Chapter 1976 The sound of the horn in the depths of the night
The Yi barbarians followed one after another. Although countless soldiers died under the falling rocks and rolling wood, they still bravely climbed the city. Hundreds of ladders were laid on the ruined city wall that had been destroyed. Compared with the last offensive, this time the offensive was more fierce, and the difficulty of climbing the city seemed to be much smaller.
Countless barbarian soldiers were knocked down from the ladder, and the defenders' methods were still the same. The fuel was burned, and many soldiers were instantly buried in the sea of fire.
Shishen's face turned pale. Although the barbarian army continued, the same was true for the defenders. Both sides were like two exhausted beasts, but they were unwilling to give up.
If you want to quickly capture the city, Chu Shihan is now counting on the thousands of surprise soldiers he has in the tunnel.
He eagerly hoped that the surprise soldier could attack the Qin army guarding the city from behind and then open the city gate.
According to time calculations, the soldiers entering from the tunnel should have entered the city long ago, but no accidents have occurred in the city, which made him a little anxious. He had already got off the horse and kept walking back and forth.
At this moment, several barbarians ran to him panting, feeling embarrassed, and suddenly glanced at him, shocked and said sternly: "Don't cover, you should be in the city!"
The censored face, "Suddenly, something is wrong. The Qin people are too cunning. We had already entered the city, but before we could get out of the cave, they stabbed the spear from above, and the body blocked the cave entrance, and they had stones to seal the exit!"
Shishen was really furious about this matter, "How did they know we would attack from the tunnel? How could they find the tunnel?"
"We saw that the enemy had discovered it and was about to retreat, but the tunnel began to collapse downwards, and then they actually poured water from the entrance of the cave. We were very crowded inside the tunnel, and we couldn't stretch our hands and feet at all. The water filled the tunnel. Many people were suffocated to death in the tunnel!" Zhou Mo was still shocked, "Suddenly sweating, and the other tunnels were also discovered by them. All the tunnels were blocked by them and flooded with water. Except for us, the people in my tunnel were almost all suffocated in it."
Suddenly, the whip in his hand fell to the ground, and he lowered his hands weakly, saying in vain: "How could this happen!" He raised his head powerlessly, looked at the city with a blazing fire in front of him, screaming in battle, as if mocking his incompetence and self-righteousness.
Shi Han's eyes gradually became cold and fierce. He suddenly pulled out his sword, turned over the horse, and said sternly: "Everything is for Ben Khan to rush up, Ben Khan wants to attack the top of the city himself."
Continuous news came over, and the sudden sweating was already in chaos.
He knew very well that even if he captured Wuping Prefecture City this time, the Yiman tribes might not have any good eyes on him. The continuous mistakes have damaged too many people.
It was my own idea to divide the troops in Panlong Mountain. I decided to dig tunnels and steal them into the city. However, almost all the troops and horses were wiped out, and the number of casualties was too amazing.
The most important thing is that these two groups of people are mostly soldiers from other tribes. When these people calm down, they may feel that this is a means of deliberately weakening the power of other tribes. It is likely to offend the public and become the target of public criticism. Although the tribes of Shi Shi are among the top strength among the tribes in the grassland, they are more than enough to deal with any tribe, but if they are hated by all tribes and the tribes unite to deal with their tribes, the consequences will be truly unimaginable.
Although the Qin army saw through the authentic tricks of the Yi barbarians and flooded the tunnels and suffocated thousands of barbarian troops to death, under the fierce attack of the barbarian army, the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties.
In addition to the numerous barbarian soldiers climbing the ladder towards the city, there were many other archers in the barbarian army who found the opportunity to shoot the defenders at the city. Often, the defenders leaned over and stabbed a barbarian soldier to death with a spear, and were discovered by the barbarian archers. They were shot to death with one arrow. In the fire under the city, although countless barbarian soldiers howled in them, many Qin soldiers who were shot by arrows from the city were engulfed by the fire.
As the barbarians attacked one after another, more and more barbarians finally climbed to the top of the city. Although the defenders tried their best to block it, the defense line of the entire city wall was too long. As long as the barbarians could stand up for a little time, their companions would immediately follow him.
The soldiers on both sides were stained with blood. Whenever they met, they would be to the death.
Shi Han took the bow and arrow, rushed to the city, and shot several arrows in succession. He shot several Qin soldiers. He saw that many barbarian soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city, and the siege cars had already shaking the city gate and were about to collapse at any time. Shi Han was very excited.
Dingwu's shiny armor was already covered in blood at this time. Of course, it was the blood of the barbarian army. The barbarian army climbed to the top of the city. Wherever the Emperor's Sword passed by, there were piles of corpses. On the battle-torn city, there were corpses lying on the ground everywhere, but there were more and more barbarian soldiers, like ants.
