Chapter 510: Inside and Out
"Boom, boom, boom."
Li Chen only had a dozen artillery pieces, after firing hundreds of shells at the city wall one after another. The barrel of the cannon finally reached its limit load, and at this time, the barrels of more than a dozen guns were all red, and a basin of cold water was poured on it, and it was instantly transpired into water vapor.
The barrel was so soft that it could no longer fit the shells, and in desperation, the artillery attack could only come to an end temporarily.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The war drums roared, Li Chen personally beat the drums in the rear, and the infantry carried the ladder and began to advance forward with the afterglow of artillery fire.
"Shoot a volley of muskets and suppress the city." Wang Li's order came out.
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
"Bang, bang, bang."
On the city wall, the rebels saw the infantry of the Qin army attacking, and just wanted to bend their bows and arrows on the city wall, condescendingly wanting to shoot at the Qin army. However, at this time, the musket disease of the Qin army under the city wall was already in place, raised the musket in his hand, and began to launch a dense fire suppression on the city wall.
In the face of the muskets of the Qin army, the archers on the city wall immediately fell in large pieces, and the rebels hurriedly retracted under the wall battlements and acted as shrunken turtles. In fact, breech guns are not invincible in this era, and the loading capacity of five rounds and the scarcity of numbers are all defects of the Qin army.
But unfortunately, at this time, Wu Guang fell into the hands of Zhao Que, and Chen Sheng was still on his way. Now there are no soldiers on the city wall, and the only few partial generals are obviously not skilled in learning. In the face of the fierce attack of the Qin army, he was a little hurried for a while.
Under the city wall, Wang Li looked at the battle situation advancing forward step by step, and at this time there were only two big words in his heart: "That's it." ”
Wang Li once suspected at this time that if he continued to fight like this, there would be no need to capture the city at all, and there would be no need for any cavalry to break through, and he would be able to capture Xianyang City, the first fortified city in Great Qin, with these thousands of infantry, and he would be the most powerful general of their old Wang family at that time. After all, neither his grandfather nor his father had attacked Xianyang.
However, all this is just Wang Li's fantasy, and it is destined to become impossible to become a reality. Because, Chen Sheng is back.
"Waste, a bunch of waste."
"Give me the fuck, at least twice the strength advantage, the defenders of the city are pressed and beaten by the siegers, are you all waste?" As soon as Chen Sheng went up to the city wall, he saw his subordinates hiding under the wall like Wang Ba shrunk in a shell, and he was immediately angry. He took his forty-five yard foot and kicked them hard.
"The shield men put up their shields, and the archers return fire." Chen Sheng stood on the city wall and roared.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Sheng came, the defenders on the city wall immediately had a backbone. Under Chen Sheng's command, the defenders on the city wall erected a large shield, and the archers behind the large shield began to condescendingly return fire.
For a moment, Wang Li's attack began to be blocked.
With the arrival of Chen Sheng, the biggest crisis is not on Li Chen's side, after all, there is only a feint attack outside Xianyang City, and the thunder is heavy and the rain is small. Zhao Que in the city didn't know that Chen Sheng had come here to guard. As soon as Chen Sheng arrived, the trump card of Wu Guang in his hand became a discarded card in an instant.
Inside the city wall, in the alleys more than a thousand steps outside the northern city, soldiers wearing armor began to appear one after another, and the soldiers hidden in the city had begun to gather towards this side, and more and more people began to gather. They were not far from the city walls, but they were sheltered by houses that happened to avoid the lookout posts on the walls.
At this time, Ying Chengjiao had already come to the small courtyard to meet Zhao Que, and today he was the commander-in-chief of the city gate. Since he rebelled when he was young and was placed under house arrest by the First Emperor in Xianyang City, he has not commanded a battle for more than ten years, and he was also a little excited for a while.
Time flies, and it has been more than ten or twenty years since he won Chengjiao in the last battle. He has gone from being an impulsive lad to a middle-aged man. It's just that last time he was against the First Emperor, and now he is fighting for the First Emperor and Great Qin.
"Lord Zhao, let's go." Ying Chengjiao looked at Zhao Que and the others, who had already changed their equipment, and ordered.
At this time, Zhao Que and the others had already changed into the bronze armor of the rebels, pretending to be rebels and surrounding Wu Guang.
A group of more than 100 people surrounded Wu Guang and walked towards the city, but now the battle outside the city has begun, and the city wall has begun martial law.
"Who?" One of the rebels saw the crowd and immediately asked.
"Blind your dog's eyes, it's me, Wu Guang." Wu Guang put on his official authority and scolded angrily.
"General Wu." When the soldier heard the voice, he immediately heard that it was Wu Guang's voice.
"Wu Guang, the war is at the head, where did you go." At this time, Chen Sheng's voice sounded on the wall.
Seeing Chen Sheng, Wu Guang instantly panicked. Just as he was panicking, Wu Guang felt the short dagger on Zhao Que's waist again. Immediately strong and calm: "I suffered from some cold today, and I went to the city to see a doctor." ”
"The lazy donkey has a lot of and urine, hurry up to the city wall." Chen Sheng didn't doubt Wu Guang much, after all, the two had known each other for a long time, and they were together when they didn't take refuge in Zhao Gao.
"No, when General Wu left, he didn't bring guards." At this time, a partial general beside Chen Sheng muttered inexplicably.
When Chen Sheng heard this, he stared at Wu Guang under the city with round eyes and asked, "Who is next to you?" ”
Wu Guang was asked like this, and he panicked, and hurriedly replied: "The guards are all their own people. ”
As soon as Wu Guang replied, Chen Sheng knew it at this time, and waved his big hand and said, "It's Qin Jun, release the arrow." ”
With a wave of Chen Sheng's big hand, dozens of bows and crossbows on the city wall were immediately aimed below, and they shot over condescendingly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The arrow broke through the air and shot towards Zhao Que and the others.
Chen Sheng caught Zhao Que and the others off guard, and for a while, everyone on the Black Ice Platform suffered heavy casualties, but it was Wu Guang, a kid, a carp rolled sideways and grabbed behind a corpse, and was not hit by an arrow.
"Withdraw, withdraw."
Realizing that it had been exposed, Zhao Que immediately beckoned the few brothers of the Black Ice Platform to retreat and withdraw from the firing range of the archers on the city wall. Now that Wu Guang is useless, Zhao Que naturally doesn't care about this person's life or death.
"I ......"
"What should I do?" At this time, Wu Guang, who was hiding in the pile of dead people, watched the people of the Black Ice Platform evacuate. At this time, he can only ask for more blessings.
"Chang'anjun, we failed." Retreating to the small courtyard, Zhao Que said dejectedly.
He worked hard to capture Wu Guang alive, originally thinking that this was a hole card, but who knew that it was a waste card. failed to steal the city, but also lost many brothers, which made Zhao Que have to be frustrated.
"It's okay, let's get ready to attack." Ying Chengjiao said calmly.
For a general honed on the battlefield like Cheng Jiao, stealing the city is just a miracle trick. If the trick can work wonders, it is naturally good, but if it can't work wonders, then it will not affect the overall situation.
As Ying Chengjiao's order was conveyed, thousands of soldiers began to assemble at the city wall. These soldiers also officially appeared in front of Chen Sheng, and now it was his turn to suffer from the enemy on Chen Sheng's back.
"Damn, Fusu has been captured, who can organize the stragglers in the city." Looking at the soldiers gathered under the city, Chen Sheng couldn't help but curse in his heart.
