The three large crossbow machines, which had only released a round of empty arrows, had just appeared and completely turned into a pile of broken wood in less than a moment, leaving Xiang Yi with no weapons in his hands that could threaten the infantry of the siege Xuanwu army.

Until the siege infantry of the Xuanwu Army holding a giant shield advanced to a distance of less than three hundred steps from the head of Anfeng City, there was no longer any large-scale crossbow machine on the head of Anfeng City.

As Weng Zhongling's flag waved, the 5,000 Xuanwu soldiers armed with strong crossbows who had been following the left and right wings of the large Lianshè crossbow machine began to move forward slowly. At the same time, the two heavy armored cavalry of the Xuanwu Army, which had been cruising around the periphery of the left and right wings of the entire army formation, began to spread out to both sides purposefully, and the large Lianshè crossbow machine carried by the Xuanwu Army was improved by Shangfang and used the gear machine to load the giant crossbow, so the speed of the fire shè intersection was at least several times faster than the Lianshè crossbow machine that the Qin army was equipped before, and it also saved a full half of the start.

When the infantry of the Xuanwu army attacking the city was less than 100 steps away from the city wall of Anfeng City, more than 300 large crossbow machines far away from the rear had already rushed towards the city wall of only 100 zhang that would be the main attack direction of the Xuanwu army, and there were nearly 10,000 giant crossbow arrows.

The Chu troops defending the city were all huddled under the battlements of the city wall, and the nearly 10,000 giant crossbow arrows were basically in vain, except for some direct results in the first wave, and the rest basically failed, at most they were splashed out of the broken corpses and injured some Chu troops. ╔╗

The Chu army on the city wall can hide, but there is no place to hide when entering the city. Huge crossbows continued to cross the city wall and enter Anfeng City with a loud roar, causing screams again and again, and in less than a moment, there was basically no one to enter within two hundred steps behind the west city wall.

In the end, for the sake of his own life, on the western wall of Anfeng City, no Chu army dared to show his head. All the Chu troops defending the city, including Xiang Yibenjin, could only curl up as much as possible and hide under the battlements.

The Xuanwu Army's large company crossbow machine had already stopped firing shè when the siege infantry entered within 100 steps of the city wall. However, the soldiers of the Chu army who were huddled under the city wall still didn't dare to move.

No matter how Xiang Yi yelled and scolded, none of the Chu soldiers dared to stand up. Of course, Xiang Yi himself also didn't dare to stand up. I didn't get into and didn't cherish my own xing life.

In this way, the five thousand foot soldiers who attacked the city reached the bottom of the walls of Anfeng City without encountering the slightest strong resistance.

"Bang bang bang!"

In a series of loud noises, dozens of thick and long huge cloud ladders were set up on the walls of Anfeng City.

As the siege ladder was erected on the city wall, outside the city, the rumbling war drums of the Qin army, which had just stopped, suddenly sounded again. ╔╗

The ladder set up the city wall, as long as you are not a fool knows, the Qin army will definitely climb the city wall along the ladder immediately. If the Qin army wants to attack the city, it means that the large crossbow machine of the Qin army, which has been whistling and flying around, will naturally not attack again.

Bi Jing, if the Qin army attacks when they are climbing the city, the first person who will be injured will be the Qin army outside the city wall.

"Quick! Qin Jin is about to attack the city, and he won't shè arrows anymore, so quickly knock down these ladders for me. Smash me with a rolling stone sasshole! ”

Xiang Yi got up with a bone, kicked and kicked the Chu soldiers who were still lying on the ground and shivering, and roared loudly. But even if he shouted through his throat, only a few trembling Chu soldiers stood up.

These were the first time they went to the battlefield and the first time they saw real war. The huge crossbow arrows roaring from under the city, and the miserable howls of their companions before death that constantly sounded on the city wall, had already completely destroyed the courage they had finally been mustered up by Xiang Yi.

Xiang Yi successively used his bronze sword to slash several Chu soldiers who were cowering under the city wall and couldn't move, and the Chu army defending the city on the city wall finally shrank up and stood up with the weapons in his hands half-squatting. ╔╗

At this time, it stands to reason that you should use a bow and arrow. However, these people who have just become soldiers, not to mention a few people who can really draw bows and arrows, and now the Chu State is not even enough to use Xiang Liang's descendant bows and arrows, let alone use them for these soldiers who are obviously cannon fodder.

The long ladder was set up on top of the city, and Xiang Yi looked inside, only to find that none of the Qin troops had climbed, but they all took more than ten steps back, firmly covering their bodies with giant shields.

"Buzz!"

The terrifying hum that made the scalp tingle suddenly sounded from the back of the phalanx of the infantry besieging the city, and with the humming sound of the air trembling, a large dark cloud rose from the large array of the Qin army in Hessen.

The huge dark clouds instantly climbed above the walls of Anfeng City, and then fell sharply with a sharp whistling sound!

Qin into the invincible strong crossbow, after more than ten years, once again showed a peerless style in the land south of the Yangtze River!

When the buzzing sound sounded, the soldiers of the Chu army, who had just gotten up and were about to push the ladder on the city wall, involuntarily raised their heads to see what it was. ╔╗The dark clouds fall like lightning, visible to the naked eye, in the black clouds, there are countless sharp arrows flashing in the sun!

The moment they heard the sharp whistling sound, all the Chu army conditions quickly curled up again and hid under the corner.

However, this time it was not the giant crossbow that came from below, but tens of thousands of small triangular crossbow arrows that were no more than a few inches long!

