Xinzheng, as the capital, has high walls and strong defenses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe western city wall alone is ten miles long, and on this ten-mile-long front, 40,000 besieging Qin troops are laid out, and there are 4,000 Qin troops in each mile, which is unprecedented. The Qin army climbed the ladder and quickly climbed the city. For a time, the western city wall was densely packed with Qin troops.
Nei Shiteng, the commander-in-chief of the Qin army under the city, knew that as long as these Qin troops were allowed to attack the city, it would be easy to ask the gods to send the gods, and in terms of combat effectiveness, the Han army was still far behind, and when the time came, Xinzheng City would be broken.
As far as the siege of the city is concerned, when the soldiers of the Qin army climb to half the height of the city wall, it is the most dangerous time. At this time, if you can't resist the defeat and retreat, the loss is often the most serious. That's why Nesten's heart has always been in his throat. Under the city, the catapult and the bed crossbow were ready, just waiting for him to give an order, and once again give full play to the advantage of long-range attacks to cover the besieging Qin army.
Han Jun's Rolling Stones are also ready, after two rounds of purging, Han Hu has been quite cautious, facing the Qin Army, he must be up to twelve points of spirit in order not to suffer.
Seeing that the besieging Han army had moved to half the height of the city wall, Han Hu shouted: "Release!" ”
Countless rolling stones poured down, and the Qin army did not dare to slack off, and raised their shields on their heads. But how could manpower compete with equipment, and in an instant, countless Qin troops were knocked down, like dumplings, and fell to the foot of the city wall that was more than a foot high, either dead or wounded. Some of the ladders were completely broken, and under the nest, there were no eggs, and the soldiers who climbed on the top fell down and let out a miserable scream.
Han Hu was quite proud, although the Qin army was fierce, but according to this attack method, as long as his own wood rolling stones were enough, no matter how many Qin troops were, they were not all cannon fodder.
Just when the Korean army was rejoicing that they had just repelled a wave of attacks, a familiar sound of air tearing came again, this was the call of death, it was an angry counterattack. When the Korean army threw the wooden rolling stones, there was no longer cover for the body, and Neshi Teng seized the opportunity, fired a salvo of catapults and bed crossbows, and roared towards the Korean troops on the head of the city. All of a sudden, the Han army at the head of the city cried for his father and mother, and the wolves rushed to the pig, killing and wounding.
Taking advantage of this effort, the Qin army that had been repulsed just now climbed up the cloud ladder again, and at this time, the Han army at the head of the city was dodging the attack of the Qin army's long-range weapons, so how could they have time to operate the wooden rolling stones. In just a few blinks of an eye, the Qin army was already about to climb to the top of the city!
Han Hu was shocked when he saw it, this is not good. Once the Qin army reached the top of the city, everything was over. So far, it doesn't matter so much, he pulled out his saber with a "brush" and shouted: "Everyone is in place!" Those who do not keep their posts and go to the bunker to hide without permission will be killed! ”
After speaking, he raised his hand and slashed a Korean soldier who was fleeing.
At the critical moment, the determination and courage of the general are the most critical, the Han army saw that the general was so brave, and he was defending the country, how could he retreat, what about the rain of stones and crossbows of the Qin army, how could the Qin army avoid the rolling stones, and how could they be in chaos under the attack of the Qin army.
The South Korean army regrouped and held shields to block falling stones and crossbow arrows from the sky. Constantly people were smashed, stabbed to death by crossbow arrows, but no one retreated, the so-called "white blade plus chest, regardless of the stray arrows", the Qin army on the ladder is a white blade, and the long-range attack is a stray arrow, they are desperate to launch another wave of rolling stones to drive back the Qin army that is about to climb to the head of the city.
