Qiang Qin

Updated: 2010-12-22

Because Xiang and his two were besieged by the Qin army in Jiujiang City after Xiang Yu sent troops to rescue Kuaiji, they had no idea that Xiang Yu was chased by Fusu's troops and finally changed direction. They rushed back to Kuaiji, and the two had strong confidence in Xiang Yu. This was also an important reason for supporting them to hold on to Jiujiang. They believed that when Xiang Yu solved the rebellion in the rear, he would definitely bring his troops back. .

At this time, the Chu army guarding the city was exhausted from top to bottom, and all the deployments were actually useless. They defended the city relying on their will and determination to die.So when the Qin people retreated, the generals of the Chu army did not discuss further battles with Xiang and him, but went back to rest and waited for the next day's battle.Xiang He took a look at Xiang Zhuang and said, "You should go and have a rest too. The past few days have all depended on your desperate defense of the city, and I, Jiujiang, have been able to support me until now. You haven't had a good rest for several days."

After Xiang Zhuang stayed for a while, he asked hesitantly: "His brother, do you think Bawang can really deal with the rebellious army in Kuaiji and the army of the Qin people who rushed after it? It has been a long time, but There is no news."

In fact, Xiang He already had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still said: "With the power of the overlord and tens of thousands of troops, those rebels must not be his opponent. As for the people of Qin..." He couldn't help pausing at this point After a while, he said with difficulty, "Bawang should have a way to deal with them. Although it has been several days, but we have not received any news, it may not be because Bawang has not returned to Kuaiji, but because the Qin army sent us to Kuaiji. We are dead, and there will be no news at all. As long as we persevere, maybe tomorrow, the Overlord will come back to save us with the power of complete victory."

"I hope so." Xiang Zhuang smiled wryly, he could see that he was actually just comforting himself, the probability of this happening is really too small.In silence, the two sat for another whole night...

As the sky became brighter, the Qin army outside the city began to attack Jiujiang City again.Groups of Qin soldiers rushed up, and were smashed back by the Chu army at the top of the city with stones and trees. Then the crossbowmen in the Qin army relied on the powerful range of the crossbow to suppress the Chu people on the city. The Chu people hid behind the crenels, or erected shields to resist, and this gave the Qin people an opportunity. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Chu army was suppressed, they rushed forward, put the ladder on the top of the city, and then Climb on the ladder and kill towards the top of the city.All these are routine steps for attacking the city these days. Every time, the Qin people can rely on the strong crossbow to enable the soldiers to set up the ladder, and some soldiers climbed up.

But the Chu army was not completely powerless to fight back. As soon as they saw the Qin army starting to climb upwards, some people risked being shot by crossbow arrows and lifted stones and threw them down hard.The stones whizzed down and hit several Qin soldiers among them. They let out a scream and fell down from the ladder, and a few more stones smashed the ladder, and the Qin soldiers on it were gone. When they lost their foothold, they all fell to the city.But this could not stop the Qin army's attack. When one person fell off the ladder, more soldiers climbed up behind him. One ladder was broken, and the ladder added later was quickly put on the city wall again.

And among the Chu army on the city, many people were shot to death on the city with arrows by the Qin army's crossbowmen outside because they wanted to lean out to deal with the climbing Qin army.But in general, the Qin army killed far more people than the Chu army. After all, they attacked the city from the bottom up.

With the sound of drums, a large group of troops rushed out of the Qin army. They were surrounded by shield players on all sides, and there was a huge bumper in the middle.All the soldiers shouted, and the team of hundreds of people rushed towards the south gate of Jiujiang quickly.

Xiang Zhuang was guarding the south gate. As soon as he saw the posture of the Qin army, he knew that the Qin people were planning to smash the gate open with a ram, so he hurriedly ordered the remaining archers in the city to rush to him. Here, arrows were fired at the Qin army below.At the same time, some people were ordered to throw heavy objects such as wood and stones at the team of Qin soldiers.A few days ago, the Qin army had suddenly sent a group of troops to attack the south gate. If Xiang Zhuang hadn't sent troops in time to shoot them to death in front of the gate with a rain of random arrows, the south gate might have been broken by the Qin people. .But even so, the south gate was still hit. Although it was reinforced afterwards, Xiang Zhuang didn't think it could still withstand the violent impact of the Qin army.

Wood, stones and arrows continued to pour down, and finally some of the soldiers of the Qin army who were holding shields to protect the warriors in the middle were injured and fell to the ground.The opening of a gap made this team slowly and completely exposed to the attacks of the Chu people. After a while, more than half of the hundreds of people were killed, and the others had to stumble back.This time, Xiang Zhuang was able to guard the south gate.

