Chapter 343: Sima Jin's Divine Might (Third Update)

Wancheng.

In terms of geographical location, the city of Wancheng is quite important for both Qin and Chu.

It was precisely because of this that Qin and Chu launched such a thrilling siege battle in this city, and neither side intended to bow to the other before the victory or defeat was divided.

On this day, when the sun had just risen, the powerful offensive of the Qin army had already begun.

Hundreds of tall arrow towers appeared outside the walls of Wancheng, and the height of these arrow towers was completely level with the walls of Wancheng, and the archers of the Qin army relied on these arrow towers to launch a frantic confrontation with the archers of the Chu army on the city wall.

Countless arrows were like dense black clouds, shuttling back and forth in the air, whether it was the Qin archers on the arrow tower or the Chu army archers on the city wall, they were all decreasing at a rapid speed.

But the Qin people didn't seem to care at all, and every time the arrows fired from the arrow tower became sparse, a new group of archers would climb the arrow tower to replace their comrades who had already suffered heavy casualties, and continue to fight with the Chu army.

Although many Qin generals were distressed by the casualties of their soldiers and objected to this, the Qin army's commander-in-chief, Wang Di, overrode public opinion and gave unreserved support to this combat policy.

It was precisely because of the containment of these Qin archers that the Chu archers on the city walls were forced to focus most of their energy on the towers of the Qin army, and the number of arrows shooting to the ground was naturally greatly reduced.

Under such circumstances, the pressure on the ground siege troops of the Qin army was naturally greatly reduced.

Looking down from the walls of Wancheng, you can see countless Qin soldiers like countless black ants, carrying countless cloud ladders rushing towards Wancheng.

The tall moat had already been filled in by the Qin army, but this was not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing was that huge slopes began to appear under the walls of Wancheng.

With so many days of hard work by the Qin State's chariots, thousands of bales of sand and soil had been piled up under the walls of Wancheng, forming this slope.

These slopes directly shorten the height difference between the walls of Wancheng and the ground by half.

Although the current Wancheng city wall still maintains an unclimbable height, the problem of halving the height still arises, that is, the height that the Qin soldiers need to climb through the ladder is also half less than before.

In other words, the time for the Qin soldiers to rush to the city wall was half as short as before.

It is precisely because of the shortening of this half of length that the difficulty of the Chu army in defending the city has directly doubled.

In the past few days, the Qin army has attacked the head of Wancheng several times, which is the best proof.

Although it is said that every time the Qin people attack the city, they will be beaten back by the tenacious Chu army, but it must be admitted that when it comes to this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the Chu army does have a disadvantage compared to the Qin soldiers, so the casualties of the Chu army's soldiers defending the city are also rising in a straight line.

At the most critical juncture, the chief general of the Chu army, Jingyang, the upper pillar of the Chu State, even had to go to the front line to boost morale, which made the Chu army dangerously beat the Qin people who attacked the city.

The danger is full of dangers, which is the best portrayal of Wancheng in the past few days.

To be honest, even Jingyang himself, who seems to have always been full of confidence and is like a needle of the sea god, has no confidence in whether Wancheng can continue to persevere.

Under the onslaught of the Qin army, almost regardless of casualties, the defense line of the Chu army in Wancheng has been pressed to the limit again and again.

With the passage of time, whether it was the arrows and stones shot from the city walls, or even the speed of sprinkling gold juice, it was far from keeping up with the speed of the Qin army's attack.

It was at this time that a general of the Qin State shouted violently, jumped up from the cloud ladder, and flew up the wall of Wancheng.

This Qin general was very tall and burly, and his whole person was murderous, holding a sharp sword, wielding countless cold lights in the air, instantly killing the surrounding Chu army soldiers and retreating in embarrassment.

That's not all, just behind this Qin general, one after another Qin soldiers jumped onto the city along the passage opened up by this Qin general.

In a short period of time, the number of Qin soldiers above the city has reached dozens, and it seems that it may exceed a hundred at any time.

Jingyang looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but gasp.

If this continues, the people of Qin will have to gain a firm foothold in Wancheng City.

So Jingyang immediately issued an order: "Come on, people, immediately reinforce the city, and drive all these Qin people down!" ”

As a general who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than decades and has been fighting for half his life, Jingyang knows too well how to capture a city.

Once the Qin people have a position at the head of Wancheng City, then this position will soon be continuously expanded by the Qin people, and eventually the entire city head will be occupied by the Qin people.

Therefore, once these Qin people cannot be driven away, then the fall of Wancheng is already completely doomed!

Under Jingyang's order, a captain of the Chu army immediately rushed towards the Qin people with his troops.

