Chapter 589 If Three Thousand Tigers Are Still Still Alive
"The most elite shield soldiers of the Qin Army are behind these churras. Once we open the city gate, these shield soldiers will rush to the front and protect the churras." Bao Luan said helplessly.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, it’s that he really can’t do it!
Others might try even though they know it's impossible.
But Bao Luan is different. Growing up, he followed his father to fight the Qin army fifty times if not a hundred times. How can he not understand the Qin army's combat mode?
Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Korean army was not as good as that of the Qin army, not to mention that the Qin army was overwhelmed in numbers.
Even if thousands of Korean troops were buried outside the city, they would not be able to break through the Qin army's defense line, let alone destroy the chariots.
"If these chrysanthemums are not destroyed, the Qin army will be able to fill up the moat in at most half a month." Zhou Jiang said in a deep voice. If the moat is gone, half of the royal city will be captured.
"Even if there is no moat, we can still rely on the city wall for defense." Bao Luan said.
If we want to say who wants to defeat the Qin army the most, apart from the Western Zhou Dynasty, it must be South Korea.
After all, most of South Korea's Sanchuan County is still in the hands of Qin.
This is why Qin sent reinforcements, and he was the only one among the three Jins to propose a night attack.
To put it bluntly, the knife has not yet been cut on Zhao and Wei, but it has already been cut on South Korea.
If there was even half a hope, he would agree to Zhou Jiang's proposal.
But this is impossible!
Not to mention half hope, there is no chance at all.
It was impossible for him to send these soldiers under his command to die.
"I will report to your Majesty and ask him to ask Zhao Jun and Wei Jun to take action." Zhou Jiang turned around and walked towards the city.
Bao Luan disagreed, and he had no choice. At this time, the Duke of Western Zhou did not dare and could not offend Bao Luan.
Bao Luan sighed and did not stop.
Zhou Jiang won't give up unless he gives it a try.
Even if the Zhao and Wei armies were able to break through the Qin army's defense line and destroy these chariots, the losses would be extremely heavy.
You, the Western Zhou Kingdom, cannot afford the price to make up for the losses of Zhao and Wei.
Just saying a word about the world's righteousness will make your lips dry and your teeth cold.
How could Zhao and Wei agree?
"Damn it, if only there were exploding arrows, or if there were strong crossbowmen, I could kill so many trampolines." Bao Luan said angrily as he looked at the trampolines moving under the city.
With the terrifying destructive power of the powerful crossbowmen, coupled with the attached sure-hit effect, even the churro chariot can penetrate it. It is useless for the Qin army to hide in the churro chariot, and they will still be shot to death.
Although the explosive arrow is not as lethal as the crossbowman, the explosion after hitting it can destroy the structure of the tram.
No matter which one of the two is present, it will not be the turn of the chariot to show off its power.
However, the crossbowmen have perished.
There is an army in South Korea that has the explosive arrow talent, but Bao Luan did not bring it.
After all, the Archer Legion needs to rely on the protection of other legions. If it is betrayed by the Zhao and Wei armies, there will be no place to cry.
It's better to bring someone with you who has the ability to save your life and escape.
I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than teach the people of the world to betray me.
The result is now embarrassing.
Bao Luan doesn't have Wang Lu's ability to change the talent of his army at any time.
Even Wang Lu, whether he can train the explosive arrow talent is still a problem.
Although every country has many archers, there are actually very few truly elite archers.
Because elite archers need to feed a lot of arrows, these are money, and there is no way to do it quickly. You really get what you pay for.
Most archers can only draw bows and shoot arrows, which is roughly equivalent to the level of mounted infantry.
Outside the city, more than 100,000 Qin troops were waiting in strict formation, and the air of murder was so intense that even birds did not dare to fly over the sky.
Zhang Ruo stood on the chariot, wearing a strong sword and looking calmly at the royal city.
As early as the period of King Huiwen of Qin, Zhang Yi formulated a strategy for Qin to capture Sanchuan. However, at that time, Qin's strength was still insufficient and he did not dare to risk the world's disapproval. He could only attack Bashu to accumulate strength.
Now that decades have passed, the long-cherished wish of our ancestors is finally fulfilled in his hands.
Densely packed arrows were pouring down towards the Qin army like raindrops. Even with the protection of the churro chariot, Qin soldiers continued to be hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The churro chariot was even more filled with arrows, like huge hedgehogs on the ground.
move.
"The Korean army learned that our army did not have enough arrows, so they sent arrows to our army."
Zhang Ruo smiled and ordered the chariots to be withdrawn, remove the arrows from them, and then attack the city again.
These arrows are well made and most of them can be used again, which saves the Qin army from making them themselves.
These are all money, and you can save whatever you can. Qin’s economy has not been very good in recent years.
If the State of Zhao knew that the arrows they had worked so hard to make were given to the Qin Army by the Han Army, I don’t know how they would feel.
After a while, the number of arrows fired from the city began to decrease. It was obvious that the Korean army was also aware of the problem.
