From a tactical point of view, the Qin army's surprise attack was already at its peak.

If it was earlier, the sky would be dark, and the flames on the Jiepai Ridge would be enough to illuminate hundreds of steps below the ridge, and the Qin army would not be able to sneak in at all; If it was any later, the rising sun would quickly dry the thin mist.

It can be said that Wang Di has grasped the timing of the attack just right, and the Qin army has not revealed his hide, so it is expected that the Zhao army in the Jiepai Ridge does not know that the army of the Qin State is now coming straight towards him.

Therefore, the raid can be described as extremely sudden and confusing. There is even a great probability of success.

It's a pity that Tian Dan, who calculated that the Qin army was going to try to break through, warned the generals in time to cover the pockets on all sides, and thousands of scouts were scattered, and they also successfully investigated the Qin army's self-proclaimed hidden march clearly. As a result, not only Jiepailing, but also the other three Zhao armies were all ready to be raided by the Qin army.

Because of this, the suddenness of the Qin army's surprise attack was greatly reduced.

Without the sudden surprise attack, coupled with a meticulous Zhou Qi, failure would have become inevitable.

Of course, Zhou Qi's decisive attack is really a bit risky, just by virtue of a touch of red and a little black in front of him, he ordered the whole army to go to the city to engage in battle, if the Qin army did not act, it would be a trivial matter to affect morale, and it would be a big problem to become a "wolf coming" story.

Fortunately, the Qin army is under the city tower!

Seeing that the Zhao army on the top of the city tower had already set up a formation, it was obvious that the Qin army's surprise attack had failed, and it stands to reason that the Qin army should retreat immediately to reduce casualties, but Wang Yu did not withdraw his troops, but instead ordered: "Beat the drum! Onslaught."

That's right, Wang Ji continued to order a strong attack when it was extremely unfavorable to himself.

You must know that the tens of thousands of elite Qin troops under the Jiepai Ridge now, for the sake of the secrecy of their actions, they hardly have any siege equipment to assist, and the long cloud ladder is the only prop they can reach the Zhao army.

However, without the suppression of the archers of the Zhao army on the tower, what heavy price would the Qin army have to pay to get close to the city wall, and how many lives would it have to cost to stand on the top of the city?

Even though, at the same time as the war drums sounded, the arrow tower had been pushed out, and then a series of siege equipment such as rushing cars and stone throwing vehicles also came out.

But apparently, their arrival will take time. And during this time, it will be necessary to fill the lives of the Qin army on the front line.

It's not that Wang Di doesn't want to retreat, but Wang Di still has a trace of undeserved illusions, fantasizing that the Zhao army above the city tower is not strong enough and he can attack it by force.

With this in mind, if the army on the front line is withdrawn and then advanced together with the engineering equipment, I am afraid that the actual losses may be even greater between this retreat and the advance, and it is better to launch an attack on Jiepai Ridge immediately.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Wang Di's tactics. It's a pity that his fantasy shouldn't have been there from the beginning, or rather, from the uniform arrow rain attack of the Zhao army, Wang Yi should have realized that the Zhao army above the city tower was by no means an ordinary person.

It's just that if there is no such struggle, will there be other voices in the army?

Whenever a desperate situation comes, the most terrible thing is not external pressure, but internal discord. And "the strongest fortress always begins to collapse from within", although Wang Di has not heard of it, it is obvious that both Bai Qi and Wang Yi know the meaning very well.

Instead of blood to block the storming road, more blood will be needed to plug the hole inside.

Therefore, it is inevitable to continue the attack!

It's just that the soldiers of the Qin army under the Jiepai Ridge suffered.

The horn of the rear formation gradually sounded, accompanied by another rain of arrows from the Zhao army, and there was another bloody storm in the Qin array.

Qin Jun, who received the signal, no longer remained silent, untied the shackles in his mouth, and shouted one after another to vent the anger in his heart, and even completely blew away the thin layer of mist, and Zhao Jun on top of the city tower found that the original Qin Jun had almost been attached to his nose.

Without any hesitation, the command banner of the captain of the archer was once again under his command, and the nearly 3,000 archers who had all been arrayed on the castle tower fired a volley again.

An even larger dark cloud immediately condensed above the head of the Qin army, and then smashed into it violently, not giving the Qin army any chance to react at all. In order to ensure quietness, the poor elite Qin army only has a small shield in his hand to defend himself, and in the face of the almost overwhelming rain of arrows from the Zhao army, where can this small shield be prevented?

Even if the archers in the Qin army wanted to fight back, they could not defeat the almost dangerous height difference in the Boundary Pai Ridge. There is a saying that "fight high and low, fight S.B", and this is especially true on the battlefield at this time.

The Zhao army standing on the top of the city tower even only needs to shoot the arrow, and with the blessing of its own gravity, it is already a fast arrow when it arrives in front of the Qin soldiers, but what about the Qin army under the city tower? If the strength is a little weaker, the arrow can't even be sent to the tower, and if the strength is a little stronger, even if the arrow is sent up, its speed is reduced by eighty percent due to gravity.

There is neither the coverage of the rain of arrows, nor the speed of sharp arrows, and its lethality can be imagined.

But there was no way, the arrow tower did not arrive, and the battle had to continue.

The archers of the Qin army could only try to fill their longbows in their hands, and did their best to provide even insignificant suppression and cover for their comrades who climbed the ladder.

The foot soldiers of the Qin army, who were not covered by archers, were like targets one by one in front of the condescending Zhao army. It can be said that every step of the Qin army's advance is soaked in the blood of his comrades.

But even so, the Qin army was still fearless.

Taking over the will of his comrades and carrying the hope of the soldiers, the long ladder finally caught up on the tower of Zhao Jun. Without the slightest hesitation, a group of Qin soldiers had already rushed up to the top of the cloud ladder.

However, war has its own rules, and it does not favor one side because of the fearlessness of one side.

Although the Qin army, with a fearless spirit of sacrifice, launched a fierce attack on the Jiepai Ridge, where the Zhao army was located. But with little effect, the Zhao army, which was not suppressed by the archers, could arbitrarily poke out its head and kill the Qin army on the cloud ladder, and the Qin army who climbed the cloud ladder not only had to try to maintain balance, but also carefully dodged the long knives and arrows of the Zhao army.

Comparing the two, the battle situation is self-evident.

The Zhao army on the top of the city tower didn't even need to spend too much rolling wood and stone, and the boiling gold juice was not even sprinkled, just by relying on the long knife in his hand and the crossbowmen behind him, the Qin army in more than a dozen places had been driven down by the Zhao army.

And from the sneak attack to the current strong bow, the losses of the Qin army have reached thousands of terrifying figures, but they have not even been able to touch the head of the Jiepai Ridge.

How can it not be frustrating?!

Fortunately......
