Chapter 227 Yang Yan was frightened and Zhao Jun came to kill him. (Supplementary)
"kill!"
"kill!!"
Outside the city, the roaring and killing sounds that disappeared a few days ago sounded again.
Ten reassembled ladders slowly approached the city tower under the dense arrows, and finally attached themselves to the city wall.
Countless soldiers of the Qin army walked towards the city wall from the plains outside the city, holding weapons in hand. As they walked, they raised their bows and crossbows and aimed them at the city head.
As rows of Qin soldiers pulled the triggers of their crossbows, dense arrows flew out instantly, and finally landed on the city road inside the city wall.
Inside the city road of Yanyu City.
Countless Zhao soldiers were hit by arrows and then fell to the ground beside other Zhao soldiers. Some died directly, while others screamed in pain and looked at the arrows stuck in their bodies.
Even some strong men who helped carry stones and wooden tools were killed by arrows at this moment.
"Hurry and hold on!"
"Fire the arrow!"
But just after the arrows passed, the Zhao soldiers who were hiding on the city wall stood up one after another, raised their bows, and fired arrows at the Qin army below the city wall.
Crossbows have a longer range than curved bows, but curved bows are more convenient and faster for shooting arrows than crossbows.
Boo hoo hoo~!
Along with the dense arrows, they were shot at the Qin army under the city tower. In an instant, countless Qin soldiers could be seen outside the city, falling to the ground after being hit by arrows.
To shoot an arrow, reach for the arrow basket behind your back to take out the arrow, then nock the bow and shoot again.
Facing the Qin soldiers who were killed, none of the Zhao soldiers showed any mercy.
Within the city road.
Guard general Zhao You led a group of Zhao army generals and stood in the city road, watching the Qin army launch another offensive under the city.
"The Qin army only has 20,000 troops. As long as it can defend a few offensives, the troops besieging Yanyu will be weak and must be defended!"
Zhao You turned to look at the other generals and said softly.
At this moment, watching the Qin army under the city attack Yanyu, Zhao You was not as panicked as he was a few days ago.
On the contrary, after the Qin army withdrew its 30,000 troops, the remaining 20,000 troops still chose to attack the city. This gave Zhao You a vague premonition that the Qin army general seemed eager to attack.
Thinking of the lobbyist sent by the Qin army commander just now, he mentioned in words that Wang Jian would arrive here tomorrow.
Zhao You looked at the Qin army outside the city. He was waiting for an opportunity to break out of the siege.
"promise!"
"promise!"
The two Zhao army generals raised their hands to Zhao You, then led a few soldiers, turned and walked towards the city roads on the left and right to supervise the battle.
"quick!"
"Quickly return to the stone!!"
In the city road, at a glance, amidst the shouts of General Zhao Jun, a young man in cloth was carrying arrows back and forth. Some bigger young men were still holding stones and throwing them at the outside of the city tower.
go.
Seeing that the Qin army's ladder was approaching the city wall, a Qin soldier had already climbed up the tower along the ladder. Other Zhao army officers and soldiers armed with bows and crossbows came over to defend.
Facing the Qin soldiers who desperately wanted to climb the city tower, the Zhao soldiers gritted their teeth and defended the city wall with all their strength, killing the Qin soldiers who wanted to climb up the city wall.
Dong dong dong dong~!!!
The sound of war drums resounded across the sky. Among the Qin army, Yang Yan rode a war horse and looked at the city of Yan Yu.
Looking at the countless Qin soldiers attacking and capturing the city wall from the tower, it seems that there is only a small chance that the soldiers can climb onto the tower.
"Pass my order to reinforce three thousand soldiers!"
Yang Yan looked at the palace and the tower, his breathing was a little quick, and he gave an order.
It's just a little bit close, as long as there are more soldiers, we can climb the tower!
"promise!"
The Qin soldiers who were delivering the order heard Yang Yan's words. After receiving the order, they turned their horses and rushed towards the phalanx of the army in the distance.
After watching the messenger leave, several other Qin army generals looked at each other with worries in their hearts.
Those ten ladders were previously prepared to cooperate with Nangtu to attack the city in one fell swoop. Now General Yang Yan is using all of them to attack the city, and he is constantly increasing his troops.
They were all worried that this move would affect General Wang Jian's plan to destroy Zhao.
After all, a ladder would take a month and a half at the fastest, and at least three months at the slowest time, not to mention the damage to the army.
Half an hour later.
Just as Yang Yan was leading the Qin army to attack Yanyu, a cavalryman came hurriedly on horseback from a distance.
"Report!!"
Under the gaze of Yang Yan and other Qin army generals, the cavalry came to Yang Yan and reined in their horses with a panicked expression.
"Report, General, it's bad! Zhao reinforcements were found at the North City Gate. Their number exceeds 50,000! They are already fighting with our army in the north!"
The cavalryman raised his hands to Yang Yan and said.
