"The Yan army is finished!" Gongsun Nu withdrew his gaze.

If the Yan army could stop the Ruishi Battalion from climbing the city wall before they did, then perhaps they would still be able to fight.

In close combat, even the Zhonglei Camp of the Yulin Guards in the whole world may not be a match for the Ruishi Camp.

As for the Yan army, unless the ones defending the city were the Great Wall Garrison Corps, they might be able to rely on their numerical advantage to drive the Qin elite soldiers off the city walls. Otherwise, they would be powerless to turn the tide.

"It's done!"

Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Ruishi Battalion climb up to the top of the city wall and guard several battlements.

They can cut through the strong and sharp, and charge forward courageously. This is the Sharp Warriors Battalion, absolutely invincible in close combat.

"Quick, quick, quick, the Qin army has climbed up to the top of the city, push them down!"

The generals guarding each section of the Yan army's city wall looked extremely pale. No one had expected that it would only take two breaths for the Qin army to climb up to the top of the city wall from the ladder.

The speed at which these Qin troops climbed the ladders exceeded everyone's expectations, and their combat effectiveness and coordination were also unmatched.

The most important thing is that no one expected that the Qin army would suddenly launch a general attack today.

"Rain of arrows to suppress!" Ju Wu also hurried to the top of the city. As long as the rain of arrows suppressed the approach of the Qin army, they could still rely on their numerical advantage to kill all the Qin soldiers who had already climbed the city.

"Too slow!" Wang Jian shook his head confidently.

Under the stone city, catapults and siege crossbows were pushed out one after another. In an instant, thousands of stones were fired at the walls of the stone city.

"Wind~" The commander of the Archer Battalion also ordered an attack.

The Yan army, which could have relied on its advantage in height and range, wanted to save arrows and did not expect the Qin army to launch a general attack today, so it did not launch a rain of arrows to suppress the enemy immediately.

By the time the Rui Shi Battalion climbed the city wall, it was too late for them to organize a rain of death arrows to suppress the enemy, and they were instead suppressed by the Qin army archers who were at a disadvantage.

Following closely behind the Sharp Soldiers Battalion into the city walls came the Death Soldiers Battalion.

The Death Soldier Battalion was composed of Qin army prisoners. They joined the war in order to offset their punishment with military merits. Therefore, their desire to fight was even greater than that of the Sharp Soldier Battalion, and they were also the main force of the Qin army's counterattack.

Instead, the sharp warriors battalion that climbed the city wall first fell behind to guard the ladders.

It was not until the main force of the Qin army climbed onto the top of the wall that the soldiers of the Rui Shi Camp finally put on their exclusive masks, left the ladders, and launched a charge towards the city gate.

"Sharp Warriors Battalion!" Ju Wu looked at the increasingly deteriorating battlefield situation, his face pale.

He never imagined that the most elite warriors of the Qin Dynasty would be used as the first batch of death squads to rush to the top of the city.

The speed of climbing the city wall, which exceeded everyone's expectations, became the key to breaking the deadlock.

Even until now, no one could understand how the Sharp Warriors Battalion dared to climb up the suspended and swaying ladders as if they were walking on flat ground without even setting up the ladders.

"Hold on!" Ju Wu could only keep ordering the soldiers under the city wall to rush to the top of the city wall, trying to suppress the Qin army.

However, after the Sharp Soldiers Camp joined, the Death Soldiers Camp acted as if they were cutting melons and vegetables, as if they were in an empty space. The Yan soldiers who rushed to the top of the city wall didn't even have time to react before they had to face the Sharp Soldiers covered in blood.

"General, let's retreat." A group of generals and officers surrounded Ju Wu and retreated towards the city.

"Street fighting, abandon the city walls, enter the houses, street fighting, Shicheng can't be lost!" Ju Wu remained sober.

Wangcheng has already deployed all his troops and supplies to Shicheng. If Shicheng is lost, Jicheng will become an undefended empty city and will be at the mercy of the Qin army.

"Yes!" The soldiers of Yan army also knew that in this battle, Jicheng had sent all its assets to Shicheng. If Shicheng fell, Wangcheng would be undefendable.

"Something is not right!" The general of the Ruishi Battalion frowned. The Yan army retreated too quickly, and they evacuated the city wall in an organized and orderly manner.

So after opening the city gate, the general of the Rui Shi Camp ordered to stop the attack and make a decision after the army entered the city.

After all, the mission of the Ruishi Battalion was only to climb the city wall and open the gate, not to pursue the Yan army.

The elite soldiers are precious and will not suffer any losses in vain in pursuit of the enemy to expand their military exploits.

Therefore, only the Death Squad continued to follow the retreating Yan army and pursue them.

However, the pursuit of the Death Squad soon encountered cold arrow attacks fired from the dark places in various houses, and suffered heavy losses for a while.

This also calmed down the soldiers of the Death Squad.

"Send a message to the central army, have the Yan army evacuate the city walls, surround the residential areas and alleys, launch a counterattack and engage in street fighting. Request tactical guidance from the central army!" The general of the Rui Shi Battalion stood in the position where Ju Wu had been, looking down at the small-scale battles that broke out in various parts of the city.

"street fighting?"

Wang Jian in the rear also received the message from the Rui Shi Camp and was a little surprised. He never expected that the Yan army would be so tenacious and fight to the death.

"Send a message to the rear and ask for reinforcements!" Wang Jian thought about it and decided to play it safe.

Street fighting is a competition of people, not the quality of soldiers.

They couldn't possibly burn the stone city down, otherwise it would be a massacre.

In this era, no one dares to do something so outrageous.

Especially since Bingzhou is still nearby, if the Qin army commits a massacre in the city, I am afraid that Emperor Xuanwu, who is still on patrol, will return to Beiye Royal City as soon as possible and order Bingzhou to join the war.

Therefore, Wang Jian could only order the rear to continue to reinforce. Otherwise, even if Shicheng was captured, the casualties of the Qin army would prevent them from launching an attack on Jicheng.

"More troops?" Gongsun Nu was a little surprised.

However, Wang Jian did not attack Gongsun Nu, but continued to command the Qin army to enter the city and engage in street fighting with the Yan army.

As for the accidental injury to civilians, the Yan army dared to engage in street fighting, obviously having already moved the residents of the city to the rear.

Every street and every house became the object of contention between the Qin and Yan armies. Even a single house had caused hundreds of casualties.

"Master Gongshu!" Finally, Wang Jian invited Gongsun Chou.

"Let Po Tu Qilang go!" Wang Jian originally wanted to preserve the buildings of Shicheng as much as possible, but the Qin army suffered too many casualties.

"Okay!" Gongshu Chou did not hesitate and ordered the clan members to drive the golden bronze beast made entirely of bronze to crash into the wooden houses.

The Yan army soldiers hiding in civilian houses had no time to evacuate and were buried by the rubble.

"Is this Gongshujia's domineering mechanical art?" Even their own teammates, the generals of the Qin army still looked pale.

Gongshu's mechanical beasts were rampant in the city without restraint, destroying everything in their path. The wailing of Yan soldiers could be heard everywhere.

"Retreat!" Seeing the mechanical beasts appear, Ju Wu knew that it was impossible for them to drag down the Qin army by relying on street fighting. He could only give orders again to retain the manpower, return to Jicheng, and fight to defend the royal city.

"The Yan army retreated!" Wang Ben looked at Wang Jian.

"Let's occupy Shicheng first to avoid being ambushed again!" Wang Jian decided to take a steady approach.

With street fighting ahead, who can guarantee that the Yan army will not have another ambush?
