Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Pride of the Forest
The addition of 100,000 Mengjia troops suddenly broke the balance of the battlefield, originally the Qi army occupied the geographical advantage and the number of people and finally maintained the battlefield in a balance, but the addition of Meng Tian's 100,000 Qin army warriors completely crushed the advantage of the Qi army, only to see that the Qin army warriors were not afraid of death, and they didn't care at all, just rushed forward, among which 400 Qin army warriors rushed to the front with backpacks on their backs, and the task of these 400 people was to blast the city gate, and the troops who rushed to the front of the army formation and the troops behind them were more than 100 meters away, which was particularly conspicuous.
Lin Li stood on the city wall and looked at the four hundred Qin troops, looking at their equipment, it was obvious that there was a very obvious difference between the equipment of the Qin army behind them, these four hundred Qin troops did not have the Qin army's most common Ge, Qin swords, crossbow arrows, none of these, only a dagger on his waist and a huge backpack behind him.
Although Lin Li didn't know what this force was for, he knew that this force must be defeated first, and it must not be allowed to get close to the city wall.
Lin Li immediately ordered: "Quick, the archers aim at the group that is rushing to the front, yes, it's them, quickly stop them for me." ”
With Lin Li's order, countless archers suddenly shot towards the four hundred people, but what made Lin Ran desperate was that the archers couldn't hurt these four hundred people at all, and the bows and arrows just sparked on their armor, and then there was nothing.
Looking at the Qin army, who was already approaching the city gate, Lin Li immediately ordered: "Quick, smash the wooden rolling stone for me, is the oil pot ready?" ”
One of the defenders replied, "The oil is ready." ”
Lin Li said happily: "Okay, pour it for me, give priority to those hundreds of people, quickly." ”
The soldiers were not ambiguous, and four or five people wrapped in cloth forcibly lifted up a large pot of hot oil and poured it down the city wall.
There was a scream under the city wall, although the screams under the city rang out, but Lin Li's face darkened, it turned out that it was only the previous Qin army who screamed, and the four hundred Qin troops did not stay at all, the hot oil poured on this army as if nothing had happened, they were not afraid of this hot oil at all.
Meng Lian, who was beside Meng Tian, also saw this situation and asked Meng Tian: "General, why don't you withdraw the vanguard troops and let the main army go up." ”
Meng Tian shook his head and said: "No, the vanguard troops can't retreat, they are all pawns of the original coastal city, if they want to completely integrate into our army, then they can only rely on military merits to accumulate, if I remove them, then these people will be completely looked down upon, then it will be more difficult for them to be accepted by our sergeants, Meng Lian, you are also a general of an army, you must know that Ci is not in charge of the army." ”
Meng Lian lowered his head and arched his hand: "General Xie's guidance, I just think that we don't need these people at all, our army can take this Yongcheng, these are unnecessary sacrifices." ”
Meng Tian nodded and said: "What you said is true, but if this is not necessary, then how can Your Majesty's grand cause be accomplished, do you think that you can conquer this world with the 100,000 troops we brought alone." ”
Meng Lian realized his mistake, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "The general has learned a lesson, but his subordinates are confused." ”
Meng Tian shook his head and said: "I'm glad that you can think like this, it shows that you are a benevolent person, but some things must be weighed clearly, you are also the leader of the younger generation of my Meng family, and you will have to carry the Meng family in the future, think more about everything in the future, think more." ”
Meng Lian bowed and said, "Yes, I know my uncle." ”
Meng Tian nodded, then turned his head and continued to observe the battle situation.
Lin Li saw that he couldn't stop the approach of this army, turned his head to look at the improvised wooden bridge built by the Qin army, and suddenly said from his heart: "Prepare to pour oil on the pontoon bridge, the archers prepare, light the fire, and burn the bridge, I want to see, without the pontoon bridge, I will see how they approach, as long as we hold on until the reinforcements arrive, we will win." ”
The Qi army immediately poured oil on the pontoon bridge built by the Qin army, and the archer arrows ignited the oil and then shot at the pontoon bridge, and suddenly the fire burned, and the Qin army was stunned when approaching the pontoon bridge, and could only find the pontoon bridge that had not been burned down.
When the vanguard troops saw the Qi army burning the pontoon bridge, the vanguard general Gao Feng said fiercely when he saw this: "Everyone will protect the pontoon bridge for me, and I must protect the pontoon bridge, even if I block it with my body, I must block the arrows of the enemy's archers." ”
Suddenly, countless soldiers who were not afraid of death raised their shields to protect the pontoon bridge, and many who could not find a shield waved their swords to prevent the archers from burning the pontoon.
The spirit of the vanguard troops who are not afraid of death suddenly stimulated the Qin army behind them, and the four hundred people rushed across the pontoon bridge one after another, and after rushing across the pontoon bridge, they were grateful to the vanguard troops around them: "Thank you, brother, it's up to us next, and when Yongcheng is conquered, I will invite you to drink." ”
After hearing this, the soldier of the vanguard laughed and said: "Hahaha, this is a good feeling, take Yongcheng, drink, brothers rush." ”
As the four hundred Qin soldiers rushed across the pontoon bridge, Meng Tian smiled slightly, he knew that Yongcheng was already Great Qin's, and there was no suspense at all.
