Chapter 178 Shooting all
Although the Qin general Wang Xin was not qualified as a famous general, he was still first-class in accelerating morale. Under his command, the three thousand Qin troops rushed outside the Martial Saint Gate of Longcheng in one go.
The reason why he chose this place as the first target of the raid was because when he left yesterday, he had already observed the terrain. The terrain within dozens of miles outside the Martial Saint Gate was complex, and he was good at hiding his tracks and would not expose his target in advance. Moreover, the time he chose was just right. Almost as soon as they arrived near the city gate, twilight fell and pedestrians were rare, and it was the time when the soldiers guarding the city could not defend themselves.
All combat deployments have been conveyed to everyone. As long as you kill into the city gate, you don’t have to worry about anything. Since you already know that most people are likely to die here, the next thing you have to do is to let go and kill, causing the greatest trauma to the enemy’s royal city before the blood flows dry.
If you are lucky, the Qin soldiers of the Qin army hope to be able to break into Jinxiang Palace. Whether it is life or death, whether it is possible to kill or not, it is already the highest honor for the warriors to be able to sprinkle their blood in the palace of Zhao Kingdom.
Three thousand Qin troops descended from the sky and suddenly appeared outside the Martial Saint Gate. The dozen Zhao soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to be scared suddenly. When they saw the surging sword lights, they did not even resist. They screamed and ran away in a panic. They didn't even have time to close the city gate.
Wang Xin, who was leading the way in front, looked excited, which was exactly the result he wanted. As expected, the people of Zhao were indeed not prepared at all. It seemed that this resurgence was the right kill! The joy of winning was about to be filled with his chest, and he yelled.
"Kill in! Kill in."
Seeing the open city gate in front of you and the figure of Zhao Jun who was fleeing in panic, there was no need for the general to give instructions. The warriors of the Qin army knew what to do. At this time, there was no need to think about anything. Just rush forward with the wheel sword! Kill him, blood flows into a river, kill him, wind and clouds. Everything blocked the way was the enemy, and they were killed without mercy!
The black city gate was like a big mouth of a beast, and the three thousand warriors rushed in without hesitation. They wanted to use this method to use the knife in their hands to break the beast of Zhao and make the enemy tremble and fear in front of them.
The defenders of Zhao State ran too fast. They quickly ran across the inner city gate and disappeared at the end of the long street of Longcheng. The Qin army, who were scrambling to cross the suspension bridge and enter the Wusheng Gate, easily seized the city gate without bloodshed. Many people were excited and regretful. They originally thought that they would have to go through a bloody battle and make a major sacrifice to enter Longcheng. But now, their eyes passed through the twilight in front of them, and they could vaguely see the lights on the streets of Longcheng. As long as they rushed through the inner city gate more than a hundred feet away, they could do whatever they wanted.
"While Zhao Jun has not reacted yet, continue to rush in! The final target, Jinxiang Palace... Kill!"
The brave and fearless Qin general's sword rayed through the twilight, roared loudly, and headed straight to the inner city gate. His sword wanted to drink blood and lead his men to achieve great achievements.
However, sometimes glorious dreams and nightmares on earth are often separated by one door. Perhaps, on that side is the battlefield of heroes, but on this side, there is only cruel purgatory left!
Longcheng, known as one of the four famous cities in the world, has an extremely large building scale. Its four main city gates, southeast, west and north, are not only majestic in the city walls and arrow towers, but also the inner city with half of its defensive nature, are built very wide. This part of the area between the inner city gate and the outer city gate is commonly called "玲". As the name suggests, you can understand the structure and shape of this part.
The main role of the urn city in military is in addition to defensive buffering. When a battlefield is set up outside the city, a large number of troops can be stationed here and you can go out of the city to fight at any time. Therefore, its role is very important.
Today, the Qin army, who thought he was scheming, had never expected that the Zhao people had already set a trap for them here. Within a distance of hundreds of feet from the outer city gate to the inner city gate, they would be a life-and-death line that they would never be able to rush through. The Zhao army, who was waiting for the battle, was staring at the prey with cold eyes and entering the scheduled massacre site at the high walls on both sides!
Wang Xin, who was still a few steps away from rushing to the nearest inner city gate, suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from above his head. He hesitated a little in his heart, and watched a thousand-pound gate fall down, and the inner city gates were all closed, cutting off all of them.
Wang Xin and his subordinates were shocked. Before they could look up to check the surrounding situation, they heard the soldiers behind them screaming loudly. But it turned out that the outer city gate was also closed at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, the huge bell rang out from the top of the head, desolate and long. After three sounds, thousands of torches illuminated the place, and the majestic sound of beating the drums was breathtaking.
