General Qin

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the sound of passionate drums, the various ministries of the Qin Army sent soldiers forward in an orderly manner.

They held oar shields in the front row, or pushed simple-structured carts in front, covering the soldiers in the rear row, carrying earth and rocks, and pushing them to the ditch outside Jicheng.

The first step in the siege is to fill in the trenches!

Seeing the Qin people attacking, the Yan army on the city shouted and shot arrows, trying to kill the Qin army who was filling the soil.

However, the Qin army's oars and shields are tall, and the raw cowhide covering the chariot can also withstand arrows.

A round of shooting, in fact, not many people will be killed.

Don't look at the rumble of drums played by the two armies, the sound of scolding and cursing, and the arrows flying all over the sky, but in fact, after a day, the casualties are limited.

"Yan Jun really didn't dare to go out of the city."

Zhao Tuo was standing on a mound outside the east city at the moment, which was Li Xin's chosen command high ground.

The main general lived on a high place, and he could see the situation of the Qin army attacking Jicheng in the distance, which allowed the short soldiers guarding the main general to see the battle situation.

As a veteran on the battlefield known for his stability, Wang Jian made all kinds of preparations for the siege.

On the one hand, he ordered the craftsmen and prisoners in the camp to make various siege equipment such as ladders, building carts, and trebuchets. While ordering the various ministries to send troops to test the defense of the city, they also filled the trenches outside the city to prepare for the attack of the siege equipment.

Do two things at the same time without delaying each other.

Of course, he also ambushed a group of soldiers and horses in the camp. If the Yan army dared to go out of the city to fight and attack the troops filling the trenches, that group of soldiers and horses would rush out and seize the city gate.

But unfortunately, looking at the situation in front of him, Yan Wangxi was already frightened by Wang Jian, and he never thought of going out of the city to attack, he just pretended to be defending the city.

After such a few days, the trenches dug outside Jicheng have been completely filled, and the felled trees in the surrounding forests have also turned into various siege machines in the hands of craftsmen day by day.

Although the Qin army hadn't attacked on a large scale yet, after the catapults and building carts were made, they were placed at the west and south gates. The deterrent force was enough to frighten the Yan army in the city.

Yan Wangxi went up to the city wall and saw Qin Jun's boundless tents with his own eyes, and his head became dizzy with shock.

"It's no wonder that South Korea and Zhao are both dead. How can my little country of Yan be able to resist such an army of tigers and wolves."

Yan Wangxi thought secretly in his heart, and even had a hint of surrender.

But immediately, Yan Dan standing beside him seemed to see through Yan Wangxi's thoughts, and whispered: "Father, in this country of Yan, everyone can surrender, but only you and I cannot surrender."

"If you surrender, let's not say that the 800-year-old foundation handed down by the ancestor Zhao Gong will perish in our hands. It depends on what happens to the surrendered King Han and King Zhao?"

"Although they were not killed, Han Wang'an was imprisoned in Chen, and he was like a useless person. I heard that Zhao Wangqian was exiled to Fangling. Once he entered the wilderness, he didn't know his life or death. Could you accept this fate?"

Hearing this, Yan Wangxi shivered.

He has been in power for many years, and in the country of Yan, he promises everything he wants, and he can get whatever he wants. If he was imprisoned by the Qin people, he would be worse off than dead. As for exile in the wilderness, with his age and physical strength, he might die within a few days.

Thinking of this, Yan Wangxi shook his head and said: "Don't think too much, Gu will not surrender."

"Where Yan is, Gu is there."

At this moment, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded.

An object passed over Yan Wangxi's head at an extremely fast speed and with terrifying force, and the strong wind almost knocked off the crown on his head.

"what?"

Yan Wangxi turned pale with shock, and sprayed Yan Dan all over his face with saliva.

He was answered by a series of crashes.

"My lord, quickly hide!"

"It's a flying stone!"

The surrounding attendants shouted loudly, and the soldiers held up their shields and stood in front of King Yan and the prince to cover them from going down the city.

Stones were thrown by tall trebuchets outside the city, flying in the air, and smashed hard on the city wall.

Although the accuracy of these trebuchets was poor, they either landed on the ground just after flying not far away, or flew too far and smashed into the city over the city wall, but there were always a few erroneous things that hit the moving crowd on the city wall.

boom!

Yan Wangxi saw with his own eyes a servant's head exploded on the spot, and red and white things were scattered in all directions, even a lot fell on his face.

He screamed, couldn't hold it any longer, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

There was panic and screams on the city wall.

Although those flying stones were only more than ten kilograms, their power was not enough to smash through the solid city wall, but they were still far from being comparable to arrows, and they caused great psychological pressure on the Yan people on the city wall and in the city.

At the same time, under the cover of Feishi.

The Qin army outside the city also began to launch a formal attack.

Do you say no clothes? In the same robe as the son.

Wang Yu Xingshi, repairing my spear, and the same hatred with the son.

Amidst the passionate drumming, all the Qin troops stepped forward, shouting ancient battle songs.

The second step of the siege, take over the city!

The chariot slowly pushed forward, covering a large number of soldiers approaching the city wall.

The towering building cars also crossed the filled moats, and the Qin soldiers under the building cars were excited and eager to try. They only waited for the moment to meet the city, jumped into the top of the city, and made a great contribution.

There is also a ladder car that will never be lacking in a siege battle, and it is also approaching the city wall under the push of all the Qin soldiers.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops and siege equipment, the poorly aimed catapults have stopped firing.

The counterattack on the city wall also began at this moment.

"Let the arrow!"

As General Yan shouted, arrows flew all over the sky, like rain, falling into the battle formation of the Qin army, shooting down many people.

But more people have already approached the walls of Jicheng under cover.

The third step in the siege is to climb the city!

The claws of the ladder car hooked the city wall, and the building car was connected to the wall.

Countless Qin soldiers howled, climbed up the ladder to the city wall, and jumped into the top of the city along the building car.

The Yan soldiers guarding the city also howled madly. They shot arrows to kill the Qin soldiers below the city, and threw rolling logs and stones to attack the enemies who climbed the city.

When the ladder reached the top of the city, they quickly pushed down the ladder with tools such as bumping poles and forks.

And when the Qin army who was climbing the city had already built the city wall with his hands, the Yan soldiers guarding behind the battlements picked up weapons such as long swords and axes, and quickly cut off the hands of the climbers.

What's more, there was boiling water on the city wall, which was poured on the climbing Qin soldiers by the defending Yan army, causing a painful wail.

When a brave warrior of the Qin army avoided all risks and jumped onto the city wall, what awaited him was the long-flattened spear and the stabbing blade.

When the battle reached its peak, Qin Zu seemed to be endless, like a frenziedly surging wave, wave after wave, constantly impacting this city that had been built for nearly a thousand years.

The sky was getting darker, and after round after round of fighting, the two armies of Qin and Yan had already fought to the point where cattle and sheep entered (Xu time), and the moon had already appeared in the sky.

The golden gong rang, and the attacking Qin army retreated like a tide.

In the dark sky, they dragged their companions' corpses, leaving stumps and blood all over the ground, and slowly returned to the barracks...
