General Qin.

Chapter 156 The Battle Under the City
"put!"

At the head of Xingyang City, an order was issued.

A salvo of bows and crossbows was fired, and the sky was filled with arrows pouring down like a torrential rain.

Because of sprinting with all their strength and rushing to the forefront, the Wei Jun chariots and cavalry who could not stop in time suffered from the baptism of arrows.

In an instant, more than a dozen cavalrymen screamed and fell down, and even the driver of one of the ten chariots was shot down on the spot, and another chariot collided with a cavalry in a panic, and they were thrown off their feet.

In just a short moment, nearly one-tenth of Wei's cavalry troops were lost.

The rest of the chariots and cavalry turned their horses' heads in panic, away from the coverage of the arrows at the top of the city.

"Lieutenant, this Wei army failed to attack our Xingyang City, and has already panicked. The last general asks for orders to go out of the city to meet him, and he will definitely be defeated!"

"That's right, the last general is going to fight, and General Wei must be captured and presented to the captain!"

At the head of Xingyang City, Tu Sui's officers and officers pleaded for orders one after another.

Tu Sui first smiled, then rolled his eyes, and cursed, "Zhan your stinky ass."

"The military order my lieutenant received was to protect the food and grass in Xingyang City. As long as you keep here, you will be credited. I am sick, why do you want to go out and beat them? Anyone of you who wants to go out and fight, just jump from here. Come on, this will come sooner!"

After being scolded by Tu Sui, those military officials were not afraid, they all laughed.

After scolding his subordinates, Tu Sui narrowed his eyes to look at the chaotic Wei army below the city.

"If it weren't for the fact that there were only 5000 people in the city, and they had to guard the food and supplies. Naigong would have killed him long ago, chopped off General Wei's head to piss, and it would be the turn of these little bastards to ask for orders. But didn't General Xiao Wang's messenger say , Will he send someone to intercept them? Why are these scorpions running slower than the Wei people?

Under the city, the slightly chaotic Wei army.

"Impossible! How could Xingyang City have been on guard for a long time? Could it be that the news that our army intends to raid this place has leaked."

Zhou Shi was shocked, watching his chariots and cavalrymen who went to snatch the city gate were shot and ran away, while the city was full of black-armored Qin troops, fully armed, and they looked like they had been prepared for a long time.

"Zhou City!"

Wei Bao's sharp voice sounded, his face was distorted, and he pointed at Zhou Shi and shouted: "Didn't you say that the Qin army must be unprepared when we raid Xingyang, and we will succeed? I ran so far with you, and this is what we are waiting for." The result? What's going on here, tell me!"

How high-spirited Wei Bao was just now, and how frustrated he is now.

Not only did the raid on Xingyang fail, but also because Wei Bao's dream of being a hero was shattered at this moment, and his heart ached to the extreme.

"Young master, I don't know..."

Zhou Shi opened his mouth with difficulty.

They were extremely cautious along the way, and marched to avoid the main cities controlled by the Qin army.

The Qin people they encountered on the road were all killed, and the Wei people either killed the old and weak, women and children, or recruited young and strong men into the army, trying not to leak any news, but they were still a step too late.

The Qin army closed the gates of the city, and the soldiers were waiting at the top of the city.

Is this the cautious approach of Qin generals stationed in Xingyang?

Or did he know the news that he would raid in advance?
While commanding his subordinates to control the chaotic army, Zhou Shi said: "My lord, the walls of Xingyang City are high and thick. If it is a surprise attack, we still have a chance to capture the city, but now that the city is well prepared, with our army's state and combat It is absolutely impossible to win. For now, we have to retreat temporarily."

Wei Bao laughed angrily and said, "Retreat? Where are you going to retreat? Do you want to run for another ten days and return to Huzhou Township?"

Zhou Shi shook his head, and was about to speak when he heard the noise from the soldiers again.

"Qin Army!"

He looked sideways and saw the avenue in the south of Xingyang City, and an army holding a black flag appeared on the road.

……

"Commander Zuo Shu, our army has been on a continuous journey for thirty miles. The soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted, and one out of three people has fallen behind. At this moment, our army's condition is not suitable for launching an attack!"

In the Qin army, one of the two or five hundred masters couldn't help admonishing Huan Zhao.

Huan Zhao was standing on the car at the moment, looking at the Wei army in chaos under Xingyang City in the distance, and was proud that the timing of his arrival was just right, when he heard the words of the two or five hundred masters, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Our army is indeed exhausted from the journey, but the state of the Wei army may not be much better."

"The conditions of the two armies are similar, but the morale of the two armies is far different. Our army is eager to fight, and we must strive to be the first in order to make meritorious service. However, the Wei army failed to raid Xingyang, and it was a time of panic. When our army came here in pursuit, it must be in chaos. .In this way, it is time to annihilate them in one go!"

"Not to mention that there are our reinforcements in Xingyang City, as long as the defenders in the city leave the city and join forces to attack, what kind of waves will these Wei people make? Don't talk too much!"

Huan Zhao looked at Wei Jun under the city with red eyes.

