Chapter 65 Attacking Yang City

After capturing Nanyang, the army continued to set off towards the southeast.

The vanguard was the surrender troops led by Ning Teng. They surrendered not long ago. Although Wang Ben accepted them all, he would not change into the Qin army's black armor so quickly.

In order to be different from the Korean army, Ning Teng ordered all the soldiers to tear off their left sleeves so as not to accidentally injure their own people.

In less than two days, the Qin army came to Yangcheng.

After Jincheng surrendered, some Korean soldiers did not follow Ning Teng and join the Qin army, but sneaked back.

By this time, the news of Ning Teng's surrender had already reached Yangcheng.

Baoying, the guard of Yangcheng, was the son of Baoyuan, the Korean general.

Bao Yuan once fought against Bai Qi in the Battle of Yique. Although he returned in defeat, he still achieved certain results. He was the only general in Korea who was able to take action in the late period.

After Baoyuan died, his son Baoying was far inferior to his father.

The strength of leading an army in battle is far inferior to that of Ning Teng.

However, South Korea was weak and there were no generals available in the country, so Baoying could only let Bao Ying guard Yangcheng. At this time, seeing that the Qin army had come over, he quickly gathered the remaining 50,000 people on the tower.

Various measures to defend the city were prepared in advance, but the Yangcheng defenders did not have much confidence and looked at the bottom of the city tower in fear.

"General Baoying, surrender!"

Ning Teng doesn't want Koreans to fight Koreans.

If Baoying is willing to surrender, he will definitely try his best to persuade Wang Ben to accept these Korean troops.

Bao Ying didn't have any other abilities, but he still had his backbone. He said coldly: "Even if I, Bao Ying, die in the battle, I will not abandon my country like you, Ning Teng. If you want to fight, I will fight with you to the end."

."

This sentence was said with a bit of momentum and could barely boost the morale on the tower.

Ning Teng lowered his head in shame.

Wang Ben said: "Guard Ning, since he refuses to surrender, let's fight!"

"Siege the city!"

Ning Teng could only give up persuasion and ordered an attack on the city.

Boom, boom, boom!

The war drums were beaten continuously.

One hundred thousand surrendered troops received the order to attack the city, divided into several echelons and quickly moved forward.

The equipment used for siege, such as carts and other equipment, are relatively large and inconvenient to carry. Generally speaking, they are made on-site. They are made by cutting wood near the city where they are attacked.

The only ones that were easy to carry and could be carried on the march were ladders and some trebuchets among the Qin army.

Tens of thousands of surrendered troops carried ladders and quickly approached the tower.

Wang Ben gave the trebuchet in the army to Ning Teng and quickly pushed it forward. However, the Qin army had no intention of taking action and only let the troops surrender to attack the city.

"Defend!"

Baoying shouted loudly.

boom!

A huge boulder was first thrown down from the trebuchet on the tower.

This was followed by countless arrow rains, which continued to hit the descending troops attacking the city.

The surrendering soldiers only need to raise their shields, quickly set up the ladder under pressure, and start climbing up the tower.

Korean weapons are really powerful. The crossbows are so powerful that they can penetrate even shields. The trebuchets have a very long strike range and can throw bigger rocks. A large number of soldiers fell down in an instant.

The crossbows used to surrender troops are of course also Korean weapons.

When the crossbowmen approached the tower, they quickly fired upwards to suppress the Korean crossbowmen on the tower and cover the soldiers climbing the tower.

The trebuchet arranged by Wang Ben was already close to the city wall. The huge stone was thrown and quickly landed on the city tower with a fierce sound of wind.

boom!

Stones fell and several Korean crossbowmen were killed on the spot.

"Continue the attack!"

Ning Teng directed the people in the first echelon to climb the tower continuously.

The second echelon of crossbowmen covered the first echelon's continued advance, and the third echelon was quickly mobilized by him, picking up shields and braving the rain of arrows to gather at the tower.

Both sides were originally Korean troops, and their combat effectiveness was almost the same.

Baoying's side had the advantage of the city tower and gradually gained the upper hand. No matter how Ning Teng directed it, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough given the lack of overall strength. Anyone who went to attack the city would almost die.

"Come on!"

Ning Teng continued to have people beat the drums, and the descendants of the fourth echelon also joined the battle.

The other side.

"The surrendered troops led by Ning Teng are a bit weak after all!"

Wang Ben shook his head in disappointment.

If it were the soldiers of their Qin army, they would only need 5,000 trapped soldiers to attack the city tower in Yangcheng with 50,000 guards.

If we could capture the entire city, it would take about 50,000 people.

The Korean army is indeed weak and incapable.

Bai Zhong picked up the strengthened bow and said calmly: "In this case, I'm here to help Ning Teng."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and zoomed in. He saw a commanding lieutenant on the tower, nocking an arrow and drawing a bow. The sharp arrow shot out quickly, and only heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The lieutenant general of the Korean army fell down in response.

The arrow penetrated his body and hit a trebuchet behind him.

The frame of the trebuchet was made of wood. It was broken on the spot and fell down with a "bang", overwhelming many Korean crossbowmen.

"Good archery skills!"

Wang Ben shouted excitedly.

From their location, they were far away from the Korean lieutenant. Jiu Shi's strong bow had this range, but if the range was too far, the effective range would not be able to keep up, making it impossible to shoot accurately.

Bai Zhong's performance completely ignored the limitations of the effective range and hit every target.

"Come again!"

Bai Zhong circulated his immortal energy, then zoomed in closer, and soon focused on the second lieutenant.

The bow string was stretched and then loosened, and the second arrow quickly reached the tower.

The second lieutenant also arrived in response.

Bai Zhong continued to shoot, and arrows shot towards the tower one after another. In the blink of an eye, he killed four lieutenants.

The fifth lieutenant finally discovered something. Looking from a distance, he quickly stepped back and hid behind a Korean soldier when Bai Zhong drew his bow.

But the arrow passed through the neck of the Korean soldier, pierced the bridge of the lieutenant's nose, and then went straight through his forehead.

Died on the spot.

"One arrow kills two people, good!"

Wang Ben cheered.

He thought about his own strength. Even with a three-stone strong bow, he could shoot three or four arrows, but his arms already felt weak.

Bai Zhong used a nine-stone bow that could shoot five arrows in a row without any discomfort.

How strong is the arm strength required to do this?

Above the tower.

The Han army's deputy general, general Pi and others were almost all shot dead by Bai Zhong. The soldiers guarding the city had no one to direct them, and they quickly became a mess, not knowing what to do.

Ning Teng looked back and was no longer surprised by Bai Zhong's archery skills because he had seen it once two days ago.

"Keep climbing!"

He urged the troops to surrender and take advantage of this opportunity to attack.

Some Korean troops had no one to command them, and their resistance was greatly reduced.

Finally, the first batch of soldiers climbed up the tower, but as soon as they climbed up, they were penetrated by several long-armed soldiers who used their long-armed weapons to pierce their bodies.

However, the other soldiers did not give up and continued to climb up.

Fighting makes people forget fear and everything else.

At this point, the surrendering troops no longer cared about the Korean troops in front of them. They were once their colleagues and only knew how to fight.

at the same time.
