Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 234
The sound of trembling footsteps came, followed by soldiers pouring in like a tide.Standing on the chariot, Shen Chuan looked at Xindu under the night with a smile on his lips.

Hao Zhi bowed to Shen Chuan: "The sooner I capture Xindu, the sooner I can go to rescue those soldiers who are in an ambush. So the last general suggested that it is better to attack the city directly."

"There are only three thousand defenders in the area. This time, we will surely go down one by one and send orders to the whole army to attack."Shen Chuan thought about the [-] soldiers trapped in an ambush and the letter in front of him, and immediately gave them orders.

Hao Zhi bowed with a group of generals and said, "Obey."

The sound of drums resounded across the sky, and a phalanx of thousands of people rushed towards the city wall of Xindu under the night.

Looking at the densely packed enemy army on the city wall, Qingque's scalp tingled instinctively, but Mo Xian was unmoved, obviously he was used to such scenes.

Eyes The enemy soldiers were getting closer and closer, Qing Que's eyes subconsciously looked at the generals of the personal guards around him, and finally fell on Mo Xian.

"My lord, please order to throw stones after ten breaths, to release arrows after fifteen breaths, and to make the soldiers stand against the city gate after twenty breaths. After thirty breaths, pay close attention to the ladders so that they can be destroyed in time."Mo Xian gave Qing Que a series of reminders.

Qing Que looked at the generals of the guards: "Do everything according to Mo Xian's wishes."

"promise".The generals of the personal guards did not speak out to refute. Now that the enemy army is approaching the city, they should obey the orders of the chief general.

Pieces of boulders were lifted onto the trebuchet, and then thrown out of the city by the trebuchet.

All the soldiers of the Canglang guard who swarmed under the city only felt peace in front of their eyes, and before they could dodge the boulder in time, they fell from the sky and lost their lives.

The boulder was like raindrops, but it was not enough to face the attack of [-] wolf guards.Gradually, Xindu got closer and closer, and the guards on the city wall couldn't help but clenched their weapons a little more tightly.

The stones were gradually used up, and then there was a roar, and countless arrows were shot from the city wall.

Under the city wall, many soldiers of the Canglang Guard managed to avoid the huge boulder, but they were attacked by the rain of arrows, and they hurriedly dodged one by one.

It's a pity that the scale of Arrow Rain was huge, and another group of people fell into a pool of blood.

Shen Chuan couldn't help frowning as he watched the battle ahead, and immediately told the generals who walked all over the place: "Don't pay attention to the rain of arrows, just break open the city gate immediately."

"Follow orders".A general bowed to accept the order, then turned around and walked towards the army behind him. Not long after, dozens of soldiers pushed the cart and slammed into the direction of the city gate.

The guards in the city had been prepared for a long time, one by one desperately resisting the city gate.The giant wood on the car hit the city gate, and the city gate made a loud noise.

The expected scene of being knocked away did not appear, and the Canglang Guard who was pushing the siege vehicle had no choice but to back away in an attempt to hit the city gate again.

At this time, a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, and dozens of Wolf Guards pushing the siege vehicles fell into a pool of blood.

Shen Chuan at the back looked at the generals around him with fire in his heart: "Why is it so difficult to attack just three thousand defenders?"

"Sir, why not use a ladder? At this time, most of the Xindu defenders are resisting at the city gate, and the city wall must be empty."A general immediately proposed to Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan nodded slightly, this is indeed a good proposal: "Use the ladder".

"Follow orders".Another general bowed to accept the order, and then waved to the army behind him.

Several ladders were pushed out and pushed directly towards the city wall in an attempt to climb the city wall.

Seeing that the ladder was coming, the guards had nothing to do, they could only watch helplessly as the ladder was erected on the city wall, followed by countless wolf guards climbing up the ladder.

Seeing this scene, Mo Xian didn't feel any turmoil in his heart, and suggested to Qingque: "My lord, please order the rolling logs to be thrown. After a hundred breaths, open the east and west city gates, and send one thousand troops each."

"send troops?".Qing Que couldn't help being surprised, he had never fought a war but he also knew that the situation at this time was very unfavorable to Xin.

Mo Xian explained to Qingque: "At this time, the night battle and the enemy's rushing attack must be exhausting. Besides, we have calmly broken the enemy's many attack methods at this time, and doubts will definitely arise in their hearts, so I expected After a hundred breaths, troops may be dispatched to retreat from the enemy."

"Send an order to drop the logs, and after a hundred breaths, send two thousand troops from the east and west gates."Qingque thought for a while and gave instructions to the guards.

"promise".All the guards bowed and then dispersed to convey the military order.

On the city wall, the disciples of the Mo family and the guards worked together to pick up the rolling logs one by one, and threw them down towards the ladder.

The rolling log slid down the ladder, and a wolf guard who was climbing on the ladder was knocked down and unconscious.

Seeing that all the means of attacking the city were restrained, Shen Chuan couldn't help muttering, looking around but couldn't find the answer.

Hao Zhi hurried over and bowed to Shen Chuan: "Sir, it's not an option to continue like this."

"Could it be that the number of troops in Xindu City is far more than three thousand? If not, why is there such a situation of restraint?"Shen Chuan asked Hao Zhi and the generals around him.

Hao Zhi replied to Shen Chuan without hesitation: "Sir, our soldiers and horses are exhausted. It seems that we are still too anxious to attack us at night."

"If I just retreat like this, I really don't want to be reconciled, so I will pass on the order."Unwillingly, Shen Chuan gave orders to the generals beside him.

A soldier galloped over on a horse and interrupted Shen Chuan's military order: "Xindu's defenders sent troops from the east and west gates, and they are now attacking here."

"Sir, since Xindu dares to send troops at this time, it means that the defenders of Xindu are far more than [-]. Since our army is sure of victory, why rush for a while."Hao Zhi spoke to Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan looked at Hao Zhi unwillingly: "You know that Qin State and Zhongshan State are eyeing each other. Once the public clan gathers troops, then Zhao Yu's military strength will be equal to that of the King. Once the two countries send troops, you Don’t you want to become a sinner through the ages.”

"It's not a matter of one or two days for the public to gather troops, and how many days can Xindu last? Besides, Zhao Wuming's troops are fighting our army twenty miles away. At this time, returning to the army may be able to attack back and forth and win big. Complete victory, at that time this letter will naturally fall into the hands of the king."Hao Zhi explained to Shen Chuan that it was unwise for the soldiers to attack the city in the dark when they were exhausted.

Shen Chuan's eyes were flickering, obviously he was struggling deep in his heart: "If you retreat at this time, I'm afraid that the success will fall short, and the soldiers will be lost."

"But it's better than attacking a strong city under the night with tired soldiers."Hao Zhi persuaded Shen Chuan.

With a heavy wave of Shen Chuan's hand, he immediately gave an order to the generals around him: "Pass the order down, call for gold and withdraw the troops."

"Follow orders".All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and then the sound of Ming Jin filled the air, and the [-] wolf guards receded like a tide.

Shen Chuan glanced back unwillingly, but then he could only sigh.He cannot pay the price of attacking a fortified city with exhausted troops.