As the cavalry's words fell, all the Qin army generals widened their eyes, with a look of horror in their eyes.
What?
No less than 50,000 Zhao reinforcements!!!
At this moment, not to mention the generals of the Qin army, even Yang Yan was stunned on the spot, looking at the cavalry in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Where did Zhao Jun get 50,000 reinforcements?"
Yang Yan shook his head, his face was dazed, and his eyes were full of panic.
50,000 Zhao reinforcements! How could there be 50,000 soldiers to the north of the Zhao army? Moreover, people had been sent to guard the northernmost mountains. How could these 50,000 Zhao soldiers suddenly appear here?
And as soon as he appeared, he fought with the soldiers from the north.
Today, among the defenders in Zhao State, only Li Mu's Zhao Bianqi and Daibian Army can command more than 50,000 soldiers and horses.
But how could this be Li Mu’s soldiers and horses!
"Report! General, Zhao Jun has come to kill you!"
Suddenly, in the distance, a Qin Qi hurriedly came to Yang Yan and reported in panic.
However, the words fell.
Before Yang Yan and others could react, at the far left end of the Yanyu city wall, the Qin army that had previously surrounded Yanyu had retreated.
Saw this scene.
Yang Yan and others don't understand that these are all true.
A moment later, behind the retreating Qin army, came a steady stream of Zhao troops, increasing in number, like a torrent.
Listening to Zhao Jun's roar that filled the sky.
Yang Yan looked at this scene and his face instantly turned pale.
"It's Zhao Bianqi!"
"General, it's Zhao Bianqi!!"
Yang Yan was surrounded by a Qin general. When he saw the troops and horses clearly, he immediately recognized them as Zhao Bianqi.
It's Zhao Bianqi under Li Mu!
"Impossible, why is Zhao Bianqi here? This is absolutely impossible!"
Yang Yan naturally saw that the large army was Zhao Bianqi.
But Yang Yan suspected that none of this was true. He didn't understand how Li Mu's Zhao Bianqi was here, and there were more than 50,000 of them.
How did Li Mu get this army to appear here?
This is simply impossible!
"General, leave quickly!"
"General!"
Hearing the voices of other generals, Yang Yan came back to his senses and laughed miserably.
Walk?
Where to go now? If he runs away now and returns to Qin, he will lose his title.
If because he failed to hold on here, the armies of General Wang Ben and General Bai Yan were surrounded by Li Mu and the entire army was annihilated, how would he be any different from a dead man?
Even his father and uncle will be influenced by him.
Seeing Zhao Bianqi coming from a distance, Yang Yan reached out and drew out his sword.
"Pass my order to assemble all the soldiers. We cannot let the Zhao army defeat them one by one and fight against the Zhao army!"
Yang Yan, who was wearing Qin armor and carrying his rank, looked desperately at the mighty Zhao army coming from a distance.
This time, he has no intention of leaving here alive!
Inside the palace and the city tower.
Zhao You was leading the defenders to resist the Qin army's attack, when he suddenly heard his soldiers coming to report.
"Report, General, General Sima Shang has led more than 50,000 troops and is coming from the north gate!"
Zhao Zu came to Zhao You, raised his hands and said.
As soon as these words came out.
In the city road, whether it was Zhao You or other generals of the Zhao army, they were all stunned.
General Sima Shang came with an army of fifty thousand?
this moment.
Zhao You and others could not believe their ears. They had already been prepared to die, especially knowing that Qin General Wang Jian would lead the Qin army to arrive here tomorrow.
However, I didn't expect that General Sima Shang had already led an army of 50,000 people!
"Hahaha, great! General Sima Shang is here!"
"Very good!"
After coming back to their senses, when they heard the roar of killing in the distance, and when they heard the news that a Zhao soldier came to report, all the Zhao army generals smiled as if they were surviving the disaster.
At this moment, everyone was happy that Zhao State had Lord Wu An!
As generals of Zhao State, how could they not know that the person behind Zhao Bianqi was none other than Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of Zhao State.
"Tell all the soldiers this news! Tell all the soldiers that Mr. Wu An is here to save us."
Zhao You laughed loudly, his eyes red and full of excitement.
Zhao You, who was surviving the disaster, thought about the fact that his country had Lord Wu An, and that Lord Wu An ordered more than 50,000 troops to come to rescue them.
At this moment, Zhao You, who already admired Lord Wu An, was extremely excited, and in his heart, he burst into tears of gratitude to Lord Wu An.
Clang~!
Zhao You drew his sword.
"You guys, follow me out of the tower!"
Zhao You looked ferocious and shouted loudly that after experiencing despair, he would take revenge on the Qin army.
"promise!"
"promise!!"
The generals of the Zhao army also loudly accepted their orders at this moment, and then drew their swords one after another. They wished they could rush out of the tower and fight to the death with the Qin army outside the city!
