Chapter 553: Reinforcements Arrive

"Rong Di is attacking the city again! Rush over! ”

At the head of Beishui Guancheng, the sound of warning sounded everywhere, and the soldiers dragging the remnants of the body rang the gong vigorously.

The people who were resting in the city had just caught their breath when they were forced to take their weapons and climb the city walls.

Woo –

Woo woo –

Rong Di's thick and dull horn sounded, it was the horn of attack.

Call.

A rain of arrows rose into the air, not to mention tens of thousands, and shot coldly towards the city.

"Raise the shield! Obstruct! ”

A loud shout.

Soon after the words fell, countless arrows fell on the city, and the shields held by everyone were instantly pierced into the shape of hedgehogs.

"Xiangye, Rong Di will use arrows to cover, and the follow-up phalanx will take advantage of the time to attack the city...... Here it comes. ”

"Fire oil, all down."

"No, there's no oil......"

One said bitterly, his eyes full of despair.

Chen Chao raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger, "Bang......!" With a thud, a small cloud of smoke rose from the ground, and the projectile, driven by gunpowder, shot at a charging Rongdi soldier under the city, who fell to the ground and was trampled into flesh by the soldiers who followed.

One shot was fired, but there was no time to reload Chen Chao, he dropped the flintlock pistol, picked up the bow and arrow at his feet, pulled the bow down sharply and shot the arrow, and shot another Rongdi soldier.

"Siege ladder, siege ladder!"

"The city can't hold ......"

The voice was hoarse and desperate.

Dozens of two-zhang high siege ladders are set up on the city wall, very heavy, several people can not push down even if they use the strength of the ground to eat, the fire under the city wall is gradually decreasing, and there are already Rong Di soldiers who have taken the opportunity to climb the siege ladder, go to the head of the city, and start a white-knuckle battle with the defenders on the city wall.

Meng Changge stood on the city wall, holding on to his double swords, the whole person paused, looking at the densely packed Rongdi army, he felt fear for the first time.

"Why are there no reinforcements! Why are there no reinforcements! ”

"What about my Great Qin's reinforcements, what about the reinforcements......"

The guard beside him held the knife silently and did not dare to answer.

Hacking to death a Rong Di soldier, Chen Chao stood up again, glanced at the position of the general Rong Di in the enemy formation, and hurried down the city.

"You guys, come with me."

"Bundles of explosives are loaded into trebuchets."

Several dragon guards tied the few explosives on their bodies together, and they were afraid that the weight would not be enough, so they tied them together with the stones and put them in the trebuchet. This time, everyone who came to Qin State did not bring much explosives, some of which were taken away by Hou Ji to blow up the snow mountain, and the rest were all here.

After loading the explosives, everyone turned the trebuchet together, adjusted the angle, and pulled the wrist-thick hemp rope behind them.

"Put!"

The explosives tied to the stones "whirred" and were thrown from the trebuchet positions in the city, and landed on the Rongdi positions in the blink of an eye.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

With a few explosions, the eardrums were about to be shattered, and the powerful explosives exploded in the enemy formation, and countless Rong Di soldiers let out a miserable cry, and even the mount of General Rong Di was shocked to retreat a few steps, snorting uneasily.

"It's not close! Not enough distance! ”

"You can't blow up General Rong Di! Can't blow up ......"

Chen Chao sighed angrily and continued to command the loading of explosives, "Put it again!" ”

This time the force was greater than before, and the stones containing the explosives were thrown into Rong Di's array, and the fuses of the explosives burned in the air, making a huge explosion sound.

"It's still not enough, the distance is not enough! Can't be fried! ”

In the Rong Di army array, General Rong Di on horseback was full of incredulity.

He looked at the two deep pits in the distance and frowned.

What is that, and why is it so powerful!

He clearly saw the stones fall to the ground, and "bang......!" There was an explosion on the ground, and the people who were close were directly blown away, with broken limbs everywhere, blood flowing all over the ground, and countless gravel splashing, easily shooting into the soldiers' bodies, and in an instant, dozens of brave and good soldiers lost their combat effectiveness, lying on the ground and wailing.

