The sky revealed the white of the fish's belly, and then ten thousand golden lights shone on the earth, and the platform rose. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Lei finally stopped being low-key, and was so uproared that he cut off the big sword that had been tightly wrapped around his body, revealing the golden prince's battle armor, holding the treasure knife in his hand, and commanded in a deep voice: "Beat the drum and raise the flag!" ”

Twenty-four war drums rumbled, and a black-clothed guard slowly raised a huge prince's battle flag, the golden royal flag hunted and danced in the morning breeze, and the black tiger on the flag roared fiercely, as if it would jump out at any time and tear apart the enemies outside the city.

Qin Lei's majestic and loud voice also sounded immediately, spreading all over the city: "Lone is Qin Lei, Xi is the current emperor's younger brother, the prince of Great Qin Cheng, and now he and you will kill the enemy side by side, live and die together!" If we are born, we will glorify our life together, and when we die, our loyal souls will always shine on Daqin! ”

"The loyal soul will always shine on Daqin!" The soldiers shouted in unison, looking at the noble and majestic battle flag, and for a while they were arrogant, and there was no trace of panic.

The Qi army was getting closer, and through the clairvoyant mirror, Qin Lei saw the Qi soldiers rushing in front, holding high shields, planks, and even board doors, window mallets, and everything that could block bows and arrows, for the behind

Troops carrying siege equipment shelter from a possible rain of arrows.

The soldiers in the city stared nervously at the city, waiting for an order from the superior. The officers all looked at Qin Lei who was standing on the high platform, but saw him standing solemnly, not moving for a long time.

The soldiers at the head of the city were silent, only the sound of hunting and hunting sounded by the wind blowing the battle flag, which was in stark contrast to the shouts of the city.

The shield array of the Qi army gradually approached the city wall, and in an instant, the arrows under the city were like flying locusts, shooting wildly at the head of the city. But there was a city wall to cover it, and the Qin army was damaged, and they shot the city wall like a hedgehog hair. It wasn't until the crossbowmen of the Qi army stepped forward that there were arrows that could be shot into the city, but Qin Lei saw clearly and was already prepared, and pulled out a small black flag in front of him and threw it down, and a herald shook his head with a black order flag.

Officers at all levels looked at the flag and issued an order at the same time: "Shield! The shield soldiers scattered all over the city immediately covered their heads with large shields, and the surrounding soldiers quickly hid under their shields...... After a few breaths, sharp arrows fell from the sky, piercing the shield and making a 'duke' sound!

Qin Lei knew that the Qi army intended to use the fierce rain of arrows to cover them to carry bamboo, grass, oxen, artillery and other attack tools to the city, he sneered, and at the same time pulled out a small green and red flag and threw it down, and the two heralds holding the green flag and the red flag hurriedly shook the flagpole in their hands.

In the arrow towers on the city walls, the sentry commanders immediately issued an order: "Rocket shooting equipment! The archers immediately lit the arrows wrapped in oilcloth in the brazier and rained down on the city.

They were condescending, their sight was clear, and their heads were good, and the arrows naturally hit the flammable items such as bamboo, wood, grass and cattle under the city, and for a time the smoke and flames were everywhere and burned into a piece. The Qi army hurriedly put out the fire with hemp sandbags, but they did not prevent the sudden concurrent shooting of bows and crossbows and stones on the city, especially those flowering bullets in clay pots, once the clay pots touched the ground and shattered, countless pieces of debris and stones burst out when they landed, and no one stood in the surrounding area. The Qi army suddenly suffered heavy casualties.

However, under the threat of the supervising team behind them, the Qi army dared to retreat easily, so they had to rush forward, but once they got closer, countless rolling stones and sassalwoods fell, and the damage caused was not comparable to the arrows.

After all the hard work rushed to the city and erected the ladder, the Qi army began to climb with ants. These ladders were erected on top of the rushing cart and were unusually stable, and could not be overturned by manpower, but the Qin army was also prepared, and they placed the foot wood and the Yaksha tree on the city to deal with the enemy troops on the ladder who were unable to resist. The so-called wagon foot is to set up a winch in the city, and then use the wheel as a winch to throw it, and then use the winch to retract it.

The 'Yaksha', also known as 'staying in a guest', is made of elm stakes that are half a foot long and half and a feet in diameter. The wood was covered with barbed iron nails seven inches long, and at the ends were two wheels of greater diameter, which were also cast by the winches of the city. In this way, when the Yaksha is released, the wheels at both ends can quickly help the wood to return to its original position without the dilemma of being difficult to recover due to the friction between the barbed nails and the city wall.

The Yaksha can be seen as an upgraded version of the previous one, the Qin army carried the two ends of the sassal wood, found the ladder of the Qi army, the thief smiled and let go of his hand and threw it, and the sassal wood rolled on the ladder like a rolling pin, and slapped down a string of Qi soldiers attached to it, and the upper ones were stoned to death on the spot, and the lower ones were also broken bones, which was equivalent to death.

