Chapter 49: The Siege
Among the army of Qin.
Jue, Yu Sui and the others stood in the phalanx, surrounded by a famous Qin soldier.
"You say, in that phalanx?"
Zhuang Jing turned his head to look at Liang Lang and the others and asked.
"I don't know."
Yu Sui stood on tiptoe, looked around, and found that he couldn't see anything else except for the countless Changge and Qin Qi in front of him.
"It should be in a phalanx near us."
Liang Lang said.
The words just fell, and seeing the phalanx generals in the distance looking over, Liang Lang hurriedly shut up.
Yu Sui and Zhuang Jing also hurriedly stood up straight.
Knock knock knock ~ !!
Accompanied by the sound of drums.
Yu Sui and the others listened to the sound of war drums, and they felt that their hearts were about to jump out. Looking at the city in the distance, several of them knew the meaning of the beating of the drums.
It's time to prepare for the siege!
Thinking of this, Yu Sui and the others, who participated in the war for the first time, held their breath and felt uncontrollable tension.
The front of the army.
Bai Yan also heard the war drums sounding at this moment.
Bai Yan naturally understood the meaning of this, and glanced at the vast Qin army behind him, and then a 'guard' recruited from the front had already finished the ladders used for siege.
Bai Yan counted it, a total of thirty.
Seeing such a number of cloud ladders, Bai Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the huge city in the distance.
The more siege ladders, the safer they are.
A general with hundreds of guards quickly carried buckets of muddy water and ran to the ladder.
"Hurry, hurry!!"
At the urging of the generals, a 'guard' spilled buckets of muddy water in his hands on the ladder and the wooden frame.
When Bai Yan saw this scene, he knew that the muddy water was used to prevent the ladder from being burned by the enemy army before it could get close to the city wall.
A moment later.
Bai Yan soon heard that among the Qin army behind him, the sound of war drums became more and more urgent, and the drums became louder and louder.
Apparently several more war drums were beating.
Knock knock knock~!!!
Bai Yan listened to the increasingly rapid drumming in his ears, his breathing was also a little short, and he looked at the city tower in the distance, feeling that his heart was beating fast.
He knows. The more and more drums are beating, it means that the city is ready to be attacked.
Remembering General Yu's previous instructions, Bai Yan distanced himself from the other Xiandeng soldiers to ensure that they would not be squeezed in.
A general, standing in front of Bai Yan and the others at this time, listened to the sound of drums, looked up at the army of the Qin State, and seemed to be waiting for something.
After a while, a herald with a command flag in the distance rode a horse and hurried here.
"The general has an order. Besiege! ”
With the herald's words.
Bai Yan looked at the city wall in the distance, listened to the words of the herald, couldn't help but feel nervous, and clenched the Qin Sword in his hand.
"Let's go!!"
The general turned his head and shouted at Bai Yan and the others.
Bai Yan listened to the general's order, looked at the towering city tower in the distance, and took the lead in running towards the cloud ladder.
Knock knock knock!!
The sound of drums filled my ears. Bai Yan took the Qin sword and quickly ran behind a cloud ladder in the middle among the thousands of Xiandeng soldiers.
Next to the ladder.
A general pulled out his Qin sword and shouted.
"Push!!"
With the words of the general.
In an instant, countless soldiers of the Qin State who were standing next to the ladder began to push the ladder towards the city tower.
Bai Yan also followed and pushed the cloud ladder together.
Behind Bai Yan, among the Qin army, the bow and crossbow phalanx and the foot pawn phalanx also gradually walked towards the city wall.
On the wilderness outside the city of Yang.
Bai Yan pushed the ladder behind him, and through the gap in the ladder, he watched the city wall in the distance get closer and closer.
Ten steps, fifty steps, one hundred steps......
As the distance from the city wall became closer and closer, the figures on the city wall became clearer and clearer.
At a distance of four hundred paces.
Suddenly, Bai Yan saw countless black shadows flashing on the city wall, remembered General Yu's words, and hurriedly put his body on the wooden board of the cloud ladder.
