Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 280 The Absolute Suppression of the Equipment Battalion ([-]rd)

"The old minister thought it was Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu!" General Long Du bowed solemnly: "Ordinary people don't have such sharp fighting power!"

"Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu!" The prestige of Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu is still in my ears, Wei Wangbao: "General, what should we do next?"

"Your Majesty, there are [-] troops in Pingyang City. At the critical moment, the young and strong Chinese in the city are organized to defend the city. In addition, our country has prepared enough food and grass in advance, so it is enough to last for ten months."

Speaking of this, General Long Du continued, saying: "During this time, it is enough for the main forces, Shangdang, and Taiyuan's three forces to come back to rescue Hedong."

"At the same time, the envoys sent out will also bring us comfort. Overlord Xiang Yu of Western Chu, King Xie of Zhao, King Tianrong of Qi, and even Sima Mao, King of Yin, and Wang Shenyang of Henan, will not just watch Wei being destroyed."

……

Originally, it was impossible to station the main force in any capital city.The so-called city defense refers to fortresses and garrisons outside the city.

The garrison in the city can only deal with small attacks, and its main function is to prevent internal turmoil.The mutual support of the army outside the city and the garrison inside the city is a comprehensive defense.

Starting from this military rule, Longdu deploys [-] troops outside the city, which is the right way for military strategists and a real city defense force.

But Longdu never expected that Qin Jundong would appear outside Pingyang City without anyone noticing.

Moreover, the elite cavalry of the Qin army were too powerful, and the [-] Wei army was divided and defeated overnight.The Qin army experienced continuous battles, and its combat power was not inferior to that of the first emperor.

The [-] troops stationed outside the city were defeated overnight.The [-] troops in the city are isolated and helpless, completely losing the momentum of mutual horns.

As a result, the situation in the Qin and Wei Dynasties changed drastically. The Fen River on both sides of the northeast of Pingyang City now blocks the road to breakout and the road to rescue.

The three avenues on both sides of the southwest were also blocked, and the main force of the Qin army had not yet appeared, so they must have ambushed in one place. Even if the army can break out of the encirclement at this time, it is obviously a self-inflicted trap.

Long Du knew in his heart that for the present plan, he could only rely on Pingyang's city walls and sufficient food and grass in the city, and fight to the death.

As long as you persist until Daliang, Shangdang, Taiyuan, and the three armies come back for help.With the support of Xichu and Qi Zhao's army, even in a dangerous situation, it can be resolved overnight.

In a world of great contention, absolute strength is the capital for domineering.Under the general trend, whoever has absolute strength will have the power to turn decay into magic.

……

"rumble--!"

At this moment, on the avenue in front of Pingyang City, a black torrent was advancing rapidly, which became clearer to Wei Wangbao and others.

Before the black torrent, a large flag was waving in the wind, and a large golden word "Win" could be vaguely seen.

"win?"

Seeing this word, Longdu, Wei Wangbao, Wei Yue and others were shocked.The chief general of the Qin army was not Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, but Hu Hai, Emperor Qin.

They all know that this flag is the handsome flag.In the whole world, there is only one person who uses the word Ying as a banner, and that is Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire.

……

"end--"

Following Hu Hai's order, the [-] Qin army stopped instantly, and rushed to the opposite side with a fierce momentum.Naturally, Hu Hai would not give Wei Guo a chance to breathe.

Now that the army has arrived at the foot of Pingyang City, standing on the chariot, Emperor Qin Yingfei asked Tian Wen with one move, shouted, and said: "Decree: [-] strong bows and crossbows cover, [-] infantry rush to the city with all their strength, fill the protection City mud ditch."

"Yes!"

The Sima of the Chinese army raised his arms and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order: [-] strong bows and crossbows cover it, and [-] infantry rush to the bottom of the city with all their strength to fill up the mud ditch in the moat."

In an instant, Qin Jun was dispatched.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai knew that although the moat was cut off, it was still a big muddy ditch more than two feet deep and three feet wide, and the ladder could not be advanced, which was the biggest obstacle to a comprehensive siege.

Only by filling the moat can the ladder be promoted and the advantage of the Qin Empire's sophisticated equipment be exerted.

Watching the advance of the Qin Army Equipment Battalion and the [-] infantry, Qin Emperor Hu Hai categorically ordered: "Decree: The [-] infantry are divided into three echelons, and they will be rotated every half an hour."

"Yes!"

The Sima of the Chinese army lowered the order flag again, and shouted at the same time: "Your Majesty has an order: [-] infantry are divided into three echelons, and they will be rotated every half an hour."

At the same time, the messengers who had been waiting for a long time flew out of the Qin army's formation, rushed towards the advancing Qin army, and conveyed Hu Hai's order.

At this time, Qin Emperor Ying Fei has been observing the distance the army has advanced.A quarter of an hour later, Qin Emperor Hu Hai swung his sword and said, "Kill——!"

The order flag on the bronze cart changed for the first time. Seeing the change of the order flag, the commander of the Equipment Battalion pointed forward with his long sword: "The army is divided into three echelons, suppress the Wei army, kill——!"

"Shhhhh-"

Following the commander's order, arrows poured out like crazy, covering the city of Pingyang. The arrows shone with icy cold light under the sun, and an astonishing murderous aura shot up into the sky.

Looking at the overwhelming arrows sweeping towards the sky with endless murderous intentions, Longdu shouted, "Archers dodge, roll stones and roll logs to prepare—"

"only--"

With an order, the defenders at the head of Pingyang city changed.Although General Longdu is a novice, he is still able to deal with such a small situation with ease.

He knew that under the pressure of the Qin army's arrows, he must be preparing for the siege of the city.

Especially now that he is above the arrow tower, he can clearly see the Qin army below the city.All the dragons knew that the Qin army was going to fill up the moat and prepare for the siege.

Observing this, Long Du decisively ordered: "The army is divided into three echelons, mainly archers, rolling stones and rolling logs, listen to my orders—"

He knew that throwing down the rock and rolling the log was equivalent to doing Qin Jun a great favor.Unless the Qin army can be killed, it is most important for archers to kill the enemy.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flashed brightly, and he waved his left hand: "Beat the drums, cheer for the army—!"

"Yes!" Nodding in agreement, Zhongjun Sima waved at the drummer.

"Boom boom boom——"

The overwhelming sound of war drums rang out, sweeping across the entire battlefield in just a few moments.Amidst the thunderous battle drums, the Qin crossbows of the Equipment Battalion showed great power, and the feather arrows as dense as a shower blocked every crenel of the female wall.

For a while, the suppressed Wei Jun couldn't raise his head at all, and the archers didn't dare to show their heads at all. As long as they raised their heads, they would be shot, so that the archers were useless.

Seeing this scene, Longdu yelled angrily: "Roll wood and stone, kill—!"

Even if it was Longdu's order, under the dense arrows of the Qin army, only the rolling logs and stones that were occasionally pushed down rumbled down.

In addition to injuring a dozen soldiers of the Qin army, these stones and rolling logs rolled into the moat to fill the ditch for the Qin army.

……

At the same time, the Qin army infantrymen were armed with a large iron shovel and swooped on the side of the ditch to shovel soil and fill the ditch.
