Chapter 526 Something is wrong, why did the Qin army choose to attack at night?
It's getting dark.
Before the sunset in the sky dissipates, the torches on the ground light up. There must be something bright in the sky and on the ground.
The two hundred steps in front of Linji City can no longer find the black and yellow soil, and it has turned into a bare field.
Qin Feng's singing voice is still loud and clear.
The vanguard general Li Xin's 20,000 men were divided into groups of 2,000, and ten groups took turns to attack the city, ensuring their physical strength and willpower, and the intensity of the siege would not decrease for a long time.
The Wei army on the top of the city remained silent, and they could only hear the sounds of the messengers running around delivering military orders.
Being in a double row with Linji City, they had a huge inherent advantage and only changed manpower three times in two hours.
In such a high-intensity city defense battle, the Wei army had only one thought in mind during the battle - defend Linji! Kill these Qin dogs!
Zhou Shi, covered in blood, stood on the top of the city, looking at the Qin dogs gradually blurring outside the city.
The morale of the Wei army did not drop, and the fact that they could defend themselves so well despite the high-intensity onslaught of the Qin army had a lot to do with the personal visit of their general.
With the general standing here, they have confidence in their hearts. With the general here, this battle will not be lost.
The bunt man who was three steps away from Zhou Shi's clothes was smelly and smelly of gold juice and flint, but he was unexpectedly clean.
The offensive and defensive battle lasted for two hours, and he just stood here and watched.
Watch the Qin army's offensive, watch the Wei army's response, and remember everything you see.
Compared with other people who were covered in blood, including the general Zhou Shi, the bunt man seemed like an outsider.
The only injury on his body was the sword mark left on his neck with a two-foot sword by Zhou Shi's soldiers. It was hard to see in the darkening sky...
"Boy, have you seen enough?"
After two hours of giving out orders, eighteen messengers took over. Zhou Shi's voice was a little hoarse. His face was covered with a shadow as the sun set over the mountains.
"Have you thought about what to say when you get back?"
The short-beating man clasped his fists, lowered his head slightly, and saluted, paying respect to Zhou Shi, whose color had dimmed.
The performance of the Qin army was only slightly beyond the expectations of the bunt man. The reputation of this tiger and wolf army has been circulated for a long time, and what we saw today was even better than the rumors.
However, Zhou Shi, who was able to defend Linji with such an elite Qin army but was prevented from entering the city, was completely impressed by the bunt man.
This proud Chu man lowered his noble head and was willing to do so.
"On the day when the general is here, Chu and Wei are allied. I will report back to my king right away. Reinforcements will arrive soon!"
There was no joy on Zhou Shi's face.
"How long will it take soon?"
"this……"
The bunt man showed a hint of embarrassment and looked at Zhou Shi from the corner of his eye.
"The villain is of low status and power, and dare not make any promises."
There was no anger on Zhou Shi's face. He always looked cold and spoke calmly. It seemed that the place he was in was not a battlefield, but the Wei Dynasty court.
"Qin is not only the enemy of Wei, but also the enemy of Chu. Before chasing a deer, you must first cut off the head of the deer owner and release the deer."
The Wei general, surrounded by his own soldiers, walked up to the bunt man, patted the bunt man on the shoulder, and left two overlapping black, red and yellow handprints.
"Wei has only one, but Chu has two. In three days, I, the general, will greet the envoys of Zhang and Chu here."
The bunt man looked obviously sad, and his words were also cold.
"I will convey the general's words verbatim and report them to my king truthfully."
After the restoration of the Chu Kingdom, Xiong Xin, a descendant of the royal family, became king, and Xiang Liang was appointed as Ling Yin and the Dazhu Kingdom.
In the state of Chu, Yin was equal to the prime minister, and in the state of Dazhu, he was equal to the general.
The current situation of the Chu State that was restored by Yun Mengze is a bit delicate, because before that, Chen Sheng created a country called Zhang Chu, which means Zhang Da Chu State.
Because he started the rebellion early, he won over many Chu people and took away at least half of Chu's strength.
If it weren't for Xiong Xin, the orthodox king with the royal blood of the Chu Kingdom, and if Xiang Liang, a descendant of Xiang Yan, hadn't won over almost all the old nobles of the Chu Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom's nobles would have looked down on Chen Sheng, a former employee, from the beginning.
A low-class person who weeds and cultivates land for others.
With Zhang Chu in front of him, it would be difficult for Chu to recover.
Chen Sheng was born into an aristocratic family. With the knowledge of the nobles, he initially used his status as a commoner to instigate a peasant uprising and founded Zhang Chu.
In the end, it was because of his status as a commoner that he could not be accepted by the nobles of Chu State. Li Daitao was really dead, and he hollowed out the foundation of Chu State and strengthened Zhang Chu.
Time is also fate.
Chu State, Zhang Chu.
There is no war yet, but sooner or later there will be one.
Rumble~
The train that had stopped for half an hour sounded again, and meteors streaked across the sky.
Zhou Shi looked outside the city, and the Qin army was already blurry. He could only see a dark patch, like ants.
The Qin Feng that said "How can I say without clothes" was still loud, and the smell of blood was so strong that even the flint and gunpowder smoke of the carriage could not cover it up.
There was no need for him to give any more orders. Wei Jun, who had long been used to it, skillfully pushed down the ladder and no longer evaded like the first time.
While they were throwing stones and shooting arrows, they concentrated on looking at the flint in the sky.
Flint is scary, but as long as it doesn't hit you, it's like an arrow that missed, and it's useless.
As long as they pay a little attention, it won't be a big deal.
Such a large burning stone is much more conspicuous in the dark night than during the day, and it is much easier to hide.
The torch was lit, and the fire snake licked Zhou Shi's face, which flickered on and off.
Clinging to the top of the city, listening to the unabated Qin Feng in his ears, he furrowed his thick eyebrows.
"Something's wrong. Why did the Qin army choose to attack at night? Who was leading the army? How could they make such a stupid mistake!"
Siege a city at night, and if you are well prepared, the difficulty of the siege will increase exponentially.
There have been so many nighttime attacks on and destruction of cities in history. Most of them were taken by surprise, taking advantage of the fact that the defenders did not organize enough troops to capture the city in one go.
In Linji now, both the offensive and defensive sides are well prepared. Apart from continuously creating pressure, Zhou Shi can't think of any benefits in attacking the city at night.
Linji City is three feet high, and only a handful of people can climb it with bare hands. The Wei soldiers only need to stand at the top of the city and push up the ladders, shoot arrows and throw rocks at the sound, but the Qin army has to fight in the dark.
While I was thinking about it, the singing suddenly got louder.
Originally it was only available in the west, but now it is also available in the north and south directions.
Zhou Shi issued an urgent order to reserve the Wei army and quickly reinforce the north and south city walls. Then he stared at the dark ant colony outside the city and sneered:
"Surrounding three buildings and fighting at night to expose your position by singing loudly. Are you really stupid? You still want to fight for a long time to weaken the fighting spirit of our Wei army. I'm really curious about you."
The fighting continues without stopping.
Zhou Shi has been standing at the top of the city watching, he doesn't plan to sleep tonight, he is worried.
The bunt man didn't leave either. He didn't believe that a Qin general who started from the bottom would make such a childish mistake.
Half an hour later, Zhou Shi's eyes lit up, and his somewhat bent body stood up straight unconsciously.
Upon seeing this, the bunt man immediately approached the city wall.
A thousand steps away from the city, there was a huge black bird lying on the ground, its beak facing Linji.
The black bird is burning brightly and is extremely conspicuous under the dark night sky.
