Chapter 598, Tears of Heroes 2
Those archers were so frightened that they were afraid that Zhang Xianzhong would cut them down in a fit of anger, so they opened their bows and released arrows. [Full text reading. γ
Arrow S arrived at the city, because it was far away, S could not reach the Qin army, so they landed one after another. As soon as the Qin army saw that the Great Western Army at the head of the city began to release arrows, they protected their shields above their heads.
Li Dang's heart is a little uncomfortable, this kind of enemy army does not enter the S Cheng to release arrows, is by no means the practice of the battle-hardened army of the Great Western Army, the reason why they release arrows must be ordered, and the one who gave this order will not be the main general in the army, but the righteous brother who is going crazy, Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom.
At this time, the Qin army's forward men and horses were already within the S range, Li Dang ordered to stop, and the team stopped together, lined up very neatly, and the birds were silent. A well-trained centaur will appear unusually calm at this time, like a tiger that has found its prey, and will never roar loudly before delivering a fatal blow.
Li Dang stopped the men and ordered his flag officer to follow him to the front of the battle.
The flag officer took four personal soldiers, and as Li Dang moved forward, the four personal soldiers used iron shields to protect Li Kang.
Li Dang came not far from the front of the city and shouted to the city: "Where is the righteous brother? Junior brother Li Kang, please ask your righteous brother to come out and speak. β
When Zhang Xianzhong heard it in the city, he was so angry that he shouted: "What a righteous brother, what a good Li Kang." You really have the courage to talk to me like this, don't you really know that there are still four words of treachery in the world? β
Because it is a confrontation between the two armies, at this time, as long as the respective generals say a soft word, the army's heart will be immediately mourned, Li Dang and Zhang Xianzhong both understand this truth, so Li Dang also sneered: "Righteous brother, don't be obsessed, at this time the Qin army is like a divine soldier descending from the sky, your Great Western Army is already the end of the strong crossbow, defeated again and again, there is no reason to turn over, while the respective brothers have not yet fought in person, open the city early and surrender, so as not to destroy the lives of the soldiers and people in the city, I will be a guarantee in front of the King of Qin, the righteous brother can live in Xi'an, brocade clothes and jade food, and be rich and noble all his life." What do you think? β
Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "What a considerate brother." Opening your mouth is benevolence and righteousness, thank you for my brother. It's just that here and now, the victory and defeat are not decided. The return army of my Dingguo general is only a hundred miles away from Chengdu, and if you can't take Chengdu in two days, you will be exposed to the enemy on your back and become a prisoner of our great western country. It's a shame that you're still here to brag nonsense, if you listen to the kind words and persuasion of your righteous brother, put down your weapons early, and surrender, I can still make you a general. β
Li Dare heard this, and laughed loudly: "Brother Yi, don't hold up the faΓ§ade, Li Dingguo's people are far away in the White Emperor City, and it would be good to be able to come over in half a month." Besides, even if he comes, our Qin army has prepared a heavy ambush, waiting for him to jump in. Now that you have only a few thousand people in the city, how many days can you force the people to go to the city? Moreover, our Qin army is transporting cannons from Hanzhong, and they have arrived in Mianzhu, as long as the cannons arrive, a hundred cannons will be fired at once, and Chengdu will be a piece of powder, and the jade will be burned. The righteous brother does not think for himself, but also thinks for the people of the whole city, what good is it to treat them as cannon fodder? β
Zhang Xianzhong was furious when he heard this, knowing that if he continued to talk about it, Li Dang would brag and talk about the Qin army very powerfully, which was a fatal blow to the people in the city.
Li Dang is going to learn Han Xin, the embattled song, and blow the overlord to death Jiangdong.
So Zhang Xianzhong ordered the arrows to be released, and at the same time beat the trumpet.
The rain of arrows on the head of the city was fired, S to Li Kang, several personal soldiers immediately raised an iron shield to protect it, Li Dare knew that the words were here, there was no need to say more, so he turned his horse and returned to the formation with people.
At this time, for the sake of nothing, he knew that Li Kang had returned to the battle, so he ordered an attack.
The Chinese army drums sounded loudly, the front army heard it, did not dare to slack off, Li dared to wave his spear, and the soldiers of the front army went down the mountain like tigers, pushing the rushing cart, hitting the mallet, carrying the rope on their backs, carrying the ladder, and began to attack the city.
The crossbowmen in the back, protected by the shieldmen, moved forward, came to the bottom of the city, and began to fire arrows at the city. The crossbowmen lined up in the middle also began to fire arrows into the city.
For a time, the overwhelming rain of arrows poured down towards Chengdu.
There was a panic at the head of the city.
Those soldiers of the Great West Army can still resist in an organized manner, and return arrows to the outside world, but the people on the head of the city are bitter, before these people go to the city, where have they taken big knives, spears, shields and other weapons, and they will not use them if they get them, under the rain of arrows of the Qin army, they can only stand up their shields and protect their heads, so as not to be killed by the cold arrows outside the city, where do they dare to get up and fight.
Zhang Xianzhong has been pulled into the enemy building by his own soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong is worthy of being a general of a hundred battles, the battle is over, but he calmed down, and saw that most of the people only care about saving their lives, not daring to fight, immediately red eyes, an order, the supervision team stepped forward, waved a big knife at these people, and opened a killing ring.
Dozens of the people were killed, and when the rest saw it, they did not dare to hide anymore, so they had to pick up their weapons, come to the battlement, and scream wildly below.
At this time, the Qin army had already rushed under the city wall, erected a ladder, and began to climb the city. Several rushing cars also rushed to the city gate, and the rolling wooden boulders on it were pushed down, and the Qin army was immediately killed and wounded.
The car was not smashed because the roof was a whole tree trunk, and the Qin army officer commanded the soldiers and slammed into the city gate.
Not only was the battle fierce at the city gate, but the entire north gate city wall was full of people fighting.
The Qin army also got Bai Qi's general order, Bai Qi also issued a few death orders before the war, similar to Zhang Xianzhong's, and he was also cut off by those who retreated from the battle, but Bai Qi also issued a reward policy, the first to enter the city, the reward was ten thousand, the soldier was promoted to three levels, the general was promoted to the deputy general, and the deputy general was promoted to the general.
Under such a reward, the soldiers of the Qin army all had red eyes and attacked desperately.
They set up ladders, climbed under the city, and exchanged spears with Onishi's sabers, fighting to the death. Many people fell down the ladder and died, but the people behind were still desperate to attack upwards.
In this way, attacking and defending, after fighting for half an hour, the Qin army suffered thousands of casualties, and it had not yet rushed to the city, and the city was also full of dead and wounded, and the enemy tower had almost become a hedgehog, and the outside was full of feathered arrows. While fighting, the Great Western Army transferred people to the city, replaced the dead, and continued to fight.
From time to time, Qin soldiers jumped on the city, shouted loudly, fought to the death, and finally were surrounded and killed at the head of the city, the corpses were thrown down, and some ladders were also burned, but the new ladders brought by the Qin army immediately continued to set up an attack.
Outside the city wall of the north gate, there were dozens of ladders, and the Qin army launched a series of attacks without stopping, which doubled the pressure on the Great Western Army at the head of the city, and had to fight to the death.
