Half a day later.

In addition to the 15,000 soldiers and horses still guarding the eight heights outside the city, the Rong army poured out under the guidance of the burning red sun flag, and outside the moat of Chen Bing Huangyin, they looked at this huge city that had long been a flesh mill in the past four months.

"Report to the marshal, General Lu has found out that after the collapse of the nineteen earthen platforms, except for the six earthen platforms that fell to the head of the city and collapsed the tunnels, the remaining thirteen earthen platforms that fell to the moat had little impact on the tunnels under the city.

It's just that these earthen platforms have buried the holes after they fall, so in order to avoid that there is no air in the tunnel and the wood supporting the wall cannot ignite, General Lu is leading people to dig the hole.

However, it seems that the Qin army has also discovered our plan, so they are concentrating their arrows on the place where General Lu is, and have sent troops and horses out of the city to fight with our army for the exit of the tunnel. ”

After hearing that the guards who were sent to contact Lu Jin hurriedly reported, Lin Xu, who was taken aback, hurriedly ordered the generals, and he sent three thousand soldiers and horses to the west gate of Huangyin.

Lin Xu felt that it was better to send troops to pursue the enemy out of the city than to cut off his back road, so that not only could the Qin army that went out of the city to attack the tunnel mouth be scared back to the city, but also could maintain maneuver to cover the land to dig through the tunnel.

"Marshal, what does this mean?

What authentic?

Didn't the marshal intend to rush up from those six earthen platforms?

If they charge now, the sons will definitely rush to the head of the city at the risk of death and injury.

But if the marshal hesitates a little, then after the Qin army builds wood and raises the city wall, we will have no chance. ”

Seeing Lin Xu's unprecedentedly worried appearance, Qiuzi, who was excitedly observing the movement at the head of the city, anxiously urged Lin Xudao. Because he found that Lin Xu didn't seem to care much about the six dirt slopes that went straight to the head of the city, but was anxious about what he didn't know about.

Is this tunnel leading to the city more important than the slope that already connects the head of the city to the bottom of the city?

Although he admired Lin Xu's plan to build the earth slope very much, Qiuzi at this time was a little puzzled by Lin Xu's hesitation and reluctance to seek the near and far.

"Qiuzi big head, I won't hide this matter from you.

More than two months ago, I sent 500 soldiers to hollow out the next section of the wall of Huangyin City, and now we only need to wait for the wood that supports the wall to be set on fire to cause the wall to collapse.

When the time comes, what will be the use of these earthen platforms?

But now because of the collapse of the earthen platform, Yu Lihua has guessed my plan, so if Ben Shuai is not wrong, the Qin soldiers must have already dug tunnels in the city to the city, ready to sabotage our plan.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to set fire to the wood and burn down the walls quickly, otherwise if our plan fails, we will lose this decisive battle without fighting us at all.

Do you know that we have only five days' food and grass for our army? ”

Lin Xu's words made Qiuzi's wrinkled face show a look of ecstasy at first, but when he heard that there was not much food and grass, he was suddenly covered with frost.

He led the troops to fight for half his life, and at this time he naturally knew Lin Xu's purpose of concealing grain and grass, so although he was a little dissatisfied with him hiding himself, he understood Lin Xu's decision very well in his heart.

After all, if Lin Xu's plan hadn't encountered the sudden collapse of the earth platform, it would have been perfect.

"So be it, Marshal. I also heard it just now, General Lu Jin is rushing to repair the tunnel, so I don't think it will take much time.

The old man led people to attack the head of the city through the high platform, so that the Qin army at the head of the city would no longer be able to shoot arrows at those tunnel passes, and General Lu's speed would be faster.

How? ”

Looking at Qiuzi's grim expression as if he didn't care about the death or injury of his soldiers and horses, Lin Xu's heart suddenly warmed.

For the first time, he admired the old man of the Rong clan in front of him, and then clenched his fists and said: "I originally thought that it would be best to have a strong army attack the city at this moment, but I always felt embarrassed to trouble the old man. You also know that attacking the city at this moment will inevitably lead to the most fierce counterattack of the Qin army, and the casualties of the sons and daughters will also be very heavy. So ........"

"Okay, don't say it. You people in the customs are really rambling, obviously your subordinates have already suffered more than half of the casualties, you are worried that they will collapse if they can't resist the fierce battle, but you say something embarrassing.

Well, let me show you the demeanor of my warrior on the prairie.

Someone's coming.

Bring the old man's tooth stick, and the old man will personally supervise the battle, so that these Qin people can see our courage. ”

After saying that, Qiuzi took a dark tooth stick and was about to leave the Chinese army, but he heard an instruct from behind Lin Xu: "Old man, half a day, as long as you can hold on for half a day, after half a day, please ask the old man to remove the noble warriors from the city wall."

I'll do the rest. ”

It's just that Qiuzi didn't respond to Lin Xu's somewhat excited words in the slightest, he straightened up his waist and walked away with his dark tooth stick under Lin Xu's gaze.

