Chapter Seventy-Seven: Under the City 2
"The shaft is extremely rude!" Xin Wu is also a general of the Qin army, and he is not a commoner born as a fighter like Wang Jian, but a real Qin nobleman. In front of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, King Jing actually urinated on himself at the head of the city, which was a great insult. He threw away Lu Lijing, drew his sword and cursed.
More than 300 steps is only more than 500 meters, and although the Qin pawn who shouted 'Kill King Jing and seal the Marquis' under the city can't see the bird that has not yet grown up under Xiong Jing's crotch, every man can understand the action of peeing. Their shouting immediately stopped, and they didn't know what kind of witchcraft King Jing was performing. Because the urn city protruded from the city wall far away, Xiong Jing's movements The Chu army and county guards on both sides of the urn city could also see it clearly, they were first stunned, and then laughed, and the deterrent atmosphere created by the Qin army before disappeared without a trace.
The boy not only urinated high, but also urinated for a long time. Xiong Jing didn't know the reaction of the two armies above and below the city at all, he only felt that his bird was blown by the cold north wind, and before he could urinate cleanly, he hurriedly pulled up his plain clothes, and he didn't care about the urine sticking to his clothes.
"Bullshit Qin Jun, he only deserves to drink urine!" He touched the little bird that hid himself in a trembling way, pointed at the Qin army under the city and scolded, and finally jumped off the women's wall. The generals present laughed heartily when they heard this, and then let the county officials on the city wall shout in unison.
"Bullshit Qin Jun, he only deserves to drink urine!" Tens of thousands of county guards in the city shouted at the north wind, and Xin Wu and others under the city heard it hazy.
"Bullshit Qin Jun, only deserves to drink peeββ!" After the 40,000 armor soldiers in the city joined Qi Hu, the voice reached Xin Wu's ears.
"Siege!" Xin Wu's face was flushed with anger by King Jing's actions, and when he heard this slanderous remark, the hand holding the sword was bruised.
"General, don't attack the city during the day." The strategists around him persuaded that the Chu army had trebuchets, and as soon as the fire bombs thrown landed, several or more than a dozen Qin soldiers were caught on fire and died. I can't see it clearly at night, but during the day, I can see it really, and the fire bombs are accurate one by one.
"Presumptuous!" Xin Wu was really insulted, he kicked the strategist off the chariot, waved his sword and said again: "Siege!" Siege ββ! β
The tunnel could not be dug, and the road was frequently destroyed by the Chu army that left the city in the daytime, and the siege could only be attached to the ants. The main general has an order, and the Qin pawns behind the formation had to push the ladder car forward quickly, and the Qin pawns in the military formation followed closely. No sooner had they entered the city than three hundred paces of bullets rained down from inside the city. In the continuous 'boom' loud sound, the sawdust of the broken ladder and the severed limbs of the screaming soldiers were all smashed by iron bullets and flew wildly in the air.
When they were close to a hundred paces, the arrows on the top of the city flew like locusts, and the soldiers who rushed forward fell in large numbers, and the rest could only hide behind the remaining ladder carts, or gather together to raise their shields, and countless people fell with each step.
Fifty steps below the city, when the ladder car was about to cross the bridge, there was a shout under the city, and the Chu army armor soldiers holding the giant iron spear seemed to cross out of the wall, and the armor and the armor were lined up, regardless of the left and right, only holding the huge iron spear and rushing forward. The unprepared Qin army only cared about blocking the arrows, and was stabbed to death and pierced by the spear before it could organize effective resistance.
"General!" Wang Ben behind him shouted, only hoping that Xin Wu would retreat.
"General!" Wang Jian also beat his horse and galloped to Xin Wu's side, "Jing people have not finished their bullets, and they can't attack the city during the day." β
"If you don't attack the city, the bullets and stones will be gone? Jing people have a lot of food, how can they run out of food in three months? Xin Wu said. Wang Jian's suggestion was to wait for the Jing people to run out of food before launching a general attack, and it was enough to disturb the attack on weekdays, but the order of the King of Qin was to kill the King of Jing within three months, and the more Xin Wu thought about it, the more he felt that there was not enough time. "Drumming, enter! Enter! He shouted angrily.
