One place, two places, three places...
On top of the barrier, more and more places were broken through by the Qin army's elite soldiers and the three generals' soldiers.
However, the west side of the fortress was breached overnight, and the east side could no longer be defended. General Hu Shang's troops on the east side also climbed onto the tower.
Of course, the trump cards played by the Qin army's warriors were still too few after all. Even if all the ladders to climb the city were set up, it would not be enough for tens of thousands of Wangqi troops to climb the city together. Just like the capillaries, they are simply unable to accommodate the surging arterial blood volume.
To completely capture the barrier, the Qin army obviously needs more efforts. What we have to do now is to continue to follow the predetermined plan, advance from both ends, and connect small pieces of breakthrough land into large pieces to facilitate more Qin troops to climb the barrier, thereby crushing the Zhao army. state.
Of course, this period of expansion is also Zhao Jun's last chance. Once the territory of the city is successfully expanded, Zhao Jun will never be able to recover.
Soon, Xu Li learned the news that the middle section had been breached.
Having experienced hundreds of battles, he naturally understood what such a breakthrough meant. Without any delay, the strongest combat force nearby was transferred to the barrier.
On one side is the Qin army, with sharp soldiers as their spearheads, advancing from both sides, penetrating the Zhao army's line, and completely seizing the breakthrough point; on the other side is the elite Zhao army, constantly sending reinforcements up from the bottom of the barrier, and even more from the center. , trying to drive the Qin army off the barrier again.
The Qin army has the advantage of sharp soldiers, but the Zhao army has local strength. The Qin army's arrow towers have quietly gathered outside this barrier to escort the Qin army, and the Zhao army has also quietly gathered a large number of crossbows. The soldiers suppressed the Qin army.
On top of the barrier, the Qin and Zhao armies can be said to be: I am among you, and you are among me. On a section of the barrier that was less than 200 steps away, the Qin and Zhao armies were intertwined, spear against spear, shield against shield, fighting fiercely.
The red blood flowed down the barrier, almost soaking the black barrier red. The soldiers fell down one by one, trampled under the feet of the rebels, and fresh lives came back from under the barrier to the top of the city.
In the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the sound of swords clashing can be heard endlessly!
At this time, the Qin army suppressed the Zhao army slightly and ran forward for a few steps. Before they could take a breath, the elite troops of the Zhao army attacked again and forced back the few steps they had taken.
For a moment, the fight was somewhat inextricable, and after this inextricable fight, countless lives were quickly dissipated.
It's a pity that no matter time or combat power, they still sided with the Qin army in the end. On top of the barrier, there are more and more Qin troops, but fewer and fewer Zhao troops.
The warriors of the Qin Army naturally played a big role in this. As sharp warriors and soldiers, they ruthlessly harvested the lives of Zhao Jun. Finally, after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, they finally lost nearly half of their lives. After suffering casualties, they successfully tore apart Zhao Jun's defensive line and completely opened up the city's landing site.
The brutality of this battle is evident.
However, this was obviously not the time for mourning. In just a moment, dozens of ladders were set up on the barrier. Under the barrier, the main force of Wang Qi's army, which had been waiting for a long time, followed the captain's order. They swarmed up the ladder and rushed towards the Zhao soldiers who were still resisting.
"It's done!" Wang Qi, who was behind him, happily clenched his fists with both hands and punched each other hard.
Sima Cuo on the side was very calm. Maybe he had seen such a victory too many times, but when he thought about it: after taking the barrier, Zhao Jun was about to fall into a desperate situation, and after Zhao Jun fell, the generals of the Six Nations There is no opponent of Qin State, even if the six countries attack collectively.
Even someone as sophisticated as Sima Cuo unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and even the fatigue from the past few days was swept away.
Yes, Sima Cuo was already quite sleepy at this time.
First, they deployed the battle of barriers. They demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall. After staying up for several nights, they were able to adjust the front line, but the Zhao army over there turned around and ran away! Forget it, Lord Wu An then picked up the young men and led 3,500 elite troops to rush for hundreds of miles to the west bank barrier, and then the battle was arranged non-stop.
Even the Iron Man should be sleepy. But Sima Cuo still persisted.
"The battle is still going on! Zhao Jun is still resisting!" Sima couldn't help but warn himself in his heart.
Although Sima Cuo was exhausted from running around in the past few days, Sima Cuo finally saw one thing clearly - the Qin army was broken! Except for himself and Wang Lu, there is almost no one under Lord Wu An who can stand alone and calmly command an army of hundreds of thousands to complete a large-scale battle.
Wang Qi, as his name suggests, is good at horse fighting, especially in plains attacks. He is still far behind in attacking cities and territories, otherwise there is no need to personally participate in the battle here;
Although Hu Shang can be said to be the leader of the partial army, his number of soldiers may be 50,000, which is the limit. If there are more, even if it is not chaos, at least it will not be able to exert its power.
And these two generals are almost the best among the younger generation.
This is true for the best, let alone others. Maybe it’s just the Ying from the north! Sima Cuo seemed to suddenly understand the reason why Wu'an Lord Bai Qi paid so much attention and care to Ying Xi - since he was guarding the fortress with infantry, he was now going to the north road to attack Zhao's cavalry on the plain.
He, Ying Xi, may not be the successor that Lord Wu An is looking for for himself, but the successor that we are looking for for the hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in Great Qin! And this also explains why Lord Wu'an abandoned the Wang Cavalry and appointed Ying Su as the commander of the North Road Cavalry.
As he thought about it, Sima Cuo's eyes gradually moved further north - there, Ying Xi must be struggling painfully in blood and fire!
Only those who have experienced the test of blood and fire can control these hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves!
Sima Cuo's thoughts seemed to return to the appearance of the young man walking through the mountains and forests. In the light of swords and shadows, the young man was holding a long sword and roaring to the sky on top of the city wall of the capital of Shu. The person he was then is exactly the person he is now!
"Send the order: blow the trumpet, attack with the whole army, and capture the barrier as quickly as possible!" Sima Cuo's eyes condensed slightly, and he said slowly: "After capturing the barrier, rest for an hour, and you will quickly lead an army of 50,000 to the north for reinforcements. .”
"Yes!" Wang Qi on the side immediately accepted the order, but asked hesitantly: "General, our army has suffered a lot in attacking the fortress. If the general takes away another 50,000 troops... In addition, after this battle, our army will I’m tired, would you like to rest a little longer before heading north again?”
Wang Qi's hesitation was not unreasonable. Not to mention anything else, it was obviously not an easy move to withdraw his troops immediately after the battle. After all, people are not made of iron.
But obviously, Sima Cuo's command and deployment also had its own reasons.
