Chapter 833 The sage made a move, and Chang'an broke
Chang'an, a city wall somewhere on the southeast side, is less than 300 meters wide, but there are hundreds of ladders and hooks and cables along the wall, and there are countless of them.
Thousands of Western Qin soldiers, under the cover of archers, held light shields made of the skins of unknown demon beasts, held logs, braved the rain of arrows, like ants, and went upstream.
From time to time, a ladder was knocked down, and the flag was waved, and a group of soldiers under the city wall carried the ladder again, shouting to make up for it.
After some hard fighting, there were gradually Western Qin soldiers who climbed the city wall and met with the Qin soldiers in short arms, and the fight was inseparable.
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, the battlefield fight is not a competition, and personal martial arts are important, but they are not absolute.
The battlefield is the first thing to do, followed by the cooperation of teammates, and then to the superb fighting skills and sophisticated equipment.
Lin Ze looked at it, the equipment of the Western Qin soldiers may be slightly inferior, but in terms of momentum, mutual cooperation and fighting skills, they are obviously higher than the Qin army.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, is nothing more than that.
After estimating for a while, Lin Ze waved his hand, and the 20,000 army pressed again, as he expected, the key defense of the Qin State lies in the various city gates, and for ordinary city walls, the defense strength is limited.
Similar to trebuchets and bed crossbows, these deterrent weapons have not been seen on this section of the city wall.
However, this is only temporary, Western Qin attacked this section of the city wall, and the information was transmitted to the city, and it would not be long before the reserves in the city would arrive to support the defending Qin army.
Before the reinforcements arrived, it would be great if Western Qin could capture this section of the city wall.
If you can't take it......
At present, there are no military gods like Gongsun Qi and Wang Jian in the Qin State, who can guarantee that the Qin State will defend the army in all aspects, strictly defend it, and never make mistakes?
Besides, even if reinforcements came, if it was only to this extent, Lin Ze would be sure to break the city.
The 20,000 troops shouted in unison and rushed to the city wall, and the Western Qin soldiers who were besieging the city were suddenly shocked when they heard the sound, and their momentum broke out again.
Some soldiers climbed up a little faster, and some soldiers fought on the city wall, fighting more and more.
Lin Ze was quite satisfied with the performance of the Western Qin soldiers, and waved his hand to call Zhang Han and ordered: "You come to command the siege, focus on safety, if there is a big change, report to Gu immediately." ”
Zhang Han's face was overjoyed, and he replied: "Please rest assured." ”
Lin Ze didn't respond, and immediately immersed his mind, hooked up his own Dao Seed, and obtained the information of the Buddha and Confucian Celestials in the sky fighting Emperor Qin from the Heavenly Dao.
Lin Ze is not worried about the breaking of the city.
What Lin Ze is worried about is that up to now, Emperor Qin's hole cards have not been released, even if Chang'an City is broken, it may not be the same as the inference of the Three Sages, losing the mandate of heaven and being slaughtered arbitrarily.
After all, Chang'an City was really so important, shouldn't Emperor Qin defend the city with peace of mind? How could he take the initiative to provoke a battle with the four sages of Confucianism?
In other words, since Chang'an City is related to Emperor Qin's Mandate of Heaven, how can the other party have no backhand?
In Lin Ze's induction, the Emperor Avenue condensed by Emperor Qin was shining with golden light, and it was full of might, and from time to time it broke up the seven avenues of Meng Ke and others.
Meng Ke and others gave full play to the indomitable spirit, and the avenue dispersed and gathered, and fought a war of attrition with the Qin Emperor.
Just as Lin Ze was watching with relish, Dao Sheng's voice sounded in his ears: "Lin Ze, why are you stunned, don't take the opportunity to break through Chang'an, what are you watching there?"
Lin Ze was shocked when he heard this, and immediately cut off the connection with the Heavenly Dao, and replied: "What the teacher taught is that the disciple will concentrate on attacking the city. ”
Dao Sheng seemed to guess that Lin Ze had concerns in his heart, and said again: "Qin Huangzheng has his own teacher and Buddha Confucian Sage staring, you just let it go, don't worry about anything else." ”
As if feeling that this passage was not convincing enough, Dao Sheng added: "When the city is broken, it is the time for the three teachers to make a move." ”
The Three Saints want to do it themselves?
Lin Ze was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at the sky, but he could only see the white clouds, and he couldn't see the demeanor of the Dao Sage.
Meng Ke and the others couldn't take the Qin Emperor for a long time, couldn't the three saints hold it after all?
Putting aside these distractions for the time being, Lin Ze set his eyes on the city wall.
The words of the Dao have come to this point, and if it is perfunctory, I am afraid that it will not be settled by the queen of autumn.
On the walls of Chang'an, the Western Qin soldiers began to gain a firm foothold, forming formations to protect themselves, and waiting for their companions to come up.
Suddenly, there was a cheer in the city, and the Qin army on the city wall seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, attacking the Western Qin soldiers frantically regardless of casualties.
Obviously, reinforcements from the Qin army have arrived.
The number of Qin troops on the city wall suddenly increased dramatically, and stones, logs, and various resources to defend the city were continuously transported.
For a while, the situation reversed, and the momentum of both sides disappeared.
