Chapter 380: The Battle of Nanyang (1)
Because the two armies are at war.
On the edge of the city wall of Nanyang City, it has also become like a Shura hell, and every moment there are soldiers who fall to the ground and can no longer get up, and you can see the scene of blood and flesh splashing everywhere.
The sound of shouts of killing, and the sound of siege vehicles crashing against the city gates, could be heard even by the people in the inner city.
For the army led by Qin Yin personally to attack Nanyang, they can also know that these people can also know, and when Qin Yin did not personally lead the army to Nanyang, Shangyong and Wuling in Jingzhou have already been attacked by the Qin army.
As for how the war began, they are equally clear.
If it weren't for Liu Biao and Yuan Shao wanting to crusade against Qin Yin, there might not be the current situation.
However, such a thing is not something they can decide.
Even if they stayed away from the city wall and stayed in the inner city, they were still a little panicked, and Liu Biao stopped letting the people enter and leave the city yesterday, and closed the city gate tightly.
Although they had also heard about Qin Yin's presence in Chang'an, when the war began, they still couldn't help the fear in their hearts and were afraid.
Regardless of the people of the city.
The battle on the edge of the city walls continued, and it did not stop.
Although Qin Yin had already sent all his archers, constantly shooting arrows at the city wall, suppressing the offensive on the city wall, and assisting the siege troops, but on the city wall, there were still arrows and stones, blocking the Qin soldiers who wanted to enter the city.
But even if the arrows and stones on the city wall were raining, they still couldn't stop the Qin soldiers from wanting to climb the city wall, and braved the arrows and stones, one after another, towards the ladder to climb the city wall.
When the soldiers in front of them fell, they were replaced.
The siege ladder was pry down, and the soldiers of the Qin army under the city wall quickly resisted the fallen siege ladder and built it on the side of the city wall.
And in front of the city gates.
The soldiers of the Qin army who were using siege vehicles also used the hanging giant logs, one after another, constantly hitting the city gate, trying to knock the closed city gate open and smash it.
As the giant tree slammed into the city gates.
You can also see a lot of dust falling on the walls around the city gate.
You can imagine the force of the impact. 、
If it goes on all the time, it is not impossible to break open the city gate, but Liu Biao on the city wall will not let them get their wish, so that the Jingzhou army on the city wall will throw down big stones and want to smash the siege vehicle.
Moreover, the archers also let the archers shoot rockets, trying to burn the siege vehicles, so that the siege vehicles will not continue to hit the city gates.
After all, the sharp arrows, which did not cause much damage to the siege vehicles, could only kill the soldiers of the Qin army who were pushing the giant trees, but with rockets, it was different.
Above the city walls.
Today's Liu Biao is also nervous, shouting again and again, arranging the Jingzhou army everywhere to resist the Qin army's landing in the city, and also walking around the passage of the city wall.
The original elegant appearance can no longer be seen at this time.
The armor on his body was a little messy, and there were some blood stains, and he was holding a long sword dripping with blood in his hand.
This time, he also saw the courage of the Qin army again, although the Qin army has not yet climbed the city wall, but there are several times, there are several places, but it is for the Qin army to climb to the edge of the city wall, relying on the soldiers to fight hard, only to kill the Qin army on the edge of the city wall, and regain control of the city wall.
Before, when he was crusading against Qin Yin, when he was in Hangu Pass, he had already seen the courage of the Qin army in battle, and only that time was it a head-on confrontation with the Qin army, relying on absolute strength and Yu Ji's help, he was able to take Hangu Pass in a short time.
But it also came at a great cost.
Their casualties were twice as many as those of the Qin army guarding Hangu Pass.
As for the time when they fell for Qin Yin's scheme, it didn't count, because their formation was already out of order.
But no matter how brave the Qin army is, he still needs to hold Nanyang City, and he can't let what the Qin army take, otherwise what will become, even if it is him, it is unimaginable.
Shook his head.
Liu Biao also waved away the thoughts in his mind and concentrated on coping with the situation in front of him.
Now is not the time to think about anything, repelling the Qin army in front of him first is the first thing he has to consider, and the others must be ranked behind.
If you can't resist the Qin army, then no matter how much you think about it, it's useless.
Outside the city.
Not far from the front of the city, Qin Yin and the others have also been paying attention to the situation in the battlefield, and everywhere seems to be a little chaotic, it is not easy to notice Liu Biao.
However, their focus was not on Liu Biao's body, but on the scenes of battles in various parts of the city wall.
"Childe, it should be almost!" Guo Jia arched his hand and said.
Hear Guo Jia's words.
Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu also looked at Qin Yin.
They have also been paying attention to the situation everywhere in the battlefield, and they know that if they want to take Nanyang City in one battle, unless they send all the soldiers out and attack the city at any cost.
That's a lot of certainty.
Now the 30,000 soldiers who are besieging the city want to take Nanyang City in one battle, but it is very difficult.
Although the Jingzhou army is inferior to their soldiers in terms of momentum, as the besieging party, they are still at a certain disadvantage.
Sometimes, you don't have to rely on momentum to win.
Of course, having momentum is also a requirement for the army to win, otherwise, how can an army that does not even have the will to fight be able to win the battle?
An army that does not have the will to fight, even if it has the ability, it will not be able to fully exert itself.
Although the Jingzhou army is not very strong, it still retains a certain fighting spirit, and if it wants to completely defeat it, the price paid is not a little.
After all, this is not a battle on the plains, but a siege war.
If it is in the plains, face to face, it will be very different, at least it will not be like now, the Jingzhou army is condescending and occupies a favorable state.
"Mingjin, collect the troops!" Qin Yin said.
He never thought of taking Nanyang City in one battle, it wasn't too realistic.
If it is possible, the siege of the city now will not only send 30,000 soldiers to it, but the whole army will press it together.
Now that I have understood, I have also got what I wanted.
There is no need to spend any more time with the Jingzhou army, collect the troops first, and then slowly figure it out.
This is also the strategy they have made before.
"No!"
Guo Jia and others also responded.
Soon.
The army stopped beating the war drums, stopped, and sounded the golden gong.
