Chapter 296: Breaking Biandu

Liu Hao looked at Bian Ducheng not far ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Second order, our Qin State must win this battle quickly! Let the craftsmen in the army bring out all the siege equipment that has been developed before! I must work hard to capture Biandu!" Liu Hao sat in charge

On the seat, look at this Liu Yu said.

"Here!" Liu Yu promised.

Following Liu Hao's order, the Qin army camp began to get busy.

Soon, counterweighted catapults, rams, and three-bow crossbows were all built. The most massive among them was the Qin Army's newly built siege vehicle.

This siege vehicle is somewhat similar to the siege tower of the Wei State. They both have a huge body at the bottom, but the difference is that the siege tower climbs upward, while the siege vehicle of the Qin State is about a wide

A five-foot slope platform.

The front pedal is erected like a huge shield.

Because the slope is wide enough, it can accommodate more soldiers at the same time.

The disadvantage is that the car body is too large, moves slowly, and is difficult to build.

The Qin army spent a lot of manpower but could only build two such siege vehicles.

Liu Hao saw that the Qin army was ready and directly ordered the attack.

The first to launch the attack was the counterweight catapult, the main force of the Qin army's siege.

The Qin soldiers first poured black kerosene on the stone bullets, then lit them directly and threw them out.

I saw dozens of stone bullets emitting black smoke, hitting Biandu City. The walls of Biandu City were hit and the mountains shook.

The stone bullets that hit the city tower would roll very fast and directly create a trail of blood on the city wall.

Or the stone bullets shattered, and the debris flew everywhere, harvesting the names of Wei soldiers unscrupulously.

The second wave was the Qin Army's bed crossbow. Its huge power allowed the stepping arrows to cross a distance of hundreds of steps and shoot directly through the female wall.

In order to quickly attack the city and kill a large number of the Wei army's defenders, the Qin army deliberately raised the bed crossbow by three inches. The target was directed at the relatively weak female wall.

Those Wei soldiers who thought they were safe hiding behind the female wall were directly penetrated by huge crossbow bolts.

The third wave was the Qin army's archers. Taking advantage of the suppression of the siege equipment, they rushed to a distance of fifty steps in front of the city wall, and then opened their bows and fired arrows.

Since the Qin army was to suppress the Wei army defending the city, they did not use volleys this time, but fired in batches. The deadly rain of arrows continued to fall on the top of the city, leaving the Wei soldiers to hide.

Under the wooden shield, he did not dare to step forward and fight back.

At this time, the strong men in the Qin army began to push the heavy chariots and siege towers up.

On the other hand, although the generals of the Wei army knew that the Qin army had begun to attack the city, behind the suppression of the arrow feathers was definitely the Qin army's soldiers ascending the city.

But now he has no way to stop the Qin army from ascending the city. Even if he orders the soldiers to stand up and fight back against the Qin army, how many of them will actually stand up and fight back?

Looking at the rain of arrows outside the shield, the Wei general knew that if he went out to fight back at this time, he would definitely be dead.

His only chance now is that after the Qin army's soldiers board the city, the Qin army's archers will stop covering a large area and shoot.

Only then can the Wei army stand up and fight back to fight for that glimmer of hope.

However, he also knew that the Qin army has always been famous for its ability to conquer and fight well.

The Wei army wanted to repel the Qin army when their forces were unequal, but there was nothing to show for it.

But he had no choice but to hold on until he collapsed.

Soon, the generals of the Wei army could feel the Qin army charging towards the city gate.

The thumping sound seemed to hit his heart every time.

Although he is worried about the city gate now, at least he has blocked the city gate in advance, so even if the city gate is knocked open, he can still hold on for a while.

But what worries him most now is the Qin army's siege vehicles.

He is now hiding under the shield and can feel the pressure of the siege vehicle on him.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

The planks in front of the siege vehicle were lowered, and the hooks made of fine iron directly hooked the edge of Biandu's city wall.

He knew that this was the time to fight.

"Quick! Fire arrows! Stop the Qin army from ascending the city!" Following the order from the general of the Wei army, the soldiers of the Wei army stood up quickly, and with their fully drawn bows and arrows, they pointed directly at the soldiers of the Qin army who were preparing to attack the city.

Although the Qin army wore iron armor and held heavy iron shields.

However, facing the volleys of Wei archers at close range, the Qin soldiers in the front row were hit by arrows and fell off the city wall.

On the other hand, the Qin soldiers behind them still charged towards the city wall with their iron shields raised.

The soldiers of Qin used their own blood to pave the way to the city wall for the robes behind them.

The Qin army behind them saw their robes hit by arrows and falling off the city wall. They also rushed towards the Wei army with red eyes.

Even the elite Wei army could only shoot four or five arrows from a short distance of seven to eight feet.

Then the Qin army jumped on the city wall and started fighting with the Wei army.

The two sides went back and forth and started fighting on the city wall.

After a while, the Qin army captured an archery tower, but failed and was defeated by the Wei army again. The two sides started fighting on the city wall that was only four or five feet wide.

However, the Wei army's city defenses were empty and a large number of troops had been drawn out.

Now, in addition to the more than 50,000 Wei soldiers guarding the city, there are only more than 70,000 guards of the King of Wei on the city. All in all, there are only more than 70,000 people. How to deal with the Qin army, which is larger than them?

In addition, the Qin army's siege vehicles and tactics directly eliminated the Wei army's city defense advantage, so the Wei army began to become increasingly weak.

Gradually, the Wei army was pushed back by the Qin army to the city ladder.

At this time, the Qin army's archers also began to ascend the city. They stood on a section of the city wall that the Qin army had just cleared, and began to shoot arrows towards the place where the Wei army gathered.

Since the soldiers on both sides were crowded together, the archers on both sides did not need to take careful aim and could shoot arrows directly towards the enemy's location to hit the target.

Human life seemed extremely worthless at this moment. However, in comparison, the Wei army suffered more casualties than the Qin army, and this casualty ratio continued to increase.

Another point is that with the Qin army's infantry and armored soldiers ascending the city, the ownership of the city has been declared.

The soldiers who attacked the city at the beginning were not heavily armored soldiers such as foot soldiers. The main reason was that foot soldiers were difficult to train and their numbers were small. If they were arranged to attack in the first wave, they would not be able to suppress them.

effect.

These infantry soldiers wearing heavy armor are a magic weapon for victory and can only be used as the tip of a knife.

Now that the Qin army has established a firm foothold on the city wall, the soldiers of Qin and Wei are confronting each other, and they are fighting inextricably. At this time, the infantry and armored soldiers are thrown in, allowing them to become blades and directly break through the Wei army's defense line.

When the infantrymen stepped forward, the thick armor was not afraid of the Wei army's arrows. The heavy armor from head to toe gave the Qin soldiers great courage.

They stood in the first row, raised the pumpkin hammers in their hands, and smashed them at the Wei soldiers.

The huge strength of the infantry and armored soldiers, coupled with the attack from above, gave them an advantage.

The Wei army's defense line continued to retreat and retreat.

When they retreated to the city, the soldiers of the Qin army captured the city wall of Wei's capital in two or three hours. What was saved was to clear the resistance in the city, and Qin would have captured the capital of Wei.
