Chapter 101 Ant Attachment
The Qin cavalry on the north bank of Honggou attacked the Chu army's artillery formation, Daliang King City, and the battle for the city walls was already fierce. The only ten artillery pieces of the Wei people were all arranged at the south gate and bombarded the Qin army under the city. The hundreds of stone-cattering machines frequently swung the shells or oil bombs, jumping shells and burning fire bombs turned the open space in front of the south gate into a slaughterhouse that harvested lives. The tall wreckage of the chariot burned like torches, and the bodies of Qin soldiers were everywhere.
However, no matter how fierce the resistance was, it could not stop the Qin people's attack. After drinking, the strong soldiers who had just entered the city were scrambling up long ladders like soldiers who were trapped in formation, picked up the earth and rocks in the bamboo basket, held a shield, and stumbled towards the tall city wall while shouting. The people of the Wei people on the city wall began to shoot arrows. The arrows were heavy armor-breaking arrows from Chu State, and all of them were fired with crossbows. The arrows were fatal at such a close distance.
Arrows were like rain, and countless people fell to the ground by arrows. The previous shouts turned into wailing. The drunkenness dissipated. Some of the strong soldiers stopped running forward but ran back. There was no way to survive. Fifty steps away, the short soldiers who protected the formation had already surrounded them. Looking at these strong soldiers who were running back, the short soldiers waved their swords and roared, and forced them to run back while slashing and slashing.
An Qi, who organized the attack of the powerful soldiers, looked at the driven back. They soon died as much as those who did not run back from the Wei people's rolling wood stones. The long ladder they were carrying and the bamboo baskets they carried were more like siege props than tools for siege. This made them think they were siegeing the city, but in fact they wanted them to consume the Wei people's firecrackers and rolling wood stones.
"General Bai can't bear it?" He turned around and saw Bai Lin sighing, and An Qi asked with a smile.
"It's not that I can't bear it, but I'm in a hurry." The powerful soldiers consumed the arrows and stones of the Wei army, but also consumed the time of the Qin army. Time is very precious. The shogunate army's orders changed, and he asked him to pull out the royal city before dawn tomorrow.
"The twelve methods of siege are the fastest ones." An Qi still felt that Bai Lin was unbearable, although he did not admit it. "Otherwise, General Bai thought how to attack the city? Will he use witch medicine to bomb the city?"
"Our army does not have witch medicine." The young mansion of Qin may have witch medicine, but it is definitely not enough to bomb the city. If it is enough to bomb the city, Wang Jian would have used it to bomb the city. Bai Lin looked at the massacre under the Wang city and said, "However, the ants are all strong soldiers, and there is no way to scatter the city. I think the soldiers are also ants, so that they can scatter the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, once they are at night..."
The time is coming, and the sun sets in the late November and early December in spring. It is only a moment before the shadows are covered in winter morning and evening, and the night will fall for more than a minute after the sun sets. The current situation is that it will be dark in another hour. At this time, the Qin army is no longer the former Qin army. Once night enters, many soldiers cannot see things and cannot fight at all. Most of the soldiers attacking the night and night before were carefully selected. Even so, Queen Mother Zhao and King Zhao escaped from Daliang.
Anqi came with the command of the shogunate army, which was a bit like taking over command. Before he arrived, Bai Lin had organized several attacks. The ten cannons at the top of the city were extremely accurate, and in less than two hours, he destroyed more than forty cars he had carefully created. As soon as Bai Lin was lifted into the night, Anqi instantly reacted. Not only did he react, he also expected that he would never be able to pull out the royal city before dawn, because the soldiers could not see clearly at night.
"What should I do?!" An Qi, who was full of confidence, was immediately stunned after understanding this. He thought that with these tens of thousands of soldiers, he would definitely be able to pull out the royal city before dawn, but he did not expect that there was only one hour left to the real siege.
"What else can it be," Bai Lin smiled helplessly. He took the cloth helmet handed over to his head and said, "Only ant can be attached to him."
The Lizhu only had a long ladder that was temporarily pieced together, only the earth and stones in the bamboo basket, while the Qin Zhu had carefully made cloud ladders. The other ones came with the Lizhu. The giant armor was given by the shogunate. However, the giant armor was heavy, and at this time, the Qin Zhuba people liked light cloth armor. Bai Lin put on the cloth helmet and turned away. An Qi watched him leave for a moment speechless.
The drums continued, and there were only a few strong soldiers under the city. The shells were dropped and the arrows became sporadic. Only the ten cannons at the top of the city roared from time to time, intimidating the Qin army outside the range. Seeing that the Qin people under the city sent people to die again, the somewhat tired Wei soldiers had to take some energy to deal with it. In the eyes of the Wei people, the strong soldiers rushing to the city were all son-in-law, and the likes of the Jia people came to die.
Bai Lin was mixed with these powerful strokes, but he was wearing a long robe pulled from the powerful stroke, and under the long robe was gray and tough cloth armor. The cloth he was wearing was covered with a ragged leather helmet, which looked no different from the powerful stroke except for his figure.
Walking on the battlefield full of corpses, the cannons on the top of the city were sparsely set off, and the shells thrown by the trencher hit the ground that had been pitted and bumpy, like the earth, and the turbulent bombs were like blooming summer flowers, with flames all around the land. The most killing were arrows. Although the tired Wei soldiers were careless, they still fell like raindrops, killing those soldiers without armor. Everything turned into a rope, tied to Bai Lin's neck tightly, making his heart beat faster and he couldn't breathe smoothly.
