Chapter 472: Breaking the City

At the head of Xinzheng City, an officer of the South Korean army patrolled the city defense as usual, and asked the Han soldier who was specially responsible for keeping an eye on the Qin army's camp indifferently: "What is the movement of the Qin army today?" ”

Although the words came out, the officer didn't think that the Qin army would make any moves.

It is also strange to say that since the Qin army was frustrated in the first battle, it has never attacked the city again, and it is completely different from the rumored tiger and wolf army, as if it was scared by the Han army, and it has never launched an attack again, but it just surrounded Xinzheng like this, as if it was going to besiege them to death.

However, it has been confirmed that several large granaries in Xinzheng City have rich reserves, which are enough for the people of Xinzheng City to eat and eat for at least three years, and some savings can not be supported even for five years.

And in recent days, I heard that some nobles have rebelled and have been wiped out, and more food has been collected from the treasury of those noble lords, maybe the Qin army outside is starving to death, and they can still have a full meal.

"Nothing happened." The answers of the Han soldiers were also expected by the officer, but a Han sergeant snorted, looked at the Qin army camp, sniffed the smell of meat wafting from the Qin army camp tent, and couldn't help but complain, "But this Qin army is really generous, there is broth every day, and you can eat meat once in three days, although we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but maybe we haven't tasted meat for a long time." ”

"It's good to be full, in the past, the army's food and salary were deducted by layers of officials and lords, and when it fell into our mouths, it was a small bowl of corn, and we couldn't eat enough." Another older Han sergeant replied.

The influence of Canglong Qisu on people's hearts is visibly reduced with the naked eye, although the Han soldiers and soldiers still have a strong will to resist, but they are no longer so pure, mixed with some other thoughts.

Listening to the envious tone of his corporal and pawn, the officer kicked the older Han sergeant angrily: "You old boy, if you talk nonsense again, sooner or later, your tongue will be pulled out." ”

The Han army at the head of the city didn't notice that the smoke of today's morning meal in the Qin army's camp was half an hour earlier than before, nor did they notice that it was an early meal, but the Qin army was eating meat.

The power of the Seven Nights of the Canglong only hypnotized their will and strengthened their physical fitness to a certain extent, but Korea did lack generals who could fight well, and they did not notice these subtle differences at all.

Although Wei Zhuang can perceive these subtle changes, Wei Zhuang cannot appear on the front line forever, he is a general after all, and he must coordinate the overall situation and allocate the garrison of the four city gates of Xinzheng, rather than always guarding a certain city.

"Uhβ€”β€”! Wooβ€”β€”! Wooβ€”β€”! ”

The smoke gradually stopped, and the Qin soldiers who had finished eating the meat gathered excitedly under the sound of horns.

Experienced veterans knew that there was a battle to be fought today as early as they knew that today's breakfast was meaty.

For more than half a month, the Qin army has always besieged Xinzheng City without attacking it, which made the Qin soldiers a little anxious.

If it is for the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, there is no need to fight, and it is naturally a good thing to besiege but not attack.

But for the Qin army, who was knighted for military merits, this was a wasted time, like a hunter who hunted and put away his bow and arrows and traps to be lazy at home.

This is intolerable for the industrious old Qin people.

Moreover, in the past few days, the Han soldiers at the head of the city often shouted, saying that the so-called tiger and wolf division of the Qin army was just a paper tiger, and they were too timid to attack the city after a setback, and that Zhang Ji was also a timid and incompetent rat, and he was a fortunate minister who relied on flattery to flatter.

The Qin army was humiliated, and the commander was humiliated, how could the old Qin people endure it?

Their commander had already proved his ability in the Battle of Hezhong, and he was still the successor of Wu Anjun, which was clearly a deliberate humiliation of the enemy.

The Qin army, which was holding its breath, quickly assembled under the urging of officers at all levels, but the strange thing was that there were several strange-shaped machine beasts placed in front of the military formation, like pangolins.

Recalling the trap bat wings that fell from the sky half a month ago, many Qin soldiers guessed that it was the Mo family's trap beast, and they suddenly became even more confident.

Many old Qin soldiers with many years of combat experience have seen the power of the Mo family's machine beasts, but the previous machine beasts were their enemies, and the people of the Chu Mo family like to use the machine beasts to help the country that was attacked by the Qin State to defend the city, and the Mo family machine beasts, especially the main killing machine White Tiger, can always cause huge casualties to the Qin army, and this time these machine beasts seem to have become friendly forces?

Many of the generals of the Qin army, who had suffered greatly from the trap beasts, showed a strange look, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Han army at the head of the city with some schadenfreude.

"Knockβ€”β€”! Knock β€”β€”! Knock β€”β€”! ”

The rumbling war drums echoed on the battlefield, rippling in the hearts of every Qin soldier, if it weren't for the orders of the officers at all levels behind them, they would have rushed to the Xinzheng City Gate.

Outside the east gate of Xinzheng, Huan Qi, who was still a little pale, was wrapped in bandages, standing on the car and looking at the head of Xinzheng City.

His injuries were long before healing, but not so much that they would affect the command.

Huan Qi is a fierce general, brave and ruthless, good at rushing into battle, but he is not a reckless man who only knows how to blindly attack and attack.

