Chapter 424, Breaking Array 2
Watching Wang Jian walk out of the tent, Ji Mengdie frowned: "King, I still have to say some things, why do you have to go out in person this time?" ”
King Qin gently stroked the hair on her face: "What? Are you still worried? ”
Ji Mengdie said: "That's nature, on the battlefield, knives and guns don't have eyes, especially stray arrows, which are even more difficult to prevent." [Full text reading. You have to put yourself in danger and attract officers and soldiers, this idea is too dangerous, you must know that when a battle starts, most of the soldiers take care of themselves, and they may be negligent in protecting you, but on the battlefield, there can be no negligence in the slightest. So I'm really worried about your safety. ”
King Qin said: "You don't need to remind you of this, Lone also knows." But you also have to understand that this battle is of great significance to the restoration of the Qin people, and the capture of Jingbian will take the entire Shaanxi, which is a great matter, so Gu must go out in person. Otherwise, after the Qin army recovers, the people will talk about it, and they will ask, whose credit is it for the restoration of the Qin people? Then people will answer that it is the work of Bai Qi and General Wang Qian. As for that King of Qin, he would only sit in the city of Xi'an and listen to the news in peace. If there is such a statement, how many people do you think will support the Qin king? ”
Ji Mengdie smiled: "The king is afraid that the generals will overshadow their merits." ”
King Qin shook his head: "No, you have to know, although Gu is the King of Qin, this time is not the era of Lone, in that era of Lone, the surname Ying is the king, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Qin, and the whole country supports our family." And our family has also produced thirty-six generations of Ming monarchs, and the family is extremely powerful, and it is not difficult to control the Qin State. But now? The family surnamed Ying is only alone, at this time, once the people under him have the intention of being king, what can they rely on to control them? Is it just the grace of resurrection? Naturally not, Fan Ju is an example, you must know that governing the world is to convince people with benevolence and righteousness, and in troubled times, you must rely on power to control the situation. If Gu doesn't do something to improve his prestige, he will soon be disliked by the Qin people. ”
Ji Mengdie suddenly realized: "But I think that the soldiers of the Qin army respect the king like a god." ”
King Qin said: "That's because they were resurrected with Gu, and in their previous life, they were used to treating Gu as their master. But no one knows how long this habit will last. ”
Ji Mengdie smiled charmingly: "No matter how long their habit can last, in short, I have respected the king like a god all my life." ”
King Qin sighed and hugged her: "You don't need to respect a god, you just need to understand that you are alone in this world, there are no relatives, no friends, only subordinates and enemies." And you are the lonely princess......"
Ji Mengdie's face was full of happiness, grabbed King Qin's hand and put it on his face: "I am your princess, and I will always be ......"
King Qin suddenly laughed: "After this battle, we should have a child." ”
There was no one else in the tent, but Ji Mengdie was still so ashamed that her face was red, and she murmured: "Of course, and ...... To give birth to a boy......"
King Qin nodded: "Yes, I want to give birth to a boy, to give birth to a boy like Fusu......"
Wang Jian returned to his big tent and immediately gathered all the officers, at this time, in addition to Zhang Gong, there were also four deputy generals of Gu, Zhu, Zhang and Lu, all of whom were Qin people who were resurrected with the King of Qin, all of them were loyal and brave and good at fighting, and they were very familiar with the tactics of the Qin army. Wang Jian first raised a large order, ordering Deputy General Gu to lead 1,500 cavalry, retreat 20 miles, and ambush on the left side of Qingyang Town, and then ordered Deputy General Zhu to lead 1,500 cavalry to ambush on the right side of Qingyang Town. He also ordered Deputy General Zhang to lead 1,500 cavalry, retreat fifteen miles, and ambush on the left side of Liuchuan Town, and Vice General Lu to ambush on the right side of Liuchuan Town.
These four teams of men and horses, all of which were cavalry, totaled 6,000 people, and Wang Jian asked them to quietly go out of the camp and ambush them tonight, while the officers and soldiers did not know, and wait for the signal.
The four groups of men and horses set up troops overnight and drove to the ambush site.
In addition to these 6,000 people, there are still 9,000 men and horses left in the camp, Wang Jian left 3,000 people to protect the king of Qin, and the other 6,000 people prepared siege equipment, and tomorrow morning, they will start attacking.
There was nothing to say all night, and soon the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the Qin army camp had already eaten and reorganized the army early. Then the 6,000 Qin army drove out of the camp and came to Jingbian City.
The officials and soldiers over there had already reported to Wei Baichuan, and Wei Baichuan heard this, so he hurriedly came to the city and looked down.
I saw that there were not too many people from the Qin army, but the ranks were very distinct, in front of them were three thousand infantry, these infantry were in pairs, one of them carried a thick wooden device on his shoulder, and the other carried a sack on his back, and he didn't know what to load.
Behind are 3,000 ironclad infantry, all holding spears and broadswords in their hands, and many of them are carrying ladders, it seems that this is the main siege force.
Wei Baichuan secretly thought, with only these few thousand people, they want to capture my Jingbian City? I think I'm a little too contemptuous of my officers and soldiers.
So he instructed the officers and soldiers defending the city to bow and unsheath their swords and prepare to meet the Qin army.
