Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 256 Attack the city with all-out efforts!

"Hahaha!"

"Thirty thousand!"

The guard laughed wildly, his eyes full of disdain, and shouted loudly to the soldiers standing around on the city wall:

"Sirs, these 50 Chu troops have nothing to be afraid of. We in Nanyang County with less than 3 people resisted the offensive of their 50 Chu troops, and killed [-] of their Chu troops. You are all Great Qin The hero is the warrior of Nanyang County!"

"Long before the Chu army attacked the city, I had already sent people to ask for help from the surrounding counties. Now there are armies of the four countries at Hangu Pass and the army of Chu in Nanyang County. These bastards from the six countries all want to take advantage of Qin's current crisis. Invade our Qin border and seize our Qin land!"

"These lands are the hard work of the kings of the Qin Kingdom and the ancestors of the old Qin people for generations. They must not be taken away by these bastards. The soldiers and I will defend until the last moment and fight to the last man!"

When countless soldiers heard the words of the guard, their brave and warlike hearts suddenly burned again, and they held the bronze sword in their hands tightly.

The territory of Great Qin was obtained with the blood of the Old Qin people for generations. How could we just let others take it away like this!

The people of Lao Qin have never been greedy for life and afraid of death!

At this moment, facing the 50 Chu army, all the soldiers did not have the slightest fear in their hearts, and their eyes were full of determination!
A soldier with a broken arm staggered to his feet, excitedly raised the weapon in his hand with his remaining willpower, and roared loudly: "Kill! I swear to live and die with Nanyang County!!"

Countless soldiers turned their heads to look, and upon seeing the soldier with a broken arm, their inner fighting spirit was completely aroused.

The soldiers standing on the city wall raised their weapons and shouted:

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Countless soldiers shouted with firm belief at the same time, and the sound resounded throughout Nanyang County.

Even some people standing under the city couldn't help but clenched their fists when they heard the determined roar, and the fighting spirit in their hearts that had been retreating burned again.

Most of these people were retired from the battlefield. At this moment, their hearts that had not fought for a long time were once again awakened by this cry.

For a time, the people in Nanyang County were no longer afraid, picked up the weapons around them and ran towards the city wall.

Some older people even went directly to the city gate to help the soldiers defend the city gate.

In an instant, all the veterans in Nanyang County and the elderly in the city joined in the war to defend the territory.

The original 5000-strong garrison that defended the city more than doubled, reaching nearly 5000 people.

The guards standing on the city wall looked at the people on the city wall in front of them, with a look of relief on their faces. With the participation of these people, they could hold on one more point, kill one more enemy, and prepare for the arrival of the army. Buy some time.

Even if the army failed to arrive in time in the end, even if he died in Nanyang County, there would be no regrets!
The guard immediately raised his weapon and shouted loudly to everyone: "Soldiers, we live and die together! Defend Nanyang County to the death!"

at the same time.

Outside Hangu Pass.

General Wang Jian stood on the city wall, looking at the mountains of corpses under the city and the wounded and wailing Qin soldiers on the wall, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

In the past few days, the armies of the four countries have continuously launched attacks, and were repeatedly repelled.

Attacked again and was repulsed again.

It was expected that the morale of the enemy's attack would weaken with successive defeats.

Who would have thought that this time the soldiers of the Four Kingdoms Army would not be like before. If they could not attack for a long time, their morale would be weakened.

On the contrary, this time the armies of the four countries became more and more courageous in the battle, and even almost attacked the city wall several times under the cover of Linche.

If it hadn't been for the last use of a powerful crossbow to pull Linche over the city with all his strength, I'm afraid the armies of the Four Kingdoms would have already climbed onto the city wall.Why are the armies of the four countries so united this time?
If the fighting continues like this, the food and supplies will be exhausted within a few days.

Once there is no food and grass, even he has no absolute certainty that he can hold on to Hangu Pass.

If Hangu Pass is lost, even if Yingjun comes back, it will not change the desire of the armies of the four countries to attack the capital of Qin.

The several cities in the rear are far inferior to the terrain of Hangu Pass, with plains on all sides.

At that time, a city was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and even Wang Zijun's bravery alone could not withstand the siege of the armies on all sides.

While Wang Jian was thinking, a scout strode towards him from behind.

"General, the provisions and baggage have been sorted out!"

The scout lowered his head, handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Wang Jian, bowed and said, "The food and fodder we bring can still sustain the army for ten days!"

Ten days!

Wang Jian received the battle report, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and his face gradually became heavy.

At that time, in order to be on guard against the Chu State, he gave Meng Ao's army seven more days of food and grass than they had originally provided for twenty days.

It would be okay if the Chu State did not send troops. Once it sends troops to attack the Qin State, a large army will inevitably arrive. By then, the pressure on Meng Ao's side will not be less than that of Hangu Pass.

Meng Ao only had an army of 20. If the Chu State invaded with a large army and wanted to defend Nanyang County with an army of 20, they would have to fight a war of attrition. In this way, food and grass would become extremely important.

Originally, Wang Jian wanted to take advantage of the disunity of the Four Kingdoms Alliance to send troops to attack the Four Kingdoms camp.

However, after three days of fierce fighting, the enemy troops became more and more fierce, without any fear, and the four countries showed no signs of falling apart.

If this continues, Hangu Pass will become a protracted war of attrition.

In this way, Wang Zijun's food and grass are particularly important to the army.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian quickly turned his head and asked impatiently: "Can the scouts sent to Xianyang come back?"

This scout was sent out by Wang Jian on the second day of the battle, partly to convey the news about Hangu Pass.On the other hand, it is to inquire about Wang Zijun's situation. As long as Wang Zijun returns to Qin, the problem of grain and grass crisis at Hangu Pass can be temporarily solved.

The scout shook his head and said firmly: "He hasn't come back yet!"

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was a noise on the city top, and the enemy troops began to attack the city again.

The soldiers on the entire Hanguguan city wall were in a hurry again. Everyone immediately picked up their weapons and quickly reached various locations on the city wall.

Wang Jian looked at the approaching army under the city wall, as well as the four or five approaching vehicles and siege vehicles, holding the sword tightly on his body.

The offensive of the armies of the four countries has not diminished, but has become more aggressive every time.

And this time the offensive is even more fierce than the last time!

Not just a temporary vehicle, a siege vehicle...

Even the number of soldiers invested has increased a lot, far from what it was before.

Looking at the flags of Zhao, Han, Wei, and Yan below, as well as the different armors, Wang Jian's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted to the soldiers on the city wall: "Quick, all the troops are on the city to defend!"

Do not!
This time was different from before. It was no longer a single team charging into battle.

Instead, all the armies of the four countries have joined the battlefield, planning to attack the city with all their strength!
