Chapter Fourteen: Zhu Xu's Anxiety

"Dong"! "Dong"! "Dong"!

Every sound seemed to be on the heart of the Jin soldiers guarding the city.

Although it was afternoon at this time, there was no sign of fatigue and laziness on the city wall.

The sun was scorching above my head, but everyone could only feel the chill from the Qin army's weapons opposite.

Although the Jin soldiers had experienced countless attacks by the Qin army before, this time, they finally felt the pressure of a total of 60,000 Qin soldiers.

On the wide Han River, rows of black warships were lined up in an orderly manner and ready to go.

Although there are no iron chains, they are still next to each other.

In the eyes of the Jin soldiers, what they are facing now is not Qin soldiers of the same kind as them, but an extremely huge monster in the river.

The air around seems to be still, which makes some people feel irritated. At least, it is better to have a little wind to blow away some of the cold sweat from your forehead.

The drum beats of the Qin army began to accelerate, and the back became faster and denser.

Finally, at some point, the drum beat stopped instantly. After a brief silence, sixty thousand Qin troops roared at the same time:

"kill!!"

This sound seemed to shake the earth!

On the city wall, the new recruits who had just joined the army for a few days had never seen such a scene. Few of them could stand firmly, and even a few of their pants were wet.

Even the veteran who had been through many battles could not help but tremble slightly in this shout.

Nearly a hundred warships advanced at the same time. The Han River was originally extremely wide, but the warship seemed to approach the south bank in the blink of an eye and entered the city wall within a hundred meters.

Zhu Xu sat in the middle of the city wall, observing the distance from the Qin army.

Then silently make a gesture to the flag bearer.

The flag bearer understood and stood on the high platform next to him, ordered the flag to fall horizontally, and then reversed for half a week, repeating this three times.

All the team leaders knew what the flag was directed, and immediately ordered the soldiers they led to defend with shields and hide behind the pile of arrows.

Although the Qin army had already entered the range of the Jin army's bow and arrow shooting range, and it had more advantages from top to bottom, the warships that the Qin army now rode on became the best barrier. The Qin soldiers hid in the cabin and could not shoot much bow and arrow.

Then after the two armies were apart one hundred meters apart, the Qin army's bows and arrows could also shoot onto the city wall from bottom to top. Moreover, the trajectory of the bows and arrows was parabola, and only a small part of the arrows could resist, and most of them still needed soldiers to hold shields to resist them.

Sure enough, archers appeared in the cabins of the Qin army, and there was a volley of fire on the city wall.

Although I have already prepared, the rain of arrows on the city wall is too dense.

Several screams came one after another, and several Jin soldiers fell down.

However, the warships on the opposite side were still not stopping. After advancing ten meters, another group of archers appeared in the cabin, and then they shot over the volley.

He took away several lives from the city wall.

Repeat this way.

The warships in front of the head finally approached the south shore.

Under the cover of archers, the siege infantry leaped out of the river and waded to the shore with their shields. They did not rush to the city walls, squatted on the shore, hiding their bodies behind the shield, as if waiting for something.

The front warship has sailed to both sides to make room for the ship behind.

Although the archers on the subsequent warships were still shooting, the entire row of archers in front was missing.

The Jin soldiers on the city wall finally had a chance to breathe. Zhu Xu saw the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to send a signal of attack.

Fengshui took turns, and it was time for the Qin soldiers who were on the shore to be shot.

However, these vanguards were obviously elites of the Qin army. They did not move at all under the same dense arrows as the Jin soldiers. Even though they had teammates beside them fell down, they did not respond and were waiting for the warships behind to dock.

The warships in the second row of the Qin army were much larger than those in the first row, and finally arrived at the shore.

The Qin army infantry vanguard finally took action. At this time, he was grouped in groups, one handed the shield to the other, and then turned around and approached the warship, as if he was going to pick up something.

The other person held two shields in front of the two.

The Jin soldiers on the city wall finally knew what they were waiting for, and they were bags filled with soil one after another.

The Qin soldiers on the ship threw the earth bags one by one to the infantry vanguard, and then piled them on the shore.

It's repeated again.

"Hmph! I want to build a fish beam road again!" Zhu Xu snorted coldly, not taking this seriously. He just ordered to stop the volley of bows and arrows, and let those with excellent archery skills take action alone.

When Qin Bing had almost unloaded the earth bags, one by one, the wheelbarrows with wooden shields on the top were pushed down.

This kind of cart is almost covered by wooden boards, leaving only a gap in the middle for Qin soldiers to push the earth bag forward. From the above, it seems like a wooden donkey is walking with the earth bag, so it is also called a wooden donkey.

Zhu Xu was still expressionless. This kind of siege was too common and there was no surprise at all.

But there was a little uneasiness in my heart, and they had not yet begun to target the most dangerous place.

After the Qin army on the shore prepared the things, they still did not rush to attack the city.

Cold arrows were placed on the city wall from time to time, and Qin soldiers on the shore fell to the ground one after another, but this seemed to have no effect on the Qin soldiers standing below.

It was not until the siege equipment such as cloud ladders and flying hooks were all available that the Qin army sent the command to attack the city behind.

The atmosphere between the offensive and defensive sides was ignited at this moment, as if a movie that had been brewing for a long time. From this moment on, the actors truly entered the role.

The screams sounded first, shocking the enemy, and more importantly, giving yourself courage.

The archers did not cherish their arrow feathers, and under the command of the trumpets, they shot at the enemy one after another.

The infantry did not save their energy, pushed the wheelbarrows, waved the stones, and collided from time to time.

However, the little uneasiness in Zhu Xu's heart was no trace of weakening, but instead became stronger and stronger.

The ladder has been raised, the earth bags are getting higher and higher under the city, and the fish beam path has been built in several places.

The truly tragic offensive and defensive battle has only really begun now.

The rolling wood with long thorns all over the body came in handy at this time. Every time it rolled down and was pulled back, it was always covered with blood from several Qin soldiers.

Many Qin soldiers wanted to climb up the city wall while rolling back the wood, but were hit by the stones swinging over them and died.

Even if I had luckily escaped these two levels, there were swords and arrows waiting for me in the city.

Judging from the scene, although the number of Jin soldiers is at a disadvantage, it is barely enough. It is unlikely that the Qin army would want to attack the city wall as if it were the previous few times.

Most Jin soldiers became much more relaxed.

I seemed to be thinking in my heart that although the Qin army has a large number of people this time and the momentum is scary, it will eventually return in a defeat like the previous few times!

However, in Zhu Xu's eyes, the more normal the Qin army's behavior is now, the more abnormal the entire siege will be.

At this time, his anxiety had reached its peak.