Looking at the Qin army under the city, when the first 3,000 people walked to a place close to two arrows away from the city wall, they stopped advancing, and the 3,000 people were divided into five columns in front and back, unloading the things they were carrying on their shoulders on the spot, and then the person in front lay down on the ground and pedaled the thick device with his feet.
At this time, the officers and soldiers saw clearly that it was a huge crossbow machine.
This kind of crossbow is five feet long, almost the same height as a person, and cannot be pulled away by hand, so you need to lie on the ground and kick the crossbow body with your feet, and pull the crossbow string with both hands to pull the crossbow string apart and put it into the hook teeth.
One person wound the arrows, and the other person took out the crossbow arrows from the sack and put them in the crossbow trough, and only then did they complete the preparation for firing.
This is the terrifying giant crossbow array of the Qin army for thousands of years.
After the Qin army occupied Xi'an, and after the return of the Qin king, he searched for skilled craftsmen in the city and began to secretly build this kind of giant crossbow. There are patterns in the underground palace of King Qin, and he has always been with him after his resurrection, and he has not lost it, so it is not difficult to build, and to this day, there are tens of thousands of such giant crossbows in the arsenal of Xi'an City. This time, I came to Jingbian and brought 1,500 sheets.
Wang Jian and Zhang Gong were immediately after the crossbow array, their hearts were a little excited, after two thousand years, they could finally hear the whistling sound of countless crossbow arrows flying through the air again.
At this time, the crossbow array in the first row was ready, and a thousand generals commanded on the side, and he gave an order, and three hundred giant crossbows were fired together.
Immediately, there was a sound of a gust of wind in the air, and three hundred crossbow arrows flew out and flew towards the head of Jingbian City.
Hearing only the sound of snatching and plundering, most of the 300 crossbow arrows were shot on the enemy tower, and the officers and soldiers at the head of the city hurriedly held their heads and crouched in the battlements, where did they dare to come out.
That Qin Junqian saw that the shot was a little high, so he shouted: "Lower an inch, and shoot again." ”
When Qin Jun, who was kicking the crossbow body with his foot, listened, he retracted his feet by an inch, and the crossbow machine's lookout mountain dropped by an inch, and then sent out a second arrow.
This time the height was very suitable, and almost all of the three hundred crossbow arrows flew over the edge of the battlement, and several officers and soldiers could not dodge, and were nailed through the front heart or head, screaming and being shot away, and falling off the city wall. This powerful crossbow arrow frightened the officers and soldiers at the head of the city into turning pale and panicking.
Fifteen hundred giant crossbows, divided into five teams of three hundred each, neatly distributed, and each team had a commander, well coordinated. The five teams of crossbowmen fired in rows and rows, with few gaps.
Just as the crossbowmen began to fire, Zhang Gong gave the order, and three thousand infantry began to carry the ladder and rush towards the city wall.
At this time, the officers and soldiers had been suppressed at the head of the city by rounds of crossbow arrows outside the city, and many officers and soldiers were lying on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and some of them were bold and only looked out in the small holes in the battlements, and were also frightened by the crossbow arrows flying over their heads from time to time and shrunk their necks.
Wei Baichuan heard the shouting outside, looked out through the small hole in the battlement, and saw that the Qin army had begun to attack the city, and had already rushed to the city wall, erected a ladder, and shouted the order: "The thieves are attacking the city, immediately release arrows, ash bottles, and ten thousand enemies, hit me, and hit ...... fiercely."
After his repeated urging to supervise the battle, those officers and soldiers got up with courage and threw 10,000 enemies and other objects from the edge of the battlements, and some of them released arrows to the city. At this time, the officers and soldiers were extremely afraid, and there were fewer arrows, and the effect of the arrows was not good, most of the Qin troops who climbed up were wearing iron armor, and the arrows were bounced off.
Those 10,000 enemies, ash bottles and other things were thrown under the city, and there were not many injuries, and the fire that burned was quickly extinguished by the Qin army.
And the Qin army, which climbed the city, had approached the city. Some had already climbed under the battlements, raised their swords and guns, and fought with the officers and soldiers.
At this time, the Qin crossbowmen who released arrows under the city finally stopped releasing arrows, they were afraid of injuring their own people by mistake. And the official army at the head of the city can no longer use bows and arrows to resist the enemy, because the Qin army has crawled in front of them, so the two sides have launched hand-to-hand combat.
Many Qin soldiers were stabbed and slashed by the officers and soldiers, and rolled down from the ladder, and many officers and soldiers were stabbed in the city by the Qin army, or ripped off the city, and fell and broke the blood.
Wei Baichuan was already anxious, and he desperately shouted orders to the officials and troops in the city to start reinforcements. The officers and soldiers who were at the gate of the city heard the order and hurried up to the city to fight with the Qin army.
As soon as they retreated from the city wall, the Qin crossbowmen behind them began to fire arrows again, shooting many officers and soldiers.
You must know that every time the crossbowmen of the Qin army fire a salvo, they can release 1,500 arrows, this kind of crossbow arrows are more than two feet long, and the arrows are all triangular shapes. Therefore, as long as you shoot, you are seriously injured or killed on the spot.
