My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Xin Sheng, Yang Qiu, and Zhang Xiao, with a total of 30,000 soldiers, marched to Jicheng as soon as they received the order.

All along the way, there was no obstruction!

On January 11, the 17th year of Qin Wangzheng, 30,000 Qin troops had already arrived at the city of Jicheng.

On January 12, when the morning sun was about to rise but had not yet risen, Xin Sheng raised his wine bowl to the 200 warriors in front of him and shouted loudly: "Drink to victory!"

The 200 warriors poured the simply distilled wine into their stomachs.

The hot wine penetrated into the throat like an angry dragon, swept across the chest, and finally rushed into the stomach, rushing around!

"Hiss~Ha~"

"It is indeed the fairy dew bestowed by Lord Lechen. I will no longer feel cold after just one sip!"

"Hey! I am excited! I have been blessed by the immortals!"

"This time, we will either be exempted from punishment and promoted in the human world, or be reunited with our families and promoted to high positions in the underworld!"

A bowl of wine with a concentration of about 20 degrees is not intoxicating, but it warms up all the brave warriors who are the first to climb the mountain in the fierce cold wind, and brings them unparalleled confidence.

They already have the support of Chang'an Jun, who is highly appreciated by Houtu, and they drank the fairy dew bestowed by the immortals. With the double blessing, there is a way to the underworld, so they are not afraid of anything!

Seeing the morale was high, Xin Sheng pointed at the east gate of Jicheng and shouted excitedly: "Warriors who climb first!"

"Charge!"

"Hua La La La~"

The two hundred warriors who climb first smashed the pottery bowls in their hands and shouted in unison: "Charge!!!"

Carrying the ladders and holding their weapons firmly, the two hundred warriors who climb first rushed towards the east gate of Jicheng!

At the same time, on the east gate of Jicheng

Listening to the roar of the Qin army from afar, Dai Wangjia smiled softly: "It's just as our army expected."

"Qin Chang'an Jun is indeed trying to attack my Jicheng first."

"Of course, even if it is Qin Chang'an Jun, it is a foolish dream to try to break my Jicheng with only 30,000 Qin troops!"

"Shangqing Sima Gan, lead 3,000 soldiers to guard the west wall."

"Shangqing Zhao Miao, lead 3,000 soldiers to guard the south wall."

"Shangqing Ma Fudui, lead 5,000 soldiers to climb the east wall."

"Order the civilians in the city to carry the weapons and equipment for defending the city and prepare to participate in the defense of the city."

"Shangqing Zhuo, order the soldiers in the city not to leave the house without permission, and must hide well..."

When Dai Wangjia gave the order, the sun completely jumped out of the horizon.

Under the shining light of the morning sun, dazzling rays of light shot into Dai Wangjia's eyes.

Dai Wangjia instinctively narrowed his eyes, but the next moment, Dai Wangjia forced his biological instinct, regardless of the pain in his eyeballs, and opened his eyes wide!

I saw that in the east of Jicheng, two hundred Qin soldiers were carrying siege ladders in pairs and running towards the city gate. This was a normal process for the Qin army to attack the city.

But!

The body of each Qin soldier was reflecting a pale luster, flickering as they ran. The helmet on the head of each Qin soldier was shining like a candle under the sunlight. They even carried a shield on their left hand or back that also reflected the metallic luster!

Although the level of iron smelting in Dai State was not high, Dai Wangjia could make a judgment without hesitation.

These two hundred Qin soldiers all wore iron helmets, iron armor, and iron shields!

Which country would let the cannon fodder warriors used in the first few rounds to test the enemy and consume ordnance wear such equipment!

Dai Wangjia immediately changed his words: "All soldiers, go up to the city immediately! All crossbowmen immediately load crossbow arrows!"

"To prevent the enemy from stealing our Jicheng and repeating the old story of the Qin army almost taking Handan in one day!"

"Quick!!!"

