Under the protection of all kinds of large-scale siege equipment, the rebels slowly moved to the Chang'an city wall, the rain of arrows on the city was like a splash, round after round, without a moment's rest, many rebel soldiers because they could not get adequate protection, they fell to the ground with arrows, and the sound of wailing and screaming was endless.

However, the rebels' offensive did not stop because of this, and they still approached the Chang'an city wall step by step, as if every step closer was one step closer to victory and hope.

The Tang army defending the city was also red-eyed, the rebels this kind of reinforced and modified ladder is higher than the Chang'an city wall, the hidden soldier hole at the bottom of the ladder can hide hundreds of people at a time, once they reach the city wall, the thieves inside can climb the platform with the city wall along the internal ladder, and then rush up, easily climb the city wall.

"Bed crossbow ready!"

Although the Thunderbolt is powerful, it is limited to killing people, and it is difficult to deal a devastating blow against such a large and bulky thing, and the only long-range attack weapon can only be tried with a bed crossbow.

The huge ballista was pushed under the battlement by the female wall, and the crossbow arrows with the thickness of the arm had already been loaded on it, and the finger-thick cow tendons were tightly taut on the bracket, and they could shoot out the crossbow arrows weighing dozens of pounds at any time.

"Aim at the cloud car, shoot me!"

With the command of the captain, more than a dozen thick and long bed crossbow arrows shot out. The planks loaded on the large siege equipment were like cardboard pork in front of the bed crossbow, and they could easily be pierced and torn.

Some of the cloud carts were shot at the beams and pillars that carried the body, and they immediately collapsed and collapsed, and the thieves who were originally under their protection were immediately covered with flesh and blood, and suffered heavy casualties.

Although the power of the bed crossbow is huge, the accuracy is limited after all, and only one in ten can be shot, and it is unrealistic to expect the bed crossbow to destroy all the large equipment before it reaches the city wall.

However, the Tang army defending the city was not the only way to defend the city, except for the bed crossbow, that is, the thousand-year-old and effective fire attack. Before that, cans of fire oil had been piled up on the inside of the corridors of the city wall, and now it was time to put them to use.

At intervals at intervals at the head of Chang'an stood stone cannons as tall as several people, and this weapon that used the power of a lever to throw stone projectiles or thunderbolts could also be used to throw entire pots of fire oil.

Jars of fire oil were thrown out like hailstones, smashed on the cloud carts, smashed into the rebel soldiers, shattered in an instant, and splashed everywhere. Then the arrows that were bound to the cotton wool and burned like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter fell down like rain, but wherever it was contaminated with fire oil, it immediately caught fire. The wooden planks on the cloud cart and the leather armor on the thieves were originally flammable, but after being contaminated with fire oil, they caught fire when they saw it, and the fire was difficult to extinguish together.

In an instant, the battlefield was plunged into layers of fire, and the gunpowder smoke that had not yet dissipated was immediately covered by the billowing black smoke produced by the burning of the fire oil, and the screams were endless.

Qin Jin looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and couldn't help but be speechless, he was born in an era of peace, and war was an extremely distant thing for him, and even the concept was vague. However, since he came to this world, he has been fighting to the death against war all the time, or symbiosis and coexistence, and this kind of fighting has almost become a norm for him, an indispensable thing in life.

Even so, Qin Jin was shocked.

Compared with the current war, several offensive and defensive battles in Hedong can only be called a small trick.

Such a fierce attack, the Shenwu army since the formation of the army is the first time to encounter, even if the thunderbolts, crossbow arrows and oil blows, the rebels still have no intention of retreating, but the more they fight, the more courageous, they are going to climb the city wall of Chang'an at all costs. And the Shenwu army has to stop these thieves and demons from climbing the city wall at all costs.

Finally, the rebel army array, sheltered by various large siege equipment, reached within a stone's throw of the Chang'an city wall, and their counterattack also rose, and the unkempt bows and arrows were fired at the city wall, as a return for the first few rounds of the Tang Dynasty defenders. However, compared to the Tang army's sophisticated divine arm crossbows, the rebels were far inferior in power and intervals in terms of longbows and crossbows.

The arrows flew up the city wall and did not cause much damage to the defenders, but the captain in charge of guarding the city wall still personally went to Qin Jin and asked him to leave as soon as possible.

"Doctor, please leave quickly, the sword has no eyes, if you hurt the doctor, the last general will be a sinner for the ages, and it will be difficult to atone for his sins with death!"

For the army of this era, once the commander is injured or killed, the blow to the entire army is fatal, if in the past, Qin Jin might have to hold on, but at this moment, he took his entourage to the next section of the city wall to inspect, because staying behind would only bring trouble to the guards and defenders, making them fearful.

Walking all the way down the Yongdao until they reached Yanping Gate, the scale and stones of the rebel siege were the same, fierce and dense.

Coincidentally, Guo Ziyi also rushed to Yanping Gate with people, and he and Qin Jin happened to be walking along the city wall.

