Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 248 The ladder arrives and the army ascends the city!
Whoa!
With an order, thousands of Wei army soldiers rushed out from the rear of the army carrying long ladders in teams of ten.

Pang Juan looked at the ladder team rushing out, immediately drew his sword and pointed forward and shouted: "Archers, follow, cover the army!!"

As soon as the words fell, [-] archers quickly rushed out of the Wei army's formation, following closely behind the ladder army with solemn expressions.

"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of troops rushed majestically towards the wall of Hangu Pass without any fear on their faces.

Nine miles!

Seven miles!

Five miles!

Pairs of Wei troops carrying ladders kept approaching the bottom of the city wall.

under the city walls.

The vanguard soldiers of Wei Wu held up their shields and formed a defensive wall.

The arrows on the city tower were like a heavy rain, densely shooting at the Wei soldiers under the city wall.

"Ugh~"

"呲~"

"Ah~"

Arrows passed through the gaps, and Wei soldiers continued to die in this fierce arrow rain attack.

Due to the continuous reduction in the number of people, Wei Wuzu's phalanx gradually shrunk from the original phalanx of ten thousand people to a formation of several thousand people.

At this time, without the aid of the ladder, this group of Wei soldiers were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They could only hold up their shields and guard the bottom of the city wall.

"Where's the ladder?"

A captain stood in the shield formation, watching Wei soldiers fall one after another. His eyes were full of anxiety and he roared: "Why hasn't the ladder come yet?"

A soldier beside him hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at the army of ladders in the distance behind, and said hurriedly: "Captain, the ladders are already on the way."

The captain turned around and saw that thousands of Wei soldiers were carrying ladders towards them. There was a hint of joy on his face, and he quickly shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Wei soldiers, stand in formation and defend the ladders." Climb the city as soon as the army arrives!"

"Here!"

As soon as the words fell, the phalanx of Wei Wu soldiers suddenly changed their formation and gathered tightly together.

A large space was left open between the two square formations to make way for the ladder behind them.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Thousands of soldiers carrying ladders at the rear looked at the space that had been reserved in front of them, accelerated their marching pace, and ran quickly towards the bottom of the city wall.

Wang Jian stood on the city wall and looked at the army of ladders that was about to arrive in front. A sharp look flashed in his eyes and he shouted loudly: "Archers, obey the order, target the army of ladders."

At this moment, these Wei soldiers carrying ladders were more of a threat than the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers under the city.

Once the ladder arrives, the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers below can use the ladder to climb the city wall.

The order will be issued!

Swish swish!
The Qin army archers on the city tower who were shooting at the Wei soldiers below the city changed their targets and stared closely at the Wei army soldiers who were rushing towards them carrying ladders.

Looking at the approaching army of ladders, Wang Jian suddenly raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Let go!"

With an order, tens of thousands of archers loosened their bowstrings in unison, and arrows flew out immediately.

咻咻 咻 ~
Tens of thousands of arrows were like a black rainstorm, covering the sky and flying toward the army of ladders in the distance.

The general who commanded the ladder army looked at the black rain of arrows above his head, his face suddenly changed, his eyes were full of panic, and he quickly shouted: "Shield Soldiers!"

"Where are the shield soldiers?"

"Quick, quick..."

"Pfft~"

Before the general finished speaking, an arrow penetrated his chest directly from behind. With eyes full of horror, he lowered his head and looked at the arrow on his chest that had penetrated his armor, and slowly fell to the ground.

Then, two, three...

The arrow rain came in an instant, and countless Wei soldiers carrying ladders fell to the ground one after another, and the ladders in their hands also fell.

Even some of the shield soldiers in the rear were shot to the ground by arrows before they could even raise their shields, their faces full of ferocity.

"Let it go!"

Wang Jian looked at the army of ladders in front of him expressionlessly and shouted.

All the soldiers of the Qin army quickly changed their arrows and shot out the arrows in their hands again.Wave after wave of arrows continued to shoot towards the army, falling on the soldiers, arms, legs... even the surrounding open space was full of arrows.

"Uh~"

"Ah~"

For a moment, the entire battlefield was enveloped in hysterical screams and wails.

"Archer cover!"

Looking at the retreating army, the commander hurriedly shouted angrily: "Charge, keep charging, don't stop the army, anyone who dares to retreat will be punished by military law!"

"The archers counterattack and cover the advance of the army!"

The soldiers rushed forward one after another, lifted the ladder on the ground and rushed forward.

Each ladder was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers holding shields, and countless arrows were blocked.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Taiyun Cloud Ladder quickly quickened their pace and ran towards the bottom of the city tower.

Three miles!

Two miles!

The soldiers of Wei under the city wall looked at the approaching army of ladders, with a look of resignation on their faces.

Several soldiers carried the ladder, and the ladder quickly rested against the city wall.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

One ladder after another rested against the wall of Hangu Pass.

When the Wei soldiers and generals at the bottom of the city saw the ladder approaching, they immediately drew their swords, pointed at the Qin army above their heads and shouted: "Soldiers, ascend the city!!"

"Kill!!!"

Countless Wei soldiers took out their swords from their waists and quickly climbed up the ladder towards the city wall.

Wang Jian looked at the Wei troops climbing up the city wall one after another. There was no trace of panic on his face. He glanced at the Chang Ge soldiers who were preparing to attack and shouted sternly: "Push!"

"push!!!"

Countless generals shouted to the soldiers under their command.

Swish swish!
The archers put away their long bows and quickly retreated from the battlements to the rear.

"push!!"

Countless Changge soldiers raised their Changges and charged forward with shouts.

A long sword was pressed heavily against the ladder.

"One, two, push!"

The Changge soldiers shouted in unison, using all their strength to push the ladder leaning against the city wall.

The faces of those Wei Wu soldiers who were climbing suddenly changed when they saw Chang Ge on the ladder, and they quickly accelerated their climb.

"Quick, quick!"

One Wei army officer after another followed closely behind him.

A soldier looked at the rickety ladder and the battlements close at hand, and accelerated his pace.

At this moment, the ladder quickly fell behind him.

When the soldiers on the ladder saw this, they immediately jumped towards the bottom of the city wall.

"boom!"

Pushed by the soldiers on the city wall, the ladder quickly fell backward.

"Boom~"

The ladder fell heavily to the ground.

Those soldiers who were standing on the ladder and had no time to escape were instantly smashed into a pool of flesh and blood by the heavy ladder.

As the ladders were pushed down one after another, the Wei soldiers and other Wei soldiers under the city wall were in a mess, trying to dodge in a hurry.

Wang Jian stood at the top of the city, looking at the chaotic Wei army below the city, and immediately led the troops: "Prepare the kerosene!"

The generals around him also gave orders to their soldiers:
"Fire oil!"

"Quick, put on the kerosene!"
