Chapter 363 Shouying City is broken
The sad song of Chu floated over Shouying and resounded throughout the middle of the night.
The next day, after the morning meal, the Qin army opened the camp gate and marched to the city of Shouying, with an orderly square formation.
In front of the military formation, hundreds of catapults were arranged in unison. On both sides of the catapults, the Qin army's crossbowmen were waiting for crossbows.
At the center of the army, Meng Tian rode on a horse, his eyes crossed the Qin army formation and landed at the head of Shouying City.
At the top of Shouying City, the Chu army held the long halberd in their hands, felt the Qin army's formidable aura, and their body trembled slightly.
After listening to the Chu song last night, the Chu people were very depressed. Now that they saw the power of the Qin army, their morale became even more depressed.
"I will be told that I will order Dou and Xi to attack the city first!"
The messenger took Meng Tian's military order, turned over to the horse, and headed towards Dou and Xi.
The black dragon flag where the central army is located is carried in the hands of the flag guards, waving in the wind, shaking from left to right.
The doctor Sen, who was commanding the stone camp, was always paying attention to the movements of the central army. Seeing the signal of attack, he immediately danced the flag with his hand and shouted loudly towards Shouying's direction:
"put!"
The soldiers in the stone-treating camp immediately let go of the clams when they heard Sen's order. The tight noose suddenly contracted, and the stone bullet placed in the spoon tray was thrown into the air with a "huh".
The dense stone bullets instantly covered the sky at the head of Shouying City. The stone bullets the size of wine jars became bigger and bigger in the eyes of the soldiers of the Chu army.
"Release the crossbow!"
Following the catapult cart, under the command of the Junhou, the Qin crossbow soldiers raised their crossbows with both hands and poured endless rain of arrows towards the sky above.
"Baoba......"
After the rain of arrows, the Chu army, who were holding the Mi Tong's flag, walked neatly, through the gaps in the crossbowmen array and walked to the front.
"Run, run for me!"
After leaving the military formation, Dou asked the coachman to stop the chariot, turned around, and called on his military marquis.
"The morale of the puppet Chu army in the city is at a time of low morale. This achievement of first arriving must not be missed."
Xi pulled his confidant Junhou and gave him a sincere advice.
The Chu army, who was sieging the city, took steps and began to trot, and then ran faster and faster.
"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!"
Zuo Sima of Chu State on the top of the city wall hid in the small compartment on the city wall and finally realized.
The Chu people who were sieging the city had already defected to the Qin people, so they could not be soft-hearted at this time.
"The king is determined to live and die with Shouying. It's time for us to serve the king."
The situation of the Right Sima was better. He carried the Chu sword in his hand and was guarded by two personal soldiers, and Shang stood firm on the city wall.
The Qin army's military formation was only one hundred and fifty feet away from the Shouying city wall. The Chu army that was siegeing the city was covered by catapults and crossbowmen, and in just twenty breaths, they rushed to the foot of Shouying city.
Hulala-
The ladders attacked the city walls with the flow. The soldiers who attacked the city were accompanied by ants. Their bravery was no less than that of the Qin army.
After Dou and Xi led their troops to surrender to Meng Tian, they added the people of Chen County, Nanjun to join the army, and the Qin people personally trained them. The military officials of the Qin army honestly recorded their merits and punished the soldiers who violated the military orders.
Violating military orders will be punished strictly; strictly train, fight honestly, and the merits will be fulfilled very quickly.
The Chu army that is now siegeing the city is no longer as casual as the Chu people are used to. With the desire for military merit, these people have burst out with strong combat power.
The two Simas of Chu State on the top of the city were shocked in their eyes. They did not expect that the Chu army under the banner of Mi Tong would be so resistant to the battle and had already attacked the head of Shouying City.
The sound of golden swords is endless.
Stone bullets fly around, arrows fly around.
The battle on the top of the city was going fiercely, and soldiers from time to time fell off the top of the city.
When he reached the level of the commander of the first army, Meng Tian would feel sorry for the fate of the casualties, but he would continue to devote himself to the troops and achieve the established military goals.
Be kind and do not control the soldiers. War is a bloody game. The state of a soldier who defeats others without fighting is hard to find.
"Order the generals of each sect to siege the city at the same time, but don't work too hard, as long as you can put pressure on Shouying."
Dou and Xi used all their strength, and Meng Tian nodded with satisfaction. These two surrendered generals were quite easy to use.
The commander rushed to the three gates of the north and west of Shouying with Meng Tian's order.
"Siege!"
Zhang Tuo, who was in the south, was already anxious. When he saw Meng Tian's order, he immediately ordered his troops to launch a large-scale attack.
"The crossbowman comes forward, and the rest of the troops are ready to support at any time."
Meng Hu understood Meng Tian’s idea, and there was no need to waste the blood of the Qin people at this time.
Sending a crossbowman to harass the Chu people in the city and restrain the Chu army can be regarded as helping Dou and Xi.
"Haha, let the Chu people see the Qin army's cavalry and shooting skills!"
Outside the Xicheng Gate, Li Bi stroked the mount under his crotch, turned around, and smiled at Li Zuoche, "We were waiting here, originally waiting to capture the King of Chu. Now it seems that Fu Chu doesn't plan to escape, I have to show my face."
"Fu Chu is a sensible man. He knew that escaping Shouying would sooner or later be the result of his defeat, so he stayed at Shouying with peace of mind." Li Zuoche lifted the reins and drove his horse out of the line. "The king of Shandong, after being captured by the Qin army, still lived well. Fu Chu didn't have to worry about losing his life."
Li Zuoche, who was a Zhao man, gradually accepted the result of the demise of Zhao. In the Warring States Period, the seven countries will sooner or later decide the victory or defeat, but the Qin State won, not Zhao State.
Qin State only put down the monarch in Shandong under house arrest and did not start a massacre. Thinking of this, Li Zuoche felt a little better.
"Hehe, what the king wants is this world."
Li Bi narrowed his eyes and thought about the palace maids of the Chu Palace, and his mind was rippling for a moment.
After conquering Handan, Meng Tian selected palace maids and supplemented the Qin Palace. The remaining palace maids were rewarded to the meritorious soldiers under his command.
The King of Chu is so thin that he heard that the palace maids in the King of Chu’s palace had a unique charm.
Li Zuoche ignored Li Bi's lustful nature and took his knights to charge.
The cavalry under Meng Tian's command had horses nailed horses and equipped with simple stirrups. When controlled, the knights were even more handy.
Li Zuoche took the lead and looked at the distance from Shouying City. When it was five hundred steps away, he clamped his legs and his mount paused for a moment, and the arrow in his hand flew out suddenly.
The bow in Li Zuo's rider was well-made, and combined with the inertia of riding and shooting, and the sharp triangular arrows fell steadily at the head of Shouying City.
The Qin cavalry followed Li Zuo's car and made the same moves.
The legendary riding and shooting skills, Li Zuoche and his knights showed it on a large scale under the eyes of the Chu people.
The troops of various Qin troops joined forces, and the huge Shouying became a curled fat man with no power to fight back.
Half an hour later, the Qin army heard the earth-shaking cheers:
"Shouying City is broken..."
