Qin Gong

Chapter 49 Siege
Among the army of Qin State.

Gui, Yu Sui and others stood in the phalanx, surrounded by soldiers of Qin State.

"You said, Yan will be in that phalanx?"

Zhuang Jing turned to look at Liang Lang and the others and asked.

"do not know."

Standing on tiptoe, Yu Sui took a look around and found that he couldn't see anything except the countless Chang Ge and Qin Qi in front of him.

"Should be in the phalanx near us."

Liang Lang spoke.

Just as the voice finished speaking, Liang Lang quickly shut up when he saw the phalanx generals in the distance looking over.

Yu Sui, Zhuang Jing and the others also quickly stood up straight.

Boom boom boom~! ! !

Accompanied by the sound of beating drums.

Yu Sui and the others listened to the sound of war drums, and felt their hearts almost jumping out.Looking at the city in the distance, they all knew the meaning of the drum beating.

This is to prepare for the siege!

Thinking of this, Yu Sui, who participated in the battle for the first time, all held their breath, feeling uncontrollably nervous.

Front of the army.

Bai Yan also heard the sound of war drums at this moment.

Naturally, Bai Yan also understood the meaning of this. He glanced at the vast Qin army behind him, and then one of the 'geng pawns' recruited in front of him had already set up the ladders for the siege.

Bai Yan counted, there were thirty cars in total.

Seeing such a large number of ladders, Bai Yan also heaved a sigh of relief, and looked towards the huge city in the distance.

The more siege ladders, the safer.

A general led hundreds of soldiers, quickly carrying buckets of muddy water, and ran to the ladder.

"Quick, quick!!"

Under the urging of the general, a 'Geng Pawn' poured buckets of muddy water on the ladder and the wooden frame of 轒辒.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yan knew that the muddy water was used to prevent the ladders and sluices from being burned down by the enemy before they got close to the city wall.

After a while.

Bai Yan soon heard the beating of war drums in the Qin army behind him getting more urgent and louder.

Apparently, several more war drums were beating.

Boom, boom, boom~! ! ! !
Bai Yan listened to the more and more rapid beating of the drum, and his breathing became a little short. Looking at the tower in the distance, he felt his heart beating very fast.

he knows.The more and more the beating of drums, it means that the city can be attacked.

Recalling General Yu's previous instructions, Bai Yan distanced himself from the other pioneer soldiers to ensure that he would not be squeezed in later.

A general was standing in front of Bai Yan and the others, listening to the beating of drums, he looked up at Qin's army, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, a messenger holding a command flag in the distance rode a horse and rushed here at high speed.

"The general has an order. Attack the city!"

Accompanied by the words of the messenger.

Looking at the city wall in the distance, and listening to the messenger's words, Bai Yan couldn't help but feel excited, and tightly grasped the Qin sword in his hand.

"Set off!!"

The general turned his head and shouted at Bai Yan and the others.

Bai Yan listened to the general's order, looked at the towering city tower in the distance, and ran towards the ladder first.

dong dong dong dong! !
The sound of beating drums filled my ears.Holding the Qin sword, Bai Yan was shot by thousands of pioneers, and quickly ran behind a ladder in the middle.

Next to the ladder.

A general pulled out Qin Jian and shouted.

"push!!"

Following the words of the general.

In an instant, the countless Qin soldiers standing beside the ladder began to push the ladder towards the tower.

Bai Yan also pushed the ladder together.

Behind Bai Yan, among the army of the Qin State, the phalanx of bows and crossbows, and the phalanx of infantry also gradually walked towards the city wall.

In the wilderness outside Yangcheng.

While pushing the ladder behind, Bai Yan looked at the distant city wall approaching little by little through the gap of the ladder.

Ten steps, fifty steps, a hundred steps.
As the distance from the city wall got closer, the figures on the city wall became clearer and clearer.

At a distance of four hundred steps.

Suddenly, Bai Yan saw countless black shadows flashing past on the city wall, remembered General Yu's words, and quickly put his body on the wooden board of the ladder.

next moment.

