Chapter 144: Battle City South
"Black Buttocks, I'll leave this siege to you."
"I will take this city for the five hundred lords!"
With excitement on his face, the black buttocks commanded the soldiers to carry bamboo and wooden ladders and launch an attack on the city wall.
Zhao Tuo is now a five-hundred-hundred-hundred-master, so he naturally doesn't need to be reckless and rush to the forefront.
His responsibility is to stay in the rear, sit in command, and dispatch troops and horses.
Now under his order, the black hip with four hundred elite soldiers charged to attack the city, these soldiers were full of food and drink yesterday, and slept beautifully for a night, which was full of energy and bravely striving for the first.
In addition, there are fifty short soldiers led by the hairpin bird Xi Qigu to guard Zhao Tuo's side, if the situation is critical, this army can also be sent to the battlefield as a new force.
However, Zhao Tuo estimated that he would not need to go into battle with a short army led by Xi Qigu, because after a day and a night of attacking the heart, the guards at the head of the city were not only tired but also had very low morale.
In addition, with Zhao Ben attacking in the west of the city, containing the main force of Zhang Er's county guards and rangers, it should not be difficult to break through the south of the city with 400 elite soldiers.
In addition, Zhao Tuo also left a tun of soldiers, led by Shima, and lived on the east side.
Thirty of the soldiers were light infantry, and twenty were horse-mounted cavalry.
Zhao Tuo's eyes were firmly fixed on the city, waiting for the situation to change.
Winter! Winter! Winter!
As the war drums of the Qin army beat and the rapid drum beat, the first soldier of the tun launched a charge.
Twenty of them were heavy infantry, dressed in metal armor and with shields in hand, at the forefront, responsible for attracting arrows and projectiles from the city.
Thirty others followed, carrying planks and the like, and their task was to fill in the ravines and open the way for the follow-up troops.
When the vanguard of the Qin army appeared, a burst of crossbow arrows were shot from the city, and there was a sound of Ding Dongdong, the heavy infantry in front was fine, and several soldiers in charge of filling the ravines in the back fell to the ground screaming.
However, immediately there was a Qin pawn who was in charge of long-range shooting, operated a bow and arrow crossbow machine, and returned a rain of arrows at the head of the city.
This was followed by the second tun who was responsible for carrying the bamboo ladder.
Because of the tight time and the lack of manpower, Yang Xiong's thousand-strong troops have built large equipment such as cannons and building cars, and even the most rudimentary siege vehicles, they have only built one, and now they are using them in the west of the city.
In this way, it is possible to mislead the defenders into believing that the west of the city is the main direction of attack.
The real siege weapons of the Qin army were simple and easy-to-make bamboo and wood ladders.
After the ravines were filled with the robe in front, the soldiers of the second tun, who were responsible for carrying the bamboo and wooden ladders, spread their legs and galloped all the way, put the ladder tailored to the height of the city wall on the city wall, and held it down vigorously to prevent the ladder from being pushed down by the guards on the city head.
Immediately after that, the daring man who was really responsible for the first arrival came!
"Chong, all for Naigong Chong!"
"Five hundred lords have orders, and those who ascend the city first will have a great merit!"
The black buttocks roared, commanding the warriors to go first, and the rest of the soldiers followed behind according to the tun, and climbed along the bamboo ladder to the top of the city.
These Qin soldiers selected all those who dared to fight bravely, and they were bent on meritorious service and promotion.
Before Xiaohuang County was persuaded to surrender by Li's tongue, everyone did not make an inch, and everyone was already holding their breath in their hearts.
Now that I finally came to a tough battle, I had the opportunity to cut off my head and make meritorious contributions, so I was naturally excited, as if I had been beaten with chicken blood, and I climbed up the ladder with a howl.
Outside the head of Huangcheng, a metal collision and human screams suddenly sounded.
"These Qin people are really fierce!"
As soon as Liu Ji led a hundred county guards and rangers to the south of the city to support, he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
He saw those armored Qin soldiers climbing up the ladder one by one, and one of the Qin soldiers had just emerged when the city guards poked their spears in the chest, screaming and falling off the city wall.
But immediately another Qin pawn climbed up.
The man's eyes were red, and his mouth was howling with excitement
Before Wei Shu could withdraw his spear, a sword stabbed into Wei Shu's throat.