"One, two, three, put!" Han Hu gave an order, and there were countless wooden rolling stones, this time more and more fierce than the last time. To say that this thing is really a weapon to defend the city, the Qin army on the ladder is like an avalanche, countless people are submerged, pushed down the ladder, or the ladder is broken. Even if a few people have already ascended to the top of the city, the disparity in strength is huge, and it is useless, and they are soon strangled by the Korean army at the head of the city and thrown their bodies under the city.
Ne Shiten's face became more and more solemn, he didn't expect the guards of the Han army to be so fierce, and under the long-range cover of his own side, they still lost so many people. The head of the city was still not attacked. Although the casualties of their own side were comparable to those of the other party, such a battle loss ratio was not acceptable to the Qin army, which was known as the army of tigers and wolves. Under normal circumstances, as long as the Qin army is out, the other side will either be defeated or completely annihilated, and there are few people who work in vain. Do you want to lose your share in Xinzheng City today?
Nei Shi Teng is not convinced, he must save this face, and he must capture Xinzheng in order to make the Qin army that sacrificed before valuable. Thinking like this in his heart, he urged the Qin army to continue the siege. Remote cover, ladder climbing, loading and hitting the door. Even if Xinzheng is a hard bone, this bone must be crushed.
"Pass me the order! Those who guard the top of the city will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and ten thousand captains! Neston shouted.
The so-called "under the heavy reward, there must be brave men", the Qin army was originally a warlike army, and when they heard the battle, they were happy, and just now so many brothers died under the city wall, how could they not avenge them. With a shout, the Qin army rushed up again, this time the offensive was even more violent, someone in front was killed, and the one behind immediately went up. Break a ladder and put another one immediately.
The South Korean army has no way to retreat, they have to fight, behind them are their parents, wives and children, this is their capital, if Xinzheng falls, South Korea will be completely finished. They don't want to be slaves to their country, they must defend their homeland to the death.
All of a sudden, the shouts under Xinzheng City shook the sky, and both sides were red-eyed. The battle has entered a white heat, you come and go, there are mutual casualties, and the city wall of Xinzheng West has become a veritable meat grinder.
At this time, Ying Ping had been leading the cavalry on the flank to cover the siege infantry, and he couldn't help much, so he could only rely on the rapid movement of the cavalry to release cold arrows and kill and injure the Korean army at the head of the city. It didn't have much impact on the overall battle situation.
At this time, the battle had entered a stalemate, and few people on both sides of Qin and Han could keep their senses. Ying Ping looked at the battlefield full of corpses, and felt that the battle should not be fought like this, and if it continued like this, even if he could break through the city, he would have to pay a huge price. So he rushed to the Chinese army and said loudly: "General Nei Shiteng, such a hard attack, I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate, let's first Mingjin withdraw the troops, and then Xu Tu Liangzhi." ”
"To fight a war is to die, if you want to retreat at the slightest setback, how can you win a tough battle!" Nesten was already red-eyed, and after listening to Ying Ping's words, he suddenly felt impatient, and his exit was unceremonious. After all, in this army, he is the main general, and Ying Ping is the deputy general.
"I'm not afraid of tough battles!" Ying Ping blushed and retorted, he was strong-blooded, and he was reprimanded in front of everyone, and he also felt shameless. "Those who are worried about winning peace are afraid that the blood of the Qin army will be shed in vain, and their efforts will be fruitless. The South Korean army is heavily defended, if our army does not have good strategies and tactics, why fight hard, please withdraw the troops for the time being, give three days to win the draw, and will definitely take Xinzheng in one fell swoop! ”
Nesteng is not a brave and unscrupulous person, he just feels that he has invested so much, give up at this time, the sacrifices in front are in vain, so he wants to hold on, seeing that Ying Ping forcibly admonished, and made a military order, saying that he could break the city in three days, and his attitude softened, after all, he needs to be responsible for the entire army, and at the same time, he must also consider the weight of Ying Ping's words.
"Mingjin retreats!" Nesten ordered.
The besieging Qin army withdrew, and the Korean army defending the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the battlefield returned to calm.
