The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 351 Flooded Capital
Although the wall built temporarily behind the city wall is not as strong as the city wall built at a huge cost, the stability of the city can definitely be improved.

The sky was slowly getting dark. Similarly, the Qin army on the tower looked very leisurely. Sun Ce led the army on the tower, and he couldn't help becoming impatient. Now, the agreed time is getting closer and closer. However, he did not receive the military order to retreat.

Sun Ce naturally wouldn't worry that Liu Bei would give up on himself as an abandoned son.

What he is worried about now is that the plan has changed, and if everything fails to go according to the original plan, can this battle still be won?
The Qin army was fighting on the mainland and could get the help of the people. Even if it was fighting now, Sun Ce seemed to be able to hear the voices of soldiers talking and laughing with family letters on the city wall.

These voices are not talking about anything else, but how to grab the head!
Beheading the enemy's head can improve one's military rank.

Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has been doing this all the time.Such a combat incentive mechanism has been preserved for a long time, proving that it is suitable for the survival rules and war rules of this era.

Looking at our own army, soldiers leaned on the wall, groaning in pain, and wounded soldiers could not receive timely treatment.

Sun Ce doesn't know whether the sky has eyes to see, but Sun Ce has eyes himself.

"General! My lord ordered me to call the general to retreat! The time has come!" Just as Sun Ce's thoughts were flying wildly, a soldier with a command flag on his back came to Sun Ce and handed a military order to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce opened it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "It's business as usual!"

All of a sudden, the army started to move. Everyone in the capital already knew about the flooding of the capital. When Sun Ce withdrew, there was no need to hide it.

On the tower of the inner city, Brother Yeluxiu saw the enemy army retreating, and with a thought, he dispatched three or four nimble soldiers to hang down the city gate with ropes to see if this was real or was it the enemy army. Suspicious strategy!

These three or four people got down from the city tower, stomped on the dead bodies, and headed towards the outer city.

Go up the stairs to the tower and take a look. Outside the outer city, the water in the moat has long been filled to the ground. Looking at it by the moonlight, there is a large expanse of whiteness outside. Those who know it can still recognize it. It's the gate of the capital city. I didn't know that I thought I saw a large lake!

"It's not good! The flood is coming, let's go back and report to the general!" A soldier said in a deep voice, and the others turned their heads and hurried towards the city gate.

"Let me tell the general, there is already a large pool of water outside the gate of the outer city. It is expected that the water will return in a short time!"

Yang Jiye said: "It's just a pity that a part of the outer city wall has been poured down, otherwise, it could still block some of the impact force of the river."

"Don't worry! Don't forget that we still have heavy crossbows!" Brother Yeluxiu sneered!
The weaker city walls can be shot through and shot down!Even though the earth wall outside is very thick, can it stop the five heavy crossbows from aiming at one point and shooting frantically?

You can only know if you try it!
……

Fan Kui led 5000 people to watch at the upstream earth dam. The water was getting bigger and bigger, and the heavy water pressure squeezed the earth dam like a hill, and there were hideous cracks.

"It's almost time, the earth wall below has been piled up, let's go!" Fan Kui mounted his horse and shouted loudly!

This flood has no eyes, and the 3000 people of my own must not stay here for half a breath!

At that moment, Fan Kui led the crowd to rush in the opposite direction, and after a cup of tea, they saw a hill!
All the last sergeants of the coalition army gathered here.

"According to the time, it should be almost there!" Zhang Liang said while looking at the brightly lit capital city in the distance...

All the generals in the army had already held their breath, waiting for the sound of the earth-shattering embankment breaking.

……

"Now you have seen the earth wall on the opposite side. Sprinkle the dry firewood with kerosene and launch it with a trebuchet to have a look. The heavy crossbow is different from the trebuchet, so you must find a correct position!" Brother Yeluxiu commanded The generals under his command began to get busy.

The heavy crossbow, which was well hidden earlier, was now placed on the tower.

The trebuchet began to throw colored firewood outside, illuminating the outside of the city.

According to the experience during the day, things thrown by the trebuchet can generally fall on the earth dam.

Qin Jun threw ten rounds, and from a distance, the earth dam seemed to be lit with a layer of bonfire.

"According to the location where the enemy army built this earth dam waterway, the location where the water flow of the moat should be the thickest part of the earth wall, because it has to withstand a certain impact!" Meng Yi stood on the tower and began to analyze carefully stand up.

The enemy's waterway was built with a certain arc, which happened to direct the rushing flood towards the city gate.

Therefore, the curved part must be thicker than the straight part. Meng Yi suggested that the heavy crossbow should be launched with the straight part in mind.

Brother Yeluxiu and Yang Jiye heard what he said, and he believed it, although it seemed easy to shoot through the curve, because the water pressure impact on the curve was very strong.

But in the same way, the curved wall is very thick, which can dissipate a lot of the impact force of the arrow.

