With such mobilization, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, and the war that had just stopped broke out again.
Xu Rong also took the lead and launched the charge.
The defense line of the Xirong soldiers here really strangled the main road, and they had the advantage of being at a commanding height. In order to block the attack, they dug many ditches and barriers and set up traps and barriers.
On the battlefield, as far as the eye can see, there are black armor and red tassels, covering the entire frontal battle line like a tide.
In the flying dust, shouts of killing shook the sky. All the soldiers held their swords high and rushed towards the enemy's position desperately.
Arrows were fired at random, and from time to time someone was nailed to the ground.
The ravine collapsed, and the sharp wooden thorns below penetrated the body, causing blood to flow into a river.
But these could not stop the Qin army's ferocious offensive.
Another fierce battle.
Two hours after the battle, Xirong's first line of defense was completely torn apart. Countless Qin soldiers crossed the ravine and rushed to the position screaming.
The war drum beats faster, like exploding beans!
On a real battlefield, once a big victory is achieved, it will be an invisible boost to morale.
In this situation, the confidence of the officers and soldiers instantly increased, and the charges became more fierce.
Xu Rong's eyes widened even more, his sword pointed forward, and he yelled: "Xirong is defeated! Xirong is defeated! Soldiers charge -"
While shouting, he also grabbed a captain and shouted in a loud voice: "Take your people and attack the hillside on the left wing!"
"Yes!" The captain was also killed and covered in blood.
On the other side of Xirong, the generals were also holding scimitars and commanding at the top of their lungs.
"Hold it! Hold it all--"
"Our reinforcements are coming soon! We must not take a step back—"
In fact, after the bloody battles in the previous two days, the Xirong soldiers here were at the end of their strength, and this fierce attack was a fatal blow.
Coupled with the lack of troops, once the defense line of the barrier was broken, the situation began to take a turn for the worse. Although the generals commanded them well, they were unable to recover.
Under Su Yi's iron-blooded military orders, the defense line in the western suburbs of Rongdu was completely breached on the third day.
This battle was so bad that it was not easy for the Qin army. It could be said that they killed a thousand enemies and suffered a thousand losses.
But once this was broken, the entire battlefield situation immediately changed.
A large number of Qin troops began to move northward from the western front, preparing to attack its weak points.
At the same time, Rongdu defended the southern city.
A Xirong young general hurriedly walked up to Zhekang and said in a panic: "General, we can no longer defend the country."
"What did you say!?" Zhekang was furious when he heard this and grabbed him by the collar.
The latter's face turned pale and he stammered: "No, General, I just...just received the news that the king...the king is no longer in the city..."
"What?" Zhe Kang's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of disbelief on his face. Then he reacted and pushed the young general away: "Speak clearly!"
"The... Your Majesty asked us to hold on. In fact, as early as three days ago, we had prepared everything and quietly evacuated from the west gate." The young general said in a trembling voice.
"Fart! This is impossible!" How could Zhekang want to believe it? When he met the King of Xirong, the latter was high-sounding and righteous, and made a gesture of vowing to live and die with all the soldiers.
Now, he ran away secretly?
Seeing that his eyes were about to burst, the young general swallowed hard and bravely said: "I don't want to believe that the king will abandon us, but... the news has been confirmed... and, we don't even want to believe it. There will be no reinforcements..."
"Ah——" Zhekang roared angrily. King Xirong kept saying that he was the person he trusted most, but in the end, he fought to the death to buy him time to escape.
He even ran away without telling himself.
The person you trust the most, the fight to the last moment, and the reinforcements that are about to arrive are all lies and use!
His belief collapsed immediately, and after roaring, he closed his eyes deeply.
The young general moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare.
When the surrounding Xirong soldiers heard the news, their faces changed drastically, and they all looked at each other with despair and fear in their eyes.
There is no doubt that this incident will soon spread throughout the army, and then the morale of the army will be turbulent.
Before Zhekang could say anything else, another Western soldier rushed over in a panic and said in a hurry: "General, the defense line in the western suburbs has been breached by the Qin army. The enemy is moving from west to north, intending to attack our country from all sides. …”
Zhekang's troops have long been insufficient. Even if he knew that the northwest two fronts were in danger, he could not mobilize defenses.
Moreover, his current mentality has long since collapsed. There is no fighting spirit left. After listening to what the soldiers said, he has no intention of giving orders and just remains silent.
"General, general..." The Xirong soldier who reported the military situation thought he had not made it clear, so he shouted tentatively.
Zhekang raised his hand tiredly and left the city defense without saying a word.
Seeing him leaving like this, the Xirong soldiers were stunned on the spot. The young general quickly followed and asked in a panic: "What does the general want to do? If there is a way to survive, don't forget the general."
"Haha." Zhekang walked down the city in despair, shook his head and said: "Whatever way you can survive now, just wait for death."
"This, this." The young general's eyes widened and he stopped moving forward. He stood there with his Adam's apple sliding and swallowed again.
Soon, the news spread throughout the army.
This last group of Xirong soldiers can be said to be the elite among the elite. They defended to the death and waited for reinforcements. At the end, they received the news that the King of Xirong had already escaped.
The last hope was shattered, and the atmosphere of despair, like a plague, instantly filled the entire army.
The king ran away a long time ago and abandoned them long ago. Now, even the general Zhe Kang has quietly left the front line. The Xirong soldiers have completely lost their faith in support and have no backbone. The situation can be imagined.
Both young generals and ordinary soldiers began to panic and flee from the front line. Some people threw away their weapons and ran back to the city, while others were like headless chickens, not knowing what to do.
That afternoon, the Qin army mobilized in all directions, preparing to make the final blow to Rongdu.
Outside the south city is where the main force is located. The Qin army officers and soldiers in black armor and red tassels are arranged in several neat square formations.
With halberds standing everywhere and flags flying, Goldman Sachs rode up to the commander's position, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Su, something is wrong. All the Xirong soldiers in the city have disappeared."
Su Yi looked at the city defense. It was indeed deserted, but the flag of the Xirong Army was still planted on the top of the city.
The enemy army collapsed and fled not long ago, and it was also during the break between sieges. Therefore, the Qin army did not know the specific situation. Likewise, they did not know that the King of Xirong had escaped.
Professor Tian beside him said cautiously: "Come on, Su Shuai, is this a scam?"
Su Yi frowned for a moment, thought about it, and said decisively: "Instruct all ministries to use ladders to occupy the city defense first!"
"promise!"
