The Qin Dynasty opened the Hengqu Four Sentences, sweeping away all the schools of thought
Chapter 184 Attack and Defense
Under the bombardment of the stone cannon, the morale of the Korean soldiers guarding Nanyang City fell to the bottom. Many of them even shouted that this was a natural disaster that could not be resisted by human power, and they abandoned the city and fled.
Seeing that they were about to be defeated, Wei Zhuang led the soldiers who had not yet climbed onto the city wall and killed hundreds of the fleeing soldiers. Only then did they calm down.
"Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" Wei Zhuang's eyes were as cold as a knife, and the shark-toothed sword in his hand was dripping with blood, like a deadly sickle. After realizing how terrible it was, the defeated soldiers turned around and killed the Qin soldiers on the top of the city.
shhhhhh!
The Han soldiers who climbed to the top of the city wall for the first time were all stunned when they saw the tragic scene, but this did not prevent them from shooting crossbows.
Arrows rained down like raindrops, logs and rocks kept falling, scalding gold juice, burning kerosene, almost everything that could effectively stop the Qin army's advance was used.
Under Wei Zhuang's organization, the Han soldiers actually resisted the Qin army's offensive for a while.
The Qin soldiers who climbed up the city wall were also killed by Wei Zhuang like killing chickens and cutting vegetables.
Later, the Qin soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall with ladders were all knocked down by the Han soldiers with battering rams, and some were stabbed to death with pitchforks.
Seeing that the situation was improving, Bai Yifei immediately ordered the White Armor Army to join the battle, because even if it was just acting, they couldn't go too far.
On the other hand, if the Qin army captured Nanyang City within a day, where would the White Armor Army put its face?
He knows deeply that other people's attitude towards you depends on your strength. Only with sufficient strength can you gain enough weight and voice.
He could turn against his own side and stab Wei Zhuang in the back, but not at this moment.
As the saying goes, the first attack is of great strength, the second is weaker and the third is exhausted. After seeing that three consecutive attempts to climb the city wall failed, Su Xuan gave the order to call off his troops.
This was only the first day and he was in no hurry at all.
After the Qin soldiers retreated to a safe area, he placed the giant stone cannons again and arranged shieldmen to provide layers of protection. Then they only needed to do one thing, which was to bombard the Han soldiers with the giant stone cannon shells, causing them to lose their morale and have no desire to fight again.
The fighting lasted from morning to afternoon, and only stopped slightly in the evening.
On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river. The setting sun seemed to turn blood red at this moment.
The casualties of the Qin army were about one thousand, while the casualties of the Han army, Su Xuan estimated, were about eighty to ninety thousand or ten thousand, looking at the mountains of corpses.
If this kind of battle happens two or three more times, let alone a few times, the Korean soldiers will suffer a major defeat. Even if someone points a knife at them and forces them to go to the battlefield, they probably won't obey the order.
Because the Korean soldiers who witnessed the tragic situation knew that this was a complete meat grinder. If they swung their swords at their own people, they might still have a chance of survival, but if they fought against the Qin army, they would be smashed into meat paste. Who could bear this?
In just half a day, the morale of the Korean soldiers defending the city was completely broken.
"What are the casualties?" Wei Zhuang wiped the blood off his face and asked in a deep voice.
"The damage is nearly 10,000." Tang Qi sighed heavily, "The situation is not optimistic."
"The Qin army's casualties are estimated to be less than a thousand. If they come a few more times, Nanyang City will probably fall without a fight." Tang Qi frowned, "Their weapons are too lethal. We must find a way to restrain them. I suspect that someone from Gongshu's family may be involved."
"Mohist?" Wei Zhuang understood instantly. If the Mohist School could come forward, they might be able to create counter-weapons or weapons with the same lethality.
"Boss Wei, have you noticed a problem?" Tang Qi looked at Wei Zhuang. "It's not just the cannonball carts. Many of the weapons the Qin army has are more advanced than ours. Their bows and arrows have a longer range than ours, and their crossbows can fire more than one arrow at a time. The reason why we suffered heavy losses, in addition to the bravery of the Qin army, these weapons probably account for most of the credit."
Wei Zhuang's face darkened when he thought of the terrifying power of the stone cannon.
In just one day, the morale of his soldiers dropped to freezing point. If they continued to hold on, the army would probably collapse.
He must take the initiative to look for opportunities to win a victory to boost morale.
At this moment, one of Tang Qi's confidants came in and whispered a few words in his ear. After that, he handed a letter to Tang Qi.
Tang Qi's expression changed instantly, and his eyes became more solemn than ever before.
"Now there is a more important matter that we need to deal with. Bai Yifei is meeting with Su Xuan in secret and may turn against us at any time." As he said this, he handed the secret letter to Wei Zhuang.
The so-called secret letter, what was written on it, was what Su Xuan wrote to Bai Yifei, but he deliberately let Wei Zhuang know one of the copies. His purpose was naturally to alienate the two of them and make it impossible for Bai Yifei to turn back.
After reading the secret letter, Wei Zhuang frowned and asked, "How credible do you think what is written in the letter is?"
"I think this is most likely true." Tang Qi looked worried. "The fact that we know this is probably because that person deliberately let us know."
This is a blatant plot to sow discord!
"We should be wary of Bai Yifei. He is not on the same page with us." Wei Zhuang said expressionlessly, but he sighed in his heart. The time left for him and Han Fei was too short after all. If they could integrate the whole of Korea, they might have a chance to overcome this difficulty.
He then shook his head again. It was the enemy they were facing that didn't give them any chance.
Su Xuan......
He murmured softly, feeling complicated and indescribable.
On the day Su Xuan left South Korea, he knew that they would one day become rivals, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon, and he never thought that he would be completely powerless in front of him.
He couldn't help but think of the time when they were friends. The one who suffered was their opponent, but today, it was his turn.
Recalling today's battle, he felt that Su Xuan had not even used his full strength. If he really wanted to capture Nanyang, he only needed to send Hei Bai Xuan Jian and a few first-class killers to stop himself and Bai Yifei. The Qin army would be able to climb the city wall continuously, and in that case, Nanyang City would be broken!
War, after all, is a competition between the national strength of two countries, and the gap between the national strength of Qin and Han is still too great.
As the commander-in-chief and a top wise man, Wei Zhuang really didn't know how to win this battle.
"Send someone to tell the Ninth Prince about the battle situation here, and send another person to ask for help from the State of Wei." Wei Zhuang made a quick decision.
He felt exhausted on just the first day. How long he could hold on depended entirely on fate.
At the same time, Bai Yifei also knew what happened in Wei Zhuang. He was not surprised, nor did he think that Wei Zhuang would take the initiative to start a war with him.
Internal strife is only a way to self-destruction.
Besides, he had tens of thousands of elite White-Armored Soldiers, so it was still unclear whether Wei Zhuang could defeat them.
He believed that Wei Zhuang would maintain a tacit understanding with him, and as long as he did not rebel, they would not resort to violence even if there were more frictions.
Did he finally compromise with reality? Bai Yifei picked up the wine and shook his head.
He still prefers the previous Wei Zhuang.
The Wei Zhuang in the past did not have so many scruples, and he would definitely draw his sword against him.
Bai Yifei felt that having a blood-boiling fight was actually quite good. At least it could slightly raise the temperature of the cold blood in his body.
He took a sip of the wine, his lips turned scarlet, his eyes emitting a seductive light, and he licked his lips gently, feeling inexplicably excited.
He longed for a hearty fight.
