Chapter 70 Entering the City

A thousand cavalrymen stopped outside the woods, and the Zhao army inside did not respond. The Qin army suddenly launched rockets, and countless orange-red arcs were dripping from the sky. In winter, trees were dry and easy to burn. After three rounds of arrows, thick smoke rose everywhere in the forest and fires soared into the sky. The Zhao army hidden in the woods seemed to be doves emerging from the chimney, dragging the smoke towards the road. Screams and wails spread throughout the fields.

Fireballs and firemen ran out of the woods, slashing people as if they were crazy, and they pulled a comrade away before they died. The Zhao army was only concerned about running away and was defeated. The soldiers of Zhao State still don’t know what happened, and no one expected that the Qin army, which was holding a party, would come to the other side of the river. Many people thought they had lost the sky fire.

The surviving Zhao army was defeated and retreated less than a hundred meters. When they heard a whirlwind suddenly rise behind them, they turned around and looked at it in panic, "Damn, where did the Qin army come from--" Wang Ben's cavalry, with a strong wind and a huge storm. The soldiers of Zhao State were so scared that they were scattered, fighting and robbing each of them, and they ran for their own lives. It was like seeing a ghost in the middle of the night, and the knife cut off the carotid artery, and they couldn't believe their eyes one by one. Could it be that the Qin army fell from the sky?

Wang Ben defeated the Zhao army's large group without any strength. The Qin army's reputation was so great that it increased. The Zhao army forgot everything except for escaping, so he had to retreat one after another and finally retreated outside Julu City.

Wang Ben chased and killed all the way, and the Qin army was constantly injecting into the battlefield. Ren Ao and E Qianqiu led the bloody storm along the way to fight against the West Gate and the North Gate. Wang Ben's middle army went straight to the middle to attack the East Gate.

The Zhao army cavalry and infantry, dispersed by the Qin army, were piled up in chaos under the city, shouting loudly that the soldiers in the city put the suspension bridge open the city gate and let them enter the city. Gao Qi was patrolling the east gate. He had no idea what was going on. He saw countless Zhao soldiers smoking all over their bodies, throwing their armor and abandoning their armor, and in a mess. They cried outside the city with broken limbs and broken arms, lying on the squadron and asking in a row, "What's wrong with you?"

"The Qin army is here, the Qin army is here-" The soldiers cried and howled, and the soldiers guarding the city were so scared that their faces were ashamed, their bodies shivered, and their morale plummeted for a moment.

The sound of horse hooves and howlings turned into a heavy rain, and countless black lightning rushed out of the darkness. Gao Qi only felt that there were stars in front of him, and he almost fainted on the ground. In this case, he would never dare to open the city gate and put the defeated soldiers into the city. Who knew if there were spies from the Qin army mixed in it?

"Pull arrows, shoot arrows, no one is allowed to approach the moat, shoot me!" Gao Qi ordered, and the stones and wood rolled on the top of the city, and arrows burst out, and Zhao Jun, who wanted to enter the city, immediately lay down. While crying and wailing, the city began to yell, "Grandma, I'll work hard for Zhang Er, starving and freezing, and they still shoot us with arrows. Let's surrender to the Qin army, it's against!"

"It's reversed, it's all reversed-"

"Kill Zhang Er, kill the dog's god--" There was a sound of turning against the enemy under the city. Gao Qi heard clearly, but he had no choice. The Qin army descended from the sky, causing him to be in chaos and at a loss.

"Hurry, go and report to the king!" Gao Qi was frightened by the crazy rebels and took two steps back and almost fell down the horse path. Immediately, two personal soldiers ran to the city, rode on war horses, and rushed towards the palace.

The Qin army outside the city had basically been assembled, with the sound of war drums and shouting and killing. Wang Ben commanded the well-trained Qin army to quickly set up a formation and launch an attack five miles away. The ladders and chariots and other tools were available. The shield soldiers were roaring forward, obviously they had already been ready. The Zhao army on the top of the city did not even have time to take a breath. The light of torches immediately sparked the prairie, and the Qin army, which were all over the mountains and fields, formed a square formation and rushed over, and was about to collide with the defeated Zhao soldiers under the city. Wang Ben raised his arm, and rows of neatly worn heavy armor and holding dull archers were about to start shooting. The defeated Zhao soldiers suddenly remembered a tide: "Qin people, don't shoot arrows, we surrender, we are willing to be the vanguard army to attack the city."

The soldiers of Zhao made such a decision purely out of helplessness. The Zhao people shot arrows on the top of the city, and the Qin people shot arrows behind them. They were dead when they advanced and died when they retreated, and only the only way to surrender was left.

Wang Ben was overjoyed and waved his flags in his hand. The drums that represented the suspension of the attack immediately sounded. The five rows of archers and tens of thousands of archers stopped in unison. With a sound of sound, they squatted on the ground and stood on standby. As soon as the drums changed, a neat alley flashed between the surfers and shield soldiers, which was like a kitchen knife cutting tofu.

Wang Ben brought his horse out and said in a deep voice, "Give them two hundred ladders to attack the city, and they have rewarded their achievements! If you have two hearts and I will kill you in just a few breaths."

