Chapter 663 The Qin-Han coalition army in the north of the city is now
In the empty sky, the autumn sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the few white clouds have been sunburned red, just like the rushing Cai Shui.
The sound of "plopping and plopping" diving continued, the sound of the "buzzing" bowstring trembling still resounded, and the blood slowly flowed into the river from the north bank of Cai Shui.
A full hour and a half had passed, and the Qin army had hundreds of thousands of troops that had not even been able to touch the walls of Xincai City.
On the entire surface of the Caishui River, there were only a few dozen ropes swinging alone in the breeze.
And for this, the Qin army has already paid for nearly two thousand lives.
However, in the face of such a predicament, General Wang Di, as the chief general of the Qin army, behaved very calmly, and could even be said to be very satisfied.
Because his desired goal has been achieved, from this rain of arrows, Wang Yi can already judge that the Chu army has concentrated most of its forces in the southern tower.
Then at this time, it is time for Chu Jun to understand what is called a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch is behind.
As General Wang Ji's order to "light the wolf smoke" was issued, three black thick wolf smoke immediately rose from the rear of the Qin army.
When the sun hung in the sky, the few remaining clouds were also dried up, and in the blue sky, these three wolf smoke were particularly conspicuous, and even if they were more than ten miles away, they could see the wolf smoke clearly.
"Soldiers! Rush with me!" A loud shout immediately roared out of the mountains and forests north of Xincai City at the same time as the billowing wolf smoke rose!
Immediately afterwards, three thousand Qin troops dressed in dark clothes and armor roared out of the mountains and forests. And behind them, tens of thousands of troops in green armor.
No need to ask, among the seven heroes of the Warring States, there are many people in blue clothes, and those in green armor are only the army of Han Zhiguo.
Yes, the Han army really followed the Qin army south, and this time it was almost a national army, and now there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Xinzheng.
And this Qin-Han coalition army actually arrived a day earlier than Wang Di.
Last night, they had been in ambush in the middle of the forest. It was precisely after receiving the news of the dispatch of the Korean army that Wang Yi decided to launch this campaign against Cai.
And all frontal attacks, including but not limited to the shooting of the arrow tower, swimming and so on, without exception, have only one purpose, that is, to attract all the troops of the Chu army to the south, so as to create conditions for the Qin-Han coalition army in ambush in the north.
Obviously, the soldiers of the Qin army carried out this decision well, and they successfully fished out the Chu army with their fearless sacrifices.
Although they didn't actually know their diving and charging, they weren't actually trying to break into Xincai City from the front.
As the wolf smoke rose, although the coalition forces in the north were already making moves, in order to continue to attract the attention of the Chu army, the Qin army at the south gate continued to march towards the north bank one after another.
With the fall of one Qin army soldier after another, the Chu cavalry in the city was finally ready again, just when the chief general of the Chu army was about to order the cavalry to attack again, the bad news finally reached the ears of the chief general of the Chu army - a large number of Qin troops appeared in the north of the city.
Suddenly, the mood of the chief general of the Chu army sank to the bottom with a sigh.
He knew very well that all the crossbowmen in the north had now been transferred to the south gate by himself, and he didn't even have foot soldiers, and once the Qin army attacked from the north, it would be impossible for the remaining more than 2,000 people at the north gate to hold the city gate.
Immediately, the commander of the Chu army issued another order, and all the reserves in the city turned to the north gate to reinforce, and the crossbowmen who were originally assigned to the north gate immediately withdrew from the battle and returned to the north gate.
It should be said that in the face of the sudden attack, the main general of the Chu army reacted faster than most generals, and his orders were also very decisive and correct.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the transfer of troops to reinforce is also the only thing that the chief general of the Chu army can do under the current situation.
It's a pity that the big mistake has already been made when he mobilized the crossbowmen from the north gate to reinforce the south gate, and now he wants to remedy it, which is obviously a little late.
Because he pulled
The actions of the soldiers and horses caused the officers and soldiers of the Chu army defending the north gate to relax their vigilance - the generals all withdrew their troops, and they must have judged that the enemy army could not appear in the direction of the north gate, and the soldiers of the Chu army guarding here were naturally happy.
Therefore, it was not until the soldiers of the Qin army had approached six or seven hundred meters before the city gate that the soldiers of the Chu army on the north tower discovered the appearance of the Qin army.
At the same time as hurriedly sending personnel to report to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army in charge of the north gate organized the defense.
And how could the Chu army, without the help of crossbow soldiers, be the opponent of the Qin army?
Almost when the Chu army finally finished arraying, the Qin army's bows and crossbows had already been struck.
The rain of arrows almost covered the entire city gate, and the Chu army, which was caught off guard, suffered a loss again.
Before the Chu army could adjust, a cloud ladder appeared in the field of vision of the Chu army soldiers again.
Seeing that the cloud ladder in the hands of the Qin army had been quietly erected, the Chu army had no way at all except to clumsily push it away with the spear, but the spear had just been shot, and the crossbow arrows of the Qin army had already appeared in front of the soldiers of the Chu army.
It didn't take much time, and one end of the ladder was already stuck on top of the tower. Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the Qin army had already appeared on the city tower with their long swords.
Until this time, the reinforcements led by the chief general of the Chu army had not yet arrived at the North Gate Tower.