'Knock knock knock...... 'Drums were beating above and below the city, and a military formation of tens of thousands of Qin troops with the same width as the northern city wall began to advance. From the city, the Qin army looked like a dense forest that could move, pressing towards the city walls. The artillery observers hurriedly waved flags into the city, asking them to replace the shells, and asking each trebuchet to fire as fast as possible. And the crossbow on the city was already shot blindly, and the long arrows flew out horizontally, falling in the forest and not stirring up any waves.
"Array! Arrayββ! The commander of the spear array under the city began to shout array, no one thought that more than 100,000 Qin troops would really advance to attack the city, and the spearmen could only compete with them by leaning their backs against the city gate and forming a large array.
"General, what should I do?" More than 100,000 Qin troops pressed over, and there were only three divisions of spearmen outside the city, more than 13,000 people.
"Mingjin ......" Qin Wei army is 400,000, and he doesn't do anything for five, not to mention that now it is 13,000 against 100,000.
"Let's try the fire bomb first." Xiong Jing interjected. The northern wall has always been the focal point of the defense, and more than thirty trebuchets are deployed here to throw a fire bomb every six seconds. "Tell the artillery to only attack the north gate and shoot quickly."
In the trebuchet position in the city, with the cannon commander shouting, the first fire bomb was thrown high, and urgently, more than 30 other trebuchets also threw fire bombs under the high drink of the gun commander.
'Bangββ! The fire bomb landed, and the flames that were more fierce than during the Battle of Qingshui rose in the array of the Qin army, and several Qin soldiers who were on fire shouted, they shouted and jumped, and the comrades next to them avoided it, and the array was chaotic.
Xin Wu on the rear car watched the fire bomb fall to the ground, but he didn't care. The Qin army's array was more than 2,200 steps wide, and the Chu army's stone-throwing weapons were very limited, and the fire bombs could definitely not stop the advance of the military array.
"Drumming!" Xin Wu shouted, and the drummers who had been ordered to beat harder, and in the rumbling drums, the Qin army continued to advance.
"Bang, bang, bang, bangββ!" The firebomb fell again, and it was the same array where the first firebomb landed before. The Qin army was no thicker than fifty or sixty rows, and one firebomb could not penetrate the queue, but three, four, five, and six ......, and the firebombs continued to fall one after another, even if it was a steel queue, it would be blown up and burned by the firebombs.
'Ahhh...... Fire, fire! Fire! The section of the Qin army array where the fire bombs concentrated the attack collapsed instantly, and the soldiers who were not on fire fled from this place cursed by the Jing people, and the tun commander and the five hundred lords on the chariot after the formation wanted to be suppressed, and suddenly a more violent fire bomb fell, and in the neighing of the horse, the five hundred lords on the car were hit by the fire bombs, and instantly turned into a burning man who waved his sword and screamed.
"Kill! Kill! "Seventy-five steps below the city can dodge the blows of the Chu army's trebuchets, and the Qin army, which is three kilometers wide, rushes forward with a shout, even if there is no enemy in front of it - the section of the array with enemies has been destroyed by the fire bombs thrown by the trebuchet.
"Kill ββ!" Under the gate of the middle gate of the northern city, one in front and two behind, a different kind of shout came from the Yi spear array distributed in the shape of a zigzag, aiming at the vacancy that was smashed by the fire bomb, holding the Yi spear high, and rushing out towards the Qin army formation.
Although the rear reserve of the Qin army had stepped forward to fill the gap that had been blown up by the dense firebombs, the soldiers on the left and right of the gap also consciously opened the horizontal distance of the queue to make up for the vacant positions on their flanks, but the forward military formation made everything they did in vain.
