243rd Episode of the Attack and Defense of the Martial Walls (Part II)

Wang Ben saw that none of the flints that flew out hit the city tower, straightened his arm and gave a thumbs up to inspect it, turned his head and said to the pioneer Qian Fei: "This distance can't make the flint hit the city tower at all, the reason why the flint exploded in the city before was because there were buildings blocking it, and now there are no buildings in the city and the flint can't explode on the city tower, it seems that you have to choose a suitable location again."

"I've calculated the angle and range, and if I want the catapult to hit the tower accurately, I have to advance another hundred paces, but then the catapult will be completely exposed to the range of the bow and arrow in the city."

Hearing what Qian Fei said, Wang Ben felt that it was better to call a heavy crossbow to assist than to let the catapult assist in the siege, so he asked Xiahou Zhang to transfer twenty heavy ballista vehicles.

After the heavy crossbow arrived, Xia Houzhang pointed to the heavy crossbow supported only by the pallet and said: "The pallets of these twenty heavy crossbows have all been transferred to transport grain and grass, and it seems that people can only be asked to carry the pallets on their shoulders to advance."

"This is exactly what I want."

With that, Wang Ben ordered dozens of soldiers to advance in twenty groups, each group was protected on all sides by six shield bearers, four of whom carried heavy crossbows and two of whom overloaded their arrows and loaded.

These dozens of Qin soldiers and twenty heavy crossbows kept moving forward, and hundreds of Qin soldiers also swarmed around the rushing car and desperately hit the city gate, and some of the Yan troops defending the city were still throwing rolling wooden cannon stones on the city tower, and the other part was holding a shield in the door hole and holding a long wood against the city gate.

The defenders of the city struggled to block the attacking Qin army, but they did not watch out for the twenty heavy crossbows, and they had already reached the effective range, and the twenty groups of Qin troops were all arranged according to the predetermined formation.

The two Qin soldiers in front of them squatted and supported the crossbars on both sides of the heavy crossbow with their shoulders, and the two Qin soldiers in the back stood straight and supported the crossbars on both sides of the tail end of the heavy crossbow with their hands, and the entire heavy crossbow was aimed at the city at an angle and was controlled and fired by two archers, and each of the twenty heavy crossbows shot a row of crossbow arrows towards the city tower.

The defenders of the city were shot in a large area in an instant, and Jian Xin saw that he hurriedly turned to the stone platform and dodged, and Wei Ye on the other stone platform failed to find the flying crossbow arrows in time, and after dodging a few arrows, his face was already rubbed bright red.

Wei Ye didn't have time to dodge elsewhere, so he had to pull out his sword to block the arrows, and after resisting the next burst of crossbow arrows, Wei Ye touched his left cheek with his hand, but found that his face was full of blood, and he waved his sword twice and said, "Damn, it's all broken for the master."

Then Wei Ye picked up a longbow and shot an arrow, and the archers on both sides followed with a flurry of arrows before they could recover their formation, and the shield bearers next to each heavy crossbow under the city had already laid down layers of shield walls to block arrows.

The Qin army was so arranged, but more than 30 people were shot down under the random arrows, and many soldiers and archers carrying crossbows were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, causing five or six heavy crossbows to fall to the ground, and the Qin soldiers who set up cloud ladders under the city to siege the city and hit the city gate were also countless.

The Qin soldiers in front fell to the ground, and the ones behind rushed forward to make up for it, and the catapults in front of the Qin array began to throw flints at the city tower frantically.

Although not a single flint fell into the city and caused casualties, it had already turned the entire urn city into a sea of fire, and the inner city towers were also ablaze, and many buildings were either in ruins or smashed into thousands of holes.

The soldiers of the Yan army in the inner city had to stay in the city, and no one dared to climb the city tower for a step, Qian Fei saw that there was no resistance to the movement in the city, so he ordered to lead the whole army to continue to attack the city.

With a loud bang, the east gate of the city gate was knocked open, Qian Fei rushed into the city with a large army, and the Yan soldiers who were hit by the car behind the city were hacked to death one by one before they could get up.

At this time, Qiu Hao galloped into the crowd of the Qin army from the left, and many Qin soldiers died under the purple silver knife before they could even counterattack.

Seeing this, Qian Fei Pegasus ran into the crowd to fight Qiu Hao, and the two fought until forty rounds, and Qian Fei panted and ordered the soldiers to press.

Qiu Hao waved a big knife to sweep away the crowd and broke out of the formation, but before he took two steps, he was hit by a rushing car rushing from the stinging place, and even the people and horses overturned on the ground, Qiu Hao did not rush to pull up the war horse and get up, but inserted a knife into the rushing car, and forcefully picked the rushing car away with both hands.

The stunned Qin soldiers didn't have time to fight back, they fell to the ground one after another with stabs in the back, Qiu Hao saw Wei Ye standing behind the Qin army without riding a horse and a knife from a distance, and shouted to him: "Why did you come down from the city, hurry back to defend the city."

"It's enough to leave a letter to one person above, I saw so many people up there who could tickle their hearts and come down, besides, I don't like to see others better than me and show off in front of me."

After saying that, Wei Ye waved his big knife and slashed, Qiu Hao also galloped in the Qin army's array, as if entering a no-man's land, and hundreds of Qin troops couldn't help these two people at all, only to be killed.

Liu Xiang besieged the Qin army, many Qiu Hao and Wei Ye couldn't resist, and personally led 500 personal soldiers from the inner city to rush to reinforcements, Jian Xin also brought more than 100 people from the city to the city to cut off the connection with the Qin army at the east gate, and several Yan troops surrounded the Qin army in the urn city.

Qian Fei raised his knife and shouted: "It's just right, let grandpa kill you all."

Wang Ben vaguely felt that something was wrong in the city and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and Qian Fei in the city heard Mingjin's voice and slashed on the city wall, saying: "Let you go first, and then you will definitely step on the Wuyuan in battle."

Qian Fei led the soldiers to turn around and fight out of the city gate, and after joining the army, he said to Wang Ben: "I was about to take the city, but why did I want to sing gold."

"Don't you know that it is taboo for a soldier to go deep alone, and we don't know the details of the city yet."

After listening to what Wang Ben said, Qian Fei didn't speak, only to see Wang Jian come and say: "Wang Ben is right, there must be something in the city that we don't know, otherwise the old man will definitely not let those thousands of soldiers go to die in vain, Qian Fei, although you seem to have returned in vain, you have reduced a lot of resistance for our army's next siege."

Seeing that Wang Ben and Qian Fei were a little puzzled, Wang Jian didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the Chinese army, all the generals of the Qin army received the order to retreat, and each led the men and horses of their headquarters to retreat in turn, and the armies on all sides set up camp fifty miles away from Wuyuan, and the Qin army still formed an encirclement of Wuyuan.

The big tent of the Qin army

Wang Jian summoned a lieutenant under Qian Fei's account to inquire about the entrusted matter, and it turned out that this lieutenant was specially placed by Wang Jian to perform tasks in Qian Fei's army, and this person was Sima Xunzheng, the left army of Wang Qian's own army.

This Xun Zheng has been cultivated by the lieutenant because of the extraordinary place, and now has excellent reconnaissance ability and analysis ability, after learning about this person's ability, Wang Jian specially ordered him to engage in a lot of reconnaissance work, this infiltration into Qian Fei's army has successfully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the deployment of various systems in Wuyuan, and at the same time, the terrain in the city and various defense facilities are also all remembered in his mind.

Xun Zheng informed Wang Jian of the results of his analysis and the results of the investigation