When the defeated soldiers of Zhao saw Wang Ben, sitting upright, holding a golden helmet and a blood-stained sword in his hand, holding a blood-stained battle knife, holding a white and pleasing chest, and being white and pleasing, he was also majestic. He also heard that he was the number one general in the world. He was afraid and respectful in his heart. All he had gritted his teeth and said harshly, "General, we will hold Zhang Er, the bastard, even if we die, and he will bring us a hardship." Wang Ben took the opportunity to raise his arms and shout, "Those who capture Zhang Er alive will be granted ten thousand households and rewarded thousands of gold; those who kill Zhang Er will be granted thousands of households and rewarded thousands of gold!" Qin army fortification soldiers threw two hundred cloud ladders in front of the defeated soldiers of Zhao. After hearing the generous treatment announced by Wang Ben, the courage doubled, and with full of anger and hatred, he picked up the cloud ladder and rushed to the moat.

Gao Qi kept shouting on the top of the city, "Crazy, you are all crazy, you are counter-shooting - shoot arrows, shoot them to death-" The soldiers on the top of the city couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to see their former comrades rushing over like wild beasts with red eyes. The speed of the arrows in their hands slowed down. No matter how Gao Qi ran and scolded her with a sword, he could not stop the torrent of soldiers under the city from rushing through the moat.

The bows and arrows on the top of the city were still dense, and even the ladders on the moat were shot out by several. The problem is that the defeated soldiers of the Zhao State were already at the end of their journey, becoming a group of mad beasts that only knew how to sprint wildly, like a herd of bison chased by lions on the grassland, rolling up sand and soil, rushing forward regardless of life and death. Without armor or shields, staring at arrows that were denser than raindrops to attack the city. In a while, the moat turned blood red, and in the blink of an eye, the entire river was cut off. Gao Qi was simply stunned. These Zhao troops had never been so brave and fearless in his impression. Could it be that the Qin army had eaten some poison for them or some witchcraft that made people lose their nature?

In any case, a large number of enemy troops have passed through the moat, and dozens of ladders have been erected on the city wall.

It was the first time that Zhang Er had slept so peacefully since the Qin army attacked Zhao. When he thought that he would join forces with Xiang Yu to completely eliminate the Qin army after the beginning of spring next year, the clouds wandering in his heart completely disappeared. In a daze, Zhang Er heard a scream of ghosts and wolves crying and wolves, "King, it's not good, the Qin army has attacked the city!" His voice was shrill and hoarse, as if the person who was speaking had done his best.

"Qin army attacked the city?" The moment Zhang Er jumped out of bed, cold sweat burst out from all the pores in his body. Zhang Er opened the door, and the soldiers who reported the news staggered in: "Master, it's not good. The three gates in the east, west and north are all surrounded by the Qin army. The Qin army is climbing the city, and General Gao can no longer resist it."

Zhang Er was also brave and knowledgeable. He was not scared to death like Shen Yang. He shouted with a cold face: "What a panic? At worst, you can die. Go and prepare your horse!"

Zhang Er rode his war horse and rushed to the east gate, hoping to find Gao Qi to discuss countermeasures. It was still five miles away, but he heard ghosts and wolves howling outside the city wall above the city. It was as if he had fallen into the eighteen levels of hell, which made him creepy and sweat. Countless injured deserters rushed into the alleys in the city. Fireworks were everywhere in the city, battle clouds were thick, and the blood was getting heavier and heavier. It was so thick that it could seal the eyelashes in the nasal cavity.

When Zhang Er arrived at the city, he saw that his heart was cold. Under the flames, the hand-to-hand combat on the city was already underway. Although there were no enemy soldiers snatching the horse road, the enemy on the cloud ladders emerged from time to time. Judging from this situation, it would not take long for the Qin army to open the beachfront position.

Zhang Er shook his saddle and quickly climbed the stairs soaked in blood. Gao Qi tied a white strap on his head. He just overturned a ladder with a big knife, and then threw the two Qin soldiers on the ladder to death. Drops of black blood flowed out of the straps sealed his right eye, and Gao Qi threw the straps away. When he turned around, he happened to see Zhang Er. He ignored the etiquette and shouted at the top of his throat. "Master, the Qin army doesn't know what came out of there. As soon as he came up, he attacked the city, and his brothers were beaten to death."

Zhang Er thought to himself that not only the brothers were beaten to death, but also the Qin army was beaten to death. Why did these bastards come just by saying that!

Zhang Er shouted, "Why did you cross the moat so quickly? What are your bows and arrows for?" He rushed up, half of his fat body poked out of the middle marsh and looked down. The city had become a blood-colored jar of Shura Hell. The plasma and gastrointestinal tract had accumulated into a red swamp. The heads rolled into the moat along the drainage canal, and countless Qin and Zhao troops climbed up along the ladder, as if dozens of centipede were hanging in the air.

Zhang Er said in surprise, "What's going on? Why are we our own people siegeing the city outside the city?"