General Rong Di stretched out his hand and patted the horse's neck, trying to calm the horse's emotions.

The explosions just now alarmed many horses in the formation.

"What's that! What is that! ”

The adjutant general beside him couldn't answer, so he only strongly suggested that the general should evacuate backwards, so as not to be hit by the new weapons of the Qin people.

"Who is defending the city, and which army!"

"Yes, yes...... Zhengyang Army! ”

The broken Zhengyang military flag is still planted at the head of Beishui Pass, struggling to support.

General Rong Di narrowed his eyes and clenched his sword in resentment.

If it weren't for the Zhengyang army, they could have fought all the way to Xianyang and captured the king of Qin.

But now, they are blocked in front of a small pass, fortunately, the main force of the Qin army in the direction of Xugong Town did not attack, otherwise, they would have been blocked in front of this Beishui Pass.

General Rong Di brandished his sword and kept ordering: "Attack with all your might!" Capture the North Water Pass before dawn! ”

"Attack with all your might! Siege engines, crash open the gates! ”

A behemoth manned by dozens of people, the siege vehicle was pushed up, slowly approaching the Beishui Gate.

……

"General, the enemy's siege engines are coming!"

The guards let out an endless roar of rage in their throats, swinging their swords and slashing down a Rongdi soldier who had climbed up to the top of the city.

But he was also hit in the shoulder by Rong Di, and his body staggered and fell.

"Kill!"

Meng Changge's physical strength had reached its limit, standing at the head of the city and staggering, raising the knife in his hand, wielding it weakly.

Several Rong Di soldiers climbed up with the help of the siege ladder, and when they saw Meng Changge wearing the general's armor, they rushed over with bright eyes, and they were bound to take the lead.

"General, be careful!"

The few remaining guards gritted their teeth and pounced.

Several swords stabbed into their bodies in an instant, blood splattering out.

"General, let's go—"

With their mouths full of blood, the guards hugged Rong Di and fell down the city.

Meng Changge's eyes widened, his chest was full of anger, and he looked around, all of them were fighting to the death, and the Zhengyang Army never took half a step back.

Can.

But what about the reinforcements in Xugong Town, where have they gone?

Meng Changge held his knife and looked at Chen Chao who had ascended to the top of the city, and smiled weakly.

"Go, abandon the city. This is the war between my Qin army and Rong Di, and it has nothing to do with Ji Ren! ”

"Bai Zhi, take your family and go!"

"I'm sorry, I can't go to the capital with you, Cheng...... Married! ”

Dressed in soft armor and with a high ponytail, Meng Changge was covered in wounds, and there were also a few blood marks on his cheeks, he was extremely tired, and every word he said seemed to be confessing his last words.

"Xiangye, I'm going to kill that Di general!"

"Angelica Bai!" Chen Chao didn't have time to stop it, and found that Ning Baizhi was already holding a flintlock pistol, performing light skills, and jumped over the two-zhang high city wall.

Ning Baizhi pulled the trigger, "Bang......!" He solved a Rong Di with a bang, stepped on the shoulders of several people, and pounced on the Rong Di generals in the formation.

The rest of the dragon guards hurriedly jumped off the city wall and hurriedly went to respond.

……

Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!

Suddenly, just when everyone was desperate, a round of arrow rain rose into the air, killing a large number of Rong Di soldiers in an instant, and another round of arrow rain rose into the air, which had already broken through the defense line behind Rong Di's army.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements!"

"Zhengyang, play the banner of Zhengyang!"

"Reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming!"

On the city wall, the surviving soldiers hurriedly stretched out their heads to look with tears in their eyes.

I saw that behind Rong Di, a phalanx composed of several Qin troops began to rush to kill Rong Di's rear defense line.

The general Rong Di turned his head in a hurry, with an incredible look in his eyes:

"U-turn, U-turn! Stop it with all your might! ”

The Qin army came fiercely, and the attack was moderate, and after a few rounds of arrow raindown, Rong Di was already in chaos.
