Chapter 6: The Flames of War
As a pioneer, the first thing he cares about after entering the city is not the situation of the enemy and the strategy of defending against the enemy, Wu Ming's style made Zhang Meng, who was used to seeing life and death, feel ashamed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But at this time, he couldn't help but admire Wu Ming's grasp of the warrior's heart.
The wide streets, the soldiers and people who came and went were all moved.
Behind him, the three thousand Wei pawns who still had opinions about Wu Ming in the early morning were speechless for a moment, leaving a pair of blood-red eyes.
It was a man's blood stirring in his heart.
"Report ......" is a nervous voice.
To the west, a soldier came quickly, bowed in front of the guard Zhang Meng, and said hurriedly: "General, the Qin people beat the drum in a line and start attacking the city again." ”
"Qin people, hateful Qin people!" It was Wu Ming, who had just stood up, who spoke.
He gritted his teeth, the flesh on his mouth trembled with resentment, and suddenly he shouted: "Soldiers, blood debts and blood are repaid, the Qin people are bullying, as the iron-blooded heroes of the Great Wei, can we be soft?" Of course not, they are all flesh and blood, if they are strong, we can be stronger, and there is a kind of pioneer who goes up to the city tower, even if he dies, let them know the majesty of my Great Wei, kill. ”
"Blood debt and blood repayment, show my great Wei heroism."
"Kill ......"
The soldiers, who were already full of mixed tastes and even grievances, instantly burst out with a passionate fighting spirit.
For a time, shouting to kill the heavens.
Wu Ming came to the horse in a few steps, turned over on the horse, rode the horse and whipped it, and went straight to the West City Tower.
Ni Tao and Zhang Meng glanced at the high-spirited soldiers, and got on their horses to chase after them.
On the street, three thousand Wei soldiers, the sound of neat and tight footsteps resounded in the sky.
The people who stayed behind to work in the city all wept with joy for such a pioneer, and in an instant, a silent force poured into their bodies.
……
Outside the West City Gate.
Shang Ying, who was the general of the Qin State and the great Liang at the time, personally beat the drums, and the 80,000 soldiers of the Qin army were pressed in black, and they were arranged in a neat and orderly formation.
Standing on the tall city tower, the black armor of the Qin army shimmered in the rising sun.
A war drum resounded in the sky, and the 80,000 Qin army was neatly divided into sixteen formations, each formation formed a team, and one team carried at least four ladder cars.
A neat army, a mighty momentum.
When the drums of war sounded more closely, there was a shocking shout in the Qin army of the two teams, followed by 10,000 soldiers slowly advancing.
A solemn face, a cold gaze.
After some distance, 10,000 Qin troops roared and rushed forward. It seems to be disorganized and randomly attacked. But on closer inspection, the Qin army's formation was so precise that it was still well maintained even in the chaotic siege battle.
In front of each ladder were soldiers with shields and swords, archers on either side of them were placed in disarray, followed by soldiers with swords, and the warriors were followed by huge slamming logs held aloft by warriors. The whole formation can be described as tight and exquisite.
"Kill."
The general's sword pointed out, and under the rapid impact of the 10,000-strong army, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
……
"Soldiers, give me arrows and kill all these Qin people in the wilderness."
On the tall Cheng Building, Wu Ming waved his hand, and under his strict face was a high voice.
In an instant, all the crossbowmen mounted their arrows, and pulled their bows like a full moon.
The sword pointed out, in the sky, ten thousand arrows fired together. The towers of the city were densely packed with arrows, covering the sky and the earth, like the tears of death.
The sound of swishing breaking through the air was endless, resounding through the heavens and the earth, followed by the screams of the soldiers of the Qin army who were rushing forward on the ground.
The soldiers at the front all held their shields high to block the arrows in the sky. Resolutely move forward in the face of the rain of arrows. But many of the others behind him died from the indiscriminate arrows.
The crossbowmen on both sides of the ladder approached at great speed, skillfully mounted their arrows under the cover of the shield soldiers in front, and counterattacked with the same full bow.
The drums of war were loud, and in the sky, arrows rained down. The Qin army on the ground sprinted harder, in addition to the sound of drums, the desire to survive was also urging all the siege soldiers all the time.
Under the rain of arrows, it is definitely the realm of death for the besiegers.
On the Chenglou of Linjin Pass, the Wei army is also a war drum that shakes the sky.
Below, an arrow with enough power cut through the air flow and slammed straight at a crossbowman, leaving the crossbowman with no chance to dodge.
Seeing that death was coming, he let go of his hand, and another arrow broke through the air, and when he thought he was dead, he saw a sharp sword shoot down the oncoming arrow in that critical shot.
Turning around in surprise, the person who came into view was Wu Ming. Hurriedly glancing at each other, Wu Ming threw the other party a positive look.
"General Wu, the Qin people's offensive is too strong, please avoid it in the city for a while." At this time, Ni Tao rushed over with a huge shield and shouted loudly at Wu Ming.
Wu Ming knew that he had just arrived, and he had no military merits and no popularity, so if he withdrew at this time, the prestige that he had just raised under the city would definitely turn into a virtual shadow, and if he didn't do a good job of defending the city, the morale of the Wei soldiers would plummet.
glanced at him lightly, "For the sake of the generals, how can they be greedy for life and afraid of death, you go and organize people to prepare to roll wood, and when the Qin army approaches, throw it down for me." ”
"The last general commands."
The arrows continued.
Not far away, a crossbowman was pierced in the chest by a sharp arrow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground and died in an instant.
Wu Ming, who witnessed all this, showed a ruthless look at the corner of his mouth, and turned over in the air to dodge the arrow shot towards his leg and fell directly to the soldier's side.
Pushing away the deceased's still warm body, he grabbed his bow, mounted the arrow, and after a short aiming, an arrow was fired, and the cold arrow pierced the sky and shot straight at a general in the Qin army on the ground.
The frantic shouting of killing seemed to make the generals of the Qin army forget the danger, and the sharp arrow struck, piercing directly through the leather armor and piercing the heart.
The figure flashed, Wu Ming gritted his teeth and changed the place, changed the target, and the bow in his hand was raised again, and the arrow was wound.
There was a sound in the air, and another Qin army general on the ground flipped on his horse.
Amid the shouting of killing, the Qin army, which had been killed and wounded, finally came to the foot of the city wall, and the twelve soldiers lifted the ladder on their shoulders high, put it on the top of the towering wall, and then climbed at great speed.
"Prepare ......"
Eight soldiers who were strong and unusually strong roared in unison, slamming the bumping wood in their hands into the closed tall city gate.
Under the huge impact, the city gate made a shocking bang. The soldiers who controlled the crashing wood felt their arms numb every time they retreated.
However, even if he was numb, the hands were still rigidly controlling the wood.
"Prepare ......"
Another hard hit. The moment the wood came into contact with the city gate, it was still a deafening sound.
……
"Quick, quick, quick......"
A strong city, but its own load-bearing capacity is limited, and ordinary people carry a list of rocks the size of a human head on the wall for the defenders to use.
Ni Tao's face tightened, and his expression was rigorous urging the strong men and the soldiers who came and went.
