After 20,000 troops, the drums of war thundered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The striking wood that hit the jack gate was even harder at this moment.

Cloud ladders were erected on the city walls on the northwest side, and Qin Guorui began to climb along the city tower.

And it was only at this time that the Wei army defending the city reflected from the chaos just now. They all pulled the bows and arrows in their hands to the fullest.

With the sound of the bowstring loosening, wave after wave of arrows densely covered the entire sky.

The rain of arrows fell, and there were several arrows in the body of the Qin soldiers, already shaped like hedgehogs. But the body was still struggling.

Jin Contempt, who had just put down the jack gate at the last moment, listened to the drumming sound from outside the city, and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

rushed down the tower, wanting to organize the people in the city to resist the attack of the Qin army.

But in the process of going down the city tower, he saw Fang Hua, the guard who was just about to go up the city tower.

I don't know why, Fang Hua looks a little weird at this moment, but where exactly is the blame, Jin Contempt doesn't have the time to think about it.

"Why didn't the general listen to the persuasion of his subordinates, and had to open the city gate-" Just as he was about to pass by, Jin asked contemptively.

But this question, Fang Hua seemed to be very unhappy, just shook the big behind him, and dropped a sentence: "Ben General, not as ruthless as you!" After that, he gritted his teeth and climbed the tower.

At the West City Gate, which is blocked by the jack gate. At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers were drawing their bows and arrows and shooting at the Qin army outside.

With the defense of the archers, it is difficult for the Qin people to really use their strength even if they hit the wood, at least the West City Gate will be fine for a short time.

At the moment, it is on the city walls that are at stake.

Because at the beginning, the Qin army mixed among the people and went to the city together, Fang Hua did not hurt the people, and did not let the soldiers release arrows, which allowed the Qin army to come to the bottom of the city wall without any obstacles, and at this time, as long as the ladder was erected, most of the Qin army could climb the city wall. Therefore, Jin Contempt was in a hurry to organize the people to go to the city wall to resist the attack of the Qin army.

Qin Jun is still desperate to climb the ladder. But this time, there was no cooperation between the inside and the outside, and even if the warriors were brave, it was still difficult to capture the city in a short time.

In order to dispel the arrogance of the Qin army along the way, the Wei army frantically smashed down the rolling logs, boulders and other objects that had been fully stocked in the city at the beginning.

If you look across from one side of the wall.

At this time, the side walls of the entire western city wall were densely crawled with Qin army warriors. A piece of black pressing.

It's like an ant competing to deliver food. They climbed the city walls tirelessly and quickly.

On the city tower, the speed of defending the Wei army was not slow.

Almost every boulder falling is accompanied by three or five casualties.

From a distance, I saw boulders and rolling logs thrown one after another on the castle tower.

Those Qin soldiers who had climbed almost the entire wall. Every second, dozens of people are thrown from the ladder by boulders or rolling logs, accompanied by screams or sprays of broken flesh and flowers.

On the ladder, the body of the Qin army's sharp soldier rolled on the ladder and smashed into the other soldiers on the ground.

The moment the boulder hits the ground, it is often accompanied by a soldier's head shattering, like a watermelon's head being cracked by a huge external force, and the brains are splashed everywhere at that moment.

The rolling logs with iron thorns rolled down the ladder all the way, and everywhere they passed, they were screaming again and again.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the heavy and thorny rolling logs, as they pressed down on each soldier, cut off pieces of minced flesh.

Some of the soldiers were even pierced with holes in their backs, and they died on the spot.

But those soldiers who were lucky enough to be wounded in the shoulder or arm could only grit their teeth and insist on climbing to the castle tower regardless of the blood on their bodies. Because they don't have the heart to retreat at all, and there is no room for retreat. Victory or death.

In the scorching summer heat, even if it is still early in the morning, a large amount of blood is still evaporated, and in less than a cup of tea, the entire city is infected with the smell of blood.

In the distance, Sima on horseback looked at the rolling logs with iron teeth thrown from time to time from the city wall, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This thing doesn't belong to this era. It was a batch of things specially made by Wu Ming and Shangfang, and each piece of rolling wood was covered with four iron rings, and each iron ring had eight iron thorns on it. The heads of these iron thorns have a small iron hook with a unique shape, and once they do not enter the meat, they will definitely break up a piece of meat and blood vessels. The lethality is much more powerful than the average rolling log.

However, this thing is only in initial production. There are not too many people in the Wei State who are engaged in production in Shangfang at the moment.

