786. The Battle of Xinzheng

The envoy returned to the camp of the Qi army and told Qi Jiu everything about the situation in Korea word for word.

After Qi Jie heard this, he then looked at the generals on the side and said, "At night, we will attack!" ”

Night.

The stars in the sky illuminate the entire Xinzheng City, and there are fields outside, which are very quiet, and the sound of the breeze can be heard.

But the silence was broken by a loud bang, and the rain of flames and arrows in the sky covered the entire starry sky, and the huge fireballs of catapults destroyed the silence again and again.

The battle for the defense of Xinzheng began, and Qi Jiao let the army destroy Xinzheng City with catapults and a rain of flames and arrows.

And one by one the ladder crossed the moat, the ladder was also pulled out, and one soldier by one crossed the moat and began to climb the ladder to climb the wall of Xinzheng City.

There are only 30,000 Korean imperial city guards in Xinzheng City, plus Han Hu's private forbidden army, no more than 50,000.

If Xinzheng City wanted to be defended, he had to be fully armed, and let the civilians in the city take out their weapons to engage the Qi and Chu armies.

I saw the soldiers of the Chu State take out the horn and blow it, and I saw a few shirtless men, carrying a huge iron ball, walking out.

It took more than a thousand strong men to carry this iron ball out of the Chu State, only to see the soldiers of the Qi State pull out a giant trebuchet.

They rolled the iron ball onto the top of this giant trebuchet, this is the newly discovered giant trebuchet of Qi State, what he threw was this giant iron ball, of course, this giant iron ball, Qi Jiao brought a total of three this time, after all, an iron ball needs a thousand people to carry, and an iron ball needs two thousand horses to transport.

After entering South Korea, this iron ball has not been used, this is the first time it has been used, and then the horn of the Chu State sounded, and Qi Jie looked at a general on the side.

"Guys, take your seat!" The general shouted, and saw more than a thousand strong men walking up to the giant trebuchet, and each of them picked up the rope on the ground.

Then 4,000 people came, pulling the rope together, and on the tower of Xinzheng, I saw nearly 10,000 strong men, pulling the rope, running backwards, and then they saw a huge trebuchet, which was slowly running.

I saw a flag waving again: "Loose! ”

With an order, this huge iron ball shuttled over, and the general defending the city saw a huge black ball coming in the sky, he was very confused, but then the black ball smashed into the city tower, and the city tower collapsed instantly.

And the soldiers of the State of Qi and the soldiers of the State of Chu had already prepared, and the shield soldiers moved forward to block the fall of the rolling stones.

And the general defending the city never thought that he would die violently as soon as he appeared, and the tower of the main gate of Xinzheng City had collapsed, and a huge crack appeared on the wall of the main gate.

And the command flag of Qi State waved again, only to see that the second iron ball was slowly coming.

Of course, it takes an hour to two hours for an iron ball to be transported to this huge catapult, half an hour to operate, and half an hour to launch.

And again, the soldiers of Qi and Chu pushed siege vehicles and hit the city wall that had cracks.

Small catapults were adding to the cracked walls.

Qi Jie looked at the people beside him: "Xinzheng City deserves to be the national capital!" Qiankun Audiobook.com

According to the calculations of the Ministry of Industry of Qi, once this giant catapult is used, the walls of the ordinary city will generally be destroyed, and the city wall of Xinzheng City in front of him is only cracked, and it takes at least three to completely destroy the city wall.

Since its establishment, Xinzheng City has been the national capital, once the national capital of Zheng State, and now it is the national capital of South Korea, and this city has resisted many foreign invasions.

It was also because of the solidity of Xinzheng City that Han Hu dared to resist the hundreds of thousands of allied forces of Qi and Chu with less than 50,000 troops.

And after the news of the death of the city commander reached Han Hu, Han Hu was suddenly startled and looked at the messenger in front of him: "What did you say?" Just after the fight, the general who defended the city died? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Qi State used a giant catapult, and General Liu, who was defending the city, was unfortunately hit......" replied by the soldier.

"The widow personally supervises the battle!" Han Hu snorted coldly.

And Zhang Ping hurriedly stopped Han Hu and said: "Your Majesty can't, Your Majesty can command the battle in the Han Palace!" ”

"Your Majesty, if there are three long and two short, we will be completely ruined!" Zhang Ping looked at Han Hu and said.

After listening to Zhang Ping's words, Han Hu gave up, he looked at the soldiers on the side and asked, "At present, how is the city gate now?" ”

"Return, Your Majesty, now that it is in danger, the city wall has been cracked, and under the repeated blows of that catapult, I am afraid that the city wall will be broken tomorrow morning!"

"The gates may be broken tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Han Hu was silent for a while and said, "How long will it take for the Shangdang Army and the Qin Army to reach Xinzheng?" ”

"Xinzheng's vanguard troops will not arrive until three days at the earliest, I'm afraid that by then, Xinzheng City has been broken!" Zhang Ping looked at Han Hu and said.

"Then I will hold on for three days, break the city and fight to the death with the enemy, as long as the Han Palace is not broken in, stop the people in Xinzheng City, and fight against the Qichu coalition army together!" Han Hu said to Zhang Ping on the side.

Zhang Ping nodded, now the best way is only this, stop everyone in the city, prepare to resist the enemy, once the city gate is broken, it will not let Xinzheng City fall immediately, as long as you fight for three days, wait until the vanguard of the Qin State, and then follow the Shangdang Legion and the Qin State Army, then this can still be won.

At this time, the second iron ball of Qi State had already been thrown over, and this iron ball directly penetrated the city wall, and the people waving the flag began to wave the marching flag.

When the Korean soldiers saw that there was a hole in the city wall, they hurriedly defended to that position to prevent the large army of Qi from entering the city.

"The weapons of this Ministry of Engineering are still good, but they are troublesome to use, and it takes more than 10,000 people to use them, and if they are used twice, they will directly destroy the enemy's city wall."

And at this time, the general of the Chu State, 'Shaohua', came over, looked at Qi Jie and said: "Meng Weijun, the land of Jingbei promised by the Emperor of Qi to our Chu State will not count, right?" ”

Letting the State of Chu send troops to attack Korea with the State of Qi was a promise of territory and some treasures.

Qi Xiaobai looked at Shaohua and said, "When Han Hu is caught, let him sign the contract to cede the territory!" ”

Shaohua nodded: "It's just that this Wei State has no credit for attacking Jingbei, is it really good to give a part of this Jingbei to Wei State?" ”

Shaohua wanted to take the entire Jingbei for himself, of course, he knew that Qi Guo's plan was only to give them a part, but Shaohua Jue had some things to fight for, not waiting for others to send them, so he wanted to fight for it.