Throwing stones and throwing trees, most of the strong men guarding the city could do it easily, but when they faced close contact with the barbarians, the defenders were already at a completely disadvantage.
In addition to the less than 3,000 guards under Xuanyuan Shao's command, there were only a few hundred people from the martial arts world who came to the city to assist in the battle. In order to prevent the barbarians from splitting their troops to attack, hundreds of guards were distributed in other gates. However, the barbarians' attacks were several times, but hundreds of guards were killed or injured. Now on the north city, there are less than 2,000 guards, and tens of thousands of barbarians are mainly attacking the north city, and they are in a state of being in short order, but the defenders are gradually losing their support.
The barbarians live on the grassland with poor conditions. They can ride and shoot from childhood and are brave and fierce. Compared with the people of the Central Plains who mainly work as a farmer, the barbarians have been in contact with bows, arrows and knives since childhood. Whether it is physical fitness or individual combat experience, they are superior to the strong men who defend the city. Although the guards are slightly better in combat ability, most of the strong men who defend the city are not the enemy of the barbarians at all, and a large number of people are in a pool of blood.
Xuanyuan Shao was slashing and slapping, while paying attention to where Dingwu was, and did not dare to be too far away from Dingwu. The big sword in his hand had already chopped the blade and snatched the sabers from the barbarians. Around him, the bodies were like mountains, but from outside the city wall, one barbarian soldiers emerged and climbed to the top of the city. The defenders at the top of the city were entangled by the barbarians and were no longer able to stop the barbarians from climbing the city. Xuanyuan Shao knew very well that there were tens of thousands of barbarians who were sieging the city. They attacked the North City fiercely. The strength of the defenders was far below the barbarians. The longer the time, the more beneficial it was to the barbarians.
He fought hard to kill Dingwu. Seeing that Dingwu was stained with blood, Xuanyuan Shao killed a barbarian soldier with one knife, approached Dingwu and said, "Master, the barbarians have already climbed up, we can't stop it. Please ask the Master to withdraw immediately and prepare to break through!"
"Breakthrough?" Dingwu's long sword pierced out, piercing through a barbarian soldier's throat, and said in a deep voice: "When did I say breaking through?"
"Master, I have prepared two hundred elite cavalry to wait in the city." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Master, the barbarians will soon rush into the city. We really can't resist it. It doesn't matter if the city is lost, but if the master loses it, the Qin Dynasty will be over!" A barbarian soldier has taken the opportunity to chop Xuanyuan Shao from behind, but Xuanyuan Shao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. The big sword stabbed back from his ribs, stabbed into the barbarian's abdomen, and leaned back and hit the barbarian's body. The barbarian soldier flew out immediately. Xuanyuan Shao continued: "I ask the master to consider the country and country of Qin, and prepare to break through immediately!"
The roars of the barbarians under the city were overwhelming, and they obviously felt that the situation was becoming more and more beneficial to them. With the sound of the bull horns, barbarians like ants swarmed up.
Under the North City Gate, several siege cars had been damaged, but new siege cars continued to rush up from behind. The North City Gate had already cracked a gap that was enough to accommodate one person's entry. Inside the city gate, a crowd of black people tried their best to stop it. Both sides even shot bows and arrows from the narrow cracks of the door. However, the ground inside and outside the city gate was also covered with corpses.
Dingwu killed several people in a row, approached the battlements, and looked downwards, and saw that the city was covered with barbarian soldiers, and the city walls were filled with ladders.
He looked cold. At this moment, he knew very well that it was hard to stop the barbarian soldiers from breaking the city. The defenders had already tried their best, but the power was disparity and they were unable to turn the world back.
Suddenly, a trace of desolation flashed through Dingwu's eyes.
He was determined to revive Qin, but he never thought that Qin would be destroyed by the barbarians.
Although Feng Yuanpo introduced the Central Plains to the Central Plains as a servant army to serve Qin, after Dingwu ascended the throne, he not only did not expel the barbarians, but instead used the barbarians to quell the rebellion of Qin. He always felt that he had the ability to control the barbarians, but in the end, raising tigers was a disaster, and these barbarians turned around and bit the deadliest bit the fatal bite at the Qin Dynasty.
Back then, Qin was rich in all over the world, and the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty was invincible. Feng Yuan defeated a vassal official of Qin and could make the barbarians surrender to him and was frightened. However, now, the emperor of Qin wanted to climb up the city and fight with the barbarians that Daqin had once disdained, and was destined to be defeated.
When the night wind blew, Dingwu felt a little cold. At this moment, with the cold wind, there was a faint sound of a horn. The sound of the horn was extremely low, but it was quite different from the sound of the horn of the barbarian ox horn.