Therefore, the entire Wei city is also near the Jin Pass and the Xincheng that occupied Korea. After all, these two places need to be heavily defended. But even in these two cities, there are not many iron thorn rolling logs, only three or five hundred.

But one of these logs is much stronger than the rest.

The increase in its own weight prevents the iron spike from bouncing off and landing directly like other logs. They crushed a column of soldiers on the ladder from beginning to end. In this case, few people can escape the crushing of the iron barbed logs.

Even if it lands, as long as the iron thorn hooks the person's body, it is definitely the result of a deep scratch.

Sima mistakenly chose Ben and thought that he had made three months of preparation. The first batch of 40,000 warriors was trained, although they had not really grown into the kind of heroes who would dominate the world in the Great Qin Empire in the future. But Sima mistakenly felt confident that he could fight with the Wei soldiers.

You can see a new type of rolling wood that suddenly appeared on the head of Wei Guocheng. Looking at the ladder, one after another, the Qin State Ruishi fell layer by layer like a caterpillar molting. Sima Cuo felt that his heart was dripping blood.

What made him feel relieved was that these Qin army soldiers who had been training hard for three months did not have the slightest fear because of these, and despite the heavy casualties, the army was still frantically climbing the ladder, desperate for themselves, and was not afraid of death wave after wave of charge.

Even the momentum of the charge is getting stronger.

But as the attack of the Qin army's sharp soldiers accelerated, the Wei army put aside ordinary rolling logs and boulders.

Jin Contempt began to organize people to roll all the iron thorns on the wooden platform to the city tower, and with the best efforts of both sides, in a short period of time, a layer of half-human-high corpses was piled up at the root of the city tower. A rough calculation is no less than three thousand.

Every sharp man here has been vigorously trained by Sima Cuo. Every person has spent a lot of financial and material resources to cultivate.

With such a large casualty in just a few moments, Sima Cuo's face instantly became gloomy.

Looking at the still fierce and falling boulders and rolling logs on the city tower, Sima Cuo finally shook his mind, and he waved his hand angrily: "Mingjin withdraws the troops - order the whole army to retreat - "

The general on the side was looking anxiously, and he was sweating in his heart. After all, it was the first time he had seen such a desperate sharp soldier.

He was looking forward to the joy after Ruishi broke the city, and suddenly heard Sima Cuo's order, and he was a little surprised for a while. But he still suppressed his inner thoughts and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

In fact, at this time, there are not many iron thorn rolling logs on the upper floor of Linjin Pass, if the Qin army continues to insist, although there will be a lot of casualties, it is not impossible to break the city.

But Sima Cuo couldn't forget the defeat caused by his reckless actions last time. When Wu Ming first came to Hexi.

If it weren't for Sima's mischievousness, the battle would not have been a big defeat, causing the Qin State to suffer heavy losses. After all, in terms of combat effectiveness at that time, under the condition of no military soldiers, the combat effectiveness of ordinary infantry soldiers of Wei State could not be compared with the Qin army inspired by military exploits.

This time, no matter what, Sima Cuo didn't want to follow in the footsteps of being arrogant. It's a big deal, when the 20,000 Rui soldiers of Yin Jin and the 40,000 soldiers who attacked Shaoliang have arrived, it is not too late to attack Linjin Pass together.

That's what I thought. The ringing of the troops has sounded. The Rui Shi of the Qin State, as one of the few exceptionally disciplined teams in the Warring States.

Even if everyone's hearts were unwilling at this time, they also evacuated the battlefield as quickly as possible.

This is the first batch of sharp warriors of the Qin State. The battle is a bee chrysalis, desperate to charge.

Retreat, it is clean and neat, without the slightest drag and water, without the slightest hesitation. The combat effectiveness of this kind of soldier is self-evident, as long as the general has great talent, this team can definitely be called an army like a god of war in today's era.

Of course, in the original history, the Qin State did use its strong national strength, high-IQ generals and strategists, and controlled the "sharp sword" of Ruishi to level the world and clear the obstacles of all countries. Embarked on the final unification.

Of the 20,000 Qin troops, there were still more than 16,000 capable fighters left after the final withdrawal.

You must know that the Wei army really started attacking in less than half an hour. In such a short period of time, the Qin army lost more than 3,000 people. This result made Sima Cuo very dissatisfied.

This is not a soldier who was directly pulled out of the farmland before, but some powerful soldiers of the Qin State who have combat experience and have been trained hard for more than three months.

