Chapter 660: Fierce Battle (Part 2)
The soldiers of the siege gathered their courage and once again rushed forward with great sacrifice. This time, even some regiment commanders and battalion commanders rushed forward. The commanders who led the army greatly encouraged the soldiers, making the offensive particularly lasting, and it still did not fall for half an hour.
There were battlefields everywhere on the city walls, with swords and swords flying, and blood spreading everywhere. The Qi army officers and soldiers were struggling and finally made mistakes... All the soldiers defending the south wall were killed, and the reserve team's attention was also attracted elsewhere. For a moment, a gap of several feet wide appeared without defense!
What's even more surprising is that the Qin army under the city did not notice this and was still arching its head to attack!
But Qin Lei in the distance could see clearly, and he quickly pulled Xia Suiyang over, asked him to take his sword, and went forward to send orders to Prince Yong.
Xia Daxia is worthy of being a Ziyun Swordsman, and his body is as elegant as a flowing cloud. He can dodge left and right, easily crossing the position that is difficult to stand, and soon arrives at Qin Li.
The personal soldiers of the royal family were about to stop him, and when they saw the golden sword held high in Xia Suiyang's hand, they knew it was the sword of the Great Marshal King, and immediately gave up their way.
"Prince, look over there!" Xia Suiyang shouted before he could salute Qin Li.
Following his sight, Qin Li suddenly saw the gap and said, "Oh": "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Before he could organize the troops, he actually led the guards to the wall. Xia Suiyang was so scared that his face turned pale and shouted, "The prince asked you to organize the offensive, not to let you take the arrows and stones!"
Qin Li laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, your uncle's weapon has not been built yet!" As he said, he shouted loudly, "Children, let's go!" "Whoever brings what soldiers?" This is not true at all. Prince Yong's personal soldiers are also outlaws. He immediately surrounded a ladder and charged forward with agility.
It was not until a few personal soldiers rushed forward that the approaching Qi army woke up as if they were dreaming and rushed over. But these personal soldiers of the royal palace were all masters who had been fighting for the rest of their lives. They set up their formations without panic, and no matter how many Qi army rushed over, they could block them back!
The Qin army under the city wall naturally took advantage of the situation and rushed to the city wall more and more, and even defeated the Qi army soldiers from defense to attack, and gradually began to be unable to withstand it.
At this critical moment, a group of burly armored warriors appeared behind the Qi army formation, accompanied by the leader's roar, "Retreat!" The Qi army soldiers were as if they were amnesty, and all retreated... Of course, they were not going to go down the city, but to support others.
These warriors wearing fiery red armor, each of which is more than nine feet tall and is equipped with a heavy sabre. They are barbarian warriors recruited by Chen Liefeng from the bitter and cold land in the extreme north and a lot of money! In terms of individual combat power, they may be the first of all the troops in the world... Unfortunately, they are a little less and cannot form a team. They are not very useful except to protect his safety.
But it is really great to use as a trump card when defending the city!
These tall and big bulls held high a saberata and rushed to the Qin army formation like a tiger going down the mountain. With that impulse, they used a sudden attack!
Seeing these giant-like guys, the Qin soldiers were panicked first. The enemy was busy blocking it when they got closer, but they were chopped in half with their swords... Even the personal soldiers of the royal palace were no match for them, and they were beaten to pieces in a few strokes. If they were not for their rich practical experience, they would have been stabbed or two.
After suffering a head-on blow, the Qin army's good offensive was immediately disrupted, and the formation at the top of the city was getting smaller and smaller, and it had shrunk to a range about a ft. in front of the cloud ladder.
Seeing the good situation in a blink of an eye, Qin Li remembered that his eyes were red. He picked up a machete and wanted to climb up the ladder. However, Xia Suiyang hugged his legs tightly... The poor old hero is also in his sixties and he still has to hug his thighs here, which shows how inappropriate it is to eat.
"Let go!" Qin Li said annoyedly, and used the hilt of the knife to slash his back. Xia Daxia cried and called his parents in pain, but he didn't dare to let go. He had to whisper to the person next to him: "You are not here to help, the prince has an order, the uncle cannot go up!" The personal soldiers of the royal family were about to pull him away, but after hearing this, Xia Suiyang shouted again: "As long as the uncle goes up to the city wall, I...we will all die!" In fact, it was his own responsibility, but now he doesn't care. Just lie, as long as the goal can be achieved.
Sure enough, the soldiers of the royal family quickly unified their understanding and helped Xia Suiyang, who was about to vomit blood, lowered Prince Yong's weapon and pressed him down hard.
