Chapter Forty-Six: The First Battle Was Unfavorable and Misunderstood

Lu Zhan couldn't help but smile when he saw that the siege tower had begun to play a role, according to this posture, it wouldn't be long before the city gate would be occupied. A group of black-armored warriors suddenly rushed out of the city, and these sudden kills of the elite of the Song army made the Song army regain a foothold in the city.

The coalition army that had been advancing smoothly was counterattacked, and when the coalition army at the head of the city saw that the Song army was carrying a few steaming copper pots and was puzzled, a Qin soldier shouted: "It's hot oil, they need to pour this hot oil down!"

The experienced soldiers of the Qin State recognized at a glance that the Song army's copper pot must be boiling hot oil, which must have been poured on the siege towers that continuously transported soldiers towards the city.

The comrades who had tacit understanding on the battlefield quickly launched an attack on these Song soldiers carrying copper pots, and finally a copper pot loaded with hot oil poured out towards a siege tower, and the smell of burnt skin and flesh and the screams of the soldiers made people shudder.

Lu Zhan at the foot of the dirt mountain saw the trebuchet constantly firing boulders, smashing and collapsing the dirt mountain that the coalition forces had worked so hard to build. There is a way that mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth. Lu Zhan was ruthless and ordered some of the archers to re-ascend the earth mountain and shoot arrows at the Song army on the city wall.

Although he was afraid of being hit by a trebuchet, seeing the cold light in the hands of the overseer behind Lu Zhan, he finally picked up his bow and arrow again and climbed towards the dirt mountain.

Although one siege tower was burned down by the Song army, the other siege towers still sent a steady stream of new troops to the city. The Qin soldiers on the head of the city were still red-eyed, and as the first Qin soldier threw away the helmets on their heads, the other soldiers also threw away their helmets. According to the customs of the Qin army, throwing away the helmet when fighting means fighting with life, and the brave and fearless soldiers of the Qin army are the foundation of the Qin state.

The soldiers of the Qin army who threw away their helmets rushed towards the Song army with a high-pitched roar like humanoid beasts, and not only the Song army was afraid of the Qin army like beasts, but even the soldiers who were allies of the Qin army were also afraid.

"Give it to me, stop these Qin barbarians. Quick, give it to me. The officer commanded by the head of the Song army looked at the Qin army rushing towards him in fear, and trembled and ordered the soldiers to stop the tiger and wolf soldiers of the Qin State.

As the Qin army got closer and closer to him, the officers of the Song army couldn't help but retreat under the city walls. Generals are also brave soldiers. Seeing that his commander began to flee, the Song army, which was already afraid of the Qin army, began to gradually waver. If it weren't for the black armor elite pressing the formation, I am afraid that the retreating Song army would have evolved into a rout.

All this was seen by Lu Zhan, who was standing on the watchtower, "I must be a model for the whole army when I command the war in the future, but my current armor is not too eye-catching." When you create a special set of armor in the future, the white helmet and silver robe will definitely be handsome. ”

"Lu Jianjun, my Qin State's first pawn didn't disappoint you." Gao Gong, who was also observing the situation at the head of the city, asked Lu Zhan.

"The first-class soldiers under General Meng Jian are indeed elites who are proficient in siege." Lu Zhan was both envious and jealous. The first to ascend is not the most elite infantry of the Qin State, and I don't know how strong the Iron Eagle Warrior who is known as the King of Qin is against.

Just as the Song army was retreating, a big man walked up to the city wall with a bloody head and shouted: "Chen Zewen is in a cowardly battle, and he has now been beheaded." There is no order for such a person to escape. ”

Seeing the fleeing commander executed, the Song army's originally shaky front was re-stabilized. The advance of the coalition forces was once again blocked, and the Song army, mixed with the elite of black armor, began to engage in a tug-of-war with the coalition forces.

"General Gao, can you break the city today?" Lu Zhan looked at the anxious battle situation and asked Gao Gong beside him.

"If it weren't for those Tang family's black-armored elites, it shouldn't be a problem to control the city gate tonight."

"Then order the soldiers on the front line to burn those trebuchets and retreat." Lu Zhan consulted Gao Gong's opinion.

"Today's siege was sudden, and the burning of those trebuchets is not in vain for us to make so many sacrifices." Gao Gong nodded in agreement.

Seeing the coalition forces rushing towards the catapult without their lives, the ordinary Song soldiers unconsciously moved out of the way, but the black-armored elites who were ordered to guard the trebuchet had no intention of getting out of the way. The brave Qin army and the well-armed black armor melee fought together.

As more and more coalition soldiers joined the siege of the catapults, the black armor guarding the catapults fell one by one, and dozens of trebuchets were burned to char by the coalition forces.

Seeing that the mission had been completed and the city wall was difficult to overcome, the coalition side sounded the sound of gongs and drums to withdraw the troops. The coalition soldiers on the city walls descended from the siege towers, siege ladders, and ladders. The Song army on the city wall did not dare to come forward to pursue when they saw the elite of the Qin State guarding the edge of the city wall.

Seeing that the three siege ladders and the rushing car had withdrawn, Lu Zhan finally let go of his last worries, these siege machines were the treasures of the coalition army.

Looking at the clouds dyed red by the setting sun, Lu Zhan touched his hungry stomach. I don't know what Xiao Yezi, this little girl, will do for herself today, but for Lu Zhan, he would rather live without bamboo than eat without meat.

Lu Zhan, who had just entered the camp, smelled the aroma of the food, and when he saw Zhang Yu present, Lu Zhan said, "Yu'er, even you came to me to eat."

"Lu Zhan, haven't you heard that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, knowing that the Song army has a trebuchet to destroy the earth mountain, you still climb it yourself. If anything, do you let someone else be a widow for you? Zhang Yu said to Lu Zhan with a reproachful tone.

"I promise you, this is the last adventure and I won't do it again." As he spoke, he raised his hand and made an oath.

Zhang Yu burst out laughing all of a sudden, "Your serious appearance made me laugh out loud." ”

"Look at you, do you look like a girl?"

"We are brothers, but you dare to say that I don't look like a woman, you are looking for death." After speaking, Lu Zhan didn't react and pushed Lu Zhan to the ground.

Xiao Yezi on the side couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, Lu Zhan was pressed to the ground and wanted to get up but found that he couldn't get up at all, this little girl was really raised as a boy since she was a child, and she couldn't get up at all when she couldn't make it up.

"Brother Lu, it's time for dinner, how about we have a drink of drunken Dongfeng? I say... It turns out that you guys are here, I..." Xu Hao, who entered the tent, couldn't help but think crookedly when he saw Zhang Yu on top and Lu Zhan on the bottom.

Xu Hao, who was standing in place, didn't know whether to go or stay, and Zhang Yu, who was bumped into by Xu Hao, was also shy, and forgot to get up for a while.

Lu Zhan, who was pressed to the ground, said: "You should really throw away all the unhealthy things in your brain, Zhang Yu and I are... It's in... Practice wrestling. ”
