Battle flags are flying and swords and halberds are everywhere.
To the south of Guzang City, countless Chu troops were standing in front of the enemy city like dark clouds covering the sky.
Yan Liang was sitting on a red rabbit horse, holding the Yitian Sword in his hand, looking up at the head of Guzang City with contempt. Zhou Cang next to him was holding the Green Dragon Sword for him.
The sky was getting brighter, Yan Liang raised his horse whip slightly, and the war drums sounded immediately.
At the front of the army, huge military formations slowly opened up, and mules and horses dragged huge city-breaking cannons towards the front of the formation.
More than two hundred city-breaking cannons gathered at the south gate. This area will be the main attack direction of the Chu army.
On the top of the city, thousands of Qin troops were already trembling and panicked. Even Wu Zhi, who was in charge of the command, had cold sweat rolling down his forehead and a look of fear on his face.
At this time, hurried footsteps sounded, and Cao Pi, wearing heavy armor, climbed up to the top of the city in a panic.
The arrival of the emperor did not arouse the fighting spirit of the Qin army. Cao Pi's panic even further dampened his soldiers.
Cao Pi looked outside the city and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
A few hundred steps away, the densely packed heads and the forest of knives and halberds reflecting the cold light came into view, piercing Cao Pi's fragile nerves like knives.
Cao Pi's feet gave way and he fell backwards, almost losing his balance.
Zhu Shuo took a few steps forward, hurriedly supported Cao Pi, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you must hold still. The soldiers are all watching your Majesty."
The morale of the Qin army was extremely low. If Cao Pi was intimidated by the Chu army again and fell to the ground on the spot, the morale of the Qin army would collapse faster. This battle would be even less suspenseful.
Cao Pi was awakened by Zhu Shuo's words. He took a deep breath and reluctantly straightened his back, trying to build up some momentum.
Cao Pi came to the top of the city, drew his sword in his hand, and said sternly: "Soldiers of Great Qin, for your wives and children, for the sake of the country of Great Qin, and for your dignity, guard the top of the city for me. Never take a step back!"
"Hold the city wall and never retreat!" Zhu Shuo waved his fist in response to Cao Pi.
It's a pity that the tsunami-like roar from Zhongshan did not appear. The response to Cao Pi was just a few sporadic generosity with insufficient confidence.
Cao Cao felt even weaker in his heart.
At this time, on the front line in front of the city, the Chu army's city-breaking cannons were already in place, and each of the city-breaking cannons was loaded with huge stone bullets.
Yan Liang looked coldly at the enemy city, raised his whip and shouted: "Bang the drum, three times, let me level the enemy city!"
The decree was passed down, and the sound of war drums shook the heavens and earth, roaring like thunder.
Cao Pi's heartbeat began to intensify with the sound of the drum war. He knew that when the three-way drum beat, he would face the most terrifying attack in the world.
The rain of rocks that filled the sky was like a doomsday horror scene that Cao Pi would never forget in his life.
At this moment, Cao Pi's remaining will immediately collapsed.
"Zhu Aiqing, you and Wu Aiqing will fight the enemy here while I go and mobilize more troops for you." Cao Pi said in a trembling voice, and turned around to go down to the city.
Zhu Shuo was shocked and eagerly grabbed Cao Pi: "Your Majesty, the enemy is here. If Your Majesty leaves the city, where will the morale of the soldiers be?"
Cao Pi's expression changed, and for a moment he seemed to be persuaded by Zhu Shuo.
Outside the city, the two-ring drums have finished ringing, and the three-ring drums have started ringing. According to tradition, when the three-ring drums fall, the attack will begin.
Cao Pi's heart was in his throat, and the little fighting spirit he had just regained was shattered by the high-pitched drum beat in the blink of an eye.
"Let me go, I know what to do, I don't need you to teach me!"
Cao Pi struggled to break free from Zhu Shuo's restraints, took three steps and two steps at a time, and hurriedly escaped down the city.
Zhu Shuo looked at Cao Pi's leaving figure and sighed deeply. The Qin soldiers on the left and right saw their emperor fleeing in front of the battle, and they were all panicked and their hearts were turbulent.
At this moment, outside the city, the Chu army's three-way drums had stopped beating, and the sound of the drums suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the sky collapsing and the earth cracking followed, more than two hundred city-breaking cannons were launched at the same time, and countless boulders rose into the sky, roaring towards the head of Guzang City like a shower of falling meteors.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of collapse rose into the sky, and the whole earth seemed to be shaking.
Along the line of the city, towers collapsed, stone debris flew everywhere, and dust and mist filled the sky, blocking out the sun.
The frightened Qin soldiers huddled under the parapet one by one, trying to escape the rain of stones. Unfortunately, the fragile parapet could not withstand the impact of the huge stone bullets.
Under the impact of the boulders, the female wall was easily destroyed like a fragile glass wall, while the soldiers of the Qin army who were hiding underneath were mercilessly smashed to pieces by the falling boulders.
The screams of the Qin army came and went, but they were drowned in the loud noise of the earth shattering that day.
Yan Liang raised his head and looked into the distance, staring coldly at this overwhelming bombardment of the city.
Half an hour later, the hellish bombardment finally ended, the roar gradually subsided, and the dust and mist gradually fell from the sky.
When the dust settled, Guzang City took on a new look.