Qin Li was so anxious that he cursed, but he was pressed down with countless hands and could not move his head. He could only let these people carry the beam and lift it away from the city wall.
Qin Li turned around hard and saw that the siege troops there were dead, and the remaining few veterans had already retreated from the city wall. This attack was obviously in vain.
Seeing Qin Li being safely brought back, Qin Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he made people shout to withdraw his troops.
‘Dangdangdangdangdangdangdang…’ The harsh gong sounded under the city on weekdays, but the soldiers on both sides stopped fighting at the same time as if they heard the sound of immortals.
The Qin soldiers quickly retreated from the city as if they were in a tide. Before leaving, they did not forget to retreat the siege cart. The Qi soldiers wanted to attack again and leave some Qin troops as their companions. Unfortunately, after a day of battle, they had already reached the limit. When the string was loose, they could not collapse again. They had to watch the other party swaying across the river, counted the number of people, and maintained a defensive formation, and slowly retreated.
Chen Liefeng knew that things were not possible, so he ordered the whole army to rest on the spot. The Huofu stepped up cooking and delivered it to the top of the city. He himself began to patrol the city walls full of corpses and devastated... The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
I saw that there was no complete arrow tower along the way. Only by relying on the ruins and walls, can it be recognized where it was originally located. The newly built outer wall of the city wall was already full of holes two years ago. This was not a tofu project, but a hard stone brick heaved from Songshan. How could it be blown up to the potholes? Many places also revealed the original blue-gray city bricks, and the new bricks were completely blown up.
What kind of power is this? In this way, it may be possible to smash the city wall in half a month! Chen Junmen couldn't help but breathe a breath of air. With his decades of experience, he could not think of a way to deal with it. He could only order people to assemble bricklayers and prepare to strengthen the city wall at night... In fact, he also knew that cramming temporarily was useless, but he would always feel more comfortable in this way.
Thinking of the floating bridge on the moat, he planned to send troops out to demolish it, but when he looked up, he saw that the Qin army had already put it away. This feeling was really bad. He muttered softly, "It's really damn!" Suddenly, he felt a little sticky under his feet. With decades of experience, Chen Liefeng knew that the blood on the ground had begun to solidify, and there were probably internal organs and limbs, and he couldn't help but frown in disgust.
I wanted to do it and comfort the wounded soldiers all over the ground, but suddenly I lost interest. I walked down the city wall without any chance and said in a deep voice: "After-strike team."
The Qin army retreated three miles away and went to the camp. When they attacked the city during the day, the civilians had already set up the camp. In the evening, they boiled water and cooked the meal. Therefore, as soon as they came back, they soaked their feet in hot water to fill their hunger. After eating, they fell asleep. This saved them from dragging their tired bodies and doing these chores.
Qin Lei had no time to eat. What he had to do was similar to Chen Liefeng, and he also had to inspect his subordinates. But the difference was that Chen Junmen's attention was on the city defense, while his attention was on the soldiers.
As soon as he saw the prince appear, there was a riot in the camp. Qin Lei waved his hand to signal the officers and soldiers to do their own things, and laughed gently, "Just give me a polite manner."
The officers and soldiers smiled silly and still gave Qin Lei a big gift. Then they looked at him with anticipation, hoping that he would give an exciting speech like the legendary one.
How could Qin Lei not know their little thoughts? He couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Let's have fun, why are you watching me?"
When the prince swears, the officers and soldiers feel relieved. The veteran eight years ago plucked up his courage and said, "Your Majesty will tell us a few words, otherwise you won't even eat good food." The main reason is that these guys dressed too well, and made the recruits treat him as a super idol, and they have reached the point of blind worship.
Qin Lei rolled his eyes and said, "I only heard that white rice can satisfy my hunger, but I didn't hear the truth, but I could eat it." Everyone laughed. It seemed that they would not be able to leave if they didn't say it. So he slapped the veteran's helmet next to him and said, "Then let's say a few words!"
"Ao..." The officers and soldiers came up all of a sudden and surrounded him, but stood consciously eight feet away from him. This is what the military rules say, and the polite distance from the Supreme Commander.
"In order not to affect your meal, I will say three words." Qin Lei raised his voice and said, "First, you fight very bravely, not like the new troops who have just started on the battlefield. I must praise you!" There was a burst of cheers, no one likes to listen to good things.
"Second, tomorrow's battle will be as cruel, so you must rest well, maintain your strength, and put continuous pressure on the enemy." "Yes." Although the response this time was neat and loud, it obviously lacked passion.
