Chapter 79: The Battle of Old Liang (2)

"Dangdangdang--"

"Dangdangdang--"

The moment the Qin army tried to cross the river, the alarm bell rang in the old Liang City, and countless young Liang soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall, holding the weapons in their hands, and watching the Qin army nervously outside the city.

To be honest, the Qin army led by the two generals Miao Lin and Ji Liang actually had only 40,000 people in total, and the oppression was far less powerful than when the 200,000 Qin army coerced Dongliang. But even so, the soldiers of the Shaoliang in the city all looked tense, their faces turned pale, and they held their weapons tightly, so that their finger joints were blue and white.

It is also difficult for these soldiers to do so. After all, they were still civilians more than 20 days ago. Some were farmers and some were craftsmen. After only Wang Zheng’s training for more than 20 days, they suddenly asked them to confront the powerful Qin army, which was a bit reluctant.

Not only ordinary soldiers, even the soldiers with positions such as 100 generals and 500 generals who were quickly promoted by Wang Zheng, they also showed unsatisfactory performance and were too nervous, so that Li He could only call Gao Yun, Hou Yun, two surprise soldiers, 100 generals, and their surprise soldiers also climbed the city wall to assist in command.

"Don't be afraid, my Shaoliang's warriors."

Accompanied by Li He and Wang Zheng, Liang Ji wore that small leather armor and walked from one side of the southern city wall to the other side, loudly boosting morale as she walked: "The Qin army is not scary. The 200,000 Qin army can't capture Dongliang until now. You are also the warriors of my Shaoliang. I firmly believe that you can defend the old Liang and protect our elders and sisters from persecution by the Qin army... I, Ji Ying, will retreat together with you!"

Seeing that the petite Liang Ji was not afraid of the Qin army outside the city, the soldiers on the city were surprised and ashamed, and encouraged themselves, causing the tense atmosphere in the city to fade away.

Seeing this scene, Li He nodded secretly.

Although Liang Ji gradually became a mascot in the Dongliang battlefield, in the old Liang, her words were more effective than Li He. After all, the 20,000 new soldiers in the city were initially inspired by Liang Ji and enthusiastically joined the army.

This is also the reason why Li He asked Liang Ji to come forward yesterday to boost morale rather than to come forward himself - the old Liang was not Dongliang, and the soldiers here still don't know who he was.

Almost most of the Qin army outside the city had crossed the Weishui River, and Li He and Wang Zheng also took Liang Ji back to the south gate tower.

At this time, Li He whispered to Liang Ji: "Today's first battle is very critical..."

As if he had guessed what Li He wanted to say, the smart Liang Ji nodded and said, "I understand, I will restrain my fear and not affect the soldiers in the city..."

After a pause, she suddenly said, "Actually, I'm not afraid..."

She bit her lips lightly and looked at Li He, a little shy. As soon as she finished speaking, Anu behind her suddenly burst into laughter.

"What did you miss out?" Wang Zheng suddenly felt a little redundant, and he interrupted with a strange expression.

"No, no."

When Liang Ji subconsciously left her head, Li He also coughed awkwardly, and then ordered Hu Ben, who was following him, and said, "Hu Ben, you will stay here later to ensure the safety of Shao Jun, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Brother Li." Hu Ben smiled and patted his chest and said confidently: "I promise that even if I die, I will not be hurt at all."

Hearing this, Liang Ji's face suddenly turned red again.

This kid must have said this on purpose!

Glazed at Hu Ben, Li He turned to face Wang Zheng with a strange expression, and said seriously: "For command, please ask Wang Siko."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng, who had previously guessed what happened between Liang Ji and Li He, immediately corrected his expression and nodded solemnly.

At the same time, the Qin army led by Miao Lin and Ji Liang had all crossed the Qingshui River and formed a formation on the flat ground between the Qingshui River and the old beam.

Looking at the city guards with old beams scattered all over the city walls in the distance, Ying Qian let out a breath and ordered his left and right, "Play the battle trumpet."

"yes!"

Immediately, the heroic battle horns sounded from the 40,000 Qin troops.

"Woo--"

"Woo--"

"Woo--"

Seeing this, Wang Zheng, as the commander-in-chief of the old Liang Dynasty, was not willing to be outdone, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Let's play the war trumpet too!"

"yes!"

After more than ten breaths, three battle calls sounded from the Old Liang City, which made the Qin general Miao Lin on the opposite side slightly stunned, and then frowned.

Just because of his tit-for-tat approach like Wang Zheng, he vaguely felt that today's battle might not go too smoothly.

But even so, he had to order an attack because it was the order of his Qin army commander Ying Qian.

"Siege!"

"Whoa whoa--!!"

Under Miao Lin's order, 40,000 Qin troops cheered outside the city.

This is the custom of the Qin army. Before siege, there must be loud shouts, which can not only inspire one's morale but also intimidate the enemy. Even in Li He's opinion, it is a very effective trick.

"attack--!"

