Chapter 525: Breaking the City
The soldiers of the Qin army began to hold their swords in their mouths, using their hands and feet together, and climbed up frantically.
Arrows are scattered above, constantly shooting down.
Falling rocks and rolling logs fall from time to time, often falling down, which is to cause a miserable howl.
But the Qin people are warlike, but the more they fight, the more fierce they become, and they are not afraid of death.
Under such a sharp offensive, the entire East Gate defense line immediately began to waver.
Because there are too few defenders here! The capital city was well defended, and it held the left side, but it could not hold the right side.
In the center of the city, General Fang was shouting hoarsely:
"Hold on! Resist it all for me! ”
After yelling, he immediately dragged one of the soldiers past: "Quick! Ask for help from the North Gate! ”
"Yes! Be! The soldier panicked, held on to the crooked helmet, and ran down the city defense with a puff of smoke.
But at this time, where is the time, you know, this is Liangzhou, the capital of Liangguo, how big, from the east gate, to the north gate, I don't know how long it will take!
Even if reinforcements came, I'm afraid the East Gate would have already fallen.
At this moment, a random arrow came coldly.
"Be careful, sir!" General Fang exclaimed, and with a quick reaction, he also directly swung his sword.
The cold arrow, just now almost hit Cai Yan, the latter is a strategist in the army, and he is powerless, seeing this situation, he is also afraid for a while, and at the same time said: "General Fang, hold it, you must hold it......"
The Qin army has always been fierce in wars, otherwise, it would not be called a tiger wolf.
In the left corner of the city defense, a Liang State forbidden army and the Qin army soldiers on the cloud ladder let out a miserable howl almost at the same time, and then both fell under the city.
The Qin army was killed, but the soldiers behind the cloud ladder were still climbing up frantically, and on the side of the Liang army, due to the continuation of the fierce battle, the personnel were sharply reduced, and there was already a shortage of substitutes and a lack of strict defense.
There was a gap here, and there was no follow-up Liang army to make up for it, and the soldiers of the Qin army on the cloud ladder began to jump up to the city one after another.
Seeing this scene, Xu Rong, who was directing the battle, suddenly widened his eyes, held his sword high, and shouted excitedly:
"The Liang army can't hold it! The Liang army can't hold it! ”
"Brothers, kill—"
The morale of the Qin army was boosted again, and there was no doubt that the killing was even more fierce.
In this case, as a gap was breached, after the Qin army came up, it immediately started a chaotic battle with the Liang army, and under the chaotic battle, the Liang army could no longer take care of the city defense.
It didn't take long at all, and on the city walls on the left and right sides of the east gate, as far as the eye could see, there were already black armor and red tassels.
The shouts of killing, mixed with the sound of weapons colliding, were rapidly pressing into the middle.
Under the crowd, the entire city wall is almost overwhelmed.
A thousand Liang State forbidden troops, there was not much left at this time, and in the midst of fighting and retreating, they quickly shrank together and protected Cai Yan.
Right now, on the left and right, all of them are Qin troops.
In a small position in the middle, Cai Yan and General Fang stood together, and the last dozen soldiers gathered around them, all covered in blood, holding halberds, and their faces were full of nervousness.
Looking at this scene, General Fang couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth: "Big ...... Adult ......"
When Cai Yan heard this, he didn't speak, but closed his eyes deeply.
Under the city, because the Qin army did not have siege vehicles, the city gate was not hit, and it was still closed.
Xiao Yuan's side, Shangguan Wenruo said: "King, Cai Yan was born in a famous family, he is a famous family in Liangguo, and he is talented and famous, if he can recruit this person, it will not only add a big boost to my Qin country, but also have a deep impact on the Liangdi in the future." ”
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, in fact, he didn't need to say it, Xiao Yuan also had this plan, this is not only because of Cai Yan's identity, but more importantly, because of his talent.
After nodding, he also looked upwards and shouted again, "Lord Cai! ”
At this time, the Qin army had already blocked the middle left and right, but it had not yet been besieged.
Hearing the shout, Cai Yan looked down.
Xiao Yuan continued: "As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch, and with an adult's talent, if he can stretch to the Qin State, he will definitely show his ambitions!" ”
"Huh." Cai Yan smiled desolately.
Xiao Yuan said again: "This king sincerely invites, Lord Cai should consider it......"
"Needless to say!" Cai Yan interrupted him and said in a shocking voice: "Now that the Liang Kingdom has been defeated, this official, as the minister of the Liang Kingdom, will never steal his life!" Loyal ministers, and do not serve the two masters! ”
As he spoke, he immediately lifted his sword and laid it across his neck.
"Xiao thief! Although the cool country is destroyed! But a soldier can be killed, not humiliated! ”
As soon as the words fell, he did not hesitate, and the battle sword was swiped, clean and neat!
Blood splattered, and the sword in his hand fell to the city with his corpse, smashing up a slight dust, and he committed suicide not far in front of Xiao Yuan, and the frightened horse neighed slightly.
"Lord Cai!!" It was too late for General Fang to stop him, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Yes!? This scene also stunned Shangguan Wenruo and the others.
Xiao Yuan also tugged on the reins, looked at Cai Yan's corpse, and said quietly: "Why are you bother......
He sincerely hoped that Cai Yan could serve as an official in the Qin State, but the latter was too arrogant!
After looking at Cai Yan's corpse for a while, Xiao Yuan came back to his senses, couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wenruo and Jia You, and said:
"I didn't expect that Cai Yan was a civil official, and he was such a model of sour literati such as Shi Naer."
He bluntly said that the literati were sour, and when the two heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and Jia You said: "Yes, the king taught the ......."
"Bury it." Xiao Yuan said again, although everyone is in different camps, he has some admiration for Cai Yan in his heart.
"No!" There are generals who take orders.
At this time, with Cai Yan's self-extinction, the only dozen or so Liang troops left in the center of the city had no heart to resist, and under the leadership of General Fang, everyone quickly threw away the weapons in their hands.
The east gate fell, the city gate was wide open, and 50,000 Qin troops began to enter in unison.
At this time, the north gate was still in strict formation, waiting for the Qin army to attack.
But the news that came back was that the capital had been broken!
Such bad news stunned everyone at once, and after reacting, someone immediately asked: "General! The Qin army has entered from the east gate, how can it be good now! ”
Another humanitarian: "In the opinion of the last general, the king of Qin will quickly occupy the palace, and at this time, our department should hurry over to support!" ”
Listening to everyone's words, the northern guard said quietly: "Now that it's over, is it too late?" Does it still make any sense? ”
"This ......" everyone ended, and after a pause, someone asked tentatively, "Then, what does the general mean......
"The destruction of the Liang Kingdom is irreversible, everyone, it's time to think about your own back path......