But before he could heave a sigh of relief, Qin Jun sent a few more teams that were the same as before, and he had to order his soldiers to continue to greet them in the old way.

The sound of killing, screaming, howling of weapons... the sound of counting filled the battlefield, but Meng Tian's eyes showed no emotion at all. Before the battle started, he would consider how to prevent the soldiers from dying in vain. If it started, then all he had in his eyes was victory. As for how many soldiers died in battle, that was after the battle.Orders were issued from his mouth one by one, and then the soldiers who sent the orders conveyed them to the front. Looking at the still stubborn Chu army, Meng Tian once again issued an order to dispatch crossbowmen to suppress the city.

After Zhang Han walked a few steps aside, he suddenly said: "General Meng, I think the people of Chu are at the end of their strength. As long as our army has enough courage, we can attack the city in one fell swoop. General, please let me lead the troops to charge again. Well, maybe the soldiers will be more determined to attack the city after being encouraged."

Meng Tian pondered for a while, finally nodded and said: "You go, but you must pay attention to safety. If you have any good or bad for taking this Jiujiang City, then I will not be able to explain to the emperor."

Seeing that Meng Tian agreed to his request, Zhang Han was overjoyed, he agreed and rushed to the front with a few soldiers, he really needed such a victory.Looking at Zhang Han's back, Meng Tian could not help but smile wryly, and then he sent more than a dozen shield soldiers to follow Zhang Han closely to prevent him from being injured by the arrows on the top of the wall.

Qin Bing, who was struggling to attack the city, was greatly encouraged when he saw General Zhang, who had been taking the lead in the past few days, coming again, and they all went forward with even more effort.Zhang Han was also very anxious when he saw that the soldiers who were carrying ramming logs could not reach the gate of the city due to the constant arrows from the Chu army.In the past few days, he has always followed the soldiers who climbed the city and attacked upwards. He has not been with these soldiers who hit the gate, so he decided to attack the gate of Jiujiang with them today.

A few sharp arrows were shot down, and they happened to hit the soldiers who were carrying the huge logs. As soon as they loosened all their strength, they fell to the ground.Seeing that the giant log was about to fall to the ground due to the absence of a few of them, Zhang Han had already got on his horse, and then jumped off the horse to prop up a point.Seeing this, several of his personal soldiers also rushed forward one after another, and together with Zhang Han, they held the giant tree that was about to fall.At this time, the shield players who were ordered by Meng Tian also rushed over, and a team that was about to disperse gathered again. Under Zhang Han's order, everyone mustered their strength to go The city gate of Jiujiang rushed over.

"Boom!" There was a sound from the city gate, and finally a group of Qin soldiers rushed to the gate of the city and attacked the south gate.Xiang Zhuang's face changed, and he ordered all the archers to shoot arrows at these people.However, the fighting methods of this group of Qin soldiers were different from those of the previous ones. They stood at the right angle so that the Chu army on the city could see them completely, and only saw the shields below. Random arrows can only be shot on the shield or nailed to it, but they can't hurt the people below.

Chu Junfa hurt Qin Jun below, but those who carried the giant wood would not stop their movement of banging on the door. Following Zhang Han's loud roar, the giant wood hit the heavy wooden door again and again .Even the soldiers of the Chu army standing on the city gate could clearly feel the mighty force of the impact.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't care about other things at this time, he hurriedly sent all his soldiers to go down to the city, and together with the Chu army behind the gate, they stood up against the city gate, preventing the Qin army from breaking into the city gate.And he himself went to Xiang Ta's side for help.

But Xiang Zhuang lost sight of the other, once there were no guards at the south gate, it would give the Qin army a great opportunity. A series of ladders were erected on the city, and at the same time, several groups of ramming troops headed towards the south gate. rushed up.

When the Qin army boarded the South City without any resistance, the South Gate of Jiujiang was also knocked down by several groups of people with rams after a huge shock.The soldiers of the Chu army in the city were unprepared for a while, and many of them were crushed to the ground by the city gate and turned into a puddle of meatloaf.

Seeing that the south gate was broken, Meng Tian immediately ordered all the Qin soldiers in the camp to rush over, but after a while, the south gate was completely controlled by the Qin army.Only then did Xiang Zhuang find Xiang Ta.The two looked at each other, seeing despair in each other's eyes.

After all, Xiang He was still calm, and after a moment of bewilderment, he said to Xiang Zhuang: "Jiujiang has fallen, we should quickly leave here with our troops, let's go to Kuaiji, the Overlord is there, we still have the possibility of winning .”

Xiang Zhuang had completely lost his mind at this time, so he had to listen to Xiang Ta's advice, and while the Qin army rushed in, he and Xiang Ta rushed out from the east gate with the remaining thousands of troops.
