One thousand one hundred and thirty-five capture the emperor again
"Haha...... Caesar really fought with Wu Qi, and the soldiers went out of the city! ”
Ying Zheng saw the Peacock army camp on fire on the city wall of Peshawar, and the Han army densely packed all over the mountains and fields launched an attack on Caesar's camp from all directions, and the sound of fighting shook the sky, and immediately ordered to open the city gate and attack the Han army camp.
After the Pei brothers and Pang Japu died in battle, the highest force in the entire Guishan Country had been the first to promote Zhou Panlong. With Ying Zheng's order, Zhou Panlong carried a cooked copper Qi Mei stick, urged the green horse under his crotch, and led 40,000 Qin troops with more than a dozen generals to open the city gate and rush towards the Han army camp.
"Come on, prepare a horse for me, I will personally go to battle!" On a whim, Ying Zheng, who was fully clothed, gave an order to the guards around him.
The civil officials led by Li Si hurriedly dissuaded, and fell to their knees one after another: "Your Majesty is a body of gold, you must not easily get into danger, please Your Majesty take back your order, sit in the city, and wait for General Zhou's good news!" ”
Ying Zheng had already turned over and said categorically: "With Wu Yuan and Pang Chapu dying in battle one after another, the generals of our army have gradually withered, and it is difficult to rely on Zhou Panlong alone. Now that Caesar and the Han army are in conflict, for us Daqin, this is a chance to reverse the defeat, and it is also the last chance! ”
When the words fell, Ying Zhengma rushed away from the civil officials who were blocking, held the sword of the Son of Heaven, and loudly encouraged the soldiers who went out of the city: "Predators of Great Qin, take out your courage to repel the invading Han thieves!" Those who have made great contributions will be rewarded! ”
"Kill, kill the Han thief, and defend the national capital!"
Seeing Ying Zheng personally fighting, the 40,000 Guishan soldiers were high-spirited and bloody, raising their weapons one by one, shouting and roaring from the four gates of Peshawar, and the smoke and dust from the trampling were billowing down, rushing towards the Han army camp like a tiger descending from the mountain.
In the darkness of the night, the Han army camp was silent, and countless archers hid in the trenches behind the antlers and thorns, waiting for the Kushans to throw themselves into the net.
Su Lie ordered 50,000 elite soldiers to prepare for the camp gate, and after a burst of crossbowmen fired, he opened the city gate to cover and kill, taking the opportunity to capture Peshawar.
The two strategists such as Fu Zhu and Kuai Yue were not idle, and also led 50,000 people to prepare weapons such as ladders, thunderbolts, and battering rams, and only waited for Su Lie to kill the Qin army, and then followed him to launch a strong attack on the head of Peshawar City, striving to take down Yingzheng's lair in one go and completely end the war.
Compared with the Qin army trapped in the isolated city, the Han army's military advantage was too obvious. Even though Wu Qi sent 120,000 horses to attack Caesar, there were still as many as 180,000 soldiers left in the camp to defend the town, and at least 60,000 crossbowmen were ambushed in the trenches dug around Peshawar.
"Kill, the thief will die!"
Zhou Panlong urged the green horse under his crotch, waved the cooked copper eyebrow stick in his hand, and led the 20,000 Qin army to shout and roar, raise their shields, and approach the Han army camp step by step, charging and releasing arrows.
The dense rain of arrows fell into the Han army camp with the sound of the wind, or hit the tents, or fell on the top of the soldiers' heads, and the striking helmets made a "clanging" sound, like raindrops hitting the lid of a pot.
Su Lie patiently waited for the Qin army to enter the firing range: "Three hundred zhang...... Two hundred zhang ...... One hundred and fifty zhang...... Shoot me arrows and shoot them hard! ”
With Su Lie's order, the Han troops in ambush in the trench stood up one after another, stretched their bowstrings like a full moon, and fired arrows at the Qin army that had entered the firing range. Countless crossbow arrows burst into the oncoming Qin army like a shower, and the screams suddenly rose one after another, like the screams in the Shura slaughterhouse, and the sound of crossbow arrows piercing through the armor was like a raging storm, resounding in the sky.
A crazy burst of fire shot down at least four or five thousand Qin troops, and even Zhou Panlong, who was at the forefront of the charge, was hit by an arrow, hitting the left shoulder blade, and suddenly he couldn't use his strength anymore. The war horse under the crotch was shot with more than ten arrows, and fell to the ground with a scream, knocking Zhou Panlong off the horse.
"It's not good, the Han army has an ambush!"
The frightened Zhou Panlong got up, brandished a cooked copper stick with his right hand to dial the carving feather, and ordered the whole army to retreat.
The night was dark, and it was not clear how many Han troops were attacking Caesar's camp on the city wall, but Ying Zheng and Zhou Panlong estimated that Wu Qi would dispatch at least more than 200,000, and the most people guarding the fence would leave 70,000 or 80,000.
Ying Zheng, who was pressing the battle in the back, didn't know the battle situation in front of him, and when he saw many soldiers retreating one after another, he couldn't help but be furious, swung his sword and beheaded several people in a row, and shouted: "If you cower and don't move forward, you won't be forgiven immediately!" ”
Ying Zheng personally suppressed the retreating soldiers, and at the same time ordered his own soldiers to bend their bows and arrows, and shoot at the retreating soldiers: "Whoever dares to retreat from the battle, shoot me with arrows!" ”
Cut off by Ying Zheng for retreating, these Qin troops could only turn around again, holding their shields and rushing towards the Han army camp. What was encountered was a more dense rain of arrows, and sharp feathered arrows roared in the night, shooting the Qin army falling in pieces.
