Chapter 129 Destroying Zhang Chu (2)
With the launch of the Qin army's general attack, the city gates in the east and west and north sides of Chen County were immediately attacked like a storm.
Especially at the North Gate, the Qin army knew that the second emperor Hu Hai was watching them from behind, and they all fought for the first place and refused to fall behind.
Because of Chen She's leadership, Zhang Chujun fought to the death, which led to the North Gate becoming the most intense battle in Chen County.
Bows and arrows intertwined, and blood splattered. The city walls on the north side of Chen County were filled with blood splattered everywhere. Some Qin troops had just climbed up to the top of the city as soon as they climbed up the ladder, and half of their heads were cut off and rolled down.
The Qin army behind gritted their teeth and turned upward without retreating. Zhang Chu army at the top of the city either shot arrows or stabbed them with spears to block the Qin army's footsteps from rushing to the city.
Generals such as Su Jiao were even more in the lead, especially Su Jiao, who was almost bare-handed. In the cold weather, he was shirtless and particularly obvious in the military formation. Many Zhang Chu's archers knew that the less they wore, the more they were warriors of the Qin army, so the bows and arrows were greeted by Su Jiao.
Li Yuan was responsible for attacking the west gate of Chen County, and he met the troops led by Wu Bing.
Wu Bing did not intend to defend Chen County for Chen She. He was waiting for the opportunity to break Chen County. Once Chen County was broken, Chen She would inevitably escape from the south gate without Qin army.
At that time, Wu Bing will lead the army to integrate into Chen She's guards in the name of protecting the enemy. Just when Zhuang Jia, who was placed beside Chen She, succeeded in assassination, Wu Bing will immediately take over all Chen She's troops with iron-blooded means.
With the army, she has the capital to speak to other princes. No matter where she gains a foothold, she will not be discriminated against.
Li Yuan's army was well-trained and did not take a head-on battle. Instead, archers suppressed it, and the infantry formed a huge shield formation, climbed across the moat on the ladder, and advanced towards the west gate of Chen County.
Although some people were killed by arrows when the infantry shield formation was advancing, this did not affect the overall protection of the Li Yuanjun shield formation. Soon the first shield army came to the west gate of Chen County.
Among the shield army, several thin Qin troops immediately flew out. They climbed up along the suspension bridge outside the city gate, trying to cut off the ropes of the suspension bridge and lower the suspension bridge.
The Zhang Chu archers on the top of the city discovered their attempts and immediately all the bows and arrows shot towards these light-shaped Qin troops.
The Qin army archers also suppressed them without hesitation, giving these Qin army the opportunity to siege the city.
The bow and arrow shot towards the Qin army climbing towards the suspension bridge. Several of them were extremely agile and kept dialing the bow and arrow near them with the weapons in their hands.
There were also Qin troops who could not dodge and were shot through the thigh muscles by bows and arrows, but they were extremely brave and continued to climb upwards without caring about the blood flowing down their trousers.
"Put the stone to smash it." General Zhang Chu at the top of the city shouted loudly, and immediately Zhang Chu's army carried a large piece of stone and smashed it towards the shield soldiers gathered under the city.
Unfortunately, Li Yuan had long expected that they would use this trick.
The moment the shield soldiers fell, they immediately flashed to the side in an orderly manner, allowing the stone to fall to the ground and make a dull collision sound. They just don't mess up.
"Splash turbulent oil and set rockets."
With the roar at the top of the city, bags of turmeric oil were scattered and thrown down by Zhang Chujun, as if it was raining all over the sky. Before the turmeric oil could land, the rockets shot into the turmeric oil from the top of the city.
The tincture oil burned before it even fell to the ground and drifted around with the cold wind.
As a result, the Qin army's shields were hard to defend, and some of them were stained with tinder oil. When they were slapped to put out the fire, they were seized by Zhang Chu's archers and shot them on the spot.