"Doctor, the scale and intensity of the rebel beast battle far exceeded the imagination in advance, fortunately, we are well prepared, and we will not let the thieves succeed!"

However, Guo Ziyi quickly raised her concerns.

"The tens of thousands of soldiers in the urn city are ready to move, and the last general is only afraid that they will take the opportunity to do something wrong!"

Prior to this, Guo Ziyi had secretly suggested to Qin Jin that he simply did not do anything and put all those people to death to prevent future troubles. After thinking about it again, Qin Jin still couldn't make up his mind, he didn't care about human life, he just felt that he hadn't reached that point yet, and keeping these tens of thousands of soldiers might be of great use in the future. But once they are all executed, where will the rebels dare to surrender to Tang in the future?

Under all these considerations, he still left the lives of those rebel soldiers, and in Guo Ziyi's eyes, these soldiers became poisonous snakes that would burst out and hurt people at any time.

"The city wall of the urn city is several feet high, and those soldiers have no wings, can they still fly up the city wall? General Guo should not worry about the sky, and resist the thieves outside the city with peace of mind!"

Seeing that he couldn't convince Qin Jin, and he was reprimanded by Qin Jin for a few words, Guo Ziyi actually smiled.

"The doctor's plan is really hard for others to shake!"

He glanced at the battlefield outside the city where the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war were flying, and said:

"It's not that the last general despises that Sun thief, it's just that the battle of trapped beasts, Chang'an City will become his eternal nightmare!"

Guo Ziyi's attitude here is completely different from the cautious attitude at the military meeting, I am afraid that more than half of it is for his subordinates to see, Qin Jin will not demolish him, and even the extremely cooperative one will follow:

"After this victory, Qin will give you credit!"

After entering Chang'an, Qin Jin made a rule in the Shenwu Army, all merits must be rewarded one by one after the siege of Chang'an has been resolved, and all achievements before that can only be recorded in the merit book. After the war, regardless of life or death, they will be cashed out one by one, and the living will be added to the rank and knighted, and the reward will be gold and silver. The deceased was posthumously sealed and compensated.

Even the Son of Heaven wanted to reward him first, but Qin Jin rejected them one by one.

However, at this most critical moment, in order to boost morale, Qin Jin took the initiative to promise to honor the reward. No matter when and where, the temptation of the reward for the soldiers is undoubted, and all of a sudden, the voice of the mighty long live is stacked, and there is a great tendency to swallow mountains and rivers.

After about a quarter of an hour, the rebel chariot finally pressed against the wall.

If it was in the past, it would not be easy for the rebels' cloud chariot to cling to the city wall, because Chang'an, as the Xijing of the Tang Dynasty, was the most well-defended city, in addition to the towering city wall, it also had a moat several zhang wide. Although in winter, the water level drops by half and the river freezes, a deep and wide chasm is formed in the river, making it difficult for ordinary large siege engines to pass.

However, after a full winter, the river channel that was originally deep and wide was full of corpses and snow, so much so that the river was filled in by life. Therefore, the cloud car was able to smoothly approach the Chang'an city wall.

The baffle at the top of the cloud car was pushed open and fell straight down, just between the car and the city wall, and the rebel soldiers hiding behind the baffle rushed up and rushed to the city wall of Chang'an.

At this point in the war, whether it is a bed crossbow, a thunderbolt cannon or oil, it has lost its usefulness, even the divine arm crossbow is difficult to use, the Tang Dynasty defenders on the city wall have long been prepared for this moment, and they have drawn out the horizontal knives on their waists and pushed up in a dense formation, and a dense knife grabbed in front of the swarming rebel soldiers, if they want to make further moves, they must face the difficulties and break through this knife wall. Otherwise, they will either all die under the wall of the sword, or they will be driven down the wall of Chang'an by the wall of the sword.

"Kill!, kill all the traitors!"

The eyes of the Shenwu soldiers lit up, and in their eyes, these rebels who climbed the city wall seemed to be all heads that could be exchanged for military merits.

The practice in the big ** is the same as that of the previous dynasty, military merit is only counted by the head, that is to say, if you want to accumulate enough military merit to get promoted, you can only accumulate the number of the head, if there is no head, even if the victory is big, the credit cannot be calculated.

Therefore, in the previous battle to defend the city, although the battle was fierce, as long as the rebels did not attack the city wall, there was no first level of capture, and military merits can only be generalized, and now the number of rebels attacking is far more than in the past, although this is an unprecedented crisis, but it is also a tempting military merit head!

"Brothers, why are you still hesitating? Kill all the traitors and behead them in exchange for military merits!"

The rebels never imagined that they flocked to the city wall of Chang'an, which not only did not greatly damage the morale of the Tang Dynasty defenders, but stimulated the morale of the other party to soar and the fighting spirit was unprecedented.

If Sun Xiaozhe learned that this was the case, he was afraid that he would vomit blood angrily.