‘Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong…’ The drum sound suddenly changed at this time, and the Qin soldiers who were mixed with the stroke suddenly rose up. Although they did not carry cloud ladders, the long ladders that had been lifted to the city were sufficient. These long ladders were quickly lifted up and set up. Some soldiers holding the shields held the long ladders and prevented the Wei soldiers on the city from pushing them down with a hook and sickle, while others quickly climbed the ladders and climbed to the top of the city four or eight feet high.
In order to block the arrows shot from the city, there were scattered trunks hanging on the top of the city. These trunks blocked the Wei army's sight, but hundreds of long ladders "dadada" suddenly stood on the city. The soldiers who heard the sound were panicked. One day, the city had been guarding the city, and the stone rolling wood in the city had been used up for a long time. The south city was not other city gates, and other city gates could also remove beams, pillars, earth and tiles from the palaces and gardens. Behind the south gate was the Dating, the Taimiao and Taishe, and there were various warehouses, which could not be removed.
If there is no wooden rock rolling, you can only shoot arrows. What scares the Wei soldiers is that even if these Qin soldiers wearing long robes are hit by dozens or hundreds of arrows, they will not die. If they are wearing huge armor, Mo Xiangjia can still understand it, but when they shoot, they cannot hear any metal attacks, and only the "peeling" sound of being caught in the arrow.
Arrows were useless. When the Wei soldiers used the Yi spear to resist the enemy, the Qin soldiers had already climbed up the city wall. The Qin soldiers in the front could still poke down the long ladder, but when the Qin soldiers who were about to die grabbed the Yi spear and wanted to pull the Wei soldiers down the city wall, the Qin soldiers who were covered with arrows on the long ladder had jumped into the city.
‘Dangdangdang’, the South City Tower sounded the golden gong for alarm, and the drums outside the city were even louder. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers shouted and pushed the ladder cart straight to the city. Behind them were hundreds of catapults, and these catapults entered a hundred and fifty steps away from the city wall and shot turbulent bombs. The Wei army in the city never expected that the Qin army would also have catapults. The fire bombs fell frequently. Once the place where the turbulent bombs were piled up, they would be ignited, and they were caught off guard and were in chaos.
There was chaos in the city and fighting on the city. This was just the beginning of the city. While the Qin soldiers climbed the city from the long ladder and cloud ladder, a group of Wei soldiers rushed over on the city wall with the sound of gongs. This was the last martial soldiers. The face-pulling armor made people unable to see their faces, but the neat steps and the almost consistent sound of armor-plated pieces of the collision made people solemn. All the Wei soldiers along the way gave way and watched them rush to the fighting Nancheng.
The lookout on the southern city tower saw the Wushou getting closer and closer, and shouted to the top of the city: "Wushi is here! Wushou is here..."
This shout made both sides of the fight suddenly stunned. When the defeated Wei soldiers heard that the Wu soldiers were about to arrive, they burst out with a last trace of strength, and the barbarian spear in their hands was poking forward. The close-range spear could not pierce the Qin army's armor, not to mention that the Qin soldiers had shields on their hands, but countless barbarian spears pushed forward together, and the Qin soldiers on the city were still poking the Qin soldiers on their city back.
Bai Lin, who climbed the city, was standing on the narrow female wall to command the Qin soldiers to fight. With him as a general, the Qin soldiers who rushed to the city were greatly motivated and killed the Wei people. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be anxious and waved his sword and shouted: "Attack! Attack!"
"Attack--!" The Qin soldiers on the city responded excitedly. When they squatted down and wanted to raise their shields to retaliate, the Jing crossbow on the Que Tower blew, and the arrow shot directly at Bai Lin who was shouting for orders.
"General..." Several Qin soldiers in the distance heard the sound of crossbow arms hitting the crossbow frame. They subconsciously shouted, but they saw Bai Lin's kite floating out of the female wall like a crossbow arrow in their bodies and fell outside the wall.
"Ah..." The sun had already set, and in addition to the low black clouds in the world, there were the cold and whistling north wind. Bai Lin was shot at the top of the city by Jing Bibiao to let the seven chiefs of Anqi, Su Fu, Huang Long, Fan Mu, and Ba people were surprised. Su Fu, who was acquainted with Bai Lin, even took a few steps forward, even though the city was dark, he stared at the city to hope to see Bai Lin stand up, but he saw nothing.
Su Fu stared at the city, while An Qi and others stared at the city. The team of martial soldiers had already arrived. Before they arrived, someone else in the city shouted again: "The Wu soldiers are here, the Wei people are here for a while! The Wu soldiers are here, the Wei people are here for a while."
The north wind blew down the shouts from the wall. When the Wushu attacked from the west, the "Fu" with Chu sounded loudly on the east side. The cannons roared, and the cannons used to defend the city were bombarding the Qin soldiers on the top of the city with shotguns. The cloth armor could block the arrows, but they could not block the shotguns. After one shot, the Qin soldiers were killed and injured. The Qin soldiers who were unwilling to fail quickly rushed towards the cannons. However, the artillery was not one. Two cannons took turns to load, and the Qin soldiers who rushed forward were stared at by the Wei people with barbarian spears.
‘Boom--!’, the spearheads flew in the fire, and along with the spearhead were Qin Zu, who was fighting for his life. The shotgun penetrated directly from them, and the blood and flesh flew backwards splattered Wei Zu's face.
"Ming Jin, Ming Jin..." The cannons and the military soldiers attacked each other, and the space at the city was shrinking little by little. Fan Mu knew that the Ba people could not bear the heavy casualties, so he shouted to Ming Jin.
