Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the sound of passionate drums, the various units of the Qin army sent soldiers to step forward in an orderly manner.

They held a shield in the front row, or pushed a simple cart in front, covering the back row of soldiers, carrying soil and stones, and pushing them to the trench outside Jicheng.

The first step in the siege of the city, fill the trenches!

When the Yan army in the city saw the Qin people attacking, they also shouted and shot arrows, wanting to kill and injure the Qin army that filled the soil.

However, the Qin army's turrets and shields were tall, and the chariots were covered with raw cowhides, which could also resist arrows.

In one round of shooting, in fact, a few people can't die.

Don't look at the rumbling of the war drums of the two armies, the shouting and angry scolding are endless, and the arrows are flying all over the sky, but in fact, at the end of the day, the casualties are limited.

"Yan Jun really didn't dare to go out of the city."

Zhao Tuo was standing on a mound outside the East City at the moment, which was the command high ground chosen by Li Xin.

The main general is on a high place, and he can see the situation of the Qin army attacking Jicheng in the distance, which allows the short soldiers guarding the main general to also have a glimpse of the battle.

As a veteran of the battlefield known for his stability, Wang Jian made various preparations for the siege.

On the one hand, he ordered the craftsmen and prisoners in the camp to make various siege equipment such as ladders, building carts, and trebuchets. While ordering the troops to test the defense of the city, they also filled in the trenches outside the city to prepare for the attack of siege equipment.

Do two things at the same time, without delaying each other.

Of course, he also ambushed a team of soldiers and horses in each battalion, and if the Yan army dared to go out of the city to meet the battle and attack the troops who filled the trenches, that army would kill and take advantage of the situation to seize the city gate.

But unfortunately, looking at the situation in front of him, Yan Wangxi was already frightened by Wang Qian, and he didn't think about going out of the city to attack at all, just looking like he was defending the city.

In the past few days, the trenches dug outside Jicheng have been completely filled, and the trees that have been cut down in the surrounding mountains and forests have been transformed into various siege equipment in the hands of craftsmen day by day.

Although the Qin army had not yet attacked in a big way, after the trebuchets and building carts were made, they were placed at the west and south gates, and the deterrent power was enough to scare the Yan army in the city.

Yan Wangxi was even more dizzy when he went up to the city wall and saw the boundless camp tent of the Qin army with his own eyes.

"No wonder both Korea and Zhao are dead, such an army of tigers and wolves, how can my little Yan Kingdom resist it."

Yan Wangxi thought to himself in his heart, and even had a hint of surrender.

But immediately, Yan Dan, who was standing beside him, seemed to see through Yan Wangxi's thoughts, and whispered: "Father, in this Yan country, everyone can surrender, but only you and I can't surrender." ”

"If we surrender, not to mention the 800-year-old inheritance passed down by our ancestors, it will die in our hands. It depends on what happened to the surrendered King Han and King Zhao? ”

Although they were not killed, Han Wangan was imprisoned in Chen, like a waste. Zhao Wangqian heard that he was exiled to Fangling, and when he entered the wilderness, he did not know whether he was alive or dead. How could you accept it? ”

Hearing this, Yan Wangxi was shocked.

He has reigned for many years, and he has been in Yan Country for many years, he can have whatever he wants, and if he is imprisoned by the Qin people, it is better to die in that kind of life. As for exile in the wilderness, given his age and body, I'm afraid he won't survive a few days before he returns to the West.

Thinking of this, Yan Wangxi shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, Lone will not surrender." ”

"Yan Guo is here, and Lone is here."

At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded.

An object passed over Yan Wangxi's head at an extremely fast speed and with terrifying force, and the strong wind almost blew off the crown on his head.

"What's that?"

Yan Wangxi was shocked, and his saliva sprayed Yan Dan's face.

He was greeted by a series of crashing sounds.

"King, hide!"

"It's a flying stone!"

The attendants around shouted loudly, and the soldiers raised their shields to block in front of King Yan and the crown prince to cover their descent from the city.

Stone after stone was thrown by the tall trebuchet outside the city, flew in the air, and smashed down on the city walls.

Although the trebuchets were poorly aligned, or they landed on the ground after flying a short distance, or flew too far and smashed over the walls into the city, there were always a few misguided crowds moving right in the middle of the walls.

Bang!

Yan Wangxi saw with his own eyes that the head of an attendant exploded on the spot, and the red and white things were scattered and splashed, and even his face fell a lot.

He screamed, couldn't hold it anymore, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

There was panic and screaming on the walls.

Although those flying stones are only more than ten catties, their power is not enough to smash through the rammed city wall, but they are still far from being comparable to arrows, which has caused great psychological pressure on the city wall and the Yan people in the city.

At the same time, under the cover of flying stones.

The Qin army outside the city also began to launch a formal attack.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son.

Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son.

In the rousing drums, the Qin troops of all divisions chanted ancient war songs and stepped forward.

The second step of the siege, take the city!

The chariots moved slowly, covering a large number of soldiers approaching the city wall.

The towering building car also crossed the filled moat, and the Qin soldiers under the building car were excited to try, just waiting for the moment to take over the city, jumped into the city, and made a great achievement.

There is also a ladder cart that will never be lacking in siege warfare, and it is also driven by all the Qin soldiers to approach the city wall.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops and siege engines, the poorly aligned catapult has stopped firing.

The counterattack on the walls also began at this moment.

"Shoot the arrows!"

As General Yan shouted, arrows flew from the sky, like rain, falling into the battle formation of the Qin army, shooting over many people.

But more people were already approaching the walls of the Thistle City under cover.

The third step of the siege, climb the city!

The hook of the ladder cart hooked the city wall, and the building cart was connected to the wall.

Countless Qin soldiers howled and climbed along the ladder to the city wall, and jumped into the city along the building cart.

The Yan soldiers defending the city also screamed in anger as if they were crazy, and they shot arrows to kill and wound the Qin soldiers under the city, and threw rolling logs and stones to hit the enemies who climbed the city.

When the ladder reached the top of the city, they grabbed the ramming rod and fork rod and other equipment and quickly pushed the ladder down.

And when the Qin army climbing the city had already put their hands on the city wall, the Yan soldiers guarding behind the battlements picked up long swords, axes and other weapons, and quickly cut off the hands of the city climbers.

What's more, there was boiling water on the city wall, which was splashed by the Yan soldiers defending the city at the climbing Qin soldiers, causing a painful wail.

When a brave warrior of the Qin army, avoiding all risks, jumped into the city wall, what awaited him was the spear halberd that had long been flattened and the sword blade that had been wielded.

The battle reached a white-hot stage, and the Qin pawn seemed to be endless, like a crazy surging wave, wave after wave, constantly impacting this city that had been built for nearly a thousand years.

The sky was getting dark, and after round after round of rushing and killing, the two armies of Qin and Yan had already fought to the point where the cattle and sheep entered (戌時), and the moon had already appeared in the sky.

The golden cymbal sounded, and the besieging Qin army retreated like a tide.

In the dim sky, they dragged the corpses of their companions, leaving stumps and blood all over the ground, and slowly returned to the barracks......
