Chapter 131 West Attack on Liyang (Part 2)
Seeing that the counterattack at the top of the city was suppressed, Pang Juan behind the formation nodded, and immediately, the five thousand Wei nationals on standby carried the earthen bag and headed straight to the city.
Their task is very simple, which is to use soil bags to fill out several passages in the moat so that the Wei army can reach the city directly.
Of course, even with the cover of the army, the risk of doing so is quite high.
However, Pang Juan gave a very generous reward, and the Qin army's burning, killing, looting and looting in Hexi also aroused the surging anger of the Wei people. Everyone rushed to the top of the city.
On the top of the city, Yingquliang and the generals also rushed over and rushed to the north city where the Wei army was attacking.
However, as soon as he came to the city, Ying Quliang and others were furious: the civilians who filled the moat in Wei State were getting closer, but the Qin army was timid and huddled behind the city wall and ignored it.
Is this the Qin people who are known for their bravery and ferocity?
Ying Quliang knew that Pang Cheng's crushing defeat and Ying Lian's death brought devastating damage to the morale of the Qin army.
He had to turn this situation around, otherwise, if he could not wait for reinforcements, the Qin State would be finished.
"Where is the general on duty?" Ying Quliang shouted.
"Duke Qin, the last one is here." A middle-aged general in his thirties rushed over in panic. Seeing Ying Qu Liang's face turned pale, his heart was upset.
"I ask you, the Wei army is at the city and Liyang is in danger. Why don't you fight back?" Ying Quliang's face turned cold.
"Qin Gong," the general said with a sweat on his forehead, "The Wei people are cunning, and they have a strong wall for their own sake. I can't shoot the crossbow, but as soon as my Qin soldiers emerge, they will be shot and killed. The generals and soldiers are helpless, so--"
"So, you just hike and let the Wei army march straight in, right? You are such a timid and afraid of death, what's the point of leaving you?" After that, Ying Quliang pulled out his sword with a "cang lang" and without saying anything, he killed the general with one sword.
In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground, and everyone was shocked.
Ying Quliang killed the generals and established his authority, and looked around sternly: "The soldiers obeyed the orders, the Wei people were violent, and the Qin State was in danger. If someone dared to shrink back and fail to forward, he would kill him without mercy and kill the three clans! Now, I will send tens of thousands of arrows to block the Wei army!"
"promise!"
All the troops were afraid, and saw Ying Quliang personally supervising the battle. No one dared to shrink back. They all leaned out and poured arrow rains down the city again.
"Dangdang..."
However, the tight shield wall of the Wei army still left the Qin people with no effort, leaving countless clear white dots on the shields one by one.
"Swish..."
Taking advantage of the slightest rain of the Qin army's arrows, the Wei army's shield wall broke through lightning, and countless arrows were shot out immediately.
“Puff…”
"ah……"
On the top of the city, countless Qin troops were immediately shot into arrows and fell to the ground with a scream.
Shu Changguo was anxious when he saw this: "Duke Qin, this is not enough to fight. Our army is at a disadvantage. The last general thought that he could divide the crossbow soldiers into two groups, one as bait to lure the Wei army to shoot, and the other as ambush. Once the Wei army withdraws the shield wall, it will be severely damaged."
"Good idea." Ying Quliang was overjoyed and immediately ordered to prepare as he did.
At this moment, five thousand Wei people were approaching the city. The Wei army formation, which had been prepared, immediately cracked several passages, allowing the civilians to pass through, while taking the responsibility of covering.
The people followed the passage and swarmed to the moat, throwing the earth bags on their shoulders into the river.
"Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
As the water splashed, a simple embankment made of soil bags quickly formed and extended to the other side of the river.
"Shoot the arrows and kill the Wei people first." Shu Changguo said sternly.
"Swish..."
The Qin army crossbowmen who were responsible for bait immediately emerged and shot thousands of arrows at once to deal with the Wei people.
"Pubo... Oh, I'm hit by an arrow..." Five thousand Wei nationals gathered together and were the best targets. When the arrow rain came, one or two hundred people were immediately shot into arrows, and there were screams of tragic sounds.
hateful!
Seeing countless villagers being tragically killed and injured by arrows, the Wei army was furious.
“Protect the villagers.”
Amid the roar, the Wei army's shield wall cracked, and five thousand crossbowmen poked out again, shooting revenge rage at the top of the city.
The Qin army crossbowmen who were massacring the Wei people suddenly screamed, and many people were shot by arrows and fell on the city wall like dumplings.
"Okay, good cum!"
The Wei people were cheering and thundering. On the top of the city, another group of Qin ambushers who had been on standby leaned forward in lightning, and arrows were blowing like rain.
Before the Wei army's shield wall could be closed, it was immediately caught off guard.
"Pu, pu..."
Many Wei army crossbowmen were immediately caught in arrows and fell to the ground, and the strict formation was in chaos.
"Good cum!"
Yingquliang was overjoyed when he saw this through the safer observation hole and finally exclaimed.
Seeing that the Wei army's arrows were suppressed for a while, the other Qin army crossbowmen were also liable to be defeated by arrows. Suddenly, the casualties of the Wei army crossbowmen and civilians rose sharply, and the work of filling the river was suddenly unsustainable.
"hateful!"
At this time, the general Banning was responsible for the command of the city. Seeing this, he was really gritting his teeth.
However, Baning has experienced a long battle formation and is experienced, but he is not panicked.
"The whole army shoots freely and covers the civilians to fill the river. As long as the Qin army dares to emerge, they will be killed without mercy!" Baning immediately changed his tactics and chose to fight against the Qin army's head.
Although such casualties must be very large, there is no way to cover up the people to fill the river.
War is going to die.
As long as you can win, any sacrifice is worth it.
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired in the city, and the arrows were so dense that they collided frequently in the air, breaking and falling.
The casualties of the Qin and Wei armies also increased rapidly.
The siege is indeed a meat grinder for both the enemy and us. The cruelty that makes people scalp tingle is unimaginable to those who have never been on the battlefield.
However, the casualties of the Wei army's crossbowmen were not in vain. They bought valuable time and opportunities for the civilians.
The civil servants also risked their lives to step forward, desperately using sandbags to quickly extend the embankment to the other side.
...
A quarter of an hour later, the Wei army's crossbowmen and civilians suffered thousands of casualties, but finally more than ten passages were opened on the moat.
The door to attack Liyang was opened!
"Siege!"
Faced with a lot of casualties, Pang Juan behind the formation was expressionless, but waved his hand coldly and issued an order to the general attack.
"Dongdong..."
In an instant, ten thousand light soldiers standing by behind the formation shouted and shouted as they rushed to the sky, and they carried a long ladder and rushed straight to the city as if they were like a huge land.
The situation seemed good, but Sun Bin frowned slightly.
At present, the situation in the Wei army is very good, but Sun Bin keenly discovered the danger hidden behind it.
Now, the main forces of the Wei army are all in Hexi, and the country is empty.
Once Han, Zhao, Chu and other countries see through the reality and send troops to raid, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Sun Bin believed that to destroy Qin, there was no need to rush to do so. To be safe, it would be better to return to the army first and stabilize the country.
Besides, the famous king of Yingquliang generation is definitely not an ordinary person. Is this Qin really that easy to destroy?
Anyway, Sun Bin didn't have much confidence.
However, he knew that the Qin army's invasion of Hexi this time brought huge losses to the Wei State, and the Wei army was full of eyes.
At this time, he suggested withdrawing the troops, and no one would listen to him.
Including Pang Juan.
Being good at tactics and being short of strategy is exactly Pang Juan’s shortcomings.