"Not good! There is an ambush..."
Wang Xin suddenly had a soul. If he still didn't understand what was going on now, it would be too stupid. When all the Qin soldiers looked up, they saw countless shadows of Zhao soldiers appearing on the high city walls. The crossbow arrows and swords were shining in the fire, as if they were ready to harvest their lives at any time.
"What should I do now, General?"
The subordinates surrounded him and his face was panicked. Even though they had already decided to die before coming, no one was willing to accept the situation now. They were closed and beaten up by dogs and caught turtles in a jar. If they died like this, it would be too frustrating!
Wang Xin gritted his teeth and looked at the figure of the enemy that appeared. What could he do? He blamed himself for being too careless and was eager to make contributions. He led these three thousand people into a trap that had been set up. Now, let alone killing King Zhao, Chu Jiangmian, even the shadow of a Zhao man could not be killed.
"Everyone below listened, immediately threw down his weapons and took off his armor, tied his hands and surrendered on the spot! Otherwise, kill him without any hesitation!"
Someone shouted sternly from a high place, his tone full of murderous intent. Wang Xin looked around and looked at all the Qin soldiers, and he only asked indifferently.
"Are you going to surrender?"
"Never surrender! General, let us maintain the dignity of the last Great Qin army!"
"Okay! The Qin men will never surrender in the enemy's royal city... Listen to the Zhao army on the city! Even if your grandfather dies in battle today, his soul will remain here. Soon, he will watch the Qin army stepping on the Dragon City with his own eyes and killing all the people of Zhao! Hahaha!"
Wang Xin laughed wildly to the sky. Some of the Qin soldiers who knew they could not escape were laughing wildly with their generals, while others used swords to chop the city gates in an attempt to get a glimmer of life. Some shot arrows on the city walls, struggling to death, regardless of whether they had a correct leader or not.
In the fire at the height of the city wall, Long Yu, the general of the Dragon Cavalry in armor, listened to the shouting below, and curled his lips boredly, signaling the captain who had just called not to waste his words. If it weren't for King Zhao's orders, he would have been too lazy to spend all his efforts. Since the Qin army was so righteous and generous to die, he would of course have to fulfill them!
In fact, according to what Long Yu thought, he really wanted to lead his cavalry to charge to eliminate these ignorant Qin troops. However, since it was the personal order of King Zhao, he had to jump off the war horse like the five thousand dragon cavalry and walk up the city. This young general who had been outstanding since the age of the former kings finally turned around and looked at the tall bell tower. Although he could not see the person above, he knew that King Zhao Chu Jiangmian and the important ministers of Wang Ting were watching the battle there.
"Start! Shoot all, don't leave any living mouth."
With his order, the sound of war drums stopped and ten thousand crossbows were launched at once. The condescending Zhao army began to easily harvest prey with the magic crossbow in their hands. For them, this was not a war of symmetrical power, but just a shooting range with live targets.
The archers who wanted to fight in the Qin army were all shot and killed immediately. The bows and arrows they shot out could not cause any harm to the Zhao army, who protected the armor of the whole body and used the arrow pile as a cover. The opponent's powerful crossbow arrows directly penetrated their heads, necks and other key areas. Within such a close distance, even ordinary armor and shields could not block the dense rain of arrows.
As a general of the three thousand Qin army, Wang Xin naturally became a target of special care. Almost in the blink of an eye, he was hit by dozens of arrows, and the passionate general turned into an iron hedgehog. The descendant of this general in the Wang clan was able to say that he was seeking kindness and died extremely tragic.
The torches lit up on the city wall illuminated the surroundings and saw clearly from a high place. When the screams tore the tranquility of the night and reached his ears, Wang Jian, who witnessed all this, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his heart was ashamed.
"Even I will kill you!"
He glared at the figure who was high above and said this sentence with gritted teeth. However, the other party did not even look down at him. The king's eyes crossed the blood and killing, and looked at the deep night sky. The brightest star appeared there, which made all the stars around him dimly pale.
"General Wang, I won't kill you like this. As a general, even if you want to die, you should die on the battlefield between the two armies... Go back with peace of mind! You can return soon."
"If you don't kill me today, you will regret it. In the future, I will personally lead the Qin army and come to Longcheng to avenge the dead soldiers!"
"Very good! I also hope that this day will come soon. The eight famous generals of Qin... Haha! I really hope to see each one of them."
