Destroyed Again

Author: big bell

Destroyed Again

The rebel army still has 5,000 people and about 400 artillery pieces, which still poses a huge threat, but we no longer have many artillery shells.

"How much longer?" Sun Li asked the soldiers next to him.

"A quarter of an hour, as long as you persist for a quarter of an hour, the general will surely arrive."

"Okay, a quarter of an hour, yes!"

Looking at the cannonballs in the hands of the two hundred soldiers, he felt fierce in his heart, pointed at the rebels, and shouted: "We, the warriors of Great Qin, are about to attack the city now, and the east city is in danger, but no matter what, with us here, we will never

We cannot let them succeed. The city is still there but the people are there, but the city is broken and people are dead."

"Hoo ho ho!"

As Sun Li spoke vigorously, the fighting spirit of the soldiers rippled throughout the city.

"Two hundred artillery shells are ready to be fired. We, the Qin Dynasty's five thousand warriors, are ready to go out of the city to fight. They will protect our city wall to the death and never let the bandits break through the east city."

At this moment, when this round of cannonballs are fired, there is no longer anything that can threaten the rebel army. If the general has not arrived yet, what he will face is that the rebel army will blast through the city wall.

He would never allow this to happen. If he wanted to protect the city wall, the only way was to go into battle and block the artillery with his flesh and blood.

"kill!"

The city gate was opened wide, and under the leadership of Sun Li, 2,000 crossbowmen, 1,000 archers, and 2,000 infantrymen, 800 of whom carried grenades in their hands, rushed out with great force.

The five thousand troops marched forward bravely with an attitude of looking forward to death.

The shield is in front, with grenades in hand, followed by crossbowmen. Five hundred crossbow carts are loaded with crossbow arrows, two thousand crossbowmen are driving, and the archers are behind, guarding every step forward.

Sun Li stood on the chariot, holding the flag high and shouting to advance.

Facing 400 artillery pieces, such a counterattack was like a moth flying into a flame, but they did not flinch, and there was no way out. If they could not buy time for the general, they would only face the destruction of the city and the death of people.

It was worth it to exchange five thousand troops for Xianyang's persistence.

A hundred feet away, Wu Guang and Zhao Ke, who had reacted in the chaos, saw the Qin army coming in force and were momentarily paused. The first thought in their minds was that the Qin army had a big killer.

But Zhao Ke, who has a keen eye, saw the fishiness in it and showed joy.

"Brother Wu, the Qin army will definitely be defeated. Now is the time to fight against a trapped beast. Our opportunity has come."

Wu Guang quickly looked into the distance and saw that the Qin army only had a few thousand people. There were shields in front, crossbowmen behind, archers behind, and nothing else. He was overjoyed.

"Sure enough, the Qin army's terrifying weapons have been exhausted, haha!"

This is not a random guess on his part.

If the Qin army still had black weapons, there was no need for them to risk going out of the city to fight. After all, if they fired those things on the city wall, their own casualty rate would be almost zero, and if they went to fight, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Everyone will choose the former, unless they are poor in skills.

"Come here, prepare yourself immediately, fire the artillery, and destroy them all."

Wu Guang and Zhao Ke gave orders in unison.

After the previous wave of bombings, the artillery troops fell into chaos. After the centurions issued the orders, each of the artillery troops took action.

Loading gunpowder, inserting projectiles, and adjusting the distance are all very skillful operations.

This scene was witnessed by the two centurions on the city wall. They were the commanders of the 200 troops who still had 200 anti-aircraft shells.

At this moment, both of their faces became serious, and their eyes were full of determination and worry.

"Brothers, our Great Qin warriors are in danger. We can't let them fall into danger. Aim for me and blast hard to buy time for the general."

"emission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two hundred artillery shells bombarded the rebel artillery.

"Why are there more?" Zhao Ke broke into a sweat when he saw the black dot coming again, and quickly pulled Wu Guang back to avoid it.

Boom boom boom!

Two hundred shells hit the center of the artillery, and the projectiles they were about to launch were also destroyed, causing thousands of people to fall to the ground in an instant.

Zhao Ke, who was lying on the ground, saw this scene, their expressions were full of ferocity. At this time, another hundred artillery pieces were lost, and a lot of gunpowder was destroyed. The power generated by the explosion directly destroyed hundreds of troops.

.

"Brother Wu, we can't delay any longer. We must give them a fatal blow, otherwise our troops will be reduced and we will be defeated in the end."