Gao Qi sighed, "King, these people have no backbone, have surrendered, and are willing to use it for the tyrannical Qin." Zhang Er's ears were in a state of fire and gritted his teeth.

Gao Qi cut the Qin army who rushed to the city with a knife, turned around with his blood, and asked anxiously, "King, what should we do?" Zhang Er said calmly; "The army comes to cover the enemy's water and soil, I, Zhang Er, swore to live and die with Julu. General Gao, I will give you the command here. I went to the west gate to supervise the formation. The city is there, and the city is there and the city is dead."

Zhang Er said passionately, Gao Qi was instantly infected, and said in tears; "Don't worry, even if the last general dies, he will still pull Wang Ben to take the back." Zhang Er turned to the city and shouted, "We will unite as one, and the Qin army will definitely be defeated." These two sentences are sincere and touching. For a moment, the morale at Julu City actually improved, and the Qin army's offensive was set in a short period of time.

Zhang Er ran down the city tower and followed his personal soldiers and asked, "King, have you been to the West Gate to supervise the battle?" Zhang Er said sternly, "If you don't go to the West Gate, we will go to the South Gate, so that we need to supervise the battle there?" The personal soldiers didn't understand and said in confusion; "King, I heard that the South Gate was not attacked."

Zhang Er was furious and whipped the personal soldiers' faces: "What do you know? The soldiers are never tired of cheating. This is the trick of the Qin army. I have predicted that the South Gate will definitely be attacked. I will leave the city in advance to meet the enemy."

The personal soldiers still didn't understand it, but he didn't want to be whipped anymore, so he followed Zhang Er's war horse to "supervise the battle". Gao Qi on the top of the city was not a fool. He had known for a long time that Zhang Er would run away. Gao Qi watched Zhang Er rush to the south with thousands of Qin soldiers, and his heart was like a mirror in his heart, so he must go to Jiyuan to seek help.

The Qin army under the city rushed up in waves, just like the tides of the sea never ending, the back waves pushing the front waves, and it is more fierce than the other. The soldiers at the side of the squad fell down one by one, either half of their heads or half of their chests were hit by four or five powerful arrows at the same time. At the beginning, there were reserves constantly replenishing them, but the number of Qin army had an advantage and they attacked desperately. After an hour, the Zhao army, who suffered heavy casualties, was a little bit unattended. Gao Qi was getting fewer and fewer people around him. His big knife had cut out more than a dozen holes, and his arms were already sore and numb.

"When" the high-handed sword with a high-handed sword broke into three pieces and flew into the air. A white-bearded veteran under the city rushed up bravely with a big sword in his hand. As the white light flashed, the three Zhao troops guarding the battlement had turned into six sections. They cracked and a burst of blood and hail hit Gao Qi's face and body. The big sword still did not stop. With the angle changing, two archers were picked by the tip of the knife and threw them down the city. The arrows under the city seemed to be covering the old man's offensive. They shot towards the city in a arc, approaching the moat, and could not open their eyes. Countless Zhao troops were suppressed and squatted by the battlement and did not dare to get up.

"Clang!" A sound of tearing gold and splitting silk exploded. A long sword slashed to the high, and in his busy schedule, he flashed to the left. The long sword rubbed against the city wall behind the high level, and the sharp and white knife tips and the bluestone city wall rubbed brilliant sparks.

"Wang Ben, you are Wang Ben!" Gao Qi rolled on the ground, grabbed a spear, and rushed towards Wang Ben with a man and a spear. While Wang Ben knocked the spear, his right foot was lifted up and kicked Gao Qi's body that had come up. He turned his blade and changed his steps. He drew a circle on the spot. Three Zhao soldiers who surrounded and strangled him were different. Gao Qi was shocked and shocked Wang Ben. Wang Ben made repeated moves, and the soldiers of Zhao State fell to the ground one after another. The killing range within one meter was actually a blood river of death. More than a dozen corpses were added in a few breaths, and many Zhao soldiers did not dare to rush up.

It was in these few breaths that the Qin army behind Wang Ben rushed up and quickly radiated on the horse road, killing all the Zhao soldiers surrounding Wang Ben, like wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, killing and raging at will, no one can take action. Gao Qi waved his sword and killed two Qin soldiers, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "General Wang, we surrender, Zhang Er ran away, we will no longer work hard for him. Please allow us to surrender. The last general is willing to lead his troops to capture Zhang Er."

When Zhao Bing heard that Zhang Er had run away, he was even less interested in fighting. Several Zhao Jun, who were slightly slow to respond due to stimulation, immediately became the ghost under Qin Bing's sword.

Wang Ben heard Gao Qi's scream in amid the shrill scream of death, and said with a heart-warming voice; "If you have sincerity, order your soldiers to put down their weapons."

Gao Qi knew that there was not much time, and there were more and more Qin soldiers around him, so he was sure of breaking the city, so he hurriedly shouted: "Put down the weapon, King Zhao has run away, you all put down your weapons and surrender." The soldiers beside Gao Qi helped and fell down one after another. The soldiers at the chassis also gave up their resistance, knelt on the ground, and raised their weapons above their heads.
