The Qin army's powerful crossbowmen counterattacked as soon as they were bombarded. Arrows roared past, and several Ross army gunners were screaming and falling from the city wall.

The Qin army's artillery began to counterattack, and the whistling of shells tore through all the noises on the battlefield. Then the smoke pillars and fireballs rose one after another.

The Qin army artillery was constantly firing, but the Ross artillery was still spitting flames at the siege troops under the city walls intermittently. The artillery of this era was very backward after all, and it was difficult to achieve precise strikes.

Chen Chu frowned as the soldiers who were constantly engulfed by enemy artillery fire.

"Tell the artillery team to take fifty steps forward and bombard the enemy's city defense in a different way! Leave a small team to continue suppressing!" Chen Chu ordered.

Hundreds of heavy artillery slowly advanced under the drag of mules and horses, advanced fifty steps, and re-arranged the artillery roared again, and shells like meteor showers roared over the city wall, followed by smoke columns, flames accompanied by debris, and the remaining limbs rose. This caught the Ross army, which was reinforcing the city wall off guard, and the soldiers of the Ross army were hiding on the spot.

At the same time, the Qin army's siege troops continued to rush to the city wall, braved the enemy's artillery fire, and faced the wood and stones that kept falling from the city wall. The soldiers of the First Legion of the Qin army sacrificed their lives and their roars resounded throughout the sky.

About half an hour later, the Qin army had occupied five bridgehead positions. The battle situation was very tragic! The corpses of soldiers from both sides on the city wall accumulated like mountains, and blood dyed the entire wall into mottled red. The broken ladder and flying hug were burning. However, the fierce battle continued, with roars, clangs, and screams. Blood rolled in mid-air, and the blood was facing the cold sword light.

Cao Pi, who had no way out, ordered the Wild Wolf Legion as a reserve team to enter the battlefield. Cao Pi did not expect to put the Wild Wolf Legion on the battlefield so early, on the first day!

The Ross people fought back at all costs. Some of the fearless Ross soldiers actually hugged the Qin soldiers who had just climbed the city and fell down the city wall; bundles of gunpowder exploded up and down the city wall, and the soldiers on both sides were constantly thrown into the air by the waves of air.

Before he knew it, the sky was already dark. Seeing that he could no longer make any substantial breakthroughs, Chen Chu had to order the Jin to withdraw his troops.

The clear golden bell rippled on the battlefield. The Qin army retreated in an unyielding manner. The soldiers of the Ross army couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while, Xu Chu, who was covered in blood, ran to Cao Pi, "Young Master, the Qin army has retreated!" There was no slight excitement in his tone.

Cao Pi looked at the Qin army who was slowly entering the camp outside the city, and nodded numbly. Then he moved his expression and turned his head to ask Xu Chu, "The Qin army has retreated!"

Xu Chu nodded.

Cao Pi was obviously relieved and murmured with a serious expression: "I didn't expect it to be so hard on the first day!" At this time, deputy general Casroben came over.

"God of General, our army suffered a huge loss! Nearly 10,000 casualties! A day's loss! This is so unacceptable!" Casro looked incredible.

Cao Pi did not say anything, and ordered the troops to keep a close watch and clean up the corpses. Then he and several generals returned to the fortress.

"How was the casualties of the Qin army?" As soon as he entered the capital, Cao Pi turned around and asked.

Casro replied: "The number of casualties is similar to our army, maybe it is more!" Frowning and said in an incredible tone: "Our army relies on such a fortress, but the loss ratio between the offense and defense is one to one, which is really~~"

Cao Pi frowned, "Nothing is strange! The first, second and third legions in front of us are all elite troops of the Qin army, and the Tiger Roar Iron Cavalry is an invincible iron-blooded brigade, and none of them are easy to deal with! What I am worried about now is not these, how many artillery left in our army."

"The artillery on the southern city wall was basically lost!" Then Kaslo said with a worry face: "If our army cannot suppress the Qin army's firepower, our army will probably not be able to stand it for long!"

