Chapter 105: Siege Battle (Part II)
At this time, the city wall had fallen into a melee stage, and the Qin army and Zhang Chu's army were fighting each other everywhere.
'Kill! ’
The two Zhang Chujun dead soldiers held short blades in their hands, stepped on the ladder and rushed up, kicked their legs before they could take the last step, and suddenly jumped up, fiercely slaughtering the Qin army towards the city from the air.
More than ten spears were picked out from the city in an instant, and they quickly stabbed the two of them in the chest and abdomen like poisonous snakes, and the blood was dripping, and one person was directly stabbed to death.
However, because Qin Jun did not cooperate properly, he did not immediately lose his breath, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, stared at a pair of fierce eyes, and roared and threw the short blade in his hand towards the opposite Qin army.
A Qin soldier didn't have time to dodge, and was instantly pierced through the chest by a short blade, and before he could even say a word, he immediately fell to the ground, and the remaining ten or so Qin soldiers were suddenly stunned, because their mistakes killed the robe.
With the space that the two dead soldiers exchanged for their lives, more Zhang Chujun dead soldiers rushed behind them.
At this time, a dead soldier of Zhang Chu who rushed up aimed at a commander of the Qin army, and without the slightest hesitation, a sword stabbed him in the throat, not caring about the threat of the long spear.
Seeing that the other party was brave, Nashi Chang couldn't help but panic, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his weapon and retreated to block.
However, the corner of the dead man's mouth suddenly smiled coldly, and the long sword swirled, instantly stabbing at Qin Jun's left shoulder.
With a 'flutter', Shi Chang was stabbed in the left shoulder, and immediately fell to the ground injured, and was immediately cut off by the dead man.
These dead soldiers are not afraid of death, they are fierce, they rush to the city, not seeking self-preservation, only seeking to kill, ignoring the weapons stabbed by the Qin army at all, just crazy slashing and killing, almost cruel to die with the other party.
Ge Ying is very smart, because of Zhao Jun's reasons, Zhang Chujun's morale plummeted, so he took the dead soldiers as the vanguard and played Zhang Chujun's morale, plus the Qin army's combat experience was obviously inferior to Zhang Chujun's, so he soon fell into a comprehensive disadvantage, allowing Zhang Chujun to clear out a few defensive lines on the city wall.
Immediately, more Zhang Chujun rushed from the ladder, and the countless enemy troops under the ladder were like endless swarms of ants, waiting to rush up the ladder one by one.
In the end, the entire city of Linzi was already in danger, and Lu Ze and the others would be blood-soaked and heavy-armed, with fierce momentum, but the momentum of the Qin army had been suppressed, and they were retreating one after another, and they could not do anything.
Seeing that the east gate was about to be lost, suddenly the towering figure of Zhao Jun appeared in the city.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was wearing mighty armor, the two Zhang Chu dead soldiers expected to be a big man, and suddenly the fierce light appeared, screaming, and rushing towards Zhao Jun with swords in hand.
"Humph!"
A trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Jun's eyes, and the Wushan Sword suddenly swept out with the momentum of thunder, and with two snorts, the two of them were immediately beheaded on the spot, and the intestines and flesh and blood were mixed and flowing, which was unbearable.
It's just that the two of them are not dead yet, they struggle to crawl forward with one hand, and they still want to stab Zhao Jun with the other hand holding up their swords.
Zhao Jun didn't even look at the two of them, strode forward, and stepped on their heads by the way, the iron-wrapped combat boots only used a little force, and immediately crushed their heads, and their brains splashed.
At this time, Zhao Jun saw an enemy lieutenant blocking the way, and immediately stabbed straight with a sword, as fast as lightning.
With a 'flutter' sound, the long sword pierced through his chest, and the lieutenant froze before he could raise his sword, his mouth continued to bleed, and his eyes instantly turned white.
Several soldiers next to the captain were red-eyed, and they rushed over and wanted to take revenge, but they were chopped off by Xiong Le and a few people behind him.
The two hundred iron guards took the Zhao army and the leaders of the four major iron guards as arrows, and spread across the entire city wall, like an iron sharp wall, crushing all the way forward, blood splashed everywhere they passed, and the flesh and bones burst, all of which were the screams of Zhang Chujun's dead soldiers, which was originally a crumbling east gate, instantly became stable as a rock.
Soon, Zhao Jun rushed to the side of a cloud ladder, waved his Wushan sword, and slashed down on the cloud ladder to grasp the top 'click, click. Two breaking sounds sounded in succession, and the ladder claw hand responded to the sound, and the iron wrapped ladder claw could not stop the Wushan Sword that cut gold and broken jade.
The cloud ladder that lost its claw and hand quickly slipped down against the city wall, and in an exclamation, the movable ladder fell with a 'bang', and dozens of Zhang Chujun on it fell under the city, knocked down a piece of his own people, and finally fell to his death.
