Chapter 58: Xiang Yu VC Wang Ben

Wang Ben felt that he was already exhausted, and he only had less than 40,000 Qin troops under his command. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info has to fight against as many as 160,000 Chu troops. Although the enemy's combat strength is not as strong as the Qin army, its number is more than four times that of the Qin army. With the girder of the city wall, it can hold out for a few days. I only hope that Wang Qian's reinforcements will arrive as soon as possible, otherwise the 40,000 Guanzhong disciples under him can only end up with the destruction of the whole army.

In just a few days, the tall and wide moat had been filled. The Chu army could use the cloud ladder to directly attack the city wall, although it was killed and wounded by the Qin army in large numbers. But the Chu army also brought huge casualties to the Qin army, and the entire city was littered with corpses. The sticky blood was dry and wet, wet and dry. It's like a red carpet on the ground! The walls and arrows were even more shocking, and from a distance, the girder city wall, which was full of the smell of blood, had almost become black after the blood had dried up.

"I don't know when my father's reinforcements will come. If you don't come in another three days, you will have to kill them. Looking at the dense camp of the Chu army, Wang Ben muttered helplessly. No matter how elite the Qin soldiers are, it is impossible to fight four at a time. Moreover, judging from the situation in the past few days. Chu Jun didn't give it for nothing!

"Never!" Yang Duanhe next to him immediately stopped Chiyan, and after many years of battlefield killing, Yang Duanhe has grown from a stunned young man to a veteran of the battlefield.

"If you don't go, do you want us to be trapped in this girder. Ending up with Wei Jun? Wang Ben looked at Yang Duanhe with some puzzlement. The Qin army led by Yang Duanhe was the first to be defeated by the Chu army and fled back to Daliang. Sixty percent of the 20,000 subordinates were killed or wounded, and less than 10,000 fled back to Daliang. The soldiers of Daqin value the most military merits, and of course, they also despise the losers the most.

However, Wang Ben didn't dare to look down on this Yang general, and Yang Duanhe's wife was an aunt of his Wang family. Counting up, Wang Ben still has to call Yang Duanhe an uncle.

"Silly boy, say it's a breakout retreat. But that's an escape, once the army gets to that point. Everyone rushed to run for their lives, and no one wanted to stay behind and die. If the Chu army chases after us, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape. It is difficult to win a battle, but it is 10,000 times harder to defeat a battle than to win a war. It is not easy to bring these Guanzhong children back with all the mustaches and shadows. Yang Duanhe sighed helplessly, and the situation when he was defeated and retreated to Daliang was vivid. If it weren't for the fact that he had fought to the death with a vote of men and horses, none of the 20,000 Qin troops could have returned to Daliang alive.

"What then? Waiting for death in the girder? "Yang Duanhe's battlefield experience, Wang Ben can't refute it. Under the siege of 200,000 Chu troops, he can bring back half of the people, which is already considered Yang Duanhe's ability. After listening to Yang Duanhe's words, Wang Ben felt that one head had two big. Guarding is death, and running is death. Are you going to die in this Great Liang City?

Suddenly, Wang Ben remembered the bloody smile on the corner of King Wei's fake mouth. "Today I die under the sword, and tomorrow you Qin dog thieves will be bleeding." Could it be that this vicious curse will be fulfilled?

Wang Ben didn't dare to imagine what it would be like if Daliang City fell.

"Now it seems that the Chu army is in a hurry to lay the girders. As long as they capture Daliang, they can threaten the westward retreat of the army. If they use Daliang as a base, they can look at the Central Plains. Whether it is eastward or westward or northward, it is easy to navigate. It seems that they want to keep the general in the Central Plains and prevent our army from returning to the west of Hanguguan. The map was in Yang Duanhe's mind, and the Chu army was attacking the beam in such a storm, and when he thought about it with his eyes closed, he understood the strategic intentions of the Chu army.

"So that's the case, since that's the case, no matter what, the Chu people can't be allowed to succeed. Hum! Hearing Yang Duanhe's analysis, Wang Ben immediately understood. The Chu army wanted to leave the entire Wang Jian corps in the Central Plains. Annihilated Wang Qian's army, the Qin army will inevitably be greatly damaged. At least ten years, you can't send a letter to Guguan step. But ten years later, the state of Chu must have taken root in the East. Accumulating the material resources and manpower of the Central Plains, Daqin wants to unify China, but it is even more difficult.

