"Stop!" With an order from the north gate of the royal city, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped. However, before the Chu army could catch its breath, another wave of enemy soldiers rushed up with shouts, and at this time, three rows of armored spearmen under the wall also rushed to the corpse platform. Chen Sheng, who was standing in the first row, did not stab his spear forward, he used his spear to keep the enemy away, leaving his comrades behind him to stab their spears.

The Yi spear is the longest of all standard weapons, and even the long beryllium of the Qin army is one section shorter than the Yi spear. The six rows of spearmen were all in great armor, and even if someone risked their lives to rush forward, it would be difficult to achieve any results. The battle soon came to a stalemate, and the enemy and us were separated by the length of a spear, and if you didn't move forward, I wouldn't move forward. It's just that the Chu army is only six platoons, but the enemy army has nearly twenty platoons, and every time an officer gives an order in the rear, the soldiers in the front row are pushed across the distance of this spear and die tragically under the spear.

"Six rows of spearmen, reject my army of 30,000." In the north tower of Wangcheng, the more the general Meng Wu looked at it, the more angry he felt. The spear formation of the Chu army was thin, but they couldn't rush in after rushing for several days, and now, the soldiers didn't even dare to rush.

"General Yu, ten days at most, the spear array will be broken." Wei Yi is no longer as comfortable as before, and he has used what he has learned all his life to break through the outer city and then the royal city. Any army should disarm and surrender, but because the Chu kings were in the army, the Chu army actually built an earthen city to fight again.

"Dare to ask Shangqing if there are other techniques to break the city?" The Qin army suffered more than 40,000 casualties in the outer city, more than 40,000 casualties in the Qin army in the Wangcheng, and more than 40,000 casualties in the Tucheng, then the 200,000 Qin troops who besieged Chencheng earlier could not have tens of thousands left. Li Xin, as a Qin general, is of course a bloodthirsty master, but even he can't bear this kind of consumption.

"The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention the pawn of King Jing." Wei Yi sighed. Of course, he understood what Li Xin meant, but even if Mr. Guigu came in person, in the face of such a military formation, there would only be one hard attack.

"Can you attack it by water?" Meng Wu had long lost hope for Ying Lun's promotion, and he was now like ending this war earlier.

"No." Wei Yu shook his head categorically. "The terrain of the royal city is higher than that of the outer city, and the main hall of the outer court of the current earth city is in the middle, and its terrain is higher. Once flooded, it would collapse the walls of the royal city instead of the earthen walls. ”

"Let's attack." Meng Wu was helpless, he motioned to the drummer to beat the drum immediately, urging the foreign soldiers on the corpse platform to fight immediately. According to the pre-battle plan, most of the crossbowmen on the royal city have already left the city, and they will line up fifty paces outside the earthen city to release arrows. In order to prevent the spearmen of the Chu army from attacking, the front of the crossbow array was protected by a military formation as thick as twenty rows.

At the same time, thousands of Wei soldiers and Qin soldiers were concentrated, and they did not fight the Chu army head-on, but planned to take advantage of the gap. Once there is a flaw in the spear formation of the Chu army, they will widen the gap and enter the earth city to create chaos, causing the Chu army to collapse.

"Report ——!" The soldiers rushed to the city, although the king of the platform with a height of more than three meters could see the situation outside the city, but the regulations in the army were like this. "Tell the king and the general, the Qin and Wei crossbowmen have all gone down to the city to set up a formation."

"How far?" Glancing at Lao Lian Po, Xiong Jing asked how far away the Qin army's crossbow array was.

"About ...... Fifty steps. Ling Bing nodded heavily after thinking about it, indicating that what he had reported was correct. In front of the crossbowmen, there were twenty rows of Qin soldiers to protect them, as if to prevent our army from attacking. ”

"What does the teacher think?" Lian Po is a general, and no one is as good as him in the debate array.

"If the Qin people are so risky, there will be a follow-up." When Lian Po, who was seriously ill, appeared in front of everyone for the first time, the whole army cheered in unison. The support of the soldiers made Lian Po no longer have a knot, and returned to the situation of Gujing without waves. With him, the Chu army has an early warning.

"The teacher is saying that after the crossbow arrows, there will be sharp soldiers rushing into battle...... "Bows and arrows, trebuchets, these are always regarded by Xiong Jing as the artillery of later generations, the cannon bombarded the infantry charge, and the coordination of infantry and artillery is the best tactic to break through the strong defense line, and it has not changed for two thousand years.

"Yes, yes." Lian Po naturally didn't know what was going on in the student's head, but he understood that the student's tactical reasoning was often clear. "The king needs to prepare heavy troops under the wall where arrows cannot reach, in case the Qin warriors rush into the city, and the spearmen on the stage should also wait for the opportunity to avoid the arrows. Once the crossbow array is deployed, the Qin people will shoot and kill the soldiers on the platform regardless of whether they are enemies or enemies. ”

"Tell the public to lose the taboo and the crossbow in the air, let them choose a good location and concentrate their shots to suppress the enemy's arrows." Xiong Jing hesitated, he had to attack before the enemy army was fully arranged. "Fei Jing, Xiang Chao!"

"The minister is here!" After killing Xin Wu, the cavalry did not attack again, nor did they go out of the city to warn, they were the most idle people in the Chu army.

"As soon as the enemy forces are suppressed, rush out!" Xiong Jing clenched his fists, he had long wanted to wipe out Qin Wei's crossbowmen.

"Respectfully obeyed." The platform is open-air, and every move here is monitored by the surrounding castle towers. Therefore, all the salutes in the army were canceled, and the ordered Concubine Jing and Xiang Chao stood on the high platform for a while before hiding the crowd, quietly descending the steps and walking to the stable. The palace stables are the only buildings that have not been demolished, and more than 2,000 war horses live more comfortably than people, the only regret is that the earth city is too small, and there is almost no space for walking horses.

