Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 348 The attack on the city is imminent!
"kill!"

"Come on!"

Countless Qin soldiers raised their shields and charged towards the city wall under the overwhelming offensive.

The reason why the Qin Army is called the Tiger and Wolf Army by other countries is that in addition to the king's ambition, the general's decisiveness, and the bravery of the soldiers, it also has a world-famous killing weapon!
That's Qin Jian!
Qin's crossbows are the best among the six countries in terms of range and power, and are extremely powerful.

Especially the heavy crossbow fired by the giant ballista is even more powerful.

call out!call out!call out!
Under the cover of [-] crossbowmen, countless arrows fell overwhelmingly toward the top of the city wall, either hitting the city wall or hitting the enemy.

However, in addition to countless arrows, catapults and giant ballistae also began to show their power one after another!
Large groups of shadows came overwhelmingly, and countless Zhao troops on the city wall were horrified when they saw this scene!
"Quick, run away!"

Countless soldiers shouted subconsciously, trying to escape.

However, the advantage of large numbers has also turned into a disadvantage. There are so many soldiers on the city wall that it is impossible to completely avoid this intensive offensive.

Boom boom boom!
Pieces of burning flint hit the city wall one after another, and the wall collapsed. Countless rubble flew everywhere, and screams continued to sound.

Even some Zhao soldiers were unable to dodge and were smashed into meat pies by the sudden huge flint without even letting out a scream.

Under the double cover of giant crossbows and catapults, the Qin army charging under the city wall was relieved of a lot of pressure. Some Qin soldiers directly picked up the ladders that Zhao Jun had thrown on the ground and ran forward!

Finally, under the cover of a fierce offensive, the Beiwei army rushing at the front arrived at the city wall and began to set up ladders.

Dian Wei stood under the city wall, suddenly raised his halberds, and shouted loudly at the surrounding Qin troops: "Everyone, listen to my order and charge for me!"

Rumble!
Countless infantrymen rushed towards the city wall like crazy!

Although a siege battle is much more dangerous than a battle between two armies on the ground, they also understand that this is also their best opportunity to establish military exploits!
What's more, the Zhao army on the city wall has had a deep hatred with their Qin army for decades. Some people even have the blood of their ancestors on their hands. This is also an opportunity for them to take revenge.

"rush!"

"Come on!!"

Countless soldiers rushed madly toward the top of the city wall through ladders and vehicles.

At this moment, the Zhao army on the wall gradually recovered and began to counterattack the Qin army under the wall.

Countless arrows, rolling logs, rocks, and hot kerosene and other defensive equipment were constantly thrown down from the city wall.

However, it was still difficult to stop the Qin army's offensive below the city wall.

Soon, more Qin troops began to climb the ladders one after another, hoping to quickly climb the city wall!

When the generals on the city wall saw this scene, they didn't care about anything else. They kept roaring at the surrounding Zhao troops, and constantly dispatched troops to kill the Qin troops who were climbing the ladder.

Just as Zhao Jun on the city wall was organizing a large army to defend, a scout quickly ran towards the top of the city wall, looking around with panic on his face.

Finally I saw Lian Po's figure in the middle of the city wall, and ran over quickly.

"Report!!"

"Urgent report!!"

The scout quickly came to Lian Po and reported loudly: "General, there is news from Langmeng and Julu. The Qin army's offensive is too fierce and they will not be able to defend it. Please ask the general to send troops for assistance!"

"what!"

Lian Po shouted angrily.

According to the information obtained before the war, the total number of Qin troops who attacked Langmeng and Julu was only 15. However, there were [-] troops in Langmeng and Julu. How could these Qin troops alone defeat them?

Is it...

Lian Po's expression suddenly changed.A bad premonition came over me.

They got the news as early as Qin's expedition.

This time the Qin State assembled an army of 50, but now only 20 troops appeared in their Zhao territory, and the remaining 30 troops were missing.Although Shicheng is a fortress of Zhao State, it is not the main way for Qin army to enter Zhao State.

If Yingjun secretly dispatched 30 troops to attack Langmeng and Julu under the guise of attacking Shicheng.

With the strength of the Qin army, Langmeng and Julu will inevitably fall.

By then, whether the Qin army continues to advance forward or chooses to besiege Shicheng, Shicheng will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Lian Po looked at the scouts with a somewhat panicked look, and asked hurriedly: "How many troops did Qin send to the two places?"

The scout swallowed and said tremblingly: "Qin... the Qin army has not sent more troops!"

"impossible!"

Lian Po raised his hand and looked at the scouts resolutely: "If the Qin army did not send more troops and the defenders in Langmeng and Julu were enough to deal with it, how could they ask for help from me?"

Siege warfare is inherently easy to defend but difficult to attack. The cost paid by the attacking party is much greater than that of the defending party. It can even be said that one's life is exchanged for one's life.

Without sufficient troops, it would be impossible to capture the city.

What's more, the strength of the defenders in Langmeng and Julu is much higher than that of the Qin army. When in danger, they can call on the people from the city or surrounding cities to defend together.

How can an army of tens of thousands of people alone defeat a city with 10,000+ defenders?

Lian Po suddenly pulled out his sword, put it on the scout's neck, and shouted sternly: "If you dare to lie about the military situation again, I will kill you immediately!"

The scout's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He quickly lay on the ground and said: "General, everything I said is true. The Qin Army did not send any reinforcements. These Qin Army are extremely powerful. , the crossbows equipped with them are also extremely powerful, and the soldiers in the city are simply unable to resist them!"

At this moment, a soldier quickly ran towards the two of them, knelt on the ground and said, "General Qi, the Qin army is preparing to break the city!"

When Lian Po heard this, he immediately walked to the city wall.

I saw a heavy and huge siege vehicle, driven by countless Qin troops, slowly approaching the city gate.

Lian Po held the sword in his hand tightly and looked at the scout kneeling behind him, his face suddenly darkened.

Obviously there are only tens of thousands of Qin troops under the city, but they are still able to face their 20 troops with ease. Even the strength of these Qin troops is no less than that of Zhao troops.

In particular, these Qin army's crossbows were much more powerful than before, and even their tens of thousands of archers could not suppress them.

Now the three cities are facing the Qin army's offensive at the same time. If Shicheng allocates its troops to assist the other two cities, it will inevitably be in trouble.

Lian Po took a deep breath and looked at the scouts with a clear gaze: "Go quickly and pass on the order. Ask the guards in Julu and Langmeng to recruit the people on the spot and ask them to help repel the enemy. When I repel this Qin army, The army will send troops to support immediately!”

"Yes!"

The scout wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately turned around and left.

Looking at the siege vehicles approaching from the front, Lian Po gave an order: "Archers, suppress the Qin army's offensive!"

"Chang Geshou, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Military orders were passed on one after another.

Countless arrows kept shooting at the Qin army.

But even so, they still couldn't stop the charge of these Qin troops.

The siege vehicles, driven by countless Qin troops, continued to approach the city gate.

200 meters!
100 meters!

50 meters!
At this moment, Zhao Jun on the city wall looked at the fearless Qin Jun below, and gradually began to feel a little panicked and uneasy.