Cao Pi looked at Casro fiercely, and Casro panicked. "I don't want to hear such words again!!" Cao Pi said sternly. Casrovivideo.

"God of General, why don't we give up the first city wall! If we retreat into the inner wall, the inner wall is not only higher and thicker, but also much more beneficial in the terrain!!" Another general, Jerrod suggested.

Cao Pi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No! If we give up the first city wall, it will be even more difficult for our army to suppress the power of the opponent's artillery, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the morale of the army! Jerold, you go and supervise the repair of the city wall!" "Yes!"

The Qin army's tent.

"We fought well today! The First Legion is worthy of being the First Legion!" Chen Chu praised with a smile. Then he reminded: "Gao Lan, please carefully and lightly click on the dead soldiers and collect their bodies! In addition, take good care of the wounded soldiers!" His mature expression seemed a little sad. "Yes!" Gao Lan agreed with his fists.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you let the second army cooperate with the attack today?" Lu Bu asked in confusion.

Chen Chu explained: "Second, the Third Legion just needs to restrain the opponent's artillery troops! They are not yet ready to launch!"

Chen Chu glanced at the generals under the tent, "The war in the future will be even more cruel, you must be mentally prepared!"

The generals agreed in unison, and Lu Bu said proudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! With me, Lu Bu, there is no problem with any fortress!"

Chen Chu smiled, "Feng Xian is brave and unparalleled in the world! Unfortunately, such a siege battle is not the opportunity for Feng Xian to show his power!"

Lu Bu said happily: "It's your Majesty who understands me!"

Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but smile.

The next three days, the Qin army continued to attack the Langtou Mountain Fortress. Not only the First Legion attacked, but the Third Legion and the Northern Protectorate's garrison were also cooperating with the attack. In fact, the Northern Protectorate's garrison can be said to be the main attacker to some extent. It seems that Chen Chu planned to use the Northern Protectorate's garrison to consume the opponent's combat power and morale first. Although the Northern Protectorate's garrison does not belong to the regular army of the Qin army, its combat power is not too weak, and it is probably comparable to the seventh and eighth legions.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Cao Pi's emergency military information!!" The old minister Gao Jins rushed to the harem and said. At this time, Emperor Ross Peter Cay was discussing life with two vixen.

Peter Kai quickly asked the two vixen to retreat, and took a serious look, turning them out from behind the scenes of the veil.

"Old minister, why are you so anxious?" Peter Kai asked with some displeasure. No wonder, as long as it is a man, he is very depressed to be interrupted in this situation.

Gao Jins can't control Peter Kai's idea now. "Your Majesty, urgent military information! The Emperor of Qin personally led a 400,000 army suddenly appeared at the Langtou Mountain Fortress, and is now attacking Langtou Mountain Fortress!"

Peter Kai was stunned and snatched the letter from Goggins. After reading it, his face turned pale. "How could this happen? Didn't Kikans say that the main force of the Qin army went to the Western Regions?" Peter Kai said angrily.

Goggins said: "It's no wonder General Kygans! It's obvious that the enemy has been planning for a long time!"

Peter Cay paved back and forth, "Will the Kicans army return to the rescue?"

Goggins said: "It takes at least one month to transfer the army to Kicans from Langtou Mountain fortress!"

Peterkai frowned and nodded slowly, "Then let the tribal coalition forces in the east and northeastern areas reinforce the Langtou Mountain Fortress! Let Kukan City be fully alert!" Peterkai said in an inquiring tone.

Goggins thought for a moment and added: "Your Majesty, you should also tell General Kikans about this and let him attack! If General Kikans can make a decisive breakthrough in the west, then our army will win this battle!"

"Yeah! OK! That's it! Come!"

Two days later, Peter Kai's orders were delivered to Kicans and Cao Pi, and the tribes in the east and northeastern areas also received relevant orders. Ross's entire war machine was in full swing.
