Chapter 906 Xiangping
In March, Liaodong is no longer so bitterly cold.

Everything in the world is waking up, and Qin Jun is naturally waking up too.

After a winter of training, the new army looks quite elite. These people can survive in Liaodong, and they are strong in themselves.

The Xianbei people are also ready.

Murong Xianbei, Duan's Xianbei, together with the supporting Goguryeo and Yeji barbarian troops, there are as many as [-] troops in Xiangping City.

Murong Xianbei's waist straightened again.

Forty thousand Qin troops attacked the fortified city defended by 6 people, but the defenders were still unable to retreat.

It's also a wonder.

But no one thought it was wrong, Qin Jun could overwhelm them and make them breathless.

Of course, as long as Ma Long raises his arms, it is not difficult to recruit a hundred thousand troops in an instant, but his strategy of using troops is similar to that of Yang Zheng, and the soldiers are more expensive than expensive.

With more people, the pressure on food and grass will increase, and the combat power will decrease instead.

Ma Long didn't mobilize a powerful army, but he gathered all the powerful leaders who entered Liaodong, as well as the tribes who loved the Great Qin, to watch the battle together.

"Xiangping City is so fortified that the enemy is firmly defending it. It will take at least half a year to break through." The tyrants whispered.

Some people are rejoicing that Ma Long didn't let them be the vanguard, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for half a year, and the Ma Dudu is so entrusted, I am afraid it will be difficult to end..."

There was some regret in everyone's gloating expressions.

Malone's defeat was not a good thing for them either.

Everyone who comes out to make a fortune is a grasshopper on a rope.

But Malone's thoughts were never beyond their comprehension. Throughout the winter, in addition to training soldiers, Malone also ordered military craftsmen to build more than 200 improved catapults, which could be disassembled and reassembled.

Under Xiangping City, all kinds of siege equipment are lined up.

More than a hundred cavalry rushed two hundred steps away from the city wall and shouted in unison: "Liaodong has been the land of China since ancient times, and Xianbei has also been a concubine of the Central Plains. Now that China is unified, the Great Qin Dynasty is in full swing. If you descend early, you will still be a Marquis." , resist stubbornly, and when the city is broken, kill them all!"

The voice was majestic and murderous, and more than a hundred people shouted out the effect of thousands of people.

The defenders above the city, and the tycoons and tribes watching from below the city were all shocked.

Of course, no matter how magnificent the momentum is, it is impossible for Xiangping City to surrender, and there is no way for the Xianbei and Goguryeo people to retreat.

Until the last moment, I will always be lucky.

Malone shook his head and swung his arms forward.

The messenger flew away, and the drums roared.

The clanging of armor and dense footsteps sounded like a torrential rain, and a blackness surged towards Xiangping City.

After more than three months of training by Ma Long, the new army was completely reborn.

The soldiers' eyes were firm, and they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. More than [-] people moved like arms and fingers, without any disorder.

The awe of the tyrants towards Ma Long deepened.

There are quite a few generals who can fight these days, but those with such a strong training ability are very few.

The flag was waved, the catapult began to roar, and the black oil tanks crossed the clean sky and smashed into the city, with black juice flowing slowly.

The Xianbei people had never seen this kind of thing before, so they thought it was ordinary kerosene.

Then a row of rockets whizzed forward, the city wall boomed, and flames soared into the sky.

The entire east wall of Xiangping City was on fire.

Fierce fire oil and briquettes were constantly thrown towards the city wall, and the huge flames even burned the sky red, like a miracle descending on the world.

"Todd—"

The tribal chieftains who came to observe knelt down on the ground one after another.

The fire burned for a full two hours before it was slowly extinguished. At this time, there was no one alive on the city wall.

"attack!"

The shouts of the orderlies came one after another.

"Ho, ho, ho..."

Dozens of ladders were pushed forward, and Qin Jun calmly stepped onto the city wall with swords and shields.

At this time, the defenders also boarded from the city, and the two armies frantically strangled together.

The Xianbei people also know that at the last moment, they are quite tenacious, and there are people behind them to boost morale, "The Qin people have already said that on the day of breaking the city, everyone will be killed. If you die early or late, you will die. It is better to fight with the Qin army!"

Swords, spears, bows and crossbows wantonly harvested lives.

The Qin army is well-trained and equipped, but it can't hold back the enemy's large number of troops.

The two sides are evenly matched, and the kill is inextricably linked.

The brutal fight once again shocked Hao Qiang and Hao Chiefs.

Ma Long looked at the city wall calmly, without much ups and downs on his face. So far, there was not much suspense in this battle. The Xianbei people's frantic counterattack driven by fear was destined to not last long.

However, the Qin army's combat power has not yet fully unfolded.

The soldiers trained by myself naturally have a bottom line in their hearts.

As time went by, as Ma Long expected, the Xianbei people's will to resist and combat effectiveness continued to decline.

The Qin army also gradually adapted to the brutal fighting, and began to play the role of an array, and the cooperation between soldiers became more and more skillful.

The advantage is already slipping to the Qin army.

But at this time, there was a roar in the city.

A rain of arrows suddenly covered the sky, and then they were nailed to the city wall indiscriminately.

Regardless of enemy or friend, shoot them all!
The Qin army fell more than a hundred people, and the defenders fell four to five hundred people.

The second wave and the third wave of arrow rain followed one after another, and there were screams on the city wall.

Those wounded by the arrows wailed on the walls.

Malone frowned slightly, this way of fighting to the death was too shameless.

Of course, it does have some effect.

Maybe one arrow can't kill Qin Jun, but as long as it is injured, it is often more cruel than shooting directly.

Ma Long ruled the army strictly, but he also loved soldiers like sons. This kind of casualties is not good for the Qin army. The enemies in Liaodong are not limited to Xianbei people. There are too many casualties here, and the follow-up will be weak. "Retire the army."

"Captain..." The general didn't want to finish.

"Retreat," Malone repeated.

The generals didn't dare to say much, the sound of golden bells sounded, and the Qin army on the city retreated slowly.

More than 1000 people were killed, nearly [-] were killed, and countless wounded.

If Malone did not let them retreat, the remaining 4000 men would not be able to withstand a few waves of arrows.

"The thief sits trapped in an isolated city, and its power will not last long. If I attack quickly, the enemy will share the same hatred. If I attack slowly, the thief will chaos themselves!" Ma Long summoned the generals to appease him.

The Qin army has already demonstrated its ability to break through cities.

Xiangping City is no longer their reliance.

Sure enough, many people escaped from the city that night and were captured alive by the ambushing Qin army.

After being tortured overnight, the reality of the city was exposed. Many Xianbei people were no longer willing to fight, and deserters were increasing day by day.

The next day, the Qin army besieged the city again, shouting loudly, and the catapult was pushed to the front of the formation again.

"Down, down, down!"

There are voices of persuasion all over the mountains and plains.

Rows of Qin troops stood in silence at the foot of the city. Yesterday was just a trial, and today it is about to be real.

Qin Jun's momentum was obviously different.

The [-] Qin army stared at it like a tiger, like a beast that had been hungry for a long time, and was about to choose someone to eat.

At the rear of the infantry, [-] cavalry mounted their horses and waited silently, stabbing into the sky with long spears like a forest.

Their appearance meant that the defenders had nowhere to escape.

The defenders on the city cowered and hid behind the young battlements. A fire yesterday burned the yellow-brown city walls to black.

The cracks in the walls are like cobwebs.

Everyone knows that such a city can no longer resist...
