"Shoot the arrows!"

With Meng Zhong's order, on the southern wall of Fangcheng, countless Wei soldiers raised their bows and crossbows and launched a volley towards the Qin army rushing towards the city.

In the face of this rain of arrows, the Qin pawns with shields used their shields to protect themselves, while the Qin pawns who did not hold a shield simply blocked them with their arms in front of them to protect the face door with the weakest defensive ability.

But one thing was the same, that is, these Qin soldiers barely panicked, as if they had already adapted to the arrow attacks on the battlefield, so that the arrows from the walls of Fangcheng City did not cause too effective casualties to these Qin soldiers.

No, the Wei army in Fangcheng only had time to launch two volleys, and the front team of the Qin army had already rushed to the city with long ladders, and began to climb one long ladder after another on the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Meng Zhong couldn't help frowning.

"It's too fast...... The action of the Qin army ......

Scanning the entire battlefield, Meng Zhong said secretly in his heart.

He had to admit that although the world felt that Wei Wushu was the strongest soldier in the world, as far as Meng Zhong saw these Qin soldiers at the moment, their action and state of imminent battle were really no less than Wei Wushu, as if every Qin soldier in the whole army only had the word "victory" in their hearts.

He knew that this was the terrible system of "military merit system", and the system proposed by Wei Ying linked military merit to honor, as if every man in the Qin State had become a war weapon eager for victory and fearless of death.

To be sure, this was not the first time Meng Zhong had come into contact with the Qin army, as early as last year's Battle of Yique, he had already led the Wei army to fight the Qin army, but at that time he did not have such a profound experience as today.

Thinking about it, the Qin army that Meng Zhong faced that day was just a tired division after a fierce battle with more than 200,000 Wei and Han coalition forces, and the mental outlook and combat ability of the Qin soldiers in the army were greatly reduced, but the Qin army he encountered today was a well-recuperated and very energetic Qin soldier on the north bank of the Han River, which made Meng Zhong inevitably have an illusion: This Qin army was stronger and more brave than the Qin army during the battle of Yique that day!

"Siege!"

With the shouts of a Qin army general, countless Qin soldiers climbed the long ladder and climbed towards the top of the city wall.

Seeing this, Wei Xu, who was supervising the battle on the city wall, drew his sword and encouraged Wei Pawn with a calm face: "Don't panic, just use Changge to push Qin Pawn down, they can't attack it." ”

Under the command of Wei Xu, I saw all the Wei soldiers leaning out of the city wall slightly, and kept stabbing the bottom with the Changge in their hands, causing one Qin pawn after another to fall from the long ladder screaming.

But soon, there was a follow-up Qin pawn who immediately took the place of Pao Ze and continued to climb towards the city wall by borrowing a long ladder, and the momentum of the entire army was not leaked.

Is it true that the soldiers of the Qin State are not afraid of death?

Of course not, it's just that Qin's military law is strict, and no one is allowed to take a step back before the commander orders a retreat.

"Attack again!"

Under the city wall, an order from a Qin army general came again, and under his urging, the Qin soldiers once again accelerated the speed of climbing the long ladder, and this also caused the number of Qin soldiers to die in battle to rise sharply.

But even so, the momentum of the Qin army was not weakened, but became stronger and stronger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

I don't know when there was a sound similar to the tapping of gold wood from outside the city, and the sound was rich and extremely neat.

Meng Zhong turned his head and found that in the Qin army's main formation, those Qin soldiers who had not yet participated in the siege were neatly tapping their shields with the Changge in their hands at this moment, making a neat banging sound.

Frowning, Meng Zhong felt that the situation was a little not good.

Under the sound of Qin Jun's neat shield tapping, some bad changes gradually appeared on the walls of Fang City.

For some reason, the movements of the Wei soldiers gradually became less agile than before, and the cooperation between them began to fail.

What's more, it was clear that the two armies had only been engaged in battle for a short time, but the Wei soldiers in the city had already begun to sweat profusely, and even panting.

It was as if there was an invisible shackle around the necks of these Wei pawns, and they couldn't breathe.

『…… The momentum of our army has been suppressed.'"

Seeing the subtle changes in his own soldiers on the city wall, Meng Zhong frowned deeply, turned his head and shouted to the side: "The soldiers who call the drums to increase the sound of the drums, be sure to cover the opposite side!" ”

"Whoa!"

After the order was delivered, the sound of war drums on the city wall immediately increased in volume, but unfortunately, how could this few war drums be equal to the sound of thousands of Qin soldiers outside the city hitting their shields at the same time?

Seeing this, Meng Zhong immediately ordered: "Order Meng Sui and Wu Ying to find a way to stabilize the ...... soldiers."

Before the words fell, suddenly a voice broke out on the west side of the south city wall, Meng Zhong turned his head to look, and was shocked to see the figures of several Qin soldiers on the city wall.

Although there were only a few Qin soldiers, they still bluffed Meng Zhong to the ground.

This was attacked by the Qin army on the city wall?

He couldn't believe it.

"Die!"

In the distance, Wei Xu's roar was heard.

Wei Xu was worthy of the fierce general who was born as the commander of the Wei Wu Pawn Brigade, and found that the defensive area he was responsible for was actually killed by the Qin soldiers on the city wall, so he immediately rushed over and cut down those Qin soldiers to the ground, and then teamed up with the nearby Wei soldiers to block the Qin army's offensive again.

