Chapter 268: Siege Battle

Woo woo... woo woo

The sky-shaking horn sounded in front of Jinghua City, and the main force of the Qin army began to advance slowly. Soldiers wearing leather armor and leather hats and gloves began to climb quickly toward the city wall along the ladder.

"Pour the poisonous oil! Let these bastards have a taste of the power of their own strategies!" Xiang Tianfeng immediately shouted loudly as he watched the Qin soldiers boarding one by one.

As he finished speaking, hundreds of Chu soldiers in the blind corners of the city wall, out of reach of the archers, carried wooden buckets and poured buckets of boiling poisonous oil down from above.

Stab la la...

As the scalding hot oil was splashed on the ladder, a harsh sound suddenly came out. When the oil splashed or was directly sprinkled on the Qin soldiers, the result was not as expected by the Chu army.

The hot poisonous oil fell casually to the ground along the slippery skin of the leather armor, without causing any harm to Qin's soldiers.

"What's going on? Aren't they afraid of being burned? Is it because the oil is not warm enough? Oh wow, it's burning me to death!!" Seeing each of the Qin soldiers continuing to climb up without feeling anything, a Chu army general suddenly revealed his face

He looked suspiciously, thinking that the oil was not warm enough, but when he put his hand into the oil bucket of a soldier who was about to pour the oil, he suddenly screamed with a burning head.

"It's the leather armor they are wearing! Those leather armors are airtight and smooth in appearance. It is impossible for the hot poisonous oil to cause harm to them!" Xiang Tianfeng suddenly said with squinted eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the leather armor worn by the Qin soldiers. The leather armor was almost airtight, completely covering the entire soldier inside, and the hat on his head also covered the entire head.

Apart from his exposed eyes, he looks like an assassin.

"The rolling stone is still attacking!" Seeing that the rolling oil had no effect, Xiang Tianfeng immediately ordered the next wave of attacks.

One and a half-meter-long stones were carried and thrown down from the city wall by two soldiers of the Chu army. The two-meter-long and thirty-forty-centimeter-diameter logs were also thrown down. The Qin soldiers who were climbing up were immediately thrown down.

Most of it was smashed down, but the brave and fearless Qin soldiers were not at all intimidated by such power and climbed up as usual.

Boom!!!

At this moment, there was a sudden loud roar, and it turned out that the trees were squatting down and moving forward quickly, and the soldiers of the Chu army did not notice the slightest change in the pieces of wood.

, the rush car rushed to the city gate without any hindrance, and the loud noise was the sound of the rush car hitting the city gate.

As a second-level city, the city gate of Jinghua City is made of Sanmu steel, with a total height of 15 meters, a width of eight meters, and an arc shape.

As the ramming car hit the city gate, there was an immediate squeaking sound, and on the other side of the city gate, the door latch with twelve huge wooden horizontal bars also made a harsh creaking sound.

"Aim at the city wall with headless arrows and shoot with all your strength!" When the rammers began to attack the city gate, Xuan Yue stood in the distance and shouted.

After Xuan Yue's words fell, the shields that were about fifty to one hundred meters away from the front of Jinghua City suddenly dispersed. As the archers opened their bows and set arrows, one after another without inlaying fine iron arrows, just

He shot the sharpened arrow upwards.

Whoosh…

This wave of arrow rain was several times greater than the arrow rain on the city wall. The number of arrows shot was nearly half a million. The arrows that filled the sky covered the entire capital of Jinghua City like dark clouds.

Speaking of humans, even mice will be shot to death!

However, headless arrows cannot cause damage to parts such as armor, let alone a powerful person. However, for those soldiers with less than a single level of cultivation, even if they are hit by dozens of arrows,

If you hit it, it will be knocked back again and again.

The Qin soldiers wearing leather armor were not injured at all under such a rain of arrows. When designing this leather armor, a layer of iron skin was added to the back. Although it can block strong bows and crossbows, it is not suitable for such arrows.

Headless arrows are completely effective.

Climbing the ladder is with your back to the arrow array, so there is no danger at all. However, the Chu soldiers who were preparing to throw rolling stones and wood on the city wall were suddenly injured. Although not many died, almost the entire city wall was damaged.

Clean it all.

The endless rain of arrows suppressed all the power on the city. The soldiers of the Chu army were as aggrieved as a bullied little daughter-in-law at this moment, but even so, they could not come up with any way to deal with it.

The overwhelming rain of arrows was so dense and powerful that a person with less than one soul could not withstand dozens or hundreds of arrows.

Under such a crazy rain of arrows, the Qin army finally climbed to the top of the city. As the Qin soldiers climbed up the city wall one by one, they immediately took out the swords hanging on their waists and rushed outside.

"Charge the heavy shield soldiers! Knock them all out!" Xiang Tianfeng shouted loudly as he looked at the Qin soldiers who climbed onto the city wall one by one.

Immediately, nearly two thousand Chu soldiers armed with heavy shields one meter high and forty centimeters wide rushed towards the Qin soldiers who had just climbed onto the city wall.