The surrounding Wei pawn and the young man were startled, and the Qin man rushed forward to kill one of them, but immediately several spears stabbed at the same time, stabbing into the chest of the Qin pawn, and slamming him to death on the city wall.
Unexpectedly, this Qin pawn was extremely fierce, with blood flowing from his mouth, and he howled and threw the sword in his hand, hitting a young man in the face.
Seeing this scene, the Qin pawn smiled and lost his breath.
After this Qin pawn fell, more and more Qin people jumped onto the city with a howl.
"The soldiers of Shandong were blinded by the armor and fought the battle, and the Qin people donated armor to meet the enemy, taking the head of the person on the left and the captive on the right......
Liu Ji muttered what he had heard, this sentence that described the fierceness of the Qin army.
If it is really famous, it is better to meet, and it is better to meet than to be famous.
It is no wonder that the countries of Shandong faced the Qin people going east and lost successive battles.
With five to one, he was still beaten by the Qin army and couldn't raise his head.
These Qin people are really terrifying.
Liu Ji is in the land of abundance, and he is also a well-known number one person, he is brave and ruthless, and it is common for him to gather and fight with people.
But compared to those glorious past achievements and the bloody scene in front of them, they are like children fighting, and they can't be put on the stage.
Liu Ji was frightened.
"Gentlemen, rush!"
"Today, for the sake of the Wei State, in order to repay Zhang Jun's kindness, let's fight with the Qin people!"
Liu Ji raised his arms and exhaled.
Under his bloody call, among the 100 county guards and 100 rangers behind him, there were really many people who were enthusiastic and stepped forward to attack the Qin soldiers who had ascended the city.
Liu Ji shouted as he squeezed away the people behind him and retreated to the west of the city.
Although there were many Wei people in the city, most of them were young people in the city who were recruited.
Under Zhao Tuo's propaganda and tactical brainwashing for a day and a night, their hearts have long been filled with the words "those who surrender will not die, and those who resist will not die".
At this moment, when he saw the stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and the fierce appearance of the Qin people, he was even more frightened.
The rout came faster than expected.
The 800 young men didn't know who ran first.
All 800 of them turned around and fled.
The remaining 100 county guards and 100 light men stared wide-eyed.
"Where's Liu Ji?"
"Liu Ji ran away!"
Seeing that Liu Ji, the leader appointed by Zhang Er, had already run away and disappeared, how could these county soldiers still have any fighting spirit to face the fierce and terrible Qin soldiers, they turned around and fled one by one, rushing for their lives.
Someone stood by the wall, squeezed down the wall by the chaotic crowd, and fell directly to the bone and broken tendons. There were also people who were left behind, seeing that Qin Pawn was catching up, and took the initiative to jump off the city wall in order to save their lives. There are also those who ran at the back and were caught up by Qin pawns and stabbed to death on the spot.
Of course, it's more about people who spread their legs and try to escape.
The southern city wall of Waihuang County was captured by the Qin army in a single confrontation.
At this moment, the west city wall of Waihuang County.
Zhang Er is commanding hundreds of his subordinates, and the Qin soldiers under Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben are fighting back and forth.
"This is really a sheep attack, and the Qin army will definitely not be able to take the Western Wall with this offensive. It seems that their main direction of attack is the south of the city, hmph, fortunately I sent Liu Ji to guard it."
"Liu Ji is a man of faith, with the two hundred people he brought, plus eight hundred young people, with the help of the advantages of city defense, how can he block the attack of the Qin army."
Zhang Er smiled, feeling that he seemed to think of Qin Jun too terrifyingly.
They have a large number of people, and they have walls to rely on.
In this way, the advantage is in me, how can I lose?
Just as Zhang Er was winning steadily, he suddenly heard a chaotic shout from the south of the city.
He looked back and was shocked to see a bearded ranger rushing towards him.
Liu Ji rushed to Zhang Er's side in a few steps and said in a low voice.
"Zhang Jun is leaving, the city wall is lost!"
"Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!"
"How could it be lost?"
Zhang Er was dumbfounded, the southern city wall was a full thousand people, and the Qin army besieging the city was only five hundred.
Even if a thousand pigs were blocked there and let the Qin people kill them, it wouldn't be so fast.
Liu Ji shouted, "Zhang Jun hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to leave!"
As he spoke, Liu Ji grabbed Zhang Er's arm and dragged him under the city wall.