Yang Jiye pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Can you tie something to the heavy crossbow bolt, so that the crossbow bolt can be inserted into the deep soil to increase its swing force, so that the earth dam can withstand the force of the crossbow. , even bigger!"

Hearing this, Brother Yeluxiu murmured: "It makes sense, but once something is tied, the penetrating power of the crossbow will be greatly reduced!"

"It still doesn't work! Then aim directly and start firing arrows!" Yang Jiye smiled slightly. Brother Yeluxiu's words were still pleasant, and he pointed out the problem with a few words.

Instead, Hua Mulan suddenly asked, "Why didn't you shoot the heavy crossbow arrows tied to the obstacle to the bend?"

There are some obstacles attached to the crossbow, so that when the flood comes, it will pull the obstacles hanging on the heavy crossbow, and take away a large piece of solid soil in an instant!
"It makes sense!" Brother Yeluxiu nodded, and immediately began to direct the soldiers to attack. Sun Ce had already led the army to retreat, and time was running out.

With the help of the firelight on the earth dam outside the city, the heavy crossbow began to fire.

In order to prevent the heavy crossbow in the city from being discovered by the enemy outside the city, Brother Yeluxiu ordered the soldiers under his command to beat the drums to cover up the sound of the heavy crossbow.

Everyone squinted their eyes and saw that the heavy crossbow bolts had not penetrated into the earth dam one by one, and they were ecstatic in their hearts!
"Okay!" Yang Jiye laughed and said, "Just aim in one direction and shoot hard!"

After only three or four rounds of heavy crossbows, a slight landslide had already occurred on the targeted earth dam. Watching a large piece of soil slide down, the Qin army on the tower let out cheers.

It's just that the sound of the war drum beating is too loud, which has completely covered the sound.

"Strange, why is the Qin army in the city beating the war drums at this time?" Zhang Liang and Xu Da looked at each other above Xiao Qiulin, feeling very strange in their hearts.

Why did Qin Jun beat the drums at this time?
"Whatever he does, the flood above Fangzheng is about to come down, is it possible that the Qin people will open other city gates and escape from other city gates? Isn't this courting death?" Fan Kui yelled .

Everyone thinks about it, the capital is not a port, and there will be no big ships in it. If you go out of the city at this time, you will definitely die. No matter how fast people run, they will not be as fast as the flood.

"boom--"

At this moment!The earth shook, and the sky and the earth seemed to be collapsing. All the people on the hill were knocked down to the ground!

Needless to say, the Qin people on the tower of the capital, at this moment, the entire tower of the city collapsed into a large group!

"Everyone get ready! Escort the imperial concubine down the tower!" Brother Yeluxiu yelled.

A row of forbidden soldiers had just stabilized their bodies, and immediately knelt on the ground and cupped their hands: "Please come down to the city!"

Once the city wall is broken, the first ones to die are the generals and forbidden soldiers standing on the top of the city tower.

Hua Mulan sternly shouted: "The soldiers of my Great Qin can die, and the imperial concubine can also die in battle! Don't say any more, I swear to the death to live and die with the tower!"

When the lieutenant soldiers heard this, they were extremely excited.

Brother Yeluxiu opened his mouth, but before he could say a word, Hua Mulan glared at him, and immediately swallowed the words in his mouth.

"All aimed at one point, shoot me like crazy, the flood is coming, everyone get ready for me!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

The chaos on the city tower only lasted for a moment, and then it stabilized. One after another, roars rang out one after another, and the sound of the drums beating became more urgent!

All the people have held their breath, waiting for the flood to come.

No matter how loud the beating of the war drums was, the sound of the heavy crossbow piercing the air was not sharp, and the sound of rumbling water was already clearly audible!
Qin Jun on the tower saw the torches on the earth dam with the head of the trebuchet, and they were extinguished in patches, almost in the blink of an eye, the earth dam that was originally a sea of ​​fire suddenly became dark!
"what--"

On the city tower, everyone roared involuntarily, and the soldiers clenched their swords, guns, swords and halberds tightly.

At this moment, in front of the power of nature, everything seems so small!

"boom--"

The flood hit the outer city, and the soldiers on the tower opened their mouths, clearly seeing that the city wall of the outer city was shaken under the force of the flood!
The tall city wall, like the Great Wall, was abruptly pushed up by the flood!

It's like a giant, pushing the mountains to run rampant, between heaven and earth, any power will be eclipsed in front of him.

The flood with the smell of mud flew into the sky, the water column fell all over the sky, the city wall of the outer city was pushed up, and with a loud bang, it hit the top of the city wall of the inner city!
"what--"

Qin Bing's screams were everywhere, and the huge waves sent people falling from the tower, rolling in the waves.

The powerful force of the flood enveloped the soldiers of the Qin army, as if there was an invisible big hand pressing on the soldiers' bodies, making it impossible for them to break free.