There is a brute strength and bloody bravery, although it can break the formation once or twice, but it can't last long.

Huan Qi is good at breaking through the enemy's position with a point, and often works the choice of this "point", observing the enemy's front and finding out the enemy's weak "point".

Therefore, when it comes to commanding, Huan Qi also has his own uniqueness.

This time to attack the city, Huan Qi was given some siege equipment, one hundred and fifty people and a siege ladder, and also mobilized three thousand archers with strong bows and crossbows, intending to suppress the archers at the head of Xinzheng City in one fell swoop.

Among the Qin army, there is no shortage of archers.

Everywhere the Qin army went, they often liked to meet the enemy with bows and arrows first, shocking the enemy's heart and intimidating the enemy's courage.

The horn sounded, and Huan Qi immediately shouted: "Release the arrowβ€”β€”! ”

The 3,000 pairs of strong bows and crossbows in formation were divided into three teams, taking turns to shoot at the head of Xinzheng City, and the dense rain of arrows poured violently towards the arrow tower and the city wall in a scream!

All of a sudden, the head of Xinzheng City was submerged in a rain of arrows, and it was so hazy that it almost disappeared from Qin Jun's eyes.

At this moment, the war drums rang out, and the pangolin-shaped machine beasts trembled at the same time, and the bronze gears clicked.

Gong Qiu, who was standing on the top of a building car with Zhang Ji, looked at the two groundbreakers in Ximen a little nervously, and was full of strong expectations in his nervousness.

Nervous that this is the first appearance of the public loser beast in the Qin State over the years, looking forward to the meritorious service of breaking the ground Saburo.

The conversation of the Qin soldiers and soldiers was not inaudible, everyone was talking about the Mo family's machine beast, thinking that the machine beast in front of the battle was a product of the Mo family, but they didn't expect that this was their public loser's machine beast.

To say that there is no emotion, that is false.

The Mo family and the public loser are rivals of each other, and they have been competing together for hundreds of years, and they naturally have a breath of anger in their hearts, wanting to justify themselves.

The people who drove the Broken Earth Saburo were in the same mood as the public loser, but they were more afraid than the public loser.

It is a human being who has the emotion of fear, and the people of the Gongyi clan are not accustomed to seeing the Qin soldiers who are used to killing and life and death, and they are naturally afraid in the face of the mighty army at the head of Xinzheng City, and after seeing the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, after hearing the screams and wails from the Han soldiers at the head of the city, their expressions are even more complicated.

Obviously, the war was more tragic than these losers expected.

But as the drumsticks fell heavily and the sound of war drums spread across the battlefield, no matter how fearful the Gongyi clan was, they had to drive the earth-breaking Saburo forward, otherwise the bows and crossbows of the Qin army's law enforcement team would be the first to shoot arrows at them.

In fact, the fear of these Gongyi tribesmen was a little redundant, three thousand crossbowmen were divided into three teams to shoot at the city, just one round, the four city gates consumed nearly 40,000 arrows, this huge scale of firepower suppression, the marching master in charge of logistics saw that he had already begun to scold his mother, and greeted the female ancestors of the past generations who were responsible for attacking the four city gates.

In this case, the Han soldiers who had just changed from watching the lively play to defending were caught off guard, and there were many people at the head of the city who were originally carrying rolling logs and boulders who had never left the city, occupying a position at the head of the city, and their legs were weak in the face of the rain of arrows, and they did not dare to move at all, and to a certain extent, they also hindered the movement of the Han soldiers at the head of the city.

The two earth-breaking Saburo at the west gate ran towards the city gate, and the huge weight made the earth-breaking Saburo make a dull sound when he moved forward, and the ground seemed to tremble.

The Han soldiers at the head of the city looked at the earth-breaking Saburo who looked like a pangolin, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"That'...... What's that? ”

"Quick! Whatever that is! Stop them! ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

For a while, the archers of the Korean army shot towards Saburo Po Earth.

However, after losing the opportunity, the Qin army's strong bows and crossbows were continuously thrown at the head of the city suppressed by the rain of arrows, and only sporadic arrows were shot from the head of the city to the city.

However, Po Tu Saburo is made of bronze, and this half a month of revenge has been temporarily modified and added a layer of bronze iron plates outside Po Tu Saburo's cab, although it obstructs the line of sight on both sides, but greatly reduces the probability of arrows shooting into the cab.

But the one directly in front of the cab does have the probability of being shot in by arrows, but the running speed of the Breaking Earth Saburo is very fast, and the Gong Losing Clan controls the Breaking Soil Saburo to rush to the city gate with his head down, and the cab located at the head of the Breaking Earth Saburo is difficult to be touched by the sporadic arrows.

Most of the arrows landed on Saburo's torso, making a clanging sound.

And as the groundbreaking Saburo attracted the attention of the Han soldiers at the head of the city, another war drum sounded, and the Qin soldiers in the rear also charged towards the city under the orders of officers at all levels.

Twenty siege ladders were pushed to the city wall under the tsunami-like charge of the Qin army, as long as the siege ladder set up the city wall, and the body of the ladder was erected under the city, the siege battle entered hand-to-hand combat, and the Korean army crossbowmen at the head of the city were not afraid.
