Chapter 426, Breaking Array 4
When the officers and soldiers heard the order, they knew that the King of Qin was here, and they all began to fight bravely, after all, if anyone captured the King of Qin alive, it would be a great achievement. [Full text reading. The streets in the town were not wide, and the horses could not run away, so the officers and soldiers jumped off their horses, holding shields in their hands, and entered the town step by step.
At this time, the official army had completely surrounded Qingyang Town and began to attack from all sides of the town.
Under the command of Ji Mengdie, the Qin army blocked all the streets, and even arranged archers and shield bearers on the roofs of each house, completely sealing all the passages in and out.
The officers and soldiers began to attack, they placed the iron shield in front, and the people behind put the shield on their heads, forming an iron shell, and moved forward step by step.
The Qin army had already prepared, they were defending on the street, and they also stood their shields in front of them, revealing the tip of their spears, at this time, when they saw the iron shield array of the official army, a commander in charge of commanding Qian Zong waved his hand, and several gaps were revealed between the shields, and behind them were huge crossbows.
Dozens of giant crossbows were arranged on each street, two in a row, and at this time, when the iron shields of the officers and soldiers came, they began to fire.
Those iron shields are not too thick, because too thick iron shields affect the movement, and it is inconvenient to use, so they can't stop the powerful shot of the giant crossbow at all. The two officers and soldiers in front of them were walking forward with their shields in their hands, when they were suddenly shot by crossbow arrows, and the shields were pierced and nailed together with the bodies of the two men.
The officers and soldiers behind were shocked, as soon as the people in front fell, a gap appeared in the shield array, and the people behind were exposed, and the archers of the Qin army immediately released their arrows and shot down a few more people.
The officers and soldiers hurriedly picked up their shields to protect them, they were afraid of the Qin army's giant crossbows, so they had to withdraw from the town.
Vice General Li frowned when he saw that he couldn't attack, and ordered everyone to stack a few shields together, and the two people stood up behind, and they must rush to those giant crossbows.
The officers and soldiers tied three or four shields together with ropes and rushed up again.
This time, the Qin army used a giant crossbow to shoot again, and it was no longer possible to shoot through the shield. The officers and soldiers were overjoyed when they saw it, protected themselves with shields, and finally rushed to the front of the Qin army.
In the dark night, there was a loud bang, which was the fierce collision of the shields of both sides, and the soldiers on both sides hid behind the shields, stabbing with their guns, and the shouts and snorts of both sides were endless. In this kind of fighting scene, the level of martial arts is completely useless, it depends on whose strength is greater.
People on both sides crowded on the street that was not wide, more lively than rushing to the market, it was difficult to turn around, the people in front were shot and fell, and the people behind immediately made up for it, stepping on the corpses of their companions, and continued to fight.
In this way, the Qin army took advantage, because most of the 3,000 people of the Qin army were ironclad soldiers, wearing iron armor and iron helmets, protecting the vital points of the whole body, so as long as they were not stabbed in the face, at most they were only injured in the arms and thighs, while the official army was not, their armor could not protect themselves, so they were assassinated by the Qin army a lot.
The entire outskirts of the town were in disarray, and the wounded officers and soldiers were constantly being carried out, with little progress.
Adjutant General Li saw that if he continued to fight like this, he did not know when he would be able to attack the town, so he consulted with several adjutant generals and ordered the troops to retreat.
The officers and soldiers used iron shields as a shield and withdrew step by step outside the town. The Qin army took this opportunity to take care of the wounded and strengthen the defensive line.
Adjutant General Li ordered to go down and let the officers and soldiers who rushed up and retreated first rest and prepare the fresh army, and then he ordered people to start firing arrows into the town.
These arrows were all arrows with fire, so Vice General Li saw that most of the houses in the town were still thatched roofs, so with just one rocket, the entire town could be turned into a sea of fire, and it was best to burn the King of Qin alive.
As soon as the rocket fired, it immediately set fire to some houses.
The Qin army also seemed to have been prepared, and as soon as the house caught fire, the people on the roof immediately went down to the street, and then retreated to the center of the town in an organized manner.
In the central area of Qingyang Town, many houses here have been demolished and cleaned up, so the fire cannot be burned here.
The officers and soldiers released a burst of arrows, only to see that the town was on fire, blazing, and even the streets were blocked, not only the Qin army could not defend, but the officers and soldiers could not attack, not to mention people, rats could not get in.
Vice General Li looked at the raging fire and laughed: "This time, all this anti-thieves will be burned to death." ”
A Chinese soldier on the side listened carefully, frowned, and said, "General, no, the fire is so big, why didn't you hear the screams?" Could it be that Qin Jun is all dumb, and his body is on fire, so he doesn't hum or haha? ”
Vice General Li's laughter stopped, listened carefully, and felt that this Chinese army was right, so he sneered: "Even if he doesn't burn him much, the houses in the town are destroyed, and they have no danger to defend. ”
The fire burned for nearly half an hour, and finally gradually extinguished, because the thatch was flammable and burned quickly, and the wooden furniture, tables, chairs, and the like inside were almost burned. ”
This time, he brought in 8,000 fresh troops, divided into four sides, and attacked together, preparing to fight into the town.