If these people were placed in the last battle against Wei Hexi, they would definitely not wait for Wu Ming's appearance, and the Linjin Pass would have been broken.

But now. In just a few months, the weapon innovation of the Wei State really caught Sima Cuo off guard again, and he suffered a dumb loss.

It turned out that these days were not only the Qin State developing safely, but also the Wei State was also innovating in turmoil. Not only the iron thorn rolling wood, but even the jack gate installed on the city gate is not found anywhere else now.

The 1,000-strong general had the soldiers carry back a piece of iron thorn rolling wood from the Wei army.

When he was brought to Sima Cuo, there was even minced meat on it, and at this moment, when he carefully observed by the firelight, there was a small section of people's large intestines hooked on the iron thorns, which exuded a fishy smell and a slight stench.

The shiny iron thorns that have been sharpened are like the sharp teeth of a demon's mouth, and this thing makes ordinary people shudder just by looking at it.

If you crush it from your body, there are really not many warriors who can face it.

But this time, the Qin army was faced, although most of the people who faced it were already dead. But at least Sima Cuo felt that these people were right about their cultivation for more than three months.

"Keep this thing, and send it to the treasury when you get back, and let them build some of it as well. It's all because of this—"

Stretching out his fingers, Sima Cuo also loved and hated the iron thorn rolling wood in front of him, why didn't Qin people think of this thing first?

In the Linjin Pass, all the reserved materials for defending the city are still being transported to the city wall in a hurry. The west gate was closed again, and the jack gate was put back in its new position, waiting for the next use.

In addition, with the truce between the two armies, the sky has begun to brighten.

Zhang Meng, who had been prepared for a long time, had already crossed the Yellow River with an army of 10,000 and entered the Linjin Pass. In addition to that, there is Liu Yun!

Liu Yun also rushed over with the remaining 2,000 soldiers from the Hedong military camp soon after.

plus the 5,000 soldiers from Xincheng and the remaining more than 4,000 guards at Linjin Pass. At this moment, there are more than 21,000 soldiers in the Linjin Pass who can be used for defense.

As the deputy general of the Wei army, since entering the Linjin Pass. Zhang Meng began to take over all kinds of information as soon as possible. At the same time, I began to arrange various things.

After assigning the task of defense to Liu Yun, Zhang Meng took Fang Hua to walk around on the city wall to observe, and even went out of the west gate to see the tragic situation outside.

Some soldiers began to search outside the city for the iron spike rolling wood after landing, and carried some of the less damaged ones back from the city gate for continued use.

On the way back to the West City Gate, Zhang Meng suddenly frowned and asked, "What happened to these dead people?" ”

"Back to the general!" Fang Hua, who was following on the side, hurriedly replied, "These people have all fled from Yin Jin. But at that time, a centurion who returned from the Yin Jin Dynasty said that there was an inside line of the Qin State lurking in the Yin Jin City. opened the city gate to the Qin army, which led to the rapid fall of Yin and Jin? The centurion was afraid that these people were also mixed with the Qin people, so he discussed with his subordinates not to open the city gate. So at the beginning, a lot of people died, and then the subordinates couldn't bear it, so they ordered the city gate to be opened. ”

"Centurion?"

Zhang Meng immediately said to himself, the matter of Yin Jin was too sudden and a little weird.

So Zhang Meng also wanted to know clearly, "Who is the centurion?" Where is it now? ”

"This person's name is Jin Cong, and now he should organize some matters of city defense in the city."

"You should have reminded Ben about this earlier!"

After the words were released, Zhang Meng walked quickly into the city gate and went straight to the city tower.

It wasn't until he was halfway up the stairs that Zhang Meng paused, turned to Fang Hua who was following behind him, and said, "Guarding the city all night, you are also tired, go down and rest first!" ”

After saying a word, he walked vigorously to the city wall.

When the two soldiers brought Jin Contempt to see Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng found that Jin Xian in front of him looked tired, his eyes revealed this thick sleepiness, there was even a wound on his left arm, and the entire sleeve had been stained crimson with blood.

But even so, he still insisted on arranging defenses on the castle tower.

This scene instantly dispelled the suspicion that Jin Contempt was the inside line of the Qin army.

After all, what Fang Hua said just now is indeed easy to make people think that Jin Contempt is the inside line. And Yin Jin fell, but he Jin and Jin escaped with a few people, which is a little suspicious and normal.

"I heard that before the war, you advised Fang Hua to close the city gate and not let the people enter the city?" After staring at Jin Contempt for a while, Zhang Meng asked slowly.