In many cases, the comparison of the combat power of the two sides cannot be calculated by the number of entries at all. Just like the Iraq War in later generations, Lao Sa was known as hundreds of thousands of Jing Rui's army, and Mi Di only dispatched tens of thousands of troops to sweep everything!

A section of the city wall that is no more than a hundred feet long, gathering 20,000 or 30,000 crossbow arrows, how many dead angles can there be?

At the moment when the buzzing sounded, Xiang Yi had already closed his eyes.

Didn't escape the attack of the Qin army's crossbow in such a situation! Even if Xiang Liang's Jiangdong disciple Jing Rui is here, he can only defend passively. What's more, the rabble in Anfeng City who want a shield but no shield, and a strong bow but no strong bow. ╔╗

Xiang Yi knew that he still underestimated the combat power of the Qin army. Or maybe he looked down on the combat power of the soldiers of Anfeng City, which was known as an army of 70,000.

Countless sharp crossbow arrows of several inches in size fell on this section of the city wall where Xiang Yi was located as densely as rain. The sound of crossbow arrows tearing armor and clothing and flesh penetrating into the body was endless, but the miserable howls were extremely rare, and many Chu soldiers often turned into hedgehogs and died before they had time to scream.

As Xiang Yi, who was full of crossbow arrows, fell, it symbolized that the overall situation of Anfeng City had been decided.

The siege soldiers did not wait long, and after the five thousand crossbowmen had finished their work, they climbed up the city wall one after another along the ladder they had set up earlier. The two heavily armored cavalry cruising on the left and right flanks of the Qin army's large array moved towards both sides of the city gate one after another, and began to clear the Chu soldiers on the remaining two sections of the city wall with the strong crossbows in their hands.

The Xuanwu army has successfully climbed the wall of Anfeng City with zero casualties.

The heavily armored foot soldiers of the Xuanwu Army who climbed the city wall did not stop at all, and quickly followed the road of the city wall towards the bottom of the city wall. The next thing they had to do was open the gates of Anfeng City.

The Xuanwu army foot soldiers who climbed the city wall later followed the west city wall towards the north and south city walls. Everywhere they passed, countless Chu soldiers fled for their lives, and they didn't dare to resist at all.

In less than an hour, the entire Anfeng City had fallen into the hands of Weng Zhong.

In this battle, the Xuanwu army suffered a total of no more than 100 casualties.

The 70,000 defending Chu troops in Anfeng City, except for the thousands of soldiers who were killed by crossbow arrows during the siege of the city and were trampled to death by the Xuanwu army who climbed the city wall and fled for their lives, the rest of the nearly 60,000 people entered, and they all became prisoners without being reminded by the Xuanwu army.

Except for the Anfeng County Order, the rest of the officials, large and small, were all captured.

However, Xiang Bo and Anfeng County Ling ran away. It turned out that Xiang Bo went down the city wall and directly led a few relatives to secretly open the city gate and escaped, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take away the beautiful concubine given to him by Anfeng County, and Anfeng County Commander also fled with him.

Weng Zhong did not enter the city, and while ordering to clean up the battlefield, he sent a large number of soldiers to pacify the frightened people of Anfeng. After everything was ready, leaving behind 2,500 heavy armored cavalry and 2,500 heavy armored foot soldiers, Weng Zhong directly led the army towards Shouchun, which was more than 60 miles away.

The capture of Anfeng City did not challenge Xing at all in Weng Zhong's opinion. However, a large number of prisoners of war of the Chu army brought him unexpected news, that is, now the Shouchun garrison is only more than 100,000 in, and Xiang Liang has led the army to cross the Huai River last night to defeat the 200,000 troops of Feng Zheng and Han Xin, who have been stationed on the other side of the Huai River.

Xiang Liang crossed the Huai River and took the initiative to attack the camp that had now been garrisoned by the Qinglong and White Tiger armies, and Weng Zhong was not worried at all. He didn't think that Xiang Liang would be able to succeed in a sneak attack, and since he couldn't succeed in a sneak attack, it seemed that he could only fight hard in the end.

Hard-hitting, 300,000 Chu troops met the two Jing Rui established by the 200,000 emperors, and Weng Zhong was already envious of Xu Chuang and Du Teng's good luck in his heart. That's a lot of work.

But his luck doesn't seem to be bad.

Isn't the credit for breaking through Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, big enough?

When the Xuanwu army broke through Anfeng City. Xiang Yi's messenger had just arrived in Shouchun City. When Weng Zhong led the army straight to Shouchun, Zhaotong and Jinggong. Qu Ping and the others were still undecided whether they should send troops to aid Anfeng.

Anfeng City is garrisoned by 70,000 troops, and the food and so on are quite sufficient, no matter how you look at it, it can last for two or three years. But they didn't know that it took less than an hour for the Qin army to completely control Anfeng City.

With a distance of more than sixty miles, even if the Xuanwu army marched slowly, it was only a journey of two or three hours. What's more, after having a large number of box cars, the Xuanwu Army's mobility has been greatly improved, but for more than an hour, the forward of Weng Zhong's army has been able to vaguely see the faint outline of the city wall of the new Chu capital Chengshou Chun in the distance.

Weng Zhong had no intention of hiding his whereabouts at all, so when he was still more than twenty miles away from Shouchun, the Xuanwu army was discovered by the scouts sent by Shouchun to Anfeng, and flew to report to Xiongxin, the king of Chu.

When he received the news that the Qin army would be under the city of Shouchun after a maximum of half an hour, the entire Chu State government and opposition were suddenly panicked!