In terms of numbers, the Chu army undoubtedly had an overwhelming advantage.

This is also the tactic that the Chu army has been accustomed to using in the past few days in the face of the Qin army rushing to the city-the crowd tactic!

It was with such crowd tactics that the Chu army was able to survive tenaciously in situations that seemed to be in danger and could collapse at any time.

But to the surprise of all the officers and soldiers of the Chu army, including Jingyang, this time the tactics of the sea of people that they were proud of actually failed.

After seeing the countless soldiers of the Chu army swarming towards him, this Qin general not only did not have any fear or panic on his face, but let out an extremely excited roar: "Chu barbarian, come and die under Sima Jin Yeye's sword!" ”

This general of the Qin State is none other than Sima Jin, who is now appointed as the vanguard general of the Qin State.

As soon as Sima Jin's voice fell, he waved the sword in his hand and crashed into the ranks of the Chu army like a tiger descending from a mountain.

The next moment, Jing Yang's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Sima Jin just smashed into the formation of the Chu army, killing people with rolling heads and blood splashing everywhere, however, none of those Chu soldiers with Jingyang's elite eyes could support even one round in front of him.

"Die!" Sima Jin roared angrily, and then swept the long sword in his hand with a force, directly cutting off the head of the captain of the Chu Military Academy who led the team.

This became the straw that broke the camel's back.

After the death of the captain who led the team, the elite of the Chu army, who originally wanted to suppress the Qin army, took the lead in breaking up.

"No, it can't be!" Jingyang stared at the scene in front of him, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

How could the elite of the Chu State in a hundred battles be unable to resist even a mere Qin State vanguard when they were superior in numbers?

No, it must be an illusion!

But whether Jingyang understands it or not, this incident really happened in front of him.

Sima Jin rampaged through the city walls like a humanoid bulldozer, and everywhere he went, the soldiers of the Chu army fell stubble as if they were harvesting wheat.

Sima Jin was so angry that he simply let out a strange cry: "I am Sima Jin, the vanguard general under the seat of General Wang Ji, but there are Chu barbarians who dare to come and fight with this general?" ”

Several Chu generals nearby were furious when they heard Sima Jin's words, and rushed up to fight Sima Jin alone.

Moments later, the generals were all corpses.

In this process, Jing Yang, the commander of the Chu army, could only watch all this, but there was no way at all.

What made Jingyang even more shocked was that because the invincible Sima Jin had bought enough time for the Qin army at the head of the city, there were now more and more Qin soldiers on the top of the city, and at a cursory glance there were at least more than three hundred.

And Jingyang's heart is very clear that there must be a famous Qin Ruishi in these Qin troops!

It was under the slashing of these fierce Qin Ruishi wielding swords that more and more of the city's positions began to be lost.

To make matters worse, Jingyang found that he could no longer send troops to reinforce the city.

Jingyang took a deep breath and pulled out the sword in his hand.

Jingyang knew very well that this was the last chance for himself and the defenders of Wancheng.

Once you can't drive the Qin people off the city in this last counterattack, today is the day of the fall of Wancheng!

So Jingyang decided to fight.

Fight with your own life!

But although Jingyang has already moved to death, those entourages around Jingyang don't want to do this.

The moment Jing Yang pulled out his sword, several of his attendants pounced on him, clamping his body and making him unable to move.

"General, no, no!!"

"Let go of General Ben!" Qin Yang roared with great anger: "General Ben is going to fight with this group of thieves!" ”

However, Jingyang's retinue disappointed him, and these retinues, under the command of a general, carried Jingyang out of the city wall and retreated towards the city.

As the main general, Jingyang's imminent escape completely defeated the last psychological defense line of the Chu army.

A large number of Chu soldiers retreated along with Jingyang, and after another quarter of an hour, the west gate of Wancheng was opened by Sima Jin himself, and countless elite soldiers of the Qin army flocked into the city and continued to fight with the remaining Chu army.

After another half an hour, Wang Di, the chief general of the Qin army, slowly entered the city under the escort of a large number of Qin troops.

When a general who is supposed to be under the protection of thousands of troops and horses does not allow any danger to his life to enter a city, then it can only show the fact that such a city is no longer too dangerous.

Wang Yi looked at the streets of Wancheng in front of him, and let out a long breath, and the whole person was relieved.

Although there were corpses everywhere he could see, and the air around him was filled with screams and a strong smell of blood, Wang Di's heart was still extremely happy.

In any case, Wang Ji finally completed Qin Wangji's order and successfully conquered Wancheng before the deadline of Qin Wangji's order!
