Chapter 618: Counterattack

The generals below saw that the arrows were released like this, but it had no effect, so they stretched out their hands and signaled his men to stop shooting arrows upward, and this time it was their turn to counterattack.

"Bring the thatch!"

Under the command of Captain Li, the soldiers on the roof of the building collected the arrows they had just shot one by one, tied them to the thatch, and shot them at once.

The generals below didn't expect that they would actually use the swords they shot out to reuse, but the spearhead was aimed at themselves, and they were shocked.

"Brothers, back off! Go back! ”

Seeing that these soldiers retreated one after another, but they couldn't escape, with the order of Captain Li, these straw bales had been shot down, the thatch bales were very large, and it was not easy to extinguish, and these soldiers had no water source downstairs to extinguish the fire, and they couldn't run away, this thatch pile shot into their bodies, igniting a raging fire.

Qin Zhao always had a grim look on his face, he had been fighting abroad for many years, so this kind of scene had long been used to it.

The soldiers below retreated to safety and then stopped where they were.

"Brothers, today I put the order of the Queen Mother, we must break through this city gate, and now I order anyone who attacks this city gate will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold when he turns around!"

When the soldiers below heard this, they were excited, and they rushed forward in an instant, and Qin Zhao looked at this scene calmly, with a calm look on his face all the time.

Sure enough, the soldiers below began to try to release their spears and throw them on the tower, and sure enough, one of his long hairs was thrown on the tower and hooked the gate, so he tried to climb up the rope.

Seeing that hundreds of people below were squeezing their heads and trying to climb up, Mrs. Li was also a little anxious at this time.

"Who dares to climb up to this, come up and cut off a head!"

At this moment, the first person was about to climb to the city gate, and Captain Li raised his sword and swung his sword down, and a head rolled to the ground, and then his body also fell to the ground, so frightened that the soldiers below all bounced away and were startled.

Looking at the menacing Captain Li above, and the soldiers below, although they were stunned in their hearts, they also wanted to be the first to go to the city gate in exchange for a bounty.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In order to wave his hand, the soldiers on the city tower all picked up bows and arrows, and the archers squatted in front of the city gate, protected themselves with shields, and then aimed at the people who were climbing, but there were too many people to climb.

The generals below saw the resistance upstairs and waved their hands, so the people below also began to shoot arrows, and above the city gate and under the city gate, it was instantly black and oppressive, and countless arrows shuttled in and out of the air.

Qin Zhao frowned tightly, Taiwei Li was also a little flustered in his heart at this time, if he didn't release arrows underneath, he was still confident that he would be able to resist these attackers, but now that the people below began to release arrows, they had to dodge for the safety of the soldiers.

In this way, someone immediately climbed to the top of the city tower, Taiwei Li frowned, looking at a person in front of him who was about to climb the city tower, his eyes flashed with greed, Taiwei Li raised his foot mercilessly and kicked this person down.

But in the next second, he was hit by an arrow in the arm, and Captain Li took a few steps back helplessly.

"Ahh These pups, the old man wants them all to die today! ”

Taiwei Li's eyes instantly turned blood-red, he rushed forward and raised his sword, brandishing those swords in the air, many swords were beaten back by him and fell to the ground, but the people underground have always been climbing up, not one or two, but hundreds or thousands, even if there are more archers, they can't aim at so many people at once.

"Come on, come on, none of you want to come in at this east gate today, the old witch of the Queen Mother is destined to be damned!"

Taiwei Li was very excited at this time, he looked at the general thief below and hated the Queen Mother in his heart, he hated the Queen Mother enough on weekdays, and now he saw that the Queen Mother was going to rebel, and his heart was even more angry.

But when he shouted angrily, he stood up, and instantly became a target for arrows, and the archers below had already aimed at Captain Li.

Qin Zhao's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and pulled Taiwei Li back, and Taiwei Li fell to the ground, but he still didn't dodge, and another piece of blood rushed on his shoulder, which suddenly flowed.

"Come on, help Mrs. Li down and heal Mrs. Li's injuries well!"

Qin Zhao frowned tightly, but when Taiwei Li heard this, he shook his head, he refused to go down.

"The emperor must not, it is the emperor who guards the east gate, the responsibility of the power you assign, even if you die, you must guard this city gate, and you must not let the old witch of the queen mother succeed!"

"Captain, I know that you are very eager to protect the city, but now you have been hit by two arrows, blood is flowing, if you continue to command the battle here, I am afraid that you will die of blood loss, I will not let such a thing happen, you go down to recuperate, recover from your injuries, I still need you a lot!"

As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the guards next to him carried Captain Li down, Qin Zhao could only step forward to fight in person at this time, commanded the guards next to him, and was very nervous, protecting Qin Zhao on the side, Qin Zhao saw the soldiers below, constantly climbing up, and the upper and lower rows of archers shot at each other.

"Tell someone to come down and bring some stones, the bigger the better!"

Qin Zhao ordered to go down, and soon there were soldiers, carrying baskets and baskets of stones, which were transported from the bottom to the city tower through ropes, Qin Zhao motioned to the soldiers to lift these stones, and some people kept climbing up, and these stones were thrown directly down, and people were constantly being hit by stones and rolling to the ground.

At the gates of the city, a large number of people had fallen, and blood flowed.

Many soldiers who were climbing up at the bottom found that the stones were rolling down continuously, and they were a little panicked, many people retreated, and the generals below saw it, but the expression on their faces was even more angry, so Qin Zhao didn't expect that there were still these methods, so that their soldiers suffered heavy losses, how to explain to the Queen Mother this time?

"Keep going up for me, the person who rushes up is 100,000 taels of gold!"

The general continued to shout, Qin Zhao also waved his hand, signaling the stones to continue rolling down, and sure enough, the stones were smashed down one by one, and there were already a large number of corpses at the bottom, lying upright, and the ground was no longer the original color, but was dyed a large patch of red.

Qin Zhao originally wanted to order to tie straw on top of the arrows and throw them below, so that the fire could drive away the soldiers who were attacking below, but this city gate was a wooden structure, and if these soldiers caught fire, this city gate would probably be burned to ashes, and this method would not work, so they could only bring stones.

"My lord, this city gate really can't go up!"

The people below have been constantly climbing up, I don't know how long this night has passed, looking at the original 3,000 people, now only a few hundred people are here, and the generals below are also scared in their hearts at this time.

He sat on the ground dejectedly, the expression on his face looked a little desperate, Qin Zhao stretched out his hand to signal the archer next to him, and handed him this pair of bows and arrows, Qin Zhao picked up the bow and arrow, raised the bow and arrow, inserted an arrow, and aimed at the general below.
