Chapter Twenty-Six: The Battle for the Siege Begins
"Congratulations to the Overseers! The Overseers have been brave enough to take the head of the enemy in a matter of moments!"
The Yang army slowed down its attack because of the loss of its generals, and the pressure on the tiger army was naturally reduced a lot, and the tiger army that was close to it congratulated Qin Wu one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Although I killed him, I don't even know who he is, you can help me see, which general is this enemy?" Qin Wu said.
The nearby Tiger Ben Army looked at the head and said they didn't know who it was.
Seeing this, Qin Wu shook his head and said, "It seems that he is an unknown young general, no wonder he is so weak." ā
With that, Qin Wu threw the head back and threw it into the pile of corpses of those Yang Kingdom soldiers.
At the other end of the battlefield, Chiyang General He Ziqiang's face was pale.
Although Du Jiang is not a famous general, he is also a talent personally promoted, a real hundred generals, and he was taken off the head in just a moment!
Although he was far away and couldn't see the specific situation clearly, listening to that voice, it seemed to be Qin Wu who was arguing with him at the beginning.
"I'm angry, too!" He Ziqiang ordered angrily. "Mingjin withdraws the troops! Regroup and prepare for another battle!"
Seeing that the 10,000 Yang Kingdom soldiers who rushed forward had already lost three or four out of ten, while the 2,000 Tiger Ben army was almost undamaged, coupled with the loss of generals, now their morale has dropped greatly, and they have no intention of rushing again.
Qin Wu saw that the enemy began to withdraw his troops, and immediately ordered the Tiger Ben army to kill it, which was narrow and dangerous, and even if he fought a distance further, he would not mess up the formation.
"Kill!"
"Don't let any enemy go!"
Qin Wu took the lead, and any soldiers of the Yang Kingdom who dared to resist were slaughtered by him.
The soldiers of the Yang Kingdom in the retreat had no intention of fighting again, and when they saw the Tiger Ben army coming up, they even fled out with a rolling belt, and fled completely in the blink of an eye, leaving only a pile of corpses.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army no longer continued to chase after them, but shouted taunts in the same place.
"Get out of here, sons of the Yang Kingdom!"
"Go back and huddle in your mother's arms and cry!hahaha!"
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were all cheering, but in the distance, He Ziqiang's face turned purple with anger.
A general beside He Ziqiang saw that his marshal was extremely angry, so he proposed: "Marshal, why don't we charge with 300,000 troops together? They are only a thousand people, and we can trample them to death just by stepping on them!" ā
"Fool!" He Ziqiang scolded, "How big is the pass of Hezong Pass? Even if we are allowed to enter unimpeded, it will take several hours to let everyone in, can the soldiers maintain the momentum of the charge for a few hours? When the morale of the rear drops, what will they do to charge the Tiger Army!"
"The marshal is right, it was the general's negligence. The man knew that he had touched He Ziqiang's mold, and quickly apologized to him.
He Ziqiang gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order, pull the catapult up, and smash them to death for me!"
On the side of Hezong Pass, Qin Wuzheng commanded the Tiger Ben army to quickly regroup and pile up the enemy's corpses as an obstacle to the enemy's advance.
"Hurry up, we must return to the city gate before the enemy makes a second charge!" Qin Wu commanded.
Although the enemy retreated, the second wave of the offensive would soon come, and they had to seize all the gaps to prepare.
At this moment, Qin Wu noticed that many instruments were being launched in the opposing camp, and in the moonlight, the outlines of those instruments were reflected......
"That's it!"
"Trebuchet!
At the same time as Qin Wu gave the order, the soldiers of the Yang Kingdom also cut the towing rope on the trebuchet......
With the roar, the stones smashed towards the camp of the Tiger Ben army like a meteor swarm, and the tiger army hurriedly resisted with their shields, but those smaller stones were okay to say, but those boulders were ......
The shield of the Tiger Ben Army was smashed out of one dent after another, and the boulder was smashed directly into a smash along with the shield, those are used to attack the city and break the trebuchet, even if it is smashed on the city wall, it can also smash a dent, how can the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army resist this kind of boulder with manpower?
"Use the pile of enemy corpses as cover!Quickly retreat to the city gate!" Qin Wu roared.
He smashed a stone that was coming at him with one palm, and dragged a wounded soldier whose foot had been broken to run towards the pass.
Qin Wu thought that there was still a moment before the second wave of the enemy rushed up, and he could make some preparations, but he didn't expect that the enemy would use the trebuchet immediately, not giving himself a chance to breathe.
Soon, the Tiger Ben army retreated to the city gate of Hezong Pass, although those boulders could no longer hit them, but the shadow in their hearts still lingered. Nearly 100 soldiers were injured, and many of them were directly smashed into flesh by the boulder and died on the spot.
On the side of the Tiger Army, casualties have also begun to appear......
In the Yang Army, He Ziqiang's face finally improved a lot.
He Ziqiang said to himself with satisfaction: "It's a pity that I didn't expect a siege battle to occur in this raid, and the trebuchet was not specially prepared, if there were more, maybe they would all be stoned to death." ā
"Xu Zhisheng!" He Ziqiang shouted.
"The last general!" Xu Zhisheng responded.
He Ziqiang ordered: "I now order you to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, use all means, you must take the Hezong Pass for me!"
"Yes!" Xu Zhisheng was full of confidence, although he was not listed as the general of Sanyang, he was also a famous general in Yangguo, and he had the absolute strength of a thousand people!
He Ziqiang thought about Du Jiang's fate just now, and he was still a little uneasy.
Just in case, He Ziqiang said again: "Zhang Shengying, you also go to help General Xu, you must strictly guard against that Qin Wu!"
"The last general obeys!" replied Zhang Shengying, who was also a general with a strength close to a thousand people.
"Remember, this battle is only allowed to win, not to lose! This morale is full of strength, and then it declines, and then it is exhausted, Du Jiang has already been defeated once just now, if you are still defeated this second time, give me a head to see you!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Xu Zhisheng and Zhang Shengying, two generals, led their troops to charge, one of them had the strength of a thousand people, and one was close to a thousand, even in the rivers and lakes of the Han Kingdom, it was also a first-class master.
He Ziqiang was very confident this time, thinking that Qin Wu was just a captain of the Overseer Army, no matter how strong he was, it would never be possible to defeat two generals with the strength of a thousand people.
Yangguo's charge sounded again, Xu Zhisheng and Zhang Shengying took the lead in the charge, this time they not only tripled the number of people, but also brought a lot of siege equipment, because they felt that the enemy was only two thousand, they thought that they could easily crush the past, but they suffered a loss, so this time they not only had to attack from the front, but also prepared to attack from the city wall!
"Captain of the fourth battalion, you immediately lead eight hundred brothers to the city wall to resist now!" Qin Wu ordered when he saw this.
Eight hundred, almost half of the remaining Tiger Army.
"Yes!" replied, the lieutenant of the fourth battalion immediately took action.
"The rest of us and I will continue to maintain the shield formation!
Seeing that the enemy's second charge was getting closer and closer to the Hezhong Pass, many of the soldiers of the Tiger Army couldn't help but sweat with the hands holding their weapons.
The first charge was just a temptation of contempt from the enemy, who thought they could easily crush it, so the Tiger Ben army who found the right way to deal with it was so easy.
But now, ladders, trebuchets, and all kinds of siege equipment have been brought up, and simply using the shield array to block the city gate can no longer hold the Hezong Pass.
Everyone knows in their hearts that this battle is only now really beginning.
