Chapter 735: The First Battle Was Obstructed
No matter how big the city gate is, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to attack together. The first one to launch the offensive was just the first group of coalition forces.
Even so, the scene was very terrifying.
However, when the coalition forces rushed into an arrow, the ground suddenly collapsed, the soil sank, a long ditch about several meters wide, suddenly appeared outside the pass.
Amid the screams, countless soldiers fell into the ditch, and what followed was the screams one after another.
The long groove is not only covered with tincture oil, but also densely packed with sharpened wooden thorns, which suddenly fall into empty space and falls down, and it is directly stabbed into a hornet's nest.
Many soldiers had no time to react, so they crossed the corpse ditch, and bloody spikes penetrated their bodies, which were eye-catching and terrifying.
As a general, Ye Gui was also rushing to the front. Fortunately, he was very skilled and reacted quickly enough. He had a long spear at the bottom of the groove, and with the help of his power, he jumped back to the back.
But the coalition forces behind were still in charge. Suddenly, their speed stopped. In the crowd, they almost rushed Ye Gui into the ditch.
He crossed his spear and used it as a railing, and at the same time he shouted desperately: "Stop! Stop quickly!"
At this time, the coalition forces behind also knew that there was a slump in front and rushed to stop. However, they were too many people and saw clearly in front, but there was no way behind. In the crowd, there were crowds, and countless soldiers were pushed into the ditch by their own people, making shrill screams.
Seeing this, the Qin generals on the city wall immediately said: "Supervis Su, the enemy's offensive is blocked, and it is in chaos. The last general suggested that the rocket be released immediately."
"Don't be anxious." Su Yi said calmly: "Wait a little longer."
After a turmoil at the city, the coalition forces quickly stabilized their positions, and then under the future command of each unit, they began to put down ladders as temporary bridges.
The whole scene looked like ladders were everywhere on long ditches, and countless coalition soldiers stepped on the ladders and rushed towards the city gate.
It didn't take long for it. In the Changgou intercepted it, countless soldiers had gathered in the area under the city gate.
"It's now! Ignite! Shoot the arrow!" Su Yi ordered decisively.
With his orders, the Qin soldiers who had already prepared had taken arrows and set fire to the fire, pulled the bows all over, and fired volleys towards Changgou.
The arrows poured down with fire, shooting into the ditch in a mess.
And the long ditch was already covered with tinea oil, which could be said to be caught in the fire, and it was not something that could be stopped by the corpse.
When a fire broke out in just one place, it was like a tongue of fire, following the traces of tinder oil, and instantly filled the entire long groove.
The earth ditch had instantly become a wall of fire, and the ladders on the ditch were burning, and even the coalition soldiers passing by were burned into firemen, howling and running around.
Under the raging fire, the wooden ladder quickly lost its function, which was more like a burning object.
The heat wave came to his face, and the coalition forces behind stopped urgently again, and the firewall also divided its vanguard into two directly.
At the same time, the Qin army launched a fierce counterattack against the already-secret coalition forces.
Large rain of arrows, mixed with rocks and rolling wood, kept falling.
The coalition forces at the gates did not have the slightest power to fight back. They could not advance forward or retreat behind. The sound of arrows breaking armor into flesh did not stop at all. With the strong shooting, soldiers were shot to the ground one after another and stones were smashed down, and the damage was even greater. If they didn't dodge, they would die of bloodshed.
The screams filled the audience made the war extremely violent.
This was more like a unilateral massacre, because the coalition forces could not cross the fire wall to support them, and the siege equipment could not be transported at all.
There were at least thousands of coalition forces who used cloud ladders as bridges and crossed the long ditch, but under such a blow, they would probably be wiped out immediately.
At this time, Ye Gui couldn't rush over and hurried back to Huang Zu. But before he could speak, Huang Zu was already standing on the edge of the handsome car and raised his hand and shouted: "Mingjin!"
He was the commander of the entire army. With the order, the commander's flag swayed, and the sound of gold sounds sounded from behind. When the coalition soldiers who had not crossed the fire wall heard it, they immediately began to retreat in full swing.
Ye Gui said anxiously: "Ship Huang! He just sieges the city..."
"Let's stop the troops first." Huang Zu interrupted him and said indifferently: "Su Yi was careless when he dug a hole. This fire wall can't be overcome today."
"The soldiers in front!" Ye Gui was still anxious.
"They are dead! I can't save it!" Huang Zu glanced at him, waved his hand, and the handsome car turned around and began to leave the battlefield.
"This!" Ye Gui had no choice but to look back at the burning fire wall. After hesitation, he could only keep up with the large army.
With the coalition forces resounding and the main force retreating, thousands of soldiers under the city gate had no need to say much about the result.
Half an hour later.
The turbulent oil in the ditch was burned out, and the ladders had long since become ashes. Under the city gate, there were even corpses, blood flowing into a river, arrows piercing the ground, and rolling stones were everywhere.
One soldier and one soldier were not spent, and thousands of enemy troops were wiped out. The coalition was defeated in the first battle. After the war, the generals of the Qin army also had a hint of joy on their faces.
On the battlefield, it is very important to first reduce your spirits.
Looking at the tragic traces below, Su Yi said in a plain voice: "Xu Rong, take your troops to clean up the battlefield. You can use the rolling stones that can still be used, and then move them back and continue to use them tomorrow."
"No!" Xu Rong took the order and left.
At this time, Su Yi was not afraid that the coalition forces would suddenly fight back, because the opponent had to solve the problem first in that big ditch before launching a real fierce attack on Shanyuguan.
Under his order, the city gate opened and Xu Rong began to command the soldiers of the headquarters. In a group of two, he moved the available rolling stones back to the city again.
On the other side.
After withdrawing the troops, the coalition forces retreated dozens of miles to take a temporary rest and recuperation, Huang Zu immediately launched an emergency convene.
In the temporary tent, the generals quickly gathered, and many people felt a little frustrated on their faces.
Huang Zu looked around for a week and said, "For the battle, it is normal for the first battle to be blocked. Don't be discouraged, you should cheer up."
As he said, he said again: "In this battle, the Qin army dug a pit and set up an ambush, which was somewhat unexpected, but after all, the responsibility lies with me."
As the highest military commander, it is already very good that he could say this. When the generals heard this, they took a deep breath. Then, Hanzhou said: "Sir Huang, no one expected this matter. The most important thing at the moment was the problem of Changgou. In my opinion, if you want to launch a full-scale attack on Shanyuguan, this intercepted Changgou must be solved. If the Qin army set fire to another fire tomorrow and divide me into two, it will cause this situation today."