Under the struggle of the Qin army, the Western Qin soldiers who had just gained a foothold retreated and forced them to the edge of the city wall, and even some Western Qin soldiers were squeezed off the city wall.
Lin Ze decisively ordered: "The order is to collect the troops, and the archers are ready to release arrows to cover." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Han hurriedly persuaded: "Lord of the country, don't withdraw the army, you will be able to capture the city wall in one go, how can you withdraw the army?"
Lin Ze glanced at him and said coldly, "The fist was withdrawn in order to swing it out more powerfully." Such a simple truth, do you need to be taught by Lone?"
Zhang Han: "But ......"
Lin Ze interrupted: "No, if you are idle and have nothing to do, you can use your Grandmaster Realm cultivation to meet the retreat of the soldiers." ”
Zhang Han showed unwillingness, so he had to turn around and leave.
Ming Jinsheng remembered that the long-trained soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty did not love to fight, and withdrew under alternate cover.
Half of the Western Qin soldiers who climbed the city wall also got off the city wall alive and returned to the array, but their morale was a little low.
On the other hand, on the city wall, the victorious Qin army resounded with cheers, and the voices of taunting and insulting traitors were endless, which was used to defeat the morale of the Western Qin army.
Mocking this kind of skill will never go out of style, and many Western Qin soldiers showed grief and indignation when they saw this, but because of the belief in abiding by military discipline, it had long been engraved in their bones, and they couldn't press it.
Lin Ze looked at the cheering Qin Jun, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, it's time for you to feel what it means to fall from heaven to hell.
I saw Lin Ze shouting loudly: "Where is the master of the Divine Machine Battalion?"
A thin military general hurriedly came out and bowed: "The last general." ”
Lin Ze said in a deep voice: "Pull out all the 1,000 artillery pieces brought by your battalion and give the enemy a taste." ”
"The last general obeys," the Divine Machine Camp Master replied, turning and hurriedly leaving.
Not long after the army retreated, Lin Ze's voice sounded in his ears again: "Lin Ze, why did you order a retreat?"
Lin Ze bowed slightly and replied: "Returning to the teacher, this is the disciple's plan, it will be clear in a while, if Emperor Qin has no backhand, Chang'an City will be broken soon, please wait and see." ”
After a while, the voice of the Dao Sage no longer came, Lin Ze straightened up, and ordered the bed crossbow to be fired towards Chang'an City to paralyze the Qin army.
When the generals of the Qin army on the city wall saw this scene and saw that the army outside the city refused to disperse, they really thought that the Western Qin thieves were not dead and wanted to make a comeback, so they immediately ordered that while the rebels had not yet attacked the city, they prepared all kinds of city defense equipment and waited for it.
While the Qin army was preparing, artillery pieces were pushed to the front of the formation and lined up in a row.
The well-trained soldiers of the Shenji battalion began to adjust the angles, fix the wheels, fill the shells.
A quarter of an hour later, the Divine Machine Battalion Commander bowed down and asked, "Qi Qi Lord, the artillery is ready, do you want to fire it?"
Lin Ze raised his hand, pressed it down, and said in a deep voice: "Qi Fang." ”
The god machine battalion master who got the order immediately said in a loud voice: "The lord of the country has an order, light the torch, and prepare to release it." ”
Boom, torches lit up one after another.
The commander of the Qin army on the city wall couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, looked at the sky where the sun was shining, and muttered: "It's not dark yet, why did you light the torches?"
The Divine Machine Camp Master couldn't help but glance back at Lin Ze, and when he saw that his expression was indifferent, he shouted loudly: "Ignite the fire." ”
A thousand soldiers who were in charge of lighting the fire, almost simultaneously put torches on the lead.
A whistling sounded, and cannonballs cut through a graceful parabola, right in the middle of the city wall.
The commander of the Qin army only felt a sense of extreme danger coming, and only had time to shout: "Be careful to avoid the enemy's stone-throwing." ”
Then a huge roar sounded in his ears, and he felt a pain all over his body, and his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness permanently.
Not only this section of the city wall, but also the entire Chang'an City, shook for a while.
The Qin army defending the city in the rest of the places looked dazed, is this the ground moving?
After a thousand shells, there was no longer a standing figure on this section of the wall.
Lin Ze ordered with a cold face: "Go on." ”
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had been prepared for a long time, poured a bucket of water into the barrel of the cannon, cooled it down and cleaned it, and put in the second shell.
Then there was another wave of shaking.
After two times, Lin Ze ordered at the stunned Zhang Han: "Why are you stunned, why don't you lead the army to attack it quickly?"
"Oh, oh," Zhang Han came back to his senses, forgot to even salute, and ran away with his people, leading the army to attack the city wall with a ladder.
Soon, some Qin soldiers noticed the abnormality, beat gongs and drums, and called for reinforcements.
But the defenders of this section of the city wall, as well as the nearby reserve army, were all wiped out in this round of artillery fire, and who could defend the city in a short time?
Zhang Han climbed the city wall and stormed the city without much effort.
At the same time, a pair of Taiji diagrams, a string of Buddhist beads, and a sutra book all fell from the sky and hit the raging black dragon.
Hearing the black dragon's cry of grief, Emperor Qin suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell towards Xianyang Palace.
