Chapter 727: Xianyang City is broken
"Retreated, Sanjin retreated!"
Seeing the departure of the Han and Wei armies outside the city, earth-shattering cheers erupted in Xianyang City, and even Qin Wangzhu lost his former composure and walked back and forth on the city wall excitedly.
But soon, everyone couldn't be happy.
"King, it seems that only the Wei army and the Han army have retreated, and the Zhao army and the Qi army are still there." Yang Quanjun pointed to the banner of Zhao Jun outside the city and said with some doubts.
"Maybe the Zhao army and the Qi army will not withdraw until tomorrow, after all, hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible to evacuate at the same time, they must be divided into orders." Fan Ju said with relief.
Everyone nodded, but the smiles on their faces faded.
"King, let's go back to the palace first." Yang Quanjun persuaded.
Qin Wangzhu took one last look at the outside of the city, turned around and walked towards the palace.
In the next few days, Qin Wangzhu would go to the city every day to check if the Zhao army had withdrawn, but the results always disappointed him.
"What is the state of Chu doing! Immediately send a message to Shaofu and ask him to question the State of Chu." Qin Wangzhu roared angrily, Qin State paid such a big price just to make Zhao State retreat.
Now that Han Wei has withdrawn from the army, Zhao Guo has a fart if he does not retreat.
In the current situation of the Qin State, is it the opponent of more than 200,000 Zhao troops outside the city?
"I'm afraid the state of Chu didn't expect this to happen." Fan Ju said in a deep voice, under normal circumstances, Han Wei has withdrawn, and Zhao will also retreat, but Zhao Kuo seems to have an enmity with Qin, and he will not give up if he does not destroy Qin.
And Chu and Zhao are not bordering, if Wei does not borrow the road, Chu will not be able to threaten Zhao at all, and if you want to save Qin, you can only trek through mountains and rivers to enter Guanzhong from Wuguan Road.
But Wuguandao had already fallen into the hands of the Sanjin and was garrisoned by a large army, and it was almost impossible for the Chu State to capture it.
In the following period, the Zhao army did not storm Xianyang, but only led Jing to flood the city, and ordered the shooting battalion to constantly shoot arrows into the city to persuade the people in the city to surrender.
Zhao Kuo is waiting for the opportunity.
In June, the rain in Guanzhong began to increase, and the flow of Jingshui increased significantly, and it almost did not pass the city wall several times.
In early July, it rained heavily for five days in Guanzhong, and the water level of Weishui had already submerged the riverbed and spread to both sides. Xianyang was in danger under the impact of the floods.
Qin Wangzhu personally braved the rain to climb the top of the city, leading all the men in the city to strengthen and raise the city wall, but he still couldn't avoid the situation that every household was flooded.
The water from outside could not come in, but the water from the city could not be drained out either, and even the palace was flooded.
On the sixth day, the rain stopped.
Le Yi stood on the chariot and looked at Xianyang in the distance, rows of sharpened wood hitting the city wall under the impetus of the flood, Xianyang was like an island in the vast ocean, which could be submerged by the stormy waves at any time.
"Your Majesty, it's time." Le Yi said softly.
"Order, attack Xianyang, the first to ascend to the marquis, or be promoted to a knighthood, a thousand gold." Zhao Kuo drew his sword and swung it forward.
Suddenly, the wind surged!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The heavy war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the Zhao army adopted the tactic of encircling three and missing one, and attacked Xianyang from the south, east and west at the same time.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of bed crossbows of the Zhao army were spread out in a row, and the crossbow arrows with the thickness of the child's arm shot towards the city as if they didn't need money, and the icy cold light pierced the sky and shot into the enemy's body.
Suddenly, bright red flowers bloomed at the head of the city.
At the same time, the Shooting Sound Battalion also launched indiscriminate shooting.
With the blessing of Yan Zhou's talent, as long as Qin Jun dared to take the lead, he would be immediately shot into a sieve.
Soon, the catapults were pushed up from the rear, and in order to prevent the catapults from getting stuck in the mud, Zhao Jun laid several layers of thick wooden planks on the ground to support the catapults.
Huge boulders were transported from behind, and the catapult threw them onto the city with a flick of its arm.
Zhao Fei cavalry, the Great Wall Army and other cavalry also
Not idle, they could not storm the city, but they could shoot arrows.
All in all, the all-round firepower suppression made the Qin army not even dare to take the head!
Xianyang has been soaked in the water for more than a month, and it has been seriously damaged, but now under the continuous bombardment of catapults, some places finally can't hold on and collapse.
The flood poured in from the collapsed place, and the sharp trees pierced through the Qin army that rushed over to surround it, and the blood stained the flood red.
"Kill!"
Lian Po took the lead and led the Xuanjia army to kill Xianyang.
The equipment of the Xuanjia Army has been sent from Shencheng, but the Xuanjia Army has not worn it, their equipment is too heavy, and if they wear it, they will not be able to take a boat, and they may fall into the mud during the battle.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows!" Qin Wangzhu hid behind the female wall, his face turned red, and he yelled frantically.
