Chapter 531 These Qin dogs...are in heaven...???
The gunshots rang out and the singing stopped.
After listening to Qin Feng for three hours, the Wei soldiers suddenly couldn't hear him anymore and felt very uncomfortable.
All they could see was the flints from the sky still falling like a meteor shower. The only sound they could hear was the roar of the falling stones, with the whistling sound of the wind filling the gaps.
Ladders were constantly being erected on the city walls, more than three times faster than before. The Wei soldiers, accustomed to the intensity of the Qin army's siege, could not react in time and could not push down all the ladders.
Just because of this delay, the ladders that were not pushed down immediately began to vibrate, just like a beast eager to shake off its fur after swimming - the Qin army was climbing the ladders quickly.
The ladders carried the weight of the Qin army. One Wei soldier could have easily pushed the ladder down, but it took two people working together with all their might.
The Wei soldiers had thought about destroying the ladders.
There is no need to cut the ladder in half. The three-meter-high ladder only needs to be cut off at the part on the top of the city wall. It will be fine if the ladder is not high enough to support Linji City. This is how wars were destroyed in previous wars.
Their bronze weapons hit the ladder and got stuck after less than an inch of penetration, making a metallic collision sound - the Mohists had added an iron core to the farthest end of the ladder.
The battle became increasingly intense, and Zhou Shi's orders became more and more urgent, his voice becoming hoarse. Only two of his personal soldiers stayed by his side to protect him, and the rest all participated in the battle to defend the city.
The smile on the face of the Wei general was gone, replaced by a ferocious look.
It was not until then that he realized that Qin Jun had not used his full strength that night.
The silent Qin army is much more difficult to deal with than the singing Qin army.
Zhou Shi gasped for air, the fishy wind and stench rushed into his mouth and nose, making his brain go blank. He felt very uncomfortable, as if he had returned to the day when Daliang City was captured ten years ago.
The flood submerged him completely, and when he opened his mouth, he breathed in not the life-saving air but the cold river water. He blew bubbles, as if he was spitting out his own life.
There is only outgoing air, no incoming air.
You can only exhale, not inhale.
After several years, the world has long forgotten the bravery of the Qin army and that fierce army that swept across the world!
The Chu people in shorts stuck close to Zhou Shi. The sudden change made him wonder if these Qin troops were blessed by Donghuang Taiyi. Their fighting power was beyond his imagination.
The Chu people had no doubt that if they had not occupied the advantage of the three-meter-high wall and fought head-on, the Wei army, which he considered to be an absolute elite and led by General Zhou Shi himself, would have been defeated in half an hour under the attack of the Qin army, which had become unrecognizable as human or ghost.
The people of Chu were puzzled as to how a single person could have knocked down a ladder.
The Wei army had the will to defend their country to the death even if their family was destroyed. The Qin army did not suffer the destruction of their country, but their will was no less strong. How did they do it?
Golden juice poured down and inferior arrows shot downwards, in such large numbers that the walls of Linji looked like a cliff waterfall.
Such a powerful and fierce attack still could not stop the Qin army from climbing up with their shields raised.
Soon, some Qin soldiers began to climb up the city wall using the only remaining ladders. Before they could see the scenery clearly, a Wei soldier swung a two-foot bronze sword and cut a deep wound on their chests, causing them to fall down.
The first one to climb the city wall will not count if you cannot stand.
Being the first to climb the city wall can be considered one of the four great military merits because the first person to climb the city wall must stabilize the top of the city wall and create conditions for subsequent siege operations. This is the decisive factor in the victory of the siege.
The four great military achievements all had a decisive influence on the war situation.
The Wei soldiers who personally killed the Qin dog were not happy, but their palms were sweating.
Once the first person climbs up the city wall, there will be a second one.
Once the hole is opened, it will be difficult to close it again.
Soon, more and more Qin troops climbed up and emerged , and the Wei soldiers were forced to engage in close combat with them. The siege was about to be dragged into a situation favorable to the Qin army and was coming to an end. There were signs that Linji would be lost!
At the city gate, Wei soldiers who were changing guards rushed up one after another. The Wei army, whose strength suddenly increased, fought back in one go and instantly chopped down and drove away all the Qin troops and pushed down all the ladders.
On the Linji wall, the Qin army fell down like dumplings. Some climbed to a height of ten feet, and some climbed to a height of two feet.
The straw that had previously shielded them from stones, inferior arrows, and golden juice once again saved their lives. With the straw as a cushion, many Qin soldiers who should have died survived. Regardless of the pain from their wounds, they quickly got up, silently set up the ladders, and climbed the ladders.
Their offensive did not slow down in the slightest, nor did its intensity decrease in the slightest.
But in the face of the Wei army's continued reinforcements, they had already lost hope of winning.
The pressure on Zhou Shi suddenly eased. Under the protection of all his personal guards, he spat blood and spit at the city and shouted at the black ants:
"Come up! Qin Gou! Grandfather is waiting for you!"
The people of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the situation, Linji was saved.
They were suddenly dragged into a fierce battle and did not notice that there were some flints in the sky that were flying much slower than ordinary flints.
And these flints are now getting closer and closer to Linji City.
Bang!
Another gunshot was heard.
The Linji defenders, covered by the sound of flint falling to the ground, heard nothing, but the Qin army formation was deafening and heard it clearly.
All the cars throwing flints stopped, and the continuous roar suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Shi suddenly felt panicky. The flaming black bird, with flames all heading towards Linji, rushed into his pupils and burned his heart.
The roar disappeared so suddenly, just like the singing disappeared suddenly.
"Who is leading the army? Who is this general fighting against?"
He growled, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. Now he only knew himself and not the enemy.
Without knowing the enemy commander, he would not be able to study his tactics and habits through past battle examples.
Zhou Shi studied almost all the generals of the Qin army, including Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Li Xin, etc. He wrote down their combat habits and memorized them by heart. He thought that he would know who would lead the enemy army as soon as the battle started.
"So aggressive and diligent, is that Li Xin? He looks a bit like him... But if he is Li Xin, he would not use torches to create a useless black bird!"
Zhou Shi led the Wei army to guard for a long time, but could not figure out who was leading the army. No general in Qin State used this kind of tactics.
I can’t tell what’s going on, I can’t understand what’s going on.
It's unclear and confusing.
Mayor Zhou looked around, trying to find an outlet for his panic.
The singing stopped, the Qin army's offensive increased sharply, so what about the car that stopped?
He looked up and saw that there were still many flints in the sky that had not fallen yet and were floating towards him.
[Floating... How can flint float? That's not flint!]
As they got closer, they could vaguely see the baskets, animal skins, and the figures of the Qin army next to the one-meter-high flame.
[These Qin dogs...are in heaven...]
His pupils suddenly shrank, and without caring about the shock, Zhou Shi pointed at the hot air balloon in the sky and gave a hoarse order! Extremely urgent!
"Archers! Shoot these Qin dogs down from the sky!"
Chu Ren looked in the direction Zhou Shi pointed and immediately said in a hurry:
"General! It's too late! These Qin dogs are too close!"