These are all his upgraded military achievements!

After Yang Xiong reported the matter, Huan Zhao sent people to send a letter to the commander of Daliang, and at the same time arranged for the defense of his men in various places in Chenliu. Finally, he squeezed out two thousand soldiers, led the troops to Daliang, and challenged Wang Ben.

Wang Ben was also surprised when he heard the news that the Hanoi army was defeated and that the Wei army's surprise troops might raid Xingyang.

If there is a mistake in Xingyang, something big will happen. In addition to sending urgent messengers to order Xingyang to guard Xingyang, Wang Ben sent 3000 people under Huan Zhao's command to bring support to Xingyang.

As a result, Huan Zhao set off several days later than Wei Jun.

He was afraid that the Wei army would attack Xingyang ahead of time and the Qin army's rations would be burned, and he was also afraid that the Xingyang defenders would be too strong and would wipe out the Wei army.

"That idiot Zhao Tuo, didn't he bring 1000 people to follow Wei Jun? Why did Wei Jun still run so fast, and there are still so many people? Could it be that Zhao Tuo's 1000 people were wiped out?"

Thinking of this, Huan Zhao said proudly again: "Sure enough, a hairless boy is unreliable, and I still need to personally take action to take down this Wei army."

Standing on the command vehicle, Huan Zhao raised his arms and shouted, "Beat the drums with me on the left and right, and encourage the soldiers to march!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The drums of the Qin army were beating, and the soldiers of the Qin army who had just marched thirty miles to this place could finally catch their breath, when they suddenly heard the sound of the drums, they were all miserable.

After running for thirty miles in one breath, he was about to fight with others desperately, and he really didn't treat people as human beings.

The soldiers cursed in a low voice, but they had no choice but to hold the spears and halberds in their hands, and under the urging of the military officials, they rushed towards the Wei army with their tired bodies.

Listening to the beating of war drums, seeing that the Qin army on the south side was attacking its own side, there was a commotion in the Wei army.

Wei Bao was so frightened that his face turned pale, while secretly hating himself for being so stupid as to listen to Zhou Shi's surprise attack plan, and ran to the territory of Qin to die.While shouting: "Quick retreat, don't be overtaken by Qin Jun."

Zhou Shi shouted: "Young master, the morale of our army is not stable. Now that we are facing the attack of the Qin army, if we order to retreat, we will be defeated for thousands of miles, and no one will be able to escape!"

Wei Bao roared, "Then what do you say?"

Zhou Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Instigate the soldiers to fight with them. Now the Qin army in Xingyang City has not left the city, and our army is only facing this new Qin army."

"In my opinion, they have just arrived, and they must be exhausted. And the number of them is about the same as our army. The way out for our army today is to defeat the Qin army in the city before they leave the city, so that we can retreat calmly!"

At this time, Chen Ping, who had been brought by Wei Bao's side all the time, suddenly said, "Young Master, General Zhou is right. Only in this way can our army have a chance of survival. However, the Qin army in the city may also go out of the city to form a pincer attack. In my opinion, General Zhou can lead [-] soldiers to defeat the Qin army, while Young Master can lead [-] young men from Humai Township to stand in front of the city gate, to form a deterrent to the city, so that they dare not leave the city easily."

When Chen Ping said this, he quietly winked at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao understood, and hurriedly said: "That's it, I will bring 1000 people to block the front of the city to deter the Qin army in the city. General Zhou, I will leave the matter of defeating the enemy to you."

Now that the Qin army launched an attack, the Wei army might collapse at any time. Although Zhou Shi felt that it was useless for Wei Bao and his 1000 men to stay here, he didn't have time to argue.

Seeing that Zhou Shi had left, Wei Bao asked, "Chen Ping, what's the point of you asking me to stay with the troops just now?"

Chen Ping leaned over and whispered in Wei Bao's ear, "My lord, if the Qin army on the south side doesn't show up, the Qin army in the city probably won't leave the city for the sake of keeping safe. We can retreat calmly."

"But now that they have reinforcements appearing outside the city, they won't sit idly by. As long as our army fights with the Qin army on the south side, the Qin army in the city will definitely follow and attack from inside and outside, so our army will definitely be large. defeat!"

Wei Bao said: "These 1000 people..."

"These 1000 people are escorting the young master to leave. It is impossible for a mere thousand people to be the opponent of the Qin army. I am afraid that the opponent will collapse on the spot if they charge. We will do this when the time comes..."

"The military judge will kill all those who retreat! Those who dare to retreat will die!"

Zhou Shi rode his horse and roared. Facing the Qin army attacking from the south, relying on the prestige accumulated all the way, he really suppressed the 3000 Wei soldiers, and the Wei army barely lined up to the south. .

"Our army has penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. If we lose this battle, we will die!"

"Don't expect the brutal Qin people to pity your lives. If you lose today, your heads will be piled up at the gate of this city tomorrow, stinking and rotten!"

"If you want to live, just charge me to the death!"

"Come on!"