"The King...... The archers of the Zhao army are too strong, and as long as our army takes the lead, they will be shot by the Zhao army." Wang Jian was ashamed, he had tried his best, but Zhao Jun's strength was too strong.
Although the Qin State requisitioned tens of thousands of soldiers in Xianyang City, most of them were teenagers, or old people over forty-five years old, and less than half of them were young and strong, where were the opponents of the more than 200,000 well-trained Zhao troops.
"What now?" Qin Wangzhu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.
"Wait for the Zhao army to get close to the city wall before fighting, and when the time comes, the Zhao army will stop shooting in order to prevent shooting and injuring his own people. At the same time, our army has the city wall to rely on, and it can compete with the Zhao army." Wang Jian said.
"The widow believes in the general, and the general does what he thinks." Qin Wangzhu patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said solemnly.
"The last general will certainly live up to the king's high hopes." Wang Jian clenched his fists and said.
The flood was still raging, and even though the Qin army raised the city wall many times, it still could not avoid the flood not exceeding the city wall.
"Let's all die!" Lian Po shouted, swept the halberd in his hand, and more than ten Qin soldiers in front of him were shot out.
A thousand-man general led an army to resist, but he didn't even survive a round before he was beheaded by Lian Po.
"Gotta get to the city as soon as possible!" Lian Po looked around, and although the Zhao army was in the upper hand, it did not crush the Qin army.
The reason for this is that the Qin army is standing on the city wall, while the Zhao army is standing on the ship, the foundation is unstable, and the Zhao army is all northerners, and without experience in this area, they cannot exert their full combat effectiveness.
"Don't keep your hands on it, go all out to the city!" Lian Po roared, cut the Qin army in front of him in half, and crossed to the city wall, his eyes shone with excitement, he was the first to enter the city, as long as he could stabilize it, he would be able to be promoted to the third level, and there was a thousand gold.
Although a thousand gold is a lot, he doesn't care about it yet, but he can't hold it back when he is promoted to the first level, and he also killed Bai Qi, although he killed it with Wei Wuji and others, but he can also share a lot of credit.
He was originally a county marquis, and after this battle, he could at least be crowned a county duke, and possibly even a county duke.
However, Lian Po, the fief of a county, only dared to think about it, and he didn't think that Zhao Kuo would really give it to him, but even if it was a false seal, it was a supreme honor.
"Hahaha!" Lian Po laughed, and even the closeness in front of him became a little cute, and the black light bloomed from the halberd, crushing all the Qin troops who rushed over into powder.
Almost all of the transcendent realms of the Qin State died on the battlefield, and ordinary generals were not Lian Po's opponents at all, if they were lucky, they could hold out twice, and if they were unlucky, they couldn't even hold it for a while, and they were bombarded into a blood mist.
The Xuanjia army followed behind Lian Po, quickly climbed the city wall, formed a formation with Lian Po as the center, and killed in front to make room for the Zhao army that landed in the city later.
While!
At this time, Wang Jian appeared in front of Lian Po, wielding his sword to block Lian Po's attack, and at the same time, the Qin army led by him also rushed towards the black armor army behind Lian Po.
"The only one who can handle the Qin State now is you, I don't know if you will block me, who will block the other battlefields?" Lian Po chuckled, and the halberd in his hand waved one after another, bringing bursts of wind to the sound of breaking wind, which shocked Wang Jian to the point of turning red.
"This doesn't bother the general, I have been in the Qin State for hundreds of years, and there are many talents
Still, she is just an insignificant member." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"All over the body, only the mouth is hard. I don't know if anyone in the Qin Kingdom will stand up after killing you." Lian Po said coldly, suddenly increasing his strength, and the black internal qi continued to pour out from his body, connecting with the surrounding Xuanjia Army as a whole, and every time he attacked, Wang Jian was knocked back a few steps.
Although the soldiers under Wang Jian were selected from tens of thousands of young people, after only one or two months of training, they were far from being able to compare with the Xuanjia Army, especially when they attacked the Xuanjia Army, they would also be counterattacked, and they would be even more restrained, and they did not dare to go all out.
On the other side, Pang Xuan and Meng Wei also led the Zhao army to attack Xianyang from the east and west of the city.
The frontal battlefield is still barely supported by Wang Qian, although the level of the generals in the east and west of the city is also okay, but compared with Pang Xuan and Meng Wei, it is far behind, whether it is personal force or command ability, it cannot be compared, and the quality of the soldiers under his command was thrown out of a few streets by Zhao Jun.
"The king is watching us from behind, brothers, kill!"
Pang Xuan roared angrily with one hand, and the Zhao army burst out with endless energy, like a flood that burst the embankment, rushing towards the Qin army.
