When Xianda left, there were 10,000 troops left in Beiling, and the Xirong general responsible for the garrison was named Wu Na.
At this moment, he was also on the top of the city, looking at the 30,000 Qin troops outside the city gate. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and said with a trembling voice: "This...how can this be the Qin army!?"
Obviously, in his eyes, the former Qin army could not have such a military appearance, nor could it have such armor.
But the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
On the large plain outside the city gate, black armor and red tassels are overwhelming.
Thirty thousand Qin troops were arranged into several square formations.
Look at a line horizontally and a line diagonally.
The trebuchets one after another have already been pushed to the front of the formation.
Xiao Yuan was riding a tall horse with a sword hanging on his waist. He was located right in front of the crowd and was mobilizing before the war.
"Soldiers!"
"Drive out the violence! The time has come to reclaim our homeland!"
"Pick up your swords! Soak your shirts with the blood of the enemy!"
"How many of my people in Qin have lost their parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters at the hands of Xirong!"
"Kill them all! Drive them out of Qin!"
"This is our home!"
"kill!"
He was the supreme commander of the entire army. He shouted loudly to boost morale. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers below immediately began to hit the ground with their halberds and heavy shields, shouting in unison:
"Kill! Kill! Kill——"
The morale is high and the soldiers are high-spirited.
Xiao Yuan immediately turned his horse's head, then took out his sword from its sheath and pointed in the direction of Beiling City:
"Start the war——"
Following his military order, all the generals below also drew their swords.
"ignition--"
The racks of trebuchets were filled not with stone bullets, but with jars of kerosene stuffed with strips of cloth.
"put--"
Buzz! Buzz——
The sound of trebuchets being thrown sounded one after another, and a jar of kerosene drew an arc in the air and hit various places in the city gate with a bang.
The oil jars were all set on fire. After landing, the earthen jars burst and the fire oil inside exploded. In just a moment, miserable howls erupted from all over the city.
Piles of Xirong soldiers were covered with fire, and they fell down the city with screams.
"Arrow array preparation——"
Wow! Wow——
All the soldiers in the front row of the Qin army loaded their bows with arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward.
Another group of soldiers gathered together and pulled apart the city-breaking crossbows. The sound of mechanical movement filled the whole place.
"put--"
Xiao Yuan gave an order, the flag waved, and all the soldiers released their fingers.
Buzz!
A black cloud swept up, forming a long black curtain in the sky. The dense black spots gathered together, overwhelming the sky, facing the city gate, and pouring down.
Plop, plop!
Arrows were pierced all over the city gate, and some arrow stacks and wooden buildings were instantly filled with arrows. The Xirong soldiers who had no time to dodge were directly nailed into hedgehogs.
The screams never stopped.
This is a real war!
The Qin army's performance today is something Xirong has never seen before.
In the era of cold weapons, Xiao Yuan knew that arrow arrays were particularly important. Therefore, in order to run the army, soldiers must be able to shoot hard bows. The creation of ordnance in this area was even more demanding.
The effect was also very obvious. Under the Qin army's arrow formation, an unknown number of Xirong soldiers were shot and killed on the spot.
Seeing that Xirong was so suppressed that he could no longer lift his head, Xiao Yuan immediately pointed his sword forward and shouted loudly:
"The whole army attacks the city——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out immediately.
"Sir -" Peng Shuang, Su Yi and others behind him were shocked and quickly hit the horse's buttocks.
You know, he is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, so how can he take the lead? But in today's battle, Beiling must be captured quickly. He is undoubtedly doing this to boost the morale of the entire army.
Sure enough, the coach took the lead, and as you can imagine, the soldiers below immediately picked up their halberds, shouted and started to charge.
At that moment, dust was flying on the plain below the city, and countless Qin troops rushed towards Beiling like evil tigers.
"Dong! Dong! Dong dong dong dong -"
The exciting war drums sounded, and ladders were quickly set up all over the city gate.
The soldiers of the Qin army began to use their hands and feet together, ignoring the arrows above their heads, and climbed up crazily as if they were desperate.
Another group of soldiers pushed tall siege vehicles, protected by heavy shields, to the city gate, and began to use sharp and thick wooden stakes to hit the city gate hard!
On the top of the city, Wu Na was running back and forth with a scimitar in his hand. When he saw some Xirong soldiers who were suppressed by the previous arrow array and squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, he roared angrily, swung the knife over them, and shouted loudly at the same time:
"Everyone, get up!"
"Hold on! Hold on! Guard the city for me——"
"Don't panic! Kill me!"
There is no doubt about the role of the general. Under his repeated roars, the Xirong soldiers began to fight back against the city.
Stones and some rolling logs and other things were continuously thrown down.
Many Xirong soldiers also began to draw their bows and arrows and leaned out.
The arrows from both sides shot back and forth in the sky without stopping.
During the siege, many Qin soldiers were naturally shot by arrows and fell to the ground howling miserably.
There were also soldiers who were climbing the ladder and were hit by rocks from above. They vomited blood and fell down the ladder.
But these did not stop the Qin army's attack.
In this scene, in every corner of the battlefield, fighting is happening all the time.
It didn't take long at all. Under the city wall, there were already carved feathers all over the place, and blood flowed like a river...
Xiao Yuan held a battle sword and stood in front of the battle. While swinging his sword to knock away random arrows, he kept shouting:
"All soldiers! We must fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
"From this officer onwards, no one is allowed to take a step back! Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
With such a commander in chief, he was on the front line, boosting the morale of the troops. How could anyone in the Qin army retreat? Not only that, but they charged even more fiercely!
Moreover, Xirong has always invaded the country and massacred many people of Qin. Many of these soldiers, their parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters, died at the hands of Xirong, a blood feud, and this was a battle to defend their homeland. No need to say more!
The Qin army looked forward to death, and under the leadership of Xiao Yuan, it exploded with unprecedented combat power!
At this time, Wuna on the top of the city also discovered Xiao Yuan.
In his mind, there is no doubt that this must be the coach of Qin Army! Because he was there to command, the Qin army's offensive became more fierce with each wave!
Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to a soldier beside him and said, "Bring me the bow!"
The soldier hurriedly handed it over, holding the bow in his hand. Wu Na loaded the bow with an arrow and drew it to full. In an instant, there was an arrow!
This was a cold arrow, shot quickly and hit Xiao Yuan's shoulder.
"Sir!" When a Qin army general saw this, his eyes widened immediately and he rushed over in a hurry.
Just when he came closer, Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and cut off the arrow with a sword. At the same time, he grabbed the general's neck and shouted sharply:
"Leave me alone! Take your people and attack the city!"
