In March, the suburbs of Yingjiao are already fragrant grass, flowers, the upper is coming, and it is the car of the nobles who go out of the city and enter the city. It's just that unlike previous years, these chariots are either placed with halberds, or there are several huge iron spears two feet and four feet long. The chariot was accompanied by a retinue of servants in armor, who also carried a spear.

This is the children of the Gong clan who rushed to Yingdu from the county one after another, some scattered, some hugged the front and back, and some were neat and lined up. As usual, each team has a banner with a surname written on it: or Shu'e, or Shuzhuang, or Shuqu, or Shuhong, or Shushen Yin, or Shumeng, or Shuzhu....... The banner was waving in the wind, and the soldiers were clearly armored, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered Ying, but after these soldiers received weapons from Gaoku, they all went to Shaobi and never appeared in Yingdu again.

Standing outside the south gate, the lone traveler turned a blind eye to his surroundings, he only looked at the person in front of him, who was bowing to him, and shouted in his mouth: "The servant of the county prince of Tang County is extended, and he meets Dou Gongzi." ”

Zhan Du's head slammed on the ground, and the lone traveler couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw this. "I'm not a clan, I'm not a child......"

"Childe once showed his sword in the wine shop, and once drank in the sword city. The sword of the Stygian Mountain is peculiar, non-copper and non-iron, and it is a residual sword, so the county is known about it. Zhan Du explained in detail why he appeared in Yingdu, he was ordered to look for someone.

"It turned out to be the sword." If you can call out the name of the sword of the Stygian Mountain, you will naturally know the history of the sword owner. "I'm not the fighting boy you said, if you want this sword, give me ten gold, and the sword will be yours." While speaking, the lone traveler really threw the sword to Zhan Du, and he didn't ask for gold, but only turned around and walked away in a dashing manner, and only after walking for a while did he pass a sentence: "Ten gold can be sent to that wine shop." You're welcome. ”

"When will Childe be hidden? If you are not the queen of Ruo Ao, how can you worship the ancestors of Ruo Ao? Zhan Du shouted at the lone wanderer's back with his sword in his hand. The county public heard that you are now in Yingdu, and you are already on the way to Ying......"

The lone traveler walked farther and farther, and Zhan Du finally saw his back flash into the crowded south gate and disappear. What he didn't see was that the lone traveler who walked through the south gate was already in tears, and the pedestrians on both sides were all looking at him strangely.

"It's ready, put it ......!" A hoarse voice, red eyes, and smudged armor. Chen Ying's artillery position in Wangcheng, and the artillery chief Zhuang Ji was shouting and firing the cannon. As soon as he finished shouting 'release', an order came from a distance to stop shooting, and this voice was also hoarse: "The king has an order, stop shooting!" The king has an order, stop shooting! ”

"Stop... Shoot. Zhuang Ji lost his voice. After the Chu army retreated into the royal city, there was no longer Huze to protect it, and it was already grounded on all sides, so the artillery soldiers often needed to move their positions. The trebuchet weighed fifty or sixty thousand pounds, and every time he moved his position, it cost the old life of the artillery, and Zhuang Ji's voice was hoarse like this.

"Stop...... Hit! He shouted again, but was still silent. Fortunately, the other artillery commanders were shouting to stop shooting, so the turntable stopped rotating, and the three pawns in the plate were so tired that they had no strength to climb out, and they only lay on the plate panting.

At this time, the position was forty paces behind the city wall, so that the range could reach the farthest. This was not a safe position, and from time to time enemy arrows from outside the city crossed the city and landed on the position. The earth-shattering shouts of the enemy outside the city as they attacked the city also came through the walls.

It had been more than ten days since he retreated into the royal city, and the screaming outside the city had never stopped. The Qin and Wei armies, which did not immerse themselves in the city, once again used rotation tactics, and they were attached to the ants around the clock, giving the defenders in the city any respite. Because of this, Zhuang Ji couldn't understand why the king ordered to stop shooting. This is by no means the time to save artillery shells, and some of the artillery shells behind him are all rushed in when they retreat into the royal city.

"Kill King Jing! Kill the King of Thorns! Kill King Jing ......" As soon as the shelling stopped, amid the continuous sound of drums, a tsunami-like shout came from outside the city. The Qin soldiers with spears in their hands rushed to the city, braving the rolling wood and stones, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and climbing the ladder in a vain attempt to attack the city. Under the city gate, on the moat that had already been filled, the huge rushing car was hurriedly pushed by the Qin soldiers, and the first blow of the rushing car slammed the city gate to the ground, and the mud debris used for fire prevention between the copper nails on the door fell one after another.

"Crash! Hit again! The commander shouted, and he shouted twice, and an arrow shot through the chisel knocked him down.

'Bang——、 bang——、 bang——、 'The drums are ringing angrily, the soldiers are shouting, and in the impact again and again, the shaking of the city gate is getting bigger and bigger, and the Chu soldiers in the city gate are getting more and more panicked, and the arrows in the chiseled door have been fired indiscriminately, and some arrows even flew over the huge rushing car and shot behind the car.

"Crash! Bump! Bump! "Under the roof of the car, the copper rope hung more than four feet thick punching wood, the front end of the punching wood was a hideous bronze crashing head, with the cooperation of nearly a hundred soldiers, the bronze crashing head hit the city gate again and again. The copper nail at the place of impact has long been off, and the copper skin of the door has been deeply concave, but the city gate has not been broken for half an hour.