As a thousand Qin generals raised their swords to point at the old Liangcheng, they shouted loudly, and the 40,000 Qin troops rushed towards the old Liangcheng as if they were leaking floods.

Facing the Qin army with a strong momentum, even though Liang Ji had previously boosted morale, the new soldiers on the city were all frightened and at a loss.

At this time, Li He had said goodbye to Liang Ji and Wang Zheng to the side of the city wall. Seeing that the soldiers on the city were all robbed of morale by the Qin army's momentum, he exclaimed loudly: "Today's battle is related to my life and death, my victory will be alive, and if you lose, you will be destroyed. We have no way out, so we can do our best to kill the retreating Qin army!"

While speaking, the Qin army, which was like a tide, had already surged to an arrow from the city. Seeing this, Li He raised his voice again and shouted: "For Shaoliang, for Shaojun, kill——!!"

Not far away, Gao Yun, a hundred generals who had always been easy-going, also responded to Li He at this moment: "For Shaoliang!"

"Whoa whoa--!"

The fighting spirit of the new soldiers on the city was also ignited under the encouragement of Li He.

Due to the lack of crossbow soldiers in the old beam, the Qin army put the long ladder at the foot of the city wall almost without any loss, and then climbed up with the help of the long ladder.

Seeing this, Hou Yun also raised his sword and shouted: "For Shaoliang!"

"For Shaoliang!"

The new soldiers on the city shouted, using their bodies to form a line of defense on the city wall.

But unfortunately, even though their morale has been ignited, in terms of viciousness and courage, these new soldiers are far inferior to the Qin army below.

Many new soldiers had not yet overcome the hurdle in their hearts. The kindness made them not use all their strength at all. Some new soldiers even panicked themselves after assassinating the Qin army.

How can we resist the fierce Qin army in this state?

Not long after, a hundred generals of Qin army led a few Qin soldiers to kill the city wall. Only a few people frightened the new soldiers guarding the city with their fierce and ferocious expressions.

Seeing this scene from afar, Li He immediately raised his sword to support him, and killed the Qin soldiers alone.

Even the hundred generals of the Qin army were pierced through the throat with his sword.

The morale of the young Liang new soldiers nearby was greatly enhanced. Only then did they realize that the general who was following Liang Ji was so brave.

However, before they could cheer, they were scolded by Li He.

"What are you doing? Show mercy to the Qin army? Can't bear to harm the other party? Do you think the Qin army will show mercy?"

He pointed to the bodies of several young Liang Xinzhang on the ground and shouted angrily: "If you don't kill them, they will kill you!... This is the battlefield. Put away the pureness in your hearts. Do you want to see the Qin army break through the city and humiliate your relatives? This is a life-and-death war. If you want to survive and reunite with your relatives, kill all the Qin army you see in front of me!"

His murderous shouting shocked the guards on the city.

Not only Li He, but in fact, Gao Yun, Hou Yun and other amazing soldiers were also making similar scoldings.

With the scolding of Li He and the strange soldiers, or the Qin army's merciless behavior of killing the guards, the new soldiers on the city finally abandoned the pureness and unbearance in their hearts and fought hard to kill the Qin army.

"For Shaoliang!"

"For Shaoliang!"

As Li He raised his arms and shouted, the new soldiers in the city responded one after another, yelling and blocking the gap again, so that the Qin army, which had previously attacked the city wall, was gradually suppressed by the new soldiers.

But this scene was seen by Miao Lin, the general of the Qin army outside the city. He was surprised that the soldiers under his command attacked the city wall so quickly, although they were finally suppressed by the other party.

It would have been impossible in Dongliang. In the first battle of Dongliang City, the Qin army fought hard for half a day without waiting to attack the city wall.

"A new pawn?"

He murmured, and he felt that he had seen hope for victory and immediately ordered: "The guards in the city are a group of new soldiers who have not been trained for a long time, and they are instructed to all departments to step up their attacks!"

Under the order of Miao Lin, the Qin army attacked the city wall more and more fiercely. However, the guards on the old Liang City had abandoned the purity and unbearance under the scolding of Li He and the strange soldiers. No matter how hard the Qin army attacked the city, it would be difficult for them to attack the city wall as easily as before.

Not to mention that whenever Li He and the strange soldiers killed a Qin soldier, they shouted "For Shaoliang!". Gradually, the new soldiers on the city began to imitate them, and every time they killed someone, they shouted "For Shaoliang!", which gradually increased the morale of the guards on the city.

Coupled with the continuous sacrifice of the guards on the city, these have led to the rapid transformation of the new soldiers.

Gradually, the expressions of these young Liang Xinshu also became fierce and ferocious. Many people seemed to have killed red-eyed, yelled, and were fearless of death.

It seemed like a crazy aura was gradually spreading on the city wall.

Noting this, Li He frowned slightly.

He knew that the crazy aura of the guards in the city was actually a stress response from people in fear. Although these new soldiers who seemed to be in a mad state suppressed the Qin army for a while, the price was that these new soldiers could not calmly defend the enemy.

In a nutshell, the old Liang will suffer heavy casualties in this battle today.
