Chapter 13 Failed to break the city

Bai Zhong didn't expect that none of the more than thirty people under his command could keep up.

Even Wang Li and the others couldn't kill them. They were suppressed by the dense rain of arrows as soon as they appeared. They could only use their bows and arrows on the building cart to cover Bai Zhong as much as possible. They tried to extend the bridge wood several times but failed.

Already.

Now Bai Zhong had no way to retreat. Seeing that Chang Ge was about to stab him again, he blocked half of it with his shield and blocked the rest with his sword.

"This boy must die!"

Li Mu narrowed his eyes.

If it were him, facing such an attack, he would be seriously injured even if he could fend it off.

This Qin army's hundred generals are ridiculously powerful.

The killing intent in his eyes became even stronger.

Other Zhao soldiers continued to fight, but Bai Zhong killed two more people, stood on the city wall, and threw back the shield in his hand.

call!

The shield flew out of his hand and faced the pursuing soldiers, knocking down several people on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhong used his legs hard and jumped in the direction of the building car.

"Bai Baijiang!"

Zhang Han and others exclaimed in worry.

Li Mu and the others looked outside at the same time and saw Bai Zhong's amazing jumping ability.

There was a certain distance between the city tower and the carriage. Bai Zhong jumped over smoothly and landed safely on the carriage.

"Shoot him!"

Li Mu was determined not to let Bai Zhong go.

Zhao Jun's archers quickly drew their bows and arrows flew towards Baizhong.

Hou Wenshan reacted the fastest and quickly raised his shield to block the arrow, just in time to block it.

Bai Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief, almost using Hui Yue to be immune to damage, and immediately said: "Quickly retreat!"

The siege battle lasted for more than an hour, and no one except Bai Zhong could climb onto the tower of Yi'an. Huanjue was very anxious when he saw this scene, and had no choice but to order a retreat.

If the fight continues, I don't know how many more soldiers will be lost.

Woohoo!

When the retreat horn sounded, all the soldiers of the Qin army breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zhong returned to the camp and took out eight ears from his body. Except for him, only the archers in the army could kill the enemy.

But he is the only one who can bring back the enemy's ears.

The title from the previous battle had not yet come down, so the merit of killing eight enemies this time should be nothing. Bai Zhong handed it to the military judge and then opened the attribute panel to take a look.

According to the statistics of the system, he killed thirty-eight enemies in total, and thirty of them were missed in the chaos.

"Add all points to physical strength."

"Defense 38, Strength 38, Speed ​​38"

After successfully adding points, Bai Zhong's strength increased a lot. The fatigue from killing the enemy just now was gone, and his wounds were almost healed.

After the defeat in this battle, Huanjue felt that Yi'an was a tough guy.

He immediately summoned all his generals to the main tent to discuss how to attack the city next.

Wang Li stood in front of the military camp, looked at the tower of Yi'an, and murmured: "Baizhong was really right. With Li Mu's defensive strength, it will be extremely difficult for our army to break the city!"

He felt that Bai Zhong seemed to be more than just a man of personal bravery.

——

On the upper floor of Yi'an Castle.

Li Mu finally saw the Qin army retreating.

Yi'an can be defended, and then the stalemate with the Qin army will continue.

"General, we really don't plan to go to war?"

A Zhao general named Zhao Cong asked.

"The Qin army has won consecutive victories and its morale is high. If we go out to fight out of the city, it will be difficult for our army to win, and it may even lead to the loss of Yi'an."

"What we have to do is to hold on to Yi'an, delay the Qin army, and deplete the morale of the Qin army."

"I have a way to deal with it. The Qin army will be defeated in this battle!"

Li Muxin said.

——

Xianyang.

Zhangtai Palace.

In addition to handling the necessary daily political affairs, Ying Zheng often sat beside the sand table in Zhangtai Palace, waiting for military information to come back from the front line.

On that day, he ordered a three-pronged army to attack Handan. More than a month has passed. During this period, some good news was obtained. For example, Wang Ben had defeated Langmeng and was preparing to march eastward to Fanwu.

Mengwu crossed the Zhang River and began to attack Yecheng. The next step was Handan.

The war went smoothly and Ying Zheng was very satisfied.

Only from Huanjue's side, no military information has been sent back, and there is no news about the people who went to investigate Bai Zhong's military exploits. However, Chili Yi'an and other places are relatively far away from Xianyang. Although Yingzheng is impatient, he still continues to wait.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Meng Yi would like to see you."

Outside the main hall, Zhao Gao stood in front of the door and shouted.

"Finally there is news, please spread the word quickly!"

Ying Zheng's face lit up with joy.

The people who went to investigate Bai Zhong's military exploits were sent by Meng Yi.

Meng Yi came to ask for a meeting, and there should be news back.

"Meet the king!"

Meng Yi walked into the hall, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "I have ordered people to investigate the situation over at Chili. The soldier named Bai Zhong did kill fifty-two enemies. Many soldiers in the army can testify.

, and there is another even more shocking thing.”

The feat of killing fifty-two enemies is indeed true. Da Qin really has a brave general.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed and asked again: "What else can shock you?"

Meng Yi continued: "Chili has been defeated by General Huan, but in the battle to break the city, Bai Zhong has been promoted to the commander of the village. With his own ability, he killed 109 enemies, and there was not a single soldier under his command.

Sacrifice, and you can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet for a while.

Ying Zheng couldn't believe what he heard and asked eagerly: "But is it true?"

"Really! All the sergeants and soldiers in the army can testify that they all watched how Bai Zhong killed the enemy. Among the 109 people, there was also Zhao Yuan, the commander of the Zhao army in Chili. Bai Zhong was the first to break the city.

"

"One hundred and eight right ears, plus Zhao Yuan's head, were sent back by the ministers in lime storage, just outside the palace."

Meng Yi raised a bamboo slip high and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, I'll ask someone to send my ears in."

Ying Zheng took it personally, opened it and looked at it for a long time, and said with great joy: "The great Qin of China has such a brave man, God bless the great Qin!"

Meng Yi continued: "General Huan also said that Bai Zhong is just a new soldier. It is inappropriate to give him a high title, and it is not in compliance with the military law if he is given a low title. He doesn't know how to give a reward, so I ask your Majesty to make an idea."

"indeed so!"

Ying Zheng checked Bai Zhong's information and found that he had only been in the army for a few months and had already been promoted from a soldier to a soldier.

If it were anyone else who would have fought on the battlefield until the day he died, he might not even have been a public servant. Bai Zhong's current military exploits, coupled with the fact that he killed the enemy's general, would be more than enough to reward him with an eighth-class public carriage.

The military title system: one is a public official, two is a high-ranking official, three is a hairpin, four is an official, the fifth is a senior official, the sixth is a senior official, the seventh is a senior official, the eighth is a senior official, the ninth is a senior official, the tenth is a concubine commander on the left, the eleventh is a concubine commander on the right,

The twelfth left watch, the thirteenth middle watch, the fourteenth right watch, the fifteenth Shao Shangzao, the sixteenth Great Shangzao (Daliang Zao), the seventeenth chariot concubine chief, the eighteen concubine chief, nineteen Guan Neihou, and the second

Shi Chehou.

It only took a few months from a new soldier to a public servant, which was a huge span. Since Lord Shang established the military merit title system, Baizhong was still the first person to do so.

Huanjue did not dare to make his own decisions.