Ma Fudui and other generals followed Dai Wangjia's gaze, and then they all changed their faces and hurriedly bowed: "Yes!"

Zhao Miao and Sima Gan immediately rode back to their own defense line, and Ma Fudui immediately ordered: "Crossbowmen line up in three rows!"

"One row! The target is right in front, three levels high!"

Estimating the distance between the enemy and our army, Ma Fudui shouted solemnly: "Fire!"

"Bang bang bang~~~"

Thousands of crossbow arrows flew into the blue sky and sprinkled on the oncoming Qin army.

Without waiting to observe the results of this round of crossbow arrows, Ma Fudui shouted without hesitation: "Second row! Three levels high!"

"Fire!"

The crossbow strings jumped and the crossbow arrows filled the sky.

A shout erupted from the Qin army: "Raise your shields! Speed ​​up!"

Two hundred wooden and iron shields were erected in front of the Qin army's first warriors.

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and crossbow arrows collided with shields, making loud noises.

Many crossbow arrows pierced through the shields in the hands of the Qin army's first warriors while falling, but the remaining force was unable to further penetrate the iron armor and helmets on the first warriors' bodies, and they could only fall in vain.

Only the crossbow arrows that hit the limbs could take away a handful of flesh and blood.

"Ah! My left arm is gone, the ladder is loose, let's charge! Even if we die, we must die in front, so that we can get a high position in the underworld!"

"Draw low! Draw low! Remember to cover your legs, don't let the enemy shoot you in the legs!"

"Please protect me, soldiers, charge!"

A round of crossbow arrows fell, but only more than a dozen brave warriors who climbed first were unwilling to lie down.

Even though several brave warriors who climbed first were already carrying crossbow arrows, and even had a big hole through them, their pain was paralyzed by alcohol and adrenaline, and they continued to run wildly.

For a while, all the Qin army's brave warriors who climbed first had more confidence in survival and the confidence of being blessed by the gods. They actually crossed the frozen moat with big strides and rushed to the city under the crossbow arrows!

Seeing the iron claws of the ladders hooked on the battlements, Dai Wangjia was stunned: "Just one round of attack, they have rushed to the city and set up the ladders?!"

This is not in line with the art of war!

Ma Fudui shouted: "Civilians, come forward and drop rolling stones!"

The heavy stones fell along the ladders under the push of the civilians.

Facing the blunt attack, the iron armor and iron shields could no longer provide good protection for the warriors who climbed the first step, and the warriors who climbed the first step finally suffered large-scale casualties.

But they were just warriors who climbed the first step.

In the front of the Qin army, Xin Sheng raised the wine cup again: "Warriors who climbed the first step!"

"Charge!"

Another round of 200 warriors who climbed the first step set out on the road of charge under the rain of crossbow arrows.

On the other side, Feng Wuze had led his troops to the southeast of the East Gate.

Seeing the momentum of Xin Sheng's troops, Feng Wuzhe shouted without hesitation: "Two hundred to five hundred, Lord Zhao Jiong, listen to my orders!"

"Attack the city!"

The drums of war sounded, Zhao Jiong raised his spear and roared: "All the generals, listen to my orders!"

"Follow me to charge!"

Amidst the shouts, a thousand Qin troops suddenly ran wildly and charged towards the east wall of Jicheng.

Dai Wangjia looked in the direction of the voice, and then his pupils condensed: "The Qin army still has elite soldiers?!"

Compared to the brave warriors who first climbed the city, the equipment of Zhao Jiong's soldiers was even better.

Not only did everyone in this Qin army wear helmets and iron armor, but even their arms reflected the metallic luster, and they were obviously wearing iron protective gear!

Dai Wangjia's eyes were full of shock and he whispered: "Could it be that Qin Chang'an Jun is outside the city, and this army is Qin Chang'an Jun's personal soldiers?"

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to Dai Wangjia.

