The west gate of Xianyang City is as bright as day, the other three gates are relatively quiet, the army of Zhao gathered at the west gate of Xianyang, and there is no meaning of besieging the city, so it is bitter for the people of Ximen, just experienced the disaster of wolf riding, the damaged houses have been repaired, I don't want to just a few days of stable days Zhao people came again, the situation is more fierce, worried about being affected, the people on the west side of the city have rushed to the east gate.
There are many soldiers above the south gate, and the soldiers below are neatly dressed with spears in their hands, Zhao Jun likes to be taken by surprise the most, even if he puts on an all-out attack on the West Gate, he also does not dare to be careless, it may be a disguise, this kind of play is not special for Zhao Kuo.
Lü Buwei didn't dare to be careless, and ordered the other three guards to climb the city wall in person, anyone who dared to slack off and cut off his head directly, one person held a long sword in the middle, his body was strong, his eyebrows were thick and black, and a pair of eyes were staring ahead, there were spies outside the city, hiding in hidden places, and once the Zhao army came, he would immediately set fire.
"It's better for the general to go back and rest first, it's foolproof that the last general will guard here."
The man waved his hand, "Xiangguo has issued a death order, I can't be careless, let's talk about it after tonight." ”
"Hate Zhao people, I can't wait to lead people to rush out immediately and kill them well." After the man finished speaking, he shook the weapon in his hand, and he was also a fierce general on weekdays.
"Everything must be ordered by the Prime Minister."
Lü Buwei stood above the city wall to observe the movements of the Zhao army, except for the outer defensive camp, the other camps were pitch black, changing guards every other hour, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.
Zhao Kuo carefully arranged the formation, the camps were reasonably arranged, although there was water around Xianyang City, it could not pose a threat to the location of the Zhao army, there was no hay below, and there was no need to worry about Lu Buwei's frowns, there was no flaw to catch, and the sneak attack would not be able to gain any benefits, so he couldn't guess Zhao Kuo's thoughts for a while, so he could only sit and wait for the dawn.
Xianyang Wangcheng, a scolding came out, Zhao Ji's hair was scattered, and she kept banging on the door, seeing her beloved son dead, she completely collapsed at that moment, "Qin will die, everyone will die, and they will give my Bao'er a burial." This was followed by a burst of laughter, accompanied by a few sobs.
The footsteps stopped, it was Ying Zheng, who was bored and simply came out for a walk, Zhao Gao had been following behind him, dealing with Chang Yu, Zhao Gao sacrificed himself to save Ying Zheng, so he was trusted by King Qin, and when he heard the angry scolding, the expression on his face became more and more ugly.
"King, let's go back."
"The widow doesn't want to hear that."
Zhao Gao was stunned and hurriedly said, "What does the king mean?" "Zhao Gao is the best at guessing Yingzheng's mind on weekdays, this moment is different, who is the one inside, King Qin's biological mother, once he makes a mistake, he will lose his head in the future.
"People stay."
"The slave knows."
There is a medicine that can make people lose their voice, and it will not hurt their lives, but one point, Zhao Ji is sad and angry, so as to vent the anger in her heart, if you are not allowed to speak, it may not be long in the world.
There was nothing to say all night, the sky was bright, the Xianyang defenders were really startled, the entire bottom was completely occupied by the giant chariots of the Zhao State, on both sides were defensive infantry, and the cavalry was on both sides, and the advantage of the Qin army was the city wall, and the only thing that could pose a threat to the defenders on the city wall was the thunderbolt car.
"Xiangguo, the opponent's catapult can launch a fire attack."
"Fire Attack!" Lu Buwei's expression changed when he heard this, the water and fire were ruthless, and it was also the most difficult to prevent, and the combined efforts of several people who fell from the boulder could still resist, but if it was fire, it was useless.
"Get more water, the more the merrier."
The soldiers kept their feet on the ground, drawing water from several wells in the outer city, using water tools to transport it to the city wall, "first wet the catapult." ”
There are also no less than 100 catapults in Xianyang City, once the Zhao army approaches, throwing stones from the inside can also cause huge damage, Lü Buwei has already prepared, just a little, the other party throws fire, the catapult is wooden, once it is burned, all the catapults will suffer.
The water kept pouring on, and the clothes of the soldiers above the city wall were also wet with water, even the corners of the city wall were not spared, and the water kept flowing down the city wall.
"King, look, the other party is ready."
"Out of the crossbow."
Under an order, the middle catapult quickly pushed aside, dozens of giant crossbows appeared, guarding Changping Pass, the giant crossbow exerted its power, a domineering blow directly shot people through, the powerful damage force made people fearful, and finally the Qin army attacked the top of the mountain, more than a dozen giant crossbows had to be burned, this attack on Xianyang, Zhao Kuo secretly sent people to build sixty giant crossbows, the process has been improved compared with before, the range is farther, the power is greater, and the gap between them is also minimized.
"What's that?"
"Zhao Guo Giant Crossbow!"
Lu Buwei couldn't help frowning, he had heard that Zhao Guo had this kind of giant crossbow arrows with amazing power, but he didn't see it in person, and Zhao Guo has always been in the lead in terms of crossbow arrow technology, which integrates Zhao Kuo's modern weapon concept.
"Shield."
The shields above the city wall were erected one after another, grabbed with both hands, and the spears were put aside, and the defense was not better than the attack, occupying the height advantage, and also avoiding the pain of running and fatigue, even if the opponent attacked closely, there was no time to abandon the shield and pick up the spear to counterattack.
