Chapter 178: Shoot them all
Although Wang Xin, the general of the Qin State, was not yet qualified as a famous general, he was still first-class in terms of morale. Under his command, the three thousand Qin troops rushed to the outside of the Dragon City Martial Saint Gate in one go.
The reason why he chose this place as the first target of the raid was because he had already observed the terrain when he left yesterday. The terrain within dozens of miles outside the Wusheng Gate is complex, and he is good at hiding his tracks and will not expose the target in advance. Moreover, the time he chose was just right. Almost as soon as they reached the city gates, twilight fell, pedestrians were rare, and the defending sergeants were overwhelmed.
All the battle arrangements have been communicated to everyone, as long as they enter the city gates, then there is nothing to worry about. Now that we know that most people are likely to die here, the next thing to do is to let go and kill them, and inflict the greatest trauma on this enemy royal city before the blood on their bodies runs dry.
If they are lucky, of course, the soldiers of the Qin army hope to be able to enter the Jinxiang Palace. Whether they live or die, whether they can kill or can't kill King Zhao, they can sprinkle their blood in King Zhao's palace, which is already the highest honor for warriors.
Three thousand Qin troops descended from the sky and suddenly appeared outside the Martial Saint Gate. The dozen or so Zhao soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to be frightened all of a sudden, and when they saw the surging sword light clearly, they didn't even resist, screamed, and fled in embarrassment. The gates didn't even have time to close.
Wang Xin, who took the lead in rushing to the front, looked excited, this was exactly the result he wanted. As expected, Zhao Guoren was really defenseless. It seems that this one is the right one! The joy of imminent victory filled his chest, and he roared.
"Kill it! Kill them all. ”
Seeing the open city gate in front of him, as well as the figure of the Zhao army fleeing in panic, there was no need for the general's orders at all, and the warriors of the Qin army also knew what to do. At this point, there's no need to think about anything more. Just rush forward and kill! Kill him with a river of blood, kill him with a whirlwind. All those who stand in the way are enemies, and they will be killed!
The gate of the black hole was like the mouth of a fierce beast, and three thousand warriors rushed into it without hesitation. They just wanted to use this way, with the knife in their hands, to break the belly of this fierce beast of Zhao State, so that the enemy trembled and feared in front of them.
The defenders of Zhao ran too fast, they quickly ran through the inner city gate, and disappeared at the end of the long street of Dragon City. The Qin army, who rushed to cross the drawbridge and enter the Martial Saint Gate, easily captured this city gate without bloodshed, and many people were excited and regretful at the same time. Originally, I thought that I would have to go through a bloody battle and make a major sacrifice to be able to enter Dragon City. But now, looking through the twilight ahead, I can already vaguely see the lights on the streets of Dragon City. And as long as they rush through the inner city gate more than a hundred zhang away, they can do whatever they want unscrupulously.
"Before Zhao Jun could react, continue to rush in! The ultimate goal, Jinxiang Palace...... Kill! ”
The light of the long knife of the brave and fearless general of the Qin State pierced through the twilight, roared loudly, and went straight to the inner city gate. His sword will be full of blood, leading his sons to establish immortal feats.
However, glorious dreams and nightmares on earth are sometimes separated by only one door. Perhaps, on that side is the battlefield of heroes, and on this side, only cruel purgatory remains!
Known as one of the four famous cities in the world, the Dragon City has an extremely grand architectural scale. And its four main gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest, not only the city walls and arrow towers are majestic, but even the inner city with half of the defensive nature is also very wide. This part of the area between the inner city gate and the outer city gate is called "Urn City" in the popular sense. As the name suggests, you can understand the structure and shape of this part.
The main role of the urn city in the military, in addition to the defense buffer, when the battlefield is set up outside the city, a large number of troops can be stationed here, and they can go out of the city at any time to fight. That's why it's very important.
And today, the Qin army, which thought it had a plan, did not expect that the people of Zhao had already set a trap for them here, and the distance between the outer city gate and the inner city gate would be the life and death line that they would never be able to rush through. The Zhao army, who was waiting for the battle, was high on the walls on both sides, staring at the prey with a cold gaze and entering the predetermined slaughter field!
Wang Xin, who was still a few steps away from rushing to the inner city gate, suddenly heard a rumbling sound from overhead, he hesitated a little in his heart, and watched a jack gate fall, and the inner city gate was all closed, cutting off the footsteps of all of them.
Wang Xin and his subordinates were taken aback. Before they could look up to look around, they heard the sergeant behind them scream loudly. But it turned out that the outer city gate was also closed at the same time.
