Chapter 304: Siege Battle [two in one](1/2)
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Three long horn sounds sounded among the Qin army.
At this time, the vanguard general of the Qin army, Meng Yi raised his arm and shouted with a solemn expression: "The front army obeys the order and advance!"
With a command, the Qin army had five thousand infantry formations in front of the formation, slowly heading towards Fangcheng. Some of them pushed the ladders hard, while some of them carried the long ladders, and the solemn atmosphere suddenly spread.
"Is it an offensive of five thousand people right up?"
On the south gate of Fangcheng, Meng Zhong stared at the actions of the Qin army outside the city with his eyes fixed on the ground: "Beat the drum!... Ask the troops on the city wall to prepare for the battle!"
A moment later, the sound of rumbling war drums sounded on the walls of Fangcheng.
During this period, because Wu Ying was transferred to Yingshan, Meng Sui, as the city chief, became the deputy commander of the South City Wall, assisting Meng Zhong to command all the Wei generals on the city wall.
I saw him put his left hand on the scabbard around his waist and slowly walked calmly on the city wall. While walking, he used his words to inspire the Wei Zhu on the city wall.
"...The Qin army is not invincible! We have proved this a few days ago!"
"...You have been subjected to rigorous training in the past few months and are fully capable of resisting the Qin army outside the city, and even defeating them!"
"...Behind our city is Ye Yi. Ye Yi is our home. With you and my parents, brothers, wives and children, we have nowhere to retreat..."
"...Don't hesitate, don't panic, hesitation will inevitably lead to defeat, panic will destiny, whether you were from Yeyi, Lixian, Rangxian, or from other places, but now, we only have one identity, namely the soldiers in Fangcheng! They are soldiers who protect Yeyi and our relatives!"
"...If the Qin army wants to break through this city, let them step over the bodies we are waiting for!"
After saying that, Meng Sui suddenly stopped, pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and pointed it at the city wall, shouting with a solemn expression: "Fang Chengjun!...... to fight!"
“Oh oh oh!”
The Wei soldiers on the city wall stood up and shouted, and countless sounds gathered into a stream of sound, which overshadowed the sound of war drums for a moment.
This also made the Wei soldiers on the city wall who were inevitably frightened and felt a little relieved.
“Very good encouragement.”
On the city wall more than twenty feet away, Cao Chun looked into the distance, listened to Meng Sui's encouragement to the soldiers in the distance, and praised with a smile.
Next to it, Meng Hu leaned on the city wall and smacked his lips, as if he was stumbled on Meng Sui's words to encourage the soldiers.
He sincerely felt that although Meng Sui was very good, it seemed to be a little worse than Le Yi. Compared with Meng Sui, Le Yi could always stir up the heart fire of the soldiers, and then lead the heart fire to the enemy, using this trick to make the soldiers more aggressive.
But considering that Meng Sui was his clan brother, Meng Hu naturally would not make bad comments, so he chuckled twice with a smile on his face.
"The crossbowman is ready!...Shot the arrow!"
With Meng Sui's order in the distance, the Wei army crossbowmen on the city wall began to shoot.
While they were shooting, Meng Yi, the Qin general outside the city, also raised his sword in his hand and pointed it at the city wall, and a command burst out from his mouth: "The front army charges!"
In an instant, the Qin army formation, which was originally neat outside the city, suddenly became scattered. First, the Qin soldiers carrying long ladders began to charge towards the city wall without hesitation, and what greeted them was the baptism of crossbow arrows densely covered with rainstorms.
"ah"
"ah"
"Um"
Amid the screams and muffled sounds, countless Qin soldiers were shot in the arrows, but most of them could still carry long ladders to charge, but there were also many unlucky guys who were hit directly by arrows, either shot in the face or the neck.
If the Qin soldiers who were shot in the neck still had time to miss the Qin people at home, then the Qin soldiers who were shot in the face would probably not even have time to fear death and immediately fell to the ground.
But almost instantly, the Qin soldiers next to them immediately took over their positions and carried the long ladder to continue charging towards Fangcheng.
From beginning to end, the soldiers of the Qin army ignored the sacrifice of chazi, as if they only had Fangcheng, which was close to them, and only victory!
I have to say that this is the Qin ** team created by the "military merit system", an army that is not afraid of death.
In fact, the Qin soldiers were not afraid of death, but they knew very well that there was something more terrible in this world than death, and this terrible thing was called the Qin State's Law.
"Go forward! Go forward!"
The former general Meng Yi stood on the chariot, waving the sword in his hand to inspire the soldiers under his command, and at the same time, he did not forget to use his fierce eyes to warn the hesitant Qin soldiers.
Those who are timid but do not have the former will be killed immediately!
This is one of the iron rules of the Qin army's military discipline.
Under this iron rule, the soldiers of the Qin army seemed to turn into beasts that chose people to eat, because they knew that only by advancing, they could only survive by killing the enemy who blocked the enemy and winning this victory. Otherwise, even if they were not killed by the enemy, they would be killed by generals or supervisors because of violating military discipline.
Even relatives in the family will be implicated.
Damn the way to sit in a row! Damn the way Shang Yang!
I believe that most Qin soldiers would secretly scold Shang Jun Wei Yang when they risked their lives to charge, because it was Shang Yang who proposed the method of continuous seating. Although this made the Qin army improve the combat capability again, it also caused the Qin army soldiers to completely lose the room for choosing their own destiny.
It has to be said that when Wei Yang fled from Qin, no Qin man was willing to take him in along the way, or even when he was dismembered by five horses, not many people in the entire Qin State felt sorry for this. This is not unreasonable.
