Chapter 57: Withdrawal of troops
"Immediately send out a signal to inform the people buried at the other gate of the West City. 60,000 troops obey my orders and attack the city immediately! ”
"Yes."
The forward commander ordered the formation, and the horn sounded slowly to herald the opening of the army.
The forward army of 20,000 took the lead in attacking, and the soldiers in the first few rows picked up their shields and surrounded the soldiers who transported the siege ladder, and the army soon arrived at the bottom of the Xicheng City.
"Quick, release the arrow!" Ling Xiaoxie urged.
"It's useless to shoot arrows." Jian Zhan instructed two soldiers to pick up the stone placed on one side before the battle, and when he saw someone climbing the ladder, he smashed the stone all over the place.
The war lasted a quarter of an hour, and the stones ran out.
Song Xiaoxiao went to the treasury to get a few machetes, and took one by himself to cut off the long ladder that was constantly climbing up the city wall.
Seeing this, the forward commander called the archers to shoot the tower.
"Quick, get down!" Song Xiaoxiao cut off a ladder and climbed another ladder, she raised a knife to cut down a ladder, and her thick arms wrapped around her neck from the side, and the two of them threw themselves on the ground.
In an instant, ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time, and the scene was shocking.
However, this was not the end of the story, and then another wave of arrows with oil and fire fired into the tower.
Duan Jiuqing pulled her and ordered a temporary withdrawal from the city wall. There are still people who swear to defend the tower, raise knives and cut off the city ladder that they took this opportunity to take up. Because if they are all gone, the city will enter an unguarded state, and the Qin soldiers will attack the city.
Several waves of arrows attacked, and the Qi soldiers suffered many casualties.
"You stay here any longer, and don't step out of this door until I've allowed you to come out. Remember, those who disobey their generals will be beheaded. Duan Jiuqing took Song Xiaoxiao to a safe arrival, and left after giving a stern order.
Song Xiaoxiao touched her nose, does she look like such an obedient and well-behaved child?
Duan Jiuqing returned to the city wall and lifted the Cangyun Blade to kill the enemy, and this side was a fierce kill.
Under the city tower, the siege vehicle quickly broke through the city gate, and Jian Zhan personally led a team of soldiers, and it was another endless battle.
"Are there any more stones?" Song Xiaoxiao ran to the warehouse and found the steward who was guarding the warehouse.
The steward said truthfully: "There are still a lot of stables over there, because the treasury here can't be placed, and the general has not ordered it to be transported, so it has been left there." ”
After Song Xiaoxiao's interrogation, she asked the steward to call more than a dozen people to follow her to the stable.
She counted the stones, and there were forty.
Song Xiaoxiao looked back at the number of people, and could only order ten people to roll the stones to the side of the battle city first, and the remaining four people took a few barrels of oil under the leadership of the warehouse steward.
After everything was ready, Song Xiaoxiao put the stone on the straight alley 100 meters away from the Xicheng City Tower, lined up in 551, poured oil, lit five torches, and distributed them to five people.
At the sound of an order, the stone can break through the city.
Song Xiaoxiao found someone to go to the city tower to find Duan Jiuqing and retreat.
When Duan Jiuqing heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then heard the soldiers who came to report that it was Song Xiaoxiao's idea, or he ordered the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses.
Jian Zhan was killing the enemy under the city, and when he heard the horn of the retreating soldiers, his scarlet eyes cleared up a little.
"Listen to my generals, retire."
Outside the city, Rong Chi sat on a horse, his eyes dim.
In the city, Song Xiaoxiao waited for this moment, "Put!" ”
The soldier lit the boulder with oil on it, and when he saw that the fire was almost over, he kicked it hard.
The stones rolled downhill, and the fire gradually increased with the help of the wind.
