabbed the tail of the arrow with her left hand and pulled hard, pulling the arrow out with a large piece of flesh and blood, and then threw it towards the city. The sharp arrow flew past and pierced the neck of a defender.
If an ordinary person did this, they would probably bleed to death. But Wan was an extraordinary strong man after all, and the inner energy in his body quickly sealed the wound. Then, he jumped to the top of the city, waving his spear to kill Bao Luan.
Chen Zhuang benefited from having a band to attract violent firepower, and after killing several defenders, he successfully climbed onto the city wall.
"Kill!" The two of them looked at each other and started to kill Bao Luan, one from the left and the other from the right.
As for whether the Transcendent Realm bullies the Gangyuan Realm or two against one, they would be laughed at by the world, so the two said they didn't care.
What is needed on the battlefield is to use the strong to bully the weak. What is needed is to use the many to defeat the few.
"The shield guards will hold on with me, and the crossbow soldiers will shoot." Bao Luan said loudly. If there was no suppression by Zhan Yun, he would have fled as far away as possible when he encountered the two people. However, under Zhan Yun's suppression, the so-called extraordinary was nothing more. Just a mortal.
The broadsword was swung out with force, and the bright light blade was slashed towards Wan. Wan blocked it casually, and Bao Luan suddenly felt a terrifying force coming from the handle of the knife, and he took a few steps back again.
"Ants are ants. Even with Zhan Yun's help, they are still ants." Wan said disdainfully, trying to chase Bao Luan away, but layer after layer of Korean troops surrounded him, killing one after another. .
Bao Yuan and Bao Luan's father and son had led the army for many years. Although they suffered more defeats and fewer wins, they tried their best to save the lives of the soldiers every time and won the love of the soldiers. How could they watch Wan kill Bao Luan.
Due to Han Jun's special talent, even Wan could not kill multiple Han Jun at the same time, and he would be dodged by Han Jun if he was distracted.
Crossbow arrows kept coming from behind. Although they failed to hit the two of them, they continued to consume their energy.
When the Qin army on the ladder saw that Wan and Chen Zhuang had climbed onto the city wall, their morale suddenly increased and they climbed up with all their strength. After a while, the Qin army came up one after another to kill them.
In a close encounter, the Han army and the Western Zhou lord were no match for the Qin army, and they were immediately killed and retreated.
At this moment, Jia Yan rushed over with two thousand Zhao troops and two thousand Wei troops. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly joined the battlefield.
Although Jia Yan is no longer the deputy general, among the entire Zhao army, except for Le Cheng, he is the only one who has the ability to lead such an army. Le Cheng can only give this task to him.
"The royal city has been destroyed. You, the Three Jin Dynasties, have all done their best. If you don't withdraw your troops now, are you going to be buried with the Western Zhou Dynasty?" Wan blocked Jia Yan's attack and asked in a deep voice.
He and Jia Yan were about the same strength, but he had been fighting for a long time and was injured, so he was at a disadvantage as soon as they met.
"General!" Zhou Jiang heard this and looked at Jia worriedly.
Yan.
Wan was right, Sanjin had done his best to be benevolent and righteous.
The Western Zhou State did not pay anything except some rewards for the soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasties. These rewards combined were less than one-tenth of the military supplies shipped by Zhao State.
Even if Sanjin retreats now, no one can say anything.
But Zhou Jiang still hoped that Sanjin could persist for a while, even if it was just for a few days.
"We'll wait until you conquer the royal city." Jia Yan swung his spear and stabbed at Wan. The two spears collided with each other, causing fierce sparks. The earth and rocks on the city wall cracked and dust flew. Wan retreated again, and a scale fell off from his shoulder armor. .
"Thank you, General Jia Yan, for your assistance." Bao Luan said excitedly.
"If General Mangmao knew you said that, he would definitely be very angry. There are still two thousand Wei troops here." Jia Yan replied with a smile, and at the same time he raised his spear, and the tip of the spear grazed Luan's neck. It left a trail of blood on it.
"What a pity!" Jia Yan sighed. He was just a few seconds away from killing a Qin general.
"Hahaha, of course I know that there is help from General Mangmao. After this battle is over, I will invite you two and General Lecheng to have a drink." Bao Luan said.
"Okay, I'll stop after getting drunk." Jia Yan said loudly.