Zhao Jun stood on the battlement, raised his sword and shouted: "Roar! ”
"Master Hou is mighty!"
"Master Hou is mighty!"
"Master Hou is mighty!"
The Qin soldiers, who had been suppressed in the city, suddenly shouted with cheers, and then the momentum was shocked, and with the assistance of the iron guard, they launched a fierce counterattack against Zhang Chujun, Tang Li and others took the lead with a sword, and soon drove Zhang Chujun down by virtue of their numerical advantage.
Yu Sheng, who rushed to hear the news, took a dozen blacksmiths, picked up a sledgehammer, and smashed several other ladders with three strokes and five divisions, and the same as the previous ladder, was instantly destroyed, smashing and injuring a number of soldiers.
The battle situation took a turn for the worse, Zhang Chujun instantly fell into the downwind, Zhang Chujun was in the rear of the city, Zhou Shi beat his horse to the side of Ge Ying's chariot, and said hurriedly: "Order a retreat, we have more than 7,000 casualties." ”
Ge Ying looked at the city and frowned, he was exhausted, he didn't last long on the first day, and it was difficult to take Linzi, but the casualties could not be ignored.
"Retreat, give the order to retreat." Before Ge Ying could make up his mind, Zhou Shi had already given the order to retreat, and he didn't want his soldiers and horses to be seriously injured.
Ge Ying frowned, sighed helplessly, and could only order a retreat, the front army heard about the retreat, so they quickly changed their formation, and the light soldiers under the city hurriedly retreated with cloud carts, and the giant shield soldiers who were originally in the front army quickly stepped forward and covered the withdrawal of the light soldiers with a solid big shield.
"The thieves have withdrawn, haha."
When the soldiers in the city saw the enemy retreating, they immediately cheered to vent the ecstasy of the rest of their lives.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers in the city howled frantically: "Roar! The momentum shook the sky, as if it was like rolling thunder on the horizon, and Zhang Chujun's eardrums hurt outside the city.
Guan Ying asked Zhao Jun for his life: "Master Hou, let's chase it out." ”
Zhao Jun looked back at Zhang Chujun outside the city, and said lightly: "They retreated in an orderly manner, and after the archers and shields were broken, we couldn't take advantage of it in a hurry." ”
Guan Ying looked back at the soldiers in the city, although they were all arrogant and their morale was high, but they were all wounded, and they were obviously tired.
Zhao Jun said to Yu Ziqi: "Send someone to clean up the battlefield, you are going to tell Yu Ji to treat the wounded soldiers." ”
"No!" Yu Ziqi clenched his fists in response, and then turned away.
In the end, Zhao Jun said to Yingbu and others: "Rearrange the uninjured soldiers to defend the city, prepare materials to defend the city, and always be vigilant against the counterattack of the thief army."
In addition, the beheading of combat exploits should be carefully registered, and the soldiers who died and wounded in battle should be comforted more heavily, and if they were too busy, they would go to Sima Xin and Zhou Ke dignitaries, and the brothers should not be allowed to shed blood and tears. ”
"Yes, Master Hou." When the generals and the surrounding soldiers heard this, they were all extremely moved.
In fact, since Fusu ascended the throne, the importance of the army is far less than before, although Fusu did not explicitly abolish the system of farming and warfare, but the implementation is not thorough, merit can not be rewarded, and it will not be punished heavily, and the officials and soldiers below have always complained.
In the end, there were more and more pickled people in the officialdom army, which was also one of the reasons why the local officials were defeated in just a few months after the uprising broke out.
Only Zhao Jun has always insisted on implementing the military merit system and thoroughly implementing the farming and warfare system, even if he pays out of his own pocket, so both the people and the officials have great respect for Zhao Jun
Outside the city, Ge Ying stood on the chariot and looked at the head of Linzi City, extremely unwilling in his heart, seeing that he was about to capture the city wall, but the Zhao army that suddenly appeared turned the battlefield situation in an instant.
This Shenwu Marquis is really powerful, without him and with him, the combat effectiveness shown by the Qin army is completely different.
At this time, Zhou Shi suddenly came on horseback, and said with a mysterious smile: "General Ge, the strong attack will definitely not work, I have a person here, you will definitely be happy to see it, and you can even take Linzi without a single soldier." ”
"Huh?" Ge Ying was stunned for a moment, staring at Zhou Shi with burning eyes: "Who is it?" ”
Zhou Shi said slowly: "Tian Heng, and his three hundred dead soldiers. ”
"Tian Heng? Didn't his brother be killed by Zhao Jun's people in the big swamp of Pei County a few years ago, and he himself was chased like a lost dog, what can he do with only 300 people.
Zhou Shi smiled and said: "That's true, that's why he wants to kill Zhao Jun with all his might, his three hundred dead soldiers may not be useful to us here, but what if they have already lurked in Linzi City?" ”
Ge Ying was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Zhou Shi with shining eyes: "You asked him to come to the military camp to see me." ”
