Fortunately, the follow-up siege equipment finally arrived before the army was about to collapse, followed by the second batch of fresh troops sent by Wang Lu.
More than 150 steps away from Jiepailing, the arrow tower finally stopped. The well-trained archers quickly entered it and took up their respective positions. Then the Qin army archers, who had been frustrated all morning, began to use their hands. The arrows told Zhao Jun: Who is the strongest crossbowman in the Warring States Period.
Soon, the archers on the city tower and the Qin army on the arrow tower started a shooting mode.
Although the arrow tower is high, it is not as high as the boundary sign here, which is known as a natural danger. Fortunately, the shield of the arrow tower regained another victory for the Qin army. In addition, there was no absolute gap between the two armies. In the exchange of bows and arrows, no one was able to gain anything.
Similarly, both parties are temporarily unable to participate in the offensive and defensive battles between infantry.
And the pressure was then put on Zhao Jun's side!
After no longer being suppressed by the airtight rain of arrows, the Qin army seemed to have parted the dark clouds to see the bright moon. Holding long swords in both hands, they hurriedly rushed up the ladder. There was quite a bit of "Gods blocking gods, Buddhas blocking Buddhas." mean.
It's a pity that the Zhao army on the opposite side is not a mob.
The rolling wooden stones and the boiling cauldron of golden juice, which had not had time to take effect just now, can finally appear.
Huge pieces of rolling wood and rocks were quickly pushed down the tower by Zhao Jun. The weight of hundreds of kilograms, coupled with the potential energy of falling, immediately bent the ladder. Fortunately, the quality of Qin's military industry was excellent, so there was no It was smashed directly.
However, the ladder was saved, but the Qin army on top was not so lucky. The huge impact of the rolling logs and rocks was beyond the power of human beings. Without a word, they were directly hit to the ground.
On the rolling wood, the sharp barbs were also killing the Qin army along the way.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape the attack of rolling wood and rocks, the more terrifying golden juice was already coming.
The so-called golden juice is nothing more than the excrement of humans and animals, gathered together, added with tree paint, gum and other substances to make it thicker, and then boiled over a large fire.
The hot golden juice fell down, and the skin and flesh were immediately burned to pieces. Not only did the victim lose his fighting ability, but because of the presence of feces, glue, paint, etc., the wound could not heal at all. The victim was almost certain to die, and it was extremely painful as the skin continued to fester. Among them, he slowly died hoarse from exhaustion, which shows how vicious he is.
Because of this characteristic, many so-called poisonous arrows in ancient times were made by boiling arrows in this golden juice.
Under the airtight defense of the Zhao army, the soldiers of the Qin army ascending the city were like dumplings, constantly falling from the ladders and the top of the city.
A Qin soldier with a long sword in his mouth, relying on his dexterity and strong body, successfully avoided the attacks of rolling wood, stones and arrows. His hands had already reached the top of the city and he was just about to use his strength to lift his body. When he got up, he saw a "dark cloud" already hanging over his head.
Just one step away!
But this step is like a chasm!
When I looked up, I felt like the spirit of death was coming out!
A huge cauldron-shaped object appeared above Qin Zu's head. The original color of the red-hot cauldron could not be seen at all. The huge cauldron was slowly pouring out, and water was pouring out from the cauldron's mouth. Smelling disgusting, thick black smoke.
Even Zhao Jun, who was operating it, was so smoked that he could only operate it with a thick and long wooden pole five steps away.
What else could it be besides that frightening golden juice? !
Instinctively, Qin Zu wanted to step aside and avoid the direction of the flow of golden juice.
It's a pity that no matter how fast a person is, he can't move faster than the pouring water...
"Ah!" A heart-piercing cry instantly echoed across the battlefield, and he dropped the long sword in his mouth.
The hot golden juice was poured down on his head and face. Almost Qin Zu's whole body was wrapped in the golden juice. The hot golden juice dissolved every inch of Qin Zu's skin wantonly.
An explosion-like sting accompanied by heartbreaking itching swept through Qin Zu's body in an instant. Even the strongest warrior cannot withstand such torture.
Under the pain, Qin Zu's mind could no longer think at all, and he instinctively wanted to protect himself with his hands.
He stared at his already burned head, suddenly forgetting that he was now standing on a ladder.
With a "bang", Qin Zu, who lost the protection of his hands, immediately lost his balance and soon fell from the ladder several feet high. The huge body brought huge impact, even the flat A crater was created by the hard soil, and the surrounding area was filled with dust.
The compacted land was like this, and the Qin soldiers who also suffered huge reaction were even more unbearable. A mouthful of dark brown blood immediately spurted out from the mouth, and the internal organs had obviously been severely damaged.
He was first scalded by golden juice and then fell down the ladder. He was severely injured, but Qin Jun was not able to die immediately. Although his internal organs were seriously damaged and death was only a matter of time, his strong body obviously wanted to Its owner lives on.
It's a pity that if he had a choice, Qin Zu would definitely choose to die immediately, so as not to continue to suffer from the golden juice all over his body!
That's right, not only the skin was exposed, but in the short process of falling, the golden juice had spread all over the body along the clothes, eroding every inch of Qin Zu's skin. For the current Qin soldiers, being alive is not something to be thankful for. On the contrary, it is just torture again and again.
"Huh?" Under the severe pain, Qin Zu's body had curled up like a dried shrimp. He kept rolling on the ground, trying to cover the golden juice with soil to reduce the pain it caused.
Black blood, mixed with golden juice, splashed wantonly with the rolling body, and finally merged with the brown soil, making it disgusting and terrifying.
When the surrounding Qin soldiers saw this, they also retreated, fearing that they would be injured by the still hot golden juice on his body. Even the attack with several surrounding ladders came to a halt.
The soldiers of the Qin Army quietly looked at their miserable comrades, and then looked at the towering pass, feeling sad in their hearts!
"puff!"
A long sword flew through the air, drew a perfect arc, and landed directly on the chest of Qin Zu, who was still rolling. The sharp long sword immediately took away the lives of the Qin soldiers on the ground, leaving only a field of shit that was still burning the ground.
A tall figure walked quickly to the corpse. Before he could sigh, Qu Chang pulled out the long sword on the corpse, turned around, pointed his finger in the air, and gave the military order expressionlessly.
"attack!"
