Chapter 590: Storm the city
Since the Qin army launched an attack, the shouting and killing outside the royal city has never stopped.
Even at night, the Qin army attacked from time to time, making it impossible for the defenders in the city to sleep peacefully.
Lecheng and the others had no choice but to divide the defenders into two teams and take turns defending the city.
But even then, it will still be affected.
Twenty days later, the Qin army successfully filled the moat and officially launched a general attack.
Zhang Ruo drove the chariot under his command to the city and personally beat the drums to help.
The sound of magnificent war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the mighty Qin army rushed towards the royal city like a mudslide rushing down from the mountains.
Juan and Chen Zhuang led the Qin army to rush through the rain of arrows, like two nimble apes, quickly climbing towards the city wall, and the arrows, gold juice, and iron thistles on the city frantically smashed towards the city, and they were all shot down by the two.
Behind the two of them were dozens of martial arts pioneers, all of whom were good hands brought by Zhang Ruo from Bashu, not only Chen Zhuang, a powerhouse in the Transcendent Realm, but also more than 20 masters of the Gangyuan Realm.
They live in the mountains all year round, are proficient in rock climbing, climb high, and no amount of the tall city walls can stop them from moving upward.
They carried a long ladder through a rain of arrows and galloped to the corner, and although there were people falling to the ground with arrows in between, they were soon filled.
The long ladder leaned towards the city wall, clasping the female wall upside down, and no matter how hard the defenders tried, they could not push the ladder down.
I saw that this group of people took a deep breath, held a big shield in one hand, and grabbed it violently with the other hand, and their bodies rushed out like monkeys.
But the ordinary Qin soldiers behind him didn't have such good luck.
The locust-like rain of arrows devoured them in an instant, and even more hot gold juice was poured on their faces, and Qin Jun instantly let out a heart-rending cry, falling down from the high cloud ladder, and slammed into the ground, blood staining the ground red.
The soldiers in the front fell, and the soldiers in the rear quickly filled their positions, and no one dared to retreat.
In a few moments, corpses were piled up in the corners.
One will be a success!
Zhang Ruo looked at all this indifferently and continued to command the Qin army to attack.
He didn't know how many times he had seen such a scene.
I've seen anything more tragic than this.
has long been trained to be hard-hearted.
Wang Yi moved the army in an orderly manner, and Zhang Ruo trusted him very much, and almost handed over the command of the battlefield to him.
And Wang Yu did not disappoint Zhang Ruo, whether it was his superb command ability or the strong blessing brought to the army, it greatly shortened the time to capture the royal city.
Rows of siege engines were ready, and large wooden stakes covered with raw cowhide marched towards the royal city, flanked by soldiers pushing through a canton.
The siege vehicles were bulky and stagnant when they encountered potholes, and there were people in front who specially cleaned up the corpses and filled in the ravines, and the defenders' attacks did not stop, and once someone fell, the people in the rear would quickly make up for it.
But as long as you can push it to the city gates, it's worth it.
Catapults and archers were also providing fire cover, and thanks to the generosity of the Korean army, the Qin army had not yet worried about bows and arrows.
Both sides are desperate, even South Korea.
Not to mention Sanchuan, which was occupied by the Qin State, Korea also knew that once the Western Zhou State was destroyed, it would be Korea's turn next.
The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad.
Even in the most declining period of Zhao and Wei, they could fight in the face of Qin, and South Korea was not even qualified to fight.
Today's Western Zhou Kingdom is tomorrow's Korea.
In fact, the Zhao army and the Wei army also had some real fire, which soldier in the two armies did not have relatives who died in the hands of the Qin army, even if it was the Qin army, there were many relatives who died in the hands of the three Jins.
The hatred of generations, coupled with the military exploits of Feng Wife Yinzi, seizing the opportunity is naturally to beat the other party to death.
Soon, Juan and Chen Zhuang were about to climb the city wall, and the two of them showed excitement in their eyes, as long as they could climb the city wall, even if they were repelled later, they would be able to obtain a military merit.
And if you can climb it once, you can board it a second time.
The moat has been filled, and the royal city can be said to have been half captured, and the rest is only a matter of time.
To be honest, this kind of guarded by multiple forces, there is no dirt, and it has exceeded expectations for such a long time.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of city does not need to be stormed, and the interior collapses on its own.
As a result, Qin Jun secretly contacted Sanjin and promised him benefits to secretly release water, but none of them agreed, which is not too unusual.
What he didn't know was that the Wei army and the Han army in the city, including the Western Zhou army, ate Zhao Guo's and used Zhao's, plus Zhao Jun's strength was the strongest, Han Wei naturally didn't dare to have other thoughts.
If the strength of the three kingdoms was about the same, no one could call the shots, and the royal city would have fallen into the hands of the Qin army long ago.
