Volume 1 Don't Look Back Chapter 57 Thunder (I)
Outside the city of Yuanyuan, Wei Chen sat on horseback dressed in white, looking at the city within reach in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face. The 30,000 Rong Di soldiers behind him were in full swing, and in the opposite Yuanyuan City, he didn't believe that there was any morale at all.
Even if they expect to take the Pig Yuan City in their hands without bloodshed, there are still some things that need to be done, otherwise even if the Pig Yuan City is attacked, in addition to slaughtering the city, those Qin people will not really obey themselves from their hearts.
The sun is on the sun, and it is the best time to attack the city. Wei Chen pulled out the scimitar in his hand, pointed at the put down of the Yuan City, and shouted loudly: "Siege the city." ”
The low horn was sounded by several Rongdi soldiers, and in the sound of the horn, thousands of Rongdi cavalry urged the war horses under them to start accelerating. Then the second wave, the third wave of Rongdi cavalry began to accelerate towards the city of Fenyuan.
Seeing that the Rong Di cavalry began to accelerate, the face of the general defending the city showed a trace of disdain, could it be that those war horses could not break through the city wall, this is simply a fool's dream.
"Draw your bow, set up your arrows, and prepare to shoot the Rongdi cavalry." The general who defended the city said loudly to the surrounding soldiers and the Qin people.
Hundreds of Qin soldiers took out their bows and arrows, drew their long bows, and pointed their arrows at the Rongdi cavalry who were getting closer and closer. Perhaps he has never seen such a scene, at the head of the city of Yuanyuan, a Qin man looked at the Rong Di soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and in a panic, his fingers lost his strength and released the bowstring in his hand.
The arrow was like a meteor, shooting quickly towards the Rong Di soldiers, but the arrow was inserted in the Rong Di cavalry far away, after all, it was still far away from those cavalry.
"Nonsense, who let you release arrows without permission, listen to my command and then release arrows later." The general guarding the city looked at the Qin man just now with an unkind face.
The Qin man was in a panic, his body trembled slightly, and after listening to the scolding of the general guarding the city, he hurriedly nodded and apologized.
At this moment, those Rongdi cavalry also came to a place less than a mile outside the city of Fenyuan, began to bend their bows and arrows, and then about two hundred steps away from the city wall, released the bowstring that had already been drawn in their hands, and in an instant, thousands of arrows flew towards the head of the city of Fenyuan.
The Qin army at the head of the city and the Qin people who participated in the defense of the city saw so many arrows flying towards the city, and they all lowered their heads, and several Qin people saw the Rong Di cavalry release their arrows, and also released the bowstring in their hands, just slowing down for such a moment, several arrows came out of the bodies of those Qin people. After the Rongdi cavalry released their arrows, they turned their horses' heads and galloped to both sides, while the cavalry that followed behind them loosened their bowstrings towards the city.
Waves of arrows rained down on the city, making everyone in the city afraid to take their heads, but despite this, dozens of soldiers and Qin people still lost their lives in these arrows that flew over the city.
The cavalry continued to shoot arrows in their hands on both sides, and those Rongdi foot soldiers took advantage of this gap to run to the city of Yuanyuan, and a series of rough wooden ladders were erected on the city wall, and then one by one Rongdi soldiers held scimitars in their hands, and continued to climb along the wooden ladders.
Finally, the Rong Di cavalry stopped shooting arrows, and the Qin army and Qin people at the head of the city breathed a sigh of relief, and some of the bold Qin people stood up and looked outside the city, and immediately found those Rong Di foot soldiers who were constantly climbing along the wooden ladder.
"There are Rongdi barbarians on the city wall." The man yelled, then picked up a large rock and slammed it downward.
The power of the big stone was naturally undoubted, and the Rong Di foot soldier tilted his body and fell down the wooden ladder with the companion under him, but this did not stop the footsteps of the remaining Rong Di foot soldiers, but made those Rong Di tribes speed up their climbing.
The Qin army and the Qin people who participated in the defense of the city also quickly stood up, looked under the city wall, and saw those Rong Di foot soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and they all picked up the heavy objects that had been prepared around them and smashed them hard. In an instant, there were bursts of screams and the sound of bodies falling to the ground from the city wall.
