Chapter 306 Fight
.The next day, just as the sky was dawn, the Qin army began to attack in large numbers.
Deng Qiang felt really uncomfortable this night. He had not slept all night and was tired. He was wearing a silver battle robe and a black cloak roar in the wind, and his body was agile.
The old three-way pioneered the way, and the suppression of the catapult and the crossbow was more violent than ever. Large pieces of stones bombarded Lei's good sandbag fortifications. The crossbow flew past the city with a scream. The entire northern city wall was filled with smoke and dust, and there was no sign of people; the northern city wall was full of holes, but it just stood firm.
This time, the Qin soldiers and archers were as soon as they approached the range, and they were hit hard by the Northern Mansion Army. The Northern Mansion Army did not wait until the other party vented their willfully before defending the enemy. Instead, they saw that the Qin soldiers and archers had the intention to move and rushed to the top of the city with the rain of stones.
Both sides suffered casualties, and in comparison, the Northern Prefecture Army suffered more casualties.
After half an hour of madness, the horn sounded, and Sun Hu and Sun Bao's vanguard army rushed towards Chaohu City with 10,000 people, who were responsible for building the floating bridge.
Everything went smoothly. After hundreds of casualties, twenty floating bridges were steadily set up. Under the fierce suppression of archers from behind, the Qin soldiers flocked in. Soon nearly four thousand Qin soldiers rushed across the moat, and more than a hundred ladders slid out of long arms to the top of the city.
This wheeled ladder has a metal hook at the top, and the noose under the paparazzi wall is tightened. The four wheels are stuck with clamping bolts, so it is extremely stable. It is impossible for people in front of you to push the ladder away. Moreover, the ladder is equipped with shields, hooks and other objects to defend and fight back.
More than a hundred ladders here are on the top of the city, and the rain of arrows on both sides has stopped. The guards of the city have fired arrows without flaws. Because the hand-to-hand combat has begun, there are no people on the top of the city, so there are no places where archers can do their best to shoot arrows while fighting. The Qin army was afraid of hurting their own people by chance and could not shoot arrows again.
The battlefield entered the most cruel and most challenging hand-to-heart battle. Four thousand Qin soldiers flocked in, using cloud ladder shields to block the stone rolling wood from the surface. More than ten people were climbing on each ladder truck. The subsequent troops were still crossing the river continuously, and one ladder after another was pushed across the river and joined the climbing ranks.
At the same time, six giant wood pointed cars and iron-packed city buses were slowly pushing across the river and heading towards the city gate under the push of more than a hundred great men.
On the city wall, soldiers of the North Mansion shouted loudly and cursed and rolled them round one by one. The thick giant trees pushed down and the huge rocks at the top of the city. The Qin soldiers kept falling down from the ladder, and the more than a dozen soldiers who led the entire ladder to the end like dominoes.
Limited tin oil was also used. The whole can of tinder oil flew the ladder and threw a torch down, which could turn the ladder truck into a train. However, after fire prevention, the ladder truck was covered with dried mud on the surface. The tinder oil could only adhere to it, and the fire could be extinguished. In addition, there were skin bags under the ladder and water was suspended. There were more than 30 skin bags below. The fire burned the skin and water came out to extinguish it. Therefore, such a small fire did not damage the ladder. However, the soldiers were affected and were poured with tinder oil. They could not extinguish it. The skin was burned and the flesh was rotten and rolled all over the ground. The soldiers around them also provided flawless rescue. They were lucky to extinguish the flames, and they were not lucky to burn them directly into coke.
Deng Qiang was shocked and his horse responded. When the river receded, he received news. While cursing the Northern Mansion Army, he shouted loudly to prepare sandbags and stones. He wanted to fill the moat directly. This was a stupid method, but in some cases, a stupid method was a good method, and it was at this time.
"Arrowmen look at the city and shoot arrows, cover the army to fill the river, and shoot all the remaining bullets out." Deng Qiang said with red eyes.
"General, there are our people on the other side." A personal guard reminded.
Deng Qiang looked at the three thousand soldiers who were running around in scattered under the city opposite. His face was cold and he only said two words: "Execute!"
"As for the order!" The guard turned around and sent a command. The catapulted car immediately pushed the crossbow, and the buzzing crossbow began to buzz. Five thousand archers rushed to the range and rockets shot towards the city like meteors. The remaining 10,000 soldiers rushed to the river, dug the materials and dug the soil on the spot and put them in straw bags and threw them into the river.
The city was suddenly filled with flesh and blood, and the Northern Prefecture Army was killed and injured. Most of the three thousand Qin soldiers who were fleeing scattered under the city were also killed and injured. The remaining legs were fast, and one of them ran out of the attack area, hiding in the dead corner, gasping for breath.
There were too many casualties, so Yuan Gang had no choice but to order all of them to evacuate from the city. More than 10,000 Qin soldiers spread within a small three-mile range, and the speed of building the dam was astonishingly fast; fifty or sixty dams built with mud, soil, gravel and gravel were built to the center of the river in a short time.
Several arrows rose into the sky in Chaohu City. The three thousand Northern Prefectures at the mouth of the Ruxu River quickly demolished the embankment after hearing the news. The river water surging into the dry moat, like a white dragon rushing from east to north towards the Qin army's dam construction site.
The water was fierce, and the closest dams were immediately destroyed. Hundreds of soldiers fell into the cold and surging rivers and struggled to call for help. However, for these dams blocked, the water gradually became flattened, and the dozens of dams behind were safe and sound, but the water was getting deeper and deeper, making it more difficult to build a dam.
Deng Qiang coldly ordered that the dam be built to continue to be built without being disturbed by the tricks of the Northern Prefecture Army. He pushed the damaged catapults and ladders into the river to block the water flow, and could be used as a frame for mud to wrap stones, and the progress of the dam construction did not slow down much.
...
Xie An stood on the city tower and looked at all this, sighing: "After all, the trick is just a sub-scheming of the devil. The real battle is not a trick. Although the Qin army lost six or seven thousand people in this plan to remove firewood from the cauldron, when they made up their minds, nothing could stop it."
Next to him was Xie Daoyun wearing a yellow dress and covered her face with a light gauze. He nodded slightly after hearing this, "Uncle is talking about the truth. After all, the devil is a devil. He can only get some small profits and has little gain to the overall situation. I hope that accumulating a small victory can lead to the final big victory."
Xie An was silent for a while and said, "Han Mu is probably coming back soon. If he doesn't come back, there is still no one in the Northern Palace Army. As long as he can get back, he will win this battle."
Xie Daojun's eyes shot deep thoughts. That guy hasn't seen him for three months. Has he become fat or thin, mature, or is he as sloppy as before?
