In the era of cold weapons, it is undoubtedly difficult to fight a city siege, especially when facing the Qin Dynasty of tigers and wolves, not even a step will give in to you!
If you want to attack, the only way is to risk human lives!
War is cruel and the battlefield is tragic.
Under the falling rocks and arrows, looking horizontally, there were already corpses lying on the walls everywhere, with blood flowing like rivers.
The coalition forces are still advancing.
Ye Gui has climbed up the ladder several times. Halfway through the climb, he was forced down by falling rocks several times.
No matter how brave the general is, it is not easy to attack the city.
Just when he was about to continue climbing, a sharp arrow shot from above.
This was not a random arrow, but a cold arrow with a clear target. The speed and power were beyond those of ordinary soldiers.
If it were anyone else, this arrow would have killed him, but Ye Gui's martial arts skills were too high. Although his attention was all on the ladder, he heard that the evil wind was not good, so he waved his spear with one hand without even looking. He directly knocked the arrow away and at the same time glared fiercely at the place where the arrow was shot.
On the top of the city, seeing his cold arrow being knocked away, Luo Chong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he pulled out the eagle feather from his back again, raised his hand and fired an arrow.
"What a despicable and shameless villain!" Ye Gui was furious. Because of his position, he had no choice but to be forced down the ladder by a sharp arrow.
But just as he stood firm, Luo Chong's cold arrows arrived again, one after another, without any pause, and he pulled and released in an instant, with smooth movements.
Ye Gui kept waving his spear, blocking left and right, and moving his feet continuously.
Following his movements, Luo Chong's arrows from the city became faster and faster. He shot as he moved, and the arrows hit his vital points.
Luo Chong's martial arts may not be very good, but he is one of the best archers among the Qin army. He once shot down an enemy general with a single arrow from more than a hundred steps away, in the midst of thousands of troops.
Now under this powerful shot, the target was directed at Ye Gui. Although the latter was highly skilled, he was unable to get close and was forced to retreat continuously for a while.
Fortunately, upon noticing his situation, a group of heavy shielders not far away immediately rushed over and protected him: "Protect the general!"
"Get off!" Ye Gui was furious, glaring upward and glaring at Luo Chong.
Luo Chong subconsciously reached for the arrow pot again, but the arrows behind him had been exhausted. He couldn't help but take a breath, stared at Ye Gui and murmured: "What a high skill..."
In his opinion, he had been hit by more than twenty arrows, and he had blocked the road with cold arrows several times. Whoever he was, he would have been killed. However, he did not expect that the other party reacted quickly and blocked every one of his arrows.
At this time, a stray arrow came, and Luo Chong immediately squatted down and then disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing this, Ye Gui immediately called the general in charge of the shield formation and said loudly: "General Chen! There are sharpshooters in the Qin army. Let your people protect the generals who are commanding the battle, and be careful of cold arrows!"
"yes!"
"Other soldiers, continue the charge! We must attack the city!"
Rocks were still falling, and people kept falling from the ladder.
In his ears, there were either killing sounds or miserable howls.
This is just a corner of the battlefield.
On the left side of the city defense, Qin General Ning Zhan is running back and forth with his sword in hand.
He has a resolute face with clear outlines and a short beard on his chin. As one of the Eight Elite Generals, his military exploits are undoubted, and his fighting style is iron-blooded.
He ran around and killed the coalition troops that appeared from time to time. His face was already stained with blood, and he couldn't help but shout:
"This battle is related to the safety of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Guarding our country is our honor!"
"All soldiers must fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
"Starting from this general! No one can take a step back!"
As the saying goes, what kind of generals are there are what kind of soldiers there are. A general who dares to fight tough battles will definitely not have people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Under the personal command of various Qin generals, the already brave Qin soldiers resisted even more fiercely.
Not to mention the 900,000 coalition forces, even 9 million would not be able to break through Shanyu Pass in one day!
The brutality of this battle has surpassed many previous battles. However, Huang Zu's side did not pay gold, and the supreme commander did not give orders. The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms could only bite the bullet and go up.
One side wants to attack the city gate, and the other side refuses to retreat even half a step, which is destined to be a bloody battle.
It was not until several hours after the battle, when the sun turned west and night was about to fall, and the siege soldiers were hungry and tired, that Huang Zu ordered the soldiers to call him gold.
When the signal sounded, the coalition soldiers who were attacking the city in front immediately began to retreat. However, before the battlefield was cleared, Huang Zu's second attack order was issued, ordering the second batch of teams to launch a night attack.
However, Su Yi had already expected this. The coalition forces had the upper hand. There was no doubt that the human sea tactic would be adopted first.
The Qin army had also been prepared for a long time. As soon as the coalition's first attack on the city was over, Shanyuguan quickly changed its defenses. The soldiers who had been guarding for a day were withdrawn and replaced with a recharged second defense. Team up.
The two sides exchanged elites, and night battles continued to break out, but the situation was certainly not much different from that during the day.
The Qin army has more than 300,000 people. As the defender of the city, it occupies a unique geographical advantage and has sufficient defensive equipment. Even if it is divided into a group of 20,000 people, there will still be 15 groups. It can be imagined that the defense will be rotated. It is completely sufficient and more than enough.
In ancient defensive battles, there are many examples of thousands of soldiers defending a hundred thousand troops in a city for several months.
What's more, this is still Shanyuguan.
It is tantamount to wishful thinking for the coalition forces to break through this place in a short time.
While the night battle was going on, Huang Zu also held discussions with the generals in the rear.
In the tent, Huangfu Ye took the lead in saying: "Today's battle during the day, the Qin army resisted desperately and refused to retreat even half a step. And on the battlefield, it shows the bravery of its army. Although our army has a large number of troops, if we want to attack the city, we may have to Pay the price many times over.”
He was a little frightened, because it reminded him of the Battle of Ningyang. Although the troops were superior, they were bleeding like rivers. No matter what, they couldn't attack.
When Hanzhou heard this, he said directly: "I have said before that when fighting the Qin army, you must first overwhelm them in terms of momentum, otherwise it will not be easy to win."
Huangfu Ye said: "As we all know, Shanyu Pass is the gateway to Qin. If it is broken here, Qin will be in danger of destruction, and the Qin people know this better than us! So when it comes to defending here, their morale can be imagined. Yes, when it comes to momentum, Qin's tigers and wolves, and the soldiers on the battlefield are not afraid of death, so there is no better strategy."
"Then as mentioned before, attack him for a month or two first! After all, the Qin army is not as powerful as our army. In the end, their strength will be reduced sharply. The fewer troops they can fight, the more timid they will be!" Hanzhou said firmly! .
After listening to what they said, Huang Zu pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to break through the mountain valley pass, you must do it in the short term. First, create pressure on the Qin army. I have no objection to this, but in the next war, We need to plan more and be prepared for long-term operations.”
