Chapter 62: The suicidal Qin army
The Qin army's lifeless charge made Wu Lei feel inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and the partial generals beside him were excited and screaming, and one of the partial generals shouted loudly, "General, is this Qin army stupid? This is completely sending you to death!"
"Yes, there are no siege equipment, even if you rush under the city wall, you can't climb up, are these people evil?" Another general was also puzzled.
They are right, the infantry of the Qin army is a group of crazy people, even if there are no siege equipment, one by one they still desperately rush forward, although there are 20,000 archers behind them and the guards on the city wall to shoot, but the ten-meter-high city wall, and it is a hundred meters away, their arrows can't play any role at all, and they can't even shoot on the city wall, even if some shoot at the head of the city, the power is very small, and even the armor on the guards can't shoot through.
On the contrary, the arrows of the guards, because they are condescending arrows, multiply the power, even if the Qin army has a shield to resist, it will be useless, even if some infantry rush to the edge of the city wall, it will be smashed by the rolling wood and thunder stones that roll down from the city wall, and in just half an hour, the Qin army has been killed and wounded, as many as tens of thousands.
"Crazy, crazy, I think that bullshit His Highness is also crazy, such a siege, even if you put all of them on it, you can't attack it," looking at the corpses that had been piled up more than a meter high under the city, another general muttered.
This is a one-sided massacre, there is no suspense, if it continues to develop according to this situation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the 150,000 troops of the Qin army will be explained here.
Although the guards at the head of the city were puzzled by the actions of the Qin army, they did not show mercy to their subordinates, and the arrows still flew down from the city like raindrops, and the rolling wood thunder stone was extremely lethal, and a rolling log or a thunder stone could often kill a large area of the Qin army.
The rise of their Heavenly Thunder Army, but Qin Yuan, who was behind the Qin army, had a gloomy and terrible face, his face was like stagnant water, looking at the Qin soldiers in front of him who were constantly dying, and almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "What the hell is going on with this Lin Baxing, why hasn't the city gate been opened yet." ”
Next to him, there was a middle-aged man, his face was as white as jade, his chin had a vague beard, he was wearing a red armor, carrying a sword at his waist, and under his crotch was a BMW with battle armor.
However, in his right hand, he was holding a gray pu fan that did not match his outfit at all, he was not a military general, but a pure literary general, and he was also a well-known figure in the Qin State, Zhang Xin, the military advisor and deputy commander of the Di Sha Army.
Previously, he set up a plan, which was to use trebuchets to attract the attention of the Tianlei Army, and then charge the whole army without siege equipment, in order to confuse the opponent.
And secretly, those black-clothed people in the city were the dark chess pieces he arranged, opening the city gate when the Tianlei Army was confused, and then letting the army rush into the city.
Everything before was within his plan, and the current city gate was indeed not guarded by a single soldier, but until now, Lin Baxing had not opened the city gate, which made Zhang Xin also frown.
"Could it be that Lin Baxing is deceiving us?" Looking at the Qin soldiers who were suffering more and more casualties, Zhang Xin shook his fan and muttered in a deep voice.
According to the previous plan, as long as the drums in the Qin army sounded, Lin Baxing would open the city gate after a quarter of an hour and let the Qin army enter, but now, it has been nearly an hour, and the city gate is still closed, without the slightest sign of opening, which can only show two problems, one is Lin Baxing's rebellion, and the other is that the plan has been discovered.
Zhang Xin is confident, his plan is seamless, no matter how smart the enemy is, he can't see through his plan, since the plan has not been recognized, then, the only explanation that the city gate has not been opened until now is that Lin Baxing has defected.
Hearing Zhang Xin's self-talk, Qin Yuan frowned slightly, he looked at the battle situation in front of him, made a decisive decision, and shouted at the herald beside him, "Pass my military order, Mingjin withdraw the troops." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. One of the heralds beside him answered, and hurried away.
As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, and the 150,000 Qin army, with the loss of more than 20,000 infantry, retreated back like a tide with the sound of gold.
Attacking the city for an hour did not have any effect, but the Qin soldiers were killed and wounded more than 20,000 people, if this was, for Qin Yuan, his heart was dripping blood.
He didn't feel sorry for the lives of 20,000 soldiers, but he was unhappy that he didn't get any effect, and this siege was completely wiped clean and sent to death.
Back in the Chinese military account, Qin Yuan is face was gloomy, sitting on an important chair, his cold gaze swept over the faces of the generals one by one, and finally his gaze fell on Zhang Xin's body, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Zhang, you should tell me, what's going on?"
At the beginning, it was Zhang Xin who put forward this suggestion, and now the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers is not only a loss, but also has a greater impact on the morale of the soldiers.
Hearing Qin Yuan's questioning, Zhang Xin's body was shocked, and he hurriedly stood up from the chair, he wanted to explain, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed his words again, "Your Highness, it was Weichen who miscalculated, but the most important thing now is to attack the city quickly, otherwise, if it drags on, as soon as the patriotic reinforcements arrive, Weichen is afraid,"
Before he finished his words, Qin Yuan was furious, and threw the wine glass in his hand out with a flick of his hand, with a snap, the wine glass fell in front of Zhang Xin, and the wine inside spilled Zhang Xin's body, Qin Yuan said angrily, "Siege the city, how to attack it now, morale has plummeted, can the siege be able to take it now?" Zhang Xin, you are talking about it for me, how to attack!" The last few sentences were almost shouted out.
In an instant, the entire big tent was quiet, one by one the towers pulled their heads, no one dared to speak, even Zhang Xin, and chose to be silent, everyone knew that Qin Yuan's anger was surging at this time, and whoever came out was looking for death.
Let's look at the side of the Tianlei Army, at this time, Wu Lei and Liang Xiao sat on the tower of the city wall, looking at the Qin army that had retreated, Wu Lei raised the wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile to Liang Xiao, "This time it is really thanks to Mr.'s clever calculation, if it weren't for Mr., I'm afraid that now the Qin army has entered the city, let's do this cup." ”
Until now, Wu Lei was afraid for a while when he thought about it.
Liang Xiao smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and drank a glass with Wu Lei, which was regarded as accepting Wu Lei's thanks.
Zhang Xin made a lot of calculations, he just didn't expect Liang Xiao to be a person, just when the Qin army was charging without dying, Liang Xiao noticed something was wrong for the first time, and determined that this must be a ploy of the Qin army.
He sent someone down to the city wall to see the condition of the city gate, and sure enough, he found that Gu Baxing and his party were still here, and wanted to open the city gate while the city gate was empty.
Of course, Gu Baxing didn't expect Liang Xiao to send someone down to check, and after learning the news that Lin Baxing and others wanted to take advantage of the situation to enter and open the city gate, Liang Xiao immediately sent 20,000 soldiers down the city wall to arrest Lin Baxing.
20,000 against a hundred people, there was no suspense, Gu Baxing and Gu Nan were both captured alive, and the others were shot by random arrows.
is the so-called wrong step and wrong step, just because of Liang Xiao's unintentional move, but the defeat of the Qin army was a mess, and after that, the whole army was wiped out, of course, this is a later story.