The two were talking on the city wall, and the Chu army on the opposite side once again sounded drums and trumpets. In these days of fighting, the Qin army has already felt the law of the Chu army. One trumpet is a formation, and two trumpets are an attack. When the trumpet sounded three times, the Chu army would rush over like a sea of mountains.

The "creaking" sound of the Qin crossbow on the string became one, although the Chu army was numerous. But most of them were armed with spears and other weapons, and they wore armor made of bamboo, even if they had shields. There are also many people who are bamboo shields, and Qin crossbow can easily tear through that thing in about a hundred steps.

Only the elite Chu army is equipped with an iron-clad wooden shield that can fight against the Qin crossbow. There is also metal armor on his body, but it is the elite of the Chu army. In this kind of siege warfare, they rarely play. After besieging Daliang for several days, I didn't see an elite siege like that.

Sure enough, after three trumpet sounds. The Chu army pressed up with overwhelming momentum, and this time the Chu army dispatched a lot of soldiers. They carried the ladder and rushed to the city wall with their lives. Within the range of Qin's crossbow, arrows like raindrops fell on the Chu army below. These Qin troops are all perennial soldiers, and their crossbow arrows are sharp and ruthless. Almost without missing arrows, the Chu troops who were carrying the cloud ladder immediately fell down like cutting wheat.

The Chu army is very brave, as long as one person falls. Someone must have stepped up beside them, and they continued to carry the ladder and run wildly. In fact, there were many overturned ladders under the city. I don't know what these Chu troops think, or they still charge forward clumsily with a cloud ladder.

After paying the price of hundreds of people, the Chu army finally rushed to the city of Daliang. The power of the crossbow bolts was immediately greatly reduced, because at this time they wanted to shoot the people under the city. The body must be poked out from behind the arrow stack, and those who have half their body outside will inevitably become the target of the crossbowmen of the Chu army. You must know that the Chu army also has crossbow arrows. Although it is not as strong as the Qin crossbow, the distance is so close, and the power is not much different from the Qin crossbow.

The soldiers of Qin were naturally not stupid, and Yang Duanhe shouted. Then the soldiers put away their crossbows and arrows, and each of them had a blade in his hand. There are also groups of six, armed with stout battering rods. Many of the Chu army's ladders were knocked over by those bumper poles. The Chu army above, there are countless people who have been injured and injured. It is the supreme weapon against the siege of the ladder!

All the Qin soldiers held their breath and prepared for the most tragic hand-to-hand combat. However, things were unexpected, those Chu soldiers did not erect the ladder as before. But they began to nervously dismantle the ladder, and several Qin army scouts poked their heads out to see what was going on. But before he could retract his head, he was shot into a sieve by the arrows that came up like a storm.

One by one, corpses fell under the city like rag bags, and no Qin army dared to poke their heads out. There are only a few thousand bows and crossbows waiting below, and no one wants to be shot down like a bird.

Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben also felt strange, but now no one dared to poke their heads out. Thousands of crossbows are pointed at each other, and reaching out at this time is no different from suicide.

Xiang Yu looked nervously at the top of the city wall, and continued to poke his head out when he saw that there was no Qin army. He immediately commanded, "Blow the trumpet and let them come." ”

It turned out that these Chu troops were death squads led by Xiang Yu, and most of them were crossbowmen. The task is to occupy a place under the city, so that the Qin army cannot shoot the Chu army soldiers at will. It's no wonder that when they rushed through the rain of Qin crossbow arrows, they would lose so many people.

Listening to Xiang Yu's instructions, a soldier immediately took out a conch trumpet and blew it wildly. With the sound of "woo" and "woo", thousands of Chu soldiers wearing dark iron armor and holding large skin shields suddenly poured out of the Chu army camp. I saw that these guys were holding heavy shields, but they seemed to be carrying a straw. Along the way, he was like flying, and he could actually dodge the powerful shot of the Qin crossbow.

And in the hands of these guys, they are not carrying any swords, guns, swords, halberds. Rather, hoes, chisels, axes, and the like are more like tools than weapons.

