Chapter 134 Capture Xianyang (2)

The night is shabby, and the waning moon is like a hook.

A large iron cauldron has been set up at the head of Xianyang city.

In the large iron cauldron, the turbulent oil was burning vigorously, and the red flames illuminated the inside and outside of the city wall as bright as day. If the Chu army attacked, they would be discovered by the defenders before they could get close to the city wall.

Amid the chaotic footsteps, Xianyang Camp Commander Shang Qi and more than ten personal soldiers slowly walked up to the right east gate.

The Chu army was already at the city, and there were only two thousand soldiers in Xianyang City. Shang Qi was not afraid at all. In his opinion, Xianyang City had high ditches and deep ditches, rolling wood, rocks and other supplies were sufficient, especially the strong tinder, which was simply a weapon to guard the city. Shang Qi had reason to believe that the Chu army would fall into a big fight under Xianyang City.

Shang Qi even thought that if he could persist in returning to the Han King, he would be enough to be named Chehou with this military achievements!

Being a marquis is almost the ultimate dream of every man in the world. Shangqi is also a passionate man, how can he avoid the vulgarity?

"Everyone cheer me up, don't be so stupid!" Shang Qi walked, cheering for the whistle guards and patrolling patrol soldiers on the city. "Xiang Yu is dead. The Chu army is no longer the Chu army five years ago. Besides, even if Xiang Yu's army is at the city, so what if?"

"Xianyang is not the Xianyang son of the past!"

"The height of the city wall has been increased by half a meter, and the amount of hot turmeric oil is needed!"

"If the Chu barbarians are coming, let them come, so please forgive me for the death of them as much as they come!"

"When the war is over, as long as Xianyang is not lost, the king and the prime minister will definitely receive a lot of rewards. Then you guys will be able to return to your hometown to marry your little mother, haha!"

Shang Qi's speech was quite encouraging. The patrol soldiers guarding the city were immediately excited when they heard this. Especially when Shang Qi finally mentioned the little girl, they laughed out loudly. This is how men are. They always feel very excited when talking about women, but in fact, most of these soldiers have not even had their hands on them.

A soldier guarding behind the balustra was smiling happily. Unexpectedly, a wolf-toothed arrow suddenly shot up from outside the city, and shot through the soldier's head. The arrow clusters shot in from the back of the neck and then came out of the forehead. The sharp triangular blade suddenly reflected a cold and cold light under the storm of the waning moon.

Shang Qi was stunned for a moment, then drew his sword and roared: "The enemy attacks, blow the trumpet to warn!"

In an instant, there was a continuous sound of horns on the top of the city. Almost as the horns of the Han army sounded, thousands of torches suddenly burst out outside the right east gate of Xianyang. With the red light of the torches, the defenders on the city could clearly see that the black Chu army was rushing towards the wilderness ahead.

Seeing that the Chu army had so many troops, the Han army on the top of the city suddenly started to move.

Shang Qi waved his sword repeatedly and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, Chu Manzi can't attack you in one go!"

After saying that, Shang Qi turned around and ordered the captain of the personal soldiers and said, "I will send my orders to the Central Camp immediately rush to the right east gate. The other battalions will gather immediately and guard each gate without any mistakes!" In order to defend Xianyang, Shang Qi has organized two thousand soldiers into five battalions in front, back, left and right, with each battalion of four hundred people, each guarding one battalion in four cities, and the Central Camp will respond in the center.

"No!" The captain of the personal soldiers agreed and took the order.

Outside the right east gate, five thousand Chu troops in Tian Heng were flocking to him.

Seeing that the Han army reacted quickly on the city, a large number of soldiers rushed to the top of the city. Tian Heng knew that the guardian of Xianyang must be a long-distance general on the battlefield. It seemed that it would be impossible to defeat Xianyang in one fell swoop. However, this was also expected by Tian Heng. If Xianyang was so easy to break, it would not be Xianyang.

Tian Heng drew his sword and shouted: "Front front of the front camp, attack!"

Sima from the front responded to the promise, and then clicked the five hundred soldiers from the headquarters and carried more than a dozen long ladders and rushed up.

Tian Heng originally planned to lead 500 sharp men to seize the city first, but since the Han army was prepared, he would naturally not go up to die rashly. He would let the battalions and divisions consume the Han army first. When the Han army on the city was exhausted, the tinder oil was almost consumed, and it would not be too late to lead 500 sharp men to capture the city.

The archers of the two armies began to shoot at the first time, but there were not many Han archers at the pass, and the rain of arrows shot down was sparse, which was not enough to stop the Chu army from rushing in. Although the Chu army at the pass had more than 500 archers, they needed to shoot arrows on the city, and the width of the city wall was limited, so the lethality was really limited.

Five hundred Chu troops carried more than a dozen long ladders and quickly crossed the moat.