"Backward is also death, rush forward with me!"
The wounded Zhou Panlong danced the cooked copper stick with one hand, roared and charged forward, leading more than 1,000 soldiers to dial the carving feather all the way and move forward bravely. Picking off the antlers, cutting off the thorns, and finally rushing to the door of the Han army camp after paying the price of nearly 10,000 casualties, he started a bloody battle.
"The archers retreat, and the sword and shield soldiers charge with me!" Su Lie immediately slashed and commanded calmly and loudly.
The Han army crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time quickly retreated to the camp, and Su Lie carried his sword on his horse, and led 50,000 heavily armored sword and shield soldiers with more than a dozen partial generals, broke through the fence, and marched forward in a uniform pace, fighting with the Qin army.
In the darkness of the night, the sound of killing shook the sky, the torches swayed, the corpses of the two sides were all over the field, the blood flowed like rivers, countless human heads rolled on the ground, countless stumps and broken bones flew in the air, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Su Lie carried his sword on his horse, wielding the cold light Huohuo, rushing left and right in the chaotic army, and no one was invincible. He killed more than 100 people along the way, and met the injured Zhou Panlong on a narrow road, screamed, and slashed down with a knife.
Zhou Panlong was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and he could only rely on his right hand to wield a cooked copper stick to fight, and his martial arts were greatly reduced, and he could only exert seventy percent of his own strength. After barely supporting more than ten rounds under Su Lie's hands, he was slapped in the back with a knife, and his five organs rolled over, his mouth spat blood, and he fell to the ground.
Su Lie urged the horse forward, and the soldiers behind him tied up Zhou Panlong: "Where are the left and right?" Tie up this Qin general to me! ”
"Haha...... The descendants of my Great Qin are only warriors who died on the battlefield, and there are no greedy people who bend their knees and beg for mercy! ”
Zhou Panlong laughed and raised the cooked copper stick in his hand and knocked it down on his forehead, and at the same time sang in his mouth, "Your Majesty, Weichen is going first!" ”
only heard a muffled sound of "poof", and more than 40 catties of cooked copper rods struck on Zhou Panlong's forehead firmly, and suddenly his brain burst out, blood splashed five steps, and the whole person fell to the ground without saying a word, and died of anger.
After Zhou Panlong died in battle, the Qin army lost its arrowheads, its equipment was inferior to that of the Han army, and its strength was at a disadvantage. At the moment, regardless of Yingzheng's suppression, they turned around and retreated to Peshawar, as unstoppable as the sea at low tide.
"That's it, that's it...... The general trend has gone, it seems that the sky does not help me Daqin, and the last hope is shattered! ”
Seeing that he was powerless, Ying Zheng could only shake his head and sigh, wield a heavy sword and fought to the death, slashing and killing dozens of Han soldiers in a row.
"Chase me and take Peshawar in one fell swoop!"
Su Lie was willing to give up, urging the horse to dance the knife, leading nearly 50,000 Han troops to chase after him, and tightly biting the tail of the Qin army.
The crossbowmen in the large camp rushed out with Su Lie's pace, and kept shooting during the pursuit, so that the fleeing Qin soldiers kept being hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Fu Zhu and Kuai Yue also led the sappers to carry torches, push thunderbolt carts, siege cones, and carry ladders, and followed the pace of the army to the foot of the Peshawar city wall, striving to break the city in one fell swoop.
Ying Zheng led his own soldiers to fight to the death, although the combat effectiveness of this elite team was significantly higher than that of other Qin troops, but in the face of a huge number of Han troops, they were powerless to stop it, and they were rushed to the city by Su Lie in one go.
Li Si and the others on the city wall did not dare to close the door, otherwise Ying Zheng would become a lamb to be slaughtered, and they could only watch the Han army follow Ying Zheng's pace and rush into Peshawar City, the city gate fell, and the two sides launched a bloody street battle.
"Your Majesty, please break through from the West Gate, and we will wait until the oath is broken!"
Ying Zheng's personal soldiers blocked a street and alley, preventing Su Lie from rushing over, and loudly reminded Ying Zheng to break through.
"The country is dead, what's the point of me living? It's better to stop here and go to the Nine Springs to accompany the ancestors of Great Qin! Ying Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed, drew his sword and prepared to kill himself.
Li Si and other civil officials stepped forward and hugged left and right, and desperately snatched Ying Zheng's sword: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, Your Majesty don't be confused, please break through from the West Gate first, and climb high another day, there will be enthusiastic people to respond!" ”
Under the bitter persuasion of Li Si and others, Ying Zheng, surrounded by 100 personal soldiers, led Li Si and others to break through to the West Gate, desperately rushing to open a bloody road, trying to escape to the western region of Guishan.
"Where is Yingzheng going? Hurry up and get off the horse and get caught! ”
With a roar in the dark night, a general flew off his crotch and got off his horse, holding a purple gold Moyun pestle, and met Yingzheng on a narrow road.
Facing each other head-on, a joint blow to the weapon in Ying Zheng's hand, Qing Shu ape arm grabbed Ying Zheng's ribbon and lifted it off the horse, and immediately roared at the Qin army in the city: "Your emperor of Great Qin has been captured alive by me, why don't you kneel down and surrender quickly?"