The next moment.
Bai Yan saw that thousands of arrows fell like rain almost instantly.
"Ahh
"Ah~ save me!"
Screams kept coming, and countless soldiers fell to the ground in the rain of arrows.
Bai Yan continued to walk while pushing the ladder, while looking at the soldiers who were falling and wailing, looking at those soldiers whose faces were pale, their eyes were full of despair, and they all had one or two arrows stuck in their bodies.
Bai Yan knew what it meant to fall to the ground in the middle of the battlefield.
But at the moment, no one dares to save the enemy in the rain of arrows.
As the cloud ladder got closer and closer to the city tower, there was an endless stream of arrows shot from the city tower, and one arrow after another flew around Bai Yan, and then inserted into the ground.
The cloud ladder in front of Bai Yan's front was filled with dense arrows.
Some arrows with fire also began to appear at this time. When those fiery arrows are stuck in the ladder, it is not the ladder that burns first, but the arrows that are stuck in the ladder.
Not far behind Bai Yan, thousands of soldiers of the Qin State, under the orders of the generals, also raised their bows and crossbows one after another and fought back against the Korean soldiers on the city tower.
Woohoo~!
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at the tower.
If the goal of the Han pawn on the city tower is to destroy the cloud ladder and the ruling, then in addition to shooting the Han pawn on the city tower, the Qin State soldier is more important to cover the cloud ladder close to the city tower.
And the Qin soldiers who were armed with bows and crossbows, although they all stopped firing arrows. But the foot soldiers still followed Bai Yan and the others and walked towards the city tower.
The thousands of foot soldiers, when they rushed up to the tower, would follow. And if the first soldiers who snatched the 'first to take the first place' are all killed, as long as the drums of the retreating troops do not sound, they will also attack the city.
However, compared to those soldiers who compete for the 'first achievement', these foot soldiers are undoubtedly much less dangerous.
After all, they are not the main target of the enemy army, and even if they climb the city later, either the first soldiers have already fought on it, or the first soldiers have already died, and the enemy troops on the city tower are far less fierce than they were at the beginning.
Either way, it's good for them.
And if it's the latter, they might be able to pick up a bargain, in case they can pick up a 'first to get the first gong'.
Long.
The ladder with flames finally came to the castle tower under the rain of arrows.
Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he also understood.
The most difficult and dangerous siege is not the rain of arrows, but the danger of climbing the ladder and the countless enemy soldiers you have to face after climbing the tower.
"Siege!"
The general ordered.
Bai Yan took the Qin Sword and came to the cloud ladder.
Because there is only one first. Everything else is secondary.
Therefore, before Bai Yan, there were already countless soldiers who climbed up the ladder. They all want to be the first to rush to the castle tower.
Bang~!
With a loud noise, Bai Yan soon saw a wooden board full of sword blades falling from it.
Along with it, there were also the soldiers who had climbed up before, who were also lying on the side of the ladder full of pain at the moment, covered in blood.
"Ahh
Bai Yan was looking at the soldier when he suddenly heard a terrible scream, and before he could raise his head, he felt something small fall on his neck.
Bai Yan felt a tingling pain in his neck, gritted his teeth, didn't snort, and didn't dare to raise his head.
These are all fine sand that has been burned, and once these fine sand fall into the eye, let alone what will happen in the future, even in this battlefield in front of you, blindness is almost equivalent to losing your life.
Listening to the screams of the soldier who climbed the ladder, Bai Yan then saw that the soldier fell directly onto the ladder.
Bai Yan was a little glad that he didn't let Liang Lang and the others come, this siege is simply playing with life, the kind of life that kills nine deaths.
Now.
As it got longer and longer, I looked at the people in front of me.
Bai Yan was vaguely worried, even a little anxious.
There is only one person who has made the first contribution, and these more than 20 ladders are stuck together, and sooner or later someone will rush up.
"Up!"
After waiting for a long time, I finally heard the general ask him to go up.
When Bai Yan heard the general's words, he pulled out the Qin Sword in his hand and climbed towards the cloud ladder.