"General Wang Lu, prepare to attack. Cover with catapults and bed crossbows." Zhang Ruo seized the opportunity and ordered the siege to begin.
"The whole army attacks. The first one to ascend will be promoted to the third level and given 500 gold."
Wang Hao pulled out the long sword from his waist and swung it forward with all his strength. The red war cloud spread like flames with Wang Hao as the center and spread out in all directions.
Wherever it spreads, the aura of the Qin army begins to surge.
It's not just a surge in momentum, but also a surge in physical fitness.
Wang Hao's talent is very powerful. As long as the enemy is not defeated, the attack power will be increased next time he attacks. There are no side effects. The only limit is the upper limit of the soldiers' endurance.
After several months of continuous accumulation, Wang Hao's bonus to the Qin army almost reached the limit that the soldiers could bear.
Especially the thousands of Qin soldiers behind Wang Hao. The muscles on his arms are bulging as high as hills, almost bursting the armor. His body is emitting a faint red light, which is purple in red and black in purple.
"kill!"
The Qin army roared and swept towards the royal city.
At this moment, the royal city and the defenders on the city had turned into meritorious deeds in the eyes of the Qin army, becoming a stepping stone for them to be promoted to official positions.
"It's true that seeing is better than hearing. I had only heard about General Wang Lu's talent before. He claimed that there was no enemy that could not be defeated and no city that could not be conquered. I still didn't believe it. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved." Zhang Ruo
exclaimed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His talent has no special effects, it is just a passive effect. It can increase the centripetal force of his subordinates. It is useful whether he is the guardian of a county or the leader of an army.
.
Although it is also very useful, it is far behind Wang Lu in terms of momentum.
Originally, he was very confident about capturing the royal city, but after seeing Wang Lu's ability, he was even more confident.
No wonder Wang Ji of Qin would rather offend some of his ministers to keep Wang Lu.
"The commander-in-chief is ridiculous, but he is just spreading rumors. If there really is no city that cannot be captured, the entire world now belongs to our Qin country, why are we still at the foot of the royal city." Wang Hao said with a bitter smile.
His talent can indeed bring great improvements to the army, which is what he has always been proud of, but these improvements are not omnipotent, and sometimes even bring blind self-confidence to the soldiers, causing them to be defeated by the enemy.
Seize the opportunity.
The strong wind swept the war clouds, and the sea of fire that covered the sky and the sun rushed down towards the royal city, seeming to be able to destroy the entire royal city.
The soldiers looked at the Qin army nervously and grasped their weapons tightly with both hands.
At this moment, only the weapons in their hands can bring them a little bit of safety.
"Is this the true strength of the Qin Army? Is this the Qin Army we defeated at that time?" A Korean soldier murmured.
He couldn't believe that he could defeat such a Qin army!
"Even if they are defeated, it will be defeated by Zhao Jun and Wei Jun. At most, we did not hold back." The centurion next to him said with a curled lip.
The people around them nodded in agreement. At that time, both the Zhao army and the Wei army had an advantage, but the Han army was at a disadvantage.
If Zhao Jun had not provided timely support, he would have fled.
"We are allies. We defeated the Qin army together. No one less can do it. And if we can defeat the Qin army once, we can defeat the Qin army a second time." Bao Luan glared at the centurion fiercely and said loudly,
The morale was barely brought back.
"Fire arrows! Don't let the Qin army cross the moat."
Following Bao Luan's order, all Korean troops raised their bows and set up arrows. The overwhelming arrows cut through the long wind and shot down the Qin soldiers who were attacking the royal city.
"Raise your shield!"
Chen Zhuang gave an order, and all the Qin soldiers raised their shields in unison.
"Damn it!" Baoluan slapped his thigh angrily.
Now he finally felt how disgusting the legion trained by his father was, not only disgusting to the enemy, but also disgusting to himself.
All abilities were focused on protecting one's life. The arrows shot could not even penetrate the Qin army's shields and armor, let alone kill them. They were simply inferior to the Western Zhou army.
"Throw away the bow and arrows and replace them with crossbows." Bao Luan looked at the Qin army's crossbows under the city and said in a deep voice.
But not only your Qin State has bed crossbows, the power of our Korean bed crossbows is even greater than yours. In order to facilitate the defense of the city, Bao Luan transferred two hundred bed crossbows from South Korea.
Soon, the crossbow was brought up from behind, and the Korean soldiers skillfully loaded the huge crossbow arrows that exuded coldness into the crossbow machine.
Each crossbow arrow was as big as a short gun. As the sound of pulling the trigger came, the sound of piercing the air echoed throughout the battlefield.
"Bang bang bang!"
The huge crossbow arrows instantly penetrated shields and armors, and the sharp arrows mercilessly pierced the Qin army's chest, piercing through several people before sinking into the ground.
Some crossbow arrows penetrated deeply into the chariot, and the arrow tails shook violently, making a buzzing sound.