The next thing was very simple, the Qin army quickly attacked the city tower through the ladder, and then formed a military formation to expand the area under their control step by step, and continued to advance in the direction of the stairs.
Although these Qin troops are not elite, they are still holding a handle on these almost defenseless Chu troops.
After a short period of time, the Qin army soon occupied a staircase, and then the army formation stopped expanding, and more Qin troops began to assemble under the city tower through the staircase.
Clearly, their target was the city gate to the north. Only when the gates are opened can more troops enter the city at a smaller cost.
And when the main general of the Chu army arrived, although the city gate was still in the hands of the Chu army and had not yet been opened, the Qin army had already entered the city gate cave, and the Chu army in the cave was also rapidly decreasing.
Without the slightest hesitation, the commander of the Chu army decisively ordered the Chu army who rushed from the city not to go to the city, and immediately went to rescue the city gate.
It's a pity that the Qin army has obviously realized this a long time ago, and the few shields were all concentrated outside the city gate cave, and dozens of Qin army soldiers guarded the passage to the city gate cave to the death.
And the Qin army on the top of the city tower is also constantly transporting troops in the direction of the city gate.
For a while, the two armies of Qin and Chu were deadlocked at the entrance of the city gate.
It's just that the situation at the entrance of the cave is deadlocked, and the situation in the city gate cave is gradually tilting in the direction of the Qin army.
Seeing this, the chief general of the Chu army didn't care about more, and personally brandished his sword, and rushed to the Qin army in front of him with his own soldiers. His goal was not to directly attack the city gate, but to continuously descend the staircase passage.
If he came from the city tower for reinforcements, if he wanted to run to the entrance of the city gate, he could not delay the time.
Obviously, these two instructions of the chief general of the Chu army are still very decisive and correct: the Qin army in the city to solve the city gate, and the Qin army on the city tower to solve the Qin army on the city tower, there is nothing wrong with the division of labor.
Even, he himself personally participated in the battle, and his attack was not a show, almost in the shortest time to defeat the Qin army, cutting off the Qin army's downward channel to send troops.
It's just that he obviously forgot that behind him, there were crossbowmen who stepped forward, and the troops reinforced from the city were most lacking, which were crossbowmen.
Whether there are crossbowmen or not, in this face-to-face fierce battle, it is almost a world of difference.
Therefore, although he was able to force the Qin army back quickly, the Chu army under the city tower was still unable to move forward.
The commander of the Chu army, who finally found out where the problem was, hurriedly wanted to transfer the crossbowmen behind him to the city gate, but when the chief general went downstairs, the tooth-wrenching voice of "squeak" hit his eardrums.
That voice was all too familiar to all the Chu troops, it was when the door of "old age" was opened
The reluctant movement of the heart was also the last warning issued by the gate to the Chu army.
Listening to this voice, the main general of the Chu army immediately felt that something was wrong!
Sure enough, with this "squeak" sound, there was a warm cheer outside the city tower.
Taking a deep breath, the chief general of the Chu army still did not give up, although there was still a distance from downstairs, the chief general of the Chu army couldn't care so much, and jumped down the two-story stairs with a turnover.
Sure enough, the city gate had been moved by the Qin army and a big gap had been opened.
"Kill!" Without hesitation, the main general of the Chu army immediately waved the sword in his hand, and led the Chu army under the city gate to kill the Qin army again.
Xu is mood is relaxed when he sees that the city gate has been opened, or maybe the sword of the main general of the Chu army is too sharp, and the originally strict front of the Qin army has really been broken through under the lead of the main general of the Chu army.
However, the Qin army is the Qin army in the end.
Almost instantly, several old men with shields stared at the chief general of the Chu army who was wearing fine armor.
However, the veteran of the Qin army, who knew that his opponent was not a general, did not have the idea of fighting hard with the main general of the Chu army, but only relied on the shield and tacit cooperation with each other to restrain the main general of the Chu army.
Although it was inevitable that several Chu troops would rush through the defense line, it was obvious that as long as the Chu army commander did not rush through the defense line, everything would not be a big problem.
Sure enough, several Chu troops who had just rushed through the defense line failed to even form an effective military formation, and were defeated by the Qin army in the city gate cave.
At this time, the belated Qin army's crossbowmen finally arrived, and although there was no order, the Chu army's bows and crossbows were fired almost immediately.
And with the rain of arrows coming, the Qin army's front was finally broken through again.
This time, although more Chu troops rushed into the city gate cave, they still failed to fight the Qin army in the city gate cave.
In this way, although the defense line of the Qin army outside the city gate cave was crumbling, it was always broken and undefeated, and it almost trembled and withstood the impact of the Chu army over and over again.
The cliffs and reefs will still be washed and corroded by the sea, let alone the Qin army.
Even if the Qin army was unwilling, with the arrival of the crossbowmen, the Qin army guarding the entrance of the city gate gradually became thinner.
It's a pity that at the same time, the gate, which originally had only one gap, was also slowly opened by the soldiers of the Qin army in the torment.
Seeing that the light in the city gate cave was getting bigger and bigger, the mood of all the soldiers of the Chu army fell to the bottom.
One, two, three......
In the gap where there were just enough people to shuttle over, the figure of the Xuanxi Qin Army soon appeared.
As more and more Qin troops poured into the doorway, everyone understood that there was no way to return to heaven......