Even though the Qin army has been engaged in wars and plunders in recent years, and has robbed a lot of military equipment and armor from other countries, the Qin army's own military equipment and armor have also been consumed in large quantities in war after war.

How could the Qin army allow millions of soldiers to wear such armor? !

The only reasonable explanation is that this is Ying Chengjiao's personal soldiers!

Zhuo Ta was stunned and said, "But according to the military report sent back by the commander, Qin Chang'an Jun is leading his army to Lishi City, intending to confront the main force of the coalition army head-on."

"And our scouts have not found any trace of Qin Chang'an Jun!"

Dai Wangjia shouted angrily: "The King of Donghu is no longer trustworthy!"

"I suspect that the reason why the King of Donghu praised Qin Duwei Su Jiao as a warrior is that he wants to lead the main force away from the main battlefield under the pretext of meeting the warriors in person, exposing our Jicheng to Qin Chang'an Jun!"

"Zhuo Shangqing!"

"Immediately order all the generals in the city to leave their houses and gather at the city gates!"

"Leave 30,000 soldiers in the city as a fresh force, and the rest of the troops will all go up to the city to reinforce the city defense!"

Dai Wangjia dared not hide anymore.

He was afraid that if he hid any longer, Jicheng would be gone!

Li Mu was not around, Mao Sui was not around, but Ying Chengjiao suddenly appeared from his side.

The only thing that Dai Wangjia could do was to go all out!

Ma Fudui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Three rows!"

"Target right front, mark three high, shoot!"

Xin Sheng raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and ordered in a deep voice: "Two hundred to five hundred Lord Jingshang, listen to my order!"

"Attack the city!"

The two Qin armies charged towards the east wall from the east and southeast.

Ma Fudui ordered his crossbowmen to fire with all their strength, but it was ineffective.

When Jingshang's troops approached the city gate, Ma Fudui suddenly shouted: "Open the city gate!"

"Go out of the city to kill the enemy!"

Xin Sheng and Feng Wuzhe smiled at the same time when they saw this, and ordered at the same time: "Fight and retreat!"

With an order, Zhao Jiong and Jingshang's troops immediately approached each other and slowly retreated against the attack of the Dai army.

Zhuo Ta was puzzled when he saw this: "If Qin Chang'an Jun has arrived, will the Qin army really be like this?"

"I think that perhaps Qin Chang'an Jun has not arrived yet, and this Qin army is indeed just a small army as the scouts have discovered."

Dai Wangjia said with certainty: "Qin Chang'an Jun is definitely around Jicheng, otherwise how could this Qin army have such armor?"

"Qin Chang'an Jun is using the strategy of showing the enemy weakness and luring the enemy deep into the territory!"

After saying this, even Dai Wangjia himself felt that it was a bit outrageous.

Using the strategy of showing the enemy weakness and luring the enemy deep into the territory?

Is Qin Chang'an Jun worthy of it!

The person who is least qualified to use this tactic in the world is Qin Chang'an Jun!

Ma Fudui thought for a while and said, "I don't know whether Qin Chang'an Jun is using the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the country."

"But I think that my army is not the main force of the coalition. Our goal is to firmly defend Jicheng. As long as Jicheng is not lost, it will be fine."

"Whether the Qin army is using the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the country or not, our army does not need to pursue them!"

Pursue the Qin army? Destroy the Qin army?

Isn't this what the Hu bandits should do?

My great Dai has allied with the Hu bandits under the infamy, but in the end, it rushed forward without the order of the commander-in-chief, using the lives of the Dai soldiers to weaken the common enemy of the coalition?

Isn't this a fool's behavior!

When Dai Wangjia heard this, he nodded in agreement: "What Ma Fu Shangqing said is very true!"

"Send a message to the commander-in-chief, saying that Jicheng was attacked by Qin Chang'an Jun and the main force of the Qin army, and the commander-in-chief needs to rush to help."

"Send an order to the generals and important officials of each department to strictly guard the city gates and prohibit pursuit!"