Wang Ben and Yang Duan's eyes were about to fall, and these guys knew at a glance that they were the elite of the Chu army. Rushing through the rain of arrows of the Qin army, the loss was less than one-tenth of the previous time. It stands to reason that this kind of elite should not be rare in the Chu army. They should appear at the last moment when the girder is on the brink and become the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Can......! How did they show up today? Could it be that they are preparing for today's general attack? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem that the Great Qin side has reached the point of exhaustion!

These fierce Chu soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall like madmen, and they put their heavy shields on the ladder. Quickly using the materials of the ladders, bunkers were built under the city walls, which were made of rough wood from which the ladders were made. The side against the wall is high, and the side away from the wall is low.

After setting up the bunker, the brawny men picked up hoes and chisels and began to dig up the walls in a frenzy. The sound of "sonorous" was incessant, as if the thick city wall would tremble every time it was chiseled.

The walls of the girder have been built over hundreds of years, and the ends are extremely strong. The city wall is more than ten zhang thick, and the wide city wall can be used for two carriages in parallel.

If it was in the past, Xiang Yu would not have achieved much results even if he had been planing for ten days and half a month. But the current Daliang city wall is the city wall that has been soaked in the Yellow River water for nine months by Wang Ben.

The rammed earth city wall has been soaked in the water of the Yellow River. After being exposed to the scorching sun for a few months, the city wall that used to be sharpened with knives and axes is now like steamed buns that have been put for a few days. As long as you gouge hard, some debris will fall off. Those wrestlers were all strong and strong, and they were carefully selected by Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang. It's just to smash open this Great Wei Capital!

It's just half an hour, and many places have smashed out big pits more than a foot deep. The height is enough for a person to get into, Xiang Yu is overjoyed. Those Chu troops, who had been fed up with the Qin army's bullying for many days, were also inexplicably excited. They kept digging the soil like groundhogs, and the soil that the wrestlers threw down would soon be cleaned up by the soldiers. The "sonorous" sound of chiseling the wall was endless, and Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe on the city wall gradually turned white. Now even if you are an idiot, you know what the hell Chu Jun is going to do.

After months of flooding with the Yellow River, it was impossible for the city walls to withstand such an invasion. If they were allowed to dig it down, the walls might be crushed. These days, the tired Qin army relied on the walls to support its defenses. Once the walls collapsed...... Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"Roll the wood!" Yang Duanhe yelled loudly.

With Yang Duanhe's order, many head-sized stones flew down from the city wall in an instant. These things are necessary for the defense of the city, and I was going to save some of them. Now it seems that if you don't have to, I'm afraid you won't need it in the future.

"Be careful! Crossbowmen cover! Xiang Yu stood in the shed and shouted. A head-sized stone fell from a place more than a dozen feet high, and the thick skinned shield "bang" and "bang" sounded. Fortunately, these big shields are made of thick wood in order to resist Qin crossbows. There was also a layer of metal skin on it, and the rolling wood and stone smashed on it, and it bounced twice and fell to the ground. Xiang Yu and those soldiers were all afraid, if it weren't for Xiang Liang's suggestion to build a slope to come out. I'm afraid this bunker has been smashed down by now!

The crossbowmen of the Chu army were not idle at this time, and their arrows were shooting at the city wall like flying locusts. Those Qin soldiers who were holding rolling wooden stones and had just shown their heads would attract dozens or even hundreds of arrows. For a time, the Qin army on the city wall was also turned on their backs. The exclamations and wails rang out, and Yang Duanhe couldn't help but feel garbled when he saw it. Rao is that he has been in battle for a long time, and there is no good way for a while.

"Pour boiling water!" Wang Ben misses the Yun family fire oil too much now. In the past few years, the stored Yunjia fire oil has long been exhausted. Otherwise, I will definitely not be afraid of these little people. Now the only way is to pour boiling water, hoping to have a good effect.

The boiling water poured into the groove with a "bang" and poured down the beast's head on the city wall. The Chu army inside the bunker immediately let out a scream, and the bunker was dense but not waterproof. The Chu army in the bunker was inevitably scalded by the hot water dripping down. However, the bunker had a ramp. Most of the boiling water slipped down the slope to the ground.

Although the Chu army in the bunker had many burns, most of them were not fatal. Coupled with the heavy armor on their bodies, the injury didn't matter much. It was just that there were a few screams, and these Chu military wrecks began to work again.

Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe are completely stupid, how the hell should they get this?
