Immortal Space

Chapter 22 Big Victory

The next day, perhaps feeling that victory was in sight, the Qin army launched a more violent attack. There are more than 20 more ladders than yesterday.

Wang Hong used the same method as yesterday to destroy the ladder first. His defensive pressure on the wall has been greatly reduced. It attracted envious eyes from the rest of the team, they are still working hard.

Wang Hong also smashed the ladders on his left and right sides by the way, so please help if you can. As for other places, there was nothing he could do.

On this day, the Qin army continued to attack non-stop, and did not retreat until dark.

In a valley behind the Qin army, there is a continuous stretch of tents, surrounded by a circle of refusal horses. The rear of the horses is connected end to end by carts, like a wall forming a circle. At this time, the lights were brightly lit, and a group of patrolling soldiers walked around from time to time. This is the place where the Qin army accumulated grain and grass, guarded by four thousand elite soldiers.

In the mountain on one side of the camp, there were only a few people, and thousands of people were lurking, staring at the camp below. Like a tiger ready to pounce at any time. The people and horses in the mountains lurk quietly until late at night, when the lights in the tents gradually went out.

"Cuckoo!"

With the sound of a bird singing, all the soldiers quietly went to the camp below.

A moment later, the camp was full of flames and the sound of killing was everywhere. Many Qin soldiers were separated from their heads in their sleep. Some soldiers woke up in a panic and were beheaded on the spot before they could organize a team to resist.

The next day, Wang Hong and the others prepared early to meet the fierce attack of the Qin army.

However, the Qin army had not yet attacked the city. They first received an order from the superior, ordering them to carry three days of dry food each, and be ready to go out of the city to fight at any time.

Everyone was puzzled. They were still at a disadvantage yesterday and almost broke through the city wall. Today, the force will go out of the city to counterattack?

Soon, another news came. Just last night, the Chu army raided the Qin army’s grain and grass warehouse, and burned all the Qin army’s grain and grass. Now the Qin army has at most one day’s grain and grass. As long as you stick to it for one day, the Qin army will retreat.

When the news came, the morale of the Chu army was greatly boosted. After being suppressed and beaten by the Qin army for a few days, they felt suffocated. At this time, everyone was gearing up and vowed to beat Qin Jun hard.

That day, the Qin army launched the craziest attack since the beginning of the war. The arrows shot at the city wall were like a torrential rain, and it never stopped for a moment.

In addition to the siege ladder, the Qin army carried a simple wooden ladder, put it directly on the city wall, and climbed up. Qin Jun crawled all over the city wall like ants.

The Chu army defending the city smashed the rolling wood and stones down, and every time they hit it, they could overwhelm a large area, causing red and white to flow all over the ground.

A large iron pot was set up on the city wall, the oil was boiled until it boiled, and it was poured down from the city wall. The Qin army under the wall was drenched until a layer of skin fell off, and the red tender meat was exposed on the face and hands. The clothes on his body were even more connected with the flesh and blood, and every time he moved, blood and tears rolled down.

After the hot oil was poured, a few torches were thrown down, and a large flame burst out from the ground below the city, which soon became a sea of ??flames, and there were bursts of heart-piercing howls.

The howling sound became weaker and weaker, thick black smoke rose from the fire, choking the Chu army on the city wall, unable to open their eyes, and their throats felt as uncomfortable as burning.

Wang Hong wet the corner of his clothes, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and leaned against the other side of the city wall. The black smoke was also accompanied by bursts of burnt and meaty smells. It felt like these two smells mixed together and penetrated into the nose and mouth, making Wang Hong feel sick.

It seems that the fire will not stop for a while, and before the fire stops, they received an order to go out of the city to pursue the Qin army!

After leaving the city, the Qin army had already pulled out the stronghold and retreated slowly. It seems that Qin Jun felt that there was no hope of attacking the city, so he was about to retreat.

Although the Qin army retreated, its formation was strict and not chaotic, forming a large square formation, with swords and shields on the outside, and spearmen on the inside with their guns pointed out, ready to meet the enemy at any time. The innermost archer is still firing arrows out.

The Chu army pursued in a formation of geese. The main general and the central army were located in the center, and the two wings were located on both sides, like the two wings of a wild goose, they could move forward and outflank inward at any time.

Wang Hong is on the left wing, and now is a great opportunity to kill the generals and capture the flag and make meritorious deeds. Unfortunately, except for the injured, there are only fifty or so people in his sixth brigade who can go out of the city to fight.

Qin Jun walked unhurriedly in front, and Chu Jun followed unhurriedly behind. An hour later, Qin Jun's feather arrows were exhausted, and no more feather arrows flew out of Qin Jun's formation.

From then on, Chu Jun would pounce on him whenever he had a chance, and bite off a piece of meat from Qin Jun. There are also two elite small troops, often attacking the Qin army in a conical formation from both sides, like two sharp knives, piercing into the Qin army's formation, and dividing a small piece of Qin army from it, and then quickly captured by the army behind. devour.

Just walking and killing like this, the results of the day were quite fruitful, especially it caused great mental pressure on the Qin army.

At night, due to the inconvenience of marching, both sides stopped at the same place and set up camp.

At this time, Chu Jun was gnawing on dry food, while Qin Jun was so hungry that he could only pour water into his stomach desperately to relieve his hunger.

Of course, the night did not make it easier for the Qin army. The Chu army sent a small group of troops to launch several raids. Before dawn the next day, the Chu army launched another attack on the Qin army, and the Qin army was still fighting and retreating.

After most of the day, the Qin army was already tired and hungry, everyone was exhausted and panicked.

Suddenly, from the thorns of the hills on both sides, an elite Chu army rushed out. It was the Chu army that was sent out to burn the Qin army's food and grass before, and it turned out that it had already ambushed on this road that the Qin army must pass. Breaking out at this time is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

The Chu army in the rear also launched a fierce attack at the same time, and the two wings quickly moved to the left and right sides to outflank them. But staying at the forefront and allowing him to flee for his life is exactly the way of encircling the three and missing one. In order to further disintegrate the morale of the army and prevent the trapped beasts from continuing to fight, they fought to the death with the Chu army.

In less than a quarter of an hour after the Chu army stormed, the Qin army finally collapsed and fled forward one after another, no longer caring about the formation. At this time, I only hated my parents for losing two legs. The military judge yelled loudly and chopped off several heads with a knife. It was just that it was quickly overwhelmed by the fleeing crowd. The so-called defeat is like a mountain, so it is.

Seeing this, the Chu army used the brigade as a unit to pursue the defeated Qin army separately.

Wang Hong took fifty people from the Sixth Brigade and chased them for a while. Killing the Qin army along the way was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

The most formidable opponent I have ever encountered is only a martial artist at the peak of Houtian, who was stabbed through the throat by Wang Hong in two or three shots. He also won a battalion flag by the way.

This journey has yielded a lot of rewards. Each of the fifty men under his command has one or two battle exploits. Wang Hong beheaded two school lieutenants and won two battalion flags, which is enough to go back and claim the merit.

In this battle, the Chu army won a big victory. In addition to the battle of defending the city, they killed more than 50,000 Qin troops. Soon the news spread throughout the battlefield. This was the first time that the Chu army defeated the Qin army since the Qin army increased its troops, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chu army.

In the next few months, the Chu army launched a counterattack against the Qin army. In addition to the arrival of reinforcements from all walks of life, the Chu army began to slowly recover the lost ground.