"Let the Qin people have a good look at the power of the divine crossbow."
Crunch, crunch, several soldiers stepped forward, the crossbow arrow bowstring needs several people to work together to open, there is a crossbar underneath, and there is a groove on the crosswood, as long as the direction and height are determined, the groove is stuck on it, and the giant crossbow arrow is completely fixed and will not shake from side to side.
"Rise a little more."
The sound sounded, and several people who operated the crossbow arrows were skilled, and after countless tests and quick adjustments on weekdays, each giant crossbow arrow was aimed at a completely different direction.
"Put!"
There was an angry shout, followed by a buzzing sound when the bowstring was released, and the giant crossbow of Zhao State adopted the repeating crossbow process, which could place three giant arrows at a time, sixty of them, and a full one hundred and eighty giant crossbow arrows shot straight above Xianyang City.
Bang bang bang, the crossbow bolt approached, directly hitting the shield, even if it relied on the body, it still couldn't stop the huge force from above, as the sound came out, the shield broke one after another, and the soldiers in the rear were also affected.
Lü Buwei's figure flickered, an arrow flew by, and his right hand grabbed it, Lü Buwei's hand was extremely strong, the speed of the arrow slowed down and did not stop immediately, and it hit the city wall behind him with a bang, and several pieces of gravel fell.
Lü Buwei held the root of the arrow, this is a piece of wrist-thick hard bamboo, the tip is sharpened by a sharp blade, it was originally unable to play a role, it was too bulky, this time is different, with the Zhao State Giant Crossbow, the power will be maximized in an instant.
There were heavy casualties above the walls, and the shield could not withstand the crossbow attack, "Can the catapult work?" ”
The general behind him shook his head again and again, "The distance is too far to make a difference." ”
Lu Buwei's face sank, wouldn't this be an ornament, and the general retreated to the side, almost at the same time, the second wave of attacks below had arrived, and the black shadow of the Dao Dao sent out from the giant crossbow and smashed straight towards the top of the city wall.
The screams were bursting, and the defenders above could only resist with their flesh and blood, so not only were there too many casualties, but also had an impact on morale.
"Shields overlap, fast."
The soldier with a shield behind him ran quickly, several shields overlapped together, in order to increase the defense, it did work, although the power of the giant bamboo arrow was strong, from the bottom up, the strength had been weakened, the moment it was issued, the speed was the largest, and the strength weakened as the distance increased.
When the bamboo arrow hits, the outer shields crack one after another, and the crisp sound is endless, but fortunately, there are shields behind, overlapping each other to also slow down the damage caused by impact.
"Cast!"
Several waves of strong crossbow offensives passed, and the Qin army gradually found a way to crack it, one person could not take it at all, several people could do it together, and also ignored one point, standing above the wind blowing, and the city wall on his body quickly dried up, and the guards overlapped each other in order to deal with the giant crossbow arrows, and it was clear from below that the opponent's forces were completely crowded together.
The catapults on both sides secretly prepared, as the flag fell, the fireballs were thrown into the sky above Xianyang, at that moment, countless red fireballs rose, the whole air was dyed red, some people raised their heads, opened their mouths wide, as if they were shocked by the scene in front of them, and also forgot the danger.
Bang bang bang, the fireball hit the instant explosion, so the most terrifying, the scene of Hangu Guan was staged again, the soldiers gathered together were instantly ignited by the fire, the fire was fierce, no matter how many hands and feet were used together, they could not extinguish it, they could only watch the fire rise, and the whole body was completely surrounded by fire.
The screams continued, there was fire in front of him, fire on his body, and fire on his hands, Lu Buwei's figure retreated again and again, and the guards on the side kept throwing water out, and the camp retreated without being affected, and the defense of the entire city wall was in chaos.
"Fire attack, fire attack!"
Lu Buwei hated the fire, Qin's several defeats were due to the fire, Zhao Kuo seemed to be the fire in front of him, igniting in the Qin camp anytime and anywhere, burning the Qin people's bodies, and there was still hope for the once unyielding will.
"Fight back."
Lu Buwei was angry, this kind of play was annoying, everyone below was watching, if he didn't do something, he would inevitably be criticized in the future, and he would also have to give an explanation to the dead soldiers.
The catapult in Xianyang City started, the power was not weak, the huge stone rose, flew over the city wall and went straight to the Zhao army camp and fell, bang bang, the boulder fell in front of the Zhao army camp, there was still some distance from the opponent's defense camp, this is the gap, throwing from the outside to the inside originally had an advantage in the distance.
Lu Buwei's face changed instantly, "Waste, what's the use of keeping it!" "Hold the long sword tightly, and at that moment you have already moved to kill.
Lü Buwei also ignored the fact that the distance between the city wall and the catapult camp, the distance between the Zhao army's strong crossbow and the thunderbolt was far less than that of the catapult in the city to reach the Zhao army's camp, and there was a lot more of it, and this distance was often overlooked.
No detail on the battlefield can be ignored, the boulder fell in front of the Zhao army's camp, causing no damage, but a false alarm.
"Lord, are you attacking the city gates?"
"Don't worry, let the fire burn a little longer."
The Qin army did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and the catapults in the city could not pose a threat to the Zhao army, Lü Buwei looked helpless, and the soldiers could only shrink their bodies as much as possible under the city wall, thinking in their hearts that the ancestors would bless the fire not to fall on their bodies. r1058
