Chapter 60: Under Siege
Wang Ben, who remounted his war horse, felt like an eagle with wings, although he killed dozens of enemies during the landing battle, but the experience of relying on his own legs to fight was not very good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info if possible, he still likes the feeling of galloping.
Not far in front is Yanjing City, under the strong reflection of the sun, Wang Ben can even see the reflection of the tile on the Yanwang Palace.
A team of troops marched down the city, and they were armed with swords and guns. In the gap in the line, Wang Ben even saw two bed crossbows. When he saw the bed crossbow Wang Ben, he complained a little about the Yun family, why such a powerful weapon should be sold all over the world. Many of his guards died under the crossbow of the bed. Whenever that huge buzzing sound sounded, Wang Ben felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. It's so fast that you and Ben don't have time to dodge. Even if it is a heavily armored person, or a warrior in the Modao Battalion, it is definitely difficult to be spared if they are hit by one.
The Qin army crossed the Yishui River so easily, and the army of 100,000 Yan States was like a layer of soft eggs, which could be uncontrollable with a light stab. For the combat effectiveness of the Yan army, Wang Ben has been contemptuous to the extreme. In fact, the Qin army thought from top to bottom. As long as you arrive at the city of Yanjing, the monarch of Yan will wait at the gate of the city with a sealed letter. Then he was put into a prisoner car by the soldiers of the Qin army and sent to Xianyang to vent his anger on the frightened king. And this capital of Yan will be sacked by the Qin army, which can be regarded as a commemoration of the brothers' trip to Yan Kingdom.
Now there is a well-groomed army under Yanjing City, which makes Wang Ben a little unexpected. While he was still hesitating, the thick crossbow had already penetrated the body of the guard. The huge inertia flew upside down with the guards, and flew out of the air like a kite before being pinned to the ground. The ballista went through the chest, but the man was not dead. With blood spurting from his mouth, he struggled constantly, and even tried to pull out the crossbow gun with his hands.
"Kill ......!" Wang Ben immediately wielded the halberd, and at the same time hung the round shield hanging from the horse's buttocks on his arm with one hand. As soon as the round shield was erected in front of him, he felt a shock in his arm. A sharp arrow revealed half an inch of the round shield, and the war horse under the crotch also neighed. Looks like he's been hit by a crossbow bolt too!
With the momentum of the war horse, Wang Ben pierced a Yan sergeant with a long halberd. Let go of the halberd, and the saber is unsheathed like lightning. The sound of a sharp blade splitting bones clearly reached my ears.
The blood rushed Wang Ben's body, and before Wang Ben could refresh himself from the excitement. Three or four spears had already penetrated the chest of the war horse under his crotch, and Wang Ben's body sank and immediately threw off the stirrup. Ever since the stirrup was introduced, there is no telling how many cavalrymen have been dragged to death by frightened horses hanging on stirrups. Wang Ben had seen those mutilated corpses more than once, and if he died like that, he would rather give himself a good time.
The round shield did not let go, and there was a feeling of a strong blow from above. Wang Ben felt that his arm was numb, but the hand holding the saber still slashed hard. Screams rang out, and the two human feet were still standing on the ground. But men have fallen to the dead and wounded, and let out the most painful howls.
One turned over and stood up, and Wang Ben's saber slashed left and right. Blood was rising everywhere the swords passed, and there were enemy soldiers and Wang Ben's own. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he realized that he was surrounded by enemy troops. It's just tea time, and more than half of the guards have been killed in battle. The rest are also desperately moving closer to themselves. I didn't have time to regret my recklessness, and the saber in my hand kept slashing horizontally and vertically.
The cavalry that arrived later was going crazy, and the major general fell in. If he dies in battle, it will be a defeat to slaughter all the Yanjing people.
The follow-up cavalry of the Qin army rushed into the Yan army's military formation like a madman, and this Yan army was obviously mentally abnormal. These people seem to want to die, and everyone comes with a desperate purpose. When the halberd pierces through the body of the Yan people, they will hold the halberd pole with their hands. When the horses crush their chests, they will hold the horses by their legs. Although most of the man's head was cut off by the saber, his body was still holding the horse's legs. When the war horse dragged a big living person forward, more spears would pierce from all sides, and both the war horse and the knight on the horse had many bloody holes all over their bodies.
The guards rushed over and surrounded Wang Ben desperately to kill. But the saber had just slashed a spear, but it was quickly pierced through the chest by another spear. The number of guards was rapidly decreasing, and soon there were only five or six people surrounding Wang Ben.
"Kill! Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. Damn, I'm out today! Although he felt that his arm was about to be lifted, Wang Ben still struggled to chop like a madman. Where the saber flashed, there was always the screams of the enemy.
Ju Wu, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the fierce battle below and shook his head helplessly. The new army brought out by Fan Yu's training was really different, and if such an army that would not retreat was used when it landed in Yishui. He was eighty percent sure that he would stop the Qin army by the Yishui River. Instead of leaning back to Yanjing City now, like a fish swimming out of the water for the last fight.
"Why are you putting your sons in line outside the city? Isn't it more effective to lead the Qin army to attack the city? Ju Wu asked Gou Shan, the deputy commander of the new army.
Gou Shan is Fan Yuzhi's deputy general, and Fan Yuzhi has been promoted to the main general after being killed. But he still let people call him a deputy general, and for the new army, the main general can only be Fan Yuzhi, whether dead or alive.
"The Qin army is arrogant, if it relies on the advantages of the city to kill and injure them. Their morale will still be high, the enemy has 200,000 men, and I have only 30,000. Only by fighting with them with real swords and guns can they know the power of the new army. will also delay more time and let the king and His Royal Highness the crown prince go farther. Gou Shan said with a cold face.
Ju Wu took the initiative to stay, and Gou Shan was ordered to stay. As the generals who were rewarded by King Yan, they all had the obligation to sacrifice their lives for the Lord. In fact, now they see themselves as dead. The purpose of their life is to delay for the escaped Yan Wangxi and the crown prince Danduo for a while, so that they can run farther. As a human minister, you can only do this.
"It looks like the general who has surrounded the enemy, as long as the young general is killed. Hanging his head on the castle tower is believed to be more able to boost the morale of the soldiers. Ju Wu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Wang Ben struggling like a mad dog.
"He can't run away unless he ......!" Gou Shan suddenly stopped, and a fierce cavalry rushed towards the Yan army like a mountain. The sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder rolled in, and even Gou Shan could feel the tremor of the earth even on the castle tower.
"Heavy cavalry!" Ju Wu exclaimed. (To be continued.) )