I saw four hundred Qin Ruishi cross the pontoon bridge and came to the city, and immediately skillfully pulled open the backpack behind him, took out two explosive bags from the backpack, pasted the explosive bags on the city wall and the city gate, and then connected the guide line and then quickly retreated, which did not forget to shout: "Everyone retreat, retreat, quickly." ”
Although the vanguard troops didn't know what the situation was, they still retreated without hesitation, and the Qin army quickly retreated to two hundred meters away, and the army behind them converged, Lin Li wondered for a while: "Why did the Qin army retreat, what is going on?" What did they do when they came to the city desperately? Why did you withdraw. ”
Soon, as the four hundred Qin Ruishi connected the wire to the detonator and pressed it down, countless roars suddenly sounded, Lin Li only felt that the sky was cracking for a while, and then the entire city wall collapsed.
Fortunately, the cultivators around Lin Li saw that the opportunity was not good, and flew away from the city with Lin Li in time, otherwise Lin Li would have been buried in the city at this time.
Lin Li looked at the collapsed city wall in front of him in disbelief, his eyes were full of incredulity, the whole person looked depressed, and muttered: "How is this possible, is this what a person can do?" ”
Lin Li never imagined that the Qin army would be so terrifying that he would directly blow up the entire city wall, in fact, cultivators in this world can also do it, but such people are basically immortals, and they will not easily conflict with a kingdom, because cultivators pursue immortality and the way of heaven.
If a cultivator attacks an empire for no reason, then he must be prepared to be counterattacked by the luck of an empire, and if he is punished by the way of heaven, he is very likely to die, so there has never been a case of a cultivator attacking a city for so many years.
If you want to destroy a dynasty, you can only be an army, and the army is generally ordinary people, and it is impossible to push it to the wall of a city, but now Lin Li has met it, and it has been found in himself, which makes Lin Li completely confused.
Lin Li was stunned, but the Qin army didn't, I saw that the city wall fell, all the Qin troops were excited, and the vanguard who rushed to the front was those who surrendered, only to see Gao Feng raise the sword in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, the time has come to prove yourself, take Yongcheng, let Your Majesty see, we are all iron-clad Qin Ruishi." ”
Suddenly, all the vanguard troops were boiling, and they all crossed the ruins of the city wall, and rushed towards Yongcheng with great efforts.
The surrounding shouting and killing voices pulled Lin Li back to reality, he immediately realized that it was useless to think about these things now, the reality was that the Qin army had entered Yongcheng, what he had to do now was to organize the army to fight, Lin Li immediately summoned all his soldiers to follow up the Qin army in the city to fight, at this time the Qi army defenders were still about 80,000, Lin Li thought that he still had the strength to fight, but the reality did give him a slap.
Meng Tian rode the armor-clad chasing wind and slowly stepped into Yongcheng, while the soldiers around him rushed towards Yongcheng, and it was only at this time that Meng Tian's face was slightly hooked and a smile was revealed.
Meng Tian's army immediately joined the battle after entering the city, and the Qi army was immediately defeated in the face of the Qin army, which was simply an unequal war, this was simply a massacre.
I saw that the machete of the Qi army was slashed on the body of the Qin army, and there was not even a trace of it, but the sword of the Qin army could easily cut off the weapons of the Qi army and break its defenses, and the Qi army was a group of lambs to be slaughtered in front of the Qin army, and there was no power to fight back.
Soon Lin Li's only remaining army of 80,000 was only 30,000, besieged by the Qin army, Lin Li's deputy general, that cultivator, said to Lin Li: "General, the armor and weapons of the Qin army are much better than ours, the general can't be in love, please leave the general immediately, the last general is willing to die for the general to drag the Qin army, and please leave quickly." ”
Lin Li shook his head and said: "No, the soldiers are fighting bloodily, as the commander, how can I escape, if I leave, the morale will inevitably be greatly damaged, at this time it is already a trapped beast fighting, if the morale is damaged again, our army will be slaughtered by it." In fact, Lin Li still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that reinforcements would arrive, but he knew very well in his heart that reinforcements might not come.
At this time, the Qin army suddenly stopped the sword in his hand, and simply surrounded it, and the Qi army had already been killed, seeing that the Qin army did not move, they surrounded one after another, and they did not dare to attack.
Qin Jun made a way, Meng Tian slowly came to Lin Li and Qin Jun with the wind on his shoulder, and said condescendingly and indifferently: "General Lin, we have met again, before the monarch blocked me from Yongcheng, Tian admired it very much, and now, I will give a sentence, surrender, Tian Ke will protect the king." ”
Lin Li sneered slightly: "Hehe, thank you General Meng for your kindness, but Dan Li also has his own pride, only Lin Li who died in battle, and Lin Li who did not surrender." ”
Meng Tian glanced at the righteous and awe-inspiring Lin Li with admiration, no matter the position, no matter whether it was or the enemy, the Qin army admired the heroes and admired the people with backbone, Meng Tian said: "The general is noble, Tian is willing to fight with one, if the general wins, Tian can be the master and let the general leave, if the general dies in battle, then the general does not need to worry, Tian will not slaughter the general's subordinates, nor will he slaughter the civilians of Yongcheng." ”
Lin Li looked at Meng Tian gratefully and said, "Thank you." ”
