Chapter 578: The Power of the Sharp Warriors [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"The time has come! Go to the second camp and prepare!"

Wang Jian never missed the short opportunities he created.

The frontal attack was now severe, so Hu Zhe had to transfer defenders from other sections of the city wall.

Once the time is delayed, by the time Hu Zhe and the Zhao army come to their senses, they will not need to send too many people to garrison and the two death-defying troops will be defeated.

The opportunities created by my hard work over this period of time will be wasted.

So, the Qin army's drumbeats changed.

The frontal offensive became more and more intense. Soldiers were dying or being seriously injured and retreating on the battlefield all the time.

Siege warfare has always been extremely brutal, and even famous generals cannot avoid it.

Being able to capture a city with twice the number of enemy troops is considered a great victory, which is completely different from a field battle.

Yan Yan strolled on a high cliff outside Yanyu City, quietly watching the battle between the two sides.

He knew the siege would be brutal, but he didn't expect it to be this brutal.

He could hear the change in the Qin army's drumbeats.

But this is because he is standing on the outside and does not need to waste energy thinking about other things, so he can pay attention.

The Zhao army did not, because the chaotic drum sounds and shouts everywhere interfered with their hearing.

The sounds of the two extra drums did not attract the attention of the Zhao army.

"When the Bingzhou army goes to war in the future, we must set up an extra eavesdropping guard!" Yan Yan was observing the learners.

Just like now, there are two more big drums on the left and right sides of the Qin army, but no one noticed it.

Then, under the grass on the left and right sides of Yanyu City, two battalions of soldiers appeared, and they quickly ran to the bottom of the city wall with siege ladders.

A long ladder was placed on the city wall, and most of the soldiers on the wall had been withdrawn, resulting in them being unable to push down the ladder immediately. They could only continuously shoot arrows to kill the soldiers who were rushing towards the wall and climbing up the ladder like ants.

Gold juice, stones, and rolling logs were thrown down continuously, bombarding the soldiers who were climbing up the ladders.

Some Qin soldiers fell from the ladders, and some Zhao soldiers were shot and fell from the city walls.

Everyone was fighting back and attacking with all their might because of their different positions.

However, Yan Yan knew that these two sections of the city wall could no longer be defended.

Because there were figures gathering on the cliffs where the city walls on both sides were connected to the mountains, it was obvious that Wang Jian had arranged an ambush.

Just when the Zhao soldiers' attention was focused on the city walls, a group of fearless figures leaped over from the cliffs a few feet away and rushed towards the Zhao soldiers on the city walls.

For a moment, the left and right sections of the tower fell into chaos, and the Qin army climbed up the tower.

The first group of soldiers fought madly with the Zhao army and guarded the two ladders.

Under the ladders, Qin soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall, expanding the results of the battle.

The left and right sections of the city wall, from which most of the guards had been withdrawn, were quickly occupied by the Qin army.

But now is not the time for them to relax. The Zhao army in the middle also discovered the loss of the left and right ends, and quickly sent a large number of troops to encircle and suppress, intending to drive the Qin army back.

The war still continues.

"The number of Zhao soldiers is not less than that of Qin troops, but there are only so many people who can stand on the city wall. What should Wang Jian do? What should Hu Zhe do?"

Yan Yan was very curious, how would the siege end when it had reached this point?
The Feidu City Wall was just a surprise attack and could not determine the outcome.

"Sharp Warrior Battalion, move forward!"

Seeing that the dare-to-die soldiers had already opened up a small battlefield on the city wall and gained a firm foothold, Wang Jian finally sent the Qin decisive battle troops up. A group of silent and murderous soldiers wearing black soft armor, carrying long spears on their backs and long swords on their waists also climbed up the city wall by taking advantage of the battlefield opened up by the first climbers.

When the Qin soldiers entrenched on the city wall saw the arrival of the black armored soldiers, they gave up the narrow road and retreated to the rear.

The Zhao soldiers seemed to have noticed something was wrong and retreated.

Suddenly, a small blank area appeared on both ends of the city wall that was originally full of soldiers.

The State of Zhao seemed to have recognized the Qin elite soldiers and sent up shield guards, erecting another shield wall on the city wall.

However, this shield wall is no longer facing the city, but is perpendicular to the city wall.

"All the troops have been sent out for the decisive battle. It's obvious that the outcome will be decided today!"

Yan Yan also put away his mentality of watching the fun and carefully observed the decisive battle between the two sides.

The Qin warriors seemed to be waiting for the other side to form a battle formation.

"Drink~"

The orderly sound of shields falling seemed to be announcing the start of a great war.

So the Qin warriors began to attack, throwing the short spears behind them while running. In the process of running, they also drew out the long swords at their waists. The moment they came into contact with the Zhao shield guards, they jumped high and stabbed downwards.

The Zhao shield guards could only raise their large shields with difficulty in the hope of blocking the stabbing sword.

It’s a pity that the Qin’s long sword is a palm’s length longer than the swords of ordinary princes, and the speed of the Qin warriors’ sword drawing is also several points faster than some first-class masters.

The Qin warrior didn't even look at the target he stabbed. He used the power of the sword to do a somersault in the air, then suddenly pulled the sword out from the target and slashed forward.

For a moment, the two sides started fighting each other.

It’s a pity that the city wall cannot allow too many people to stand side by side, at most four people can stand together.

The Qin warriors were divided into groups of three, continuously attacking forward.

It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. No one could withstand the sword of the sharp warrior. Figures fell down one after another, and fell from the city wall.

"Is this the Great Qin Warrior?"

Yan Yan was also shocked.

These Qin warriors were like gods of death, with no sense of pain at all. They plunged themselves into the swords and killed people in the world of mortals.

Each warrior would stop attacking only after he had killed at least five people, and then his comrades would continue to move forward for him.

So, from Yan Yan's perspective, he only saw a group of Qin warriors leaping up on the city wall and running forward. Wherever they passed, they defeated the enemy in a single round, and soon the road they passed was covered with blood and corpses.

The Zhao army finally felt fear and kept retreating, but the city walls were crowded with soldiers, so where could they retreat to?
The Qin warriors would not stop attacking because of their fear, but would continue to kill forward relentlessly until all the warriors were used up, and then other soldiers would take their places and continue fighting.

The Zhao army was already frightened by the Qin elite soldiers. Even though they were no longer charging, they dared not move forward and kept retreating, retreating behind the city wall.

The Qin army finally reached Yanyu City, the gateway to Zhao State, which was known as the most powerful pass in the world.

"Is this the Great Qin Warrior?"

Yan Yan finally understood why the Wei Wuzu could not meet the Qin Ruishi.

Their attacks were unstoppable, and each person was able to unleash six or seven consecutive slashes at full strength in a very short period of time.

If a person behaves like this, he will surely die.

But they are a group of people!