"Two people dare to rush up and seek death!" Storm Luan didn't expect Juan and Chen Zhuang to climb so fast, and hurriedly took out the big yellow bow from behind.
Among the two people, he only knew Juan, and he didn't know Chen Zhuang, so he didn't hesitate to shoot towards Juan.
The sharp sound of breaking wind came from his ears, and Wan was startled in his heart, and hurriedly dodged to dodge, but the space on the cloud ladder was limited, and under the suppression of the war clouds, he couldn't fly at all.
The angle of Storm Luan's arrow was extremely tricky, and even if he tried his best to dodge, he was still shot in the waist.
The tiger stared at Storm Luan fiercely, and Storm Luan instantly felt a fierce aura envelop him, and took a few steps back.
With his left hand, he grabbed the tail of the arrow, pulled it hard, dragged it down with a large piece of flesh, and then threw it fiercely towards the city, and the sharp arrow flew through the neck of one of the defenders.
If the average person did this, there was a high risk that they would have lost blood and died. But after all, Juan was a transcendental-level powerhouse, and the internal qi in his body quickly sealed the wound, and then, he jumped to the head of the city, brandishing a spear and killing Storm Luan.
Chen Zhuang benefited from Youjuan's firepower to attract Storm Luan, and after killing several defenders, he also successfully climbed the city wall.
"Kill!" The two glanced at each other, one left and one right, and went towards Storm Luan.
As for the transcendent realm bullying the Gangyuan realm, or two to one, it will be laughed at by the world, and the two of them said that they don't care.
What is needed on the battlefield is to bully the weak, and what you want is to fight more and fight less.
"The shield guards will resist with Ben, and the crossbowmen will shoot." Storm Luan said loudly, if there was no Zhanyun suppression, he would have fled as far as he met the two of them, but under the suppression of Zhanyun, the so-called transcendent was just a mortal.
The big knife was swung out hard, and the brilliant light blade slashed towards Juan, who blocked it casually, and Storm Luan suddenly felt a terrifying force coming from the hilt of the knife, and retreated a few steps again.
"Ants are ants, even with the help of War Cloud, they are still ants." Wan said disdainfully, wanting to chase after him and dispose of the storm luan, but layer after layer of Korean troops surrounded him, killing one after another.
Storm Kite Storm Luan's father and son have led the army for many years, although they have lost many victories, but they have tried their best to save the lives of the soldiers every time, and they have won the love of the soldiers, how can they watch the Storm Luan kill them.
Due to the special talent of the Han army, even Juan can't kill multiple Han soldiers at the same time, and the slightest distraction will be dodged by the Han army.
The crossbow bolts kept coming from behind, and although they failed to hit the two of them, they continued to consume their energy.
The Qin army on the ladder saw that Juan and Chen Zhuang had already climbed the city wall, and their morale was immediately high, and they desperately climbed up, and after a while, one after another Qin troops were killed.
The short soldiers intersected, and the Han army and the Western Zhou Jun were not opponents of the Qin army at all, and they were immediately defeated and retreated.
At this moment, Jia Yan led two thousand Zhao troops and two thousand Wei troops to rush over, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he quickly joined the battlefield.
Although Jia Yan is no longer a deputy general, in the entire Zhao army, except for Le Cheng, only he has the ability to lead so many large armies, and Le Cheng can only give him this task.
"The royal city has been broken, and your three Jin Dynasty are also considered to be benevolent and righteous, and if you don't withdraw your troops now, do you want to accompany the burial of the Western Zhou Kingdom?" Wan blocked Jia Yan's blow and asked in a deep voice.
He and Jia Yan's strength is almost the same, but he has been fighting for a long time, and he has injuries on his body, and he fell into the disadvantage as soon as he first met.
"General!" When Zhou Jiang heard this, he looked at Jia worriedly
Cease.
Juan is right, Sanjin has done his best.
The Western Zhou State did not pay anything except a few rewards to the soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty, and these rewards added up to less than one-tenth of the military supplies transported by the Zhao State.
Even if Sanjin retreats now, no one can say anything.
But Zhou Jiang still hoped that Sanjin could hold on for a while longer, even if it was only for a few days.
"I'll wait until you break through the royal city." Jia Yan brandished his spear and stabbed at Wan, the two spears collided, colliding with fierce sparks, the earth and stones on the city wall cracked, dust splashed, Wan fell backwards again, and a scale on the shoulder armor fell.
"Thank you, General Jia Yan, for your assistance." Storm Luan said excitedly.
"If General Mang Mao knew that you said this, he would definitely be very angry, there are still two thousand Wei troops here." Jia Yan replied with a smile, and at the same time, the spear was raised, and the tip of the spear grazed Wan's neck, leaving a bloody mark on it.
