48 The first battle of Jianyang!
In the early morning of the next day, the Chu army went out of camp and lined up.
As if to strengthen the momentum, Qu Ping ordered that all the 150,000 Chu troops leave the camp and form a mighty array outside Jianyang City.
At the front, is the chariot of the Chu army, hundreds of bronze chariots are lined up, the armor soldiers on the chariot stand steadily, the lines are not moving, and the slender strips of red and yellow Chu army flags are hunting and fluttering on the chariots.
Behind the chariot, more than 100,000 Chu army infantry soldiers were reorganized, and the array was dense.
Guns and spears are like a forest.
After a night's rest, the morale of the Chu army has improved, and such a magnificent formation in front of them seems to have given all the soldiers an inexplicable encouragement.
The former general Wu Ben raised the sword in his hand, the banner of the Chinese army shook twice, and tens of thousands of Chu army soldiers shouted in unison-
"Great Chu Wansheng!"
The low roar was like rolling thunder, sweeping across the entire battlefield, even if it was more than ten miles away.
Five miles away, Jianyang City was dead silent.
From a distance, there seemed to be a figure flickering on the city wall, and the blue-green flag of the Yue Kingdom was flying at the head of the city.
The generals of the Chu State were very satisfied with the momentum of their subordinates, and Qu Ping waved his hand: "Send someone to persuade you to surrender." ”
The chariot line at the forefront parted a gap, and a loud Chu military captain stepped forward.
The entire Chu army array also slowly advanced forward, stopping at a stone's throw outside Jianyang City.
Xiong Wuliang listened attentively, and could clearly hear the captain standing under Jianyang City, shouting to the city-
"The Yue people in the city listen, the king of Great Chu has arrived......"
"Little Jianyang, can be flat......tened with a drum"
"The general of my family Zhuguo admires the talent of the fierce general, and he does not want to erase the talent, so it is better to turn against him and surrender to the ...... Serve me Da Chu. ”
"General Zhuguo promises that as long as you open the door and surrender, you will definitely protect the lives of the soldiers in the city!"
“…… If you are stubborn and stubborn, when our army sets foot in Jianyang, it is no wonder that the jade will be burned. ”
There was a slow commotion in Jianyang City...... Then there were several topless and tattooed strong men who climbed onto the battlements in full view of everyone.
Under the gaze of 150,000 Chu troops.
Those Yue people actually took off their pants, threw them around the city with unspeakable things, and began to release water!
The soldiers of the Yue Kingdom on the city wall laughed loudly, without hiding the slightest hint of provocation and sarcasm.
The 150,000 Chu army can see it clearly!
Unspeakable rage spreads through the army!
The Chu generals gathered under the banner of the Chinese army and next to Qu Ping's chariot changed color!
"Presumptuous!"
"How dare you insult me like this!"
"After breaking the city, you will kill this fang!"
Xiong Wuliang, who also felt humiliated, was also furious.
Xiong Wuliang beckoned to Zhong Hua and ordered in a low voice: "Use the repeater to shoot them down!" ”
Zhong Hua's face turned red, and he waved at the Quyang Army array!
Twenty Quyang sergeants took a step forward in unison, picked up the crossbow in their hands, raised a slight arc towards the Jianyang city wall, and deducted the machine!
Brush Brush Brush!
Two hundred crossbow arrows burst out!
Xiong Wuliang and the others were located in an arrow away, and it stands to reason that when the arrow reaches this distance, there is no accuracy at all.
But the accuracy is not enough, the density is to make up!
At this moment, the four or five Yue people who were strafing back and forth on the battlements had not even finished draining the water, when they saw a dense array of black arrows shooting towards them!
A few howls.
The two were shot off the city wall on the spot, fell from a great height, and squirmed on the ground a few times before they lost their breath.
A few more Yue people fell back behind the battlements, and there was a cry of surprise on the city wall.
I don't know if I'm alive or dead, but I've obviously been hit by a few arrows to a greater or lesser extent.
The mockery of the Yue people on the city wall stopped abruptly, and instead, the army of Chu under the city laughed insolently, and the insults and ridicule soared into the sky.
On Jianyang City, he looked fiercely at the few Yue people who had been hit by arrows in front of him, and frowned.