"The king has an order, and the cavalry will attack!" Fei Jing and Xiang Chao suddenly appeared in the army, and the knights who had been wandering for a long time immediately surrounded them. Everyone was fighting with the enemy, but the cavalry was idle, and it was two or three months at a time.

"Respectfully!" More than a thousand knights shouted in unison. There are only one hundred and sixty-three heavy riders, and the rest are light riders, but the difference between light riders and heavy riders is only in the armor. There are more than 10,000 sets of huge armor in Tucheng, and there is indeed no horse armor, but the soldiers have rhino armor and leather armor, and it is not difficult to temporarily produce more than 1,000 sets of leather horse armor, so even if it cannot be regarded as a heavy horse, it can also be regarded as a semi-heavy horse.

'Yu Yu ......' the war horses neighed excitedly after they were brought out of the stable, and the children could barely pull them. When they had calmed down, leather horse armor was draped over them. Even if it is leather armor, the weight is more than 100 pounds. Once these leather armors were put on, they wrapped the whole body of the warhorse, revealing only the limbs of the horse—

This is nothing new, hundreds of years ago chariots and horses were dressed in leather horse armor. Probably because he was also born in Dongyi, and is different from the ancestor of Zhao who was good at the emperor, the domain cavalry of Qin and the tattooed cavalry of Qi are all famous armored cavalry. It is a pity that Qin and Qi were unable to retain such a branch of troops. The Qin State should not be heavy on weight, just as the common crossbowmen who have been trained for months instead of the aristocratic archers who have been trained for ten years, the Qi State is likely to have no horse breeding area, and it is too expensive to maintain such a cavalry.

Above the horse armor was the knight's high bridge saddle, and the saddle belt passed through the holes on both sides of the horse armor and tightened under the horse's belly. After the horse armor and saddle were the knight's shield, the cavalry spear, the cavalry sword, and, possibly, the riding bow and quiver. These weapons were arranged in an orderly manner so that they could be easily accessed by the knights.

Horses are armoured, and knights are armoured. The ring armor can't protect the thighs, and the number of chain mails is not enough, so this position can only be made up with skirt armor made of cloth iron armor. The rest of the place is the same as infantry armor: the lower leg is a shin armor that covers the top of the foot, the arm is a ring arm armor that only protects the outside of the arm, and the iron armor is not canned, showing below the eyebrows, but there are armor pieces that protect the cheeks on both sides.

When they sat on their horses, with a long shield in their left hand and a spear in their right hand, galloped on the grass in the city, the majesty of the armor and cavalry made every soldier shout: "Hurray!" Banzai! Hooray......"

The Chu army, which had been suppressed and numbed for a long time, finally showed a smile, the last time the cavalry came out and killed the Qin army general Xin Wu, this time they will definitely bring a greater victory.

"Iron Rider! Jing Man Iron Rider! On the high watchtower of the royal city, as soon as the heavy rider ran out of the tents around the stable, the lookout hand of the Qin army shouted. The iron cavalry is the last words of the great general Xin Wu before his death, and only the cavalry of the Chu army wrapped in huge armor can be called an iron cavalry.

"Long live, long live, long live......" The Chu army in Tucheng shouted continuously, and the trebuchets and crossbows in the east had already carried out suppressive shooting. The crossbows on the eastern wall were to be shot, and the remaining crossbowmen were so beaten by the shells that they could not lift. A gentle staircase nailed to the planks was already in front of the earthen wall, and the spear formations on the corpse platform were stabbing forward despite casualties, and they had to open a passage for the heavy cavalry to come out.

"Report ——!" The news of the order reached a military tent outside the royal city, and the people who came shouted: "General Xin, the Jing people are riding out of battle." ”

"Ahh Xin Sheng shouted, and his whole body was stunned. He originally thought that the iron cavalry had withdrawn from Chencheng when the Chu army delivered grain and straw last time, but he didn't expect that the iron cavalry was still there, and it was out again today. He lifted the low table in front of him, rushed to the chariot and ran towards the royal city.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop...... Retreat and kill without mercy! Retreat and kill without mercy! ”

"Shoot! Shoot! Add to the disease! It is also ...... to add illness"

The Chu army's huge armor spearmen rushed desperately, and the tun chief behind the corpse Tai Qin army shouted loudly. But the razor array, which was already in an impact formation, couldn't stop it at all. The thickness of fifty rows was two and a half times that of the Qin army's military array. Wave after wave of stabbing spearmen were like huge waves in the angry sea, and each wave rushed to peel off one or two rows of soldiers of the Qin army, and the twenty rows of military formations were quickly hollowed out by the waves. After breaking the formation, the spearmen attacked from the flanks and reversed, and the entire army formation was immediately in chaos.

Without waiting for the order from the rear, the crossbowmen, who had not yet fully lined up, had already begun to shoot. At a distance of more than thirty paces, the crossbow was powerful, and the armor less than two millimeters thick was no longer a ring, but was pierced by arrows. But it's not fatal. The arrow that pierced through the armor was less than an inch, and it could only bleed the armor, not make them fall.

"Array! Array! "The twenty rows of soldiers protecting the crossbowmen in front of the crossbow array sat on the ground in order to prevent the crossbow arrows from being injured by mistake. Seeing that the spearmen of the Chu army broke through the military formation on the corpse platform, they had to urgently get up and prepare to meet the enemy. However, they were wrong, and it was not the heavy Chu army's ju-armored spearmen who rushed down from the corpse platform, but the shining and dazzling Chu army's ju-armored iron horsemen.
