Chapter 623: Eryan City
In the early morning of the next day, the front army of the Qin State, under the leadership of the five doctors Li Yao, slowly came out and approached the Eryan City on the defense line of the empty Cangling of the Zhao State!
Lian Po, a veteran in the Kongcangling defense line, also looked serious at this time, looking at the drawings for a while! He commanded the soldiers among his subordinates: "The death of General Zhao Qi in the first battle has a great impact on the morale of my Zhao Division, but I should encourage my subordinates to avenge the death of the soldiers and attack the Qin Division......
"Avenge General Zhao Qi!" I don't know who said this, and after hearing this, countless generals in the tent responded to each other!
Seeing that the morale of the soldiers under his command was high, Lian Po, who was still a little worried, immediately said: "If this is the case, you are good at defending the city, and you must not let the Qin division capture it......"
"Whoa!"
……
Under the leadership of Li Yao, the former army of the Qin State slowly came to the foot of the second city! In the early morning, under the shroud of autumn fog, the city showed a little hazy beauty......
The surroundings were silent, and even the sound of birds and spring water flowing could be heard not far away, and the fifth doctor, Li Yao, looked at the city in front of him and said, "These are the two important cities of Zhao Guo in the Kongcangling defense line - Duwei City and Gugu City?" ”
"General, this is the place! These two cities are backed by the water of the Yidan River, and the front is the Shaoshui River, and Zhao Shi is guarding this place, which can be described as condescending. ”
Just as Li Yao was asking, the Qin State armor soldiers who were besieging the city pushed the trebuchets one after another to the city wall, relying on each other before and after, and the goal was to the city wall in front!
It was only at this time that the soldiers of Zhao Guo in the second city showed their original forms one after another! Lian Po couldn't have imagined that Qin Shi's siege this time would directly bring a siege weapon - trebuchet!
Li Yao glanced at the city in front of him, and then directly ordered in a loud voice: "Set up a trebuchet and prepare to attack the city!" ”
Hearing the order of the fifth doctor, Li Yao, the soldiers of the Qin army operating the trebuchet quickly and orderly got busy, and after a while, only heard a creaking sound, and about a hundred trebuchets between the two rows in front and back were pushed to Eryan City, about four hundred steps away from the city wall, and the soldiers pushing the trebuchet stopped.
These four hundred steps are the safe distance of the Qin army. Before the battle, the Qin army had already obtained information that the range of the large bed crossbows and trebuchets used by the soldiers defending the two cities was only about 300 steps.
In this distance of 400 steps, it was the Qin army that could attack the head of the city, but the defenders at the head of the city could not attack the Qin army! The Qin army attacked the city with trebuchets here, which can be said to have taken advantage of it.
"Ready, launch!"
The centurion commanding the trebuchet gave an order, and stones weighing about dozens of catties broke through the air and roared towards the city...... All of a sudden, the sky near Eryan City was overshadowed by a black curtain!
On the city wall, Wu Zhe, the guard at the head of the city, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted "Bow down", and before the words fell, he was already squatting and hiding behind the battlements.
For a while, I only heard the sound of "bang bang bang-" stone crashing sound, and the rapidly falling boulders smashed the stone chips and broken stones at the head of the city......
The guard general Wu Zhe was even more careless, and was directly hit in the face by a flying piece of rubble, and forcibly scratched a deep blood groove, and the hot blood rolled down the blood groove.
Wu Zhe touched the wound between his face with one hand, and scolded and said with a grin between the corners of his mouth: "Thief, I almost shot your father here......"
Seeing that the general was still thinking about joking at this time, the soldiers of Zhao State near Wu Zhe laughed lightly......
The Qin soldiers are really worthy of the name of the sharp soldiers, this siege is its strength, nearly 100 trebuchets are skillfully manipulated by them, the front row of trebuchets is thrown, when they are about to fill in the stones, the back row of trebuchets quickly throw the stones, one after the other, with a very tacit understanding, and the stones are also like raindrops to the city head, this wave of offensive is very spectacular.
Under such an offensive, Zhao Shi in Eryan City can be said to have suffered a lot! However, Lian Po, who was determined to stick to this, had already let Zhao Guojia put a lot of effort into the defense of this city wall.
The walls of these two cities are all made of hard stones, and there is no fault between the walls. The stone-built city wall is very strong and very resistant to smashing, otherwise the Qin army's wave of trebuchet attacks would have smashed this city defense to pieces.
But Rao is like this, under the Qin army's wave of dense stone attacks, the Zhao soldiers on the head of the city still dare not raise their heads, and even occasionally a few unlucky city guards were hit by the whistling stones, and with a miserable scream, they died! Gradually, the smell of blood spread over the city......
