Chapter 444 The Last Line of Defense 1

"Continue to advance!" The captain of the Qin army held an iron shield in one hand to protect himself, and held a long knife in the other hand, ready to deal with the Jin army that suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road.

The soldiers behind him were also guarding both sides of the road.

At this time, this Qin army had entered the center of Jinyang City. The first 100,000 people who entered Jinyang City had been dispersed into countless small groups.

The captain of the Qin Army knew that from now on, he needed to be very careful.

Because since they passed Nancheng, they had encountered many surprise attacks along the way.

Although the morale of these Jin troops was still low, they were still able to organize an attack on the Qin army.

At this time, the captain suddenly felt a slight sound on his left side.

This sound sounded unusually clear in the empty and uninhabited street.

The captain turned his head and looked at the house. He found that the house was an ordinary wooden two-story house.

There are businesses at the bottom, which are now boarded up.

The captain looked up at the shop sign and found that the word "rice" was written on it. The captain knew that this should be a rice shop.

He was a little hesitant now, because the door panel of this store was intact, and it didn't look like someone had entered by force.

He was a little unsure whether it was the common people or the Jin army in this room.

Logically speaking, it is unlikely that the people in Jinyang City will be on the first floor at this time. Because this house is a two-story house, the second floor is definitely safer than the first floor.

However, it’s hard to say. What if the owner of this rice shop is worried that his rice shop will be robbed by the Qin army?

This kind of thing has happened before.

The captain did not dare to directly order people to shoot arrows into the house or set fire to it.

It would be okay if there were Jin troops inside. After all, they were here to kill the enemy.

But if there were civilians inside and he fired arrows so randomly, he would definitely be prosecuted by military law afterwards.

After all, in the military law of the Qin army, there is a three-no rule: "? No killing is allowed? No disturbing the people? No looting."

If you have no reasonable explanation and cause civilian casualties, the lightest punishment you can have is to be deprived of your military rank.

Obviously, the reason "suspecting that there are enemy troops in the house" is untenable.

But for the safety of the following team? The captain could only arrange for soldiers to go in to investigate the situation.

The captain held up the shield, slowly pushed it to the corner of the house on the other side, and then set up the iron shield.

The Qin soldiers behind him immediately divided into two parts.

Some of the soldiers, also holding iron shields in their hands, stood beside the captain and began to defend.

The other Qin soldiers put away their sabers and instead took out a small hand crossbow from their backs.

Gently pull the bowstring on the crossbow, then take out a short crossbow made of fine iron and put it into the slot.

Seeing that Pao Ze beside him was already ready? The captain nodded to the other two soldiers beside him.

The two soldiers pushed the iron helmets on their heads, then tightened the iron shields on their left arms, and cautiously walked towards the rice shop.

Soon, they crossed the street, which was only three feet long, and arrived at the entrance of Midian.

One of the Qin soldiers put his ear to the door panel and listened carefully to the movements in the room.

As a result, he found that there was no sound inside.

So, he shook his head at the Qin soldier opposite him.

His companion nodded to him and then stretched out three fingers.

He instantly understood what his companion meant, which was to wait for three breaths before breaking down the door together.

As his companion's fingers became smaller one by one, he took a deep breath.

After waiting for three breaths, his companion turned around violently, and with the help of turning his body, he kicked directly onto the door panel.

The door panel suddenly cracked, and the Qin soldier rolled forward and rolled into the house.

As the door panel cracked, a scream from a woman and a child came from inside the house.

"There is indeed someone!" The captain heard the scream and determined that there was someone in the house.

But he also breathed a sigh of relief, because the screams were mixed with children's voices.

This shows that there is unlikely to be an ambush inside the house.

After all, who would take their children with them during an ambush?

Sure enough, the Qin soldier who climbed into the rice shop did not make any move after entering.

Then, the captain saw him lowering his iron shield a little bit. Although he was still on guard, he obviously didn't feel as oppressive as at the beginning.

Just as the captain was about to call the Qin soldier to withdraw, he suddenly heard a bang.

Several arrows were shot from the top of his head, spanning a distance of three feet, and directly hit the Qin soldier in the back.

The captain was suddenly startled and shouted loudly, "The Jin army is above us! Break the door!"

As he said that, the famous captain turned around and slammed into the door panel behind him.

The Qin army who was originally hiding behind him and holding a crossbow also moved out of the way. After waiting for the captain to open the wooden door, their fingers gently pulled the trigger of the hand crossbow.

The crossbow arrow made of fine iron passed directly through the broken gap of the wooden door.

The huge crossbow bolt directly hit the Jin army hiding behind the wooden door.

But to the surprise of the captain and others, at this time, several more arrows were shot out from the house. They directly hit the captain's iron shield.

The captain looked at the arrows that were blocked by the iron shield, and couldn't help but feel that An Hu was lucky.

The lieutenant was just about to ask someone to rush in again, when someone pushed open the window on the second floor of the rice shop they were checking out from the inside.

"Whoosh whoosh!" Three more arrows were shot out.

This time, the Qin soldiers hiding in the street were not so lucky. Three soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

"Damn it!" the captain roared angrily.

He now understood that he was being ambushed and surrounded.

"Charge! Rush in! Anyone holding a weapon will be killed!" At this time, the captain's eyes were already red.

Facing his brother, whom he had been with day and night, lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, one can imagine the anger in his heart.

The dozen or so soldiers who had been spared roared angrily after hearing the captain's order, then protected themselves with iron shields and rushed out.

The captain and his soldiers were divided into two groups, and one wave rushed directly into the house where they were now.

In the other group, two soldiers rushed into the rice shop back to back.

The captain rushed into the room, looked around, and found three Jin people in sackcloth in the hall, lying in a pool of blood. There were three bows and arrows beside them.

It was obvious that these three people were the people he had just shot against.

But the first wave of arrows was shot from the second floor.

Obviously, there are people upstairs!