At this distance, any bow and crossbow loses its accuracy.
That's why he ordered these soldiers to make such a presumptuous move, intending to boost the morale of the Vietnamese army.
I didn't expect the Chu army on the opposite side to react so quickly!
The rain of arrows just now, to say the least, is also a hundred or so arrows! This shows that there must be hundreds of Chu archers to brush and release arrows at the first time!
It's incredible! Whose subordinate is this? Can you organize a salvo of 200 archers in an instant?
Fiercely looked at the few pro-soldiers who were writhing in pain in front of him, and waved his big hand: "Carry it down to treat the injury." ”
Fortunately, this distance is already the limit of the bow and crossbow, although these pro-soldiers were all hit by arrows, but the injuries were not serious...... If it weren't for the shirtless, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have this injury.
……
Qu Ping under the city was stunned for a moment, and then stroked his palms and laughed.
"Who put the arrow?"
Xiong Wuliang stepped forward and arched his hand: "It's a part of my Quyang Army." ”
"Oh?" Qu Ping glanced at Xiong Wuliang and exclaimed, "I didn't expect your Quyang Army to be so well-trained!" ”
"The division of the right leader can be described as elite!"
During the march, Qu Ping had also seen the well-equipped subordinates under Xiong Wuliang...... The iron armor on the bodies of a thousand people shimmered and shiny, and it simply blinded Qu Ping's poor dog's eyes......
Qu Ping: Poverty limits my imagination!
Qu Ping didn't know that Xiong Wuliang had such a thing as a crossbow in his hands, and he was the same as the fierce man in the city, and he also thought that it was the two hundred Quyang troops who could shoot such a rain of arrows by releasing arrows together!
In less than a soak of urine, more than 200 people can brush and execute the order!
Qu Ping was overwhelmed!
Xiong Wuliang's personal soldiers moved quickly! Resolute execution! Definitely well-trained!
The persuasion to surrender was obviously a failure, but the morale of the army of Chu was at its peak, and Qu Ping immediately decided: "Order!" Besiege! ”
"Tell the whole army - those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded with 100 gold and promoted to three levels!"
The generals were in high spirits: "No! Obey the command! ”
……
The drum beat continuously, and the attack lasted for three days.
It can't be attacked for a long time.
The dead under the city are together!
A group of Chu generals also became sluggish.
The terrain of Jianyang City is steep, and the defenders of the Yue Kingdom on the city are like rainbows, and the more they fight, the more courageous they are.
Rolling logs, rocks, arrows, and more seem endless! It can be seen that the garrison is perfect.
Within three days, the Chu army took turns to storm and rush with cloud ladders under the cover of bow and arrow suppression, but almost never climbed the battlements.
The fierce man on the opposite side deserves to be a tiger general.
Under the fierce command of the Yue people, the city was guarded with great damage-
First, heavy objects such as rolling logs and stones were thrown down from the city, and the ladders built by the Chu army temporarily were often unable to bear it and were broken by the waist...... If an unlucky Chu soldier is accidentally hit by these high-altitude projectiles, at least his bones will be broken.
They even put feces, urine and other filth in a cauldron to steam and boil, and poured these hot, foul-smelling gold juice from the city.
The soldiers of Chu who were drenched all fell miserably, and even if they did not die for a while, they would soon have a large area of ulceration on their bodies, and there was almost no cure.
Before exhausting all the equipment to defend the city, the Chu army did not seem to have any chance of breaking the city.
But when will it run out?
This is a dangerous border crossing the country, and the hoarding of ordnance must be endless!
In the past three days, the Chu army has suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and its morale has inevitably declined.
The lights were raised, and the Chu army collected its troops and returned to the camp.
Soon, the barracks fell into darkness and silence, and only the wounded barracks, which were housed on the west side of the barracks, were faintly muffled and screaming from time to time in the night.
The soldiers of Chu slept listening to such a voice, and they were extremely depressed.
Only Qu Ping's Chinese army marshal's tent is brightly lit.
More than 20 members of Chu will gather together, and the atmosphere is dull.
Qu Ping held the sword in one hand, his face was calm-
"In today's battle, what are the casualties?"
……