"Half a day? Maybe it won't take half a day for us to attack Huangyin City. ”

......

"The Rong army is coming!"

"The Rong army is coming!"

At the head of Huangyin City, Zhu Lihua sat on the top floor of the attic at the head of the city, listening to the shouts of the soldiers at the head of the city, and observed the thousands of soldiers under the city rushing up towards the six towering earthen platforms and rushing up like crazy in the face of the rain of arrows.

Because the earthen platforms were so tall that when they toppled over and pressed against the city walls, they made the earth slopes higher than the city's head.

Moreover, the huge pressure destroyed the wooden wall built several feet high on the top of the city in an instant, and made the city head into a mess.

It had become extremely difficult to build wood at the top of the slope, so when the Rong army attacked the city, the wooden wall was less than a man high.

In this way, the Qin army at the head of the city shot arrows at the Rong army on the six dirt slopes like crazy, and similarly, the Rong army on the soil slope also shot cold arrows at the Qin army at the head of the city while running.

Moreover, when the Qin army no longer had the advantage of being condescending, the number of casualties of the Rong army charging under the city was greatly reduced. Because as the effective killing of the Qin army by the Rong army became more and more, the Qin army could no longer shoot arrows calmly.

On the dirt slopes, the soldiers who built the wood were completely affected, because as the soldiers got closer and closer to the city, they became the main objects of care of the archers.

Therefore, I saw that the Qin soldiers who were still minfu two months ago fell one after another on the wood that could not cover themselves, and they did not move. The rest of the soldiers instinctively lay on the wood to avoid the arrows.

As a result, the progress of building the wooden wall came to a complete standstill.

Seeing this, the morale of the charging Rong army was even higher, and they accelerated their charge towards the city with dense flying arrows.

In this way, the two sides gathered up and down the six high platforms, shooting at each other non-stop. Seeing rows of soldiers fall to the ground, rows and rows of soldiers stepped forward and kept unleashing arrows at the enemy not far away.

"Brothers, we can't just watch the archers fight and be indifferent, and those who are not afraid of death will rush with me."

A soldier was waving a long sword in his hand and shouted loudly as he rushed towards the dirt slope that was about to be swept away by the Rong army.

Behind him, hundreds of people stood up from behind the female wall, and rushed to the dirt slope with his main general.

When the exchange of bows and arrows turned into a hand-to-hand encounter, when the stick and axe hands of the Rong army and the Changge soldiers of the Qin army converged, I saw the screams and scolding of the soldiers on both sides rising in unison.

The archers of the Qin army still stood at the head of the city, shooting one deadly arrow after another at the opponent's rear, and the Rong army also relied on the high morale of the individual soldiers to stand out, and constantly beat the Qin soldiers who rushed down the city to retreat.

But the Rong army always attacked from the bottom up, so in the desperate battle without any rest, the courage to charge gradually faded.

After holding each other for nearly an hour, the Rong army that charged upwards under the city and the Qin army that attacked downward at the head of the city slowly stalemate in the halfway waist of the dirt slope.

The fighting continued, and seeing that a stalemate had formed on the dirt slope, Lao Qiuzi immediately ordered to send reinforcements to storm the city.

For a while, I saw thousands of people waving their weapons and rushing through the moat that had been turned into a "bridge" by the collapsed earthen platform, and rushed towards the head of the city.

The situation that had been stalemate on the dirt slope immediately had a slight loosening with the arrival of reinforcements.

"Brothers, let's fight with the Rong people too. The soldiers have been killed for so long, should we just stand by and watch them die one by one? ”

Just as the Qin army on the dirt slope was retreating, some people immediately shouted among the people who were originally building wooden walls but couldn't raise their heads by bows and arrows.

Although he still called those Qin soldiers "soldiers", he didn't know that they were already members of the Qin army more than two months ago. However, this still played a due role in encouraging the soldiers around him who also considered themselves to be "people's husbands".

No one bothered to correct the mistakes in the words of this "people's husband".

"That's right! Brother Wu is right, we can't just lie still like that. ”

"They are going to die, and when they are finished, we who are lying here are still dead, so it is better to fight with them."

"Yes, fight."

The thousands of "Minfu" sergeants who had been hiding from the arrows on the logs and behind the wooden walls quickly came to a consensus, so when they jumped out of the city wall and onto the dirt slope, they really startled the soldiers who came to support.

"Heavenly soldiers?"

Although it was in a life-and-death fight, looking at the countless Qin soldiers who jumped from a height, these Rong people were also a little jealous and scared in their hearts.

"Kill."

"Ulla!"

In the fight, the two sides used their different languages to cheer for themselves, everyone stepped on the corpse of someone who didn't know who, suddenly forward and backward, you fight for me, you advance and I retreat.

The pale-faced Qiuzi looked at the scuffle on the six earthen platforms, and became silent for a while, and at this time he suddenly remembered that Lin Xu had told him to persist for half a day.

It seems that this is not an easy requirement.

And there is still some time to go, but the warriors under his command can't hold on.