"Hey, they're not crossbowmen after all." Bao Luan sighed.
If it were a strong crossbow soldier, it would not be as simple as simply submerging into the chariot, but directly killing the Qin soldiers in the chariot.
"Don't stop, keep charging. Once you get close, the Han army's crossbows will be useless!" Chen Zhuang said loudly.
The surviving Qin army suppressed the fear in their hearts, and under the leadership of Chen Zhuang, they quickly rushed to the moat, set up ladders, and prepared to climb over.
"Did the Qin army start attacking without even probing?" the deputy general exclaimed.
"Since when are you still testing? Has the fight in the past few months been in vain?" Bao Luan glanced at the deputy general and said sternly, "The crossbow team is ready. Let me aim at the Qin army on the moat to fight."
Bed crossbows are difficult to defeat enemies at close range under the city, but the Korean army not only has bed crossbows, but also hand crossbows, which can be aimed just by standing on the city wall.
The Western Zhou Army did not stop attacking. Although they were not as good as the Qin Army, they had experienced the baptism of war. Under stable performance, their lethality was even higher than that of the Han Army, which was affected by talent.
The Western Zhou army, which fought in conjunction with the Zhao army and the Wei army, had been trained with talent by Le Cheng and Mang Mao.
Although the Western Zhou army was basically strong men recruited from the city, they had experienced several months of war and had been baptized in spirit and will.
Moreover, they are all natives of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they still have a sense of identity with the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Coupled with the national crisis, everyone is united, let alone an elite talent, it is possible to take a step further.
It's a pity that the Kingdom of Western Zhou didn't even have a decent general. The king of Western Zhou only dared to hide behind him, and the king of Zhou lay motionless on the bed. Such a good opportunity was wasted.
If it were not for the special period of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in any other period, the Western Zhou Kingdom would have been destroyed countless times.
Under the attack of the Han army, the Qin army continued to be hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The closer to the city wall, the smaller the number of Qin troops. At the bottom of the city wall, there was not a single Qin army.
The Qin army, which was advancing one after another, was like moths fluttering into the flames. Even though they knew they were about to die, no one retreated.
Perhaps, it is for the belief in my heart.
Or maybe, they have no other choice.
"Push over twenty more churros." Zhang Ruo ordered.
"This is more than half of our army's chrysanthemums. If the three Jins leave the city..." Wan said with some worry.
He had fought many battles with the Three Jin Dynasties and knew how powerful the Three Jin Dynasties were. If the Three Jin Dynasties destroyed these chariots at all costs, it would be difficult for the Qin army to stop them.
Once these chrysanthemums are destroyed, the time it takes for the Qin army to capture the royal city will be at least doubled, and casualties will be greatly increased.
"Don't worry, Sanjin will not leave the city. Even if he does, I will make sure that he never returns." Zhang Ruo said confidently.
He was previously worried that the Korean army had the ability to remotely destroy these trampolines, but after testing, he was almost certain that the Korean army with the talent for explosive arrows was not here.
In this case, there is no need to hide it.
It has been several months since the Qin State attacked the royal city. Although the logistics can still support it, Qin Wangji is already a little impatient.
There is still a group of conservatives in Xianyang who are chattering endlessly. An early victory can shut up these people.
Facts have proved that Zhang Ruo was not wrong.
After receiving the request from the Duke of Western Zhou, Lecheng and Mangmao decisively refused.
What a joke!
Not to mention that the Qin army mainly attacked the Korean defense line, even if it focused on the west of the city, the Zhao army could not risk the entire army to destroy these chrysanthemums.
This is the defense battle of Luoyi, not the defense battle of Handan!
I can't afford to be so desperate.
"If three thousand tigers and warriors are still there, why should I be afraid of the Qin State, and why would the Great Zhou be like this!" The Duke of Western Zhou couldn't help feeling sad, and his heart was filled with infinite desolation.
"Your Majesty, since the three Jin Dynasties are not willing to help, I will personally lead the army to destroy these chariots." Zhou Jiang said through gritted teeth.
"How sure are you, Ai Qing?" Lord Western Zhou's eyes lit up, and he grasped Zhou Jiang tightly with both hands, as if he was grasping the last glimmer of hope for the Kingdom of Western Zhou.
"Less than 10%." Zhou Jiang lowered his head, not daring to look at Lord Xi Zhou.
The light in Lord Xizhou's eyes was instantly annihilated.
If it’s less than 10%, wouldn’t that mean you’re going to die?
In this case, it is better to keep these troops to defend the city, at least for a while.
"We will consider this matter in the long term. You should go back first." Lord Xi Zhou waved his hand and said.
"No." Zhou Jiang surrendered.
Lord Xi Zhou sat slumped on the couch, looking bitterly outside the hall, with two lines of tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes.
Five hundred years ago, during the Quanrong Rebellion, the Zhou Dynasty could still move from Haojing to Luoyi. Now there is only a small area left, where can it move to?