"Stop!" Another tun commander suddenly gave the order to stop the impact, but the stop was only for a moment, and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up!" Add to the disease! ”

Previously, because of his eagerness, Chongmu did not swing to the highest, and the strength of the impact was not enough. The commander shouted to stop so that the soldiers would swing the punch to the highest, so that the force of the impact was the greatest.

"Bang ——!" An even duller voice came, and the sweaty tun chief shouted again: "Stop! Plus illness also. ”

"Bang ——!" Another heavy blow, a 'click', and an exclamation from behind the door.

"Stop! Add illness, add illness and ......" Without waiting for the tun commander to shout again, nearly 100 soldiers took the initiative to shout. Chong Mu was swung to the highest point by them, and then everyone used all their strength to push forward. "Bang ——!" The car shook violently, and the bronze head finally broke through the city gate, stuck in the hole in the door. The Chu pawn inside the door was even more anxious, and a dense rain of arrows shot out of the hole.

"The gates are broken! The gates are broken! "There are shouts inside and outside the door, the difference is that inside the door is panic, and outside the door is cheering.

"Report ——!" The commander hurried to the banner and shouted: "Report to the general, the north gate has been broken." ”

"Hurry into the city, enter the city quickly!" Meng Wu didn't want to think about it, so he ordered his soldiers to enter the city,

"Report to the general," another herald rushed in, "the east gate has been broken!" ”

"The East City Gate is also broken?!" Meng Wu first had an incredulous expression, and then laughed: "Could it be that the Jingren City Gate is made of Chu paper?" ”

"King Jing has many skills, and he must be guarded against." Wei Mi on the side suggested, he also found it a little strange to break through the city gate so quickly. "Before entering the city, the hanging gate needs to be resisted, and the hanging door can only enter the city."

The hanging gate is the jack gate, and the most common tactic used by the defending side is to put a part of the soldiers into the city first, and then suddenly lower the jack gate to intercept and kill.

"Herald: Resist the hanging gate before entering the city!" Meng Wu ordered. He looked again at the head of the royal city. There was still a fierce battle in the city, but what was surprising was that there were not many Chu soldiers stationed on the city wall, but no matter how many people rushed up, they were all killed by those Chu pawns, and then left the city.

Meng Wu's order was immediately transmitted to the front line, and Bai Lin, the commander in charge of the east gate, looked at the cheering rushing soldiers inside the city gate with some disbelief. Chu pawn seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't guard the city gate at all. "Remember, hold the hanging gate before you enter the city! Beware of volts. ”

"Hey!" The gates of the city were wide open, and the lieutenant under his command was as impatient as a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat. Fortunately, Bai Lin's order did not forget the light, and the captain shouted loudly to resist the hanging door.

"Kill King Jing and make him a marquis! Kill King Jing and make him a marquis! The soldiers below shouted violently, and the procession towards the gate was not chaotic. The warriors and the soldiers rushed to the front, and the rest of the people followed closely with battle flags and spears, and everyone shouted and rushed into the breached city gate.

"Kill!" At the west gate of the royal city, the Wei army was not as particular as the Qin army, and they rushed in after breaking through the city gate. When I squeezed through the doorway of the Great Wall for five or six zhang, I just got out of the city gate and found that the front was squeezed, and the crowd could only turn to the sides. At this time, the soldiers saw that there was a high wall outside the city gate, and the wall facing the city gate was carefully smeared with a white mirage, and the mirage painted the streets, houses, and the sky inside the city. If you don't get closer, no one will be able to get out, and it's a wall.

The width between the gate and the painted wall was only six or seven zhang wide, and the soldiers who poured into the city could only walk along the wall to both sides. The painting wall is very long, and after walking through the city gate, a trench more than two zhang wide suddenly appeared on the side of the city wall. The trench was so deep that every time a comrade in the city slipped down, he would fall on the sharp wood and stab him to death, and the trench was full of corpses, and some of the undead were still groaning. When I looked up at the high wall, I saw that the side of the wall against the city had been cut into a steep slope, and as soon as my comrades stepped on the top of the city, they would stand unsteadily, and fall down screaming.

The presence of the trench narrows the road, but the soldiers behind them are still surging, and even if they don't want to go, they will be pushed along. The painted wall is long and extends to the wall on the other side. The Wei pawns who poured in could see Chu pawns standing on the painting wall, their eyes were cold, and they looked at themselves as if they were looking at a pile of corpses that had long since died.

"Put!" On the city gate, the soldiers who felt the time suddenly waved their flags, and the rolling logs on the city tower were pushed down together. Wei Zu, who was still looking at the landscape painting in the city, was suddenly caught off guard, and everyone hurriedly raised their shields. But it was useless to raise a shield, and there was another shout from the top of the city, "Ignite the fire!" ”

'Boom——! The light oil with the flame poured down and set the fallen wood on fire in an instant.

"Ahh Ah......h They were deprived of life for a while, and their bodies, whether strong or emaciated, were soon roasted out of the corpse oil and burned along with the wood.

At the same time, a small group of migrants with spears at both ends of the wall began to advance along the wall towards the city gate. The width between the wall and the trench was no more than four feet, and only eight men could stand side by side, and the entire army formation was no more than five rows. Although the number of people was small, the forty Yi spears could be stabbed forward together, and they advanced step by step, stepping on Wei Zu's body that had not completely lost his breath with each step.

Killing, never been so efficient. The Wei soldiers trapped between the walls and trenches seemed to be waiting in line to die, even if they risked their lives to pounce on the sanitation, or fought back with long soldiers with their lives, the bronze soldiers could only make a clanging sound when they hit the giant armor, and they could not stop the spearmen from advancing in the slightest.