Wu Guang nodded. Under such circumstances, victory can only be achieved by defying all odds. The task given to them by Duke Xiang must also be won, otherwise they will also die.

"Fire and kill them!" Wu Guang, regardless of the elegance of his words, jumped up from the ground, waved the command flag, and ordered the artillerymen, who were once again in chaos, to take action.

After several chaos, the artillerymen were no longer as unbearable as before and immediately returned to the artillery.

At this moment, the 5,000 troops led by Sun Li were already 280 steps away from the rebel army. As long as they took another 30 steps forward, they would fire their crossbows and they would not be so passive.

But the rebels didn't seem to give them this chance. The artillery fire came, and 300 projectiles were fired at the same time, which was very violent.

"Shield blocks, be sure to block."

Sun Li's face changed with shock, he stared at the projectile with sharp eyes, and waved his flag.

The shields were closed to form a turtle-shaped defensive shield, and the two thousand infantrymen maintained their formation, kicking their legs back, praying to block the blow and buy more time.

Bang bang bang!

Three hundred projectiles hit the shield hard.

The projectiles are two large lead bullets weighing 30, and are supplemented by small lead bullets and small stones. They are extremely powerful and extremely lethal.

As soon as it came into contact, the shield completely collapsed, and the impact of the lead bullet continued unabated. It continued to rush towards the infantry and hit an individual, causing screams and countless people vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

"It's so scary!" Sun Li, who was heavily protected in the middle, looked at it with eyes wide open and clenched his hands tightly, with veins appearing all over.

In his eyes, streaks of fiery red blood burst into the entire eyeball.

"Stay steady, you must stay steady!"

He roared, wishing he could go into battle to block all this, but he didn't have the ability.

Suddenly, more than half of the infantrymen were killed or injured.

"Crossbowman, charge, charge me to 250 steps, and let me go hard."

Crossbows can only be effective within the range of 250 steps, which is not yet the case.

At this moment, he no longer cared about whether it would cause more casualties. He wanted to fight for the last moment to stop the rebel army from advancing.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the rebels are getting closer and closer to the city wall. If they are allowed to free their hands to bombard the city wall, with such power, the city wall will not be protected. By then, their 20,000 troops will attack Xianyang and they will definitely break through.

"General, it's up to you."

Sun Li narrowed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and shouted: "Everyone rush, be sure to block the rebel artillery and fight for the last chance for the general."

Bang bang bang!

Another round of projectiles came, hitting the crowd hard. People kept falling down, but some people still rushed forward. The crossbowmen gave up their lives, the archers were not afraid of the projectiles, and the remaining infantrymen were filled with sorrow and started to fight again.

Go into battle.

At this moment, they forgot the existence of life, the tiger and wolf artillery in front of them, and the burial place waiting for them.

Bang bang bang! Another round, more people fell, but they still kept charging.

The crossbowmen reached the shooting range and fired hundreds of arrows. However, too many people were lost and the power was reduced sharply. In addition, the rebels pulled out the iron plates upon seeing this, so the attack power was not good.

This is a dead end, an invincible situation.

Sun Lida was at the forefront, and the ruthless stone took away one of his arms, but he still held on with a strong hand, holding a flag in his hand, symbolizing that they had not fallen.

This was a tragic battlefield, a brutal massacre, but they still persisted.

They have rushed to within a hundred steps, but there are only a few hundred people left who can move, only a few cannons that can shoot, and only dozens of bows and arrows that can shoot.

In a short period of time, thousands of people lost their lives, and hundreds more faced the possibility of imminent death.

This is a hymn to life and the ruthlessness of war.

They were brave enough to make sacrifices, just to gain that little bit of time.

When Wu Guang saw all this, he was horrified. What was horrifying was not the weapons of the Qin army, but their fighting spirit to march forward bravely and regard death as a return, which frightened and chilled him.

Is this the Qin Army? He couldn't believe it, but as the opponent, he would never feel pity.

"Prepare the firecrackers and destroy them all." Wu Guangda roared.

"Yes, destroy them all." Zhao Ke agreed ruthlessly.

Suddenly, hundreds of gunmen came out, loaded their gunpowder, and aimed at the Qin army.

Seeing this scene, Sun Li, who was in the front, smiled sternly and suddenly let out a shocking roar.

"General, Sun Li can only do so much. I have not lost Xianyang. My five thousand troops have tried their best."

It is so heart-wrenching, so tragic and generous, it makes people cry.
To be continued...