Some Qin soldiers picked up the bows and arrows in their hands and shot long arrows into the bodies of Rong Di's foot soldiers under the city, and it didn't take long for a large number of corpses of Rong Di foot soldiers to pile up under the city wall.
Seeing that the siege had been blocked, Wei Chen didn't have much to worry about, waved his hand, and rushed out of the Rong Di army with a cavalry team of four or five hundred people, these cavalry were all strong and strong, and the longbows on their bodies seemed to be much larger than those previous cavalry. These cavalrymen rushed towards the city from both sides, and soon came to a mile outside the city, stopped beyond the range of the Qin army's bows and arrows, took the longbow from their bodies, and shot the arrows in their hands at the Qin troops who were emerging from the city wall.
One by one, the arrows flew towards the city wall like meteors, and before everyone could react, they pierced the heads of the Qin army one by one.
A Qin soldier was still shooting arrows at the city just now, and at this time, as if he had been violently impacted, his body staggered behind him, and he fell to the ground limply, with a black arrow stuck in his forehead.
"Archers, shoot those Rongdi cavalry." The general defending the city shouted loudly with a pale face. The tragic sight of the soldier who had been pierced through the head by an arrow really startled him.
Several archers listened to the words of the defending general, and immediately drew the longbows in their hands, and shot arrows towards the Rongdi archers who stopped in place. But those Rongdi cavalry did not move their feet, like live targets, standing in place, waiting for the Qin army to shoot them.
But it backfired, and these arrows with the hope of the Qin army were inserted in front of those Rongdi archers, and only one archer was shot by the arrow because he was standing relatively far forward, and his body fell to the ground as soon as he was crooked. As these Rong Di archers retreated a few steps in unison, they began to bend their bows and arrows again, looking for the Qin army who dared to show their heads on the city wall.
As time passed, one by one the Qin troops fell, without exception, all of them were pierced through the heads by arrows, and the tragic situation made the people guarding the city on the city wall tremble, and they did not dare to show their heads, so they could only throw wood and stones off the city wall indiscriminately.
Wei Chen looked at the scene in front of him, and a smile appeared on his face. The siege was an attempt by him to find a way to change the way warfare was conducted.
Those archers are also the strong and excellent archery soldiers he selected from the Rong Di soldiers for a long time, in order to get a surprise effect.
Soldiers, tricksters, no matter what method he uses, as long as he can achieve victory, he will not hesitate to use it. Moreover, the reason why he dared to do this was that there were no large city defense equipment in Fenyuan City. Even if there is a powerful city defense equipment, it has lost its effect under its own arrangement.
Wei Chen still stood in place, listening to the sound of the horn behind him, admiring the mesmerizing scene in front of him.
At this time, the general defending the city of Yuanyuan City didn't care about getting angry with the soldiers around him, because one or two Rong Di foot soldiers had already climbed the city wall from the wooden ladder and fought with the surrounding Qin army and Qin people.
By this time, all the soldiers had been requisitioned to this wall, and they began to behead one of the Rongdi infantry soldiers under the sword, but despite this, more and more Rongdi soldiers climbed the wall.
Struggled to cut down the Rong Di soldiers in front of him to the ground, the city guard general looked at more and more Rong Di soldiers on the city wall covered in blood, and his heart was full of despair, if it was according to the speed, I am afraid that the Rong Di foot soldiers would not have to wait for dark, and the Rong Di foot soldiers would be able to occupy the entire city.
The destruction of the city was only a matter of moments. Thinking of the tragic situation after the city was broken, the general defending the city had a trace of regret in his heart, knowing this, he agreed to surrender yesterday. But at this point, all the plans seem to have come to naught.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared on the walls of Yuanyuan City, carrying a long sword and rushing towards those Rongdi soldiers. I saw that the black figure had sharp swordsmanship, and with a sword slash, several Rongdi tribesmen covered their necks and fell behind them with incredible faces.
Ignoring the Rong Di tribe who fell to the ground, the black figure kept changing figures at the head of the city, and it didn't take long to kill dozens of Rong Di soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city.
"Well done. Kill me together. I don't know which Qin man said it aloud, and he also picked up the long sword in his hand and slashed at the head of a Rong Di foot soldier who was about to ascend to the top of the city.
It didn't take long for arrows to shoot at the black shadow one after another, and the Rong Di archers, who had obviously been guarding outside the city, spotted the man in black and wanted to shoot the man in black, but the arrows were dodged by the black figure.
