Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 343: Go out of the city and destroy the enemy!

Looking at the hundreds of Beiwei troops in front who were still struggling to resist Zhao Jun's offensive, Ying Jun fiercely pulled out the Chixiao Sword from his waist and shouted:
"attack!!"

As the order was issued, the leader, Yan Da, took the lead in rushing out on his war horse.

Yanyun's Seventeenth Cavalry also followed closely behind.

"Come on!!!"

"rush!!"

The three hundred soldiers who were trapped in the battle also shouted and rushed out, holding a shield in one hand and a large sack of soil in the other, and charged towards the moat.

This moat was temporarily dug, but it was still two feet wide and three feet high, making it difficult to cross.

Therefore, if you want to get close to Stone City, you must first fill in the moat!
On the stone city wall!
Zhao Zong looked at the Qin soldiers not far away holding shields and carrying sacks, with a hint of contempt on his lips.

Carrying a sack filled with soil will not only slow down your running speed, but also your reaction speed will be greatly reduced.

What's more, we have to defend and advance at the same time.

These Qin troops are simply confident that they are dead, and they even want to fill in the moat in front of my 20 Zhao troops.

Zhao Zong snorted coldly and immediately shouted to the general beside him: "Send my order, archers prepare!"

After giving the order, countless archers set their arrows and stared closely at the charging Qin army not far away, waiting for these Qin soldiers to enter the range of their bows and arrows.

In front of the Qin army's formation, three hundred dead soldiers were charging forward without fear of death.

Ying Jun had already issued a military order, allowing thousands of crossbowmen and shield soldiers to march at the same time.

They not only have to cover the trapped soldiers, but also use their utmost strength to kill the enemy.

Under the brave and fearless charge of the army, the trapped soldiers soon entered the range of the Zhao army's bows and arrows!
"Fire arrows!"

As Zhao Zong shouted!
Suddenly, on the entire city wall, countless arrows rained down toward the Qin army who had entered the shooting range under the city wall.

"Shield Formation!"

The next second, countless Qin soldiers raised their shields to resist.

clang!clang!
For a moment, there was a crashing sound again.

But the three hundred soldiers who died in the battle still did not stop. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the soldiers quickly carried sacks of soil and approached the moat!
Hundreds of Beiwei troops standing guard by the moat looked at the soldiers rushing behind them, and quickly divided the shield formation into two rows to cover the army.

With the cover of crossbowmen and shield soldiers, the dead soldiers quickly arrived at the moat carrying sacks.

This place is only 100 meters away from the city wall, and is under the arrows of the city wall guards. The impact of the arrows is much stronger than before. In addition, the trapped men are slowing down while carrying the sacks, and they want to throw the sacks away. The movements when entering the moat are very difficult to fully protect.

Especially the dense arrows that are constantly shooting from the top of the city wall!
"Ugh!"

Soon, the screams of Qin soldiers continued to sound.

However, under the protection of shield soldiers, even if these soldiers are injured, as long as there is no fatal blow, they will be quickly guarded by the surrounding shield soldiers. Think about it, it is impossible to kill these Qin soldiers!
As the three hundred soldiers continued to quickly throw sacks one by one into the moat, the iron thorns and wooden cones placed in the moat were also being covered up.

After dozens of soldiers threw away the sacks containing soil in their hands, they quickly turned around and the next round of soldiers took over!

While countless Zhao army archers were shooting arrows, the Qin army also dispatched teams of crossbowmen one after another. Under the protection of shield soldiers, they reached the attack range of the crossbows.

"Shoot!!" Following the command of the Qin army general, countless crossbow arrows were shot from bottom to top towards the city wall.

After these crossbows were developed and improved by the Gongshu clan, their power and range have far exceeded the previous bows and arrows. Not only can they shoot directly onto the city wall, but they can also shoot twenty crossbow arrows in a row.

There were only a few thousand crossbowmen, but they showed as terrifying a fighting power as tens of thousands of people.

Facing the offensive of tens of thousands of archers on the city wall, they did not lose at all.

Densely packed arrows, like a tide, flew crazily towards Zhao Jun on the city wall.

Before the Zhao soldiers who showed up could react, they saw tens of thousands of arrows coming from all over the place. Before they even screamed, they were already lying on the ground.

For a time, screams echoed throughout the city wall.

The arrows of the Qin and Zhao armies kept flying at each other, and screams resounded throughout the stone city. Both armies suffered injuries.

The purpose of the Qin Army was to attack and defend in order to fill in the moat, while the Zhao Army organized the Qin Army to fill in the moat in order to kill as many enemies as possible, so other rolling logs and stones used for defense were not used. , otherwise it will only help the Qin army to speed up the filling of the moat.

Both sides did not show all their means and strength, but only chose to use bows and crossbows to suppress, so the casualties on both sides were not large.

Among the Qin army, Ying Jun looked calm and commanded the army in an orderly manner, throwing batch after batch of sacks into the moat.

This made Dian Wei standing beside him look extremely focused on learning, and his heart was filled with admiration.

Even Ge Nie, who had traveled around the world, had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Ying Jun's calm command.

Among the people he had seen, most of the people who could handle the enemy so calmly on the battlefield were experienced veterans. This was the first time he had seen a young general like Yingjun.

Generally, the party attacking a city, because they are under the city wall, lacks shelter and needs to move quickly, which is inherently disadvantageous for the army.

In addition, now we have to carry sacks of soil to fill up the moat. This journey has undoubtedly increased the difficulty. Not only will the attacks we suffer be much more violent than other soldiers, but the damage will definitely be greater than on the city wall. There are more defenders.

But he saw that under Yingjun's command, the number of casualties suffered by Qin soldiers was almost the same as that of the defenders on the city wall.

In this siege scene, he, a young general, was able to be so orderly, as if he was a veteran who had experienced countless battles on the battlefield.

It can even control the death and injury ratio of the army so well, which even veterans who have been fighting for many years cannot do this!
No wonder he can achieve such high prestige in the military!

At this moment, on the stone city wall.

Zhao Zong's face gradually became darker. He did not expect that Ying Jun was not only incredibly powerful at such a young age, he could also command in an orderly manner on the battlefield, and his experience on the battlefield was no less than that of General Lian Po.

The other party did not choose to use a ladder to set up a ladder on the bridge to quickly pass. Instead, they asked the army to continuously transport sacks and throw them into the moat.

This posture is obviously not willing to stop until the moat is filled!
But now besides suppressing him with bows and crossbows, there is no better countermeasure for the time being.

Unless, lead the army in the city to kill!

Otherwise, crossbows alone will not be able to stop these Qin troops, and it will only be a matter of time before the moat is filled.

After thinking again and again, Zhao Zong looked at the deputy general beside him and said in a deep voice: "Go and notify General Lian Po quickly and ask him to guard Shicheng!"

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "General Zhao, you..."

Zhao Zong looked at the Qin army under the city wall who were still filling the moat, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes: "I am going to go out and destroy these Qin troops!!"