In addition, the Qin army was also equipped with wolf tooth slappers, flying hooks, iron striking wood and other equipment to defend the city, all of which were powerful and widely killed, and under the flexible use of the defending soldiers, they caused great damage to the besieging side.

From the beginning of the time to the end of the hour, the Qi army was killed no less than 20,000 and the wounded were countless, but seeing the layers of corpses covered in front of Tongguan City, there were countless soldiers sitting or lying in the middle of the howling and crying out in pain, but the Qi army on the battlefield had no time to pay attention to it, and still rushed upwards in vain...... Die.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the clock that a golden gong sounded behind the formation, and the Qi army heard the sound of immortals, and the offensive stopped abruptly and began to retreat with quick hands and feet.

How could Qin Lei let him retreat calmly, the red order flag was unfurled, the city gate on the right side was immediately opened, and Bo Xianyang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led the elite cavalry and chased it out.

The Qi army still had the heart to resist, and immediately collapsed, throwing down countless armor and weapons, siege equipment, and running away with their heads in their arms. Bo Xianyang took the opportunity to wave his army to cover up and kill, beheading countless people, until he was less than a mile away from the Qi army camp, then he stopped the pursuit and returned to the city satisfied.

The first day of the battle was over, Qin Lei ordered Captain Niu to lead the garrison soldiers and people out of the city, and transport the weapons and armor of the Qi army, flags, gongs and drums and other booty back to the city.

Looking at the busy soldiers and civilians outside the city, Qin Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the tiger skin chair, and instructed Tu Gongchun, who was standing solemnly, to say: "Report to the imperial court, ask for rewards, and ask for help!" ”

Tu Gongchun smiled happily: "Looking at the enemy army today, it seems that Tongguan City can be defended." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "Where is this?" Today was just a tentative attack by Zhao Wuyi, and what he sent was a second-rate army. ”

"The prince said that this is not the true level of the Qi army?" Tu Gongchun was surprised.

"If you don't believe me, we'll see tomorrow." Qin Lei no longer discussed with him, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order, six dishes and one soup tonight, and reward the soldiers with two taels of silver each, and one tael each of the people." ”

"It's too much...... As a staff officer, it is his duty to make suggestions and provoke thorns, Tu Gongchun immediately proposed: "In this way, it won't take a few days to fight, and the silver in the city will be gone." ”

Qin Lei shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the morale of defending the city is the most important, and it is worth spending some money." As he spoke, his voice became low and he said, "I don't know how many people can get it until the end......"

The prince's order was announced, and the morale of the army and the people was really boosted...... One day's war can get a month's salary, which is a great thing! So everyone is gearing up, eager to fight until the sky is old.

That night, Qin Lei sent another 3,000 light horsemen out of the city. Two thousand cavalry quietly circled to the north of the enemy camp, and one thousand cavalry went straight from west to east, straight to the Qi army camp.

The Qi army lookout naturally found the Qin army rushing head-on, and immediately sounded a warning shot, and the whole army got up to take precautions, and after a while, they set up a military formation facing the west, but they did not see the Qin army attacking. Zhao Tam led two thousand light horsemen out of the camp to investigate, but the result was still nowhere to be found, and all the generals said that they were sentinels.

The war was not going well during the day, and the generals were already in a bad mood, but now they were quarreled in their sleep, and naturally their livers were vigorous, so they cut down the whistle-blowing sentry on the spot, and beat the whole team again, and then went back to sleep in a hurry......

As a result, he didn't sleep for long, the alarm whistle sounded again, and Qi Jun had to get up from the quilt again, put on his clothes tremblingly, and reluctantly came out again, but the result was still empty.

The mood of the generals can be imagined, and they are about to cut the whistle again. But the officer in charge of the night position stopped and said: 'The enemy has indeed come, and everyone has seen it, so if you want to kill us, kill us all!' ’

The generals believed it and did not dare to ignore it any longer, so they sent an additional 10,000 defenders to the front of the wall, and as for the rest...... Go back and go back to sleep.

After two rounds of tossing, the officers and men were tired to death, and when they returned to the camp and fell asleep, they soon snored loudly.

At the end of the day, the sky was dark, and the wind beat against the tent, making a loud noise.

The thousand cavalry who had gone around to the east quietly approached the Qi camp under the cover of night and wind, and only when the distance was only a hundred zhang did they suddenly accelerate and rush towards the enemy camp.

This time, the reaction of the Qi army finally slowed down, and the Qin army was within a hundred steps before crawling out of the tent, looking for the enemy who killed a thousand swords in a daze.

The Qin army did not fight against the Qi army, but only fired rockets at the Qi camp. After a while, the tent of the Qi army was set on fire. As soon as the wind blew, the fire spread......
