Chapter 701: The Battle of Xinyang (5)

"The prince is mighty!"

Zheng Long showed excellent military talent, and in a short period of time, he issued several military orders in an orderly manner, and then the army began to divide its troops and leave the north city gate!

At the same time, inside Xinyang City!

"Poof!"

"Uhh

"Watch out for hidden weapons!"

"Damn!"

The city was completely chaotic, there were scenes of scuffle everywhere, and in the streets and alleys, it was either the corpse of Qin Jun or the corpse of Zheng Jun!

North Street!

The Qin army in the north street has been surrounded by shields to form a protective zone, Lingjiang general Qian Guangxiao and several lieutenants are hiding in the protection, watching the sky full of arrows and hidden weapons attacking, and the Qin army soldiers fell one after another, Qian Guangxiao finally understood that he had been tricked!

The small Zheng army that went out of the city to meet the Qin army was not just dragging him, but a bait, the purpose was to lure him into the city, and then block the city gate and not let him out!

And Zheng Jun's purpose has also been achieved, and the current Qin army is in a dilemma!

Retreat, the city gate was blocked by a large force of Zheng troops, and hidden weapons and cold arrows were shot from time to time on both sides of the street, so that the Qin army was overwhelmed and suffered heavy losses.

"General, now while there are not many enemy troops at the gate of the city, break through, if you don't break through, when the brothers are almost dead, it will be difficult to break through!" A lieutenant leaned over to Qian Guangxiao and spoke.

"If we can't break through, if we break through, we will lose this battle, do you know what defeat is? Since Your Majesty's pro-government, my Great Qin has never been defeated, if we set a precedent, we will be nailed to the pillar of imperial shame, and the descendants of this general, as well as your children and grandchildren, will be spurned! Qian Guangxiao said with a hideous face!

"This...."The lieutenant couldn't help but hesitate when he wanted to speak.

"General Chuanben ordered, no one is allowed to retreat, kill, see an enemy soldier kill one, at all costs, take Xinyang City!" Qian Guangxiao let out a beast-like roar, and he was determined to take Xinyang City.

"Yes!"

"Brothers, cover sweeping, see people killing, no one is left!"

"Kill!!"

Under the strong blow of the Qin army, the Zheng army in the city suffered heavy casualties, but the Qin army also suffered a lot of casualties, the main casualties came from hidden weapons and cold arrows, and the terrain inside the city was narrow, and the Qin army far exceeded the weapon and lost the advantage.

The Qin army lost far more than the suppression advantage, which meant that it was impossible to concentrate the rain of arrows to hit the enemy, and the street fighting completely relied on short crossbows to kill the enemy and melee kills, the Qin army was not familiar with the terrain in the city, while the Zheng army was very familiar, and the Zheng army relied on buildings such as houses, and came out from time to time to ambush the Qin army, so that the Qin army suffered.

Inside a dwelling!

Ma Yu lurked in the house with a number of Zheng soldiers, looking at the street through the windowsill with a pair of eyes, and when he saw a Qin army passing by, he immediately shot cold arrows and flying knives, killing more than a dozen Qin soldiers in an instant, and after doing this vote, Ma Yu left this house with people again, changed positions and continued to fight.

The Zheng army relied on this method to constantly block the advance of the Qin army, and also caused great casualties to the Qin army.

The Qin army entered the city for an hour and a half, and the casualties had exceeded 8,000, while the Zheng army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, compared to the Qin army dying one and the Zheng army dying two or three.

But for Qin Jun, it is a shame and an incomparably huge price!

In fact, the Qin army can break through, with the strength of the Qin army, even if there are 100,000 enemy troops at the gate of the city, 10,000 Qin troops can break through, but Qian Guangxiao, who is afraid of bearing the responsibility of defeat, and generals at all levels in the army, all choose not to break through, of course, there are also generals who want to break through, but the voice is too small....

Perhaps, in their eyes, as long as they take Xinyang City, it will be a victory!

Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too competitive and have too much pride.

Time passed slowly, three hours in a flash!

Three hours passed, the street fighting in the city was not over, the Qin and Zheng armies suffered heavy casualties, the Qin army suffered 18,000 casualties, the Zheng army suffered 50,000 casualties, the Qin army in the city still had 22,000, and the Zheng army in the city still had 140,000, and at the same time, the four major city gates had been blocked by a large number of Zheng troops.

The Qin army had already made a mistake in breaking through, and now even if they wanted to break through, it would be difficult to break through.

After four and a half hours of continuous fighting, the soldiers of the Qin army were extremely tired, and the Zheng army was completely waiting for work, in this case, the casualties of the Qin army increased rapidly, and the casualties of the Zheng army decreased rapidly, gradually dropping from the ratio of 1:3 to 2; 1 ratio.

Two soldiers of the Qin army can be exchanged for one soldier of Zheng.

The Zheng army was very cunning, and specially picked the Qin soldiers to attack when they were resting, so that the Qin soldiers had to give up resting and gritted their teeth to hold on, and Qian Guangxiao also reluctantly ordered to defend and no longer advocated attacking.

This battle has reached this point, and the morale of the Qin army has also plummeted, and it is a little powerless.

Hungry, tired, sleepy!

Time passed slowly, two hours in a flash, until sunset!

The county guard's house, the public court!

In the public court, Qian Guangxiao and the two lieutenants sat in the center of the public hall, and the three of them were all gray and disgraced, especially Qian Guangxiao, who was already in a state of disillusionment.

"I was wrong, I was wrong..."Qian Guangxiao, who was sitting on the ground, had slightly red eyes and flashed tears, and his face was full of remorse and pain.

"General, the East Gate Battalion was wiped out, the North Gate Battalion suffered more than half of the casualties, my West Gate Battalion also suffered more than half of the casualties, the South Gate Battalion did not have any news, eighty percent of the whole army was annihilated, and now we only have 15,000 troops, and are surrounded in the city, the four are cunning Zheng troops in all directions, this time, we are defeated, defeated completely.. Woo~" A lieutenant choked up while crying softly.

"General, the Zheng army burned all their grain and grass, and now the brothers are hungry and tired, we must break through, if we don't break through, if the Zheng army doesn't come to encircle and suppress, we ourselves will be tired or starved to death!" The other lieutenant said with red eyes.

Qian Guangxiao supported the ground with both hands, slowly stood up from the ground, and said softly with a lonely expression: "You take the brothers to break through, if you can protect one brother, it will be counted as one!" ”

"What about you?"

"Me?" Qian Guangxiao laughed bitterly, "Haha, I... Do I still have the face to go back? I, Qian Guangxiao, from now on, will be the shame of Daqin, and I can only put a layer of bright silk on this shame if I die in battle! ”

Qian Guangxiao's heart is dead, he has no desire to survive now, he just wants to die on the battlefield and get the highest glory!

"General!"

"Woo~"

The two lieutenants cried out in grief and began to weep bitterly.

PS: "I found that even though I have explained many times, there are still many book friends who think that I changed one chapter a day before, too little, here, I declare once again that the previous chapter and the current five chapters, the number of words is the same, all 10,000 words!" ”
