Chapter Seventy-Five: The Siege
Countless neatly arranged Qin troops under the city wall advanced under the city wall in the sound of huge war drums, and countless Yan troops in blue armor on the tall city wall were waiting for the day, and it was quiet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The dense Qin army array was like a black tide, and there was quite a momentum of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.
Countless huge siege equipment were erected, the Qin army's array, trebuchet, in the sky with a few sounds of breaking the sky, the three-zhang winged bat made by the Gongyi family headed towards the city in the distance, such a three-zhang winged bat because it flew in the air has a good field of vision, so they can clearly know the arrangement of the battle formation in the city of Jidu, and then report to the commander through a special mechanism, the commander is arranging troops through these gathered information.
Behind these siege infantry were countless chariots and neatly arranged cavalry, they were the spearhead of the attack after the city was broken, and it can be said that it was the last straw that crushed the Yan army in the city of Jidu.
Looking at the dense troops, Chu Nan seemed to have returned to the time when he attacked the Chu State, back to the time when he fought with his brothers, he was originally a member of the Qin army, and he knew that although the Qin army was equipped with many war weapons made by the Gongyi family and Qin Mo, wars like this still relied on the blood of countless soldiers more often.
Chu Nan, who was dressed in black standard armor, and the rest of the shadow guards were guarding around the main general's platform, and there was no need to attack the city, so he could know more about the situation of the whole army, which was completely different from how he felt when he was a small soldier.
Before Chu Nan could think about it, the roaring war drums of the Qin army rang out, resounding throughout the world and the earth, and in front of Chu Nan's sight, the black and suppressed Qin army array advanced towards the Ji Capital City, and countless shields and armor were erected.
When the phalanx advanced to about two hundred steps, countless arrows poured down from the head of the Jidu city, and the crossbow array in the Qin army's phalanx also immediately returned fire, countless Yan soldiers planted the wall, and countless Qin troops fell, and when they were close to the city wall, dozens of ladders were erected to set up the city, and the two sides were short to each other.
The city of Jidu has reached more than ten zhang high after the repair of King Yan Zhao, and then it has completely become a war machine after the transformation of the Mo family, and the beehive arrows made by the master of the Mo family class can send out more than 100 arrows at a time, and only three people can operate it.
From the direction of Chu Nan, bounded by the city wall of Jidu, it was divided into a sea of blue and black, and Jidu City is not like a city wall but more like a life-devouring giant beast, Prince Yan Dan and the Mo family and others stand high on the city wall, in fact, such a war attack, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops have been invested, and the role that these masters of the rivers and lakes can play has been reduced to the extreme, just like a drop of water being dripped into the sea, there is no ripple, and they are often sent to those places that are very easy to be captured.
The walls of Jidu are made of monolithic boulders, which are difficult to break with trebuchets, and even the city gate is reinforced by the Mo family's mechanism and poured a layer of bronze on the outside.
Looking at the Qin army in front of him like a tide, his complexion did not change in the slightest, his eyes fell on the main formation of the Qin army in the distance, although he couldn't see clearly, but he knew that the main general of the Qin army was there, Meng Tian was there, one after another orders came out of his mouth, and dispersed around through the heralds.
His voice was not loud but unusually clear, giving people a powerful feeling, as if as long as he was in the city of Jidu, it would not be breached.
The same is true for Meng Tian, he passed through the three-zhang winged bat, different orders came out of his mouth, and the Qin army changed the phalanx several times, but even so, the Qin army camp did not show the slightest sign of panic, obviously after strict training, the army seemed to be the hands and feet of these two people.
Now it is not only the battle between the Yan army and the Qin army, but also the battle between Meng Tian and Yan Dan, and finally when it is close to night, the order of Ming Jin to withdraw the troops came from the main formation of the Qin army, and countless Qin soldiers retreated like a tide when they heard this order, leaving countless corpses, and the billowing black smoke mixed with the rotten gas of the corpses went straight to the sky.
Through the battlefield where the two armies fought, a tragic situation was abounded, and countless blood pools mixed together into thousands of trickles, and finally merged into the main stream.
As if they had agreed to do so, each of them was to collect the corpses of their brothers.
Only then did Chu Nan really understand what the real one was.
"General!" Someone has come to report!
"How did you get out of the battle?" Meng Tian turned around and said, his face pale.
"Three thousand casualties, two thousand wounded, three hundred of them seriously wounded!"
"What!" Meng Tian held on to the seat under him, his fingertips already pinched white.
"In one day, in just one day, our army lost five thousand people!"
Meng Tian was furious, even if he was an imperial general, when did he lose so many soldiers, he once again realized Yan Dan's methods, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor wanted to kill Yan Dan.
"It's the fault of the lowly position!"
Many of the generals in the tent knelt down in unison.
Meng Tian sighed, I am the main responsibility as the master, and I will definitely ask His Majesty the Emperor for guilt after returning to Xianyang.
Wang Ben arched his hand and said: "Now, how to break through the thistle capital!" ”
"General Wang is right!" Someone agreed.
"If this goes on for a long time, the strength of our army will be consumed, and when the time comes, the troops of the northern generation Wang Jia will unite with Yan Dan, I am afraid that our army's efforts for many days will be in vain!"
"I think that the only way to do this is to send elite troops into the city and rebel against the Yan army to open the city gate, and then our army will be able to capture Jidu! It's just that this person must be bold and careful! ”
Meng Tian turned to Wang Ben on the side.
"General Wang is confident, but I'm afraid that there is already a candidate in my heart!"
Wang Ben nodded and looked at Chu Nan and the others who were guarding next to him, "In my opinion, the Shadow Secret Guard is the most suitable. ”