At this time, the king of Qin was still sitting in the courtyard, as steady as Mount Tai, there were more than a dozen arrows falling around, and the rest were blocked by the guards, the king of Qin looked up at the sky, only to see that the night was deep, the sky was full of stars, a quiet and peaceful, but the ground was blazing with fire, and the murderous aura was in the air.
King Qin knew that there were 20,000 officers and troops outside the town at present, and there were only 3,000 people around him, but he believed in Wang Jian and believed that this famous general had made all the arrangements, and he would definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and take Jingbian.
Suddenly, I heard the shouts of killing outside the town, and there was no need to ask, the fire had been extinguished, and the officers and troops began to attack again.
At this time, the Qin army had retreated to the middle of the town and formed a siege to resist. There were many officers and soldiers, and the momentum of rushing up was very fierce, and they immediately surrounded the Qin army and attacked and killed them on all sides.
The three thousand people of the Qin army were surrounded by a group, protected by an iron shield, and an iron spear stretched out, like a hedgehog, full of thorns, fighting desperately, they knew in their hearts that the King of Qin was behind them, in case they couldn't stop it, the life of the King of Qin was worried, especially those Qin people who were resurrected with the King of Qin, all their hopes were on the King of Qin, if the King of Qin was gone, they were born in this world, and there would be no meaning. All of them have become lonely ghosts.
In this way, the Qin army was extremely brave, with one as ten, plus armor and well-equipped, so they fought to the death and did not retreat, so that the officers and troops on the opposite side could hardly move forward.
After killing for a while, Ji Mengdie came to meet King Qin: "King, it's not a way to kill like this, there are too many officers and soldiers, if you kill in, your safety cannot be guaranteed, is it a helper?" ”
King Qin shook his head: "It's not time." Wait until this group of officers and soldiers is tired. ”
Ji Mengdie took a long breath: "Okay, let's fight with the official army this time." She ordered fifty more people to protect the King of Qin.
King Qin said: "No need, people are most needed outside now, and I believe that the Qin people will definitely be able to stop the officials and soldiers." ”
Ji Mengdie gritted her teeth: "Okay, let's hold it for a while." ”
She turned around and went out, commanding the Qin army to fight with the official army.
At this time, Vice General Li was also very anxious, after fighting for so long, the official army had not yet broken into the town, although it surrounded the Qin army, but the Qin army was like a boulder that could not be gnawed, and the distance between the disks was there, but it could not be smashed. He also knew that at present, this Qin army must be desperately defended because of the King of Qin, and his men and horses are almost ten times that of the Qin army, and he can't take it down, so he can't say anything, so Vice General Li has red eyes and gives a death order desperately, everyone must not take a step back, if anyone dares to retreat, the rear team will cut the front team.
In addition, he transferred the cavalry and prepared to use the cavalry to break through the gap.
Two thousand cavalry gathered together and began to assault from the north side of the town, and the officers and soldiers who were fighting made way so that the cavalry could charge. The two thousand cavalry rushed in front of the Qin army and rushed inward regardless of their lives. With a hammer in his hand, he smashed a gap in the Qin army's shield array, and then rushed in.
In this way, the battle formation of the Qin army was finally broken through.
The official cavalry was in front and the infantry was behind, and finally stirred into the Qin army's formation, at this time the Qin army's shield array was no longer effective, so the Qin army had to change its formation and began to melee with the official army.
The entire town was immediately transformed into a myriad of small battlefields.
Although the Qin army was strong in martial arts and had iron armor, there were few people after all, and after the melee began, almost all of them fought several officers and soldiers by one person, so a large number of casualties began to occur.
Ji Mengdie saw that something was wrong, and immediately rushed forward with the women's army.
These women's soldiers are all dressed in colorful clothes, very conspicuous, and they are women, and as soon as they rush forward, the officers and soldiers are stunned, and they don't know what these girls want to do.
Without waiting for the officers and soldiers to understand, the women's army drew their flying knives from behind them, and as soon as they raised their hands, there was a cold light, and the cold light flew with the sound of breaking the sky, and shot down dozens of officers and soldiers in unison.
The rest of the officers and soldiers took a look at it and shouted: "Be careful, these girls have guys in their hands......"
"It's throwing knives...... Yes! ”
The women's army does not come forward to fight, they also know that women and men fight, whether it is strength, physical flexibility is not as good as men, one-on-one hand-to-hand combat, that is looking for death, so they just stand not far away, look at the cold is a knife, their flying knives shoot very accurately, almost every time a knife is shot, an officer and soldier will fall.
An officer and soldier shouted: "Kill these girls first......"
With a force of officers and soldiers, he rushed up with a shield in his hand.
Ji Mengdie knew that she couldn't let the official army and the women's army fight, that would be a big loss, so she ordered the Qin army under her command to block it, and she herself brought dozens of Qin soldiers and rushed forward head-on.
Her martial arts are naturally very high, and she has not delayed after becoming a princess, and has been practicing hard, so her double swords are becoming more and more powerful.
That Mr. Qian naturally didn't know, the two of them were on the same page, and Mr. Qian had a ghost-headed knife in his hand, and he was cut off on the head.