Then a child dressed in black, also carrying a long sword, rushed to the city, and not only that, but also carried a long sword wrapped in linen behind him.
These two black figures are naturally Wu Shang and Qin Chuan. As soon as the two of them walked near the city, they saw the Rongdi tribe attacking the city. Fortunately, the Rongdi tribe did not besiege Fenyuan City from all sides, but chose to attack it from one side, so Wu Shang was able to take Qin Chuan into Fenyuan City.
Taking out sweet potatoes and radishes from the general's mansion, Wu Shang took Qin Chuan to the city gate in front, Wu Shang saw that Rong Di's foot soldiers had rushed to the city, hurriedly drew his long sword, and his figure flashed, and he joined the battle.
"Look, isn't that the son of our Qin State?" A Qin man who had seen Qin Chuan saw Qin Chuan coming to the city and shouted in surprise.
The Qin man's words attracted the onlookers of the surrounding people, and when he saw Qin Chuan's appearance clearly, although he had some doubts in his heart about how Qin Chuan escaped from the Rong Di military camp, his heart was extremely excited.
The general guarding the city naturally also saw Qin Chuan, his eyes rolled, and then he opened his mouth and roared loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the prince of Qin is in danger for the sake of Yuanyuan City, and we will fight hard to kill the enemy and protect the prince." Coexist and die with Hirohara Castle. After speaking, he waved the long sword in his hand and rushed towards the nearby Rongdi soldiers.
After listening to the words of the general defending the city, both the Qin army and the Qin people who helped defend the city around were in good spirits, and they began to step forward to kill the enemy.
At this moment, an arrow flew quickly over the head of the defending general, so frightened that the defending general immediately squatted down and retreated.
The guards guarding the city and the Qin people just glanced at the general guarding the city, their eyes were full of a look of disdain, and even the guards who had been guarding the city guarding the general also threw down the generals around them and began to join the ranks of attacking the Rong Di soldiers.
At this time, Qin Chuan's black clothes were already dyed red, and the blood continued to fall to the ground along the tip of the long sword in his hand. With the flexibility of his body, several Rong Di foot soldiers had fallen under his sword, and he had just suffered the fear of killing, and in the face of the blood that spurted out, he felt that his blood was burning, boiling, and there was a faint feeling of comfort in his heart.
The one who hurt the most and killed the most was Wu Shang, he seemed to be born to kill, no Rong Di pawn could hurt him, and after a while, a layer of corpses had been lying beside him. But after a long time of rushing and killing, Wu Shang's body was also a little unbearable, and his movements were not as flexible as before.
A scimitar suddenly looked towards Wu Shang's back, and it was about to look at Wu Shang's body, and Wu Shang had just inserted the long sword into the body of a Rong Di foot soldier at this time, but it was too late to dodge.
A long sword blocked the path of the scimitar, and the scimitar struck the sword with a crisp sound. And Wu Shang took advantage of this momentary stagnation, his figure flashed, he drew his long sword, and as soon as his body turned, a wound appeared on the neck of the Rong Di foot soldier, and the Rong Di foot soldier immediately threw the scimitar in his hand, covered his neck with both hands, and staggered towards the back.
Wu Shang threw a grateful look at Qin Chuan, and then began to continue to kill.
As time passed, there were more and more corpses on the city walls, and there were still dense Rongdi foot soldiers below the city who began to climb according to the wooden ladder.
Seeing that the city wall was still not taken down, Wei Chen raised his eyebrows, and said to himself: "Is there something that can't happen?" ”
To be on the safe side, Wei Chen began to order a retreat. As a horn sounded, the originally menacing Rong Di foot soldiers retreated like a tide.
Looking at the corpses piled up on the city wall, everyone showed a sad look on their faces, and for Wu Shang and Qin Chuan, who were covered in blood, a trace of awe appeared in everyone's eyes.
"The Qin army will win, and the Yuan Yuan will win." A Qin man shouted loudly.
Everyone began to cheer. Even the general defending the city had a relaxed look on his face, no matter what, the city was finally defended.
Wu Shang looked at the scarred Qin people in front of him and the corpses all over the ground, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Qin Chuan looked up at Wu Shang and looked at each other, both of them seeing the worry in each other's eyes.
This war may have just begun.