When the Chu army raised long ladders to capture the city, the wooden rocks rolled down from the city, and the Chu army who were walking up the ladder were smashed to cry and shouting to their mothers. They all turned down from the ladders. However, dozens of fierce soldiers climbed up to the city against the rainy wooden rocks rolled up the city, and launched a desperate kill with the Han army soldiers on the city.

Tian Heng was immediately energetic and snatched the head of Xianyang City at the first attack, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

But it is reasonable to think about it carefully. After the fierce battle between Hangu Pass, all the old, weak and poor soldiers in the army had basically died. Now the rest are all healthy people. And after three days of purgatory suffering at Hangu Pass, there is nothing in this world worth their fear.

However, Tian Heng's excitement did not last long.

Soon, a large number of Han army soldiers rushed to the top of the city. The dozens of Chu army soldiers who finally grabbed the city were soon submerged by the Han army soldiers. Especially the Han general who was the leader, he used a double-edged heavy sword in his hand, and he alone killed at least six or seven Chu army soldiers!

"Damn it!" Tian Heng said angrily, "Blow the trumpet and retreat in front of the camp!"

In an instant, the sound of a cool and low horn soared into the sky from the Chu army's rear formation.

Amid the endless sound of horns, the Chu army crowded under the city wall retreated like a tide of ebbing. However, the five hundred people who attacked were less than four hundred people left when they retreated.

The Zuodong Gate of Xianyang.

In a ditch connected to the drain, Ding Gu's one hundred sharp swords were quietly lurking in the turbid river water.

As early as half a quarter of an hour ago, Ding Gu had already pried open the iron fence of the drainage outlet and then sneaked into Chengfeng with a hundred people.

However, after entering the city, Ding Gu discovered that the Han army was very strict and the city gate was full of people. If a strong attack was launched, the Chengshuo was really not high, so he could only wait.

Tian Heng's army was attacking the right east gate of Xianyang, and it was also clear that Ding Gu could hear it.

At that moment, a soldier lowered his voice and said to Ding Gu: "General, Tian Heng's right army has begun to attack the city. Otherwise, we should take action too? Otherwise, the first contribution to breaking Xianyang would be taken away by Tian Heng, a Qi man."

"No hurry." Ding Gu waved his hand and said calmly, "It's still early."

The war has just begun, and it will take at least a few hours for Tian Heng to break through the right east gate of Xianyang!

Moreover, as Tian Heng attacked the Right East Gate more and more, the attention of the defenders in the city will be gradually attracted to the Right East Gate. Once the war is intensified, the defenders in the other directions will be transferred to the Right East Gate one after another. At that time, their rear troops will take the opportunity to attack, and the left East Gate will be broken!

While speaking, a patrol team slowly drove over from not far away and pressed their hands. The sharps behind them all dived into the turbid river water against the stone wall.

A team of more than a dozen Han soldiers were wearing torches and long halberds, and slowly walked over the heads of the Chu army, but they didn't know that there were a hundred Chu army soldiers lurking in the drainage ditch under their feet.

The right east gate of Xianyang.

Tian Heng's army's attack was getting stronger and stronger. The defenders were gradually unable to bear it, and even the fierce turbulent oil had been consumed.

When the Chu army was repelled for the first time, Shang Qi was almost exhausted.

The strength of the Chu army exceeded Shang Qi's expectations. Almost all of these Chu soldiers were fearless and were simply a group of wild beasts!

Just now, more than one hundred Chu soldiers climbed up to the city wall along the long ladder. Shang Qi had to lead his personal soldiers to launch a counterattack before finally driving the Chu army off the city wall. However, after a fierce battle, most of his personal soldiers had been killed or injured. More than half of them had been injured and more than half of them were killed or injured in the 800 soldiers who came to control the Right East Gate!

Most of the remaining 300 people were injured and exhausted.

Shang Qi sighed, and then realized that the problem was serious. He immediately ordered the captain of the personal soldiers and said, "Send an order, and then draw 400 people from each battalion to come and reinforce the Right East Gate!"

"No!" The captain of the personal soldiers bowed and took the order.

Outside the right east gate, Tian Heng was destroying the field, and Zidu's help was wearing armor.

Each battalion and division attacked fiercely for more than two hours, and the Han army on the top of the city was obviously exhausted. With the previous attack, Zidu's right battalion almost succeeded in capturing the city! Tian Heng had reason to believe that when he personally led 500 sharp soldiers to attack, the Han army at the gate would collapse and the city of Xianyang was broken... It was in an instant!

Amid the soft sound of metal rubbing, Tian Heng slowly pulled out the horizontal knife.

Five hundred Chu soldiers also drew their swords and unsheathed them. Their fierce eyes were already staring at the messy Xianyang city wall ahead. Suddenly, Tian Heng looked back and smiled brightly, then he raised his sword and rushed up. The next moment, the five hundred sharp soldiers roared like wild wolfs, raised their long swords and rushed towards the Xianyang city wall.

The Zuodong Gate of Xianyang.

Ding Gu climbed up the edge of the ditch silently.

Behind Ding Gu, a hundred sharp men climbed up the edge of the ditch.
