Chapter 19 The Astonishing Death Rate

When he was in Xianyang, Zhao Shu came up with the idea that the sky is high and birds can fly, and his future will become better from now on.

Of course, the premise is that he survives.

Following the team transporting grain and grass, Zhao Shu set foot on the battlefield. Half a month later, he arrived from Xianyang to the outside of Wu'an City.

Li Si's words only allowed him to join the army, but Yang Duanhe did not see Zhao Shu, but was sent to the Death Soldier Camp.

After receiving the long sword, Zhao Shu stared at the huge city wall in a daze, and had some special feelings in his heart. It all depends on his luck whether the bones of princes will be buried in the battlefield for generations.

"Young people, don't be afraid!"

The strong man patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder and looked at Wu'an City not far away: "Wealth and honor are found in danger. Our dead soldier camp is the army that is most likely to die, and it is also the army that is most likely to achieve military exploits."

"As long as you are the first to climb the Wu'an city wall, you will be awarded a title. If you can kill the enemy, even better."

"Thank you for the advice, brother!" At this moment, Zhao Shu had a desire in his eyes. He wanted to make great achievements, and he wanted to win the title of prince for generations to come.

"Brother Ku, don't you guys need to train?" Zhao Shu looked at the resting soldiers and asked in confusion.

"Save up your strength to seize the city. At this time, what's the point of training!" Qing Zhuang named Ku smiled and shook his head.

Although they were dead soldiers, they were not all criminals who violated Qin's laws. Some of them were old Qin people who were eager to make meritorious deeds.

Zhao Shu was bitterly brought into the military camp, where he chatted and beat up with the soldiers every day, and then trained to cooperate with each other tacitly.

They were a dead soldier camp, and they had too little training. The most they trained was how to kill the opponent and how to climb the city wall.

Three days later.

Yang Duanhe gave an order, and 150,000 troops gathered and lined up towards Wu'an City. According to the deployment of General Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe's main purpose was to cut off the army in the hinterland of Zhao State and the army at Jingxing Pass.

To accomplish this, Wu'an must be conquered. As the military order was issued, Zhao Shu appeared among the army. Now the catapults were waiting in full formation, and the crossbowmen were preparing arrow formations.

At the same time, the siege vehicles were also ready. The cloud chariot was pushed forward, and behind the cloud chariot was their dead soldier camp.

Military orders were issued one after another, the soldiers were running, the catapults were launched, rocks were piercing the air, just like the waves crashing on the shore, and arrows were sweeping across Wu'an.

In this case, the cloud chariot advances and the siege chariot continues to advance.

"The general has an order: advance the cloud chariot, and follow the battalion of dead soldiers, and be ready to seize the city at any time!" The messenger sent the message, which made Zhao Shu's heart tighten. This military order was related to him.

Holding long swords in their hands, under the protection of shield soldiers, the dead soldier battalion followed the cloud chariot. At this moment, the battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, and the Zhao army in Wu'an City counterattacked frantically.

The archers shot dead soldiers who approached.

The cloud chariot approached the city wall, the ladder was put up, and the people of the Dead Soldiers Battalion began to seize the city. At this time, Zhao Jun's rocks, rolling wood, and fire oil came down from above, and the soldiers of the Dead Soldiers Battalion screamed and fell down one by one.

Zhao Shu bit his long sword and kept climbing up. He was constantly calculating in his mind the time when Zhao Jun would throw down rocks, logs and fire oil, and then evaded in advance.

After a while, Zhao Shu had climbed up the city wall, slashed out the long sword in his hand, and killed the soldiers who threw rocks and logs. When he was about to jump up and climb the city wall, he was shot into his left arm by an arrow from mid-air.

come down.

The whole person fell from mid-air, Zhao Shu's scalp went numb, and he knew in his heart that if he fell like this, he would definitely turn into a puddle of flesh.

With a flash of lightning in his mind, Zhao Shu slashed out with his long sword and cut off one side of the ladder. Under the resistance, his whole descent speed stopped. He grabbed the other side of the ladder and quickly slid down.

He was now injured and was not suitable to continue the attack. However, after the military order was issued, Zhao Shu could only wrap the wound with a piece of cloth and continue to climb the city with his sword.

"kill!"

Zhao Shu climbed up again and swung his sword to kill the soldiers in front of him. Just as he was about to climb into the city wall, he saw a long sword stabbing him.

Avoiding the long sword, the ladder shifted to the right due to the force, and the long sword in Zhao Shu's hand pierced the enemy's heart like lightning.

Unfortunately, under the force, Zhao Shu and the ladder fell down one after another, and rocks and trees roared in. The Qin army's dead soldier camp suffered heavy casualties.

Similarly, under the catapults of the Qin army, the Wu'an city wall was seriously damaged. Da Qin's arrow array killed them, and Zhao's soldiers fell from the city wall.

This battle allowed Zhao Shu to fully see the astonishing fatality rate on the cold weapon battlefield. This was the Qin army that was number one in the world, but so many people still died. This shows how cruel this war was.

Zhao Shu attacked three times and killed six people, but because the remaining dead soldiers did not rush forward, they had to fall into the sand every time.

On the command chariot, Yang Duanhe looked solemn and gave the order decisively: "Send the troops back with gold, collect the disabled soldiers, and let the military doctors treat them immediately."

"promise."

Wu'an City is a fortified city. It is difficult to conquer in a short period of time with such intensity. Today's battle is just to consume the strength of Wu'an City's defenders.

"General, our casualties in this battle are mainly concentrated in the Death Soldier Battalion, and the enemy's troops are mainly elite soldiers. However, the large-scale casualties in the Death Soldier Battalion are not good for the morale of the army."

Glancing at Xin Sheng, Yang Duanhe also nodded. He knew in his heart that the shogunate must make a statement on this.

Otherwise, before the city of Wu'an is broken, the morale of the army will be in chaos.

"Xin Sheng, in today's battle, are there any outstanding people in the dead soldiers camp? Who are the three people who almost climbed up the city wall?"

As the commander-in-chief, Yang Duanhe was in the center of the army, with eyes on all directions and ears on all directions. He only took a glance at the Death Soldier Camp during the process, so he didn't remember it clearly.

"General, this can only be confirmed after the Death Soldier Battalion is withdrawn and the army cleans the battlefield!" Xin Sheng also wanted to know. He knew in his heart the importance of conquering Wu'an.

Neither Handan City nor Jingxing Pass is easy to break. Above Jingxing Pass, there is Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of Zhao State, and even Zhao Bianqi, the elite of Zhao State.

Although they all believed in Wang Jian's ability and knew the combat power of the Qin army in Lantian Camp, it was almost impossible for Wang Jian to break through Jingxing Pass in a short time.

And judging from the news they both received, Wang Jian did not plan to attack Jingxing Pass by force. Instead, he waited.

As for the direction of Handan, there has been no news yet, but they all know that the difficulty of conquering Handan City is far higher than that of Wu'an.

After all, Handan is the capital of the Zhao Kingdom. The city has strong walls and thick walls. It is guarded by a large army from the hinterland of the Zhao Kingdom, and Lian Po is also there.

You must know that Lian Po is the most famous general in the Zhao Kingdom who is best at guarding the city.

Yang Duanhe glanced at Xin Sheng, and he understood that the key point in this battle to destroy Zhao lay with them.

Only by conquering Wu'an can we cut off Zhao in the middle, support General Wang Jian at the top, and encircle Handan at the bottom.