The strength of this city was far inferior to that of Luoyang and Chang'an. At this moment, it was like a wounded man, lying there weakly and gasping for breath.
Along the city's front line, the city is completely in ruins. There is no complete city wall. There is a large collapsed area on the east and west wings of the city gate, and there are countless other damaged areas.
On the top of the city, the remaining Qin army was in shock. Countless people died, and the injured either had broken legs or arms. It was terrible to see.
This last Qin army deeply experienced a hellish attack.
Outside the city, the soldiers of the Chu army were boiling with passion, their murderous intent burning wildly, their hands clenching their weapons rattling, and they couldn't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Yan Liang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, he raised his whip and pointed at the enemy city, shouting in a thunderous voice: "Attack the whole army to the city, wipe out Guzang and kill all the enemy invaders!"
The roar of "kill" that broke the sky arose.
The rumbling sound of the war drums was raised again, and hunting flags were fluttered out of the formation like rays of light.
Huang Zhong, Zhu Huan, Li Yan, Zhang Ren and other senior generals each led their own troops and horses and came out in full force. On the spacious position, tens of thousands of Chu soldiers rushed towards the badly damaged enemy city like a tide.
When the Qin army on the city just woke up from the shock of the shelling, they raised their heads and shook the ashes from their faces. They were horrified to see that densely packed Chu troops had swarmed onto the city.
Liver and gallbladder split!
The remaining Qin army collapsed instantly and did not dare to resist at all, so they turned around and fled towards the city.
"The emperor has an order. You are not allowed to take a step back. I will hold you back~~"
The wounded Wu Zhi wielded his sword and shouted, killing several deserters, but he could not stop the soldiers' rout.
Wu Zhi was roaring in fright, and his eyes were suddenly blocked by a body like an iron tower. Wu Zhi raised his head and looked up in surprise, only to see a veteran with white hair and beard standing on the damaged parapet.
That veteran was none other than Huang Zhong, the most adept at attacking tough situations in Chu State.
"Thieves who stubbornly resist the power of God, accept your orders!" Huang Zhong shouted violently, and slashed down from top to bottom with the long knife in his hand.
Wu Zhi screamed, and Nuo Da's body was split into two pieces diagonally by Huang Zhong, killing him on the spot.
Behind Huang Zhong, countless Chu troops rushed to the top of the city, ruthlessly slaughtering the fleeing enemy soldiers with swords and guns.
On the western front line, the Chu army made a comprehensive breakthrough.
On the east line, Li Yan has also commanded his warriors and planted the banner of Dachu high on the top of Guzang's city.
When Qin general Zhu Shuo saw this, he led more than a hundred troops to block him and tried to drive Li Yan off the city wall.
Li Yanque's ape-like arms danced like the wind, and he directed his long sword to kill the enemies in his way. After several frantic killings, the Qin army was scattered.
When Zhu Shuo saw that Li Yan was so unstoppable, he was frightened and did not dare to fight anymore. He turned around and fled into the city.
How could Li Yan allow him to escape? He took a few steps forward, kicked off his feet vigorously, flew up, and swept away with the long knife in his hand.
Zhu Shuo suddenly heard the sound of wind behind him, and before he could use his sword to block it, Li Yan's blade was already coming like lightning.
puff!
There was a muffled sound and blood spattered as Zhu Shuo's head flew down from the top of the city.
Li Yan landed on the ground and kicked the decapitated corpse away, moved his knife forward, and continued to kill into the city.
When the Chu army on the south gate broke through all fronts, the Chu army on the other three gates also launched an attack at the same time.
The morale of the Qin army collapsed, and its troops were weak. They had no generals, no fighting spirit, and no fighting spirit. How could they withstand the mad attack of 80,000 Chu troops.
In an instant, all the gates of Guzang were breached, and thousands of Chu troops poured into the city, rushing towards the palace in the center of the city from all directions.
At this moment, Cao Pi had fled all the way back to the palace.
When the first round of the Chu army's city-breaking artillery attack was launched, Cao Pi was deeply shocked by the terrifying attack.
At that moment, Cao Pi seemed to have lost his mind and fled towards the palace desperately. He just wanted to escape as far as possible, fearing that he would be blown to pieces by a stone bullet.
Cao Pi, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, ran all the way back to the palace. He didn't even know where his helmet was left on the way, and ran straight back to his palace.
At this time, Guo Huan was still pacing the palace, anxiously waiting for news about this defensive battle.
Guo Huan heard the roar of the cannons and knew that the Chu army must be destroying the city and bombarding the city. She was about to send people to find out the news about the city. Before they were dispatched, Cao Pi ran into the palace in fear.
"Your Majesty is not supervising the battle at the top of the city, why did you come back so soon?" Guo Huan asked in shock, and then stepped forward to help.
Cao Pi pushed Guo Huan away, rushed to the side of the table, picked up the kettle on it, and drank it in large gulps.
As the water entered his throat, Cao Pi's dry and hoarse throat finally soothed a little, and his out-of-control emotions gradually calmed down a bit.
By this time, the sound of the shelling had long since disappeared, replaced by the deafening shouts of killing, and the shouts of killing from all directions were approaching towards his palace.
Cao Pi's face turned livid, the kettle in his hand fell from his hand, and he fell down on the dragon throne as if he was exhausted.
"It's over, Da Qin is over, the Cao family is over, I'm done, everything is over~~" (To be continued...)
