Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 349 Why did Meng Ao come?

Soon, the siege engines were pushed forward by everyone fearlessly.

Finally arrived at the city gate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Huge and terrifying crashes sounded, shaking the entire stone city.

With the cooperation of countless Qin troops, they hit the thick and extremely hard city gate one after another.

Since the loss of the capital of Handan, Shicheng has undoubtedly become an important line of defense for the State of Zhao. The materials used for the city gates are made of century-old giant trees in the deep mountains and old forests. The most popular materials used are white solid wood, guaiac wood, etc. Hard wood.

Even if it is poured and burned with kerosene, such a hard and heavy door cannot be burned down in a short period of time.

What's more, for the protection of the city gate, they also specially made fire prevention treatment, which can't be boiled with kerosene at all!
Therefore, the only way to use the impact method is to use the terrifying impact force of the siege vehicle to break the door bolt of the city gate from the inside.

As the siege engines hit again and again, the city gate trembled!

"Quick, shoot them to death, general."

"We must not let them break through the city gate!"

The general standing above the city gate kept shouting loudly, commanding the surrounding defenders to fire volleys at the soldiers pushing the siege vehicles below.

As soon as the soldiers responsible for pushing the siege truck fell down after being hit by arrows, someone immediately rushed up to fill their positions. Everyone roared loudly, pushed the siege truck with all their strength, and kept hitting the city gate.

Dian Wei's eyes turned red as he watched the countless soldiers around him fall down. He pointed at the top of the city wall and yelled angrily: "Archers, aim at the top of the city and suppress the Zhao thief's offensive!"

Countless crossbowmen raised their crossbows in unison, aiming at the city head and firing volleys!

However, these Zhao troops used the city wall as cover to easily avoid the Qin army's offensive. Even though there were casualties, they were much smaller than the Qin army under the city wall.

However, the fierce fighting was far from the city gate. Qin troops were standing under each charging car, each trying desperately to climb the city wall through the charging car.

The rest of the Qin army climbed up the ladder, holding up their shields to resist the attack from above, and kept climbing up.

Zhao Jun also continued to throw down rolling logs and stones from above, and even poured fierce fire oil directly down, falling on the ladder and igniting a raging fire, in order to rent out the Qin Army's offensive!

After it lasted for several hours, some Qin soldiers finally began to climb up the city from the ladders and chariots, and rushed to the city wall.

"kill!"

The Qin army jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the Zhao army crazily.

The city wall was already covered with Zhao troops. Seeing the Qin army suddenly coming, anger also arose in their hearts, and they immediately rushed together to kill them.

However, under the suppression of numbers, it was very difficult for the Qin troops who had just climbed onto the city wall to hold on to this section of the city wall!

However, as if they had seen hope, countless soldiers of the Qin army still persevered, fearlessly climbing up the ladders and charging towards the top of the city wall. Even though they knew it was a dead end, they still did not flinch at all.

He even sacrificed his life for his life and fought to the death with the Zhao army on the city wall!

For a time, miserable sounds of killing could be heard from all over the city wall.

And behind the army, the Qin army was in formation.

Gai Nie's face gradually became heavy as he looked at the Qin soldiers who were dying in front of him. The tragedy of this war was far beyond his imagination. Among the many wars he had seen, there had never been any soldiers from the two countries. To be so fearless.

But he also understood that only after this battle could Qin completely take the step of unification.

What's more, these Qin Army soldiers not only fought for military exploits, but also fought for their families and the long-cherished wishes of their ancestors.

Qin must win this battle!
Gai Nie held the long sword in his hand tightly, walked to Yingjun's side, bowed and said: "Gai Nie has devoted himself to you, sir, and you must fight for Qin. Please allow me to fight!"

Ying Jun looked at the fierce battlefield ahead with a calm expression, standing there clenching his fists without saying a word.

Seeing countless Qin soldiers fighting in bloody battles, even falling down the wall with the enemy in order to break through the city wall, he felt the same in his heart.

But in this troubled world with constant war, how could there be no casualties?

And the current casualties are just to achieve long-term peace. Only when the world is unified can eternal peace be achieved!
War is cruel!As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he must keep a clear head!As a future emperor, he must have a decisive attitude!

At this time, within the territory of Yan State.

Following the order from King Yan.

General Wu Cheng of the State of Yan assembled an army of [-] and arrived at the border of the State of Yan.

Just when the army was about to leave the country, a scout rode towards the army quickly on a war horse.

"Report!"

"There is military information ahead!"

The scout ran to Wu Cheng, quickly jumped off his horse, knelt on the ground and said, "General Qi, a large number of Qin troops have been spotted in the direction of Xuzhou!"

"The number of people is about one hundred thousand!"

"Xuzhou?"

Wu Cheng, the general of Yan State, murmured, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and asked in confusion: "Isn't Xuzhou a part of Qi State?"

"Why are there [-] Qin troops?"

The scout immediately replied: "My subordinates indeed discovered the Qin Army's camp outside Xuzhou City!"

Wu Cheng frowned slightly and continued to ask: "Can we find out who is leading the army?"

The scout hesitated for a moment, and then said quickly: "It's General Meng Ao of Qin!"

Wu Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Meng Ao!

He can be described as the god of war of Qin!
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he entered Qin as an official, led his troops on several expeditions, and made many military exploits.

Successively captured more than ten cities in South Korea, more than thirty cities in Zhao State, and more than fifty cities in Wei State...

With great military exploits, Qin Jun micro-needle has become one of the highest-ranked veterans in the army today!Its reputation has long been spread throughout the world!

I don’t know how many battles they fought with Zhao and how many cities they captured.

For them, Meng Ao is a figure that is difficult to resist. Unless their troops are far superior to him, or they are faced with veterans who also have decades of battlefield experience, it will be difficult to get an advantage from him once they encounter him. .

However, now that Qin and Zhao are at war, why did the Qin State send General Meng Ao to Qi?

And they still set up camp in Fangcheng, which is close to the border of Yan State. What is their purpose?

Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier quickly ran from the front.

"Report to the general, the Qin army sent people to ask for a meeting with the general!"

The soldier knelt on the ground and spoke hurriedly.

The deputy general who was standing aside quickly walked up, bowed and admonished: "General, our purpose this time is to take advantage of the war between Qin and Zhao to seize the city of Zhao. It is still inconvenient to meet Meng Ao in order to avoid being caught. Other countries are silent!"

Wu Cheng nodded slightly. Even so, veteran general Meng Ao led an army of [-] to station in Qi this time, and the purpose was still unknown.

What's more, in the previous battle at Hangu Pass, their country, Yan, also participated in the siege.

Who can guarantee that Qin’s [-] troops will not attack Yan!

Besides, a hundred thousand troops are still stationed in the territory of Qi. If Qi and Qin join forces, the consequences...

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Wu Cheng's forehead, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. He turned to look at the soldiers: "Go and bring that man quickly!"