"Since you are stubborn, then none of you can escape. You should go to the underworld and have a drink again." Wan said sternly, mobilizing all the energy in her body to attack Jia Yan crazily.
Jia Yan snorted coldly and stopped talking. He just used his hands secretly and said so much because he was a friend to Bao Luan. As for Luan, the sentence he just said was too much.
Bang bang bang!
Violent collisions continued to sound, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was stirred, and cracks began to appear in the city wall under the huge blow, but fortunately it was a solid wall made of rammed earth, and no corners were cut.
In addition, the inner energy of the soldiers who guarded it for generations subtly strengthened the city wall.
Jia Yan and Wan were suppressed by Zhan Yun again and were unable to exert their full strength.
The city wall did not collapse after all.
With the addition of four thousand fresh troops, the situation of the battle reversed again. The Qin army, which had just occupied a position on the city wall, was hit head-on and fought less and less under the attack of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces.
Soon, only Wan and Chen Zhuang were left struggling to support themselves.
Chen Zhuang's situation was better than Wan's, but not much better. Countless Korean soldiers were killed by him, but he was also hit by two arrows.
He did not have the courage to pull out the arrows. The arrows used by the Korean army were all shipped from Zhao State and had barbs. Pulling them out would inevitably bring out a lot of flesh and blood. Not only would the wound expand, but it would also be extremely painful.
He could only cut off the arrow shaft and continue fighting with the Korean army. The arrows would be dealt with after returning.
"Let's go!" Wan swept his eyes and knew that the Qin army had lost the chance to break the city. He shouted to Chen Zhuang, turned around and jumped down the city.
"Damn it." Chen Zhuang cursed angrily, but Wan had already run away. He could not stand alone, so he had to turn around and jump off the city wall.
Soon, the sound of gold was heard outside the city, and the Qin army began to retreat slowly.
"What the hell, these Qin troops are so fierce. I almost fell into their hands." Bao Luan said with lingering fear as he looked at the almost completely broken armor on his body.
He had just led the Han army to encircle and suppress the Qin army that had ascended the city. As a result, there were twenty or thirty Gang Yuan realm warriors among the Qin army. If he hadn't run so fast... Well, the main reason was that the Han army's life-saving ability was really strong. He was hacked to death by the Qin army.
Even so, the armor his father specially asked someone to build for him was completely scrapped, and he was slashed several times. Fortunately, the cuts were not deep and the injuries were not serious.
Later, with the help of Zhao Jun and Wei Jun, all these people were left behind, which was regarded as cutting off a piece of Qin Jun's flesh.
In any country, masters in the Gangyuan Realm are not cabbages.
"You Han Jun... really don't know what to say." Jia Yan looked at Bao Luan and shook his head helplessly.
You can't win a head-on battle, so what's the point of maxing out your life-saving ability?
Besides, if the enemy really wants to kill you, it's not like they can't do it. They will use several times their troops to surround you.
Just come or not.
At night, the moonlight shrouded the earth, spreading silence and tranquility to the violent land during the day. The Qin army outside the city had gradually fallen asleep. The day's war had made them exhausted, but no one in the royal city could sleep peacefully.
The news that the Qin army attacked the city today has spread throughout the royal city, making people in the royal city panic.
The nobles and wealthy people were worried about whether they could maintain their former glory and wealth after the city was destroyed, and whether they could pay back the money owed by the King of Zhou and the Duke of Western Zhou.
The civilians were worried whether the Qin army would massacre the city after it broke through. Even if they did not massacre the city, they heard that Qin's taxation was extremely heavy. How should they live in the future and whether they should flee to other countries.
But the journey is far away and there are bandits everywhere, so how can we escape?
Sanjin also had other ideas.
"General, it's time for the soldiers to prepare for retreat." At night, Li Si found Le Cheng and said in a deep voice.
"So fast?" Le Cheng said in surprise. This had been decided a long time ago. He indeed had no intention of coexisting with the royal city, but it was too fast now.
It had been less than a month since the Qin army actually began to attack the city.
"The royal city can no longer be defended." Li Si whispered.
"Impossible. The walls of the royal city are high and there is plenty of food and grass. Even if the Qin army attacks day and night, it will not be possible to capture it within a month or two." Le Cheng shook his head and said.
Even though the Qin army has climbed onto the city wall today, it is actually still early to capture the entire city.