"Defend against the wall! Attack their soles!" Faced with such an offensive, the Dengcheng pioneer officer who had been instructed to do so long ago immediately shouted loudly.

Different from the 1.3 meter heavy shield with barbs arranged by Xuan Yue, the shields in the hands of these Chu soldiers had no barbs and were only 1 meter long. Therefore, even if they squatted down, they could not move their whole bodies like this. And such a thing

Xuan Yue had already calculated that among the trophies of many battles, the heavy shields used by the Chu army were all one meter high, and there was no one that was 1.3 meters high.

As the Qin soldiers fought against the wall one by one, the weapons in their hands attacked the feet and exposed areas of the heavy shield soldiers, and the two sides suddenly entered a bloody stage of hand-to-hand combat.

"Officers march on the city! Be sure to clear out all the heavy shield soldiers!" Seeing the stalemate in the battle, Xuan Yue's decisive order was already waiting for the officers below the city wall to start attacking.

As one after another neat figures jumped onto the city wall on the ladder, powerful mysterious energy suddenly surged above the city wall. As several officers exploded with mysterious energy, a large number of heavy shield soldiers were suddenly rushed into the city, and then

The formation of the heavy shield soldiers was broken, and those officers who had not exploded their profound energy suddenly slaughtered the heavy shield soldiers who were unable to move like tigers joining a pack of wolves.

As groups of Qin soldiers climbed onto the city wall, the soldiers of the Chu army were suddenly at a disadvantage. Seeing the war gradually being reversed, Xiang Tianfeng's eyes almost burst out with fire. He was also a young man, and defended with nearly a million troops.

The city actually lost its head in just one morning, and the situation showed signs of getting worse.

"Your Highness! Let's retreat. There is no one attacking the west gate. We can escape along the west gate. As long as we gather a large number of soldiers to garrison a tall city, we will definitely be able to stop their attack!" The old general looked at the Chu army that was already at a disadvantage.

The soldier immediately said to Xiang Tianfeng.

"Okay! Give me the order to withdraw troops from the west gate immediately!" The battle situation has been almost decided now, and there is no use in struggling anymore. As for whether there will be an ambush at the west gate, he doesn't care about this. The other party is obviously aiming for the siege.

Using the three-miss-one method, if you want to completely annihilate the Chu army, you can attack all four at once. There is no need to resort to such tactics.

As the order to withdraw was issued, a large number of Chu troops began to gather from the three city gates, and then began to retreat from the west gate.

Seeing the Chu army retreating, Xuan Yue certainly could not let it go easily. She immediately commanded the cavalry to start chasing and killing them. With the killing and blocking along the way, nearly 50,000 Chu soldiers were captured. In the afternoon of that day, Xuan Yue took her troops with her.

The generals stationed themselves in Jinghua City.

Looking at the broken walls in the city, Xuan Yue frowned deeply. Just as Xuan Yue expected, although the Chu army left, they did not forget to loot everything in Jinghua City. Those who dared to resist were all killed.

Massacre, even outside Datong Bank in Jinghua City, there was almost no place in the entire city that was not looted.

But smart businessmen and aristocratic families have already accumulated all their wealth in Datong Bank, and some wealthy people have even moved directly to Datong Bank.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Yue was also shocked by the power of Datong Bank. This was a war between countries. In such a war situation, the other party did not dare to touch Datong Bank. From this, it can be seen that behind Datong Bank

How powerful is it!

In Jinghua City, Xuan Yue ordered his soldiers to rest for a day, and then began to march towards another captured city the next day.

But when Xuan Yue came to the city, she found that the city gate was wide open, and the situation inside was similar to that of Jinghua City. All valuable things had been looted by the Chu army, and a large number of people who resisted were slaughtered.

Jing, Xuan Yue asked the statistician to do a rough calculation. In Jinghua City, the Chu army killed nearly 150,000 people when they left, and in this city, the Chu army killed nearly 100,000 people.

.

When she heard the statistician's words, Xuan Yue held her hands tightly, and the faces of the generals behind her were also very pale. War is a war for soldiers, not a war for civilians. This behavior of the Chu army has violated

The principles of a soldier.

"I want to annihilate them all! Kill them all!" Slowly raising her head, Xuan Yue looked into the distance, where was the direction of the Chu army's escape, where was the only first-level city in Beijun that had been captured, and the border

The direction of the city.

As they marched along, all the cities they passed were the same scenes as before. A large amount of wealth was plundered, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people were killed. Everywhere Xuan Yue went, her heart became gloomy, and her heart was filled with sadness.

Counting carefully the lives that already reached nearly a million, Xuan Yue could no longer suppress the anger in her heart at this moment.

And those recruits who followed Xuan Yue, under Xuan Yue's deliberate propaganda, also knew what the Chu Army, Qi Army, and Yan Army had done. Suddenly, everyone was furious. At this moment, their only thought was to kill those who dared to