Bai Yan saw that thousands of arrows fell around like rain almost instantly.

"what!"

"Ah~ help me!"

There were screams and screams, and countless soldiers fell to the ground in the rain of arrows.

While pushing the ladder and continuing to walk, Bai Yan looked at the soldiers who were lying down and screaming, their faces were pale, their eyes were full of despair, and one or two arrows were stuck in their bodies.

Bai Yan knew what it meant to fall to the ground with an arrow on the battlefield.

But right now, no one dared to rescue them in the enemy's arrow rain.

As the ladder got closer and closer to the tower, arrows shot from the tower in an endless stream. One by one, the arrows flew around Bai Yan continuously, and then stuck in the ground.

The ladder in front of Bai Yan's body was full of arrows.

Some arrows with fire also began to appear at this time.When those flaming arrows are inserted on the ladder, the first thing to burn is not the ladder, but the arrows inserted on the ladder.

Not far behind Bai Yan, thousands of Qin soldiers, under the command of the general, also raised their bows and crossbows to fight back at the Korean soldiers on the tower.

shhhhhh~!

In an instant, thousands of arrows shot towards the tower.

If the goal of the Han soldiers on the tower was to destroy the ladders and 轒辒, then besides shooting the soldiers of Han on the towers, it was more important for the soldiers of Qin to cover the ladders close to the towers.

As for the soldiers of the Qin army holding bows and crossbows, although they all stopped to shoot arrows.But the pawns still followed Bai Yan and the others towards the tower.

Those thousands of infantry, if they rushed up the tower later, they would follow.And if the soldiers who were the first to snatch the "First Ascent" were all killed in battle, as long as the drums for retreating did not sound, they would also attack the city.

However, compared with the soldiers who competed for the 'First Achievement', these infantry are undoubtedly much less dangerous.

After all, they were not the main target of the enemy army, and even when they climbed the city later, either the first climbers had already fought on it, or the first climber soldiers were all dead, and the enemy troops on the tower were far less vigorous than before.

Either way, it's good for them.

What's more, if it's the latter, they might be able to pick up a bargain, just in case they can pick up a 'First Achievement'.

for a long time.

The ladder with flames finally leaned against the tower under the rain of arrows.

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he also understood.

The most difficult and dangerous thing to siege the city is not the rain of arrows, but the danger faced when climbing the ladder, and the countless enemy soldiers to face after climbing the tower.

"Siege!"

The general ordered.

Bai Yan took Qin Jian and came to the ladder.

Because there is only one person who has won the first prize.Everything else is secondary.

Therefore, before Bai Yan, there were already countless soldiers climbing up the ladder.Everyone wants to be the first to rush to the tower.

Bang~!

Accompanied by a loud noise, Bai Yan soon saw a wooden board full of sword blades falling from it.

Along with it, the soldiers who had climbed up before were also lying beside the ladder in pain, covered in blood.

"what!"

Bai Yan was looking at the soldier when he suddenly heard a horrible cry, and before he could raise his head, he felt something small fall on his neck.

Bai Yan felt a stabbing pain in his neck, gritted his teeth, didn't make a sound, and didn't dare to raise his head.

These are fine sands that have been burned by fire. Once these fine sands fall into the eyes, not to mention what will happen in the future, even in front of this battlefield, blindness is almost equivalent to losing one's life.

Hearing the screams of the soldier climbing up the ladder, Bai Yan saw that the soldier fell heavily onto the ladder.

Bai Yan was a little rejoiced that he didn't let Liang Lang and others come, this siege was a life-threatening one.

now.

Accompanied by more and more time, looking at the front there are people.

Bai Yan was vaguely worried, even anxious.

There was only one person who made the first ascent, and with these more than twenty ladders sticking together, sooner or later someone would rush up.

"on!"

After waiting for a long time, he finally heard the general let him go up.

Bai Yan heard the general's words, pulled out the Qin sword in his hand, and climbed up the ladder.