"Hoo ......"

Meng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

But even so, Meng Zhong's small action was discovered by Zheng Zheng, a military commander who was always paying attention to him, who saw that no one was paying attention, and stepped forward and whispered to Meng Zhong: "Fang Cheng Order, why don't you let the soldiers under your command help defend the city?" ”

Meng Zhong was stunned, but even though he understood the reason why Zheng Zheng said this, he shook his head and said: "Zheng Sima's kindness is understood, but the soldiers in the city still insist on living ......."

"Still living on the ground? It's only been a long time since the battle was attacked by the Qin soldiers......

Zheng Zheng's expression was inevitably a little strange.

As if he had guessed Zheng Zheng's thoughts, Meng Zhong said in a low voice: "The change in Fang Cai is only because the soldiers in the city were suppressed by the momentum of the Qin army...... These soldiers are the soldiers under the command of Wei Chi, the commander of the city in front, although they have also been trained here in the past, but they do not have much experience in actual combat after all, not to mention that they were faced by the Qin army as soon as they came up, and their momentum was shocked for a while, and they could not play the original level, so they were attacked by the Qin soldiers on the city wall...... At this time, it is not very useful to blindly increase the troops, the key is to find a way to get these soldiers out of the influence of the Qin army's momentum and restore their morale......"

Zheng Zheng suddenly realized when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Then, how does Fang Chengling plan to revive his morale?" ”

Meng Zhong smiled and said, "Send the elite!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a noisy loud sound on the west side of the city wall again, but unlike before, most of the loud voices this time were the cheers of Fang Cheng Wei's pawns.

Zheng Zheng took a closer look, and then saw Meng Hu holding a sharp sword in his hand, blocking a gap in the Wei army's defense, killing a Qin pawn who tried to rush up from this gap like chopping melons and vegetables.

I saw that this reckless man was killing the enemy, and at the same time boasted to himself without blushing: "The first warrior in Fangcheng Menghu is here, and the little Qin people are not quickly retreating?" Do you want us to cut off the head you are waiting for? ”

After a closer look, the generals of Fangcheng, such as Huahu, Cao Chun, and Cai Cheng, did not know when they went up to the city wall, leading an elite team with a small number of people to assist the Wei soldiers on the city wall to plug the gaps in defense one by one.

Some of the elite squads of Menghu, Huahu, Cao Chun, Cai Cheng and others were not strangers to Zheng Zheng, as if they were Wei pawns they had seen in the Battle of Yique.

It is worth mentioning that it may be that seeing Menghu boasting that he is the number one warrior in Fangcheng, Hua Hu is not far behind, and while killing the enemy, he learns Menghu to brag that he is the number one warrior in Fangcheng, which makes many Wei soldiers on the city wall a little confused: How many first warriors are there in our city?

But in addition to this small suspicion, the appearance of Meng Hu, Hua Hu and others really boosted the morale of the Wei soldiers on the city wall.

Just like Meng Zhong explained to Zheng Zheng, the key is not how many Qin pawns Meng Hu, Hua Hu and others killed, but the key is their ease and calmness when they killed Qin pawns, which made the Wei pawns on the city wall feel at ease.

"Sometimes, bravery is more morale-boosting than strategy......"

Meng Zhong chuckled and said to Zheng Zheng.

Seeing that the crisis has been resolved, and the Wei soldiers in the city have gradually restored the smooth combat atmosphere before under the leadership of Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Cao Chun, Wei Xu, Cai Cheng and other fierce generals, Zheng Zheng said with a smile: "It's too much to say, Meng Hu and Hua Hu are really two tiger generals under the Fangcheng Order, although I live a few years more empty than the two, but I don't think I am the opponent of these two." ”

Hearing Zheng Zheng unreservedly praise Meng Hu and Hua Hu, Meng Zhong was also happy in his heart, but he also knew that in fact, the most worthy of praise should be the actual commander on the city wall, Wu Ying.

It was precisely because Wu Ying commanded the Wei pawns on the city wall for Meng Zhong that Meng Zhong had time to take charge of the overall situation, or chat with Zheng Zheng for a few words.

It's a pity that this eldest brother who is a few years older than Meng Zhong is a stuffy gourd, although Meng Zhong has always felt that Wu Ying is stable and reliable and can be entrusted with important tasks, but to be honest, the two really can't talk.

To be exact, Wu Ying can't talk to anyone.

The momentary shock finally turned into a thrill, and Meng Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Wei pawns on the city wall gradually adapt to the way they fought with the Qin army.

As he said before, these Wei soldiers under Wei Chi, the commander of the city in front, are actually relatively solidly trained, and the skills that should be mastered have basically been mastered, and they are not afraid to kill people or anything, it can be seen that when they were stationed in Fangcheng, they also opened meat.

The only thing these people lacked was the experience of fighting the Qin army.

As long as he can cross this hurdle, Meng Zhong will still look at these soldiers very well.

In contrast, he was a little worried about Bai Qi's side outside the city.

Even if he couldn't bear it, the changes in the city just now made Bai Qi see any clues.

As Meng Zhong guessed, at this moment, Bai Qi was standing on the chariot in his own position, his left hand supporting his right elbow, his right hand touching his chin, and staring at the city wall with interest.

"Interesting......"

He muttered.