At the same time, Pang Xuan opened his talent to bless the army under his command, and the strength of the Zhao army rose again, jumped up from the warship, landed on the city wall, and fought with the Qin army.
Pang Xuan rushed to the front, cut the unknown chief general of the Qin army in half, and led the army under his command to rush to the front.
At the same time, Li Mu, Jia Yan, He Zongjun, Yan Xiong, Tou Man, Qing She, Sima Shang, Li Tong, Zhu Hai...... Zhao Guo did not have any reservations, and almost all the generals of the Transcendent Realm led a large army to attack Xianyang. ap..
In this battle, if Xianyang is not taken, Zhao will never retreat!
For a time, there was an emergency everywhere in the city, almost all the areas asked for support, Fan Ju continued to send legions, and in the end, even the reserve corps could only be sent, and at the same time began to recruit strong women to participate in the defense of the city.
"Say, Where is your king?" Li Mu climbed to the top of the city, grabbed a Qin soldier and asked, seeing that the other party did not answer, with a little force, only to hear a 'click', and the Qin soldier's neck was broken.
Li Mu strode towards the city to kill, and every time he killed a certain distance, he asked Qin Wangzhu where he was.
"We don't know where the king is!" Finally, Qin Jun couldn't help it anymore and said in a collapsed voice.
"Xianyang City has been broken, surrender and don't kill! If you continue to resist stubbornly......" Before Li Mu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Qin army.
"We surrender, as long as you don't kill me, we surrender." Qin Jun hurriedly said.
They are just ordinary people, forced to levy to defend the city, where have you ever seen such a scene, it is a flood, and an overwhelming array of bows and arrows and catapults, and hundreds of thousands of troops, where can they stop it.
Don't say that they are the nobles in Xianyang City, and there are not a few people who secretly contacted Zhao Jun during this time.
"General, are we going to chase the King of Qin, or are we going to ......" Sima Shang looked at Li Mu.
"Surround the palace first." Li Mu said.
"I can't fight anymore." Wang Jian looked at the Qin troops around him who were constantly dying in battle, as well as the bad news that kept coming, and he couldn't help but feel a little called in his heart.
If it goes on like this, even if he can stop Lian Po, the Qin army under his command can't stop the Xuanjia army.
The talent of the Xuanjia Army is too disgusting, more disgusting than the Army Soul Legion.
In other battlefields, the Qin army could not stop the Zhao army.
No one knows the current situation of the Qin army better than Wang Qian, except for him, there is not a single transcendent realm general in the entire Xianyang, and even the guards around Qin Wangzhu are only in the Gangyuan realm.
While!
Wang Jian blocked Lian Po's blow again, took advantage of the situation and flew out, without saying a word, and led Qin *** to escape.
"General!" The deputy general of the Xuanjia Army looked at Lian Po.
"Not chasing." Lian Po shook his head, the legs of the Xuanjia army were too short, and there were all Qin troops around, even if they chased him, it was impossible to kill Wang Qian.
"King, the Zhao army has entered the city, and it is too late, and the last general will escort you out of Xianyang." Wang Jian got rid of Lian Po, led more than a thousand remnants of the army to retreat to Qin Wangzhu's side, and said urgently.
"This
It's only been two hours, how could the Zhao army break through Xianyang City so quickly?" Qin Wangzhu asked in a deep voice.
"Great King, one or twenty Transcendent Realm generals of the Zhao Army are attacking the city at the same time, and our army is ...... Our army really can't stop it." Wang Jian said sadly.
Those famous generals of the Zhao army, each of them is not weaker than him, one he can barely resist, and two he can also rely on the city wall to compete, but Nima comes with one or twenty, even if he is an immortal, he can't bear it!
Xianyang has been surrounded for such a long time, the city has long been a vast ocean, not to mention the residences of ordinary people, even the palace is soaked in water, and it is summer, the climate is hot, many people began to get sick, no strength.
The morale of the soldiers was also low, and they had no fighting spirit.
Previously, the Zhao army had not launched a general attack, and the Qin army could barely resist, but now that the Zhao army had no reservations and attacked in an all-out way, the Qin army could not hold it in an instant.
"There are Zhao troops all around, where do we retreat?" Qin Wangzhu turned over and got on his horse, and asked while running away with Wang Qian.
Mrs. Huayang and Zichu followed Qin Wangzhu's side, and as for the other wives and sons, Qin Wangzhu couldn't take care of them, so they could only run away and settle their own destiny.
"Flee north!" Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"The Flood...... Didn't you just rush from the north?" Qin Wangzhu said urgently, as soon as the heavy rain in Guanzhong stopped, the amount of water in Jingshui increased significantly, and the canal dug by Zhao Jun continued to rush to Xianyang.
When they fled north, they were going against the flood.
"Don't worry, the king, I'm here." Wang Jian said approvingly, as a military general of the Transcendent Realm, he has this confidence.
In addition, the Qin army had no other choice, only the north of the city did not have the Zhao army.
The Zhao army is more dangerous than the flood.