Immediately afterward, a huge bell rang overhead, desolate and long, and after three sounds, thousands of torches illuminated the place, and the majestic sound of drumming was breathtaking.
"Not good! There is an ambush ......! ”
Wang Xin's soul was in danger in an instant. It would be foolish if he didn't understand what was going on by now. When all the soldiers of the Qin army looked up, they saw the shadows of countless Zhao soldiers appearing on the high city wall, and those crossbow arrows and knives flashed in the firelight, as if they were ready to harvest life at any time.
"General...... Now what? ”
The subordinates gathered around, their faces panicked. Even if they had made up their minds to die before they came, they were facing a situation in which no one would be reconciled. was shut down and beaten by dogs, caught turtles in urns, if you die like this, it's too embarrassing!
Wang Xin gritted his teeth and looked at the enemy figure that appeared, what could he do? It's only to blame himself for being too careless, just thinking about meritorious service, and taking these 3,000 people into the trap that others have already set up, now don't talk about killing Zhao King Chu Jiangmian, even the shadow of Zhao Guoren can't be killed.
Everyone below listened, immediately threw down their weapons, unloaded their armor, and surrendered on the spot with their hands tied! Otherwise, shoot and kill! ”
Someone shouted sternly from a height, his tone full of murderous intent. Wang Xin looked around and looked at all the Qin soldiers, he only asked lightly.
"Are you going to surrender?"
"Never surrender! General, let's maintain the dignity of the last Great Qin army! ”
"Good! The Great Qin Men would never surrender in the enemy's royal city...... Zhao Jun in the city listen! Even if your grandfather dies in battle today, his soul will remain here, and soon he will watch the Great Qin army set foot on Dragon City and kill all the people of Zhao State! Hahaha! ”
Wang Xin looked up to the sky and laughed a little crazily. And those Qin soldiers who knew that it was difficult to escape were some of them laughing wildly with their generals, and some of them used knives to slash the city gates, trying to get a chance of survival. Others shoot arrows indiscriminately at the city walls, and they have to die with or without accuracy.
In the firelight at the height of the city wall, Long Yu, the armored dragoon general, listened to the clamor below, pursed his lips a little boredly, and signaled the captain who shouted just now not to waste his tongue anymore. If it weren't for King Zhao's order to do the last persuasion work, he wouldn't have bothered to bother with these efforts. Since Qin Jun is so righteous and awe-inspiring, and generously begging for death, then of course he will fulfill them!
In fact, according to what Long Yu thought, he very much hoped to personally lead his cavalry to charge to destroy these Qin troops who did not know whether they were alive or dead. However, since it was a personal order from King Zhao, he had to jump off his horse and walk to the city like the five thousand dragoons. The young general, who had distinguished himself since the time of his kings, finally glanced back at the tall bell tower. Although he couldn't see the appearance of the people above, he knew that Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, and the important ministers of the royal court were watching the battle there.
"Let's get started! Shoot them all, don't leave them alive. ”
As he gave the order, the drums of war stopped, and ten thousand crossbows were fired in unison. The condescending Zhao Jun began to easily harvest the prey with the divine crossbow in his hand. For them, this is not a war of symmetry of power, but just a shooting range with live targets.
The archers in the Qin army who wanted to fight were all shot and killed at the first time. The bows and arrows they shot out did not do any damage to Zhao Jun, who was protected by armor and covered with arrow stacks. The opponent's powerful crossbow arrows directly pierced their heads, necks and other vital parts. At such a close distance, even ordinary armor and shields could not hide the dense rain of arrows.
As the general of the 3,000 Qin Army, Wang Xin naturally became the target of special care. Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of arrows were struck, and the impassioned general turned into an iron hedgehog. After the general of the Wang clan, it can be said that he sought benevolence and died a tragic death.
The torches lit on the city walls illuminated the surroundings, and it was clearly visible from a high vantage point. When those screams tore through the silence of the night and reached his ears, Wang Jian, who witnessed all this, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his heart was like ashes.
"Even I will kill it together!"
He glared angrily at the tall figure and gritted his teeth to say this. But the other party didn't even look down at him, and the king's gaze looked beyond the blood and killing, and looked at the deep night sky. One of the brightest stars appeared there, eclipsing all the stars around it.
"General Wang, I won't kill you like this. As a general, even if you want to die, you should die on the battlefield of both armies...... Go back in peace! Soon you will be able to return to Qin. ”
"If you don't kill me today, you'll regret it. In the future, I will personally lead the Great Qin army and come to Dragon City to avenge the dead soldiers! ”
"Excellent! I also hope that this day will come sooner rather than later. The Eight Famous Generals of the Qin State...... Hehe! I'd love to see them one by one. ”
