Outside Ruizhou City.
The trebuchets one after another were pushed out of the battlefield by the soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of neat infantry steps sounded, and the ground seemed to begin to shake.
As far as the eye can see, black armor and red tassels begin to appear on the horizontal line.
There are more and more, getting closer, and the sound of uniform footsteps is getting louder and louder.
Outside the city gate, a Qin general shouted loudly:
"stop--"
boom! Boom boom!
With a shocking sound, the army stopped instantly and formed a line.
Flags fluttered, soldiers and armor filled the sky, and a murderous atmosphere filled the entire place.
With such a large army pressing down on the border, the Ling Army soldiers on the city defense could not help but swallow their saliva, subconsciously tightening their halberds in their hands, and some young generals said in a trembling voice: "Quick! Go and notify Huang Shuai!"
At this time, Huang Zu was convening the generals to discuss countermeasures. He wanted to stabilize the morale of the army, but Su Yi would not give him this time.
In the hall, he was still talking:
"Ruizhou is the last choke point of our country and must not be lost!"
"Although Su Yi has many tricks, I believe that if all the generals work together, they will be able to overcome this difficulty!"
"Once Ruizhou is defended, you will all contribute to protecting the country!"
"After the generals return to camp, they must rectify the morale of the troops as soon as possible, curb the chaos, and do not be swayed by rumors! If deserters are found, they will be killed without mercy!"
Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked around, and then said: "As a general, you should know that even if you die in battle, it will be the glory of our generation!"
"I obey the military order!" All the generals clasped their fists in unison.
This is the frontline command post, very close to the city defense. Therefore, as soon as Huang Zuguang said this, the warning had been sent, and the soldiers ran in in a panic, knelt down and said: "Report to Commander Huang, the Qin army has arrived at the city and is about to attack the city pass. "
Hearing this, some of the spirit generals couldn't help but make a little commotion. Huang Zu took a deep breath and said concisely: "Every general will return to his headquarters and command the battle! Hold on to the defense line!"
"promise!"
People clasped their fists and left quickly, and Huang Zu also hurried to the city.
When he arrived, the Qin army's formation had already undergone some changes. Looking from the top of the city, large numbers of soldiers were running quickly between the square formations.
"The Qin army needs arrow formation to cover it again..."
Huang Zu said worriedly, and Wei Guang next to him shouted loudly: "Quick! Shield hand! All troops should take cover!"
The Qin army was on the scene.
There was a clanging sound of armor everywhere, arrow boxes were placed beside the crossbowmen, and the crossbow beds were pulled open by the soldiers and loaded with huge broken crossbows.
In the entire Qin army camp, all the dozens of rows in the front were filled with strong bows and crossbows, and behind them were halberdiers and swordsmen. There were also generals riding war horses, always looking in the direction of the commander's flag.
In the handsome position, Su Yi stood on the edge of the chariot, his face a little sickly pale. First he habitually made a fist with his right hand, put it under his mouth and coughed, and then waved slightly.
Following his gesture, the handsome flag waved.
Wei Qing, who was in charge of frontline command, immediately faced the city gate.
"Arrow array preparation——"
Under the violent shouts, the sound of uniform armor sounded, and all the archers drew their hard bows almost in unison, pointing upwards diagonally in unison.
Under the sun, black armor and red tassels covered the sky. Everyone seemed to have stopped drawing their bows, and only the black flags were fluttering in the wind.
There was silence.
"put!!!"
At the command, the archers all released their fingers, and the crossbows all pulled the triggers.
Buzz!
A wide range of bow strings twitched, seeming to tear the air apart.
Countless arrows shot out, like long black curtains, rushing up from the top of the Qin army.
Dense black spots obscured the sun in the sky, and in an instant, it swept down.
Plop, plop!
How many people were instantly turned into hedgehogs, how many people were howling miserably, and how many people were running away with their heads in their hands.
The generals of the Spirit Army had already huddled behind their heavy shields. The sound of sharp arrows hitting the shields in front of them made them dare not show their heads.
This is just the first round.
With the addition of 400,000 arrows, Su Yi planned to bloodbath Ruizhou.
At the scene, Wei Qing was riding a war horse, with his sword unsheathed, and he started shouting again:
"Hey——"
"wind!"
"wind!"
"Gale——"
The soldiers of the Qin army began to hit the shield with their sabers and hit the ground with their halberds in unison.
Every time the heavy shield is struck, a loud trumpet will erupt, followed by an arrow array.
A steady stream of black arrows covered the sky and the sun.
The long black curtain hit the city gate again and again.
Everywhere in the city defenses has long been unable to stand.
Countless sharp arrows crossed the city wall and shot into the city.
Inside the city, civilians were screaming in panic and fleeing in all directions, creating a mess.
The crackling sound never stopped. The sharp arrows shattered the tiles of houses, penetrated doors and windows, and some were nailed to the wooden boards. The arrow tails were still trembling wildly.
In the screaming chaos, countless people were shot by arrows and died on the spot.
"wind!"
"wind!"
"Gale!"
The air of murder is still permeating the air.
Another long black curtain suddenly rose, and dense black dots slammed into Ruizhou.
The city defenses were already covered with corpses, and blood flowed like rivers.
Even the shield-bearers of the Spirit Army were shot over a large area by this arrow formation. Every round, the shield-bearers fell to the ground, mixed with miserable howls one after another.
Wei Guang and Huang Zu were hiding in the corner, relatively safe. Listening to the roaring shouts outside the city, and looking at the arrow arrays one after another, he grinned secretly and couldn't help but said: "Old General Huang, keep doing this. , no need to start a fight, Ruizhou has been destroyed..."
"But what can we do? The Qin army's arrow array is unparalleled in the world. This distance is far beyond what our army can match." Huang Zu also said anxiously: "How many arrows will Su Yi use to bloodbath Ruizhou?"
Just as he said this, a thick broken military crossbow hit the city tower building. Amidst the miserable howl, the huge impact directly destroyed a corner of the city tower, and stone debris flew everywhere.
As the tiles were flying, Wei Guang shrank subconsciously, "General Huang, the Qin army's arrow formation is already like this. This is just a shock before attacking the city. What should we do once Su Yi orders a strong attack?"
"Are you feeling wavering?" Huang Zu's tone was slightly unkind.
Wei Guangdao: "Why did General Huang say this? I'm just speaking based on the facts. In the battle of Ruizhou, there was not only a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and our troops, but also a huge difference in the morale of the troops. If this continues, there is no possibility of holding on."
"You!" Huang Zugang was about to reprimand, but the Qin army's arrow array came again, so he had no choice but to shrink back.
The Qin army's arrow array was not soft, but a curtain of black arrows, slamming in, and every sharp arrow carried the power of a powerful shot.
Looking at it, the entire city defense passage was littered with arrows, like steel hedgehogs.
The same is true in the city. The houses within the area covered by the arrow array were riddled with holes, doors and windows were broken, tiles flew everywhere, and the streets were also littered with corpses...
