No matter how big the city gate is, it cannot accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops to attack together. The first group to launch the offensive is just the first batch of the coalition forces.
Even so, the scene was terrifying.
However, when the coalition forces rushed within a stone's throw, the ground suddenly collapsed, the soil sank, and a long ditch, several meters wide and extending across the entire pass, suddenly appeared.
Amid the screams, countless soldiers fell into the ditch, followed closely by howls of misery.
The long ditch was not only filled with kerosene, but also densely packed with sharpened wooden thorns that suddenly fell into the air and turned into a hornet's nest.
Many soldiers had no time to react, and their bodies were lying in the ditch, with bloody spikes piercing their bodies, which was eye-catching and terrifying.
As a general, Ye Gui was also at the front. Fortunately, he was very skilled and reacted quickly enough. He shot his spear to the bottom of the ditch, and with the help of his strength, he jumped back to the back.
But the coalition forces behind were still charging. Suddenly, their speed stopped and Ye Gui was almost rushed into the ditch again in the crowd.
He raised his spear horizontally, using it as a railing, and at the same time yelled at the top of his lungs: "Stop! Stop!"
At this time, the coalition forces behind also knew that there was a trap in front, and they hurriedly stopped. But there were too many of them. They could see clearly from the front, but how could they know from behind? Under the crowds, there were surging crowds, and there were countless soldiers. He was pushed into the ditch by his own people and howled miserably.
When the Qin army generals on the city saw this, someone immediately said: "Commander Su, the enemy's offensive has been blocked and there is chaos. The general suggested releasing the rockets immediately."
"Don't be anxious." Su Yi said in a steady voice, "Wait a moment."
Under the city, after a huge chaos, the coalition forces quickly stabilized their position. Then, under the command of the various ministries, they began to lower the ladders one after another as temporary bridges.
The whole scene looked like there were ladders set up on long ditches everywhere, and countless coalition soldiers stepped on the ladders to quickly pass through and rush to the city gate.
It didn't take long at all. Countless soldiers had gathered under the city gate and within the Changgou interception.
"Now! Light the fire! Shoot the arrows!" Su Yi ordered decisively.
Following his order, the soldiers of the Qin army who had been prepared took arrows and fired them, drew their bows to full capacity, and launched a volley at the long ditch.
The random arrows poured down with firelight, shooting randomly throughout the ditch.
And the long ditch was already covered with kerosene, which could be said to catch fire immediately, and there was no way a corpse could stop it.
When a fire breaks out in one place, it is like a tongue of fire, following the traces of fire oil, and the entire long ditch is instantly burned.
The ditch instantly turned into a wall of fire, making the ladders on the ditch crackle. Even the coalition soldiers who were passing by were directly burned into burning objects, screaming and running wildly.
Under the raging fire, the wooden ladder quickly lost its function and became more like a burning object.
The heat wave hit them, and the coalition forces behind them stopped urgently again, and this wall of fire also directly divided the leading troops and the rear troops into two.
At the same time, the Qin army also launched a fierce counterattack against the coalition forces that had reached the pass.
Large rains of arrows, mixed with rocks and rolling wood, continued to fall.
The coalition forces under the pass were unable to fight back at all. They could not advance forward or retreat. The sound of arrows piercing armor and piercing flesh never stopped. Under the fierce shooting, soldiers were shot to the ground one after another, and stones were thrown down. , the damage would be even greater, and if you didn't dodge, you would die of violent blood.
The miserable howls that filled the entire place made this war extremely tragic.
This was more like a one-sided massacre, because the coalition forces behind them could not cross the wall of fire to support them, and the siege equipment could not be transported at all.
Previously, there were at least thousands of coalition forces crossing the long ditch using the ladder as a bridge, but under such a blow, the entire army was expected to be wiped out immediately.
At this time, Ye Gui couldn't rush past, so he hurried back to Huang Zu, but before he could say anything, Huang Zu was already standing on the edge of the handsome car, raised his hand and shouted: "Ming Jin!"
He was the commander-in-chief of the entire army. When he gave the order, the commander's flag waved and the sound of gold sounded from the rear. Upon hearing this, the allied soldiers who had not passed the wall of fire immediately began to retreat in full.
Ye Gui said anxiously: "Huang Shuai! We just attacked the city..."
"Retreat your troops first." Huang Zu interrupted him and said with a cold face: "Su Yi dug a hole because I was careless. This wall of fire cannot be passed today."
"The soldiers in front!" Ye Gui was still anxious.
"They are already dead! We can't save them!" Huang Zu glanced at him, waved his hand, and the handsome car turned around and began to leave the battlefield.
"This!" Ye Gui had no choice but to look back at the still burning wall of fire. After hesitation, he could only follow the large army.
As the coalition forces retreated and the main force retreated, thousands of soldiers under the city gates, the result is needless to say.
Half an hour later.
The fire oil in the ditch was burned out, and the ladders had long since turned into ashes. Under the city gate, there were corpses lying everywhere, blood flowed into rivers, random arrows were stuck all over the ground, and rolling stones were everywhere.
Thousands of enemy troops were annihilated without wasting a single soldier. The coalition forces suffered a setback in the first battle. After the battle, the Qin army generals also had a hint of joy on their faces.
On the battlefield, it is very important to dampen the spirit first.
Looking at the tragic traces below, Su Yi said in a calm voice: "Xu Rong, take your troops to clean up the battlefield. Bring back the rolling stones that can still be used and continue to use them tomorrow."
"No!" Xu Rong took the order and left.
At this time, Su Yi was not afraid that the coalition forces would suddenly counterattack, because the other side had to solve the big ditch before they could launch a real fierce attack on Shanyuguan.
At his order, the city gate was opened, and Xu Rong began to command the soldiers of his headquarters, working in pairs, to move the available rolling stones back into the city again.
the other side.
After the withdrawal, the coalition forces retreated for dozens of miles and took a temporary rest. Huang Zu also immediately launched an emergency military meeting.
In the temporary tent, the generals quickly gathered, and many people had a little bit of frustration on their faces.
Huang Zu looked around and said: "In terms of the battle, it is normal to be hindered in the first battle. Don't be discouraged, but cheer up."
As he spoke, he added: "In this battle, the Qin army's digging of pits and ambush was somewhat unexpected, but ultimately, the responsibility lies with me."
As the highest military commander, it was very good for him to say this. After hearing the words, the generals also took a deep breath. Then, Hanzhou said: "Huang Shuai, no one thought about this. The most important thing right now is The problem of the long ditch. In my opinion, if we want to launch a full-scale attack on Shanyuguan, this intercepting long ditch must be solved. If the Qin army sets fire again tomorrow and divides our front and rear into two, it will cause another problem today. This situation.”
"That's right." Huangfu Ye followed: "And today we used cloud ladders to build the bridge, and they were basically burned down. If we want to attack the city again, the ladders will have to be remade."