"Don't care about the little flames. Let's put out the fires to each other, pay attention to the bows and arrows on the city." The Qin generals immediately organized the fires to each other to reduce the chance of being shot by archers.
At this time, more than a dozen agile Qin troops who were climbing up the suspension bridge were shot directly by bows and arrows, or seriously injured, falling to the city, and their bones were broken and their tendons were broken.
However, the remaining Qin troops arrived above the suspension bridge. They waved their swords and tried to cut off the rope that pulled the suspension bridge.
Zhang Chujun at the top of the city also immediately had agile person who climbed along the ropes of the suspension bridge at the top of the city and started a close-knit fight with the Qin army in mid-air.
From time to time, people fell from the suspension bridge with screams, some fell directly on the ice of the moat, and some fell on the ground by chance, but were penetrated by arrows.
Under the suppression of Qin army archers, Zhang Chu army's archers did not cause effective damage to the Qin army under the city.
Seeing that the attack method was effective, Li Yuan immediately dispatched a second shield formation.
As the second team of shield formation troops arrived at the city, dozens of agile Qin troops immediately climbed up. At the same time, a huge log was transported to the city of Chen County by shield troops.
A desperate battle started on the suspension bridge.
With the arrival of the second Qin army's siege team, Zhang Chu's soldiers were obviously defeated. The rope on one side of the suspension bridge was cut off, and the suspension bridge swayed slightly in the air with the wind.
The Qin army on the bridge desperately cut the remaining suspension bridge rope regardless of life and death. Soon, the rope was cut off by a random knife.
The suspension bridge made a sound of irritating girls, and it landed on the ground, connecting the banks of the river on both sides of the moat.
The Qin army on the suspension bridge all had agile figures. The moment before the bridge landed, they jumped to the ground. Except for a few unlucky people who were shot by Zhang Chu's bows and arrows, most of them were safe and continued to join the siege.
"Crash the door." The shield soldiers under the city let out a roar that shook the sky, and everyone worked together to lift the log and hit the west city gate of Chen County.
At the same time, as the suspension bridge fell, a large number of shield soldiers rushed over to help the Qin army under the city lift the log and hit the city gate.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
With the sound of knocking on the door, the Xicheng Gate of Chen County gradually loosened. Widths of dust fell from the place where the door and walls were combined.
"Try more hard, rush into Chen County and capture Chen She alive." I don't know who took the lead and shouted.
The west city of Chen County immediately burst into shouts of "Killing into Chen County and capturing Chen She alive."
Behind the west gate of Chen County is Wu Bing's cavalry team. Their duty is to resist the Qin army rushing in when the city gate is broken.
At this time, Wu Bing was anxious. He didn't want to fight for Chen She, but Chen She had not yet defeated the prime minister. As long as Chen She was undefeated, he had to guard the Xicheng Gate.
"boom……"
With the impact of the Qin army's logs, the Xicheng Gate was already shaking.
Li Yuan's cavalry team had already begun to prepare to rush across the suspension bridge and directly enter the west city gate.
Wu Bing gritted his teeth. If Ximen was really broken before Chen She retreated, he would have to accept his fate.
Just when she was anxious, a loud cheer came from the east gate of Chen County, followed by a rushing sound.
"Catch Chen She alive."
"Kill Chen She and become a marquis of Wanhu."
“…”
Various sounds came from the east gate.
Soon a soldier came to report to Wu Bing, saying that the guard general Lu Chen of the East City Gate led his army to rebel and surrender to Qin, and had already opened the city gate to introduce the Qin army. At this moment, King Chen of the North Gate had already changed into casual clothes and followed the coachman to escape to the south gate.
Wu Bing raised his eyebrows, and she was waiting for this moment, immediately instructed: "All Wu family troops should immediately move towards the south gate and prepare to protect the enemy."
As soon as Wu Bing finished speaking, a loud noise that shook the sky was heard.
Two gates in the west city of Chen County were knocked open by huge logs and fell to the ground with a bang.