The three spear divisions, each with a standard offensive formation of 72x50, rushed headlong into this gap, and no army formation in the world could block such an impact, not to mention that this was originally a gap.
"Kill!" It was as if a crossbow shot through the thin Chu paper, and the Qin pawn at the gap was immediately pierced by the spear. At this time, the Chu army was no longer the Chu army of last year, and after the spear array penetrated the Qin army's formation, it immediately turned around and killed the rear of the Qin army on both sides of the gap.
The flanks are already the soft underbelly of the horizontal formation, not to mention their own backs. The Qin soldiers, who had never been attacked like this, panicked, some of them turned to the right, some of them turned left, and the direction under the dense queue had to be consistent, once the long soldiers were confused, they would collide with each other and make a mess. Now the weapons of the Qin soldiers were intertwined with each other, and they were completely unable to resist the spears from behind.
"Kill!" The rushing spearmen barely met resistance, stabbing the Qin soldiers in the army like a target of stabbing grass, and when the spear could not be pulled out, they abandoned the spear and drew their swords, slashing with all their might. The army was in chaos again, and the soldiers who could not fight could only move forward to dodge.
It is not wise to attack the city, and it is even more unwise to list a horizontal formation of more than 2,000 steps wide in the face of more than 10,000 Chu troops. Now the horizontal array was pierced by the Chu army's spear formation, and the Qin army lost its armor from the back. Seeing this, Wang Jian couldn't help it, and he shouted: "Please withdraw the general!" β
As soon as he shouted, the rest of the generals also shouted: "Please withdraw the general!" β
......It seems that it is too late for the withdrawal of the troops. As soon as the suspension bridge of the North Central City Gate was released, a group of cavalry rushed out. Ignoring the chaotic Qin army in front of them, the knights galloped through the gap in the array, pointing directly at Xin Wu, the main general of the Qin army three hundred paces away.
"General be careful!" The man on the horse was dressed in great armor, carrying a spear, and the mount under his crotch was also covered with leather armor. The distance of three hundred steps only takes forty or fifty seconds for a galloping war horse, Xin Wu stood on the chariot and commanded the battle, and naturally no one dared to stop him in front of him. When the knight rushed into a hundred paces, the men on the left and right flanks rushed to the front of the cart to try to block the horse's advance.
'Bangββ! Most of the weapons of the soldiers were bronze swords, and the half-ton horses slammed into them, and they were all knocked away. Under the trampling of iron hooves, many people's chests were trampled by war horses. At this time, the chariot was getting closer and closer, and the knight on the horse could even see the yellow teeth that appeared in Xin Wu's mouth when he shouted.
The 'boom......' war horse did not crash into the chariot, but ran past the chariot, but the spear in the knight's hand stabbed Xin Wu. According to Xiongjing's teachings, the riding spear is a disposable weapon that must be let go once it hits an enemy. At the moment when the cavalry spear stabbed Xin Wu, the knight abandoned the spear and drew his sword, and the cavalry knife slashed over the countless short soldiers, harvesting their lives.
"Father!" The heavy cavalry with huge armor that would only appear on the battlefield after a thousand years, and Wang Jian was stunned from the moment he saw them, and he seemed to be able to feel the power of this 'weapon'. Feeling the biting danger, Wang Ben did not block in front of the car like Xin Wu's short soldiers, he jumped deep and pulled his father off the car. It was too late, and at the moment when Wang Jian was knocked down, a riding spear stabbed over and smashed the chariot to pieces.
"Kill!" The original intention of the Qin army was only to cut down the enemy, and the generals did not return to their own arrays, but gathered in the main general Xin Wu. The cavalry of the Chu army suddenly killed, and the short soldiers could not protect them, and many of them were stabbed to death by the cavalry of the Chu cavalry.
The shouting behind him attracted the attention of the Qin soldiers, and when they turned their heads, they saw their main general falling to the ground with a spear, and everyone was stunned.