But no matter what, Shang Yang, who formulated harsh criminal laws, built an invincible army for Qin. In the world, except for Wei Wuzhang, he could also suppress the Qin army with the momentum of waiting for death. To be honest, it was really difficult for the troops of other countries to deal with such an army that was not afraid of death.
And can the Wei army in Fangcheng stop it?
"Bang"
"Bang bang"
Long ladders were raised under the city, and Qin soldiers like ants climbed up without fear of death. The atmosphere on the battlefield seemed to have reached a white-hot stage.
"Stop them!" Meng Sui shouted in a deep voice.
Under the command of the generals, the Wei army in Fangcheng stood on the city wall and poked the Qin soldiers who were quickly climbing up with their long spears.
Unlike the small fight outside Fangcheng City several times, with Meng Zhong's plan, Qin general Jin Kuang was already under his command, and the Qin soldiers under his command had no idea how many Wei troops were lurking under the night sky around. Therefore, when the two sides fought, the Qin army could not help but have some concerns, but now they can see clearly, which allows the Qin army to exert its original combat power.
On the other hand, the Wei army in Fangcheng seemed to be gradually shocked by the Qin army's aura of fearless death. For a moment, it seemed that they had forgotten the rigorous training in the past few months, and they just poked randomly with the long spear in their hands.
"Arrow attack! Avoid!"
On the city wall, the shouts of Meng Sui and other commanding generals sounded again.
However, many Wei soldiers seemed to have not heard it at all, and still leaned over the city wall with fear, poking the Qin soldiers climbing up from below with their long spears in their hands. After a while, there was only a sound of puffs. These Wei soldiers were shot several arrows and fell to the city powerlessly in endless regret.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, Meng Sui gritted his teeth with hatred.
He turned to look down at the city, and saw that the crossbowmen troops in the Qin army outside the city had already slowly advanced towards Fangcheng.
There were two military formations, one on the east side and one on the west side. It was estimated that there were about four or five thousand people. The rain of arrows just now was the work of these Qin army crossbowmen.
Don’t underestimate the crossbow tools of Qin. If South Korea has the best in the world, then Qin is most likely the second in the world. Thinking about it, Qin has fought with South Korea for so many years, how could he not secretly learn the process of South Korea in building a powerful crossbow? On the other hand, if South Korea had not been unwilling to relax its improvements to the crossbow, this country would have been annexed by Qin.
"Why not hide?"
Meng Sui stared at the Wei soldiers who had not died after a chance and said angrily: "I taught you how to avoid arrows during training..."
The soldiers of Wei looked at each other.
Seeing Wei Zu on the surrounding city walls all over his face, Meng Sui finally held back his anger.
He knew that they were too optimistic. Although they used rice from the farmland outside the city to plot against the Qin army a few days ago, not only made other cities easily win a small victory, but also made many new soldiers cross the gates to kill the enemy. However, killing a Qin soldiers in that way does not mean that these Wei soldiers have transformed into reliable and trustworthy soldiers.
A trick is not advisable. In the end, it is only through real fighting with real swords and guns that can harden an army that can truly entrust heavy responsibilities.
If it were Ayi, what would he do now?
Seeing that the Wei soldiers on the city wall were obviously unable to exert their due combat effectiveness, Meng Sui's mind quickly turned, thinking about what Le Yi would do when facing this matter.
After a moment, he had an idea.
He angrily shouted: "This is just the first attack of the Qin army, the first tentative attack. You wastes have worked hard for several months, but can't even stop the Qin army's attack?"
"..." The nearby Wei soldiers looked at Meng Sui in shock.
You should know that in their impression, Meng Sui has always been gentle, let alone openly humiliating them with waste.
"I told you that behind our city is Ye Yi, the place where our parents, wife and children live. Do you want me to explain it better?" Looking around, Meng Sui pointed at the Qin army outside the city and said sternly: "If we can't resist the Qin people, those Qin people will kill Ye Yi. Jieshi, our old parents will be killed by them, and their wives and daughters will be insulted by them. I guess you don't mind that the elderly old parents will be killed by those Qin people in the play? You don't mind that your wife and daughters will be suppressed by those Qin troops. If you want to survive, you can't die? Maybe they will enjoy it?"
"shut up!"
A tall Wei soldier rushed over and grabbed Meng Sui's clothes and raised his fist angrily. But fearing Meng Sui's identity, he raised his fist but did not dare to swing it out.
Seeing this, Meng Sui knocked off the other party's hand that grabbed his clothes with a snap, and shouted in a deep voice: "If you don't want your parents to be killed by the Qin army, and your wife and daughter in your family to be humiliated by the Qin people, then I will try my best to block them! Our city trains you, a group of wastes for several months, not to let you die easily at the hands of the Qin army!... Even if you want to die, I will give me a few Qin soldiers to take care of them!"
After saying that, he looked around and shouted, "You group of wastes will listen to me. If you die, you will have to take some Qin soldiers to back you. In this way, even if you die, I Mengsui will recognize him as a man. The young and old in his family are raised by our city! What are you, wastes, afraid of?!"
"Think about the parents at home..."
"Think about your wife and children..."
"If you don't want your family to be humiliated by the Qin people, stop them!"
Under the stimulation of Meng Sui, the Wei soldiers in Fangcheng cheered up again. As Meng Sui said, they would not want their parents and mothers to be killed by the Qin people, nor would they want their wives and daughters to be insulted by the hateful Qin people.
"Kill all these Qin people!"
As a Wei soldiers roared uncontrollably, the fighting spirit of the Wei soldiers on the city wall was rekindled.
At this moment, they were no longer afraid or confused. They had only one thought in their hearts, namely, defend Fangcheng, Ye Yi, and their families.
Seeing this, Meng Sui breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he could not help but feel a sense of anxiety on his face.
Damn, what did we say just now... Fortunately, Master didn't know about this...
To be continued...
