Chapter 298: The First Battle
The drums of the two armies of Qin and Chu fighting on both sides of the county town have gradually weakened, but the fighting in the city has reached a white-hot stage, and at this time there is no longer any tactics, in the early stage of the battle, all the means will be fully displayed, whether it is offensive and defensive equipment, or a surprise attack between the warriors of both sides, now all they have to rely on is their own will, battle will.
The corpses at the gate of Dongjun County have almost sealed the city gate, which is the place where the battle is fiercest and the place where both sides will fight.
The Chu army was led by Yingbu and the most elite Thunder Leopard Legion was responsible for the attack at the city gate, the Thunder Leopard Legion was extremely famous in the Six Kingdoms campaign, each soldier was personally selected by Yingbu, and was a powerful warrior in the army, at this time countless sharp arrows were rained down on the city.
The sound of puff piercing fell on the strong shields erected by the Chu army below, these shields were extremely heavy, and on the basis of the original shields, they were covered with a layer of ox and sheepskin, and ordinary bows and arrows could not penetrate them at all.
Occasionally, an arrow from a gap knocked a Chu soldier to the ground, and a soldier would step forward to fill the man's place, and although the casualties here were the greatest, the number remained unabated.
The huge siege cones kept pounding against the gates of the county, and each time it hit the gates, it made a wail.
Chu Nan knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he didn't know when the city gate would be breached, and when the Chu army entered Chengdong County, it would be a massacre, or even a massacre, he felt fear for the first time, there were already a lot of newly selected recruits gathered beside him, they had been in the camp for less than a few days, and many of them were hit by the stray arrows or boulders of catapults.
He even saw the recruit one day, but he forgot what his name was.
After Chu Nan returned to the city, dozens of men in black were waiting, these people were the elite of the army, a few of them were masters in the old net, dozens of Qin army elites were covered with black armor, these armor made of unique smelting technology were like fish scales, and they only found more than a hundred pieces in the arsenal throughout the county, these black armor were enough to withstand most of the swords, but the weight was also extremely heavy and more than fifty catties.
"I'll leave it to you." Chu Nan looked back at Zhao Qing.
Behind him, the five swordsmen climbed up to the top of the city like him, and swept towards the city, the six shadows were like eagles swooping down, and several of them were not wearing armor, what they needed now was speed, and the armor would affect their shape.
"Powerful crossbow suppression."
Zhao Qing calmly ordered.
Chu Nan waved his sword with both hands and cut the arrows that came in front of him into two sections, taking advantage of the downward trend, Tianwen in his right hand pierced the wall fiercely and drew a deep sword mark on the city wall to prevent the fall, and he stepped on a long black arrow on his feet, which was fired by the crossbow of the Chu army, not so much an arrow was more like a spear in the hands of the infantry, if you accidentally hit these arrows, you can easily tear people in half.
The other five people followed Chu Nan and went down, Chu Nan was the first to go down because he knew that the sword in his strongest hand was also the sharpest, so he needed to clear a clearing.
His body began to rotate and when Fang was about to touch the ground, the afterimage of the reverse scale and Tianwen flashed in the air, the invisible sword qi began to cut the ground, and the cow and sheepskin on the strong shield began to be torn, Chu Nan snorted, mobilized the internal force in his body, and the sword was three feet long.
These strong shields can resist the bow and crossbow, but how can they block the sword in Chu Nan's hand.
A sergeant of the Chu army touched the blood line on his forehead with his hand, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, the top of their heads was covered by shields, but how could there be a bright light.
The shield in his hand had already spread out under Chu Nan's sword, and the neat formation was disrupted.
Xiang Yu in the distance looked at Chu Nan's eyes slightly when he looked at all this, and the guards next to him snatched the spear and threw it towards the city gate with all his strength, Xiang Yu was extremely powerful since he was a child, and the spear in his hand whistled through the air and made a huge sound, which was not inferior to the power of the crossbow.
A swordsman who didn't have time to dodge looked at the tip of the spear that was getting bigger and bigger in his pupils, and he was nailed to the city wall without haste.
The sunlight was very dazzling, and the cold on the ground had been completely removed, but Chu Nan felt very cold, and his eyes were even colder.
The five of them worked together to clear a large open space at the city gate, and after the initial panic, the Chu army reorganized the formation and approached a few people, even the extremely skilled swordsmen did not have the slightest way to face the encirclement and suppression of the army, and several people fell to the ground one after another beside Chu Nan.
"He's mine."
Yingbu, who was dressed in military uniform, hit it fiercely, the mountain axe in his hand was blocked by Chu Nan, and a huge power came from the sword body, Yingbu is a power-type military general Chu Nan's right hand was numb, and several spears went up from left to right, and Chu Nan cut it off with his hand.
"Press it up and kill Chu Nan, and the eastern county city will be self-defeating."
Xiang Yu looked at the battle at the city gate, even he was boiling now, but he had not completely lost his mind, he was no longer the reckless young man, he was now the commander of the entire Chu army.
"I'll go."
It was Xiang Liang who spoke, and before the words fell, he led the people of the headquarters to gallop away.
Zhao Qing looked at the fierce battle below, slashing a Chu army who climbed on the wall, he was a little anxious, but helpless, he had to follow the previous plan.
He roared and looked back at the city, "Aren't you ready yet?" ”
The heavy gate of the county city slowly opened, and the Qin army dressed in black scale armor appeared behind Chu Nan, holding spears several zhang long in their hands and heavy swords at their waists, like a black city wall.
Treat!
They didn't seem to be in a hurry, even if Chu Nan was already under siege, the black city wall was slowly but firmly advancing towards the outside of the city, the arrows in the hands of the Chu army could not penetrate their armor at all, and they were also at a disadvantage in weapons A massacre began, when had the soldiers of the Chu army seen such hoplites.
In the silver sea, the black armor is even more dazzling.
The city-breaking cones have been destroyed, and these city-breaking cones weigh thousands of catties, once they lose their support, it is extremely troublesome to reload the ballista, and now they are under the attack of the Qin army, and after paying for the lives of dozens of people, the Chu army finally gave up.
The horn sounded in the distance, and the Chu army began to slowly retreat.