"It's a pity!" Jia Yan sighed, and he was just about to kill a Qin army general again.
"Hahaha, of course I know that there is also the help of General Mangmao. When this battle is over, the two generals and General Lecheng will be invited to drink." Storm Luan said.
"Okay, when the time comes, you will rest when you get drunk." Jia Yan said loudly.
"Since it's stubborn, then don't let any of you try to escape, let's go to the underworld and have another drink." Wan said sharply, mobilizing the internal qi of his whole body, and frantically attacked Jia Yan.
Jia Yan snorted coldly, no longer spoke, but secretly exerted force in his hands, he was a friend to Storm Luan, so he said so much, as for Juan, that sentence just now was too much.
Bang bang bang!
The violent collision sound continued to sound, the aura of heaven and earth was stirred, and cracks began to appear in the city wall under the huge blow, but fortunately, it was a solid wall of earth ramming, and no corners were cut.
In addition, the internal qi of the soldiers who have guarded the town for generations has subtly strengthened the city wall.
Jia Yan and Juan were suppressed by Zhanyun again, and they were unable to exert their full strength.
After all, the walls did not fall.
With the addition of 4,000 fresh troops, the tide of battle was reversed again, and the Qin army, which had just taken a place on the city wall, was hit head-on, and the fighting became less and less under the blows of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces.
Soon, only Juan and Chen Zhuang were still struggling to support.
Chen Zhuang's situation was better than Juan, but it was not much better, and there were countless Han soldiers killed by him, but he was also hit by two arrows.
He didn't have the courage to pull out the arrows, the arrows used by the Han army now were all transported from the Zhao State, with barbs, and pulling them out would inevitably bring out a lot of flesh and blood, not only the wound would expand, but also extremely painful.
He could only cut off the shaft of the arrow and continue to fight the South Korean army, and the arrow would be dealt with after he returned.
"Let's go!" With a sweep of his eyes, he knew that the Qin army had lost the opportunity to break the city this time, so he shouted at Chen Zhuang, turned around and jumped down the city.
"Fuck." Chen Zhuang scolded angrily, but Wan had already run away, and he couldn't support it alone, so he had to turn around and jump off the city wall.
Soon, the sound of gold sounded outside the city, and the Qin army began to slowly retreat.
"Dog, this group of Qin troops is so fierce that they were almost planted in their hands." Storm Luan looked at the almost completely shattered armor on his body, and said with palpitations.
Just now, he led the Han army to encircle and suppress the Qin army that had ascended the city, and as a result, there were twenty or thirty warriors from the Gangyuan Realm in this group of Qin troops, if it wasn't for him running fast...... Well, the main reason is that the Han army's life-saving ability is really strong, so he was hacked to death by the Qin army.
Even so, the armor that his father specially asked someone to create for him was completely scrapped, and he was slashed several times, but fortunately, the knife was not deep and the injury was not serious.
Later, with the help of Zhao Jun and Wei Jun, all this group of people was left, and it was considered to have cut off a piece of Qin Jun's flesh.
In any country, the master of Gangyuan Realm is not a cabbage.
"You Han Jun...... I really don't know what to say." Jia Yan looked at Storm Luan and shook his head helplessly.
You can't win a frontal battle, so what's the use of having a full life-saving ability.
Besides, if the enemy really wants to kill you, it is not impossible to do so, and they will surround you with several times the number of troops
Just come on.
At night, the moonlight shrouded the land, casting silence and tranquility on the violent earth during the day, and the Qin army outside the city had gradually fallen asleep, exhausted by the war during the day, but no one in the royal city could sleep peacefully.
The news of the Qin army's attack on the city today has spread all over the royal city, making the people in the royal city panic.
The nobles and tycoons were worried about whether they would be able to maintain their former glory and wealth after the city was broken, and whether they could pay back the money owed by the King of Zhou and the Duke of Western Zhou.
The civilians were worried about whether the Qin army would slaughter the city after breaking the city, even if they didn't, they heard that the Qin State paid extremely heavy taxes, how should they live in the future, and whether they would flee to other countries.
But the road is far away, and there are rogues everywhere, so how can they escape?
Sanjin also had a different idea.
"General, it's time for the soldiers to prepare for retreat." At night, Li Si found Lecheng and said in a deep voice.
"So fast?" Le Cheng said in surprise, this has been decided a long time ago, and he really has no idea of co-living and dying with Wang Cheng, but now it is too fast.
It's been less than a month since the Qin army really started attacking the city.
"The royal city is almost unfortunate." Li Si whispered.
"Impossible, the walls of the royal city are tall, the grain and grass are abundant, even if the Qin army attacks day and night, it is impossible to take it down without a month or two." Lecheng shook his head and said.
Don't look at the Qin army has climbed the city wall today, in fact, it is still early to take down the entire city.