Under the attack of a wave of trebuchets, dust and smoke billowed on the walls of the second city in front of him! But after a while, he could still look at the flag waved by Zhao Guo's soldiers in a vague way......
Seeing that the attack of nearly 100 trebuchets did not receive the desired effect, but Li Yao, the deputy general of the Qin army, who was determined, was not in a hurry, I saw him smile, the sharp sword in his hand suddenly fell, and he said lightly: "Siege!" ”
Immediately after the shouts of killing, the Qin soldiers carried the ladders, pushed the ramsticks, and held sharp spears, surging towards the city walls of Eryan City like a tide.
The Qin soldiers were fast and not chaotic, and they were obviously well-trained in this siege technique. Since the Qin State went out to the east, there have been countless sieges, and although these two cities have been rejected with the danger of empty cangling, in the eyes of these experienced Qin soldiers, it is not a thousand difficulties and dangers.
The shouting and killing sound of the gate made the guard Wu Zhe immediately call the Zhao Guojia soldiers who were standing against the wall to get up and refuse! He looked at the Qin soldiers who were surging like a tide, and only a stream of blood surged up and went straight to his head. The guard Wu Zhe pulled his throat and shouted loudly: "Rolling wood, stone...... Smash me, smash to death these thieves who plundered my land......"
As soon as the shouting fell, Wu Zhe struggled to lift a big stone and slammed it towards the crowd of Qin soldiers who rushed under the city......
Seeing that the defending general Wu Zhe was so brave, the soldiers of Zhao at the head of the city suddenly lifted their spirits, and they all threw down the city with rolling logs and gravels. At this time, the ladder of the Qin army to attack the city had been erected, and as the soldiers who were besieging the city, they could be said to have known that their fate was like this! But they still carried their shields, spears, and swords one after another, and crawled to the city in a frenzy with the courage of seeing death as if they were at home.
Under the military merit knighthood system, their hearts were filled with the temptation of knighthood at this time, as if the dense rolling logs and stones that fell from the city did not exist.
At the same time, the ramshell of the Qin army, which was specially poured in bronze, had been pushed to the city gate by hundreds of soldiers, ready to launch that thunderous blow.
At this time, the heavy stone gate of the two cities has fallen, and the ordinary ramshell cannot be shaken at all, and only the bronze ram can play the role of shaking the city gate.
Whether it's a moth to the fire or a siege of the city, it's up to you!
The soldiers of the Qin army shouted in unison, with all their strength, and suddenly used their strength to slam the ram into the stone gate, only to hear a loud bang, sparks, gravel splashed, and the heavy stone gate was hit into a shocking pit.
This loud noise alarmed Lian Polai in the city! He couldn't have imagined that the Qin Division's attack would be so fierce, and he would shake the defense of Eryan City with his flesh and blood......
After hearing the sound, there was a lieutenant on the city wall quickly, and he personally led the soldiers to come! One by one, they picked up the bronze tripods filled with hot oil, and then turned them over vigorously, and the hot oil splashed towards the Qin soldiers under the city.
I only heard the scream......s of "Ahhh
This group of Qin soldiers who hit the city hammer with bronze were caught off guard, and they were splashed all over their heads and faces by the hot oil, and the burning pain made the Qin soldiers faint instantly.
……
The fifth doctor, Li Yao, kept staring at the tragic battle under the second city, and his expression was calm as usual. After waiting for a while, Li Yao said to the people beside him: "Go, give orders to go down, and let the crossbowmen of the Qin State who are hiding around show up......
A long horn sound came from between the Qin division's front army......
After a while, in the dense forest near the second city of Kongcang Ridge, countless crossbowmen of the Qin State suddenly walked out! Now the Zhao division on the city wall is fighting one by one in order to stop the Qin division attacking the city below, and it just so happens that they have completely become the target of the crossbowmen of the Qin State!
"Whoosh-" arrows quickly shot towards the castle tower, and there were rockets mixed with them! And at this moment, the trebuchet that had long been abandoned threw the oil-soaked pine resin balls again, and for a while, the fire on the city wall was quickly made, and the Qin master below quickly hit the city gate......
The soldiers of the Zhao State who originally wanted to resist danger and defend it, now they have to beware of the Qin division that hit the city gate below, and they also have to beware of the arrows that will come at an unknown time! It's really miserable......
Lian Po in the city was shocked by the sudden chaos! There was a bit of gloom in his expression, this was the place where he wanted to confront Master Qin! I never thought that when I just fought with Master Qin, I would be defeated so quickly......
If it is said that it is Wu Anjun, Lian Po can still accept it! However, it was only the little-known Zuo Chang Wang Yu who fought with him, which made his face fall there?