The Wei soldiers were encouraged. They had already been told that they were now in the Qin state, ten days away from the Humen Township controlled by the Wei army. The army greeted him.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

At this time, the distance between the two sides had no time to shoot arrows. The Wei and Qin armies fought hand in hand and collided with each other.

Seeing the battle between the two armies, Zhou Shi from the Central Army shouted, "Where are the first daredevils?"

"Here is the daredevil!"

Fifty people responded loudly, holding their swords and halberds high.

They are the diehards of the Wei state selected by Zhou Shi from among the 3000 people, and they are loyal and brave men who can die for the country.They came all the way in the carriage behind them, full of physical strength and spirit, and they were the warriors specially used by Zhou City as the first to attack the city.

This is also his hole card!
It's a pity that the raid on Xingyang failed, and they were not needed to go up first, but now they can be used as surprise soldiers to attack the Qin army!

"Huai Zhuang, you lead the team to attack and kill the banner of the Qin army from the side!"

"only!"

Wei Zhuhuai, who was eight feet and five inches tall, roared furiously. He led his men who dared to die, bypassed the frontal battlefield, and rushed straight to the banner of the Qin army from the side. Behind him, there were soldiers sent by Zhou Shi. Five hundred soldiers followed.

He wants to use these fifty daredevil warriors as arrows to break through the Chinese army and kill the commander of the Qin army!

At this moment, Huan Zhao was standing on the command vehicle, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

Because in his imagination, shouldn't that Wei army collapse and flee when he launched an attack?
How can he still have the courage to fight with his own troops, and his morale is so high that it is even comparable to his own.

No, to be precise, Qin Jun was being beaten and retreated steadily.

Thirty miles of trekking, without repairing and forming the formation, there is not much combat power at all.

Huan Zhao even saw a Wei army charging towards him from the side.

The soldiers of the Wei army who rushed to the front were very brave, especially the big man. Every time he swung the halberd in his hand, he could knock a soldier of the Qin army to the ground, as if he had endless strength. The soldiers of the Wei army behind him also Everyone is not afraid of life and death, even if they are stabbed to the vitals by Qin Zu with a sword, they still howl and rush forward to fight with flesh and blood.

"Dare to die!"

Huan Zhao's face turned blue, and these words popped out of his teeth. He knew that he was careless this time, and rushed forward for greed. As a result, Wei Jun in front of him was not the soft persimmon he imagined, but a hard nut to crack. Now he has to use that hard bone spur to stab Huan Zhao's throat.

But Huan Zhao can't run, even if the death squad of the Wei army is rushing towards him, he can't leave, if he runs and the banner moves, the whole army will be defeated!
But if you don't run, then...

"City defenders, come out!"

Huan Zhao was anxious in his heart, looking at Xingyang City in the distance, hoping that his colleagues in the city would get out of the city quickly and save him.

"This is the person General Xiao Wang sent to intercept the Wei army? Whose subordinates are these people?"

"The general's brain should not be eaten by dogs. Even if he wants to attack, he has to wait until the Wei army starts to retreat, and then chase all the way. That will easily turn into chasing death and chasing the north. How about now? The leader of the army not only A lame Jian, and a brainless fool."

Tu Sui was cursing on the city wall, but he couldn't just sit back and watch his allies be wiped out by the Wei people right under their noses.

"Play the drums for me!"

"Ren Xiao, you bring 1000 people out from the south gate..."

At the same time, Chen Ping, who had been waiting all the time, heard the sound of drums in the city and hurriedly said to Wei Bao: "My lord, the Qin army in the city is about to come out, and General Zhou will definitely not be able to stop it. Let's take this opportunity to retreat. These people stay behind as bait, and our 1000 people will surely escape!"

Wei Bao also heard the sound of drums in the city, but he showed hesitation, because at this moment, the Wei army led by Zhou Shi was very brave, and even suppressed the Qin army to retreat steadily, with a glimmer of hope of victory.

In this case, Wei Bao didn't want to escape.

The Wei army led by Zhou Shi is actually so powerful!

This made Wei Bao ambitious. If he could bring these 1000 people forward, he might be able to help Zhou Shi completely defeat the Qin army outside the city and reproduce the great victory under the city of Jiyang.

Even if the surprise attack on Xingyang failed this time, with this big victory, Wei Bao would surely become famous all over the world.

However, just when Wei Bao was about to speak, he froze, staring fixedly at Chen Ping's rear, the direction they had just marched in.

"Sir?"

Chen Ping sensed something was wrong, turned his head to look, his mouth was wide open, and he could stuff an egg into it.

On the top of the city, before Tu Sui's order was finished, he opened his eyes wide, pointed to the outside of the city and shouted: "His mother, where did this army come from?"

On the road leading to Yangwu and other eastern counties.

A Qin army with a clean-up appearance is approaching.

The black flag fluttered with the wind, spears and halberds pointed to the sky like a forest, and the bronze sword and long beryllium reflected brilliant light in the sun.

A chariot slowly drove in front of the army.

On the chariot, the young Qin general in armor and sword stood proudly.

Looking at the battlefield in the distance, Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Where did this friendly army come from? They are so good."
