Chapter 51 Bloody Battle in Yuzhong (1)
The melodious sound of trumpets resounded outside Yuzhong City, with blue sky, white clouds and green grass, and countless Qiang people were galloping back and forth. The Qiang leader Noah did not join forces with Yuezhi, but came to Yuzhong City early. What he needed was a legitimate excuse to send troops. As for his son, he still had many more, and at worst he could just turn back and have a few more.
Since ancient times, for the expansion of territory, countless ethnic groups have launched fierce fighting. This is a desperate battle between civilizations, with only two, survival or destruction. In Yuzhong City, Ying Guang led the Dianjun and Fengzhuang to look at the Qiang camp ten miles away. It can be seen that the siege equipment in the camps. The grassland people are not good at siege cities and can gather so much baggage in a short period of time. It can be seen that the Qiang people had planned to invade Qin. Even if the prince does not die, this battle must be fought. King Zhao was far-sighted and sent the king's order early. There was no punishment in the middle. There was only one requirement, that is, fight when you want to fight, and never compromise!
It seems that there will definitely be no war today. The Qiang people are busy setting up camps, and Noah must first explore the virtual and real things in Qingyuzhong. The soldiers also need to rectify them. Except for the iron cavalry responsible for the defense, everyone is busy for tomorrow's war.
"Dianjun!"
"The last one will be here!"
"The backbone of your unit is the former veterans of Molin Camp. Tomorrow's first battle, all your people will be used on the front wall! I only have one requirement, and I will not lose an inch of land!" Ying Guang put away his previous laughter and said seriously.
"Don't worry, commander! Unless I die, the city wall on the front will be fine!" Dian Jun answered in a rough voice, holding a big axe.
"Zhang Chao, Wei Dong!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You two lead our troops to protect the city walls on both sides of the left and right, and equip them with bows and crossbows. The arrow towers at the corners of the city must not be lost. Be sure to reduce the pressure on the front wall!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
"Xu Sixie!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Your scout camp forms a firefighting team and is equipped with crossbows. You can go wherever the wall is in danger and be flexible and maneuverable!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
As a new member of the integration, Fengzhuang was a little anxious when he saw that he had never assigned tasks to him. He secretly glanced at Mo Yin. Seeing that the leader Mo who had never even taken the young master in the past was also serious at the moment, he stood behind Ying Guang and acted as a guard. He swallowed the words he said.
Ying Guang's eyes patrolled around and finally fell on Feng Zhuang.
"Fengzhuang obeys the order!"
Feng Zhuang was shocked, and he took a big striking step, and stood up, "The last one is here!"
"Your troops are mostly new recruits, so you are arranged as a reserve team and you are ready to call at any time!"
Feng Zhuang opened his mouth and wanted to argue something. Suddenly, he saw Mo Yin staring at him, and he was deflated again and bowed, "The last general will take the order!"
Ying Guang walked towards the city, looked at the black Qin soldiers in the city, and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Look carefully at the people around you! They are your robes! Your brother! They are also those who will block your sword tomorrow! All you have to do is support each other, strangle the enemy, and eventually survive! I think that small country dares to invade my territory of the Qin Dynasty. As the guards, we will definitely let them never come back! The world is in trouble, how can we get Kang Ning? There are sharp soldiers in Qin, who will compete for power?!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
Noah frowned quietly when he heard the amazing shouts in Yuzhong City. He put down the mutton in his hand. Noah walked outside the tent and looked at the city in Yuzhong. There was a black Qin-shaped flag fluttering in the wind. It was the vanguard battle flag that only the elite Qin army had. But he didn't know which one was stationed in the city.
No words all night.
The next morning, the morning light had just illuminated the grassland outside the city. Amid the intense sound of war drums, teams of soldiers came out of their own and gradually formed square formations. After the assembly, a general in the formation held a battle flag and came to the middle of the battlefield. He waved his right hand and nailed the battle flag to the ground. He didn't care whether there would be a cold arrow attack. He swaggered at the city wall and turned around and returned. There were bursts of laughter from the square formation. Invisibly, the morale of the Qiang soldiers was rising step by step.
Noah stood on the central army's command platform, watching the performance of his generals with satisfaction. Seeing that the morale of the soldiers had risen to the critical point, he shouted: "Attack!"
The drum sounds around suddenly changed, the rhythm changed quickly and quickly. Countless Qiang infantrymen carried the ladders to the city wall. But once they ran, the gap appeared. The Qiang soldiers were all good at horses. After getting off the horse, the quality of individual soldiers became uneven. Some ran fast, some were slow, and there were serious disconnections in the front and back. The good square formation was also deformed. Even the spearmen who were supposed to be in the rear ran to the front of the shield armored soldiers. How could Ying Guang let go of this?
A good opportunity, with a command, the rain of arrows all over the sky fell in an instant. Under the influence of gravity, the arrows landing at high speed had a terrible penetration. Ordinary cowhide shields could not stop the shooting of arrows, and they were often the result of the shield being destroyed. Qiang soldiers without shield protection were even more miserable, and their leather armor was like paper. If they hit the exposed part directly, a penetrating injury would be formed. The soldiers often had to run forward a few steps before they fell to the ground after being caught.
When the Qiang soldiers rushed to within two thousand steps from the city wall, dozens of city defense crossbows at the top of the city began to show their power. The long crossbow arrows attacked the Qiang soldiers carrying the ladder with the unique sound of breaking through the air. They gave up the ladder on their shoulders and rolled on the spot, and escaped by chance. More often, they watched the crossbow arrows pierced into the crowd, bringing a bunch of blood. The unlucky guy behind was nailed to the ground and howled, while the person in front was staring blankly at the big hole in his chest, and the broken organs flowed out of the entrance of the hole with blood. The man struggled to catch his internal organs with his hands, but he didn't want to be shot on his forehead by the subsequent feather arrows. His legs were still standing straight, but his forehead fell backwards along the inertia of the feather arrows.
In the death zone of two thousand steps, the Qiang soldiers finally suffered a large number of casualties.
Noah seemed to have not seen the tragic death of his tribe members. He commanded the subsequent Qiang soldiers to continue charging without expression. He stepped on his companion's body and picked up his companion's shield. The Qiang soldiers learned what group charges with the blood of their predecessors. The ladder was protected in the middle, and the flesh shield outside still fell down, but they finally rushed within a thousand steps. The archers in the formation began to counterattack at the top of the city. It is undeniable that the Qiang soldiers' archery skills are more than one step higher than the Qin soldiers. The archers on the wall will often be accurately shot by the cold arrows under the city as soon as they emerge.
